Chapter 115

Past Events in South Zhuzhou

The two sisters hadn't seen each other for many years. At this time, they leaned together and couldn't help but tell the story of their separation. It turned out that when Rong and Qian and Both Both Ruan Ci went their separate ways, the journey was full of storms and very difficult. Fortunately, the spiritual jade they carried was also a rare thing in other countries in South Zhuzhou, and they exchanged it for some money. And Ruan Qian had already opened his meridians by himself, so the two were not completely without the power to protect themselves.

Because they remembered what Wang Wang Panpan said, the Heavenly Boat would dock in three years, and South Zhuzhou would welcome a great opportunity. They originally planned to go to Tancheng to worship a teacher, but Ruan Qian's heart pulse had been seriously injured, and he couldn't support it when he walked to the Lu Kingdom. The two temporarily settled in the Lu Kingdom. It was also because Ruan Qian had an encounter in the mountain where they stayed, and was taught by an old man, who could absorb the blood energy of demonic beasts to make up for the loss of heart blood.

Because Ruan Qian had to see the old man every seven days to follow his work, and joined the local Qi Refining loose cultivators to hunt demonic beasts together, it was inconvenient to move for a while. Ruan Rong also did some small business in the Lu Kingdom. She could comprehend the "Qingjing Bichen Sutra". After leaving the Song Kingdom array, the spiritual energy was much more stable than the Song Kingdom. Although Ruan Rong had not fully opened her meridians, she was considered to be slowly opening her meridians by herself, but she was also handy in making dust-avoiding talismans, and she made a small fortune in three years, most of which were used to buy demonic beast flesh and blood for Ruan Qian, and the rest was saved as travel expenses for the two to go to Tancheng to worship a teacher after the Heavenly Boat docked, so they didn't dare to spend it randomly.

However, her talisman-making technique was so superb that it inevitably attracted the covetousness of others. Qian and Rong, the two, were rare and excellent talents, and they were outstanding in a place like the Song Kingdom, which made Liu Jizi have the idea of cherishing talent and spared their lives. Once they left the Song Kingdom and came to the cultivation world of South Zhuzhou, they immediately attracted everyone's attention. Ruan Qian was still okay. He had an injury to his heart pulse and it was difficult to cultivate into a flawless golden body. The prosperous sect was difficult to look at, and it was not rare in the eyes of the Mao sect. And Ruan Rong was naturally gifted and had peerless beauty, which attracted many local sects to fight for it. Some wanted to take the first step and accept her into the sect, and some wanted to offer her to the upper sect to be the successor of the mantle.

Because of this, although the two lived in the remote state and county of the Lu Kingdom, right and wrong were still constant. In the third year, Ruan Rong was kidnapped and went straight to the Lu capital. The cultivators who came to 'pick her up' were in the Foundation Establishment realm. Ruan Rong expected that Ruan Qian should not be able to defeat them, so she left a letter for Ruan Qian, saying that she was going to the Lu capital to worship a teacher and stay in South Zhuzhou to manage the forces, so that Ruan Qian didn't have to worry about her, and still go to Tancheng to worship a teacher.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator was happy that she was sensible, and also left her dozens of spiritual jade, enough for Ruan Qian's travel expenses to Tancheng. Ruan Rong walked halfway with this group of people, and only then did she know that she was going to be offered to the Mao sect supported by the Lu Kingdom, and then transferred to a certain prosperous sect to be a dual cultivation furnace for a disciple.

She was naturally unwilling, but as a mortal, in the eyes of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, wanting to escape was easier said than done. Because she was a gift from the Mao sect to the prosperous sect, the Foundation Establishment cultivator watched her very closely and bought a heavy poison on her. If Ruan Rong didn't take the antidote for three days, she would bleed from seven orifices and die. She was almost discouraged and accepted her fate as a furnace, planning to figure out a way later.

Arriving at the Lu capital, she stayed for a few days, and was sent to the hands of the prosperous sect's executive. The group went to the northwest. Because the antidote was also handed over together, and the executive who came this time had Golden Core cultivation, Ruan Rong was completely desperate, and couldn't help but secretly shed tears, only saying that her life was bitter, and there was nothing that could go smoothly.

Compared with her, although Both Both Ruan Ci also suffered many hardships that ordinary people couldn't imagine, at least she got the Donghua Sword quickly, and there was always something to look forward to when suffering. Moreover, in the severe pain, her thinking naturally became simple. It was not like Ruan Rong, who was completely awake and sold around like goods, and there was a different kind of suffering in her heart. She couldn't help but listen, and hurriedly asked, "Then how did Rong-jie escape?"

Ruan Rong didn't know if she remembered the mood of that day, her face turned slightly white, she bit her red lips, and said, "Unexpectedly, there was a big change on the way. A group of people intercepted the convoy halfway. In the rush, we all fled into the mountains and fell into a secret realm."

Both Both Ruan Ci hurriedly said, "I know! You got an encounter in the secret realm, showed your divine power, and killed everyone who went in!"

Ruan Rong stretched out her finger and topped her forehead, "You don't think about it, I hadn't even fully opened my meridians when I was picked up by Senior Brother Zhou. Where did I have the ability to kill Golden Core cultivators? When will this anxious temper be changed?"

When the sisters were together in the past, she often scolded Both Both Ruan Ci like this. Both Both Ruan Ci couldn't help but bend down to pick up Wang Wang Panpan, following the habit of the year, picked up Wang Wang Panpan and threw it to the ground, shouting, "Oh, cat, where are you running!"

As she said, she stood up and wanted to chase. Wang Wang Panpan turned around and waved a claw at her, jumped onto the bookshelf, lay beside the vase, flicked her tail, and looked at Ruan Rong waiting for the next sentence with great interest. The two sisters laughed together. Ruan Rong's hair was slightly messy, she reached out to fix it, and said, "It was the group of cultivators who came to kill who also chased into the secret realm, killed all the gang, and divided all their wealth."

The smile on her face disappeared again, and she said in a low voice, "There were also some mortals with me, who were the descendants of the Lu capital dignitaries, and were all killed. South Zhuzhou cultivators look at mortals, actually like grass, how could they care about their life and death."

"Because my aptitude was still okay, they had differences. Some wanted to kill me to avoid future trouble, and some wanted to keep me, whether to accept as a disciple or keep as a furnace, they were all useful. Later, they also had differences. A cultivator mediated and provoked them, leading them to fight each other and kill each other. Only when there were a few left, he took action again and killed them all like lightning."

She said a few words, flatly, but the treacherous and dangerous place in it made people's hair stand on end. The fighting between these Golden Core cultivators, I don't know how magnificent it was in the momentum field, but mortals could only see these. It was like Both Both Ruan Ci of the day, who only saw Sister Xie Sister Xie Yan Yan Huan defeat the enemy with one hairpin, and kill a Nascent Soul cultivator with one palm, and couldn't see anything else at all.

Both Both Ruan Ci listened intently and couldn't help but ask, "Then how did you survive? Everyone who entered the secret realm died, only you and the guy who killed came out—or he killed so many enemies, he was already at the end of his strength, and you happened to trigger the secret realm mechanism..."

She said it and felt it was far-fetched, shook her head and didn't speak. Ruan Rong's face was pale, and she said in a low voice, "No, he killed those companions, then put all the wealth into the Qiankun bag, sent me out of the secret realm, closed the mechanism himself, and didn't know what to do."

Both Both Ruan Ci felt quite puzzled, but Ruan Rong obviously didn't want to elaborate. She thought that Ruan Rong might have suffered some other humiliation in that person's hands, so naturally she wouldn't ask again. Ruan Rong said again, "Maybe the bad luck finally came to an end. God finally cherished me. I also got a small encounter in the secret realm, so I walked back from the mountain to the official road without any twists and turns. Because of this, I didn't dare to go to the crowded place, walked along the official road for a few months, and was a bit far from the scene, so I built a hut in the mountain to live in, planning to wait for the limelight to pass, and then figure out a way to go to Tancheng."

"But I don't know when, there was no one on the road, and there was no caravan. I wanted to find someone to buy salt but couldn't find it. I risked going to the nearby village, but found that the village had been moved away. My heart knew that something big must have happened. Later I found out that this was to find me. They all said that the Donghua Sword Envoy might come from the Ruan family, and the Ruan family bloodline was in the Lu Kingdom..."

Ruan Rong smiled and looked at her sister, her expression finally relaxed, "Many sects came to find me at that time, but Senior Brother Zhou said that you had already worshipped under the Shangqing Sect, and asked me if I would like to join the same sect with you. I naturally agreed to him."

She said it lightly, but how could Both Both Ruan Ci not know that Zhou Zhou Yanqing must have used his own safety as bait to induce Ruan Rong to be her substitute. And if Ruan Rong didn't think of her sister, why would she choose Zhou Zhou Yanqing, a Golden Core, among a group of Nascent Soul True Persons? The two fled from the Lu Kingdom to Tancheng, which must have been thrilling. She couldn't help but have red eyes and called out "Rong-jie".

Ruan Rong said, "Alright, don't do these daughterly feelings. What should be said has already been said when we parted at that time. If Qian-ge was present at that time, the choice he made would be the same. What's more, the ownership of the Donghua Sword will be revealed when returning to the Central Continent. Qian-ge and Song Crown Prince were also accepted by the prosperous sect, but they don't have the Donghua Sword. What status do they have in the sect? They are still just running around for worshiping a teacher like those fellow disciples just now."

"I am in the same sect as you, although I have taken risks, I have also been accepted by my mentor and received strong cultivation from the Sect Master's lineage. Nine layers of Foundation Establishment, Grotto-Heaven is promising. Just wait for you to achieve Golden Core and draw the sword, and I will redo your wings. From then on, the Great Dao will also be a smooth road. The immortal road is long, and the most difficult is just these few hundred years. Compared with the thousands of years, what is it? Don't be cheesy. It is better for you and me to calculate the future strategy."

Her wisdom and heart are not inferior to Both Both Ruan Ci. This remark is also quite reasonable. Wang Wang Panpan meowed and laughed, "Both Both Ruan Ci, this sister of yours is quite to my taste, much more sensible than you."

Both Both Ruan Ci also knew that Ruan Rong said this, and also had the meaning of comforting her, so she still wouldn't let go of the previous events, pestering Ruan Rong to let her talk about whether she had experienced any twists and turns in the Seven Stars Small Abode. Ruan Rong couldn't bear her torture and sighed, "The Seven Stars Small Abode is under the mentor's nose, what else can happen? Even though the Yanshan crowd has tried to test it several times from the void, fortunately, I have been given a few treasures, and it has been safe and sound. After Foundation Establishment, they didn't come again. However, the Hanyuze trip, they will probably send many subordinates to harass, we have to be careful."

The void attack is not as simple as she said. Like Both Both Ruan Ci, who can cross the void, that is because she is protected by the Donghua Sword. Even so, she was almost invaded by the void and lost in millions of years ago. She hasn't actively looked for time spiritual objects until now, because she is afraid of the risks. Hearing Ruan Rong say this, she gasped, "Impossible, wanting to cross the void, Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment are absolutely impossible to do. At least you have to have the Nascent Soul stage to be sure—but isn't this bullying the small with the big?"

Ruan Rong hadn't answered yet, Wang Wang Panpan said coldly, "People are not specifically coming for your sister, naturally they are provoking the Sect Master from the void, and the waves will affect your sister. Grotto-Heaven to Grotto-Heaven, it is also done openly and honestly, and will not be contaminated with the karma of bullying the small with the big."

Can it be like this! Both Both Ruan Ci was stunned for a long time, feeling very rogue. Ruan Rong sighed, "It is also because the mentor does not live in his own Grotto-Heaven. If he lived in Zixutian like Ci-gu, there would be no such worry. Grotto-Heaven forms a small world, which is a layer of barrier compared to the outside world, and demonic cultivators are very difficult to erode."

"That's it, why doesn't the Sect Master live in his own Grotto-Heaven?"

Both Both Ruan Ci was also curious early on. She had entered and exited Zixutian many times, naturally knowing the difference between Grotto-Heaven and the outside world. Although the Seven Stars Small Abode had rich spiritual energy, it was obviously not the Sect Master's Grotto-Heaven. Everyone seemed to be used to this. She thought it was the Sect Master's special status before. Now that she heard it, it seemed that there was another reason.

Ruan Rong replied, "The mentor can stay in it, but the Grotto-Heaven environment is special and not suitable for disciples to cultivate. In order to take care of us, I have to cultivate in the Seven Stars Small Abode."

Both Both Ruan Ci had many more misunderstandings, but if she wanted to ask deeply, Ruan Rong didn't know either. Wang Wang Panpan yawned and started snoring again. Both Both Ruan Ci was too lazy to ask her, because this matter was not very urgent, so she put it aside, talked about Hanyuze with Ruan Rong, and asked, "I follow you, is it considered the sect's protection, or a friend you found yourself?"

Ruan Rong sighed, "This matter depends on how the mentor operates. There are still thirteen years, many things are not certain, wait until then."

Her expression was calm, and she didn't seem to care about the result. Both Both Ruan Ci knew that this matter was extremely important. If she was considered the protection found by the Shangqing Sect for Both Both Ruan Ci, then according to the sect's rules, Foundation Establishment disciples handle errands, and there is at most one protection. This trip is bound to be more dangerous. After all, when she went out last time, only Yanshan sent people to harass her specifically. Most sects would not pay special attention to a sword envoy's wing, but Ruan Rong's trip was the first time the sword envoy went out to handle errands, and naturally many sects paid attention. Both Both Ruan Ci could at most pull Li Pingyan to help Ruan Rong, and it depended on whether Li Pingyan was in seclusion at that time. If the cultivation was too low, it would be meaningless. Therefore, this matter is bound to be fought for more.

In addition, there is the Heavenly Demon attack, which also makes Both Both Ruan Ci very concerned. Many calculations surged into her heart. She talked with Ruan Rong for a long time. After sending Ruan Rong away, she silently calculated in her heart, discussed with Wang Wang Panpan, and the next day went to True Person Wang to say goodbye, saying, "Disciple has been quiet for a long time and wants to go outside the mountain gate for a few months, please allow me, Mentor."

True Person Wang didn't make it difficult, and agreed readily, and called Seeing Tianlu over, saying, "Didn't you say you wanted to follow her out to play? This time I allow you, go with her, just look after her, don't cause trouble."

Seeing Tianlu heard this, and ran to Both Both Ruan Ci's side happily, holding Both Both Ruan Ci's arm, looking up at her and laughing happily, "Miss Ci, we can finally go out to play together!"
