However, Zhang Pingfan couldn't enter at the moment because when he attempted to step inside, a system pop-up appeared.
Ding! Tianwai Xuanxing Stone not found, entry prohibited.
Zhang Pingfan was directly ejected.
Well, it seems the大佬 who set this rule is quite capable.
No wonder there were so many people outside the inn but so few inside.
"So, what do we do now? Hei Huang, you're familiar with the Shenyu Continent. What do newcomers need to do, or what do people like us with a purpose need to do?"
"Of course, we need to find the Tianwai Xuanxing Stone. However, we can't search blindly. Although the Tianwai Xuanxing Stone can appear randomly in various corners of the Shenyu Continent, the Tianji Stone provides information every day, informing everyone of the general area where the Tianwai Xuanxing Stone has appeared!"
What the heck is a Tianji Stone?
Why does this Shenyu Continent love using stones so much?
"Master, don't worry, I'll take you there. This thing can be used for free; everyone can use it!"
Zhang Pingfan breathed a sigh of relief; at least they could get a general direction.
However, Zhang Pingfan didn't forget his other task for this trip.
Finding Widow Wang's husband.
But this kind of search, like finding a needle in a haystack, was definitely not feasible.
According to the hints in the mission details, Widow Wang's husband's name was Hu Hansan...
"System Miss, can you be more rigorous when naming things? What kind of name is Hu Hansan? It's too chuunibyou!"
【Ding! I like it, I'm happy to do it!】
"Alright, you win! But just knowing a name makes it hard to find someone. There are no other mission hints. How am I supposed to find him?"
【Ding! Friendly reminder: the name Hu Hansan is unique on the Shenyu Continent!】
On the Shenyu Continent, having such a chuunibyou name only once indeed reduced the difficulty significantly.
Led by Hei Huang, the group arrived before the Tianji Stone.
The so-called Tianji Stone was actually a game query system.
This query system was actually present in all three major factions and Pingfan City, but players generally didn't use it for queries because it was very expensive to use.
Each use required one gold coin, and it could query a player's specific location, or the respawn time and location of bosses.
Anyone with a sound mind wouldn't use this function; it was too expensive, 10,000 per use, who could afford that?
However, it was different when they came to the Shenyu Continent; this thing was almost free to use.
But this thing could only query the general range of the Tianwai Xuanxing Stone; other functions were unavailable.
Perhaps because it could only query the general range of the Tianwai Xuanxing Stone, no fee was required.
Zhang Pingfan reached out and touched it. Coincidentally, the Tianwai Xuanxing Stone had not been obtained or appeared today, but a general range was already provided.
"Where is this place called Jiuchongtian?"
Hei Huang frowned.
Everyone looked at Hei Huang, as he was the most familiar with the Shenyu Continent.
"Hei Huang, what's going on? What's with that place?"
"That place can be considered a domain exclusively for the strong. The lowest level of Nine Realms War Gods there is 95. Those below level 95 are not qualified to be in Jiuchongtian! Except for the Master, the rest of us are below level 95. If we really go there, we might provoke widespread anger!"
Zhang Pingfan thought it was a big deal, but it was just a rule set by those guys.
"It's fine, just stay behind me. Since I said I would lead you to become peak Nine-Tier powerhouses, do you think I need to shrink back from such a small problem?"
"Hei Huang, you're looking down on the Master's strength. The Master brought us here to improve our strength, so we can't avoid difficult places, right? How can we improve our abilities like that?"
"Yeah, what's there to be afraid of? Stand firm against the wind when frozen, never bow your head when starved, let's just do it!"
After being chided by the others, Hei Huang felt a bit ashamed. It was his problem; the Shenyu Continent had given him quite a bit of trauma, so he was a bit scared!
Zhang Pingfan patted Hei Huang on the shoulder.
"Since you've all followed me, how can I let you be wronged? Let's go, lead the way!"
"Yes, Master!"
Hei Huang nodded and then walked ahead of everyone.
With Hei Huang's introduction, the Shenyu Continent was vast. If they relied solely on walking, they would surely exhaust themselves. Therefore, there were teleportation points in each area.
Led by Hei Huang, Zhang Pingfan finally saw the first teleportation NPC on the Shenyu Continent.
Upon closer inspection, Zhang Pingfan almost thought the teleportation NPC was about to die of old age.
White-haired, emaciated, lying motionless on a chair.
Hei Huang was very polite.
"Senior, we several people wish to go to Jiuchongtian!"
As a result, the teleportation NPC didn't even move.
Then Hei Huang respectfully called out a few more times, but still received no response.
Zhang Pingfan frowned.
"Is this person dead? They're not moving, like a skeleton!"
Hei Huang knew his master was powerful, but the teleportation NPC before him was even more monstrous. It was rumored to be above the peak Nine-Tier powerhouses.
"Master, you can't speak ill of this person. We'll need to rely on him for teleportation in the future. He's also the only one here with teleportation abilities!"
Zhang Pingfan was annoyed.
"Damn it, I called him so many times and he didn't respond. I thought he was dead."
Others might indulge this old man, but Zhang Pingfan wouldn't.
Zhang Pingfan, holding Erha, walked up to this old NPC.
"If you're not dead, hurry up and stand up. Didn't you see we want to teleport to Jiuchongtian? Hurry up!"
Zhang Pingfan's tone was unpleasant. After all, anyone's mood wouldn't be good when being kept waiting, so how could they be in a good mood?
Only then did the old man slowly open his eyes.
"You few low-level Nine-Tier War Gods are not qualified to go to Jiuchongtian, and you are even less qualified!"
After speaking, he ignored Zhang Pingfan and the others, even turning his head to the side.
"Hey, my temper is getting the better of me!"
Zhang Pingfan walked forward and kicked him.
The teleportation NPC, along with the chair, was sent flying by Zhang Pingfan's kick.
*Bang!*
With a bang, the chair disintegrated, and the teleportation NPC fell onto the ground in a heap.
"Hurry up and teleport me, or if you don't, it won't just be a kick; I'll beat you so badly your own mother wouldn't recognize you!"
At this moment, the teleportation NPC was filled with terror. He had clearly reacted just now.
He had already preemptively blocked his leg, yet he didn't expect to be the one flying.
Zhang Pingfan looked at the old man staring at him blankly with annoyance.
"I'll count to three. If you still don't come over, I'll unleash the dog to bite you!"
When the teleportation NPC looked at the leisurely-strolling Ritian, his heart completely collapsed.
