After fulfilling Ye Wuji's mother's wish to see her son, Ye Tiancheng originally intended to discuss with Ye Wuji's mother how to send her back to her hometown, and to ask if she was willing to go with them.
Ye Tiancheng even felt that Ye Wuji's mother would definitely agree.
After all, she wanted to go home so badly.
However, to Ye Tiancheng's surprise, before he could even bring up the matter, Ye Wuji's mother displayed an expression of complete fulfillment of her desires, and then her figure gradually faded until she completely disappeared.
However, Ye Tiancheng did notice that Ye Wuji's mother had left them what they wanted and had not forgotten about the transaction.
Ye Wuji originally believed that he couldn't let Ye Tiancheng and the others help his mother for nothing, so a transaction was reasonable, and what was due should be taken. Therefore, when Ye Tiancheng communicated with Ye Wuji's mother, he did bring up the matter of soul transactions.
However, in his heart, Ye Tiancheng was still reluctant to use the souls of his relatives' companions for transactions.
Therefore, Ye Tiancheng only mentioned this matter once and did not bring it up again.
However, Ye Wuji's mother still remembered the matter and fulfilled her promise by leaving behind her soul fragments.
And it just so happened, perhaps this place was the little fox's opportunity.
Therefore, Ye Tiancheng was surprised to discover that even among Ye Wuji's mother's soul fragments, there was a portion that the little fox could use.
This way, the little fox's soul fragment collection progress could be said to be rapid.
It was estimated that it would not be long before they would no longer have any worries.
Ye Tiancheng was very surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt it was a good thing, so Ye Tiancheng did not say anything.
The little fox was originally a bit worried that Ye Wuji might not be able to accept this matter.
Moreover, the little fox had already prepared herself to refuse.
However, it was Ye Wuji himself who was very firm in his attitude, asking the little fox to definitely accept the soul fragments. Seeing Ye Wuji like this, the little fox knew he was sincere and also understood her own situation, so in the end, she accepted them.
And their next destination was Ye Wuji's mother's hometown.
Of course, not in reality. Ye Wuji's mother's hometown was definitely still within Xiaojing City. This fact indeed surprised Ye Tiancheng and the others, but Ye Tiancheng and the others also learned that Ye Wuji's mother was a native resident born and raised in Xiaojing City.
That was truly astonishing.
Although Ye Wuji's mother could not return to her hometown with them in a state where she could act on her own, Ye Tiancheng felt that since he had promised something to someone, he must do his best to fulfill it.
Therefore, no matter what, Ye Tiancheng would definitely make this trip.
After Ye Wuji's mother's soul gradually faded due to the fulfillment of her wish, it did not completely dissipate. Not to mention the soul fragments she left behind, after Ye Wuji's mother fulfilled her wish, something unexpected happened to Ye Tiancheng and the others.
At the same moment, the entire village that they could see was rapidly disappearing until it vanished from their sight.
The scene in Ye Tiancheng's eyes turned into desolate mountains and wild land, devoid of any human habitation.
And as Ye Tiancheng looked, he saw a lonely grave. From the inscription on the tombstone, they could recognize that this was indeed Ye Wuji's mother's grave.
Considering Ye Wuji's mother's wish, Ye Tiancheng and the others dug up Ye Wuji's mother's grave, took out her urn, and carried it with them, intending to let Ye Wuji's mother return to her hometown.
After all, this was also one of her wishes.
After obtaining the urn, Ye Tiancheng and the others set off.
Fortunately, before Ye Wuji's mother disappeared, she had mentioned where her hometown was and how to get home. Otherwise, for Ye Tiancheng and the others, it would have been another troublesome matter.
After all, without someone who knew, they could only wander around like headless flies.
Even with Ye Wuji, who was acting as her son, it was basically of no use.
After all, it should be known that Ye Wuji was very young when he left home, and his parents eloped. They had never mentioned the situation of their respective families to Ye Wuji.
Therefore, Ye Wuji had no idea where his mother's hometown was and could only shake his head.
Relying on the clues left by Ye Wuji's mother, Ye Tiancheng set off again.
They didn't know how long they traveled, but fortunately, they didn't encounter much danger along the way. It was only later that Ye Tiancheng realized that one of the reasons they didn't encounter many problems was that Ye Tiancheng himself had contracted a white dragon.
Therefore, Ye Tiancheng would carry the aura of the white dragon.
Thus, along the way, humans might not feel it, but humans could not trouble Ye Tiancheng and the few of them. As for non-humans, upon sensing the aura left by the white dragon, they would naturally stay far away from Ye Tiancheng.
After all, it should be known that dragons have considerable deterrence among non-humans.
And some of the humans living here had connections and communication with non-humans. Therefore, when they learned from the non-humans they knew that Ye Tiancheng and the others had a very powerful aura and were very difficult to deal with, they naturally made way for Ye Tiancheng and the others.
Those who dared to offend Ye Tiancheng and the few of them were generally those with no status and thus no channels to obtain such information.
Such existences, in front of Ye Tiancheng and the few of them, could not even make a ripple and were not worth mentioning. Therefore, Ye Tiancheng and the others could deal with them very easily, without any need to worry about anything.
Naturally, they would feel that the journey was uneventful and relatively easy.
Although Ye Wuji's mother appeared to be an ordinary person and lived an ordinary life with a very simple lifestyle, after learning about Ye Wuji's mother's background, Ye Tiancheng and the others knew that she was not simple at all.
After all, she was a native resident born and raised in Xiaojing City.
How could she be an ordinary person?
It was just that after she chose to leave home, she had given up her past.
And such mysterious existences were naturally not usually hidden in the city, but rather hidden in the wilderness. Ye Tiancheng and the others were heading to a deep mountain forest, located amidst the mountains.
Ye Tiancheng and the others trekked through mountains and crossed ridges. Often, they would even release the white dragon to help them travel.
And the white dragon, upon learning where Ye Tiancheng and the others were going, truly had some thoughts. She felt that her master might really collect all the divine artifacts, and it seemed to be heading in that direction.
The white dragon recalled carefully. If she remembered correctly, the place they were going to seemed to have a divine artifact, and this divine artifact was precisely the Divine Artifact Shennong Ding.
However, the white dragon did not mention this directly.
Firstly, the white dragon was not entirely sure if her memory was correct, and she was still somewhat uncertain.
As for the other aspect, the white dragon was not sure if her master had this intention and whether he wanted to obtain the Divine Artifact Shennong Ding. This was also a very difficult matter to say.
Moreover, there was an even more important issue.
That was, the white dragon was really not sure if the news about the Divine Artifact Shennong Ding being in that place was not known to other existences. And so many years had passed, it was possible that someone who knew about this matter had already taken the Shennong Ding, and there would be no chance for them to pick it up.
If she told her master about it, and they went there excitedly, only to find nothing, the white dragon thought about that scene and felt that she would lose a lot of face.
The white dragon was very unwilling to lose face in front of her master.
She valued her image very much and cared even more about her position beside her master.
Even though they all served the same master, the white dragon and the others knew that these existences would want to distinguish between high and low. Being equals was impossible, and it would never happen in this lifetime.
This was also the most important reason for the white dragon to keep her mouth shut.
Anything she spoke about in front of her master must be accurate. Otherwise, it would greatly affect her image, and the white dragon also worried that it would make her master doubt her abilities.
Therefore, even Ye Tiancheng and the others did not know that although this trip was not for the fragments of the Fuxi Qin, a new divine artifact was waiting for them ahead.
When Ye Tiancheng and the others arrived at the location, their first reaction was, of course, to find a place to settle down.
They must first have a place to stay to carry out the subsequent search work.
Because Ye Wuji's mother had guided them, it was not very difficult for them to find the entrance to Ye Wuji's mother's hometown, as Ye Wuji's mother had explained the situation very clearly at the time.
Ye Tiancheng and the others remembered the situation and smoothly found the place.
After some discussion, they decided to first establish a place to stay outside the entrance before going in.
If they could stay and settle down inside after entering, that would be the best. However, if things did not go as smoothly, as a fallback, they would still have a place to rest outside the entrance.
Ye Tiancheng and the others had planned very well.
They found a cave near the entrance. Seeing no signs of human activity or wild beasts, they protected the place and set up a barrier. This way, if they needed a retreat later, they could return here at any time.
Then, they truly arrived at the entrance to Ye Wuji's mother's hometown.
It could be seen that there was a teleportation array at the entrance.
It was just that they didn't know what restrictions and requirements this teleportation array had. Ye Tiancheng and the others decided to study it before taking action.
As for the research work, it was naturally mainly carried out by the little fox.
However, during this process, Ye Tiancheng and the others were waiting and discovered that spatial fluctuations appeared in the teleportation array at the entrance. Ye Tiancheng and the others immediately focused their attention on the teleportation array at the entrance.
Then, they personally saw a young girl wearing exotic clothing and adorned with many silver ornaments emerge from the teleportation array.
The girl also carried an empty basket on her back.
Looking at the girl's appearance, if she wasn't going out to pick wild vegetables, then she was likely going to pick herbs.
