"Elder Hong, don't worry. I understand." Wei Zhao nodded. If he wanted to obtain the Life-Aspect Mushroom as soon as possible, he had no choice but to make this trip. If he delayed too long, who could say whether the forging session would end in failure?
Besides, during this period Wei Zhao had clearly begun to feel that life in Yingxin Pavilion was becoming far too comfortable. Ever since Xu Lingchong's disappearance, the remaining Kang Jingming and Meng Zhou were no longer his match at all; they offered him no challenge whatsoever. An environment like that was, in truth, hardly beneficial to cultivation.
Even if it were only for the sake of improving his strength, Wei Zhao had to go out and temper himself, seeking an opportunity to advance further.
This journey was not merely about finding the Life-Aspect Mushroom. Wei Zhao had another, even more important purpose: to seek the opportunity to break through to the Great Completion stage of Foundation Establishment and prepare himself to advance into the Golden Core stage as soon as possible!
"Actually, the only thing worrying me now is how I should explain my absence to Yingxin Pavilion." Wei Zhao frowned.
He certainly would not be gone for a short time. Without a suitable excuse, Yingxin Pavilion might well erupt into turmoil. After all, he was officially the reception steward for West Island. Abandoning Ning Xuefei and running off to undertake a mission on his own could, in more serious terms, be considered dereliction of duty.
"It's fine, Little Junior Brother. Just go ahead. Feifei and I can take care of things for you. We'll simply say you went out to buy something for us. Hee hee." Shangguan Lan'er giggled.
Buy something? What kind of absurd excuse was that? Wei Zhao could only smile wryly and nod. Still, since Shangguan Lan'er had already put it that way, even if the others wanted to seize the opportunity to stir up trouble, they would have no grounds to argue.
"Elder Hong, do you know roughly where the Life-Aspect Mushroom can be found?" Wei Zhao asked instead.
"Hucai Tianwu Mountain. That is where the Life-Aspect Mushroom has historically been found most often. It usually grows in cold, damp places sheltered from the light, so once you arrive, Young Hero Lin, you can try your luck beside some of the mountain streams. You ought to find something." Hong Zhong offered Wei Zhao his advice based on the information he possessed.
"Hucai Tianwu Mountain. I've got it. But where exactly is this mountain located?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Heh heh. It is a famous mountain, in fact, and its renown is no less than that of the rear mountains of Three-Storied Pavilion. As for its location, it lies between North Island and Central Island!" Hong Zhong replied with a laugh.
"What? Between North Island and Central Island? Could it be that the two islands are actually connected?" Wei Zhao was utterly astonished.
"Indeed. Did you think North Island and Central Island were separated by open sea?" Hong Zhong asked, puzzled.
"I did..." Wei Zhao scratched his head, a little embarrassed. Ever since arriving on Cloud Terrace Island, he had constantly heard people speak of the five great islands of the Heavenly Order. Since North Island and Central Island were also so difficult to travel between, he had naturally assumed that the five islands were all isolated from one another, each forming a world of its own.
