After spending two days with this group of people, Chu Jun finally understood one thing. This world was indeed not the same world as before. The land beneath his feet was called Guyuan Continent. There were only two types of people living on the continent. One was called Immortal Cultivators, and the other was Physique Cultivators. Immortal cultivators had a much higher status than physique cultivators. To put it bluntly, physique cultivators were laborers who sold coolies, cannon fodder, and meat shields. Right now, Chu Jun had also become an honorable member of the "handyman". He had been hired, and his reward was ten spirit beans. As for what the Spirit Bean was, Chu Jun had yet to see it.
Physique cultivation was divided into one to five levels. A level one Physique Cultivator was the lowest level of existence. A single punch produced more than a hundred jin of strength, and he jumped only two meters. With Chu Jun's current combat strength, he could only be considered a level one Physique Cultivator. Zhang Meng and Zhang Biao were both Body Cultivators, but they were Second Grade Body Cultivators. Their reward was twenty spirit beans. Chu Jun didn't care about the spirit beans. He agreed to the employment of the red-clothed girl. He just wanted to follow them out of this damned primeval forest as soon as possible and learn about this unknown world from them.
At this moment, Chu Jun was sweating profusely and cutting down trees to build a camp. In these two days, Chu Jun had already adapted to his work as a body cultivator, cutting down trees to open up roads, building camps, and setting up villages.
Half an hour later, a simple campsite was built. In fact, it was to clear out an open space and set up defensive wooden stakes and rubble around the open space.
Chu Jun wiped away his sweat, returned the sword to Zhang Meng, and fell to the ground to rest. Zhang Meng was scratched by a level 1 spirit beast, the Wolf Leopard, that day, and his thigh was still unhealed, so Chu Jun and Zhang Biao had to complete all the work.
"Thank you, Brother Chu!" Zhang Meng took the sword back and said apologetically.
Chu Jun waved his hand and said that it didn't matter. In order to avoid talking too much, he had always played the role of a listener, speaking less and doing more. Unexpectedly, this won the favor of Brother Zhang Meng. Even the two employers were very satisfied with him. With such a laborious handyman, whoever became the boss would definitely like it.
"Brother, drink a mouthful of water!" Zhang Biao threw a water bag over.
Chu Jun was not polite either. He gulped down the spout boldly, soaking his chest wet. The girl in red couldn't help but wrinkle her cute nose.
"Thank you!" Chu Jun grinned, revealing two rows of dazzling white teeth.
Zhang Biao took the water bag that Chu Jun had handed back, poured it into the spout without any hesitation, and let out a comfortable breath. The red-clothed girl looked away in disgust and thought to herself, "These physique cultivators are really too unhygienic!"
As the sky gradually darkened, two campfires lit up swiftly. One of them belonged to the red-clothed girl and the blue-clothed youth, while the other belonged to the three of them. Chu Jun looked up at the starry night sky behind his head with a faint sadness in his eyes. He feared that he would never be able to return in this lifetime.
"Junior Sister Yun, we've been out for a few days. Let's go back to the manor tomorrow!" The green-robed youth whispered.
"No, the divine dragon light is reappearing. Perhaps another treasure has appeared this time. I must snatch one!" The red-clothed girl said firmly.
Hearing this, Chu Jun , who was looking up at the starry sky with a straw in his mouth, couldn't help but feel his heart. He subconsciously touched the space between his eyebrows and thought to himself, "Could it be that what he saw the night before yesterday was the Long Shenguang ?"
The azure-clothed youth frowned and said, "If there really was a precious treasure that was born, who would have obtained us? Other experts would have snatched it away long ago!"
The red-clothed girl said disapprovingly, "Treasures are originally unowned. Those who are fated to obtain them are not someone who can meet them with a strong cultivation. This girl's luck has always been good!"
The green-clothed youth knew that he could not be beaten, so he could only shake his head with a bitter smile and say, "I'm afraid you want to find Eldest Senior Brother, right?"
The red-clothed girl seemed to have been exposed, and her tender face couldn't help but blush slightly. She said angrily, "Damn it, go find that bastard Shangguan Yu !"
Chu Jun turned his head to look at the red-clothed girl. This girl's features were already picturesque, but now, she was even more charming. The red-clothed girl noticed the admiration in Chu Jun's eyes and felt a little proud in her heart. She glared at Chu Jun and shouted, "Where are your eyes? Be careful of digging them out for you!"
Chu Jun closed his eyes and fell asleep as if nothing had happened. The red-clothed girl cursed at the coward in her heart and angrily threw a dry stick of wood into the campfire. The azure-clothed youth seemed to have long since gotten used to the young girl's mood swings and started cultivating cross-legged.
A scimitar-like moon hung in midair. Chu Jun listened to the roars of the beasts all around him, and his consciousness gradually became confused. He arrived at a valley half asleep and half awake. There was a soft white light floating in the valley. The white light seemed to be enveloped in a hazy and graceful human form. Chu Jun approached curiously. Just as he was about to reach out and touch the white light, a dry and cold voice suddenly sounded, "Shut up!"
Chu Jun took two steps back in shock and asked, "Who are you? Why did you run into my Chu?"
"You don't need to know who I am. I'm only temporarily staying in your sea of consciousness. As long as you obey, I won't treat you badly!" Said the cold and dry voice.
Chu Jun 's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "Are you the meteor from the day before yesterday?"
After waiting for a while, Chu Jun did not hear any reply from the people in the ball of light. He felt rather bored and began to wander around the valley. The valley wasn't very big. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the valley. Standing at the entrance, they looked out. The scenery outside was gray and blurry. It looked very illusory. Chu Jun felt that it was very strange. He stepped out and immediately emptied his feet. It was as if his entire body had fallen into an endless abyss.
Chu Jun woke up and sat up. The campfire in front of him burned to the point of cracking a horn. It was actually Nan Ke Yimeng just now. Chu Jun wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and noticed that the red-clothed girl by the campfire was looking at him strangely. Chu Jun grinned awkwardly. The red-clothed girl rolled her eyes. Her eyes were very big, and rolling her eyes was a little scary, but she was very happy!
At this moment, the endless roars of the beasts fell silent, and the world fell silent. The red-clothed girl and the green-clothed youth who had been cultivating with their eyes closed jumped up and looked at each other with fear in their eyes. Zhang Meng and the other two brothers decisively pulled out the big sword from their backs. The four big grey birds that were resting with their wings folded vigilantly stretched their necks and looked around. The atmosphere became tense in vain.
"Look!" Zhang Biao pointed to the distance.
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing at, only to see a ray of light rising from a very far place. It was exceptionally dazzling in the pitch-black night sky, like a silver snake coming out of a cave and a flood dragon coiling its head.
"It's Long Shenguang!" The red-clothed girl cried out in surprise. She leapt onto a gray-feathered crane and soared into the air with a whistle. The green-clothed youth did not hesitate as he jumped onto another gray-feathered crane and chased after him.
Zhang Biao and Zhang Meng hurriedly stepped onto the grey-feathered crane. Zhang Meng waved his hand and said, "Brother Chu, hurry up!"
Chu Jun hurriedly sat down on Zhang Meng's grey-feathered crane. The grey-feathered crane let out a dissatisfied cry, struggled to soar into the sky, and slowly chased after it. It had already reached its limit in bearing the weight of two adults. Chu Jun secretly wondered when he would get one, and it would be much more convenient for him to travel in the future.
"Every time the Long Shenguang erupted, treasures would appear nearby. I didn't expect it to erupt twice in a row in just a few days!" Zhang Meng said excitedly, "I'm not sure if we'll be lucky enough to pick one up. We won't have to worry about it for the rest of our lives!"
Chu Jun asked curiously, "What kind of thing is the Long Shenguang that spits out treasures?"
Zhang Mengyu said respectfully, "The Long Shenguang is one of the most mysterious things in the Ancient Plain Continent. No one knows its exact origin. Some people suspect that it is the Dragon Divine Treasure Cauldron left behind by the Ancient Fallen Immortal. The cauldron is filled with all kinds of rare treasures. The treasures in the cauldron will erupt out every once in a while!"
Chu Jun couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it better to find this Dragon God Treasure Cauldron?"
Zhang Meng chuckled and said, "Many people have such thoughts. However, no one has ever seen what the Dragon God's Treasure Cauldron looks like. Moreover, the location where the Dragon God's Light erupts is different every time. There is no trace of it. Perhaps there is no Dragon God's Treasure Cauldron at all. Even if there is, no one is qualified to possess such an ancient divine object!"
Because of the two people on board, Zhang Meng's Grey Feather Crane lagged far behind, and the distance between him and the three people in front of him grew larger and larger. Chu Jun saw the urgency in Zhang Meng's expression and suggested, "Brother Meng, find a mountain peak where you can rest and put me down. Wait for you to return before coming to pick me up!"
Zhang Meng was very loyal. He shook his head and said, "Everyone will naturally come and go together. How can I leave you here by yourself?"
Chu Jun smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Just pick me up later!"
Zhang Meng hesitated for a moment before descending towards a sparsely wooded mountain peak. With great difficulty, he encountered the eruption of the Long Shenguang . Even if he could not seize the treasure, it would be good for him to join in the fun. A few meters away, Chu Jun jumped down from the back of the crane.
"Brother Chu, wait here for a moment. I'll come back to pick you up after dawn!" Zhang Meng shouted and continued to chase after Zhang Biao and the others. The grey-feathered crane carried one less person, and its speed immediately increased by a lot. Soon, it disappeared into the night.
Chu Jun took out his military thorn and scanned the surroundings vigilantly. After realizing that there was no danger nearby, he found a safe place to sit.
The howling mountain winds swept across the treetops and produced waves of sound, the roars of the undulating beasts far or near. Chu Jun curled his arms around his chest. After nightfall, the barren mountain was extremely cold. Especially on the mountain peak where the mountain wind blew, it was very difficult to endure without a campfire.
As time passed, the temperature became colder and colder. Chu Jun , who couldn't stand the cold anymore, could only get up and do some warm-up exercises. He happened to see a ray of light running towards him from afar and faintly heard a few crane cries.
"Zhang Meng came back to pick me up so quickly?" Chu Jun thought to himself.
At this moment, the light was getting closer and closer. The sound of the grey-feathered crane flapping its wings could be faintly heard. Chu Jun no longer hesitated. He jumped onto the giant rock and waved his hand, shouting, "Brother Meng, I'm here!"
The light in the sky flashed and unexpectedly accelerated downwards. The howling wind seemed to be mixed with the crane's mournful cries and tender cries. Finally, the ball of light fell somewhere below the mountain peak. Chu Jun was shocked. It looked like the gray-feathered crane had fallen in a crash.
Chu Jun did not hesitate to pull out his army and touch the mountain peak. This was almost an unconscious reaction. Regardless of whether the other party was Zhang Meng or not, he could not just sit idly by and watch. As soon as he entered the densely wooded area, Chu Jun found it difficult to move a single step. The surroundings were pitch black, and he didn't know where to go.
