"Amon, Amon..." Yan Jin ran into the library, shouting.
Her loud voice attracted many glares, but upon seeing the signature fiery red hair, the students in the library suppressed their dissatisfaction.
The nickname "Mad Dog" had already quietly spread among the students, but Yan Jin herself was completely unaware of it.
"What's the matter?" Amon asked with a smile, pushing up his glasses.
Yan Jin scratched her head, "The old man said he wants to take me to a cultivation treasure land that's very suitable for me to cultivate in seclusion. He said you and Lei Yin can also go together, but the environment there might not be suitable for you."
"Let's go together. I'm also curious about a place that can be called a cultivation treasure land by a Soul Douluo."
Amon didn't plan to go with his main body, but only intended to send some clones.
In fact, the one currently talking to Yan Jin wasn't his main body either.
After arriving in Beidi City and settling down, his main body had hardly left the house. The ones walking around outside and handling various miscellaneous matters were clones with personalities close to the main body.
Improving his soul power cultivation was his most fundamental and important goal, and everything else served this purpose.
On the agreed day, Amon and the other two arrived at the Spirit Hall early.
Of course, at Walter's request, they had done some disguising before coming. He didn't seem to want to reveal his master-disciple relationship with Yan Jin yet.
In fact, there had been many people investigating Yan Jin's background during this period, but Zhu Youzhi withstood the pressure from the nobles and didn't reveal anything.
Yu Xinxue also knew that there was a Soul Douluo behind the three of them, but she didn't know who it was specifically, and she wasn't a gossipy person either.
"Good morning, Mr. Walter," Amon greeted Walter, who was walking towards them.
"Hey, old man," Yan Jin waved her hand.
Walter nodded to Amon first, then touched Yan Jin's head:
"You should learn to respect your elders."
"Okay, okay, I'll learn tomorrow," Yan Jin said perfunctorily.
Her eyes lit up as she looked at the two luxurious but unostentatious carriages Walter had prepared.
The carriages were not painted with gold leaf, nor were they decorated with gems, but the entire carriage was made of the trunks of plant-type soul beasts that were quite old!
Although it wasn't his main body that came, the keen observation brought by his third soul ring, "Cryptologist was still present.
Amon judged that the coachmen sitting in the two carriages were both as strong as Yu Xinxue. They were likely two Soul Emperors!
One of them was the man who had opened the back door of the Spirit Hall for Ilya a few days ago.
Seeing Yan Jin's impatient look, Walter smiled and said softly:
"Then let's set off."
He said to the two coachmen, "Thank you for your trouble."
"It's our honor," the two replied in unison.
Stepping into the carriage, a delicate fragrance wafted over, the scent natural and clear, with a hint of vegetation.
"Tsk, so extravagant," Amon took off his glasses, wiped them with a handkerchief, and put them back on.
He and Lei Yin rode in one carriage, while Yan Jin and Walter were in the other.
"Mr. Amon, how long will we be gone?" Lei Yin asked softly, touching the soft animal skin spread on the wooden planks.
Amon shook his head, "I don't know. We'll follow Walter's arrangements, but I don't think it will be too long. After all, a Soul Douluo's time is very precious…"
"Walter has his own things to do, and I'm already surprised that he's willing to take the time to arrange this trip for Yan Jin."
On the other side, Yan Jin touched and looked around, sometimes peeking out the window, sometimes lifting the animal skin cushion.
"Old man, what kind of soul beast is this made of? It smells quite good," Yan Jin's nose twitched, sniffing the scent in the carriage.
Walter smiled and explained:
"A plant-type soul beast called Banlan Tree. When exposed to direct sunlight, it emits a fragrance that can refresh the mind, and at night, it turns into an aroma that helps people sleep."
"This characteristic is still retained in the wood after it dies, so it's very popular among the upper class and is the first choice for making high-end carriages."
Yan Jin suddenly asked:
"Does it only have a refreshing fragrance when exposed to direct sunlight? What if we encounter consecutive cloudy days? Wouldn't we always want to sleep while sitting on it?"
Walter shook his head, "On cloudy days, mornings, and evenings, when the sunlight isn't strong, it won't have any special effect."
After a period of tossing around, Yan Jin lost her novelty and quieted down.
The carriage moved forward on the relatively smooth road with a clattering sound.
This time, there were no bandits with bad eyes to block the road. Occasionally, some passing wild beasts also stayed far away under the deterrence of the two Soul Emperors' aura.
After spending a long time in the confined and narrow space, Amon also felt a little dull. He leaned on the edge of the bed and flipped from the carriage window to the roof.
Seeing Yan Jin lying on the roof in a large character shape, fast asleep, a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.
In the distance, huge blue-gray mountains loomed, the continuous mountains like giant dragons prostrating.
On the open wilderness, green grass, only half the height of a calf, was full of vitality. Occasionally, large animals such as wild cattle appeared, watching the carriage from a distance, chewing on tender grass, with a leisurely expression.
Amon sat on the edge of the carriage, his legs hanging down naturally, emptying his brain and enjoying this rare leisure.
He was just a clone, with a cultivation talent at the same level as Yu Xiaogang. No matter how much he seized the time, the results he achieved would be very limited.
As for the matter of hard work, let's leave it to the main body with complete talent!
After two days of travel, the originally looming mountains were already close at hand.
The tall and towering peaks went straight into the clouds, half of them hidden in the clouds.
Looking at those majestic peaks, Yan Jin exclaimed in amazement:
"So big!"
After arriving at the foot of the mountain, they parked the carriage by the side of the road, and one Soul Emperor stayed behind to take care of the vehicles.
Walter led the three and another Soul Emperor into the mountains.
As he walked, he reminded:
"Be careful, there are many powerful soul beasts in this Meteor Mountain Range, some of which even I have to treat with caution and even have to retreat from.
"The destination of our trip is relatively deep, so don't stray too far from me, and you must also be vigilant yourselves. I may not be able to take action to rescue you in the first place."
"I know," Yan Jin nodded.
The following Soul Emperor walked at the end, guarding against possible threats from behind.
Amon stroked his monocle. He didn't bring many time clones this trip, and he didn't know where in the mountains the cultivation treasure land that Walter mentioned was, so he didn't spread the time clones out immediately.
The people present weren't entering the mountains for the first time. Even the youngest, Lei Yin, had several experiences of hunting soul beasts, and they all knew how to save stamina and soul power consumption in the mountains.
In the outermost area where there were no soul beasts, there was basically nothing that could pose a threat to the group, so the speed of advance was very fast.
