Chapter 116

Flying Bear is Cunning

After Ruan Ci sent Qu Tanyue away, she still lingered in the Jin Bo Sect. Although the cultivation time of Foundation Establishment cultivators is very precious, Ruan Ci rarely visited, and Li Pingyan could still spare a few months. The two traveled or discussed the Dao, which was very comfortable. However, the Jin Bo Sect cultivators seemed to be very wary of Ruan Ci. Most of the senior brothers and sisters of Li Pingyan who stayed in the sect were in seclusion, and no other Jin Dan came to entertain Tiger Servant and others. Only the disciples under the Liu True Person mentioned by Li Pingyan before came to visit, but the low-quality disciples left by Liu True Person were not outstanding in talent. Li Pingyan said, "Uncle Liu thinks that there is no hope for Cave Heaven, and the rest of his life is to find a good disciple who can be better than the blue. This time, he went out for this reason. He said he had asked a friend to calculate, and his opportunity should be in the north of the outer continent. Uncle Liu boarded the cross-ocean boat. If he doesn't return for hundreds of years, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to return."

Although there are sky boats in the Central Continent, they are not driven for no reason. Several giant turtles are fed by several powerful sects. Trade between continents is more carried by large magic ships. Except for the North Underworld Continent, because Yanshan moved in, the fortune and the Central Continent gradually connected, and the space maze has weakened, other continents, the closer ones take decades, and the farther ones take more than a hundred years for a one-way trip. Only Nascent Soul cultivators have such leisure to go to the outer continent because of the small matter of finding a disciple. Ruan Ci heard this and couldn't help but sigh with Li Pingyan, and talked about many sceneries in South Zhuzhou.

She came to the Jin Bo Sect this time, originally intending to ask Li Pingyan to pass a message to Su, Jiang, and Shen, asking them to try to buy time-related spiritual objects for her when they travel, and Ruan Ci would naturally make up for the spirit jade twice. Li Pingyan naturally agreed and smiled, "If I go out to find external medicine, I will naturally keep an eye on it for you."

In the past twenty years, Shen Qi and Su Jingxing have visited, and their cultivation has also improved a lot. The Hengze Heaven trip has been of great benefit to the few cultivators who came out alive from the inner city. Su Jingxing's cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, and he is almost at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment. Li Pingyan doesn't know how many virtual scenes he has built. At this time, he is also curious and asked Ruan Ci privately. Ruan Ci smiled, "I don't know, but looking at his conversation, he should have built nine virtual scenes. Otherwise, he should have returned to the sect to prepare for core formation at this moment. Like my grand-disciple, he has been in seclusion for twenty years, and I don't know when he will come out."

As for Shen Qi, his sword intent is sharper. The two compared slightly, and Li Pingyan naturally lost. He said, "If we return to Hengze Heaven, if our cultivation doesn't change, Senior Brother Shen's sword is enough to kill me. As for Junior Sister Ci, I'm afraid she can't avoid it even with her skills. Listening to what he said, in another hundred years, he will return to the mountain to go into seclusion—Senior Brother Shen told me that he and Little Su agreed to fight after Jin Dan. That is what Little Su promised him, but I'm afraid Little Su will have to wait for him for a while."

If Su Jingxing has already completed Foundation Establishment at this time, this statement naturally makes great sense, but if he is at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, he will have to delay for hundreds of years. Li Pingyan said so, Su Jingxing seems to be at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment. However, Ruan Ci thought of the Qingjun Dao rhyme that Little Su absorbed on the high platform, and couldn't help but smile, "It seems that Little Su has a secret method to build the high platform to the peak in a hundred years. Oh no, oh no, I have to hide in the mountain gate for hundreds of years, otherwise he will enter Jin Dan, but I am still Foundation Establishment, he will catch me and drill into my brain, what should I do?"

Li Pingyan smiled, "How can he be willing?"

Ruan Ci said, "Senior Brother, you don't understand. If Little Su can really catch me, he will definitely be able to do such a thing."

Although she said so, looking at her expression, she didn't take Su Jingxing to heart, and she seemed to be able to handle the upper level of Jin Dan. This also made people curious about Ruan Ci's progress in cultivation. Li Pingyan wanted to ask, but picked up the spirit tea and took a sip. Ruan Ci smiled, "Senior Brother Li, why are you being polite with me?"

Li Pingyan said, "I want to ask, but I remembered the news circulating in the sect, and I felt that I didn't have to ask. I will know in a few days."

Ruan Ci was naturally curious about his meaning, but Li Pingyan sold a pass and smiled, "Junior Sister doesn't have to worry, just be a guest here for a few days, I'm afraid there will be news in the blink of an eye."

Ruan Ci stayed in the Jin Bo Sect for more than ten days, and no one came to visit. Although the low-quality disciples under Uncle Liu came, the teacher was traveling far away and no incarnation was left, so they couldn't count for anything. She thought that no faction in the Jin Bo Sect was optimistic about the Purple Void Heaven and didn't dare to come to bet. Only then did she know that someone had secretly passed the news to Li Pingyan, and she couldn't help but feel refreshed and smiled, "Okay, then I will wait."

The two talked about Pan Tanruo again. Li Pingyan explained for Pan Tanruo tactfully, "It was also that he didn't expect that he was already a person of the Dao. When he was with Senior Brother, he naturally tried his best to please. Because he knew that Junior Sister was a disciple of the powerful sect, he thought everyone wanted to make friends, so he mentioned that Junior Sister wanted to see the black-and-white flying bear in the Green Jade Hall last time, and probably mentioned that Junior Sister loved cute spirit beasts and said a few more words."

It wasn't Pan Tanruo, there were other reasons for the setup. Ruan Ci also gave Li Pingyan face and didn't keep thinking about it. Because she talked about Junior Sister Lian of the Pinghai Sect, Li Pingyan said, "She is now a manager in the Pinghai Sect, and has made another marriage, gave birth to two children, and in a few years, she will establish a family near the Pinghai Sect. Last time she came to the Jin Bo market to handle affairs, I happened to be out of seclusion, and we met."

The people who met during the last trip were already scattered like this. Ruan Ci sighed, "Junior Sister Lian is really dead to the Dao. She gave birth to two children in only twenty years, which must be a huge loss to the mother's body."

Li Pingyan coughed, touched his nose, and said, "That's not necessarily true. She found a disciple of the Grace Sect to marry into her family. The children were all born by her husband. Last time in the market, I saw a casual cultivator who looked quite good and was intimate with her. If she took a concubine, and it has been several years since we met last time, maybe there are several more children under her knees."

Ruan Ci almost choked on the tea. Although there are probably such married couples in the Shangqing Sect, she is a disciple of the Cave Heaven, how can she be easily climbed by these dead-to-the-Dao cultivators? And she has spent most of her time in the Purple Void Heaven for cultivation and has not been out for too long. When she saw children, she wouldn't ask who gave birth to them. This was the first time she heard of this. "Can children be born by others? This, how is this done?"

Li Pingyan smiled, "What's difficult about this? Foundation Establishment cultivators can take a pill, and Jin Dan cultivators only need to exchange essence and energy. Even if they have never held hands, they can have children. The fetus born from the encounter of essence and energy can be chosen to be attached to whom. Nascent Soul and Cave Heaven want to be simpler, but if we cultivators have the heart for the Dao, even if we form a marriage, most of us will not have children. Only dead-to-the-Dao cultivators will multiply families like this. Since they have no hope for the upper level in their lifetime, most of them will not just do this."

Ruan Ci gave an 'ah' and asked, "Why? If not like this, what else?"

Li Pingyan was speechless, held his forehead and discussed with Ruan Ci, "Or Junior Sister Ci will ask Little Su in the future? Little Su will definitely be very happy to answer, and there is Youwen, um, although Youwen is reluctant, maybe he can be reluctant."

Ruan Ci naturally knew that Li Pingyan was teasing her. She was not completely ignorant of the world. After thinking about it carefully, she understood and spat, "Isn't it just that there is no hope for the upper level, so they started to indulge in pleasure? This is also absurd. We Foundation Establishment cultivators can completely control our own bodies. If we want to enjoy pleasure, stimulating the meridians can make us feel like immortals, as long as we want. But what is the point of this?"

She couldn't help but think that sometimes cultivation was meaningless, and she couldn't help but sigh again, and said with worry, "However, there are not many interesting things in life."

Li Pingyan didn't want to talk about this anymore and smiled, "Forget it, Junior Sister has been practicing with peace of mind since she was a child. If you don't understand now, it's better to understand when you should understand. You don't have to talk too much here."

Although Ruan Ci likes to read "Sky Boat Crossing" when she is free, the Langhuan Universe is so vast, and every place has its own customs. Ruan Ci is far from being knowledgeable about the past and present. Even Tianlu is ignorant of these trivial matters of dead-to-the-Dao cultivators. Everyone chats and talks when they are free, which is quite interesting. Li Pingyan has already instructed his disciples to pay attention in the Jin Bo market. If there is news of time spiritual objects, report it to him.

A few more days passed. On this day, Tianlu held the little flying bear and came to find Ruan Ci, and smiled, "The pill given by Miss Ci is quite effective. The little bear is already much better."

He was already cute and pitiful, and holding a little bear that was chirping, he looked like a fairy child in a painting. I don't know if he was cuter or the little bear was cuter. Ruan Ci saw this and was overjoyed, wanting to hold the little bear from Tianlu's hands, but the little bear hugged Tianlu tightly, staring at Ruan Ci quite vigilantly, planted in Tianlu's arms, and chirped 'Ying! Ying!'. Tianlu smiled, "This bear is very timid. I take care of it more, so it only recognizes me. Tiger Uncle and Panpan want to get close, it crawls everywhere, and even Merman Concubine Sister doesn't buy it."

Ruan Ci didn't force it, teased it a few times, and asked, "Little guy, are you willing to follow Tianlu brother back to the Purple Void Heaven? In the Purple Void Heaven, bamboo is for you to eat, and no one will dare to hurt you."

That bear had just reached Foundation Establishment, and among the black-and-white flying bears, its age was probably young, and it only had vague intelligence. Hearing this, a look of confusion appeared on its face, as if it couldn't understand what Ruan Ci meant. However, seeing that Ruan Ci had no malice, it gathered its courage, sniffed the scent on Ruan Ci's hand, its wet nose touched it and hurriedly moved away, and buried its face in Tianlu's arms again, and let out a long 'Ying—' cry. Tianlu smiled, "Oh? Is that so?"

He turned to Ruan Ci and said, "The bear likes to drink bamboo leaf clear dew, and asks me if there is clear dew to drink in the Purple Void Heaven."

Bamboo leaf clear dew is the spirit dew condensed by the giant bamboo of the Green Jade Hall feeling the yin and yang energy. The Purple Void Heaven has many good things, but there is no spiritual object that is exactly the same. Ruan Ci said, "Sigh, I'm afraid there isn't. You ask it if it likes to eat spirit fruit."

She took out a spirit fruit treated by the Jin Bo Sect, put it in her hand to lure the little bear. The little bear sniffed it a few times and turned its face away. Tianlu touched its head a few times and blamed, "Really picky."

"If you want to drink clear dew, what's the difficulty?" Tiger Servant walked over and smiled, "Miss Ci can send someone to collect it every month, that's all. It's just such a small matter, does the Purple Void lineage not deserve this kind of style?"

Ruan Ci had never thought of solving it this way, so she was in a dilemma for a while. Hearing Tiger Servant say this, she was moved first, and then felt it was inappropriate, shook her head and said, "No, this kind of pampering, I'm afraid it's difficult to become a great weapon. If you are so picky, you would rather live such a precarious life and stay in the Green Jade Hall, then we will leave you in the Green Jade Hall when we return to the mountain."

In fact, in order to cure the little bear, the pill she gave Tianlu could even be used by the Jin Dan stage. In exchange for spirit jade, the clear dew bought was enough for the little bear to eat for more than ten years, and she killed nine people for it. It is not a big deal to send a few more people to take the clear dew. Tiger Servant naturally arranged it for her. But Ruan Ci's mind was made up, and her tone became lighter when she spoke to the little bear. The black-and-white flying bear blinked, looked at Tianlu, and then at Ruan Ci, and suddenly shouted a few times. Tiger Servant listened carefully and smiled, "It's really a cunning little bear. It's just bargaining. Miss Ci said so, and it feels that it doesn't matter if it doesn't drink clear dew, it's very good to have bamboo to eat."

Everyone couldn't help but smile. Ruan Ci handed over the spirit fruit and asked, "Then, do you want to eat it or not?"

The little bear held the spirit fruit and gnawed it, eating it with juice all over its face. Tiger Servant laughed, "This bear is ghost-smart, but its face is honest. In the future, I'm afraid Tianlu's head will be bullied by the bear again."

Wang Panpan was sleeping beside Ruan Ci. At this time, it stretched, hissed at the little bear, and its tail exploded. The little bear trembled with fright. Wang Panpan was satisfied, changed its posture and coiled down, meowing, "A Foundation Establishment little bear, still want to be arrogant? If you don't listen, I will scratch you once I see you, let you know my power."

Ruan Ci smiled, "Not bad, Panpan is the most powerful big monster in the North Ghost Continent. By my side, who can be fiercer than Panpan?"

Tiger Servant hadn't spoken yet, Tianlu first gave an 'eh', and asked suspiciously, "But the North Ghost Continent is a Buddhist world, there are no monsters?"

Wang Panpan jumped up and was about to catch Tianlu. Tianlu was so scared that he hugged the bear and turned around to run. Ruan Ci laughed so hard that she couldn't sit still. The room was noisy. Several Merman Concubines walked in and smiled, "Miss Ci, the Jin Bo Sect just cast a fragrant invitation, inviting us to be guests at the Guanfeng Small Meeting tomorrow."

Ruan Ci took the book and looked at it, couldn't help but smile, handed the note to Tiger Servant, and said, "Senior Brother Li asked me to wait for two days, so he was waiting for this—this Guanfeng Small Meeting, it seems to be opened specifically for me."

Tiger Servant was the most sophisticated among the spirit pets. After pondering for a moment, he said, "It seems that the Jin Bo Sect intends to keep Miss's life here."

Ruan Ci smiled, "You look at the prize for winning the Guanfeng Small Meeting, and you will know that it is a conspiracy I cannot refuse. I don't know what magic tools the sect has sent to the Jin Bo Sect in these few days."

She stood up and said happily, "Good! It's refreshing! Everything will be decided tomorrow!"

As she said this, she went to find Li Pingyan and calculated the actions for tomorrow.

Hmm~ I hope I can write some drafts every day while I'm out...

What do you think the Sect Master prepared as a prize for winning?

In addition, I saw comments saying that it was still written as a romance novel. I have a lot of question marks. It's almost 600,000 words. How much of the drama related to feelings is there? I said before, I don't like cultivation novels that are all about love, and I don't like cultivation novels without any emotional drama. I just like novels with a certain amount of emotional drama and closely combined with the plot

And I hope everyone must look at the emotional drama of this article with an open attitude. The world of this article is very different from reality. There is no reason why the emotional logic is exactly the same as the real world. There must be differences
