wer of the stars. It couldn't be put into a mustard seed bag, but Qin Sang successfully stored it inside his Qianjun ring.The cloud traveler speculated that this bone flute might be a fragment of some...Entering the bustling market, Yun Youzi strolled back and forth, finally stopping before a shop called 'Tianfeng Lou'. He raised his foot and stepped inside.
The shop was a humble, single-story concrete stone house. It was named "building," which was a bit comical considering its size. The owner, a sprightly old man, sat inside, fiddling with a piece of arcane weaponry. His aura was remarkably subtle.
Qin Sang disguised himself as someone just entering the Foundation Establishment stage, and followed Yun Youzi into the building. He found that he couldn't see through this person's depth either, and his heart sank in awe.
He knew these shops were all backed by powerful forces, some even directly belonging to major sects. This person residing in Wuyang Valley, regardless of their identity or strength, must definitely not be ordinary.
"Fellow Daoist, you are too courteous. This old Daoist wishes to purchase a map of the first two layers of Wúyá Gully. I wonder if your shop has one for sale"
The Cloud Wanderer bowed.
Although the second layer is not as prone to change as the first, for the sake of safety, it's best to buy a map for confirmation, just in case.

The shopkeeper put down what he was doing, saw Qin Sang and the other's cultivation levels, and immediately stood up with a smile, hurriedly stepping forward, "Two Daoist friends, honored guests! Our humble shop flourishes because of you! Please come in!"
The three sat down. The shopkeeper poured tea while saying, "Fellow Daoist, you've come to the right place. My humble shop does indeed sell maps, divided into three grades. They differ slightly in focus and level of detail. Which grade are you interested in"
The Cloud Wanderer thought for a moment and said, "Since we're both new here, we want to go to Wuyagu Valley to collect spirit herbs. A more detailed map would be best..."
The shopkeeper's smile deepened, stroking his long beard and saying: "The most detailed one is naturally the best batch, but the price…"
The Cloud Wanderer is wealthy and generous, "As long as the map is detailed enough, price is no object!"
After paying the spirit stones, the shopkeeper took out a jade slip. Both Yun Youzi and Qin Sang frowned after taking a look at it.
Qin Sang glared at him with displeasure and asked, "Friend Daoist, are you mocking us This map has several well-marked routes in the front part. But as it goes to the back, it becomes a chaotic mess. There are barely any markings for the first layer's territory. Dare you call this the best map"
The shop owner seemed unfazed by Qin Sang's reaction and immediately said, "Friend Daoist, you may not know that the Wuyagou Valley is constantly changing, making it impossible to have a map that meets your requirements. The beast tide in the Wuyagou Valley just subsided recently. These routes were explored with great effort and manpower by several trading guilds, including us. As long as there are no major accidents along these routes, you will be guaranteed safety."
Qin Sang let out a snort, feigning indignation: "What use is safety These routes don't even reach half the first level, and there's hardly anything produced along the way. Not even a single mention of Huanglong Grass. What use are they to us Are we going in for a sightseeing tour and then coming out…"
Yún Yóu Zi tugged at Qin Sang, who feigned a bashful expression but still looked indignant.
"Are the two Taoist friends going to collect Huanglong Grass"
The shopkeeper's face lit up with understanding as he explained himself repeatedly.
"It seems that the two Daoist friends are indeed visiting Wuya Valley for the first time…"
“To be frank with you, there are indeed some places in the Wuyu Valley where Huanglong Grass grows, but they are all located in several dangerous areas of the first layer of the valley floor.”
> If a friend had come here some time ago, there would have been a few places that had been explored.

“But, after the last Beast Tide, Wuya Valley underwent earth-shaking changes. It was perfectly normal for places that were once safe to be occupied by beast hordes or become demon lairs. Naturally, the medicinal herbs inside would also have been devoured or destroyed by those beasts.
“I wouldn’t dare to scribble on the map, lest I harm both of you fellow cultivators.”
"If you insist, I can give you a map marked with those locations. You two can explore them yourselves."
> Besides that, there is another way...
The shopkeeper's voice suddenly faltered and fell silent.
The Cloud Traveler pressed his palm against the table, and in a low voice said, “If Daoist friend can find a way to solve the trouble we both face, rewards will be no problem.”
Let me know if you have other text to translate!
Upon receiving the consent, the shop keeper smiled contentedly, his body leaning forward slightly. "The two Daoist friends can find a guide to lead you in... If the Daoist friends trust me, I can recommend one for you."
"Guide"
The cloud traveler's face showed hesitation, "Could there be anyone who knows the Valley of Infinity better than you"
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "If you want to know the most about Wuyagu Valley, it's not us who understand it best, but those outlaws who roam around in Wuyagu Valley."
Let me know if you'd like to translate more content!
"As soon as the beast tide ended, they rushed into the valley without hesitation, ignoring the danger. They were the first to explore the depths of Wuyagu."
They are certainly not willing to sell us the map easily, and the valley is constantly changing; only they know the latest developments.

"In fact, fellow cultivator, if you walk around the market more or go to Wuya Valley beforehand, you can also easily encounter people who claim to be guides. However, these people are mostly of mixed quality and cannot be trusted."
"As the manager of Tianfeng Tower, I assure you that anyone I recommend is trustworthy, with my reputation on the line."
Yun Youzi and Qin Sang looked at each other.
They knew the shopkeeper wasn't lying. They came to Tianfeng Building because they wanted a safe and reliable place, so they wouldn't waste time dealing with con artists.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
A shopkeeper's recommendation may not always be reliable, but shopkeepers generally consider the reputation of Tianfenglou when making recommendations and usually wouldn't act recklessly.
They feigned deliberation for a while, and then Yun Youzi spoke, "In that case, we would trouble the Daoist friend to make an introduction. We will meet with the guide first and then make a decision."
The shopkeeper didn't hesitate. He immediately took out a few sound transmission talismans and sent them out.
Shortly after, a sound transmission talisman flew back into the shop. The shopkeeper took it and looked at it, his face beaming with joy. "Just in time, a guide has organized some people and is about to set off. This person knows a place where yellow jade grass grows and is willing to lead the way. If you are interested, I will take you there right away, so that you can meet and discuss further details."
Upon hearing this, Yun Youzi and Qin Sang immediately stood up.
"Greetings, esteemed friends!" Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The cashier led the way, all the way to a wooden hut at the back of the mountain ridge. "This is it..."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper struck out with a surge of spiritual energy, triggering the wooden house's prohibition.
‘Squeak!’

The door was pushed open from inside, and a young man in his early thirties walked out.

The youth's cultivation was unrestrained, akin to a wandering cultivator.
For some unknown reason, despite being a cultivator, his face was as pale as death, devoid of any blood color. His body was also thin and wiry, giving off an incredibly weak impression, like a commoner whose vital energy had completely depleted, which was quite surprising.
"Greetings, senior!"
The young man paid his respects to the shopkeeper, then shifted his gaze and sized up Yun Youzi and Qin Sang. "Greetings, fellow Daoists," he said.
