Chapter 650: Harbor

"The air in the Fu Realm is toxic; every team that enters must keep a 'Gargle Bead' in their mouth," Fushan Yue said. "But strangely, when monsters from the Fu Realm accidentally wander into the human world, they become abnormally agitated when breathing the air here. Even the most docile Danube Beast becomes aggressive upon entering the human world." "Gargle Bead?" He Lingchuan had been thinking about the Fu Realm's specialty, the "Frost Pill." "Is that the bead that lets people breathe?"

"The Fu Realm produces gargle beads; we pick them and press them under the tongue, and we can breathe freely. Other self-refined talismans don't work." Fu Shanyue explained to him, "But usually, one gargle bead can only be used for a quarter of an hour. You'd better have stock to continue, otherwise, you have to rush to pick new gargle beads. Otherwise, people will suffocate within thirty breaths, fall into a coma within fifty breaths, and then die. Monsters can resist a little longer, but they can't escape this end. The annoying thing is that the picked gargle beads only exist for twelve hours, and they will vaporize themselves after expiration."

"Then you can't pick gargle beads for long-term storage."

"Definitely not. Reasonably allocating the number of gargle beads can be considered a science."

He Lingchuan thought: "Each gargle bead only supports a quarter of an hour of breathing?"

"Strictly speaking, everyone's breathing frequency is different, and the breathing frequency of monsters and humans is also different, and the breathing frequency of normal times and fighting is also different. You say that the time for a giant elephant to use gargle beads to survive must be much shorter than that of humans. Therefore, few large-sized monsters participate in Grass Sea hunting. However, on average, gargle beads can basically be used for a quarter of an hour."

Fu Shanyue added: "Lingxu City has organized Fu Realm hunting hundreds of times and has a lot of experience. These teams will assign special people to collect gargle beads for the whole team to use."

"Is there danger in the Fu Realm?" If it were as safe as the sandbar of the Grass Sea, commoners would have gone over long ago.

"Of course. Hundreds of years ago, when Lingxu City first started exploring the Fu Realm, they found that the environment inside was harsh and the strange beasts were dangerous. Dozens of people went in, and it was good if half of them came out alive. I heard that one year was the most terrifying; the pioneers encountered a large-scale beast tide, thirty went in, and only two came out in the end. However, the more times they entered, the richer the experience. Now there is a complete set of teaching plans for Fu Realm hunting, and the danger is no longer what it was back then."

He smiled: "The time flow on both sides is different. Two years have passed here, and the Fu Realm seems to be seven or eight years; new Danao Beasts have grown up. Besides, there are powerful existences at the lord level in the depths of the Fu Realm, and Lingxu City's teams usually don't provoke them."

"Thirty years ago, a giant beast crossed the storm eye and rushed into the Grass Sea." Fu Shanyue said lazily, "That battle was worth watching; nearly a hundred guards died, fortunately, it didn't affect the commoners in the distance behind."

"How big a floating stone did it produce?"

"Four hundred grades." Fu Shanyue popularized science for him, "It is measured by the floating stone produced by ordinary Danao Beasts as one grade, which is about a purple stone the size of a goose egg."

The harvest of intercepting that giant beast was equivalent to killing four hundred ordinary Danao Beasts.

Of course, the difficulty was not small.

"But fortunately, more powerful Danao Beasts can't come over." Fu Shanyue pointed to the giant storm on the Grass Sea, "They will be intercepted by the space-time barrier."

He Lingchuan suddenly said: "I see many strong people present today, why didn't they enter the Fu Realm to hunt?"

"Those with the rank of Mobile Corps Commander General or above are not allowed to enter the Fu Realm to fight." Fu Shanyue smiled, "The Fu Realm is too dangerous. Lingxu City added this rule for the sake of fairness."

He Lingchuan nodded.

If there were no such rule, he might have found a way to solve Nian Zanli in the Fu Realm, saving a lot of trouble later.

Fu Shanyue added: "Oh, by the way, I just heard a piece of news, not yet verified."

The Grass Sea event almost gathered all the nobles of the city, and all kinds of news flew around like stray bullets.

"Lu Qingzhou died suddenly." Fu Shanyue said softly, "He was a direct disciple of the Qingyang National Teacher and one of her most loyal confidants."

Something happened to the Qinggong again? He Lingchuan was moved: "How did he die?"

"He went home to visit his wife and children seven or eight days ago and didn't wake up the next morning. His wife pushed him and found that he had stopped breathing." Several nobles passed by, and Fu Shanyue greeted them before continuing, "That night, no one in the family heard any strange noise, and even the dog outside the door didn't bark."

He Lingchuan gave a thumbs up: "Good means! No clues found?"

Just looking at Xi Yunhe, one knew that these National Teachers' eyes for choosing disciples were not bad. Lu Qingzhou was a student brought up by the Qingyang National Teacher herself and was regarded by her as a confidant, so his intelligence, cultivation, and ability to adapt should be far superior to ordinary people.

But he still died, died silently.

Daring to strike at the Qingyang National Teacher's disciple, and still being able to do it so beautifully, He Lingchuan only had one candidate in his mind.

"I heard that the Qinggong checked, and Lu Qingzhou had no injuries on his body."

He Lingchuan secretly said "as expected."

However, the Frost Leaf National Teacher's strategy was almost successful; why did he have to take the risk to kill Lu Qingzhou at this juncture? What secret did this person have? Or was he a stumbling block in the Frost Leaf National Teacher's action? No wonder the Qingyang National Teacher's face was so ugly; in these few confrontations with the Frost Leaf National Teacher, she was passive everywhere.

The Elixir of Immortality case, the more He Lingchuan stirred it, the deeper he felt the water was.

"Your guess is probably the same as mine? But anyway, there is no evidence, let's just watch the show." Fu Shanyue stood up and stretched, "Leave a few people here, and assign two doctors. I'm going back first, are you going?"

The Storm Gate will be open for thirty days, and there are too many later stories.

"Going."

￥￥￥￥￥

He Lingchuan was awakened by the cold wind.

He Lingchuan opened his eyes and found that the window was not closed. Night was falling, and the evening wind was even less polite to people.

The charcoal basin in the corner of the room had long gone out. He stood up, stretched his hands and feet, and pushed the door out.

There were no flowers in the small courtyard, and even the flower pots didn't know where they went. The surface of the water tank seemed to be frozen. He Lingchuan was startled and knocked the thin ice away, only to find that the goldfish under the water were still alive, just sinking to the bottom, unwilling to move.

It had been many days since he returned to Panlongcheng.

The Great Fang Hu seemed to know that he was in crisis and busy with trivial matters recently, so it didn't drag him into the dream, letting him rest well at night.

After all, human energy is limited; if you think about it day and night, your mind won't be so clever.

However, he didn't dare to sleep soundly these nights.

On the other side of the courtyard wall, there was light.

Is Sun Fuling at home? He tried to call out, and the neighbor's door creaked open. Sun Fuling walked out with a lantern: "You're back? You've been gone for a while."

He Lingchuan leaned on the wall and grinned at her: "Sorry."

I don't know how long it had been since they met; this girl was still so beautiful, and under the lantern light in the dim environment, she was glowing white.

"Are you going out?"

Sun Fuling was wearing a light green padded jacket, covered with a pure white cloak, delicate and refreshing; it was an outfit for going out at a glance.

"I'm going to the academy, and I'll grab a bite to eat while I'm at it," she yawned, sticking her lantern onto the wall. "I knocked on your door at noon, but you weren't home."

That's right, this girl doesn't cook. He Lingchuan smiled: "My treat?"

"Okay, but you have to accompany me to the academy first."

He Lingchuan took his cloak from the room and went out with her.

Looking out from the donkey cart, the streets of Panlongcheng were reassuringly familiar.

In the past few days, he had experienced so many storms and dodged so many calculations in Lingxu City; his nerves were always tense, and he even had to set up barrier arrays before going to sleep.

Entering Panlongcheng, his body and mind finally relaxed.

That familiar sense of intimacy where everything was under control finally returned.

This was his home.

"What's wrong?" Sun Fuling noticed his expression, "You seem very tired? Is the recent mission very difficult?"

"Hmm, very difficult." He Lingchuan stretched, "But it's fine when I get home."

Sun Fuling smiled lightly: "Yeah, it's fine when I get back here."

The two were standing too close; her apricot-shaped eyes reflected the light from the roadside, shimmering and fragmented, like sunlight dancing on the ripples of spring water.

He Lingchuan reached out and brushed away the broken hair on her delicate eyebrows.

This action was thoughtless, and even He Lingchuan himself was stunned. Sun Fuling raised her eyebrows, seemingly a bit surprised too.

He said hoarsely: "There was a leaf."

It was really strange. Facing a human stunner like Li Qingge, he was glib-tongued.

But in front of Sun Fuling, he didn't know why he was at a loss.

Sun Fuling also looked at him, saying nothing.

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere became strange.

I don't know how long it had been, the coachman broke the deadlock: "Handsome, where did you say you were going just now?"

There was an intersection ahead, don't go the wrong way.

As soon as he spoke, the spell in the carriage was broken.

Sun Fuling looked away, smiled silently, and then said: "Shumin Academy."

He Lingchuan coughed lightly: "It's almost dark, you're going back to the academy at this time?"

Sitting in a carriage with Master Sun, walking slowly towards the academy, the ears were filled with the noise of the market, the play of children, and the sound of firecrackers from afar.

Especially the crackling sound of firecrackers, he hadn't heard it for a long time; I don't know whose family had a happy event.

Beijia didn't allow firecrackers, so there was no such excitement.

At this moment, the danger and urgency of Lingxu City left him. Time seemed to slow down, and He Lingchuan became calm and composed again.

This leisurely and tranquil state of mind was really long-lost.

Sun Fuling's voice was still clear and pleasant: "Another master left today, I have to go substitute for the evening class."

"Left? Where to?"

"She was transferred to Yuheng City. I heard that the number of Xiluo people enrolling in the old land of Xiji has increased recently, and the teaching staff is insufficient. Commander Zhong and the Dean discussed wanting to transfer more people over. Those students will also be residents of Panlong in the future."

After the Xiji Nation was taken down by Panlongcheng, the oppressed Xiluo people finally raised their eyebrows. The "lower-class people" who were once hindered in various ways and not allowed to study finally ushered in the opportunity to enter the classroom.

"Great thing." He Lingchuan knew all this.

"It's just that three or four masters left suddenly, and the manpower in the academy is suddenly tight." Sun Fuling smiled, "Yuheng City is going to expand, and it's busy there now; I see many people volunteering to go over."
