Chapter 470: Chapter 192: Unique Holy Bath, Underground Cave

Just as he was about to follow them and leave, Fang Xing sensed something. His brow furrowed as he looked toward the altar.

The High Priest on the altar was looking at him, a faint smile on his face.

Fang Xing gave a slight nod to the High Priest.

The High Priest responded in kind, nodding gently back at him.

Without exchanging any words, Fang Xing turned and followed Haji and Wulan away.

The High Priest stroked his Scepter, watching Fang Xing’s departing figure. He pondered for a moment before leaving as well.

Soon, the High Priest’s figure appeared in the center of the Profound Wind Tribe, before a large hall.

He strode into the hall and made his way to the rear courtyard.

A tall, powerfully built man was training in the rear courtyard. An aura swirled All Around him, making the very air tremble.

Sensing the High Priest’s arrival, the man opened his eyes, and the faint glow All Around his body vanished.

The large man smiled at the High Priest. "High Priest, you just finished the Holy Bath ceremony. What brings you here so soon?"

"Great Chieftain, I have something to report," the High Priest said, looking at the man.

At these words, the Great Chieftain’s expression immediately turned grave, and he rose abruptly to his feet.

"What is it?"

"I just saw someone. This person is blessed by a great fortune and may even possess the Celestial Destiny Qi."

"Celestial Destiny Qi?!"

The Great Chieftain’s gaze hardened. He looked at the High Priest and asked, "Are you certain?"

"It is my innate ability. I should not be mistaken," the High Priest said.

"Then for our Profound Wind Tribe, is this a blessing or a curse?!" the Great Chieftain asked the High Priest.

"Blessings and curses are intertwined. It is still impossible to be certain," the High Priest said, shaking his head.

The Great Chieftain’s brow furrowed tightly. After a moment of contemplation, he looked at the High Priest. "Who is this person?"

"I do not know. However, Haji and Wulan should," the High Priest said.

"Hm?"

The Great Chieftain looked at him, somewhat surprised.

"This person is shrouded in a faint purple qi. His origins are likely anything but simple," the High Priest added.

"Purple qi... Are you saying he’s a high-ranking minister from the Court of some Dynasty?!" the Great Chieftain asked, staring at him in astonishment.

The High Priest nodded. "That should be the case."

"Purple qi..."

"To be able to manifest purple qi in a foreign land... Could he be a high-ranking minister from one of the two Upper Countries...?" the Great Chieftain murmured to himself.

"If not Great Jing, then it must be Great Wei," the High Priest said.

The Great Chieftain nodded. After pondering for a moment, he spoke. "Regardless, anyone with the Celestial Destiny Qi cannot be underestimated. If you have the chance, keep an eye on him."

"Mm," the High Priest agreed with a nod.

...

"Brother Fang, we’re here. This is my home." Before the gate of a courtyard in the Profound Wind Tribe, Haji stopped and spoke with a smile.

Fang Xing glanced at the courtyard. His Flesh Body’s Perception told him it was very large.

The courtyard was divided into several sections: a front yard, a central hall, a rear courtyard, and side halls.

"This is my home," Wulan said from the side, pointing to a courtyard of the same size across from them.

’...These two are a textbook example of a well-matched couple.’

Fang Xing looked back and forth. Their homes were directly facing each other.

They could practically step right into each other’s homes.

’Truly a perfect match, right down to the gate!’

Following Haji into the courtyard, they reached the center, where Haji poured him a cup of hot milk.

"Here, Brother Fang, have a taste. This is the special milk wine of our Profound Wind Tribe. It’s got a great flavor."

Haji’s face was full of enthusiasm.

Fang Xing didn’t refuse and took a small sip.

Hmm...

’This flavor... why does it feel like I’m drinking coffee?!’

Fang Xing was stunned.

’Milk wine that tastes like coffee... this is honestly a bit absurd.’

"How does it taste?" Haji asked, looking at him with an expectant expression.

Fang Xing nodded.

"Not bad. Upper Grade."

"If you like it, drink some more. This is my dad’s private stash. If you really like it, you can finish it all."

"..."

After chatting for a bit, Wulan stood up. "I’m going to go turn in the monster parts. You two carry on."

The two men nodded, and Wulan turned and left the courtyard.

Not long after Wulan left, a large man with a melancholic look on his face appeared at the courtyard entrance.

When he saw Fang Xing and Haji in the courtyard, the man paused for a second.

"Dad, you’re back. Why the long face?" Haji asked, getting up and blinking his eyes.

Fang Xing stood up as well, sizing up the man. He was even stronger than Harry, whom they had encountered earlier.

’True Gang Perfection Cultivation.’

"And this is?" Old Dad Haji asked, looking at Fang Xing.

"This is my friend. Thanks to his help earlier, I was able to slay that vicious creature. I would’ve been injured otherwise! I invited him over as a guest," Haji explained.

"I am Fang Xing. A pleasure to meet you, Uncle," Fang Xing said politely.

Hearing this, Old Dad Haji snapped out of his daze and came forward with a smile.

"Welcome, little brother. Thank you for lending a hand and saving Haji."

Fang Xing smiled faintly. "You’re too kind, Uncle. It was nothing, really."

"Please, sit," Old Dad Haji said warmly. Fang Xing sat down accordingly.

Haji, at the side, also took out a cup and poured his dad a glass of the milk wine.

"You’re not one of the Yunlan People, are you, little brother?" Old Dad Haji asked, looking at Fang Xing.

Fang Xing nodded. "I am traveling and happened to arrive here. I am not from Yunlan."

"To come from so far away... our meeting must be fate," Old Dad Haji said with a broad smile.

Fang Xing smiled faintly.

"Dad, why did you have such a long face just now?" Haji asked from the side.

Old Dad Haji sighed. "Sigh... It’s because of the matter with the Underground Cave."

’The Underground Cave!’

Hearing that sigh, Fang Xing immediately perked up, paying full attention while sipping his milk wine and listening intently.

"What’s wrong with the Underground Cave? Don’t we have the Longevity Hall?" Haji asked, looking at his dad with a confused expression.

Old Dad Haji sighed, took a sip of milk wine, and continued, "Things have gotten serious. The Longevity Hall has issued an order. They need every tribe to send people to the Underground Cave to hunt down the Fierce Beasts and prevent the situation from escalating."
