Chapter 2537 – Shrouded in a Strange Fog

The next day, Yang Kai suddenly opened his eyes and said in a low voice, “He’s here!”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruo Xi quickly put the Space Spirit Jade away, then she stood up and focused her gaze forward.

A figure was running in their direction, constantly looking around, as though looking for something.

Yang Kai sent out a sliver of Divine Sense to guide him, and the man immediately felt it and ran over, soon arriving in front of them.

“I apologize for the wait, Little Brother,” Old Ban said.

“You are too polite, Old Ban,” Yang Kai replied, “We’ll be troubling you.”

Old Ban smiled, “Rest assured. With me as your guide, entering the Ancient Lands safely is guaranteed!” When he said this, his face was filled with confidence. It was a stark contrast from the submissiveness he showed when he was beaten by the red-clothed girl the day before.

Yang Kai nodded to himself. Pi San was right to introduce Old Ban to him.

His cultivation level may be low, but Old Ban had undoubtedly mastered a safe passage to and from the Ancient Lands, or at least understood some of the patterns there. Otherwise, with his cultivation, he would not be so confident.

“The two of you should refine this before we enter the Ancient Lands,” Old Ban said, handing something to Yang Kai and Zhang Ruo Xi.

Yang Kai took it and found that it was something similar to a Sound Bead, but not exactly. Moreover, the workmanship was extremely rough. It didn’t look like it was made by a professional Artifact Refiner, but rather a random person with whatever materials they had.

“What is this?” Yang Kai looked at Old Ban questioningly.

“The Ancient Lands Passageway is shrouded in a strange fog that interferes with one’s Divine Sense. It is easy to get lost if you enter without guidance. This old man gathered some stones from the passageway and created these Communication Beads. They can be used to sense each other’s locations and will be unaffected by the strange fog; however, the detection range is only one hundred metres, so the two of you must follow me closely,” Old Ban explained.

Yang Kai nodded to express his understanding, “Good!”

Afterward, he and Zhang Ruo Xi began to refine the jade beads.
