I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 175: Reminder

Sitting in an ordinary, even somewhat shabby and simple living room, Qu Hong pondered without immediately speaking.

This manager of West Mountain Collection has seen countless people of all kinds.

But rarely someone like Zhang Yuan.

Since settling in West Mountain Collection, Zhang Yuan has always lived in isolation.

He usually doesn’t interact with anyone, and even his nearest neighbors rarely see him, let alone talk.

In truth, such reclusive individuals are not uncommon in West Mountain Collection.

However, Zhang Yuan gives Qu Hong a feeling that’s hard to grasp.

It feels like what he sees of Zhang Yuan is only the tip of an iceberg above the water.

Who knows how much is hidden beneath!

This naturally instills in Qu Hong a strong sense of wariness.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, he purposely spread the word not to provoke Zhang Yuan.

On the surface, Zhang Yuan appears to be a Tier Three Transformation Realm Martial Artist as well.

But even in the same Tier Three, the difference can be vast!

Qu Hong’s visit this time undoubtedly has a thought of testing further.

Seeing Zhang Yuan sit down next to him, this manager from West Mountain Collection immediately asked, "Brother Zhao Yun, the rainy season is about to arrive. Have you obtained a Suppression Talisman from the Celestial King Hall?"

Rainy season? Celestial King Hall? Suppression Talisman?

Zhang Yuan was a bit puzzled hearing this.

Thinking for a moment, he said, "Steward Qu, I’m new here and not familiar with the situation. Could you enlighten me?"

Previously, on the way to Xia Ruins.

Zhang Yuan learned about Xia Ruins through Mu Guangcheng, the caravan manager.

But Mu Guangcheng never mentioned the "rainy season," "Celestial King Hall," or "Suppression Talisman."

"I wouldn’t dare to instruct."

Qu Hong chuckled and said, "Brother Zhao Yun, since you don’t understand, I’ll explain it briefly."

It turns out that in this region where Xia Ruins is located, heavy rains occur every year during this season.

It rains for a month, sometimes even longer.

During this time, the waters of the Long Celestial River rise dramatically, flooding downstream areas and merging with the Great Dream Marsh.

The vast area becomes a land of marshes!

This period is called the rainy season.

After the rainy season begins, both water and land traffic are cut off, making Xia Ruins a giant isolated island.

Everyone has to hide at home and stay indoors.

Fortunately, Ruins City is on high ground, so there’s no risk of being flooded by the overflowing Long Celestial River.

As for West Mountain Collection, its terrain is even higher than Ruins City!

Yet, during the rainy season, beasts and strange creatures from Taiwu Mountain descend.

This poses a significant threat to Xia Ruins.

With West Mountain Collection bearing the brunt!

This is why West Mountain Collection hasn’t been occupied by any force.

In fact, every rainy season, people go missing, die, or get injured.

So when the rainy season comes, many people leave for safer places.

But there are also many who choose to stay.

Some have nowhere to go, and some have no fear of death.

Those who stay need to obtain two Suppression Talismans from the Celestial King Hall in Xia Ruins City.

The Suppression Talisman can protect homes and has some deterrent effect on low-tier strange creatures.

Qu Hong’s meaning was clear.

If Zhang Yuan wants to stay through the rainy season, he should hurry to get a Suppression Talisman.

Getting it sounds nice, but in reality, it’s purchasing.

Five taels each, fair to all!

Not only in West Mountain Collection, but all families residing in the Outer Ruins need to get one to ensure their own safety, even if they can’t use it.

"I see."

After listening to Qu Hong’s explanation, Zhang Yuan finally understood: "Thank you for the guidance, Brother Qu!"

"You’re welcome."

Qu Hong laughed: "It’s my duty. I hope everyone stays safe and doesn’t meet with mishaps."

He chatted a bit more with Zhang Yuan before saying goodbye and leaving.

Zhang Yuan escorted this manager to the door.

Watching him walk away, a thoughtful look appeared in Zhang Yuan’s eyes.

Qu Hong seems like a nice guy.

But someone who manages a place like West Mountain Collection can’t be easy to deal with.

Beneath his friendly demeanor, who knows what dangers might lie beneath!

Of course, for now, Qu Hong is clearly not Zhang Yuan’s enemy.

He appreciated the former’s friendly reminder.

Closing the door, Zhang Yuan immediately set off for Ruins City.

Originally, he had a horse to ride.

Later, he found taking care of it at home troublesome, so he simply...

Though he was walking, with enhanced agility, Zhang Yuan’s speed wasn’t much slower than running.

Now, he’s proficient in using the intricate abilities of the Level 4 Divine Nest.

At least saving half the Qi Blood expenditure!

As he neared Ruins City, he slowed down.

Reaching the city gate, he instinctively glanced at the city wall beside it.

Zhang Yuan’s gaze sharpened.

With his keen eyesight, he immediately spotted a wanted poster stuck there, boldly featuring his portrait!

Zhang Yuan unobtrusively slowed his steps.

Blending into the crowd entering and leaving Ruins City, he took another look.

This wanted poster was issued by the Furious Whale Gang.

As a wanted individual, Zhang Yuan was accused of betraying the gang and killing innocent gang members.

The bounty was as high as five thousand taels of silver!

Besides having a portrait at least eighty percent similar, it also detailed Zhang Yuan’s basic information.

His name, age, strength, cultivation...

And the martial arts he’s skilled in!

Quite detailed.

Yet Zhang Yuan wasn’t particularly angry at the wanted poster.

Nor did he feel backstabbed.

He could be a hundred percent sure.

This was undoubtedly the work of Cyan Cloud Temple!

It’s known that the region around Xia Ruins doesn’t have a sub-branch of the Furious Whale Gang, nor did Zhang Yuan commit any crimes of gang betrayal or killing members.

The poster being plastered here indicates how furious the issuer must be.

Who else could it be but Cyan Cloud Temple?

Of course, he wasn’t that surprised by the appearance of this wanted poster.

Zhang Yuan had long been prepared.

His current appearance has changed drastically from his original look.

Back then, when Liu Seventh Lady left, she gave him a master-passed "Jianghu Records" manual, full of techniques for disguising, altering appearances, sneaking, tracking, surviving in critical situations, and more.

Zhang Yuan worked hard on his disguise technique.

The disguise technique in "Jianghu Records" is very advanced, not relying on makeup to change one’s appearance.

Instead, it creatively uses one’s own power to control the face’s muscles, even adjusting bones.

The effect of such an adjustment is hard to detect.

Not only that, but Zhang Yuan also regularly applied a common herb to his brows and chin.

This promoted long eyebrows and a beard!

Now, his eyebrows have thickened considerably.

And he has a beard.

Today, even if someone from the Furious Whale Gang stood in front of him, even if his mother was there, they wouldn’t easily recognize him!

So Zhang Yuan wasn’t scared at all.

He entered Ruins City calmly, heading straight to the Celestial King Hall located in the Central Ruins.
