C49 Cause of Severe Drought

The five of them walked out of the city gates of Yue Su City. After walking for a while to the south, they arrived at a small forest.

There was originally a large lake beside the forest, but due to the drought, there wasn't much water left in the lake. As for the fish and prawns in the lake, they had all been caught by the citizens of Yue Susu City long ago.

Even so, the small forest was much cooler and more secluded than the rest.

"The feast earlier was not held. Let's have a good drink here and have a good chat!"

Li Yi looked at his surroundings and nodded. He took out a set of tables and chairs made of jade from his storage ring and placed them under the tree's shade.

"Storage Ring!" It seems like Brother Li is no ordinary rogue cultivator. I wonder what you want to ask me?

Zheng Feng's face revealed a surprised expression. This storage ring was not an ordinary item. There were so many guests in the City Lord's Mansion, yet no one had a storage ring.

Immortal Master Liu and Master Zhang Tian Shi were also surprised. They knew very well that they had placed their bet on the right person this time around.

"Fellow Daoist Zheng is straightforward, so I won't hide it anymore." I just want to know the real reason behind the drought in Yuesu City. And what was that 'Flame Sect' and 'Flame Mountain' you mentioned during the banquet? "

The moment Li Yi said this, the expressions of Zheng Feng, Immortal Master Liu, and Zhang Tianzhi changed.

Zheng Feng gave Li Yi a profound look. "It seems like the two of you didn't come here for a stroll. It seems like you came here specifically for this matter. "Fine, I will tell Brother Li everything I know. I hope Brother Li will have the ability to solve this disaster. I've done my part for the citizens and the mayor of Susu City!"

"Dao Friend Zheng, have you really made up your mind?" The Fire Worship Sect is notorious for being fiendish, and they are not something we rogue cultivators can provoke! "Aren't you afraid …"

Zhang Tianzhi couldn't help but remind Lin Feng. However, Li Yi glanced at him and shut his mouth in embarrassment.

"Zhang Daoyi, I understand. I am a rogue cultivator, my mana is low, but I feel powerless. I already feel guilty." "Now that I have the ability to spew out the words of my heart, even if I have to bleed three feet of blood from it in the future, I will gladly enjoy it!"

Zheng Feng shook his head with a bitter smile. His attitude was very resolute, so Immortal Master Liu and Zhang Tianzhi no longer tried to persuade him.

"I believe Brother Li should know that the Shucheng City belongs to the south border of the Tianfeng Empire, next to the Zi-Yue Empire and the Qiuyun Empire."

Seeing Li Yi nod, Zheng Feng continued: "This Fire Worship Sect is the Orthodoxy of the Zuiyue Dynasty. It trains in many fire cultivation techniques and its actions are extremely tyrannical. It also has a great power near this Yue Su City. However, they did not openly offend the Misty Pavilion, nor did they provoke the officials of Yue Susu City. Therefore, the Misty Pavilion and the Heavenly Wind Empire turned a blind eye to their actions. "

"The drought in Yue Susu City this time was due to the discovery by the Fire Worship Cult of a fire-type spiritual land in a desolate mountain twenty miles south of the city." The drought in Yue Susu City this time was due to the discovery by the Fire Worship School of a fire-type spiritual land twenty miles south of the city.

"Because the Blazing Mountain is within the borders of the Tianfeng Empire. Logically speaking, the Spirit Stone mine should belong to the Misty Pavilion, and the Fire Worship School has no right to mine it."

"What you're saying is that the Fire Worship Cult is trying to hide the news of the Fire Spirit Land, so they're willing to ignore the thousand miles of drought in Yue Su City and even threaten the rogue cultivators in Yue Su City to keep the information a secret?"

Leng Linglong slammed the table thoughtfully as she guessed.

"That's right. Fairy Linglong is intelligent indeed. The Fire Worship Cult also knows that just their family alone cannot swallow this fire-attribute spiritual land. Therefore, as long as they hand over 100 low-grade spirit stones, they will be able to enter the fire-attribute spiritual land of the Blazing Mountain.

Zheng Feng nodded his head, "It is precisely because of this that the cultivators of Yue Su City keep this matter a secret. It is because no one wants to leak out the news. Although the fire attribute spiritual land is in the hands of the Fire Worship Cult, and requires one to pay a certain amount of spirit stones to enter, the harvest will definitely far surpass the spirit stones to pay. The Fire attribute spiritual land is in the hands of the Fire Worship Cult, and although the fire attribute spiritual land will require a certain amount of spirit stones to enter, the harvest will far exceed the spirit stones to be paid.

"So that's how it is!"

Li Yi came to a sudden realization. No wonder he felt that all the cultivators before him were unable to put in the effort. Their emotions were all hitting his little 99.9 ah!

Of course, this was also the truth. After the Fire Spirit Land was accepted by the Misty Pavilion, it was true that it would not allow loose cultivators to enter. Therefore, the methods of the rogue cultivators in Yue Susu City were undeniable.

"Thank you, Brother Zheng, for your kind words. I, Li, am forever grateful!" I can see that Brother Li's talent is not bad. Why are the wood, fire, and earth spiritual roots only at the Qi Disciple level 2? "

Li Yi clasped his hands at Zheng Feng, asking about the doubts in his heart.

"Brother Li must be a disciple of a famous sect, so he naturally doesn't understand the suffering of a person like us who has come halfway." For a rogue cultivator like me, without a good technique or spirit stone pills, what use is there in having good talent? "

Zheng Feng shook his head with a bitter smile.

Li Yi looked at Leng Linglong with a smile, and the latter smiled in understanding. He took out a jade token from his storage ring and handed it to Li Yi.

"Brother Zheng is an upright person with extraordinary talent. I don't want you to bury me here. This is a recommendation jade slip, take it and if you wish to join the Misty Pavilion, you can use it at the bottom of Floating Peak.

After Li Yi finished speaking, he handed the jade token over to Zheng Feng.

"Recommended jade token!" The Misty Pavilion! "Could it be … could it be that the two of you, Brother Li, are …"

Li Yi nodded with a smile, "We are the Misty Pavilion's inner disciples. We are here to patrol the Kingdom of Tian Feng, and seeing the strange situation here, we hid our identities and investigated."

After speaking, he released a sliver of the Qi of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. In a flash, it disappeared, but it completely stunned Zheng Feng and the other two.

"Foundation Establishment stage cultivator!"

Even though it was only for a short moment, the strong spiritual pressure still made Zheng Feng and the other two feel like they were suffocating. Even if they were idiots, they knew that Li Yi was definitely a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

They had actually been brothers with a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator for a long time. Moreover, this Foundation Establishment stage cultivator was not an ordinary rogue cultivator, but one of the five great immortal sects of the Eastern Region, the Misty Pavilion's inner disciple!

"Senior Li, Senior Leng, please do not blame me for not seeing through Mt. Tai in the first place!"

Zheng Feng and the other two quickly bowed towards Li Yi and Leng Linglong.

"There's no need to be so courteous, the ignorant are not guilty. Besides, Brother Zheng and I are friends at first sight, so there's no need to be formal. "

Li Yi waved his hand, "The black robed cultivator at the banquet must have had some connection with the Divineflame Sect. Brother Zheng, you must have been noticed by him." It's a long story, you'd better leave now. "

How could Zheng Feng not know that he had offended the Fire Worship School? He thought that it would be hard to escape from the Demon Claw this time, but who knew that Li Yi and the others were actually the Misty Pavilion's inner disciples and even gave him a recommendation jade token.

Compared to the Misty Pavilion, the Divineflame Sect was simply trash!

With this jade token, one could become an outer disciple of the Misty Pavilion, ah! This was something countless rogue cultivators yearned for!

As long as he became an outer disciple of the Misty Pavilion, no matter how arrogant the Fire Worship Cult was, they would not dare to touch him, not to mention that they would still have better cultivation methods and resources.

Thinking up to here, Zheng Feng could no longer conceal the excitement in his heart. After thanking Li Yi and Leng Linglong again, he hurried in the direction of the Misty Peak.

"You two, now that you know our true identities, are you planning to quickly go to the Divineflame Sect and inform on us?"

After Zheng Feng left, Li Yi looked at Immortal Master Liu and Master Zhang Tianzhi and asked with a smile that was not a smile.

"No no no, how could that be? This immortal master, no, I, Liu Feng, am not that kind of person! From the moment senior appeared, I knew that the two of you are not ordinary people, and have always followed your lead! "

"Yes, yes, yes. I, Zhang Yong, will absolutely not reveal this to anyone. We are still waiting for Senior to help us!"

Immortal Master Liu and Zhang Tianzhi hurriedly nodded their heads and revealed their loyalty. They indicated that they were definitely in the same boat as Li Yi and Liu Ming and that they would absolutely not inform anyone.

"Alright, since that's the case, then I'll have to trouble the two of you to lead the way. Let's go to that fire attribute spirit land and investigate it on the spot so that we can report the details to our Misty Pavilion Sect. What do you think?"

"This …"

The Misty Pavilion, they were one of the Five Great Doors of the Eastern Region, Li Yi and Li Yi were disciples of the Misty Pavilion, and from the looks of it, they had quite a high status. If they didn't keep up with this and missed this opportunity, then they wouldn't be able to find them in the future.

He did not seek for the path of cultivation as he knew his own business. His talent was limited, and he was already old. Even if he obtained better cultivation techniques and resources, it would be difficult for him to achieve much.

However, as long as he had a firm grasp on Li Yi's thick leg and had a good relationship with the Misty Pavilion, it was very possible for him to be a late stage Qi Cultivating Stage Imperial Advisor!

"It's rare for Senior Li to think so highly of me. Although my cultivation is low, I, Liu Feng, am willing to go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Upon seeing that Immortal Master Liu had already said this, Zhang Tianzhi inwardly cursed himself for being so slow, and at the same time, expressed his willingness to be driven by Li Yi and Han Ying.

"Then Little Wing, let's go!"

Leng Linglong was eager to give it a try as she had been staying in the sect since she was young. At most, she would go down the mountain for a walk, and it was rare for her to encounter such an interesting thing.

"No, Liu Zhang and I will go to the Fire Spirit Land. Linglong, you have another mission."

Li Yi shook his head, "Senior sister, think about it, the birth of the Fire Spirit Land is a big matter. The rogue cultivators in Yue Su City already know about it, so why hasn't our Misty Pavilion received any news. Do you really think that Elder Bai, who is standing beside Zhao Miaoxue, is blind and deaf? "

"Are you saying that Old Bai betrayed the sect?"

After thinking about it, Leng Linglong realized that it was possible.

"This is what I meant by 'Linglong'. We have to investigate the relationship between Elder Bai and the Fire Worship School and provide a good cover for the three of us. We must not let the Fire Worship School discover this beforehand!"
