32: Chapter 32 This young master's sincerity moved me

"Done!"

Ji Taichang clapped his hands and pulled out a Storage Ring, storing the corpse of the Multicolored Giant Tiger inside. This was specifically for storing Yao Beast corpses, which he planned to sell in bulk after leaving.

"By the way, do you know where its lair is? Are there any Heaven And Earth Treasures inside?"

Ji Taichang turned back to look at the frightened Cultivators.

Hearing Ji Taichang's question, the Cultivators finally snapped out of their shock.

"This brave warrior!"

"Please, you must join our team!"

The young man in luxurious brocade robes scrambled up from the ground with an excited expression, staring intently at Ji Taichang. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Qin Wenhua, the Seventh Young Master of the Lanzhou Princes Mansion. My father is the Prince of Lanzhou!"

"I see that you are alone, brave warrior. Why not join my team? I, Qin, will surely reward you handsomely!"

To take a blow from a Multicolored Giant Tiger unscathed and then kill a seventh-level Foundation Establishment Stage Multicolored Giant Tiger with a single sword strike—what a terrifying feat!

Qin Wenhua speculated that Ji Taichang's cultivation was at least at the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, perhaps even the ninth!

To Cultivate to such a Realm before the age of thirty was rare even within the Lanzhou Princes Mansion!

Thus, Qin Wenhua immediately felt a desire to recruit such talent, wanting to win over Ji Taichang for his own use!

"The Seventh Young Master of the Lanzhou Princes Mansion?"

Ji Taichang's heart stirred upon hearing this!

He hadn't expected the person before him to have such a status.

Qin Wenhua took a Storage Ring from his robes and pressed it into Ji Taichang's hand. "This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it, brave warrior!"

Ji Taichang scanned it with his Divine Sense; there were a full hundred thousand Spirit Stones inside!

"This Young Master's sincerity has moved me."

A smile appeared on Ji Taichang's face as he tucked the Storage Ring into his robes.

"However... I'm still missing a handy weapon, ahem..."

Hearing this, Qin Wenhua hurriedly handed his sword to Ji Taichang. "This is my personal sword, named the Quick Sword. It is extremely agile and fast, a High Grade Magical Artifact. If you don't mind it, please accept it!"

To win over Ji Taichang, Qin Wenhua was going all out!

"I have felt Young Master Qin's sincerity."

Ji Taichang took the Quick Sword, a smile on his face. "In that case, I shall travel together with Young Master Qin."

In truth, Ji Taichang didn't actually lack a weapon.

With his cultivation, he didn't need a weapon at all to deal with the Yao Beasts in the Cangshan Secret Realm.

But this was the personal sword of the Seventh Young Master of the Lanzhou Princes Mansion!

It was an excellent token. If Ji Taichang ever needed help from the Lanzhou Princes Mansion in the future, this sword would play a crucial role!

"Hahaha... Welcome, brave warrior!"

Hearing this, Qin Wenhua's face immediately blossomed into a beaming smile!

The other Cultivators also showed expressions of pleasant surprise and excitement!

Ji Taichang's terrifying combat power was fresh in their minds. With such a powerhouse joining the team, they could practically walk unchallenged in the Cangshan Secret Realm!

Qin Wenhua asked, "By the way, may I ask your honorable name and which Sect you come from?"

Ji Taichang casually said, "Yang Dingtian, a mere Loose Cultivator, not worth mentioning."

"Yang Dingtian?"

Qin Wenhua blinked in confusion.

In his view, a powerhouse like Ji Taichang must be a Prodigy famous throughout Lanzhou, hailing from some powerful Sect or Family.

But no matter how hard he racked his brain, Qin Wenhua had never heard the name Yang Dingtian.

As for being a Loose Cultivator... even more impossible!

Only Sect forces with Golden Core Stage experts backing them were qualified to enter the Cangshan Secret Realm. How could a Loose Cultivator appear here?

Qin Wenhua simply assumed Ji Taichang didn't want to reveal his true identity.

After all, it was their first meeting, so Qin Wenhua didn't pry too deeply to avoid displeasing Ji Taichang.

Qin Wenhua gathered the bodies and belongings of his three fallen subordinates.

Afterward...

He led Ji Taichang to the Multicolored Giant Tiger's lair, located in a spacious cave deep within the valley. They actually managed to dig up several stalks of second-grade Spirit Medicine, tiger煞 vine.

Qin Wenhua said, "Young Master Yang killed this Yao Beast, so these tiger煞 vines belong to you."

Knowing Qin Wenhua was someone who didn't lack money, Ji Taichang didn't stand on ceremony and put the tiger煞 vines into his Storage Ring.

Sister Yang Yao, being an Alchemist, would likely need these Spirit Medicines.

"Young Master Yang, I plan to go to this place next. However, the Yin Qi there is very heavy. Every time the Cangshan Secret Realm opens, many Yin-fiend Ghosts and creatures are spawned there. It's very dangerous..."

Qin Wenhua took out a map and pointed to a red-circled area not far from their current location.

Seeing this, Ji Taichang's eyes widened slightly.

Good heavens, it was actually a complete map of the Cangshan Secret Realm!

Moreover, it was covered in dense markings and annotations, indicating which areas were treasure lands rich in Spiritual Qi, what Heaven And Earth Treasures might be nurtured there, and which Yao Beasts might appear...

While Disciples from other Sects were still wandering aimlessly, the people from the Lanzhou Princes Mansion had already accurately grasped the locations of the Heaven And Earth Treasures in the Cangshan Secret Realm!

The place Qin Wenhua circled had a note saying that a fourth-grade Yin-attribute Heaven And Earth Treasure had been found there before!

Though it had only been found once, it was still astounding!

Fourth-grade corresponded to the Nascent Soul Stage!

This meant that fourth-grade Heaven And Earth Treasures were of great use even to Nascent Soul Stage experts and could be used to refine extremely precious and rare fourth-grade Medicinal Pills!

"Let's go!"

Ji Taichang waved his hand immediately, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

If he could get a fourth-grade Spirit Medicine to give to Yang Yao, he might be able to win her over completely!

"Alright! We'll be counting on you then, Young Master Yang!"

Hearing this, Qin Wenhua also smiled!

If Ji Taichang hadn't joined the team, he wouldn't have dared to venture to that place.

Two quarters of an hour later, the group arrived at their destination.

This was a forest perpetually shrouded in miasma and mist. It was dim, and an indescribable chill blew toward them, making Qin Wenhua and the others shiver instinctively!

Rotting bones were everywhere in the forest, mostly belonging to Yao Beasts, but a few were from the Human Race.

They were left behind by unfortunate souls who had wandered here by mistake during previous openings of the Cangshan Secret Realm.
