Forsaken Immortals Chapter 312: Farewell, Sleepy Meadow

Chapter 312: Farewell, Sleepy Meadow

Bai Rouyun could not help but feel somewhat perplexed as she heard Xiao Bao claim that the Primal Chaos Dimension did not have any rice paper.
This dimension had formulas and books aplenty, it also had the ability to plant and harvest herbs at record speed, but rice paper, such a common item, was not present?
"I do not like making rice paper." Xiao Bao seemed to realize her thoughts, and he could not help but cough slightly as he looked away.
"All the rice paper that was stored within the dimension by the previous owners has been used up throughout the many years of isolation, and rice paper is very boring to craft, so I never really bothered resuplying it."
Xiao Bao was a bit embarrassed as he said these words. Although he had been stuck within the Primal Chaos Dimension for so long since the last master died, he never had the urge to create rice paper.
No matter how outstanding this separate dimension was, it could not create things out of nothing, and the different tiers depended on various formations to provide the benefits they had.
The first floor of the dimension was able to increase the speed at which the plants would mature due to the formations that increased the energy in the atmosphere, and also influenced the passing of time.
The second floor was similarly controlled by numerous formations that gathered energy and conjured gems and rare treasures from this energy with the help of the formation. This was also why, after the items had been removed, it would take time before new ones were created.
Also, no matter how bored Xiao Bao became, he really did not find the motivation to craft rice paper, hence the current dimension had run out long ago.
"I see." Bai Rouyun did not blame Xiao Bao at all. She understood that although he had been imprisoned within this dimension for a long time, he still had his own preferences. He should not be forced to do things that he disliked, so she did not even question his decision of not making the said papers.
"Jiaojiao, dear, do you remember anything from the lands outside of this meadow?" Bai Rouyun looked at the little girl with a smile. Although she asked, she did not hold much hope, but it would be stupid not to ask now that they were going to leave the area.
"The surrounding areas are somewhat dangerous, since many beasts will appear, and it is hard to traverse due to the changing environments."
Jiaojaio was trying to find as many details as she could, but her knowledge of the outside world was truly small, and she felt a little uncertain about the current state.
"I see. Since the surrounding area might have changed, we should consider it a dangerous zone and prepare for the worst."
Although Jiaojiao was born on the Wushi Continent, she had not lived for long in the actual environment to have a standard knowledge of what to expect. Not only was she young, but she had also been kept at home during her early years, and later she fled to this peaceful haven only to stay away from danger.
This also meant that their journey outside this Sleepy Meadow would become something akin to a journey into the unknown, but none of them felt frightened.
Their group of experts had experienced many things from a young age, and they were never willing to back down. They had come to the Wushi continent with no other knowledge than what Yun Mingshen had told them prior to their arrival.
However, when considering his words, this place was not as ruthless and deadly as one might assume. In many ways, it was similar to the realm below, just more extreme.
Due to the increase in density of essence in the atmosphere, the cultivation speed was increased, and thus the quality of everything increased as well.
The experts were more talented and gained strength swifter than in the realm below, and the same was the case for the beasts. Even more treasures could be found here too, as the energy took a shorter time to conjure these rare items.
During her two lifetimes of memories, Bai Rouyun had always been confined to the lower realms, so now that she had the chance to enter a new place and start her life without being held back, she was very excited.
The group spent another day preparing. Their main purpose was to rest and ensure that their mental state was at the best, before they set out.
"This is quite the difference."
After the second floor of the pagoda opened, Xiao Bao was capable of leaving the dimension alongside Xiao Jin, and the two children were happily examining the outside world.
However, Xiao Bao could not help but frown as he looked around. While he was already clearly aware that each environment was different, he felt disappointed that the tranquil and peaceful Sleepy Meadow had been located in this wilderness.
The dense thicket was full of thorny bushes and the forest floor was a canopy of fallen leaves and branches, with the occasional decomposing tree knocked down by the weather or because of rot, making their journey arduous with every step they took.
As they had no idea of which way to go, they had decided to head straight north, and see where it would take them. Instead of switching direction half-way through, they left it to luck to see how long they would have to move before they could leave this gloomy forest.
However, they did not encounter much danger, as Xiao Mao was capable of sensing the various auras from the more powerful beasts, and they cleverly avoided the territories that could become dangerous.
