Catching Monsters

Chapter 460 Want to play a game of chess with me?

Bai Mingfeng smiled and nodded, saying, "Let's go. As for your two companions, they can rest in Penglai for now..."

Bai Mingfeng led Jiang Yun out of the living room and saw that only Linglong was outside.

"Hey, where's Brother Hu Yi?" Jiang Yun asked, puzzled, seeing Linglong all alone.

"Hu Yi said he wanted to take a walk around the area." Linglong, however, got to the point: "Is there any progress on the matter of the elixirs and pills?"

"Yes, there are." Jiang Yun nodded, then said, "There are two locations right now, one called Yingzhou and the other called Fanghu."

Jiang Yun briefly explained the situation to Linglong and also clarified the differences between the two locations.

After listening, Linglong was slightly taken aback, looked at Bai Mingfeng, and asked, "Mr. Bai, does that so-called Yingzhou really have a magic medicine to save my father?"

"Yes, but you two can't get it," Bai Mingfeng said calmly. "Your strength is insufficient to take the elixir from the ferocious beasts there."

“I want to give it a try,” Linglong said without hesitation.

Hearing Linglong say this, Bai Mingfeng stared intently at Linglong, and then glanced at Jiang Yun beside her.

Jiang Yun took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Bai, we are not strong enough, but surely there are people on your Immortal Island who are strong enough to reach this level?"

"Could you please help me out?"

"Wait a moment." After saying that, Bai Mingfeng turned around and walked into the living room, closing the door behind her.

Inside the living room, Liu Boqing, who was quietly drinking tea, walked over quickly and said, "Mr. Liu, they want our help to retrieve the elixir from Yingzhou."

Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Liu Boqing's face, and he said, "That's normal, they came for this item."

Bai Mingfeng was slightly taken aback, somewhat puzzled, and said in a deep voice, "With their strength, going to Yingzhou would be tantamount to courting death."

“A few days ago, I entrusted Qi Tian to go to Yingzhou to see if she could bring back a longevity herb,” Liu Boqing said calmly.

This made Bai Mingfeng even more confused: "Since you were prepared to give this item to him in advance, why did you say that, and even asked him to go to Fanghu?"

“We already have three meteorites, but the other four are scattered in different places. This Jiang Yun might be able to help us find them; he is a man of good fortune.” Liu Boqing pondered for a moment and then said, “That’s why I sent him to Fanghu to help him out.”

Bai Mingfeng had heard rumors about Fanghu and knew about the special features of that place.

"The time is almost right. Go tell Jiang Yun about this condition. If he agrees, we'll find a way to give him what he wants."

"I understand." Upon hearing this, Bai Mingfeng walked out of the reception room. After seeing Jiang Yun and Linglong, she said in a deep voice, "I asked Mr. Liu, and he agreed that he could take the risk and let our people go to find the life-extending remedy for you."

"only……"

At this point, Bai Mingfeng stared intently at Jiang Yun and said, "Afterwards, you have to get the remaining four meteorites for us."

"Deal." Jiang Yun readily agreed, without hesitation and with a resolute tone.

Let's get the immediate tasks done first.

However, what puzzled Jiang Yun was that they only had three meteorites in their hands.

He wanted to ask what the meteorite was used for, but Bai Mingfeng led the two of them outside to find Hu Yi.

Meanwhile, somewhat out of place with this mysterious castle, there was a vegetable garden behind it, where various fresh fruits and vegetables were grown, and there were several thatched huts around it.

At this moment, there were still more than a dozen people busy in the vegetable garden.

Hu Yi was strolling around with his hands behind his back. Looking at the vegetables and fruits in the garden, he couldn't resist picking a cabbage and taking a bite.

The vegetables from this fairyland must have been imbued with divine energy.

"What are you doing?"

A voice rang out, and a middle-aged man in his forties jogged over, staring at Hu Yi and cursing, "Where did this stranger come from? How dare you steal the food of the Ten Directions Immortal!"

Hearing the middle-aged man's reprimand, Hu Yi was stunned. Sure enough, it was a dish fit for immortals. He hurriedly took a few more bites, smacked his lips a few times, and savored the taste.

Wait a minute, something feels off...

"I just fertilized this vegetable, and I'm amazed you can actually eat it." The Blood Fox King glared at Hu Yi with a dark expression.

“Yes, yes, yes.” Hu Yi slapped his forehead and said, “Look at me, I ate the vegetables from this garden, so should I be kept in this fairyland and made to grow vegetables for the immortals?”

"Brother, just detain me."

The Blood Fox King was taken aback, glared fiercely at Hu Yi, and thought to himself, "I went through so much trouble to stay here and grow vegetables."

This guy thinks he can just stay after taking a couple of bites of food? Does he really think Penglai accepts just anyone?
"Brother Hu Yi."

Hu Yi turned around and saw Jiang Yun's shout coming from behind him.

Jiang Yun and Linglong slowly walked over, led by Bai Mingfeng.

"Mr. Bai." The Blood Fox King was extremely respectful to Bai Mingfeng. After Bai Mingfeng nodded slightly, he said to Hu Yi and Linglong, "You two will stay in Penglai for the time being. I will take Jiang Yun to Fanghu."

"Okay, okay." Hu Yi was more than happy to oblige.

Bai Mingfeng instructed the Blood Fox King: "You are to entertain these two guests. Do not neglect them."

"Absolutely no negligence." The Blood Fox King nodded with a smile.

Then Bai Mingfeng whistled, and one of the cranes flying in the sky slowly descended and obediently squatted in front of Bai Mingfeng and Jiang Yun.

"Come up."

Bai Mingfeng floated lightly onto the crane, and soon Jiang Yun followed suit. The crane flapped its wings and slowly took flight, heading towards the white clouds surrounding the immortal island.

Once again, we passed through thick white clouds and returned to the surface of the sea.

What puzzled Jiang Yun was that the merchant ship carrying more than two hundred Imperial Guards had disappeared from the sea below.

"Mr. Bai, where is the merchant ship my men are on?" Jiang Yun asked.

Bai Mingfeng did not answer the question, but said calmly, "The Fanghu Land is a place where ordinary people need great opportunities to enter. I hope you will make the most of it."

As he spoke, Jiang Yun's pupils dilated slightly from a distance.

In the distance, there is a huge island sitting on the sea.

Above the island, there was a huge rainbow.

And on this island, there was a towering giant tree.

This tree is enormous, reaching straight into the sky.

From a distance, the diameter of this tree alone is probably four or five miles.

The closer you get, the more you feel the enormous and terrifying size of this tree.

This tree definitely didn't grow normally.

The entire island is lush and green.

The crane carried Bai Mingfeng and Jiang Yun, and soon they flew to the bottom of the giant tree, where there was a tree hole at the bottom.

The tree hole wasn't very big, only two meters high, and it was bottomless and pitch black inside.

"This is?"

"Go in. When you come out, a crane will guide you out from inside," Bai Mingfeng said calmly. "This is the place where you can obtain divine weapons."

Hearing Bai Mingfeng's words, Jiang Yun frowned slightly. Looking at the bottomless tree hole, Jiang Yun was also a little unsure.

Can……

Come here.

Jiang Yun tentatively stepped into the tree hole, but after only a few steps, when she turned around, the exit behind her had vanished without a trace.

gone!
What's happening here?
Jiang Yun frowned deeply, took a deep breath, and continued walking inside. After walking for about half an hour, the area in front of the tree hole finally began to open up.

This is a large, circular tree hole, estimated to be twenty meters in diameter.

An old man sat in the middle of the tree hollow.

The old man, dressed in a white robe and with a long beard, sat cross-legged on a round platform.

In front of them was a chessboard.

The old man had his eyes closed, as if he were asleep. The moment Jiang Yun entered the tree hollow, the old man slowly opened his eyes.

"Little friend, would you like to play a game of chess with me?"
