Chapter 282: Fallen Moon Gorge
Translator: Reverie_ Editor: Kurisu
A palace hall naturally couldn't block the road; in actuality, the Star Brilliance Palace Hall was situated inside a gorge . This gorge was the path that had to be taken from the Nine Nations of the Desolate North to the north region .
This gorge was called the Fallen Moon Gorge . According to legends, this was originally a tall mountain, and the north region ended here . There was no way of crossing it because on top of the mountain a terrifying presence circulated, and even Spiritual Infant Tier cultivators would fall victim to it .
However, an unknown number of years ago, the night sky's moon suddenly fell, chopping the mountaintop into a gorge, and thus it received the name of the Fallen Moon Gorge .
It was precisely this gorge that opened up a road . Some courageous martial artists passed through the gorge to enter the primitive areas . Through continuous battles with beasts, the Nine Nations of the Desolate North were established at last, expanding the north region's territory .
Now, the tall mountain was still insurmountable, so one could only walk through the Fallen Moon Gorge . Therefore, this place was extremely lively . Every day, there were large amounts of martial artists that came from the Nine Nations, wanting to widen their horizons, and some martial artists that returned from the north region, going back to their homes .
Moreover, there were large amounts of merchants that brought specialty products of Nine Nations of the Desolate North to the north region or vice versa; the profits were great, but their endeavor was extremely dangerous because the land outside of the Nine Nations of the Desolate North was a lawless area, where robberies and killings happened at every moment .
From here to the Star Brilliance Palace Hall was only half a day's travel, but this part of the road was also the most dangerous .
Fortunately, the two carriages belonged to 'Storm Mercenaries,' an extremely strong force in the Fallen Moon Gorge region . Normally speaking, no one would dare get any ideas about a cart with the Storm Mercenaries' flag .
Ling Han carried Hu Niu and sat on top of the carriage . In his previous life, he spent most of his time in the pill refining room, studying; only in his "late years" did he walk outside to into venture historic sites, increasing his knowledge .
In this lifetime, he didn't plan on missing out on various extraordinary sights .
At this moment, they already entered the Fallen Moon Gorge . The two sides had steep cliffs that towered like clouds . Ling Han activated the Eye of Truth, but he still couldn't see the mountaintop, yet he could see the vicious Qi that was emitted on the mountain walls .
This presence made even him feel somewhat nervous . In other words, even if he'd come here with the Heaven Tier's strength, he also would have to be very careful; it looked like the legend was not just a legend, having a certain degree of truth to it .
However, what surprised Ling Han was that underneath the gorge were fields of medicinal ingredients, growing very well .
"These medicinal ingredients planted here won't be stolen?" Ling Han asked, feeling it strange .
Guang Yuan stepped up having heard that . "No one dares . These medicinal fields are allotted by the Star Brilliance Palace Hall to farmers to plant . If anyone dared steal medicine, they'd be arrested by the Star Brilliance Palace Hall's order . Bandits don't dare steal, either, because they need medicinal pills too and if those with money won't sell it, what can they do?"
Ling Han couldn't help but laugh; alchemists were certainly a group that exceeded the norms . It was no wonder alchemists were all proud—no matter how strong a martial artist was, they couldn't do without medicinal pills, naturally feeding the arrogance of alchemy masters .
The carriage advanced slowly, and after a while, suddenly the sound of dispute was heard ahead .
Though Ling Han didn't like meddling in other people's business, he could do nothing about his increased cultivation that strengthened his hearing . Even if he didn't want to hear it, he still did as the voices of dispute drifted here .
"This price is really too low . Not only can we not make money, but also we'll sustain losses!"
"Young Master Fu, show some compassion, and take it as following last year's price . "
"Hmph, we want to see Chief Luo . How come the price is lower year after year, how do you expect us farmers to live?"
