"Wutong City?" Sun Jing's expression changed immediately upon hearing Xiao Ya's words.
Aotian was also slightly surprised, seemingly taken aback by the mention of Wutong City.
"Father, Senior Sun, what happened?" Aotian quickly noticed the change in their expressions and asked aloud.
Aotian pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Ya, I have heard a little about Wutong City. It is said that countless Phoenix Trees are planted there, but I cannot verify if the Phoenix Trees are real or not."
"Indeed, Wutong City can be considered the strangest city within Fengyun Nation. There are no martial artists living in this city, only countless Phoenix Trees," Sun Jing added.
Upon hearing this, Aotian's expression changed slightly, as he sensed something unusual about Wutong City. He asked, "Senior Sun, then the Phoenix Trees in Wutong City must be Fake Phoenix Trees, right?"
"Of course. If the Phoenix Trees in Wutong City were True Wutong Wood, they would have long been harvested by those martial artists," Sun Jing replied lightly.
"In that case, Uncle Xiao Ya, you might as well buy a piece of Phoenix Tree in Ning City. I have a feeling that Wutong City is quite strange; it's better not to set foot there easily," Aotian said with concern.
"No way!"
As soon as Aotian finished speaking, both Xiao Ya and Sun Jing responded simultaneously.
"Aotian, since I promised the client to retrieve the Phoenix Tree from Wutong City, I cannot go back on my word. Otherwise, how can I establish myself in the Adventure Team?!" Xiao Ya said firmly.
Aotian sighed inwardly; he knew Uncle Xiao Ya's character. Hearing Uncle Xiao Ya say this made Aotian realize that it would be quite impossible to persuade him to give up.
Of course, this did not mean that Aotian was untrustworthy. His main concern was for Xiao Ya's safety; he did not want Xiao Ya to take unnecessary risks.
"Aotian, what Uncle Xiaoya said is not wrong. Moreover, the Phoenix Tree and the Fake Phoenix Tree in Wutong City are indeed different. If we give the Fake Phoenix Tree to that client, it will probably be recognized at a glance," Sun Jing sighed and said.
Aotian was slightly taken aback, then looked at Sun Jing with confusion.
Sun Jing pondered for a moment and said, "The Phoenix Tree in Wutong City is quite peculiar. There is a scorching energy within that Phoenix Tree, but this energy is different from Phoenix Fire Power. One could say that the Phoenix Tree in Wutong City lies somewhere between True Wutong Wood and Fake Phoenix Tree."
Aotian listened half-understanding, while Xiao Ya became increasingly confused. Wasn't it said that there were only true and fake varieties of Wutong? Then what was going on with the Wutong in Wutong City?
Seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Sun Jing spoke with a tone of helplessness: "I’m not very clear on the specifics either. To truly understand what the Phoenix Tree in Wutong City is about, one must see it in person."
After hearing this, Aotian nodded and said to Xiao Ya, "Uncle Xiaoya, why don't you rest for the night? Tomorrow morning, I will go with you to Wutong City."
Just as Xiao Ya was about to speak, Sun Jing interjected: "Aotian, there's no rush to go to Wutong City; we need to prepare first."
"Prepare for what?" Aotian asked, looking at Sun Jing in confusion.
"Wutong City is in the western part of Fengyun Nation and is also under the jurisdiction of the Qin Family. The Qin Family has always regarded the Phoenix Tree in Wutong City as their own and will not easily allow others to step foot there. If you go there so openly, you will definitely be killed by the Qin Family without a trace," Sun Jing said seriously.
Aotian's brows twitched sharply as he thought: That was close!
He knew a bit about the Qin Family. It was said that they were one of the top families in the western part of Fengyun Nation. Within the family, there were certainly martial artists at the late stage of Human Spirit Realm.
At this moment, with Aotian's strength, facing a late-stage warrior from the Human Spirit Realm would likely result in more losses than victories.
Fortunately, Sun Jing had reminded him; otherwise, the consequences could have been extremely serious.
However, an even greater challenge lay before Aotian. Since the Qin Family valued Wutong City so highly, how could he obtain the Phoenix Tree from Wutong City?
Aotian pinched his brow, feeling a sudden sense of helplessness. Ultimately, it was still due to his insufficient strength. If he were terrifyingly powerful at this moment, what would he have to fear from the so-called Qin Family?
Thinking this way, Aotian's desire for power grew increasingly urgent.
"Aotian, let me handle this task myself. You don't need to wade through this murky water with me," Xiao Ya suddenly said seriously to Aotian.
Aotian felt deeply moved upon hearing this. He knew that Xiao Ya was worried about his safety and wanted him to avoid danger.
However, being someone who valued loyalty and friendship, Aotian would certainly not agree to Xiao Ya's request. He replied:
"Uncle Xiaoya, no matter what dragon's lair or tiger's den it is, I Aotian will accompany you!"
"And me! Wherever the boss goes, I go too. Don't think you can leave me behind!" Niu Geng suddenly threw a chicken bone out the window and then said solemnly.
"Xiao Ya has helped my family through many crises. Now that Xiao Ya is in trouble, I Aotian naturally cannot stand by!" Aotian said with a serious expression.
"Hey, hey, hey, everyone doesn't need to be like this. It's as if we're certain to die," Sun Jing said with a hint of friendly sarcasm upon seeing their expressions.
Seeing Sun Jing's confident demeanor, Aotian's eyes lit up, and excitement was hard to conceal on his face as he said to Sun Jing:
"Senior Sun, do you have a way to deal with the Qin Family?"
Upon hearing Aotian's words, everyone else in the room looked at Sun Jing with eager anticipation.
Sun Jing smiled and said, "Hehe, my Sun Family and Qin Family are sworn enemies. If I speak out against the Qin Family, the Sun Family will definitely send troops to assist."
Upon hearing this, Aotian's spirit lifted, and the excitement on his face grew even more intense.
While in the Azure Cloud Sect's territory, Aotian had already learned that Sun Jing was from the Sun Family. He also knew some information about the Sun Family.
It is said that the Sun Family is one of the top families in the western part of Fengyun Nation, with many experts among them. It seems that the strength of the Sun Family is comparable to that of the Qin Family. Otherwise, how could the Sun Family become sworn enemies with the Qin Family?
"Since that's the case, I will rely on Senior Sun!" Aotian said sincerely as he cupped his hands toward Sun Jing.
Sun Jing nodded with a smile and said, "Rest assured, I will return to the Sun Family to explain this matter. I believe news will come soon."
With that, Sun Jing strode out of the room.
After Sun Jing left, Xiao Ya turned to Aotian and asked, "Aotian, can we really trust this Sun Jing?"
Aotian smiled and replied, "Don't worry. Right now, Senior Sun and I are on the same side; he won't do anything to undermine our efforts."
Indeed, both Sun Jing and Aotian were involved in eliminating Qingyun Sect High-Ranking Officials. At this moment, they shared both glory and misfortune; naturally, Sun Jing had no reason to act against Aotian.
Aotian nodded in agreement.
"The Sun Family is also a top power in the western part of the Fengyun Nation, not weaker than the Qin Family. The hatred between these two has indeed existed for a long time; I have heard about it as well."
Xiao Ya breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."
"Uncle Xiaoya, why don't you stay at Aojia for now? Once we receive news from Senior Sun, we can head to Wutong City together," Aotian suggested.
Xiao Ya understood the seriousness of the situation and nodded in agreement without further hesitation.
Afterward, the group chatted about some trivial matters before each returned to their rooms to rest.
In his room, Aotian sat cross-legged on the bed, his hands forming various hand seals. A faint devouring force spread from his body, absorbing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Profound Qi into Aotian's body.
Once the Heaven and Earth Profound Qi entered Aotian's body, it circulated along the path of the Dragon God Transformation Technique within his meridians, eventually flowing into the Golden Energy Sphere in Aotian's Dantian.
With each influx of Heaven and Earth Profound Qi, the Golden Energy Sphere became increasingly radiant.
Aotian had a premonition that he was not far from breaking through to the Innate Nine Levels. Perhaps, he only needed an opportunity to make that breakthrough.
Of course, the Heaven Devouring Seal played a significant role in this process. After all, the Heaven Devouring Seal helped Aotian absorb the surrounding Heaven and Earth Profound Qi more quickly.
The more Aotian practiced the Dragon God Transformation Technique, the more he felt its immense power. He had a sense that in the near future, the Dragon God Transformation Technique would reveal even more terrifying capabilities. Moreover, that day would not be too far away.
It must be said that Aotian's intuition was very accurate. At this moment, Aotian had only just begun to grasp the Dragon God Transformation Technique. The peculiarities of this technique had yet to be fully revealed.
Naturally, as Aotian's strength increased, there would come a day when he would discover the wonders of this technique.
In the latter half of the night, Aotian began to refine his physical body. By absorbing Heaven and Earth Profound Qi, he allowed it to continuously nourish his physical form, leading to a qualitative leap in his body's strength.
Aotian's physical body is cultivated according to the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon Body, which means his physical strength far exceeds that of other martial artists at the same level.
Of course, this is relative. If Aotian cannot achieve a breakthrough in the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon Body, his physical power will remain stagnant at this stage. In that case, it would undoubtedly be tragic.
At this moment, Aotian's body has already reached the critical point for breaking through to the second transformation of the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon Body, just a step away from success.
However, whenever Aotian attempts to break through, a sense of emptiness arises from deep within his body, as if something is missing.
This feeling perplexes Aotian, and he also realizes that the breakthrough in the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon Body seems to be more peculiar than that of the Dragon God Transformation Technique.
Nevertheless, during these days, Aotian has carefully studied the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon Body and has vaguely understood what energy is lacking.
This time, Aotian plans to go to Wutong City, partly to search for this energy.
In addition, there is also his Soul Path cultivation. Aotian does not worry much about his Soul Path cultivation since he has received the inheritance from the Soul Elder. The inheritance from the Soul Elder contains valuable experiences for breaking through in the Soul Path.
As long as Aotian has sufficient energy for a breakthrough and integrates the experiences from the Soul Elder, then breaking through in Soul Path cultivation will naturally come easily...
