sū zhǎng yù hái yǒu jù huà méi shuō 。
苏长玉还有句话没说。
Su Changyu had one more point to add.
tàn suǒ jī yuán ， bìng fēi shì méi yǒu fēng xiǎn de 。
探索机缘，并非是没有风险的。
Exploring for opportunities was not without risks.
ruò shì tā men yī tóng qián qù ， zuì zhōng quán jūn fù mò 。
若是他们一同前去，最终全军覆没。
If they all went together and ended up completely wiped out, the传承 of 复仙 would be cut off from then on.
【 fù xiān 】 de chuán chéng ， bù jiù zì cǐ duàn jué le me 。
【复仙】的传承，不就自此断绝了么。
This was the main concern in Xiao Heng's mind.
zhè cái shì xiāo héng xīn zhōng zuì wèi gù lǜ de yì diǎn 。
这才是萧恒心中最为顾虑的一点。
However, Su Changyu also noticed that among those present, apart from Xiao Heng, no one seemed to take 复仙 too seriously at this moment. At least, compared to their own cultivation, the inheritance of 复仙 was not worth mentioning.
bù guò sū zhǎng yù yě kàn chū lái le ， cǐ shí zài chǎng zhòng rén chú le xiāo héng zhī wài ， qí tā rén mù qián bìng méi yǒu bǎ 【 fù xiān 】 kàn de tài zhòng 。
不过苏长玉也看出来了，此时在场众人除了萧恒之外，其他人目前并没有把【复仙】看的太重。
Xiao Heng might have known this as well.
zuì qǐ mǎ ， hé zì shēn xiū wèi xiāng bǐ ， suǒ wèi de 【 fù xiān 】 chuán chéng ， shí zài bù zhí yī tí 。
最起码，和自身修为相比，所谓的【复仙】传承，实在不值一提。
But he had his own principles and did not force others to follow them.
xiāo héng xīn zhōng yě wèi bì bù qīng chǔ zhè diǎn 。
萧恒心中也未必不清楚这点。
So, he didn't say it directly.
bù guò tā xīn zhōng zì yǒu cāo shǒu ， què bìng bù qiáng jiā bié rén 。
不过他心中自有操守，却并不强加别人。
Although Su Changyu's eyes were closed, he could read everyone's minds in the room.
suǒ yǐ yě bù hǎo zhí shuō 。
所以也不好直说。
Thus, he stepped forward to break the deadlock: "How about this? Xiao Heng and Little Sister, along with Zhang Haobo, you should go together to 苍梧渊."
sū zhǎng yù yǎn jīng suī rán yì zhí bì zhe ， dàn què dòng xī chǎng zhōng zhòng rén xīn shì 。
苏长玉眼睛虽然一直闭着，但却洞悉场中众人心事。
"And as for me, I'll stay here."
yú shì zhǔ dòng chū lái jiě wéi ：“ bù rú zhè yàng ， xiāo héng 、 xiǎo mèi hái yǒu zhāng hào bō ， nǐ men jié bàn qù cāng wú yuān 。”
于是主动出来解围：“不如这样，萧恒、小妹还有张浩波，你们结伴去苍梧渊。”
Before Su Xiaoxia could object, he continued explaining, "The technique I practice is special. The so-called opportunities are not much use to me."
“ zhì yú wǒ ， jiù liú zài cǐ dì 。”
“至于我，就留在此地。”
"So there's no need for any concern on your part."
bù děng sū xiǎo mèi fǎn bó ， tā jì xù jiě shì dào ：“ wǒ suǒ xiū gōng fǎ tè shū 。 suǒ wèi de jī yuán ， qí shí duì wǒ bìng wú duō dà yòng chǔ 。”
不等苏小妹反驳，他继续解释道：“我所修功法特殊。所谓的机缘，其实对我并无多大用处。”
Xiao Heng looked at Su Changyu with gratitude.
“ suǒ yǐ nǐ men yě bù bì jiè huái 。”
“所以你们也不必介怀。”
But Su Xiaoxia turned away in a pout and refused to look at him.
xiāo héng wén yán ， cháo sū zhǎng yù tóu lái gǎn jī de mù guāng 。
萧恒闻言，朝苏长玉投来感激的目光。
However, she still trusted what Su Changyu said.
sū xiǎo mèi què dǔ qì shì de niǔ guò tóu qù ， bù kàn sū zhǎng yù 。
苏小妹却赌气似的扭过头去，不看苏长玉。
With his decision made, the matter was almost settled.
bù guò xiǎo mèi duì yú sū zhǎng yù de huà hái shì hěn xìn fú de 。
不过小妹对于苏长玉的话还是很信服的。
"Then we'll have one more Little Medicine King Cauldron. Do you really think it's wise to sell it like Senior mentioned?" Zhang Haobo asked with a frown.
rú jīn tā pāi bǎn ， shì qíng jī hū yǐ jīng děng yú dìng xià 。
如今他拍板，事情几乎已经等于定下。
"It is not advisable," Su Changyu shook his head in denial.
“ nà bù jiù duō yí gè xiǎo yào wáng dǐng le ma 。 nán bù chéng ， zhēn xiàng qián bèi suǒ shuō de nà yàng ， bǎ tā mài diào ？” zhāng hào bō zhòu zhe méi wèn dào 。
“那不就多一个小药王鼎了嘛。难不成，真像前辈所说的那样，把他卖掉？”张浩波皱着眉问道。
"Holding a Little Medicine King Cauldron already makes us a target. If we reveal our knowledge of this True Cauldron for profit, that would be foolish."
“ bù kě 。” sū zhǎng yù yáo tóu fǒu rèn 。
“不可。”苏长玉摇头否认。
"Instead, let's keep it and use it as a decoy to distract the enemy at critical moments."
“ shēn huái xiǎo yào wáng dǐng ， yǐ jīng shì huái bì qí zuì 。 ruò shì wèi le diǎn yíng tóu xiǎo lì ， bào lù wǒ men duì zhè yào wáng zhēn dǐng yǒu suǒ liǎo jiě de huà ， shí nǎi bù zhì 。”
“身怀小药王鼎，已经是怀璧其罪。若是为了点蝇头小利，暴露我们对这药王真鼎有所了解的话，实乃不智。”
Xiao Heng agreed with Su Changyu.
“ bù rú liú zhe ， guān jiàn shí kè pāo chū ， dàng zuò fēn sàn dí rén zhù yì lì de yòu ěr 。”
“不如留着，关键时刻抛出，当做分散敌人注意力的诱饵。”
"While it is a pity, this is the most reliable method."
xiāo héng yě duì sū zhǎng yù de huà chí zàn chéng yì jiàn 。
萧恒也对苏长玉的话持赞成意见。
"Just do what you think best!" Su Xiaoxia huffed and stopped arguing.
“ suī rán yǒu diǎn kě xī ， bù guò zhè yě shì zuì wèi wěn tuǒ de fāng fǎ le 。”
“虽然有点可惜，不过这也是最为稳妥的方法了。”
She grabbed Han Wuyou and went outside to play.
“ suí biàn ba ！ fǎn zhèng nǐ men shuō le suàn ！” sū xiǎo mèi hēng le yī shēng ， bù zài fǎn duì 。
“随便吧！反正你们说了算！”苏小妹哼了一声，不再反对。
"Traveling to 苍梧渊 will be long. We are not members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, so we can't use the teleportation array," Xiao Heng said with a frown.
yī bǎ zhuā guò hán wú yōu ， qù wài miàn wán shuǎ le 。
一把抓过韩无忧，去外面玩耍了。
"If we travel by physical body, it would take too much time. There might be unforeseen dangers along the way."
“ cǐ qù cāng wú yuān ， lù tú yáo yuǎn 。 wǒ men bú shì wàn xiān méng xiū shì ， wú fǎ jiè zhù chuán sòng zhèn 。”
“此去苍梧渊，路途遥远。我们不是万仙盟修士，无法借助传送阵。”
"We need to find a better solution..."
“ ròu shēn fēi xíng de huà ， tài guò hào shí ， zhǐ bù dìng tú zhōng huì chū shén me yì wài 。”
“肉身飞行的话，太过耗时，指不定途中会出什么意外。”
Xiao Heng rubbed his chin and continued, "That is...?"
“ hái dé xiǎng gè hǎo bàn fǎ ……”
“还得想个好办法……”
Zhang Haobo hesitated before speaking, "We can use the teleportation array as well."
xiāo héng mō le mō xià bā ， zhòu zhe méi tóu shuō dào 。
萧恒摸了摸下巴，皱着眉头说道。
"Of course, you know that during our exploration in Jiushan Province, we met Senior Shuofeng," Xiao Heng said.
“ nà ge ……” zhāng hào bō yù yán yòu zhǐ 。
“那个……”张浩波欲言又止。
"We joined the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance on our journey to Chaoyuan Sect. We fought through a sea of corpses and blood together, forging deep bonds."
“ zěn me ？” xiāo héng yǒu xiē chà yì de kàn xiàng zhāng hào bō 。
“怎么？”萧恒有些诧异的看向张浩波。
"At our parting, Senior Shuofeng invited us to join the alliance, though we declined."
“ chuán sòng zhèn ， huò xǔ wǒ men yě kě yǐ shǐ yòng 。” zhāng hào bō jiě shì dào 。
“传送阵，或许我们也可以使用。”张浩波解释道。
"But he still left an jade token for Little Sister, which should allow us to use the teleportation array without any issues," Zhang Haobo explained.
“ nǐ yě zhī dào ， zhī qián wǒ men zài jiǔ shān zhōu tàn xiǎn zhōng ， jié shí le shuò fēng qián bèi 。”
“伱也知道，之前我们在九山州探险中，结识了朔锋前辈。”
Xiao Heng nodded in agreement. "That's perfect."
“ cháo yuán zōng zhī xíng ， gèng shì yī tóng cóng shī shān xuè hǎi zhōng shā le chū lái 。”
“朝元宗之行，更是一同从尸山血海中杀了出来。”
He had thought that Zhang Haobo's hesitation was due to Shuofeng being a member of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
“ kě wèi shì jiāo qíng fěi qiǎn 。”
“可谓是交情匪浅。”
Xiao Heng said seriously, "I am not one who cannot adapt. Our enemies are the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, not every individual in it."
“ lí bié zhī jì ， shuò fēng qián bèi céng yāo qǐng wǒ men jiā rù wàn xiān méng ， suī rán bèi wǒ men wǎn jù le 。”
“离别之际，朔锋前辈曾邀请我们加入万仙盟，虽然被我们婉拒了。”
"If we can form alliances with members and weaken them from within, that would be beneficial to us."
“ dàn tā hái shì biǎo shì lǐ jiě ， bìng liú xià le yī méi yù pái gěi xiǎo mèi 。”
“但他还是表示理解，并留下了一枚玉牌给小妹。”
"Why oppose such a plan?
“ píng jiè nà méi yù pái ， wǒ men jiè yòng chuán sòng zhèn ， yīng gāi wèn tí bù dà 。”
“凭借那枚玉牌，我们借用传送阵，应该问题不大。”
"I will go find Little Sister," he said before leaving.
xiāo héng wén yán ， diǎn tóu shuō dào ：“ rú cǐ zài hǎo bù guò 。”
萧恒闻言，点头说道：“如此再好不过。”
Zhang Haobo watched Xiao Heng's back as he left, shaking his head in resignation.
hái yǐ wéi zhāng hào bō xiān qián de yóu yù shì yīn wèi shuò fēng shì wàn xiān méng xiū shì de yuán gù 。
还以为张浩波先前的犹豫是因为朔锋是万仙盟修士的缘故。
"Is there something between Little Sister and Senior Shuofeng?" Su Changyu asked curiously, sensing Zhang Haobo's thoughts.
xiāo héng zhèng sè dào ：“ wǒ yě bìng fēi bù zhī biàn tōng zhī rén 。 wǒ men de dí rén shì wàn xiān méng ， ér bú shì wàn xiān méng de měi yí gè rén 。”
萧恒正色道：“我也并非不知变通之人。我们的敌人是万仙盟，而不是万仙盟的每一个人。”
"How should I know? They seem to be getting along well. Even though Senior Shuofeng has returned to his Shen transformation, he doesn't mind Little Sister's cultivation," Zhang Haobo said with a sigh.
“ ruò shì néng jié jiāo wàn xiān méng xiū shì ， cóng qí nèi bù jìn xíng wǎ jiě ， nà shì bǎi lì ér wú yī hài 。”
“若是能结交万仙盟修士，从其内部进行瓦解，那是百利而无一害。”
"Xiao Heng is really careless about potential dangers."
“ wǒ zěn me huì fǎn duì ne 。”
“我怎么会反对呢。”
Su Changyu chuckled, "You worry too much. In my opinion, there may not be any romantic feelings in Little Sister's heart."
“ wǒ zhè jiù qù zhǎo xiǎo mèi shuō shuō 。”
“我这就去找小妹说说。”
Zhang Haobo shook his head without saying anything.
shuō bà ， xiāo héng biàn lí kāi qù zhǎo sū xiǎo mèi le 。
说罢，萧恒便离开去找苏小妹了。
...
zhāng hào bō kàn zhe xiāo héng de bèi yǐng ， wú nài de yáo le yáo tóu 。
张浩波看着萧恒的背影，无奈的摇了摇头。
Years had passed since the days when they were just little kids. Yet some things remained unchanged.
“ zěn me ， xiǎo mèi hé nà shuò fēng zhī jiān ， shì yǒu yǐn qíng ？” dǎo shì sū zhǎng yù chá jué dào le zhāng hào bō de yì si ， ráo yǒu xìng qù de wèn dào 。
“怎么，小妹和那朔锋之间，似有隐情？”倒是苏长玉察觉到了张浩波的意思，饶有兴趣的问道。
Li Fan couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia as he thought about his children from past lives.
“ shuí zhī dào ne ， fǎn zhèng wǒ kàn tā men liǎng dǎ dī huǒ rè 。 nà shuò fēng suī rán rú jīn yǐ jīng zhòng huí huà shén xiū wèi ， dàn què bìng bù jiè yì xiǎo mèi de xiū wèi 。”
“谁知道呢，反正我看他们两打的火热。那朔锋虽然如今已经重回化神修为，但却并不介意小妹的修为。”
"Really getting old," he mused to himself.
“ āi ， xiāo héng zhè xiǎo zi ， shì yì diǎn wēi jī gǎn dōu méi yǒu 。”
“哎，萧恒这小子，是一点危机感都没有。”
He quickly pushed aside these thoughts.
sū zhǎng yù shěn rán yī xiào ：“ nǐ zhēn shì cāo xīn tài duō 。 yī wǒ kàn ， xiǎo mèi de xīn zhōng ， wèi bì yǒu qíng ài zhī shì 。”
苏长玉哂然一笑：“你真是操心太多。依我看，小妹的心中，未必有情爱之事。”
...
zhāng hào bō yě shì yáo tóu wú yǔ 。
张浩波也是摇头无语。
Xiao Heng, after much effort, finally convinced Su Xiaoxia to agree to give Shuofeng's jade token.
……
……
A few days later, Xiao Heng, Su Xiaoxia, and Zhang Haobo set off for 苍梧州 on a long journey.
shí gé duō nián ， dāng chū de jǐ gè xiǎo wá wá ， sì hū dōu yǐ jīng zhǎng dà 。
时隔多年，当初的几个小娃娃，似乎都已经长大。
Han Wuyou waved goodbye with wide eyes of envy.
dàn què yòu yǐn yǐn yǒu xiē dōng xī méi biàn 。
但却又隐隐有些东西没变。
Su Changyu's eyelids twitched as if he wanted to open his eyes but remained calm until the end.
lǐ fán yě bù jīn hū de yǒu xiē gǎn kǎi ， huǎng hū jiān xiǎng qǐ le zuì chū jǐ shì zì jǐ de ér nǚ men 。
李凡也不禁忽的有些感慨，恍惚间想起了最初几世自己的儿女们。
He never opened his double pupils.
“ hái zhēn shì lǎo le 。” xīn zhōng àn dào yī shēng 。
“还真是老了。”心中暗道一声。
Shuofeng's jade token was indeed useful.
suí hòu hěn kuài ， lǐ fán biàn jiāng zhè lǚ qíng xù yā xià 。
随后很快，李凡便将这缕情绪压下。
...
……
……
Even though they were not members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, Xiao Heng and company managed to enter Shi Lin City without any hindrance.
què shuō xiāo héng fèi le hǎo dà yī fān gōng fu ， cái hǒng dé sū xiǎo mèi xǐ xiào yán kāi ， tóng yì jiāo chū shuò fēng de yù pái 。
却说萧恒废了好大一番功夫，才哄得苏小妹喜笑颜开，同意交出朔锋的玉牌。
Xiao Heng tightly held Su Xiaoxia who was very curious and wanted to explore everywhere.
zhǔn bèi le jǐ rì hòu ， xiāo héng 、 sū xiǎo mèi 、 zhāng hào bō sān rén ， biàn tà shàng le yuǎn fù cāng wú zhōu zhī lù 。
准备了几日后，萧恒、苏小妹、张浩波三人，便踏上了远赴苍梧州之路。
He activated the teleportation array with some trepidation.
hán wú yōu yī shuāng dà yǎn jīng ， mǎn shì xiàn mù 。
韩无忧一双大眼睛，满是羡慕。
They teleported to the border of Shi Lin Province, crossed the white mist barrier, and arrived in Yuan Dao Province.
huī wǔ zhuó shǒu hé tā men gào bié 。
挥舞着手和他们告别。
Using the teleportation array continuously, they rushed towards 苍梧之渊 in the southwest corner of 大玄界.
sū zhǎng yù zé shì yǎn pí jù liè tiào dòng ， sì hū xiǎng yào zhēng kāi shuāng yǎn 。
苏长玉则是眼皮剧烈跳动，似乎想要睁开双眼。
After about half a month,
dàn tā shǐ zhōng miàn sè píng jìng wú bǐ 。
但他始终面色平静无比。
When Li Fan began inspecting the Heavenly Xuan Lock Spirit Array in Lanlin Province, Xiao Heng's group finally reached their destination.
zhí dào zuì hòu ， yě méi yǒu zhēng kāi zì jǐ de zhòng tóng shuāng mù 。
直到最后，也没有睁开自己的重瞳双目。
"It seems that Lanlin Province is not far from 苍梧渊. Even without using the感应法阵, my formless killing intent can still sense it."
shuò fēng de yù pái guǒ rán hǎo yòng 。
朔锋的玉牌果然好用。
With everyone's eyes, Li Fan could finally see this famous 苍梧之渊.
jí biàn bú shì wàn xiān méng xiū shì ， xiāo héng tā men yě dé yǐ chàng tōng wú zǔ de jìn rù le shí lín xiān chéng 。
即便不是万仙盟修士，萧恒他们也得以畅通无阻的进入了石临仙城。
Unlike the completely vanished 丛云渊,
xiāo héng sǐ sǐ lā zhù shí fēn hào qí 、 xiǎng yào dào chù guàng guàng de sū xiǎo mèi 。
萧恒死死拉住十分好奇、想要到处逛逛的苏小妹。
This 苍梧之渊 resembled 大玄的墟渊.
nèi xīn yǒu xiē tǎn tè de ， fā dòng le chuán sòng zhèn 。
内心有些忐忑的，发动了传送阵。
Below the towering cliffs were endless deep valleys.
chuán sòng dào shí lín zhōu biān chuí ， kuà guò bái wù bì zhàng ， zhòng rén lái dào le yuán dào zhōu 。
传送到石临州边陲，跨过白雾壁障，众人来到了源道州。
Above them, red clouds swirled endlessly, their end invisible to the eye.
suí hòu bù duàn jiè zhù chuán sòng zhèn ， wǎng xuán huáng jiè xī nán jiǎo luò de cāng wú zhī yuān gǎn qù 。
随后不断借助传送阵，往玄黄界西南角落的苍梧之渊赶去。
Many flying birds and strange beasts soared through the clouds.
rú cǐ ， dà bàn gè yuè hòu 。
如此，大半个月后。
On the cliff walls, there were many buildings built into the mountains at regular intervals.
dāng lǐ fán kāi shǐ yàn shōu lán lín zhōu de tiān xuán suǒ líng zhèn shí ， xiāo héng yī xíng rén zhōng yú dào dá le mù dì dì 。
当李凡开始验收兰林州的天玄锁灵阵时，萧恒一行人终于到达了目的地。
"The 苍梧之渊 is a special landscape formed by the disappearance of all water and land in the former 苍梧 Province many years ago."
“ kàn lái lán lín zhōu jù lí cāng wú yuān dí què bù yuǎn 。 nǎ pà bù yòng jiè zhù gǎn yìng fǎ zhèn ， wǒ de wú xiāng shā jī yě néng gǎn yìng dào huà miàn 。”
“看来兰林州距离苍梧渊的确不远。哪怕不用借助感应法阵，我的无相杀机也能感应到画面。”
"So its bottom resembles a footprint."
jiè zhù zhòng rén zhī yǎn ， lǐ fán yě zhōng yú néng qīn yǎn dé jiàn zhè wén míng xǔ jiǔ de cāng wú zhī yuān 。
借助众人之眼，李凡也终于能亲眼得见这闻名许久的苍梧之渊。
"Having probed down about 300,000 feet so far, but it still hasn't reached the bottom."
hé wán quán huà zuò xū wú de cóng yún yuān bù yí yàng 。
和完全化作虚无的丛云渊不一样。
"The 苍梧之渊 isn't empty. Each layer has its own characteristics."
zhè chù cāng wú yuān ， gèng xiàng shì dà xuán de xū yuān 。
这处苍梧渊，更像是大玄的墟渊。
"The first layer is from the ground to 30,000 feet underground. Various strange beasts live in the 苍梧 clouds and the cliff walls of the valley."
gāo sǒng de jué bì xià fāng ， shì wú jìn de shēn gǔ 。
高耸的绝壁下方，是无尽的深谷。
"These beasts can swallow gold and spit out lightning, very powerful. They are fearless of death and often travel in groups. Be careful."
shēn gǔ shàng fāng ， chì sè yún wù liáo rào ， kàn bú jiàn jìn tóu 。
深谷上方，赤色云雾缭绕，看不见尽头。
"The second layer is from 30,000 to 80,000 feet underground..."
bù shǎo fēi niǎo yì shòu áo xiáng zài yún wù zhī zhōng 。
不少飞鸟异兽翱翔在云雾之中。
Su Xiaoxia read aloud the description on the free jade scroll provided by a cultivator outside 苍梧之渊.
ér zài yá bì shàng ， què shì měi gé yī duàn xiàng xià de jù lí ， jiù yǒu xǔ duō yī shān ér jiàn 、 shēn rù shān tǐ nèi bù de jiàn zhù 。
而在崖壁上，却是每隔一段向下的距离，就有许多依山而建、深入山体内部的建筑。
"How big, how deep."
“ cāng wú zhī yuān ， nǎi shì xǔ duō nián qián ， cāng wú yī zhōu zhī dì shān shuǐ jǐn jiē xiāo shī xíng chéng de tè shū dì mào 。”
“苍梧之渊，乃是许多年前，苍梧一州之地山水尽皆消失形成的特殊地貌。”
"Even if the True Medicine King Cauldron really exists in this 苍梧之渊, we can't find it?" she whispered to Xiao Heng.
“ gù ér ， yuān yǒu qí jiè ， zhuàng ruò jiǎo zhǎng 。”
“故而，渊有其界，状若脚掌。”
Xiao Heng's mind was suddenly alert. He activated his Little Medicine King Cauldron from his storage ring and sensed it.
“ jīn yǐ xiàng xià tàn míng yuē sān shí wàn zhàng ， rán réng yuǎn wèi jiàn dǐ 。”
“今已向下探明约三十万丈，然仍远未见底。”
Sure enough, at a certain position deep in the abyss, something was responding to the Little Medicine King Cauldron.
“ cāng wú yuān nèi ， bìng fēi kōng wú yī wù 。 ér shì gè yǒu qí mào 。”
“苍梧渊内，并非空无一物。而是各有其貌。”
(End of Chapter)
Su Changyu had one more point to add.
Exploring for opportunities was not without risks.
If they all went together and ended up completely wiped out, the传承 of 复仙 would be cut off from then on.
This was the main concern in Xiao Heng's mind.
However, Su Changyu also noticed that among those present, apart from Xiao Heng, no one seemed to take 复仙 too seriously at this moment. At least, compared to their own cultivation, the inheritance of 复仙 was not worth mentioning.
Xiao Heng might have known this as well.
But he had his own principles and did not force others to follow them.

Thus, he stepped forward to break the deadlock: "How about this? Xiao Heng and Little Sister, along with Zhang Haobo, you should go together to 苍梧渊."
"And as for me, I'll stay here."
Before Su Xiaoxia could object, he continued explaining, "The technique I practice is special. The so-called opportunities are not much use to me."
"So there's no need for any concern on your part."
Xiao Heng looked at Su Changyu with gratitude.
But Su Xiaoxia turned away in a pout and refused to look at him.
However, she still trusted what Su Changyu said.
With his decision made, the matter was almost settled.
"Then we'll have one more Little Medicine King Cauldron. Do you really think it's wise to sell it like Senior mentioned?" Zhang Haobo asked with a frown.

A few days later, Xiao Heng, Su Xiaoxia, and Zhang Haobo set off for 苍梧州 on a long journey.
Han Wuyou waved goodbye with wide eyes of envy.
Su Changyu's eyelids twitched as if he wanted to open his eyes but remained calm until the end.
He never opened his double pupils.
Shuofeng's jade token was indeed useful.
...
Even though they were not members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, Xiao Heng and company managed to enter Shi Lin City without any hindrance.
Xiao Heng tightly held Su Xiaoxia who was very curious and wanted to explore everywhere.
He activated the teleportation array with some trepidation.
They teleported to the border of Shi Lin Province, crossed the white mist barrier, and arrived in Yuan Dao Province.
Using the teleportation array continuously, they rushed towards 苍梧之渊 in the southwest corner of 大玄界.
After about half a month,
When Li Fan began inspecting the Heavenly Xuan Lock Spirit Array in Lanlin Province, Xiao Heng's group finally reached their destination.
"It seems that Lanlin Province is not far from 苍梧渊. Even without using the感应法阵, my formless killing intent can still sense it."
With everyone's eyes, Li Fan could finally see this famous 苍梧之渊.
Unlike the completely vanished 丛云渊,
This 苍梧之渊 resembled 大玄的墟渊.
Below the towering cliffs were endless deep valleys.
Above them, red clouds swirled endlessly, their end invisible to the eye.
Many flying birds and strange beasts soared through the clouds.
On the cliff walls, there were many buildings built into the mountains at regular intervals.
"The 苍梧之渊 is a special landscape formed by the disappearance of all water and land in the former 苍梧 Province many years ago."
"So its bottom resembles a footprint."
"Having probed down about 300,000 feet so far, but it still hasn't reached the bottom."
"The 苍梧之渊 isn't empty. Each layer has its own characteristics."
"The first layer is from the ground to 30,000 feet underground. Various strange beasts live in the 苍梧 clouds and the cliff walls of the valley."
"These beasts can swallow gold and spit out lightning, very powerful. They are fearless of death and often travel in groups. Be careful."
"The second layer is from 30,000 to 80,000 feet underground..."
Su Xiaoxia read aloud the description on the free jade scroll provided by a cultivator outside 苍梧之渊.
"How big, how deep."
"Even if the True Medicine King Cauldron really exists in this 苍梧之渊, we can't find it?" she whispered to Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng's mind was suddenly alert. He activated his Little Medicine King Cauldron from his storage ring and sensed it.
Sure enough, at a certain position deep in the abyss, something was responding to the Little Medicine King Cauldron.
