Chapter 367: Entering the Valley
After making the introductions, the shop manager took his leave. "Daoist Kong is very familiar with Endless Valley. If you have any requests, feel free to ask him. I won’t disturb you three any further."
The three of them stepped into the wooden hut one after another.
Inside the room, there was no one else.
Kong Xin got straight to the point, skipping any idle chatter. "Please, have a seat. Earlier, the senior sent me a message asking if I knew of a place where Huanglong Grass grows. So, you two plan to enter the valley to collect Huanglong Grass? Do you have any other purposes?"
Wandering Man let out a hum and asked in return, "Daoist Kong, do you truly know where Huanglong Grass grows?"
Kong Xin admitted without hesitation, "That's right. I do know of a place where Huanglong Grass grows."
"However, I must warn you in advance, the place is not safe. It was already quite dangerous before, but after the recent beast tide, a flock of Tiger-Winged Eagles suddenly appeared and made a nearby rocky hill their nest."
"Among them are more than a dozen beasts in the Demonic Spirit Realm. They are extremely territorial and restless. What makes them even more troublesome is their demonic eyes, which can see through invisibility. Ordinary immortal cultivators would find it difficult to hide from them."
"Attempting to harvest Huanglong Grass means running the risk of being discovered by these creatures."
"I make a living through hard work and have no intention of throwing my life away. I can only lead you to a safe area within the depths of Endless Valley. From there, you'll have to proceed on your own. If you’re unwilling, I won’t force you."
"You may ask around—every other guide follows the same approach."
