"Boss, you're awake. These are all bought by Old Hu from those junk shops."
"Don't know if these old antiques are any good."
Fatty greeted enthusiastically when he saw Zhang Tian come out.
Zhang Tian nodded and sat in a chair.
His gaze swept across the table, which was covered with World War II gas masks.
There were even some from World War I.
These were truly legendary old antiques.
Zhang Tian touched these items, noting their excellent quality.
"Alright, we'll take these. Since everyone's packed, let's not delay and depart directly,"
Zhang Tian said with a nod.
Now that they had bought everything, Zhang Tian felt it was best to go and return as soon as possible.
Since Queen Jingjue refused to lift the curse, Zhang Tian had no choice but to go himself.
As Zhang Tian finished speaking, Fatty and the others nodded.
"Boss, we've been waiting for you to say that. I've realized that since I stopped tomb robbing, I've felt like something was missing this past year,"
Fatty exclaimed excitedly. He then stood up, ready to depart.
Zhang Tian rolled his eyes at Fatty.
He counted the number of people.
This trip to Southern Cloud was perhaps the time with the fewest people.
Excluding the Princess, there were only five of them, including Zhang Tian.
It was very relaxed.
"I've already bought the train tickets. We can leave today."
Hu Bayi said softly.
Zhang Tian was taken aback.
Good heavens, Old Hu is quite eager.
But it made sense. This was a perfect opportunity for Hu Bayi to get rid of the curse, and then they could get married peacefully.
Zhang Tian nodded.
Everyone got up.
Zhang Tian then stored all these anti-poisoning items into his spatial dimension.
In Southern Cloud, the most terrifying things were gu worms and poisonous insects. As long as they could defend against these, Zhang Tian felt they would be basically safe.
The group said no more.
They rose and walked outside.
At this moment, in the illusory space.
Queen Jingjue, who had just finished speaking with Zhang Tian, frowned slightly when she saw Zhang Tian throw in more trash.
Good heavens, he truly didn't take her words seriously.
When had she ever suffered such indignity?
However, thinking that she still needed to survive here, she could only bear it silently.
Time passed quickly.
Zhang Tian and the others boarded the train.
The train station still had the old green-skinned trains.
Not only were they slow, but they were also very noisy.
However, in this era, apart from these, the only other option was a private jet.
"By the way, I could get a private jet. Then we could just fly wherever we want."
"But who here can fly a plane!"
Zhang Tian glanced at everyone.
Fatty was out of the question. Zhang Qilin was doubtful.
It was probably only Shirley Yang.
"By the way, Miss Yang, if I bought a plane, would you know how to fly it?"
Zhang Tian asked.
Shirley Yang shook her head.
"No, but I can learn."
As Shirley Yang spoke, Hu Bayi and Fatty's eyes lit up.
"That's right, boss! With our abilities, buying a plane would be much better than taking this piece of junk."
Fatty's eyes gleamed.
Zhang Tian nodded.
"BEEP~"
As Zhang Tian nodded, the train let out a whistle.
"By the way, Second Brother, you've been in seclusion. You only came out when we were about to depart. Did you gain any insights?"
Fatty curiously looked at Zhang Qilin.
Zhang Qilin's gaze fell on Fatty, and he slowly spoke.
"I've finished reading the Three Thousand Dao Scriptures, and my cultivation has also made some breakthroughs."
Zhang Qilin said.
Immediately, Hu Bayi and Zhang Tian both carefully examined him.
As expected, Zhang Qilin's cultivation had risen again.
He was close to the Dan-breaking stage.
Several times stronger than Zhang Tian.
Zhang Tian was dumbfounded.
Good heavens, truly a prodigy, a cheat of a person.
This past year was equivalent to a lifetime for others.
Fatty and Hu Bayi twitched their mouths.
Good heavens, this is too much. Is he about to break through again?
"As expected of Second Brother, he's amazing! Second Brother, please protect me."
Fatty chuckled, a hint of slyness in his eyes. He then moved a little closer to Zhang Qilin.
Zhang Qilin frowned slightly and moved a little further away from Fatty.
"Old Hu, what about you? Any gains in the past year!"
Zhang Tian looked at Hu Bayi.
He asked softly.
Hu Bayi smiled, glancing at Shirley Yang.
Stepping back, Old Hu began to show off.
"I've had quite a few gains this past year. The first is that my formation skills have improved. Both the Baban Dao arts and the Maoshan arts have seen some improvement."
"Also, my cultivation has reached the Grandmaster stage. Perhaps I can join the fray in the future."
As Hu Bayi spoke, Shirley Yang gazed directly at him.
Her eyes were full of satisfaction.
Now that she was cultivating, she understood how difficult it was to improve one's cultivation.
And for Hu Bayi to have reached the Grandmaster stage so quickly, it showed that his talent was quite impressive.
"As expected of Old Hu, he's improved too! It seems Fatty has to talk about his super talent."
Fatty gave a thumbs-up and then spoke.
Everyone's attention shifted to Fatty.
Good heavens, could this Fatty have made any major breakthroughs?
"Boss, Old Hu, Second Brother, Fatty has been like a rat eating medicine this year, skyrocketing."
"Fatty's cultivation has reached the late Grandmaster stage. However, my physical body has been strengthened, thanks to Fei Fei's nightly encouragement. It's all Fei Fei's credit."
As Fatty spoke, Zhang Tian rolled his eyes.
"Fatty, you shouldn't talk about your private videos. However, it's good that your physique has improved. It has reached that level."
Zhang Tian said softly.
Fatty was a little proud.
"Fatty can pinch bullets with his bare hands and even block them!"
Fatty said, very proudly.
Zhang Tian nodded. Reaching a certain level of physical strength was indeed powerful.
However, Fatty's current state was merely introductory.
"Yes, everyone has done very well. I won't say much about myself. My cultivation has improved a little, and I'm gradually becoming more proficient with the whisk. I believe this trip will be a bit more stable."
Zhang Tian nodded slightly.
Hu Bayi and the others smiled.
They were also happy for Zhang Tian that his cultivation had improved.
Zhang Tian then took out a compass.
After all, with his cultivation improving, his Qimen Dunjia and divination skills had also seen some breakthroughs.
Zhang Tian's calculations would certainly be more accurate.
Not like last time, when it was a bit off.
"Boss, are you performing divination?"
Fatty's eyes lit up.
"Yes, let's perform some divination. After all, the tomb we're going to search for this time is a bit dangerous."
Zhang Tian nodded.
He was not someone who would rest on his laurels just because his strength had improved.
Zhang Tian was always very careful in his actions.
After all, who didn't cherish their life? As for saying that cherishing life meant not going into tombs, Zhang Tian felt that was a different matter.
Entering tombs could improve one's strength, and improving oneself while preserving one's life was also perfectly fine.
As Zhang Tian began his divination, in Beili City.
On Longteng Mountain, a bolt of lightning struck.
It startled countless people.
And in the major families of Beili, almost instantly, countless people had questions in their hearts.
What was that lightning strike?
