After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 469 Departure Flowers

"A hundred miles away from Baihua City, there exists a majestic giant snow mountain called 'Goddess Peak'. Legend has it that in the ancient wilderness, the Goddess of Baihua was the 'mountain god' of Goddess Peak."

Back then, Goddess Peak was a vibrant and blessed land, covered with towering trees and countless exotic flowers and herbs. It was even said to be one of the most vibrant treasure lands in the entire Xingchuan region.

But for some unknown reason, the Hundred Flowers Saintess suddenly disappeared from Goddess Peak one day, and after the Hundred Flowers Saintess disappeared, the entire Goddess Peak seemed to have truly lost its 'divine protection'.

Its temperature dropped lower and lower, and the environment became increasingly harsh. The people who originally lived at the foot of the mountain had to move to Baihua City, a hundred miles away. As time went by, Goddess Peak was completely transformed into a giant snow mountain.

However, the meltwater from the ice and snow still benefits Hundred Flowers City, making it a beautiful place where hundreds of flowers bloom.

To commemorate this goddess, a huge white jade statue of the goddess was erected on 'Flower Goddess Mountain' in the center of the city of Hundred Flowers City, and 'her' gaze is always fixed on that old place sealed by ice and snow.

In addition, the selection of the Maiden of a Hundred Flowers at the Hundred Flowers Festival to serve the Goddess of a Hundred Flowers is also a prayer that the Goddess of a Hundred Flowers can one day return to Goddess Peak and lead the people of Hundred Flowers City back to their homeland...

Will this legend satisfy your curiosity, young friend?

After Liang Yu finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"Wow! Uncle Liang, you know so much about Baihua City!" Lin Qiwen's eyes were full of respect for the middle-aged man.

"Thank you for your explanation, senior. I never imagined that Hundred Flowers City would have such a hidden history," Shen Xu said in gratitude.

"I've only heard this secondhand; it's all common knowledge. Young friend Shen will probably find out soon after he arrives in Hundred Flowers City." Liang Yu's attitude was very amiable.

"I have much higher expectations for Hundred Flowers City now," Shen Xu said with a smile.

“Me too! Actually, I’ve wanted to go for a long time, but my uncles and elders always say I’m not an adult yet,” Lin Qiwen complained.

“It’s definitely better to go to those kinds of places when you’re an adult,” Shen Xu smiled.

"Alright! Judging by the time, the teleportation array to the Crimson Origin Sect should be almost fully charged, so we should set off now."

If we're lucky, we should arrive in Hundred Flowers City tonight.

“That would be wonderful. I’d love to see what Hundred Flowers City looks like at night,” Shen Xu said with a smile.

"The City of a Hundred Flowers during the Hundred Flowers Festival will likely not disappoint you, young friend Shen, no matter the time," Liang Yu replied calmly.

The area around the teleportation array leading to the Crimson Origin Sect was bustling with activity.

Shen Xu listened quietly to their discussion and realized that a large portion of the people going to the Crimson Origin Sect at this time were there for the Hundred Flowers Festival.

This shows how popular the Hundred Flowers Festival was, attracting almost everyone in the Four Directions Sword Alliance. Although it couldn't compare to the Four Directions Auction six months ago, the number of visitors was still quite similar.

With such a large customer base, he couldn't even imagine how many Nourishing Essence Pills Hundred Flowers City could earn during the Hundred Flowers Festival.

However, most of the people who go to Hundred Flowers City are wealthy people at or below the Yuan Dan realm, and most of the powerful beings at the Transcendent Realm probably won't join in the fun.

As the teleportation array flashed, Shen Xu keenly sensed something unusual about it this time.

However, before he could examine it carefully, he found himself on another teleportation array.

"This is Chiyuan City?"

Shen Xu followed Liang Yu down the teleportation array and looked around at the scenery and architecture of the Crimson Origin Sect amidst the crowd.

The overall color scheme of the Chiyuan Sect is roughly black and red, but its overall style is not much different from that of the Sword Alliance.

From afar, a massive black and red peak is hidden in the clouds and mist, as if it were stained with blood. If you look at it for a long time, you will feel a strong sense of oppression coming from the mountain.

Zuo Chen's choice of the sword was only aimed at the Red Jade Society of the Crimson Origin Sect. Besides helping Qing Yun obtain a title, it should also be a preparation for this Hundred Flowers Festival.

"That is Red Jade Mountain! The location of the Crimson Origin Sect."

Perhaps it's because Chiyuan City is too close to the Chiyuan Sect, but based on my first impression, I felt it could be compared to Tianjian Mountain.

However, after looking at it for a while, you can see the difference between it and Tianjian Mountain. Tianjian Mountain is ethereal and intangible, and ordinary people cannot come into contact with it at all.

Red Jade Mountain, on the other hand, is more imposing. Anyone who enters Chiyuan City will see this black and red giant peak at first glance.

"However, neither of them are forces that we independent cultivators can reach," Liang Yu sighed beside him.

"Senior, there's no need to belittle yourself. Powerful forces have their advantages, and independent cultivators have their freedom. As long as you are single-minded in pursuing the Dao, anywhere is a smooth path," Shen Xu comforted him.

"It's good to be young!" Liang Yu smiled at Shen Xu.

"Uncle Liang, let's hurry up and buy tickets. Judging from the situation, there should be a lot of people going to Baihua City today," Lin Qiwen suggested anxiously.

"Indeed! Now is not the time for idle chatter."

"I don't know if you trust me, young friend Shen, but I'm quite familiar with this place, so I can buy you a ticket," Liang Yu said.

"I naturally trust you, senior. May I ask how many Nourishing Yuan Pills are needed to go to Hundred Flowers City?"

"There are three ways to get to Hundred Flowers City: one is by giant flying sword, the other is by flying cloud boat, and the third is by teleportation array. I wonder which one young friend Shen would like to choose?"

"How do you plan to go, senior?"

“Teleportation arrays are too expensive, and flying boats are too slow. Qiwen and I plan to take a giant flying sword to Hundred Flowers City. Normally, it costs about 300 Nourishing Yuan Pills per person, but now that it’s a special time, it may rise to 500 Nourishing Yuan Pills.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Xu hesitated. The flying light contained the route of the entire Four Directions Sword Alliance. If it weren't for Liang Yu and the other person, he could have gone to Hundred Flowers City on his own.

However, he did want to try riding a giant flying sword.

“Since I have chosen to travel with you, I will naturally stay with you.” Shen Xu took out a silver pill note from his pocket and handed it to Liang Yu.

When traveling, one should not flaunt one's wealth. At such a young age, possessing a storage ring would easily attract the covetous eyes of others.

Although the person who robbed him over a storage ring might not be his match, he didn't want to get into trouble for no reason.

"Young friend Shen is really... to trust me, a stranger I've only known for half a day, so much," Liang Yu exclaimed.

"Qiwen, you and Shen Xiaoyou find a spot here and wait for me. I'll be back soon."

“Okay, Uncle Liang,” Lin Qiwen replied with a smile.

After Liang Yu left, Lin Qiwen comforted him, saying, "Uncle Liang is a very good person, you could even call him a gentleman. He definitely won't take your money, Brother Shen."

"Really? Then I've really met two good people!"

"Of course! Who in Xiumu City doesn't know the reputation of our Giant Axe Gang?" Lin Qiwen puffed out his chest proudly.

"Such a simple and unpretentious gang name," Shen Xu thought to himself.

Do you have a lot of good timber there?

"How did you know?" Lin Qiwen asked, looking shocked.

"It's a secret!" Shen Xu smiled.
