Chapter 394 A Familiar Man
"To obtain a pass, a certain number of Star Stones are required."
After hearing this, Su Yang's lips curled into a slight smile.
She simply looked at Fan Xiaode quietly without saying a word.
Fan Xiaode felt uncomfortable under Su Yang's gaze.
He sighed softly, looking at Su Yang with a resentful gaze.
“Fairy, I happen to have some Star Stones in my Star Bag. Please give me your pass.”
Seeing Fan Xiaode say this, Su Yang smiled with satisfaction.
"Hehe, how could I possibly accept that?"
"It's nothing. It's my honor to serve the fairy."
Fan Xiaode appeared nonchalant on the surface, but his heart was bleeding.
A single pass costs a thousand Star Stones!
It would take him a long time to save up a thousand Star Stones!
But now he's spending his thousand Star Stones to get a pass for this woman!
It hurts! It really hurts!
Judging from the woman's eyes, she wanted me to get her a pass.
If I pretend I don't know, I might get a beating.
He, Fan Xiaode, is really having a tough time today.
Meanwhile, Su Yang, the instigator, was in a great mood.
She pretended not to notice Fan Xiaode's worried expression and continued to ask:
"Fan Xiaode, isn't it forbidden to use spiritual energy or other magical powers on Star Luo Island? What's that storage bag you just took out?"
Fan Xiaode pursed his lips and took out his small blue cloth bag.
"Fairy, this storage bag was specially crafted by Star Luo Island and can be used with the power of stars."
Su Yang nodded, understanding dawning on her.
Fan Xiaode introduced so much to her, and it all revolved around the power of the stars.
The power of stars has many uses. Although it cannot be directly cultivated or used to perform various spells like spiritual energy or demonic energy.
However, cultivators can use the power of stars to refine their bodies, indirectly storing the power of stars within their bodies to further enhance their physical strength.
Moreover, the power of stars can also be used to forge weapons.
For example, Su Yang wanted to fuse the power of stars and the yin power of the moon into her natal magic weapon.
On Star Luo Island, body refinement is the mainstream practice.
Su Yang possesses the power of ten thousand poisons from the Ten Thousand Poisons Spirit Body, along with the Silver Soul Insect and the ability to mobilize a small amount of Sun God Fire and Nanming Li Fire.
She might not be able to do whatever she wants on Xingluo Island, but she should be able to protect herself to a certain extent.
But with so many opportunities to refine her body on Star Luo Island, she naturally wanted to seize them.
Su Yang will not let go of any opportunity to improve her strength.
Immediately afterwards, Su Yang told Xiao Hei to speed up their journey.
Finally, before dawn, she saw the oasis.
"Fairy, we've arrived at Naihe City!"
Looking down at the vast, lush oasis, the rich life force lingered in the air for a long time.
A wide, clear river flows through the area, and along its banks stand buildings of various shapes and sizes.
Centered around this river, a city came into Su Yang's view.
Outside this city, a massive protective barrier encloses it, preventing even a wisp of wind or sand from entering.
Su Yang carefully observed the enormous formation, a deep interest gleaming in her eyes.
"This array barrier is quite unique!"
This array pattern distribution, this order...
It's completely different from the ordinary formations that Su Yang knows!
"No wonder it's an array or barrier set up by a powerful being from the underworld; it's truly peculiar..."
Just then, a series of rapid hoofbeats came from behind Su Yang and Fan Xiaode.
Su Yang suddenly felt something and looked back.
Through the sand and smoke, Su Yang could vaguely see three blurry figures.
It was a camel, and on its back was a frail man in blue.
Beside the camel was a middle-aged monk pacing anxiously.
The middle-aged cultivator looked at the man in blue robes carried on the camel's back with a worried expression.
"Junior brother, how are you?"
"Senior brother...I..."
Before he could finish speaking, he instantly lost consciousness.
The middle-aged cultivator became even more anxious upon seeing this.
"Junior brother, hang in there a little longer, we'll be at Naihe City soon!"
Then, ignoring Su Yang and Fan Xiaode ahead, the middle-aged cultivator patted the wolf beast carrying the man in blue beside him and sped towards Naihe City ahead.
Su Yang paused, a sudden sense of familiarity rising in her heart.
By the time she came to her senses, the two men and the camel had already gone far away.
"Fairy? Fairy? What's wrong with you?"
Fan Xiaode scratched the back of his head in confusion.
Su Yang shook her head. She thought of the unconscious man in blue, pursed her lips, and became thoughtful.
She felt a sense of familiarity towards the unconscious man in blue...
"It's alright, let's go! The sun is about to rise, let's hurry and get to Naihe City."
Su Yang squatted down and gently patted Xiao Hei's head.
Then, Xiao Hei affectionately rubbed against Su Yang's palm, flicked its tail in a very good mood, and quickly crawled towards Naihe City.
At this moment, Fan Xiaode, whose mouth was full of sand, was speechless.
He hates snakes now!
Soon after, Su Yang and Fan Xiaode arrived at the gate of Naihe City.
Su Yang glanced at the Naihe City Gate in front of her.
The city gate was enormous, its entire surface translucent and emerald green, as if it were crafted from a flawless piece of jade.
But Su Yang did not believe that it was actually made of jade.
The chill emanating from the city gate almost engulfed Su Yang entirely.
Su Yang's eyes flickered, and a serious look appeared between her brows.
She actually sensed another power inside the city gate.
This power is like the 'necromantic energy' emanating from the spiritual field of Manjusaka and Mandarava flowers in the space.
Fan Xiaode was only put down by Xiao Hei at Su Yang's prompting.
Then, Xiao Hei's body gradually shrank, transforming into a small black snake that coiled around Su Yang's wrist.
He brushed the faint sand off his clothes, seemingly noticing the curiosity in Su Yang's eyes, and introduced himself:
“Fairy, the materials used to build this city gate are high-grade materials from the underworld. They emit a faint trace of underworld energy, although this little bit of underworld energy is harmless.”
"But we're not ghost cultivators. If we absorb the nether energy, something unexpected might happen. We'd better not approach this city gate lightly..."
"When we enter the city later, let's try to avoid this city gate, otherwise who knows what might happen..."
"Let's go, fairy, let's go into the city first and get you a pass."
After Fan Xiaode finished speaking, he gestured to Su Yang to follow him.
Su Yang nodded slightly, then followed Fan Xiaode to the guards stationed in front of the gate of Naihe City.
Su Yang needs to go to the Underworld within the City of Helplessness to obtain a pass.
Without a pass, one can only pay the guards ten Star Stones to obtain a certificate of stay in the city that is only valid for three days.
