Su Tong shook his head and declined Danyun Peak's invitation to join Dan Xin Sect.
"He actually declined!"
"Declined directly to the elder, how could he?"
"That's an elder of Dan Xin Sect! How can he say no?"
"The guy is so powerful!"
Seeing Su Tong directly refuse, the disciples were shocked that he had declined such a high position in Dan Xin Sect.
That was an elder position in Dan Xin Sect.
In Fallen Maple City, countless people dreamed of becoming an elder of Dan Xin Sect but did not have the ability.
Yet Su Tong had declined.
Only Su Tong knew that accepting would bind him to Dan Xin Sect.
Like in Crimson Rainbow Sect, there would be many times when he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
So this time, Su Tong chose to refuse.
Danyun Peak could only nod helplessly, "Little friend Su Tong has lofty ambitions, not limited to Fallen Maple City. I can understand."
"Haha, Su Tong just wants to travel around and gain experience!"
Su Tong laughed.
That was true.
The purpose of coming to Central Territory, besides sightseeing, was to gain experience.
"Then I won't keep little friend Su Tong," Danyun Peak knew Su Tong's ambitions were not just in Fallen Maple City.
This was probably just a passing visit, wanting Su Tong to stay would be difficult.
After some small talk, Su Tong received the Holy Flame Cauldron.
He had saved a lot of Spirit Condensing Pills this time.
Su Tong then bid Danyun Peak farewell.
After leaving Dan Xin Sect, Su Tong went to Pill Seeking Hall.
He looked for some pill refining materials, mainly for Refining Spirit Pill.
He was going to buy them directly from Dan Xin Sect at first.
But worried Danyun Peak wouldn't accept money again, Su Tong could only buy them here.
In the end, Hui Tian also declined Su Tong's money.
"This..."
Su Tong was helpless.
This time in Fallen Maple City, besides the few hundred thousand Spirit Condensing Pills from the Evil Spirit Sect Leader,
There were also two 9th grade Spirit Void Realm demon spirits from Evil Spirit Sect,
And the 5th grade Holy Flame Cauldron from Dan Xin Sect,
As well as pill recipes ranging from 1st to 5th grade.
The harvest was plentiful.
"Roar!"
After leaving Fallen Maple City, the little cat in Su Tong's arms landed and transformed into a Lightning Crystal Beast.
Su Tong immediately leapt onto the Lightning Crystal Beast's back without hesitation.
Transforming into a flash of red lightning, they sped off into the distance.
...
Su Tong didn't have a destination this time.
After all, he had just arrived in Central Territory and didn't have any family or friends.
"I asked the Dan Sect Leader earlier, the nearest mid-level city nearby is Tianhu City. Let's go take a look when we get there!"
Su Tong now had a plan.
The previous Fallen Maple City only had two major powers, it could only be considered a low-level city.
While the nearby Tianhu City was a mid-level city.
According to Danyun Peak, this mid-level city had at least three powerful forces, each with at least one peak Spirit Void Realm master.
Tianhu City had five major powers, all with peak Spirit Void Realm masters presiding over them.
"For a mid-level city to have peak Spirit Void Realm masters, then high-level cities should have Divine Spirit Realm experts. Super cities probably even have Divine Soul Realm experts!"
Su Tong was very curious now.
However, Tianhu City was quite a distance away.
Even with the Lightning Crystal Beast's speed, it would take at least a day to arrive.
"I should've asked for a map earlier, that was an oversight!"
Looking at the forest before him, Su Tong was a bit helpless.
He had entered this forest since daytime but still hadn't found his way out.
It was already evening, and Su Tong could only spend the night in this forest for now.
"Roar!"
The Lightning Crystal Beast roared.
Then it raced forwards quickly.
But there was still no sight of the way out.
Su Tong wasn't worried, no matter how big, this forest couldn't possibly cover the entire Central Territory right?
Just keep going and they'd eventually get out.
"Alright, it's late. Let's rest here for the night!"
Su Tong patted the Lightning Crystal Beast.
It obediently stopped.
Unable to get out of the forest, Su Tong didn't hurry. He sat down and started cultivating.
Closing his eyes, spiritual energy gushed madly into Su Tong's body.
"Whew, so tiring. How much longer until we get out of this place?"
Not long after Su Tong closed his eyes to cultivate, a voice rang out.
This made Su Tong frown slightly.
Barely starting his cultivation only to get disturbed, it made Su Tong very unhappy.
"It should be soon, Miss. Let's keep going!"
After the first voice, a middle-aged male voice responded.
Then several footsteps approached Su Tong.
"Roar!"
At this time, the Lightning Crystal Beast beside Su Tong also seemed disturbed.
It roared towards the direction of the footsteps.
"A demon beast!"
Hearing the roar, the group of people also became alert.
Then they noticed the Lightning Crystal Beast and Su Tong beside it.
"Someone's here!"
One of them yelled loudly.
Soon, seven people walked towards Su Tong.
The leader was a burly middle-aged man, seemingly quite powerful based on his aura.
Su Tong sensed he had already entered the Spirit Void Realm.
Beside the middle-aged man was a beautiful young woman, the only woman in the group. Her long hair fluttered gracefully and her exquisite face could be seen to be beautiful even in the night.
However, the young woman's arm was wrapped in cloth, stained with blood, apparently injured.
Looking at the others, they also had some injuries on their bodies.
The leading middle-aged man looked at Su Tong, then the Lightning Crystal Beast. His expression was solemn.
Someone able to tame such a powerful Lightning Crystal Beast must not be simple.
"Apologies for disturbing your cultivation, we are just passing by!"
The middle-aged man cupped his fists at Su Tong.
Su Tong looked at him and shook his head slightly.
"Uncle Lu, let's hurry! That guy will catch up!"
The beautiful young woman beside the one called Uncle Lu urged.
"Alright!"
Uncle Lu nodded.
Then he spoke to Su Tong again, "Little brother, we were just chased by a Mystical Cloud Gu Water Beast. That demon beast is 3rd grade Spirit Void Realm. It will likely track us here, you should leave quickly too!"
Only then did Su Tong look over. He didn't expect the middle-aged man to give him a warning even while escaping!
