Chapter 144: The Extraordinary Niu Village

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Shan Yao, how much longer until we reach your Niu Family Village?”

Shan Yao looked around, then bit her thumb and said uncertainly, “It seems like we’re almost there.”

Hearing Shan Yao’s words, Lu Yuan pinched the space between his eyebrows speechlessly.

Because he had heard Shan Yao say the same thing two hours ago.

However, two hours had passed, and they still seemed to be going in circles in the mountains.

If it weren’t for the fact that flying on a sword would attract the attention of the demon kings in the surrounding area, Lu Yuan and Xu Wan’er would have already searched the mountain range on their flying swords.

After the three of them walked for about half an hour, Lu Yuan discovered that the surrounding environment was surprisingly familiar.

Looking at the big tree that they had encountered for the third time, Lu Yuan looked at the little girl and said, “Shan Yao, why don’t you describe to me what your Niu Family Village looks like? That way, we might be able to find it faster.”

Upon hearing Lu Yuan’s words, Shan Yao became unexpectedly confident, saying “Brother, trust me, we’re almost there!”

Looking at Shan Yao’s stubborn appearance, Lu Yuan felt a headache coming on.

It was obvious that Shan Yao was completely untalented in finding the way, she was inexperienced and could only be described as a blank sheet of paper.

Lu Yuan felt that it was better to find the way himself than to rely on her.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan gave Xu Wan’er a signal.

Young Master’s considerate little girl immediately understood and squatted down and asked Shan Yao, “Shan Yao, tell me how you came up the mountain.”

The little girl who was inexperienced in the ways of the world, did not understand the tricks of the outside world. She immediately began to talk about her journey into the mountain.

Lu Yuan listened while calculating what iconic landmarks she had encountered along the way that could serve as reference points.

After listening for a while, Lu Yuan collected something useful.

For instance, the reason why Niu Family Village was called as such was that there was a large tree at the entrance of the village that had been struck by lightning and looked like a cow’s horn.

Therefore, the village was named after it.

With the landmarks in mind, Lu Yuan found it much easier to locate things.

Lu Yuan spread out his hand, and a pile of small Paper Men instantly appeared in his hand.

Then, Lu Yuan took out a Soul Pill and infused some of his divine soul into the Paper Men.

“Chirp, chirp, chirp!”

As the divine soul entered their bodies, the Paper Men immediately came to life.

They jumped down to the ground and looked up at Lu Yuan with a cute expression.

Lu Yuan looked at them and said with a smile, “Go ahead and find the Oxhorn Tree, then come back and tell me about it.”

“Chirp!” The Paper Men stood at attention and made a gesture to accept the order. Then, they swarmed into the mountains.

Lu Yuan’s little trick of creating paper soldiers was not like Shen Xuan’s Paper Binding Technique, but rather a small trick derived from his Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique.

Compared to Shen Xuan, who could create powerful ghosts using Paper Men, Lu Yuan’s Paper Men not only had a limited duration but also had almost zero strength.

They were useful for scouting, but they couldn’t match the strength of Shen Xuan’s Paper Men, which were capable of fighting cultivators.

Shan Yao, who was standing at the side, looked at the backs of the Paper Men as they left. Shan Yao looked at Lu Yuan with admiration and said, “Brother, are you a god?”

“Oh? Why do you think that?” Lu Yuan asked.

Shan Yao thought for a moment and replied, “Because brother, you not only look handsome but also possess such amazing immortal skills.”

“Shan Yao heard from the elders in the village that any good-looking girl is a vixen who is very good at deceiving people.”

“But good-looking boys are all immortals and brother, you’re the kind of handsome immortal!”

Hmm? What she said made sense!

It was said that children speak their minds, and Shan Yao seemed honest and probably wouldn’t lie. She was speaking the truth.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan’s mood became very good. The frustration he felt from being led astray had also disappeared.

However, Lu Yuan seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked Shan Yao, “Have you ever thought about a problem? What if a good-looking girl is a boy?”

“What?”

Lu Yuan’s tricky question immediately caused Shan Yao’s brain to frat.

“A boy who looks like a girl?” Shan Yao’s mind was messed up as she tried to contemplate the question.

Seeing Shan Yao’s reaction, Lu Yuan knew that Shan Yao would not be able to answer his question.

However, thinking about it, this problem had not been completely solved in a certain country in his previous life. Could a child know the answer?

Not long after Lu Yuan had finished teasing Shan Yao, the Paper Men he had sent out returned very quickly.

One of the Paper Men began to gesticulate at Lu Yuan, clearly indicating that he had found the split tree that Lu Yuan had mentioned.

After obtaining useful information, Lu Yuan turned to Shan Yao, whose mind was still messed up, and Xu Wan’er, who was constantly caring about her, and said, “Alright, let’s not dwell on this question any longer. I’ve found the Niu Family Village.”

Upon hearing Lu Yuan’s words, Xu Wan’er picked up Shan Yao and followed him.

Under the guidance of a few Paper Men, the three of them walked in a certain direction at the foot of the mountain.

Bull Mountain, Niu Family Village.

“Village chief, Shan Yao has been missing for several days now. Shouldn’t we try to find her?”

An old man sitting under an Oxhorn Tree frowned and took a drag of his cigarette.

Looking at the villagers gathered around him, he said, “Everyone, you should be aware of the rules we have in the village.”

“Until the half-moon and full moon hung high in the sky, we are forbidden from going up the mountain. Otherwise, it is very likely for us to encounter mishaps.”

Upon hearing this, the villagers also looked troubled.

Although the villagers did not understand the village’s rules. However, they did not dare to say anything to the village chief, who had integrity and a good reputation.

It was due to the village chief’s authority and reputation that the Niu Family Village had survived until now without being bullied by other villages or bandits.

Seeing that the villagers had finally calmed down, the village chief sighed and said,” The heavens will bless that child, Shan Yao. I believe that she shouldn’t be in danger. She should be back in a few days, so…”

Before the village chief could finish his sentence, he suddenly saw two strangers at the village entrance.

In the arms of the woman was Shan Yao whom the villagers had been worried about.

At this moment, Shan Yao also noticed everyone at the village entrance and finally stopped pondering the “ultimate question” that Lu Yuan had raised earlier.

“Grandpa village chief!”

Shan Yao waved happily at the people gathered under the tree.

Upon seeing this, Xu Wan’er placed the little girl down from her arms.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan unexpectedly did not enter the village directly and instead curiously observed his surroundings.

[Name: Ge Xiu]

[Cultivation: Core Formation Stage Rank Nine]

[Cultivation Technique: Shangqing Spiritual Sword Record]

As expected, this small village that could cultivate a lucky person was not so simple.

The seemingly ordinary village chief was a Core Formation Stage cultivator!
