After collecting the medicinal fields, Zhou Yan once again unleashed his mental power, letting it spread throughout the entire mansion, automatically filtering out low-level items and only searching for things that piqued his interest.
"Unfortunately, there aren't many good things; only a few places can truly catch my attention," he sighed.
After a thorough scan of his mansion's space, Zhou Yan let out a sigh.
"A pseudo-divine artifact, a few bottles of high-grade pills, and some secret manuals. Truly not many valuable items," Ye Xun added.
"Never mind, since we're here, let's take these with us," Zhou Yan said, flying towards the main hall.
The other alien races had long since left this space. Only humans had entered, and they were now flying towards various islands, searching for treasures.
While Zhou Yan and Ye Xun found these items unremarkable, they were still considered good finds by others.
Upon reaching the main hall, Zhou Yan produced a pseudo-divine sword, unleashed a sword energy, and destroyed the entire formation. He then entered an alchemy room.
Inside, there was a pseudo-divine alchemy cauldron for refining pills, which was quite a good find. Zhou Yan collected it, along with the medicinal ingredients, pill recipes, and pills from the room.
After that, he proceeded to the library within the main hall and took all the cultivation techniques and secret manuals.
"Let's go. There are no more good things," Zhou Yan had lost interest. The remaining items were not of significant value.
"Mm."
Ye Xun's standards were even higher than Zhou Yan's. Ordinary items rarely caught his eye. He didn't take anything else and left with Zhou Yan.
Outside, the humans saw two divine lights flying away and exclaimed, "The human divine beings have left."
"The good things inside must have all been taken by the divine beings."
"Even so, what remains is enough to greatly increase our strength."
Zhou Yan took out his airship again and boarded it with Ye Xun. He then summoned Diao Chan and Zhen Mi.
"Is this the Great Wilderness?" Diao Chan looked around the Great Wilderness, truly sensing something different.
"Where are we going?" Zhen Mi asked.
"To Huangtian City in the Central Continent," Zhou Yan replied.
"Huangtian City? Will there be information about Ye Xun's background there?" Zhen Mi seemed to understand something.
Diao Chan, however, said, "Isn't Ye Xun from the God Realm? We can use the [Heaven and Earth Library] to check his identity once we ascend to the God Realm."
"Some things require us to go there personally. We must make this trip," Zhou Yan stated.
Since Zhou Yan had said so, Diao Chan said no more. She brought out fine wine and delicacies, enjoying the beautiful scenery while sipping her wine.
"Ye Xun, my territory has many beautiful women. Do you want me to give one to you? You seem rather lonely."
Zhou Yan sat on a stool, chatting and laughing with Diao Chan and Zhen Mi. Ye Xun felt like a superfluous third wheel.
"My life is destined to be without women. It's better to be alone," Ye Xun had never considered this. His only desire now was to recover his memories.
"You don't understand romance!" Zhou Yan remarked.
About an hour later, they arrived at the first city. Zhou Yan put away the airship, and the group flew into the city.
The city was protected by a formation, but such a formation could not stop Zhou Yan if he wished to enter.
Zhou Yan intercepted someone and inquired, "Does this city have a teleportation array?"
"Teleportation arrays are only found in the City Lord's Mansion, and they are not open to the public. If you wish to use one, you need to go to the City Lord's Mansion. It seems you can have them activate it for you once after completing a task for them," the person replied.
"Thank you," Zhou Yan said.
"You're welcome."
"The City Lord's Mansion." Zhou Yan and the others looked towards the center of the city and said, "Let's go take a look."
The four of them walked towards the City Lord's Mansion. Upon reaching the entrance, the guards stopped them, "Halt! What business do you have at the City Lord's Mansion?"
"We wish to borrow the teleportation array for a moment," Zhou Yan stated.
"Borrowing the teleportation array? That's not possible. We don't lend out our teleportation array. However, if you wish to use it, you must complete a task issued by our City Lord."
"As long as you can complete any one of the tasks, our teleportation array can naturally be activated for you."
The guards did not make things difficult for them but rather stated their requirements.
Zhou Yan could have forcefully entered and used the teleportation array, but he did not want to. Doing so would negate the purpose of gaining experience.
"Then let's go take a look. These tasks should be a piece of cake for us," Diao Chan said.
"Young lady, what a bold statement! To think that the City Lord's Mansion's tasks are a piece of cake. Every single task from the City Lord's Mansion is not simple at all."
Several young men and women walked in from outside. They were not old, but their strength had reached the ninth heaven, indicating they were exceptional talents of the younger generation.
"They may be difficult for you, but it's different for us," Diao Chan remained confident.
"Heh heh, such arrogance." One of the women among them felt Diao Chan was speaking without basis.
"If only it were that simple. If you don't believe us, then go and see for yourself. We'd like to see what capabilities you have to speak such words."
Another man also felt Diao Chan was exaggerating. Although both women were very beautiful, he was merely stating facts.
"We also wish to use the teleportation array. Why don't we go take a look together?" said Wang Liyan, the man who had spoken earlier.
"Let's just go and see," Zhou Yan followed them.
This was a side hall next to the City Lord's Mansion. Inside, there was a task list with only five tasks.
The first task, written at the very top, was to heal the City Lord's daughter.
Zhen Mi curiously asked, "What kind of illness does the City Lord's daughter have that she requires rescue?"
"You don't know?" Wang Liyan looked at Zhou Yan and the others, sensing they were not from Willow City.
"We are from out of town." Zhou Yan didn't even know the name of this city, and they hadn't entered through the city gates.
"The City Lord's daughter is named Xiong Yaocen. She was once a heavenly proud daughter among the younger generation. Unfortunately, about six months ago, during an expedition, she was poisoned by something unknown. During the day, her body heats up like a raging inferno, and at night, she experiences extreme cold, as if in a world of ice."
"This condition has afflicted Xiong Yaocen for over six months. City Lord Xiong Jue has invited countless people, but alas, all of them have been unable to help."
"Some renowned physicians hadn't even approached Xiong Yaocen before they were either incinerated into nothingness or shattered into fragments by the extreme cold."
Wang Liyan briefly explained the situation to Zhou Yan and the others.
"Oh, something like that. Perhaps she ate something indigestible? It sounds like a few things I know of."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan immediately spoke.
This surprised Wang Liyan a little, as he hadn't expected Zhou Yan to guess it.
