Master of Strange Dao

Yu Ziqing wanted Yang to come along to Silver Lake Forbidden Land, but Yang said there were too many chores to attend to at home.

The Jinlan Mushroom Forest he had planted was buried, and those Jinlan Mushrooms, which he had invested heavily in, he couldn't bear to supply to the villagers until he reduced the cost and they could naturally grow again.

The Mountain Protection Array had to be rearranged, the meteoric materials melted, and the Formation experimented with using meteoric materials, as well as forging weapons.

A big mess of things that all needed to be done by him; in the village, there were a bunch of guys who seemed to have muscles for brains, no one to count on.

Add to that the changes in Jinlan Mountain, which had already attracted quite a bit of attention, he must set up the Mountain Protection Array as soon as possible.

It would be best to take this opportunity to use meteoric materials to turn Jinlan Mountain into a proper cultivator's Forbidden Land.

So, the task of exploring the southern Wilderness and Silver Lake would have to be left to Yu Ziqing alone.

After all, with Yu Ziqing's current strength, people below the Seventh Tier Great Cultivator, even if they were rising stars from major forces, would not be able to kill him without using their last resort life-saving methods.

As for those stronger, Yu Ziqing also had ways to escape.

As long as he didn't die, then there wasn't a big problem.

Yu Ziqing had wanted to say something else, but Yang spoke up, reasoning that it couldn't be that every time he left the house, he would need an old nanny to protect him.

Once those words were out, Yu Ziqing couldn't say anything further.

However, investigating the southern Wilderness, Yang couldn't help much anyway.

Many places, many things related to Dadui, could only be personally experienced by Yu Ziqing, who alone had received the recognition of the Dadui official seal.

He had three Big Seals in his possession, and Yu Ziqing couldn't give one to someone else even if he wanted to.

Nowadays, these things only recognized him; it wasn't that he actively refined the Big Seals, but rather the seals actively chose their master, a completely different nature of relationship.

Walking through the southern Wilderness, he deduced the approximate position and distance of the ancient Dadui cities.

He passed by where Jiayin City should be, and where Dinghai City should be, but within that scope, no city suddenly appeared, nor was there anything related to Dadui.

After history settled its dust, the resulting changes seemed, except for the very apparent changes to Jinlan Mountain, to be details one wouldn't notice if not paying attention.

Like the changes to the Nourishing Body Fist Skill.

Previously, it was impossible to unleash the power of the Jade Tomb from a person's body, but now, it was possible.

The Nourishing Body Fist Skill was still the same Nourishing Body Fist Skill, from practice to technique, all exactly as before.

This type of change, had anyone overlooked it before, they would merely assume it was previously ignored, rather than thinking its essence had changed.

While cities were not found, as he approached the vicinity of Silver Lake Forbidden Land, the surrounding didn't seem to have undergone any changes.

However, Yu Ziqing felt a revival of vitality and an indescribable sense, like the thickness born out of years of sedimentation.

Similar to what was happening with Jinlan Mountain now.

At the edge of Silver Lake, Yu Ziqing took a deep breath, absorbing some Xin Metal Qi and Gui Water Qi.

Hmm, indeed it has grown stronger.

Looking at the water level of Silver Lake, it also seemed to have risen a little, yet it wasn't noticeable.

The normally placid Silver Lake, like a mirror's surface, now had ripples.

It was as if... it had come alive.

The warm wind and fine rain that fell from the sky made him feel very comfortable; standing in the rain, there was a sense of vibrant life and the resurgence of spring.

This kind of sensation was definitely not possible to experience near Silver Lake Forbidden Land before.

There were changes, but they were small, all silent transformations requiring time's sedimentation to be noticeable on the surface.

Walking by Silver Lake in the light rain brought a serene and tranquil feeling, soothing much of his mind and spirit.

Yu Ziqing himself thought this sensation was ridiculous, yet also reasonable.

It felt odd.

Stepping out from Silver Lake and moving towards the outside of Silver Lake Forbidden Land, that peaceful and serene feeling still lingered.

Yu Ziqing paused for a moment, looking up at the gloomy sky.

Tilting his head back, he stretched out his hand, quietly feeling the raindrops.

The Two-headed Snake within his body was absorbing the Gui Water Qi from the rain, but unlike the comforting and quiet Yu Ziqing felt, the snake seemed agitated.

In the eyes of the Two-headed Snake, ferocity burst forth, fangs exposed as if ready to claim a victim, growing more and more violent.

Yu Ziqing cut off the channel through which the Two-headed Snake was absorbing the Gui Water Qi, and slowly, it calmed down a bit, but still seemed restless and fidgety.

Yu Ziqing slowly levitated, looking up into the sky.

The Gui Water Qi here wasn't right.

No, it wasn't related to Silver Lake, it was the rain that was odd.

The rain, which brought relaxation and a sense of peace, wasn't harmful to people; on the contrary, it felt purifying to the spirit.

However, those things made the Two-headed Snake restless and aggressive, as if it needed to kill a few to calm down.

Yu Ziqing reflected on the Red Ape in his heart; the original Red Ape was very violent.

But after absorbing the Fire Qi of collective anger and his own rage, it actually calmed down.

What the Five Little Ones needed was completely different from what humans needed.

If it were only Gui Water Qi, the Two-headed Snake wouldn't react, but if there were some intentions imbued within it, then it's a completely different matter.

Meanwhile.

Ji Meng, who had been obscured by the rain, looked shocked yet had an epiphany.
