Chapter 1067: Old Acquaintances in a Distant Land
g""There's nowhere specific I want to go, just wandering around!"Ginger Cloud's answer made the man's eyes widen in shock. He looked at Ginger Cloud as if she were a monster and said, "You just came h...When Ginger Cloud arrived at the Beast Pill Pavilion again, the sky had turned completely dark. The two statues standing at the door emitted a brighter glow from the pearls on their heads, enveloping the entire shop in their light.
After taking a closer look at the two statues for a moment, Jiang Yun became even more certain that they were definitely related to the Flameless Lantern. Then he stepped into the shop.
Although it is already night, there are still a few customers in the shop.
As soon as Gingercloud stepped inside, a young man came up to him, grinning broadly. "What kind of beast pills are you looking for" he asked.
I'm just browsing, don't mind me!
"Okay, call me if you need anything!"
Jiang Yun wandered around the shop at random until all the other customers had left, then he beckoned the previous clerk to his side and said, "Little brother, I want to ask you something."
The companion politely said, “You speak!”
"Those two statues at your shop's entrance are quite interesting. Did you buy them, or were they made by someone"
Jiang Yun's question made the young man pause for a moment, he couldn't help but look Jiang Yun up and down before speaking: "I really don't know about that. Anyway, ever since I arrived here, these two statues have been standing there."
Well, are you going to buy those two statues
A customer like Jiang Yun, who came to the pet medicine shop not to buy medicine but to inquire about the statue at the entrance, was something the shopkeeper had never seen before.
Ginger Cloud could tell that the companion wasn't lying. It seemed they truly didn't know about the statue. Just as he was about to ask further, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from the stairs above.
Following the sound, he saw a slender man with three whiskers on his chin walking down from the second floor.
The man smiled and bowed to Jiang Yun, cupping his hands together: "My name is Ren Dinghan, the shopkeeper of this shop. I wonder how you address yourself"
Although Ding Han didn't give off any aura, he looked like an ordinary shopkeeper. However, as a powerful monster-tamer with a keen spiritual sense, Jiang Yun easily saw through him. He was actually a demonic cultivator of formidable Dao nature.
Ginger Cloud also politely bowed and said, "Ginger Cloud!"
"It's Daoist Ginger!" Ren Dinghan smiled. "I just heard Daoist Ginger inquiring about the statue. I happen to know a thing or two. Why don't we go upstairs and talk"
After a moment's thought, Jiang Yun nodded and replied, "Good!"
Although Ginger knew there might be a trick, he was extremely curious about the two statues. If he could find out the truth, then even if it meant taking some risks, it would be worth it.
Following behind Ren Dinghan, Jiang Yun ascended to the second floor. After they settled in, Ren Dinghan straight to the point: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, I'm being presumptuous by asking this, but why are you interested in those two statues"
"Because I have seen statues like it before!"
"Oh" Ren Dinghan's face showed surprise as he said, "These two statues were a gift from a friend of mine. And I remember my friend saying at the time that these two statues were brought back by him from his hometown."
"Speaking of this, Ren Dinghan deliberately looked up and down at Jiang Yun and said, "Could it be that Daoist Jiang and my friend come from the same place"
Ginger Cloud asked calmly, "I wonder where that friend of Master Ren comes from"
Ren Dinghan hesitated for a moment before replying, "The World of Mountains and Seas!"
Hearing these three words from Ren Dinghan's mouth, a glimmer flashed in Jiang Yun's eyes, but he still calmly said: "Where is that friend of your, Ren shopkeeper Could you let me meet him"
Ren Dinghan smiled faintly and said, “So it seems, Daoist friend is also from the Shan Hai Realm”
"Not bad!"
Ren Dinghan slapped his hands together forcefully and said, "That's quite a coincidence! My friend always misses his hometown. If he knew about Daoist Jiang's existence, meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land would surely make him very happy."
"It's a pity that my friend is not here temporarily, but I believe that after I inform him of this matter, he will definitely come as soon as possible."
"I just don't know how to contact Ginger after my friend arrives. "
Ginger had wanted to tell him that she was from the Xuanxu Sect, but thinking about how the Jiuyi Sect and the Xuanxu Sect were sworn enemies, she realized that saying it might cause unnecessary trouble. So, after a moment's thought, she said: "I don't have a fixed residence, I'm staying at an inn in town for now, and I'll be here for a few days at least, until the auction ends."
"If I have nothing to do these days, I'll come back and see you again. If your friend hasn't arrived yet, we'll talk about it later!"
Ren Dinghan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll inform my friend later."
Since the purpose of his visit had been achieved, Jiang Yun naturally didn't linger any longer. After bidding farewell to Ren Dinghan, he left on his own.
Ren Dinghan personally sent Jiang Yun out the gate. Watching Jiang Yun's receding figure, he reached out and stroked his three whiskers, muttering to himself: "The ancestor was truly prescient. He said that placing these two statues here might attract people from our hometown, and I didn't expect to actually meet one today."
"However, although this little fellow has a Flameless Lantern, he is not a demon."
He must be from the Shanhai realm, but whether he's a friend or foe remains to be seen!
"Let's not inform the ancestor for now. We'll talk about it after we confirm everything."
"If he's a friend, then he's courting death by entering the Xuanxu Sect. At that point, I might even have to help him out. But if he's an enemy, then let him fend for himself!"
On the way to the inn, Jiang Yun kept thinking about what Ren Dinghan had said.
Although Ginger Cloud had some doubts in her heart, the two statues and the unyielding puppet lamp were the best evidence.
If they were not from the world of mountains and seas, it would be impossible to create those two statues.
Moreover, the Shan Hai Realm is also a cage. The cultivators who live there will be sent to the Dao Prison once they reach the Heavenly Blessing Realm.
Since powerful figures like Yaoshén and Xuelv are imprisoned in the Dao Prison, it's not inconceivable to encounter cultivators from the Shan Hai Realm within this ancient world.
...Ginger Cloud, however, had no idea what the other party's identity was. After all, her own Flameless Puppet Lamp was obtained after killing Huo Yang Hui.
If the other party has a relationship with Hu Yang Hui, even if they are Hu Yang Hui's elders, then they are their enemies.
But now thinking about it won't help, everything has to wait until I see that person!
……
Just as Jiang Yun was returning to the guesthouse, within the auction hall of Dongming City, Elder Chen from Yaoshhenzong had already taken that bottle of Yunling Pill back to his own room.
Then, Elder Chen took out a piece of jade, crushed it, and a cloud of mist appeared before them. Within the mist, a handsome young man materialized, holding in his arms a woman who was nearly naked.
Seeing Elder Chen, the man couldn't help but show surprise on his face. But immediately, this surprise turned into anger as he said, "Elder Chen, what business do you have with me that you have to find me at this time"
Elder Chen bowed respectfully to the young man, quickly lowering his head and clearing his throat. "Young master, several years ago, you showed me a Perfect Heavenly Essence Pill with a strange aura. Do you remember this"
"Tianjing Dan" The young man frowned slightly, pondered for a moment before nodding. "Of course I remember, it's just that this matter has been so long ago, why are you thinking about it now"
Elder Chen raised the jade bottle in his hand and said, "Because, I just received a hundred Yúnlíng Dàn. The aura contained within them is exactly the same as that of the Tiānjīng Dàn!"
"If my guess is correct, these two kinds of pills should have been refined by the same person!"
