The Romantic Cultivator



It took the caravan 3 days to reach within sight of the Bloody Forest. 

Ji Yuan then ordered everyone to remove the goods from the wheeled caravan as they were all going on foot now into the dense forest.

The trees here were really monstrous and it averaged 100m in height. The leaves of these trees however were red in color instead of the green coloring.

During the 3 days that Ji Yuan was here, he noticed that the day was always dark red while the night did not have any red lights from the heavens and it was truly dark. 

Actually, he could reach this place in less than a single day with his speed. 

But then, he was leading these 100 men and maidens; they did not have his speed or stamina. Moreover, they needed to eat, drink, rest and sleep. 

Ji Yuan had almost forgotten that he was once a low level cultivator now after he had been a high level cultivator for the past several hundreds years. 

The many men and maidens slowly warmed up to Ji Yuan when they saw that he was actually an approachable person. 

In fact, Ji Yuan had spent much of his time walking with Old Fu and asking him questions in an amicable manner as he liked to grin and smile.

Moreover, Ji Yuan was actually very beautiful in the eyes of the maidens and he slowly become the object of their fascinations. 

All the maidens were constantly looking at Ji Yuan and trying to get his attentions.

Actually Ji Yuan had noticed that the maidens were smiling and trying to get to know him but he pretended not to see.

It was not because these maidens were not beautiful. In fact, some of the maidens especially the spiritas maidens were very too beautiful, especially in their scantily dressing. 

However, Ji Yuan had already seen his fair share of the beautiful spiritas maidens in the Greater Spirit Realm and he was no longer excited by their beautiful sights; it was as though they were all heavily clothed in his eyes.

Of course, the spiritas maidens, Destiny and even his maidens were all outstanding beautiful maidens. So, he really did not have any lusty look on the maidens here nor did he have any needs to turn them into his living cauldrons as he did not know or practice such hideous cultivation. 

Another reason why Ji Yuan was not interested in these maidens were because he was technically their Patriarch now and he was against developing any protégé master and protégé relationship. 

Technically, he would never be together with Fairy Ye Chengxi and Shangguan Yan if he could have his way. But he got setup by Xia Jiajia and he ended up firstly with Shangguan Yan and then Fairy Ye Chengxi.

Actually, he was not against the protégé master and protégé relationship if he was the protégé of course. Technically, this was allowed in his mind. 

Old Fu saw the dreamy looks on the maidens and he also saw that Ji Yuan did not even take notice of them. He began to think that this Empyrean Ji Yuan may actually be interested in a man since he was constantly talking to him. 

He had to admit that he was quite a handsome man when he was young, actually.

Ji Yuan said to Old Fu and everyone, "It is getting dark soon. Let's camp outside the Bloody Forest for the night and then we shall set off the next day."

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm His instructions were quickly followed and everyone was now busy making a makeshift camp. 

Old Fu said to Ji Yuan, "Empyrean Ji Yuan, you didn't rest for 3 days. Why don't I make a tent for you to sleep?"

Ji Yuan laughed softly, "No need. I am not tired. Haha… I shall continue to watch over all of you." 

Old Fu slowly nodded; he had no idea how long a high level cultivator was able to starve off rest and sleep. But this Ji Yuan did not eat, rest or sleep for 3 days now.

Now it was night.

There were only Ji Yuan and 8 others that were watching over the camp site.

The night was actually not peaceful and there were actually some dangers. 

In fact, the scent of so many people quickly attracted the attention of the nearby profound abyssal beasts. 

Ji Yuan had actually noticed that too but he did not raise any alarms. Instead, he had sent his flying swords flying into the dead of the night to slaughter all the profound abyssal beasts that dared to approach the camp. 

Luckily for him, all the profound abyssal beasts were less than the 5th rank and he could easily dispatched them with just a attack from his flying swords.

He was so swift and quiet in his execution that the 8 nearby guards did not even notice that Ji Yuan was attacking the approaching dangers in the night.

After 6 hours into the night, dozens of profound abyssal beasts' corpses lay all around the camp. With so much corpses around, many of the profound abyssal beasts had quickly scented great danger and did not dare to approach the dead zone. 

The night was soon looking quite peaceful.

Ji Yuan was suddenly looking at the skull ring that was on his finger.

This skull ring was from Destiny. But she was no longer here now.

He thought: Does it means that I can now remove the ring? Since she isn't here now, I can now remove it right? 

When he had thought of this, he immediately tried to pull the ugly ring from his finger.

But to his dismal, he failed to pull the skull ring from his finger and he was astonished, "What the heck?!"

All of a sudden, he had an idea.

He began to call out in his soul sea: Xiang Li, Anyang! I need your help!

Xiang Li: Yes, Big Brother?

Anyang: ???

Ji Yuan laughed softly: Haha, the two of you are Trial Spirits in the past too. This skull ring that I am wearing, how can I remove it? Can you check for me?

Xiang Li giggled: You have found the right person.

Anyang: Isn't that skull ring from that Great Oracle Destiny? Why do you want to remove it?

Ji Yuan answered: I am just curious about this ring and what it can do. It sounds weird to me that I can summon Destiny here by calling her name 3 times. Do you think that she is pulling a trick on me?

Anyang asked curiously: Why do you think it is a trick?

Ji Yuan weakly said: Can you imagine if I were to fight the Great Demon God and then I call her name 3 times, only to have 'nothing happens'. This will be really awkward you know.

Anyang: …

Xiang Li giggled: This skull ring is a True Divinity profound treasure. I am sure it can work this way.

Ji Yuan frowned: Xiang Li, what do you mean by it can work this way? You sound like you don't know.

Xiang Li weakly said: I am a low level Trial Spirit, you know. Maybe Anyang knows about it.

Ji Yuan: …

I've just remembered that Xiang Li is a low level fairy spirit…

Anyang, you know?

Anyang said: Let me focus my divine sense into that skull ring… hmm, your skull ring seems to be a pocket dimension. 

Ji Yuan frowned: A pocket dimension? Don't tell me that Destiny is hiding inside and she is trying to surprise me by popping out in this manner?

Anyang giggled: I can send you inside for you to find out.

Ji Yuan was startled: You can?

Anyang giggled: Yes, I can but there is a small problem though.

Ji Yuan frowned unhappily: You mean the small problem is that you can't send me into the skull ring, am I right?

Anyang laughed softly: How do I send you into the skull ring when you are struck with wearing the skull ring?

Ji Yuan: …

He rolled his golden eyes with a sheepish look: This is indeed a problem. But it isn't a small problem but a big problem.

Xiang Li giggled: Big Brother, why don't you chop off your finger? Then won't this problem be solved?

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …
