Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2308 - 2264: Traveling for Training

"As long as you’re happy." Chen Yang smiled faintly and didn’t say anything more.

As for Tu Qi, he put on a very serious expression and went back to roasting the chicken.

After a while, he handed the roasted chicken, already brushed with seasoning, over to Chen Yang: "Brother Chen Yang, have a taste. I’m telling you, this chicken is really good. The flavor’s about the same as that rabbit we ate in Lingxi Town last time."

"Alright, I’ll give it a try."

Unable to refuse Tu Qi’s enthusiasm, Chen Yang didn’t decline. He accepted the meat with a smile and started tasting it.

The first taste that hit his tongue was the seasoning.

But after chewing carefully a couple of times, he slowly tasted the flavor of the meat itself.

It really was good, much tastier than ordinary meat.

"Mm, very good." Chen Yang nodded slightly, speaking with satisfaction.

"Heh heh, told you it was good. I’m telling you, lots of people want to eat this thing but can’t even get a bite." Tu Qi grinned smugly, then started wolfing it down himself.

The two of them just ate, drank, and chatted the whole afternoon away.

During that time, Chen Yang also talked about his next plans.

Right now his ranking in the academy had already reached eighth in the second region.

He had practically pushed it as far as it could go.

If he wanted to fight for a better cultivation environment, he could only try to sprint for the first region.

It was just that the conditions to enter the first region were far too harsh.

Not only did he need a late-stage Perfect Realm, he also had to wait another three-plus months.

Three months from now was when the challenge for the first region rankings would open.

So, for these three months, he practically had nothing in particular to do.

But he wasn’t the kind of person who could sit idle; he couldn’t relax doing nothing.

So he planned to go out and temper himself for a while.

In the academy, while cultivation resources were abundant, and just burying yourself in hard training would bring progress,

that kind of method wasn’t something Chen Yang liked. What he preferred was going through experiences, growing amid all sorts of dangers.

Besides, with this trip out to train, he could also broaden his understanding of the Mystic Realm.

The Mystic Realm was vast.

It was several times bigger than this world, and then some.

And Cangnan Academy was merely one force of the Southern Domain within the Mystic Realm.

In the Southern Domain, forces like this, if not in the hundreds, numbered at least in the dozens.

Each such power ruled over a territory of several thousand to tens of thousands of kilometers.

Facing such an immense heaven and earth, how could he not go out and get to know it?

Thus, Chen Yang wanted to go out and travel.

While tempering himself, he also hoped to broaden his horizons.

Chen Yang told Tu Qi all of his thoughts.

After listening, Tu Qi also got fired up.

"Brother Chen Yang, that’s a great idea. Going out to train is way more fun than staying cooped up in the academy." Tu Qi slapped his thigh, full of interest.

"When are you planning to leave?"

Tu Qi asked.

"I plan to rest for two days, then use all the contribution points I have on me to buy some useful things, and then set off."

Chen Yang said.

"Alright, then call me when you leave. I’ll head out for a walk too." Tu Qi said decisively.

Hearing this, Chen Yang was immediately surprised.

Because in his mind, with a body as fat as Tu Qi’s, he should belong to the homebody type. How could he be interested in this sort of thing?

"Tu Qi, are you serious? I might be going very far this time. Once we’re halfway there, there won’t be any turning back." Chen Yang said seriously.

But Tu Qi’s expression became even more serious: "Of course I’m serious. You think I’m joking with you?"

"Brother Chen Yang, to tell you the truth, don’t be fooled by how fat I look. In reality I’m really into this kind of training."

"You know why? Because my grandpa, my great-grandpa, my ancestor grandpa... all of them were heroes who roamed the world and rampaged across the land..."

Once the topic of training came up, it was like a switch had been flipped in Tu Qi. He started ranting nonstop.

He went on and on chirping at Chen Yang for quite a long time.

In any case, the final conclusion was that he was absolutely going, and insisted that Chen Yang must take him along.

Chen Yang had originally planned to go alone.

But since Tu Qi was so interested, of course he would bring him. Having a companion on the road was better than traveling alone.

So he agreed to Tu Qi, and after they finished chatting, Chen Yang left first.

Leaving Tu Qi’s courtyard, Chen Yang didn’t go back; instead, he headed for the Treasure Pavilion.

That fellow Fu Jinbao, seeing Chen Yang arrive, naturally couldn’t help but start making a fuss again.

"Little Brother Chen Yang, you’ve really opened my eyes. Too incredible."

"I, Fu, have rarely admired anyone in my life, but as for you, brother, I admire you so much I’m ready to prostrate myself."

...

Fu Jinbao went on and on, spouting rainbow-colored praise in a whole torrent.

Chen Yang didn’t really care.

Reputation was just empty name; what use was it?

After letting Fu Jinbao finish his boasting, Chen Yang immediately listed out all the things he planned to buy.

All the materials for refining Spirit Qi Liquid, plus some healing elixirs, Swift Travel Talismans, and a full set of other things he might need.

In one go he spent all the contribution points he’d earned from missions.

And it still wasn’t enough.

In the end, he even had to trade away a good item he carried on him before he barely scraped together enough to buy what he needed for the trip.

As for Fu Jinbao, his efficiency was also high.

In no time at all, he had everything Chen Yang needed packed up.

Chen Yang collected them all into his Purple Gold Gourd with a sweep.

"Heh heh, Brother Chen Yang, making such a lavish purchase in one go—are you planning some big operation again?" Fu Jinbao was very sly. Just from the huge amount of goods Chen Yang bought, he guessed that Chen Yang was likely leaving the academy.

"If you figure it out, don’t go blabbing. I’ve had plenty of people watching me lately; don’t bring me trouble." Chen Yang reminded Fu Jinbao with a smile.

Fu Jinbao’s face was full of cheer.

Chen Yang had just spent so many contribution points at his place; how could he not be happy?

"Heh heh, I naturally understand. Even if I’d leak anyone’s whereabouts, it definitely wouldn’t be yours." Fu Jinbao laughed.

"Mm, that’s fine then." Chen Yang rubbed his nose, then asked, "Oh right, do you have a map of the Southern Domain?"

"Map of the Southern Domain?"

Fu Jinbao was taken aback.

"Yeah. If you have one, get me a copy." Chen Yang nodded.

"I do have one, but what do you want that thing for?" Fu Jinbao asked in puzzlement.

"Going out for a walk." Chen Yang replied casually.

Quite a lot of people left the academy to train. As for the people in the first region, they were hardly ever seen in the academy; most of them had gone out to temper themselves.

Because their cultivation was deep, and they’d already seized the academy’s best resources.

Staying in the academy all the time, aside from hard cultivation, had no meaning at all.

And anyone who could enter the first region was a dragon among men. Naturally they wouldn’t be willing to sit in silence, just grinding away at cultivation.

So most of them went out to train.

Generally they only came back once or twice a year.

So among the academy’s upper echelons, this kind of thing was very common.

The reason Fu Jinbao was surprised was simply that he felt it was a bit of a pity for Chen Yang to rush out just as his name was starting to spread in the academy.

But this was the man’s own decision; he couldn’t interfere too much.

After an "oh," he went to fetch a precise map of the Southern Domain.

This map was huge, about one to two meters long and at least sixty centimeters wide.

On it were clearly recorded the regional divisions of the entire Southern Domain, along with some famous mountains, lakes, and seas. Many landmarks were marked out very clearly.

Chen Yang spread it open and took a look, and found himself very satisfied with the map.

For going out to train, carrying such a map was really quite necessary.
