Following the guidance from the jade slip provided by Hongyi, Xu Ping pinpointed several areas most likely to contain the Ten Thousand-Year Spiritual Marrow Jade and prepared to explore them one by one.
He kept a low profile, concealing his aura to the extreme, transforming into a barely perceptible shadow, silently shuttling between the mountains and valleys.
Along the way, he sensed many traces of cultivator activity.
Most were teams of Golden Core Stage cultivators, cautiously searching the peripheral areas for lower-value spiritual materials or hunting the mutated demon beasts worth a lot after being tainted by demonic qi.
Occasionally, he encountered one or two early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators who were mostly solitary travelers, moving swiftly and with wary eyes.
The deeper he went, the fewer the figures became, and the danger level increased exponentially. Replacing them were more and more grotesque mutated demon beasts.
