Chapter 960 Encounter a Backpacker

“Puff...” In the remote mountain of a famous cultivation ground in Huaxia, a young man was lying on the crown of a giant tree, playing with his mobile phone and spitting out a long green blade of grass in his mouth.

“John Doe beat another expert who reached the Completion of the peak of the ninth class after defeating Lin Rusheng. Why is he No.1 again? Last time, he became the No.1 among the younger generation. This time, he is the No.1 below the level of guru. The people in Wulin are really gossipy. They get all kinds of the first place involved in all the fights.”

The young man pursed his lips and muttered with a look of disdain, “The No.1 below the level of guru? Is this also an honor? He’s just below the level of guru. If I go out, all these people will be knocked down by me!”

After saying that, he snorted.

The young man looked at the scorching sun in the sky, then suddenly turned over and put his mobile phone in a secret place on the crown of the tree. Then he stood up, tiptoed, and immediately flew quickly toward the distant valley.

“He’s now No. 1 below the level of guru!” In Jiangjing, as a leading figure in the Jiangjing Wulin, Elder Yi had certainly been paying attention to this matter. However, he was old and was entangled with all kinds of matters, so he couldn’t watch the battle on the scene.

Although Elder Yi didn’t have the chance to watch the battle in person, he had been paying attention to John Doe’s every movement. He was also quite concerned about the competition for the No.1 below the level of guru.

As soon as the battle was over, Elder Yi immediately received the news that John Doe won.

“I didn’t expect him to have grown so much.”

Elder Yi remembered when he first saw John Doe, John Doe was auctioning the Earth Treasures in public, and he was the buyer. When he saw John Doe again, he witnessed John Doe’s rise all the way. At first, John Doe defeated Martial Superiors as a martial arts practitioner. Later, he defeated people stronger than him as the weaker one several times. Now, he was undefeated along the way.

At first, Elder Yi couldn’t figure out John Doe’s strength and only thought John Doe was a formidable expert.

However, no matter how unclear it was, Elder Yi somewhat knew some of John Doe’s strength because he knew him and got along with him for a long time.

When John Doe made it to No.1 below the level of guru, it was indeed a great shock to him and made him exclaim.

While the entire Wulin was shocked and everyone was talking about John Doe’s power, Fang Qiu had already got off the plane and stepped on the land of Qingning province.

After he walked out of the airport, Fang Qiu took a taxi and got out of the car when he reached the suburban areas. And then he went all the way into the hinterland.

Qingning province was a famous scenic spot in Huaxia, where there was a huge uninhabited area.

This uninhabited area was a Gobi Desert, which was roasting hot and water couldn’t be found at all. Even the gas station that had been set up was now completely scrapped because no one could survive in this place. Life there was too harsh.

Because of this, many people did not dare to enter the region.

Once getting out of the city, Fang Qiu went straight into the uninhabited area.

According to the clues obtained from the auction and the map on the clue, the Ambergris Grass ranked 8th on the Heaven Treasure List was located in the most famous place in Qingning province—Qinghai Lake!

Qinghai Lake sat in the northeast of the Qingzang Plateau in Qingning province, which was the largest inland lake and saltwater lake in Huaxia.

It was one of the sacred lands of Buddhism in Huaxia.

Many people came to worship Buddha all year round, and numerous people had been waiting for the spectacle in Qinghai Lake – Dragon Absorbing Water.

“Ambergris Grass, Dragon Absorbing Water?” Fang Qiu thought to himself as he moved forward, “Is there really a dragon in the Qinghai Lake? Otherwise, why are all the things related to dragons in that place?”

Fang Qiu also felt that his idea was too absurd.

How could there be a dragon in this world?

But if there were no dragons, how could they explain the dragon in the 12 Chinese Zodiacs?

As he was pondering, Fang Qiu moved forward swiftly in the uninhabited area.

“Pitter-patter...” Shortly afterward, Fang Qiu pricked up his ears and heard footsteps coming from the front.

He looked up and saw that there was actually a young man standing by the roadside ahead. Judged from his clothing, he was obviously a backpacker.

This person was wearing a rather thick protective suit. He was carrying a huge bag filled with stuff, which was even higher than his head.

Fang Qiu narrowed his eyes.

Then he showed a mysterious and playful smile.

“Hey.” He called out to the man.

“Hmm?” The young man turned around with an inverted triangle mask on his face. It seemed that he was wearing it to block the wind and sand, and his eyes looked as if he had gone through vicissitudes.

“Eh?” Seeing Fang Qiu, the young man was immediately startled and suspicious. He instantly became alert and stretched out his hand to his waist, holding an electric baton hanging around his waist.

Although Fang Qiu, who had disguised himself as John Doe, was not wearing a mask, he was dressed in black. He didn’t even bring a bottle of water, which inevitably aroused people’s suspicion.

“Don’t be nervous. I mean no harm.” Fang Qiu saw his worry and immediately waved his hand with a smile. He walked forward slowly and said, “I just passed by. I was a little curious when I saw you alone in this uninhabited area.”

“You passed by here?” The young man was still staring at Fang Qiu suspiciously.

“Yes, I’m going to Qinghai Lake.” Fang Qiu nodded.

The young man frowned and asked, “I’ll pass through Qinghai Lake. Do you want to go with me?”

“It’s good to have a companion,” said Fang Qiu with a smile.

“Do you want water or food?” The young man continued to ask warily.

“I don’t want anything,” Fang Qiu shook his head and said. “If you’re really worried, I’ll walk in front and you can follow me. Let’s talk while walking.”

Thinking of this, Fang Qiu immediately stepped forward and faced him with his back.

He knew that although these backpackers were easy to get along with, they were still very vigilant in the uninhabited area where accidents happened easily. After all, many backpackers had accidents in the uninhabited area, and most of them lost their lives.

Since the young man was suspicious, Fang Qiu knew that the more he said, the more suspicious the man would be. Hence, he simply left his back to him. In this way, he might win some of his trust.

As expected.

“Why are you going to Qinghai Lake?”

Seeing Fang Qiu walking to the front without hesitation, the young man looked around. After making sure that no one was around, he slightly relaxed, but he had been holding the electric baton on his waist.

“I have to go.” Fang Qiu didn’t look back and said directly, “What about you? Why are you alone in the uninhabited area?”

The young man pursed his lips and said, “Wherever I go, I make it feel like home. I’ve been to many places. This time, I really want to have a look at Qinghai Lake when I come to Qingning province. I also want to visit this uninhabited area. I don’t know if I’ll have another chance to come in the future.”

“Not only do we have the same destination, but we also share the same thought,” Fang Qiu smiled.

This uninhabited region was rumored to be too mysterious, making him eagerly want to come inside and take a look. Maybe he might encounter some good stuff.

Little did he expect that he would bump into a person instead of some treasure.

“According to what you said, you have been traveling and haven’t returned home for a long time, right?” asked Fang Qiu.

The young man nodded and said, “Yes, it’s been several years. I’ll go back this year after visiting several remaining places.”

Fang Qiu said, “I admire you. If I can, I also want to enjoy freedom like you, but everyone has their own destiny. I can’t do it even if I want to.”

The young man smiled, “Everyone has their own ambitions.”

It was hard to tell whether he was refuting or approving of Fang Qiu.

“In addition to traveling around, what is your biggest aspiration?” Fang Qiu seemed to ask casually.

“Aspiration?” As he was thinking, the young man actually walked up to Fang Qiu. He stared at Fang Qiu seriously and said, “Except for traveling, I don’t seem to have many aspirations. If I have to come up with something, I hope I can help more people.”

“What is your aspiration?” The young man turned to ask Fang Qiu.

Seeing the young man walking side by side with him, Fang Qiu smiled slightly.

Fang Qiu said, looking up at the sky. “My ambition is to make more people happy because of me.”

“Different paths lead to the same destination!” The young man smiled and looked at Fang Qiu with a complicated expression in his eyes as if he didn’t know whether he should believe in Fang Qiu or not.

The two were chatting along the way, having a good time.

Unknowingly, both of them walked out of the uninhabited area and came to the remarkably scenic Qinghai Lake.

In the distance, when seeing Qinghai Lake, the young man stopped walking and stared at it motionlessly, who seemed to be in deep thought.

Fang Qiu was waiting next to him.

After a while, the young man came to his senses, smiled at Fang Qiu, and then continued walking to the shore of Qinghai Lake.

They reached the shore of Qinghai Lake.

The young man began to walk around the lake, smiling while carefully observing the vastness of the world. The water of the lake was crystal-clear.

Fang Qiu’s eyes fell on a corner of the lake.

It was a grassy bank, connecting to the lake, which looked breathtaking.

Within the green grass, there was a trace of green light. Under the sunlight, there was a faint glow. At a glance, it looked as though there were water droplets flowing and rolling on it.

Ambergris Grass!

He took a closer look.

Under the green grass soaked in the lake, Fang Qiu could clearly see that there was a blade of green aquatic grass curling into a circle, which was not a normal flat leaf, but a blade of cylindrical emerald grass like a straw.

The whole plant was palm-sized.

It curled up like a large lollipop gently swaying in the calm water. ????????????r????????????. ????????????

“I’m leaving.” Just as Fang Qiu was immersed in watching the grass, the young man suddenly said.

He came over and said, “Qinghai Lake is too big. I want to walk around it and then continue my journey.”
