At this moment, what unfolded before Zhou Yu’s eyes was a lush and endlessly stretching mountain range.

From the perspective of scenery alone, the environment here could rival any beautiful landscape on the Human Clan Plane.

Moreover, the density of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power here far exceeds that of Black Sand City and Tiangang City.

Standing here, Zhou Yu felt as though all the pores on his body were opening up, a feeling of indescribable ease.

However, Zhou Yu dared not feel any sense of relaxation.

In fact, he became more vigilant.

Because this place is not as quiet and harmonious as it appears on the surface.

This place has an exclusive name, called Death Tomb Valley.

Death Tomb Valley is located at the junction of the Human Race and Demon Race territories.

Over many years, this place has assembled many elites from both the Human and Demon Clans to duel here.

They consider each other as trial opponents.

Therefore, countless experts from both races have died here.

According to ancient texts, this Land of the Dead Tomb seems small but actually spans hundreds of millions of kilometers.

With Zhou Yu’s current late Nascent Soul stage peak strength, if one disregards dangers from other aspects, it would still take more than half a year to cross the Land of the Dead Tomb at full speed.

Of course, ignoring other dangers is impossible.

Danger lurks everywhere here.

Not to mention Nascent Soul stage, even masters of the Divinity Transformation realm could fall accidentally.

Of course, such a vast area naturally has its power struggles.

There are many cities, large and small, in the Land of the Dead Tomb.

Of course, many of them, claiming to be cities, are merely stopping points.

True cities are less than five in number.

And at this moment, the city closest to Zhou Yu was named Xishui City.

According to Zhou Yu’s understanding, Xishui City originally belonged to the Demon Clan, but tens of thousands of years ago, during a conflict between the Human and Demon Clans, the city fell to human hands.

Since then, the city has become a foothold for humans venturing into the Demon Race Land.

Its scale has grown increasingly larger.

At this time, Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and then decided to first take a tour of Xishui City.

Although he had learned quite a bit about the Demon Race Land from ancient texts,

ancient texts only provide a general idea. To truly understand the situation here, he must obtain information in the city.

Having made up his mind, Zhou Yu chose a direction and then hurried toward Xishui City.

Three days later, Zhou Yu finally arrived at Xishui City.

The scale of Xishui City was much larger than that of Tiangang City, but its buildings were mainly low and dilapidated.

Zhou Yu quickly understood why.

Although Xishui City was controlled by humans, the Demon Clan would come here from time to time to cause destruction, thus building many fine structures would instead attract hostility.

Over time, Xishui City took on the current form.

However, the flow of people here was no less than in Tiangang City.

And as Zhou Yu observed for a while, he noticed that more than half of the cultivators here were Body Refining Masters.

Aside from Tiangang City, Zhou Yu had never seen so many Body Refining Masters before.

It seems that the ancient texts were not wrong.

Nowadays, many Body Refining Masters choose to strengthen their physical bodies by consuming and refining the bloodlines of high-ranking demons.

This practice surely incites the hatred of the Demon Clan.

Over time, the hatred accumulates and deepens, becoming irreconcilable!

Zhou Yu continued walking as he thought, while also inspecting the surroundings.

At this moment, a thin-faced man who appeared to be in his thirties quickly approached Zhou Yu.

He respectfully said: 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Esteemed senior, my name is Tang San. Seeing how you appear, it must be your first time in Xishui City. I grew up here and can be your guide if you need."

"My fee isn’t expensive; just give me a little at your discretion, senior."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu was slightly taken aback, then scrutinized Tang San in front of him.

This person, although a Body Refining Master, was only at the first level of the realm.

Moreover, his physique seemed to be quite loose, clearly not honed through hard work; he probably improved forcefully by ingesting Pill Medicine.

Such a person might not even be able to defeat a slightly stronger mortal.

However, the look in his eyes was sharp.

He seemed to be an expert at gauging people’s expressions.

Zhou Yu didn’t refuse either.

He calmly said:

"Indeed, I need a guide."

"But let me say it upfront: if I find out that you’ve deceived me or have any ulterior motive, the consequences will be serious, and you won’t be able to bear them."

Upon hearing this, Tang San quickly responded with a sycophantic smile:

"Senior, I understand these rules."

"Rest assured, I absolutely won’t deceive you, esteemed senior!"

Zhou Yu nodded.

"Good."

"I’ve heard the magic artifacts in Xishui City are quite famous; show me around!"

Upon hearing this, Tang San immediately said with pride:

"Senior, you’ve really come to the right place."

"Although other things in Xishui City are just so-so, when it comes to magic artifacts, they definitely rank top three among all human cities."

"After all, one of the Human Race’s Five Great Venerables, Haoyuan Heavenly Venerate, before he became famous, relied on his exceptional Artifact Refining Technique, crafting a set of top-tier magic artifacts in Xishui City."

"Later, he used this set of artifacts to defeat a direct descendant of a True Spirit from the Demon Clan, rising to fame overnight, and quickly becoming one of the Human Race’s Five Great Venerables."

Tang San spoke passionately, saliva flying, his face full of admiration.

And Zhou Yu also showed a look of surprise.

These matters he hadn’t heard of before.

"Since Haoyuan Heavenly Venerate, Xishui City has been renowned for its quality magic artifacts."

"By the way, in three months, there will be a grand auction in Xishui City, where top-tier magic artifacts are said to be auctioned."

"Recently, numerous cultivators from other places have traveled great distances just for this auction."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu thoughtfully nodded.

"Alright, I’ll go and see then."

Upon hearing that Zhou Yu planned to go, Tang San instantly became excited.

"Senior, I have inside information about this auction..."

Tang San’s words were interrupted by Zhou Yu directly.

"Tell me about other things in Xishui City!"

One sentence from Zhou Yu changed the topic completely.

Tang San was somewhat frustrated but did not dare disobey and had to comply before starting his introduction to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu listened while calculating in his mind.

This time he came to the Demon Race Land with the intent of focusing on cultivation.

Naturally, he did not plan to stay long in the city.

Therefore, he intended to prepare some trump cards before leaving.

Although magic artifacts are specifically designed for Body Refinement practitioners, and Zhou Yu’s cultivation realm had already been restored, logically he should be using Magic Treasures rather than magic artifacts.

But the reality is, Zhou Yu was currently short of funds and could not afford a good Magic Treasure, so he could only set his sights on magic artifacts.

After all, his Body Refinement Path wasn’t bad either.

Just as he was thinking this, Tang San led Zhou Yu into a magic artifact shop.

"Senior, see if there’s any magic artifact you fancy here?"
