Chapter 1517 - 778: Baili Peak
...
Qing Shui was also surprised; he hadn’t expected to get dragged into Baili Jingwei’s conversation. Just from observing Baili Wufeng’s demeanor, Qing Shui knew that this young man would eventually challenge him.
"Old man, don’t joke around." Qing Shui laughed heartily.
Baili Jingwei merely smiled, but the gaze in his eyes was full of wisdom, acceptance, and kindness, making Qing Shui feel all his secrets were exposed to the old man.
At this moment, two wretched aluminum service staff received a black fish, causing a sensation in Baili City. The hotel surroundings radiated a magnesium odor, making other customers stare at them direction.
"That old man has smelled this aroma in many places, so delicious, but has never smelled such a scent before." Baili Jingwei glanced lightly at the black fish, just as he said.
"Come, Qing Shui, Wufeng, let’s eat and chat together!"
After a couple of bites, Qing Shui paused, watching the grandfather and grandson fill themselves with the fish of magnesium scent.
"I was wrong. Initially, I thought that the inn at Canglan County offered the best dishes and wine. However, they cannot compare with this black fish at all. Although the scent is similar, when you taste it, you can clearly distinguish the differences!" Baili Jingwei said bluntly, drunk with fish meat.
"Indeed, I didn’t think this trip to Baili City would bring such great rewards; we not only managed to taste this heavenly fish but also made friends with someone like you. Qing Shui, come, let’s toast to each other!" Baili Jingwei raised his glass.
Qing Shui quickly raised his glass.
"Old man, are you from Canglang Country?" Qing Shui asked randomly.
"Yes, you’re right; is there something you want to know? You can still consider that this old man has a certain understanding of what is happening in Canglang Village. As I’ve said before, we were destined to meet here; if the young brother encounters any issues that need my help, please ask. After all, I do have some status in Canglang Village." The old man observed Qing Shui’s expressions and knew Qing Shui had some doubts or even needed to undertake a difficult task.
"Old man, what about the strength of the Yan Clan in the Capital of Yanjiang Country?"
Baili Jingwei watched Qing Shui and answered smilingly another question. "How much do you know about the world of the Nine Great Continents, or how familiar are you with Canglang country? How much do you know about your strength?"
With the sudden impact of these three questions, Qing Shui realized that he really didn’t know much, but since he didn’t know, all he had to do was ask! The old man in front of him was definitely not an ordinary man. He should seize this opportunity to expand his understanding of the world he lives in.
"Please teach this young child." Qing Shui sincerely pleaded.
Baili Jingwei nodded and smiled.
"Under the paradise of the Nine Great Continents, our Green Cloud Continent is located at the far west end of this world. But do you know that in the northern and western borders of the African Continent, there are terrifying dangers everywhere. For example, in the western region is one hundred million miles of mountains, where no one has completely crossed. Partly due to the lack of food and water."
Qing Shui listened quietly, his thoughts going back to the half year he spent there.
Canglang Country is one of the 81 countries on the Green Cloud Continent, also the far western region. It occupies a huge land area and has a favorable geographical location.
"People of Canglang Country, including Cultivators, have rarely left. Most citizens of Canglang Country can only visit the borders of Canglang Country with other countries or travel to one of the 81 cities within the country. Baili City is one such city, but it’s one of the weakest."
Qing Shui naturally knew this because it was very difficult to find any Innate Cultivator in this city.
Baili Jingwei drank tea from his cup, gently observing the people on the street, and said: "Yanjing is the capital of Yanjiang. The Yan Family can be considered the ’Royal’ clan of the Yan Family Capital, and it’s the protector of Yan Family Capital. As for the true strength of the Yan Family, even I cannot be certain. After all, the power they might exhibit can be just a facade. After all, I am not from Yanjiang County, so I cannot definitely tell you. However, for sure, the Yan Family must have more than one Innate Cultivator."
Baili Jingwei’s words made Qing Shui take a deep breath; thus, the Yan Family can be considered as the protector of the entire country. This fully demonstrated their strength!
"After reaching the Innate Realm, I am still thinking about the Yan Clan, what a joke, how naïve of a joke. The promise I made to my mother is to give me five years... Can I defeat the entire Yan Family within five years?" Qing Shui felt extreme pain in his heart.
Qing Shui lost himself in his thoughts, only when the grandfather and grandson stared at him with strange eyes, then with a strong smile, did he recover.
"Old man, are there many Innate Cultivators here?"
Baili Jingwei shook his head, just lightly laughed, put his hand on the table, then said: "Qing Shui, this world is controlled by various hidden factions and powerful families. Whoever has strength has the right to speak. Do you understand?"
