An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

Chapter 539 Pathfinding

"Do you know the way?"

The spirit boat flew for a day and a night, until they saw the sea in the distance, and Ji Qinglu realized that they had taken the wrong path.

The place where southern Xinjiang is located is called the Ten Thousand Mountains. She knows this common sense.

“I haven’t been there.”

Shi Jiuan knew he was in the wrong and had no confidence at all when he responded.

In order to thank Ji Qinglu for taking her with her, Shi Jiuan volunteered to control the spirit boat. She thought she could reach southern Xinjiang by heading southwest, but she saw the sea before the mountains.

Ji Guan'er originally wanted Lingzhou to take a detour and return to the Ji family first, but the two girls unanimously rejected it.

Although Ji Guan'er was a powerful figure in the Ji family, he had the least say on this spiritual boat. Helplessly, he simply lay down on the bow and fell asleep.

Hearing Ji Qinglu's call, Ji Guan'er slowly stood up, looked ahead, and glanced at the direction of the sun.

He pointed to the side and said casually, "Over there."

"Grandpa, do you know the way? Don't point blindly!"

Ji Qinglu didn't have much confidence in this outdated elder of the clan.

"Do you really think that Great Grandfather lived all these years in vain? When Great Grandfather was traveling all over the country, your father wasn't even born yet!"

Ji Guan'er stroked his sparse goatee on his chin, and he looked like a master.

Shi Jiuan didn't know what to do. After hearing what Ji Guan'er said, he turned the boat around and headed in the direction Ji Guan'er pointed.

Sure enough, after only walking for half a day, the three of them saw endless green hills.

The two girls were overjoyed and rushed to inject spiritual power into the spirit boat to speed it up.

"This is just the edge. You'll understand once you get there. Trying to find someone in these vast mountains of southern Xinjiang is like looking for a needle in a haystack!"

Ji Guaner's pour of cold water made the two women's faces become heavy again.

For the first time ever, Ji Guan'er did not try to comfort Ji Qinglu. Instead, he stood straight at the bow of the spirit boat, looking down on all living beings with a heroic look.

"Senior, you are very knowledgeable. You must have a solution, right?"

Shi Jiuan was a man of insight. Seeing Ji Guaner like this, he immediately complimented him.

Seeing how clever other children were, and then looking at Ji Qinglu who still had a sad face, Ji Guaner couldn't help but sigh, "I'm so disappointed in you."

However, when he thought of his great-granddaughter's life experience, Ji Guan'er began to feel distressed again.

"In the past, I traveled extensively and made friends with many great men of the time, including a Gu Clan expert!"

"Then you didn't tell me earlier!"

Ji Qinglu turned sadness into joy.

Only then did she realize that her great-grandfather had been keeping her in suspense on purpose. So, in addition to joy, she felt a little annoyed. If the news wasn't so good, she would have pulled the old man's beard out.

"Senior, what should we do next?"

Shi Jiuan was not as expressive as Ji Qinglu, and asked calmly about the direction of the spirit boat.

"This way!"

Ji Guan'er pointed to the front right, and Shi Jiuan quickly adjusted the direction.

As soon as she entered the Ten Thousand Mountains, Ji Qinglu felt dizzy. There were towering mountains and dense forests everywhere, and they all looked the same.

Ji Guan'er carefully identified the direction, kept giving instructions, and was very attentive.

He could naturally see that his great-granddaughter had been bewitched by the boy named Xu Fu. If she really watched this boy die, it would definitely affect her mood.

Once your state of mind is damaged, it is hard to say what it will become in the future.

So, this kid must be saved!

However, when he thought about Ji Qinglu crying and making a fuss for Xu Fu and risking her life to go to southern Xinjiang, Ji Guan'er felt a little jealous. He had never seen her care so much about him, his great-grandfather.

"You can't stay in college if you're a female student!"

Ji Guan'er sighed inwardly.

"By the way! You must remember, when you get there, you must not mention the word 'gu'!" Ji Guan'er suddenly remembered something and hurriedly reminded.

"why?"

Ji Qinglu didn’t understand. Since they were the “Gu Clan”, why didn’t they allow people to mention “Gu”?

"They have always worshipped the ancient witch god and called themselves 'descendants of the witch god.' It's only because they are skilled in witchcraft that outsiders call them the 'Gu tribe.' Many of them are still very taboo about this."

"I see!"

The two girls finally understood the reason and were glad that they were traveling with the old man.

……

"Grandpa! Tell me the truth, do you know the way?"

Three days later, Ji Qinglu's "ferocious" roar was heard from an unknown hill in southern Xinjiang.

"Of course I know!" Ji Guan'er no longer had the confidence to speak at this time. Facing Ji Qinglu's questioning, his old face turned red and he answered in a low voice.

"Then why haven't you found it yet?"

The three days of searching finally exhausted all of Ji Qinglu's patience. She grabbed Ji Guan'er's beard and shouted loudly in his ear.

“It hurts, it hurts… Gently! Gently!”

Ji Guan'er begged bitterly.

"Tell me! Why?"

Ji Qinglu still refused to let go, she was very anxious. She could wait, but Xu Fu couldn't.

Looking at the dwindling number of detoxification pills, Ji Qinglu felt as if Xu Fu's life was disappearing bit by bit in her hands.

"Let go first! Let go first!"

Hearing Ji Guan'er's cry, Ji Qinglu finally let go of her hand, but the anger in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

"I haven't been here for decades. The original marks are gone!" Ji Guan'er said a little aggrievedly, touching his beard that was almost pulled out.

When Ji Qinglu heard this, her expression became even uglier.

Shi Jiuan also felt very disappointed, but she did not vent her emotions like Ji Qinglu. Instead, she rethought what to do next.

"Then... are there any other clues?" Shi Jiuan asked seriously. Among the three of them, only Ji Guan'er had been to southern Xinjiang. Even if he could get a little clue, it would be much better than running around like a headless fly.

"I remember that their tribe was not big, and you could see a three-pointed mountain when you looked up..." Ji Guan'er recalled carefully.

"Sanjianshan?"

The two girls were cheered up when they heard this.

"That mountain has three peaks that are very close together, and the middle one is slightly higher..."

"I see!"

Shi Jiuan suddenly thought of something and immediately started to control the spirit boat.

"What do you know?"

Ji Qinglu was startled by Shi Jiuan, and was then thrown aside by the spirit boat's rapid turn, hitting the inner wall of the spirit boat heavily.

"I've seen that mountain!" Shi Jiuan said with certainty.

“Why didn’t I see it!”

Ji Qinglu frowned. She had been traveling with Shi Jiuan all the way, but she had no idea that there was such a mountain.

Shi Jiuan did not answer, but focused on controlling the spirit boat to move forward.

"It's right there!" After about an incense stick of time, Shi Jiuan suddenly pointed ahead and shouted.

"where?"

Ji Qinglu looked in the direction Shi Jiuan pointed, but still did not see the mountain with three sharp peaks.

Shi Jiuan turned his wrist and the spirit boat changed its direction slightly.

A small hill with three sharp peaks slowly appeared in front of the three people.
