Chapter 936: Rainbow Mountain

Tang Hao was so immersed in the study of pill-making that he lost track of time.

When he put down the final jade page, he looked up and saw that it was already dawn outside.

He heaved a long sigh of relief and stood up.

He pushed the door open and walked out. At the same time, a beautiful figure came into the valley. Her white dress was stained with blood, which made for an unnerving sight.

She was startled when she saw Tang Hao. She immediately turned away and walked to her room.

“Wait!” Tang Hao stopped her. “Are you injured again?”

She stopped and stood there. “I’m fine. It’s just a small injury. I’ve already taken the medicine,” she said softly.

Tang Hao walked over and checked her wounds. There were injuries on her arms and legs, but they had all healed.

Those injuries were from fighting with ferocious beasts.

“You should be more careful!” Tang Hao cautioned her.

“Oh!” She replied softly.

The two looked at each other and could not find anything to say.

“I’ll… be going back to my room,” she finally said after a long while.

“Oh!” Tang Hao replied as though he had suddenly thought of something, “I’m leaving today… not home, but to the north.”

He had already decided that a long time ago. It was very hard to unseal the sixth chakra, and he would not be able to break through if he remained in the southern region. He had to wander around to look for opportunities.

“Oh,” she replied after being stunned for a while. The light in her eyes faded a little.

She felt hollow inside.

If he left, it would be a long time before she saw him again.

She pressed her lips and took a step forward. She hugged him tightly and muttered, “Take care!”

Tang Hao was startled by the sudden warmness in his arms. Following that, his primal instincts flared up. He could feel the smooth and thin skin across the thin fabric of the white dress.

Those supple and voluptuous curves were incredibly seductive.

It took him a while to calm down. “Don’t worry! I’ll leave the business here to you,” he said.

She grunted in agreement and hugged him tightly again before letting him go and going back into her room.

Tang Hao stood there for a long time. He sighed softly before turning around and walking away.

He understood her intentions, but someone else had already claimed his heart. Moreover, he was not sure he was going to reciprocate her love.

After returning to his room and tidying up, Tang Hao set off.

With Mu Xintong helping him, he did not have to worry about the matters in the store and could finally explore the world to his heart’s content.

He changed his appearance into a plain-looking young man and headed north.

The sun was shining brightly, and Tang Hao was in a very pleasant mood.

His horse casually trotted along the path.

“The most important thing is to unseal the sixth chakra. Oh, right, I’ll have to find a powerful Artifact too.”

Tang Hao planned ahead.

His biggest weakness was not having a powerful Artifact. If he met those prodigies in the real world, he would be at a disadvantage.

The prodigies were all from wealthy families, and they made up for their lack of talent with money. Tang Hao, on the other hand, was penniless when he first arrived in that world.

He was considered somewhat rich after working for some time, but his wealth was nothing compared to that of those people.

“I still need to work hard!” He lamented.

He shook the reins, and his white horse responded by neighing and galloping away.

Soon, he was out of the borderlands and entered the core southern region. Along the way, he would pass by a hundred kingdoms, collectively known as the Hundred Kingdoms of the South.

The Ye Kingdom was one of them.

Those so-called kingdoms were more like powerful families that staked out some land for themselves and called themselves a kingdom. The more powerful they were, the larger their territory.

The Ye kingdom was considered average among the hundred kingdoms.

Along the way, Tang Hao kept a low profile. He was not afraid of the Ye Kingdom. On the other hand, he was wary about the major sects like Primeval Mountain because those people were actively hunting him down in the southern region.

Previously, he had seen some of those cultivators in the other towns in the borderlands. They were asking around about what happened during the day Rainbringer was unearthed.

Seven days later, he arrived at a place called the You Kingdom.

He heard a piece of news while he was there.

“Did you hear? Rainbow Mountain is opening up again. People are already rushing over.”

“It’s been fifty years already? Let’s go and try our luck. I wonder what we can dig up this time?”

Tang Hao’s curiosity was piqued when he overheard the conversation in the tavern.

After that, he asked around for more information.

Apparently, Rainbow Mountain was a famous place in the southern region. The place was filled with a miraculous mineral known as rainbow crystals.

The mineral was like amber and could be used to coat items. An item coated in rainbow crystals would not decay for thousands of years.

Many ancient items were preserved in those rainbow crystals. Most of them were trash, but there were also many invaluable treasures.

The mountain was usually shrouded in a poisonous miasma. Every fifty years, the miasma would dissipate for a while, and people could go inside and dig for treasures.

When that happened, people from all over the southern region would swarm the mountain.

Every treasure found there would be extremely sensational.

“Treasures?”

Tang Hao’s eyes lit up.

He would have to check it out for himself.

Using the directions he had obtained, he set off for Rainbow Mountain without hesitation.

There was a small town right outside Rainbow Mountain. It was usually quiet and deserted, but it would be crowded and lively once every fifty years.

The people who went to the small town rode on various mounts, including mules, horses, and deer. Some were even riding lizards and crabs. It was an eye-opening experience.

From time to time, extravagant carriages that flashed with treasure light would speed past the masses and stir up clouds of dust. They looked extremely cool.

The other people would look at those carriages with envy and admiration.

Ordinary people could not afford carriages. The more luxurious the carriage was, the higher the status of the passengers.

“That’s from the Qing Kingdom!”

“The Cangwu Kingdom is here too!”

Those carriages shining with treasure light and carved with dragons were from the royal families of the Hundred Kingdoms.

“Look, that’s the Ye Kingdom!”

As Tang Hao rode on his horse and followed the crowd, he suddenly heard someone shout that. Soon, a black carriage sped past him.

It was a big carriage with ink dragons carved on it. It looked very majestic.

Tang Hao narrowed his gaze, which flashed with a cold light.

He had killed the crown prince and one of the lords. As far as he knew, the Ye Kingdom had been fervently looking for him.

A moment later, they arrived at the small town.

The town was filled with people. The inns were packed to the brim, and the taverns were filled with people.

“Come one, come all! Get the best quality pickaxes here. They’re only ten thousand crystals each!”

“Get your iron pickaxes here. Don’t miss out!”

The stores on both sides of the street advertised their pickaxes. Some were silver, and some were gleaming with golden light.
