Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 647 The Sea of Herbs.

Chapter 647 The Sea of Herbs.

Gao Ge has started to set off.

Having stayed in Jiangnan City for several days, he is worried about whether anything is wrong in Song City.

However, to Gao Ge’s surprise, Xia Lu has been informing him that she is handling everything well.

Supposedly, there won’t be any big problem. Moreover, Xia Lu is accompanied by the fox spirit. Given the fox spirit’s competence, they don’t need to be afraid even in the face of the cultivator at the realm of Master.

Besides, Xia Lu has an elder brother, Xia Shengtang.

If the Xia Family really encounters any trouble, Xia Shengtang can surely deal with it.

At the thought of Xia Shengtang, Gao Ge just feels stressed out.

He is wondering to what degree the man who always wants to beat him up has grown...

“I’m going to west Huaxia tomorrow,” Gao Ge says to Yue Xincheng.

“Okay, I’m going with you,” Yue Xincheng grins and says.

“I’m going alone.” Gao Ge shakes his head.

Yue Xincheng feels unhappy instantly. “Why?”

With a smile, Gao Ge says, “In terms of looking for people, it doesn’t matter whether two or one does it. It is all about luck. It’s no point that you follow me to run about. Why don’t you seize the time to enhance your capability? By then, we will be two cultivators at the realm of Master. Who will dare to mess with us?”

Yue Xincheng is still hesitant.

“However, I don’t want you to stay in Jiangnan City either,” Gao Ge continues.

Yue Xincheng is slightly dazed and then whispers, “Boss, what special task do you want to assign to me?”

“Sure,” Gao Ge says. “You need to go to the capital.”

Yue Xincheng is quite confused.

Gao Ge’s proposal is a bit out of the blue. Yue Xincheng hasn’t heard of it before. It is somewhat abrupt to hear Gao Ge talk of it.

Gao Ge takes a deep breath and says, “The arrival of Master Guanshan and the others make me quite insecure, so you need to go to the capital and ask what their plan is. Actually, this is a tip I got from Earth Dragon. I should be the one going there, which is also their requirement, but my identity is quite special now. Hence, I may as well send you there. Fewer people are watching you than me.”

Yue Xincheng knows that Gao Ge is telling the truth but upon thinking that he is going to the capital while Gao Ge is going to west Huaxia, he feels rather depressed. He looks at Gao Ge sadly, as if he were a girl ditched by her boyfriend.

Gao Ge can’t help knitting his brows, so he has to compromise and say, “If you finish your task, you can join up with me in west Huaxia.”

Judging from Yue Xincheng’s excited face, Gao Ge can tell that the guy was exactly waiting for him to say that.

Seeing Yue Xincheng leave with a grin, Gao Ge gives a meaningful smile.

“The point is, when you can leave the capital, I’m afraid that it will be a long time later...”

This is also told by Master Guanshan.

In the Dragon Court, there is also a master who is good at swordsmanship.

Horn Dragon.

Gao Ge hasn’t met him yet, but this man is more competent than Fire Dragon and the others. Very few people can be stronger than him in Huaxia. When the second secret realm, the snow terrain one opened, Horn Dragon guarded the border with his sword on his own, keeping all the foreign enemies away from the territory of Huaxia. It is fair enough to hail him as the best warrior. Now, Horn Dragon happens to be in the capital and it is said that he will stay there for some time. During his stay in the capital, Yue Xincheng can take the opportunity to learn swordsmanship from him, which is kind of a compensation from the Dragon Court to Gao Ge.

As to what the compensation is for, Gao Ge knows it well.

Letting more than ten people come to Jiangnan City from Haicheng Cultivation Academy is actually to force Gao Ge to keep moving forward. It only does good but no harm to Gao Ge, but the Dragon Court has known more about Gao Ge. They realize that actually, Gao Ge is not a guy who is easy to communicate with but he has a feature, that is, he doesn’t like being pushed forward. For example, he did enjoy working for the Dragon Court and also would like to serve the Dragon Court, but he was forced by Heaven Dragon to join the organization back then. Hence, he has been somewhat resentful all the time.

It is the same case now.

In fact, Gao Ge is also willing to set up a sect. After all, accumulating his own power is definitely not a bad thing. However, now that the Dragon Court also has this idea, they will compensate Gao Ge properly. And allowing Yue Xincheng to practice swordsmanship is a part of the compensation. Gao Ge is quite satisfied with it. He feels the Dragon Court’s respect for him, which makes him kind of guilty. He feels that it was not right to quit the Dragon Court decisively... When he deals with all the trouble and returns to the Dragon Court with his own sect one day, will it be a glorious homecoming?

Obviously, Yue Xincheng doesn’t know about Gao Ge’s thinking. What a happy ignorant man...

In fact, Gao Ge has his own reason why he doesn’t allow Yue Xincheng to follow him.

For one thing, as he said, even if he goes to west Huaxia, it is not likely to find the Ghost Sect. Bringing one more person with him won’t make any difference.

For another, he is worried that he may be in trouble if he really finds any trace of the Ghost Sect. If he is alone and runs into them, he can just run away when he can’t defeat them. However, if he brings Yue Xincheng with him, he must protect Yue Xincheng well before he can run away.

Of course, it is not that Gao Ge loathes Yue Xincheng but that he doesn’t want the latter to fall into trouble with him.

Shortly after Yue Xincheng leaves, Shao Shuai also comes.

“I have to go back home now.”

Gao Ge is a bit surprised. “In such a hurry?”

“You don’t say. I’m going back home to get the fund for you. It is quite a huge thing. Yet, you can rest assured. There won’t be any problem on my side, but...” Shao Shuai says and hedges.

Gao Ge laughs and says, “I know. There is no free lunch in the world. Even if I say I borrow the money from you, you may not agree anyway.”

Shao Shuai nods his head and waves his hand, saying, “As I said before, the money is not a big deal to the Shao Family. If we want to, making a few hundred million one day is not a difficult thing. Ahem... Of course, the elixirs are kind of important to my family. Gao Ge, what we need is not only your promise to the Shao Family.”

“You also want something physical?”

“Exactly.” Shao Shuai puts on a stern face.

Gao Ge has been used to Shao Shuai’s frivolous style but now as Shao Shuai suddenly becomes stern, he feels a bit weird.

Gladly, Gao Ge can adjust his condition very fast. They sit opposite each other straight up, kind of ready for the coming negotiation.

“You know, the Shao Family specializes in refining elixirs.”

“Yeah.” Gao Ge nods his head and gestures for Shao Shuai to continue talking with his eyes.

This time, Shao Shuai falls into deep thought rather than rush to speak.

He is probably pondering over the wording.

He keeps tapping the table lightly with his fingers. The speed of tapping also indicates how fast he is pondering.

After a while, he finally continues talking.

“Do you know the sea of herbs?”

Gao Ge is a bit surprised at first and then shakes his head. “I don’t know.”

Not surprised at his reaction, Shao Shuai grins and says, “Actually, the sea of herbs is a very special place, which is kind of a blessed spot. Nevertheless, in the sea of herbs, there is no cultivator but some fierce beasts. It is very dangerous in there. A lot of people go there but very few of them can get out. It would be a miracle that one out of one hundred adventurers can get out. However, he who goes in there can acquire some resources. In that place, there are many precious herbs. Moreover, if you want to go in there, you need some certain luck.”
