Chapter 130: Pengpeng Sending Treasures

Pengpeng Sending Treasures

In the quiet room, the incense smoke was faint, flowing along the ground. Pale white smoke curled and rolled, like a fairy realm in the clouds. In the center of the room, a young girl was sitting cross-legged, about fourteen or fifteen years old. Her five hearts were facing the sky, and her eyes were closed tightly. Clearly, she was practicing with all her heart. If viewed from the momentum field, it was like a spiritual energy vortex, absorbing the pure spiritual energy from outside the house endlessly, swallowing it without a trace.

I don't know how long it took, the vortex finally gradually dissipated, but there was still an undercurrent absorbing spiritual energy outward every moment. The girl groaned lightly, opened her eyes and got up, waved her long sleeves, and drove away the smoke, frowning, "What kind of precious medicine, it has no use for me at all."

She sighed lightly, looking worried, extinguished the incense burner, pondered for a while, then pulled out the residual incense, wrote an incense note at will, rang the bell to call the maid, and said, "Send this residual incense to Zhuoyue Cliff and let He Tong use it... ah, I forgot, He Tong has already returned to his hometown to seek medicine for Li Tong and the others."

Since she entered the sect, it had been forty years. He Tong and others also opened their meridians and practiced one after another. Among them, He Tong had the thickest talent and stayed in the Qi Condensation stage for twenty years. Not long after Ruan Ci returned to the mountain for closed-door cultivation, he returned to the Nine Kingdoms to find precious medicine and built his own Foundation Establishment, forging a six-layer phantom. Now he was also a Foundation Establishment second-layer cultivator, who could enter and exit the Zixu Heaven and listen to Ruan Ci's orders. As for Li Ji, Li Tong and others, after all, the rewards obtained by the servants were limited, but they only completed the Qi Condensation stage a few years ago. He Tong returned to his hometown to seek medicine for them, which was also to prepare for forging the Dao foundation, so that they could handle some miscellaneous affairs for Ruan Ci.

The maids in the Zixu Heaven mostly had Foundation Establishment cultivation. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid that when a cultivator recruited a batch of newcomers, they wouldn't be familiar with them, and after one closed-door cultivation, the servants serving them would have long been old, or even changed for several generations. Hearing Ruan Ci say this, the maid smiled, "He Tong returned three years ago. Now several sisters have achieved Foundation Establishment, just waiting for the young lady to leave the customs, and then come to pay a visit."

Ruan Ci counted with her fingers. Her closed-door cultivation had also passed for nine years and nearly ten years. She nodded and sighed, "Then go. That's right, what about Qin Fengyu? She has been in closed-door cultivation for thirty years. Has she not come out yet?"

The maid shook her head, "I haven't heard that Miss Qin Fengyu has left the customs. When Seeing Tianlu comes next time, the maid will definitely remember to inquire."

There were more than a hundred maids sent by True Person Wang to serve her. Because Ruan Ci was mostly in closed-door cultivation in the mountain, she was not familiar with them. After talking for a few sentences, she sent her away, picked up a tea cake brought by the maid and took a bite, and thought to herself, "It turns out that the snacks outside the North North Youzhou taste like this."

She frowned, and couldn't help but tut, sighing, "Still like this!"

It turned out that Ruan Ci took the time-related spiritual object this time, but it was not like when she opened the meridians. Once she crossed back, she immediately practiced "Yin Jun Yi Yan Huan Dan Ge Zhu," but felt that her sea of consciousness was unstable, and it could even be said that this trip gave birth to serious hidden dangers—originally, the three people she crossed over, Chang Chunfeng, Qu Pingting, and Di Elder Elder Diwu Cang, although they were all older than Ruan Ci, most of the time they were in closed-door cultivation and practicing Dharma, with very few miscellaneous thoughts in their sea of consciousness. Even Qu Pingting could be said to have had a life experience that was not worth mentioning, and Di Elder Elder Diwu Cang, if he excluded the cultivation in the cave dwelling and those times of fooling around, the truly memorable moments were only a few days. Therefore, Ruan Ci digested them without difficulty, and after returning from the illusion, she had never regarded herself as someone else.

But this trip to the North North Youzhou was different from all others. Ling Yuan's life was different from everyone else's. His practice was to transcend the dead souls, which was to check and experience the birth, old age, sickness, death, joys and sorrows of mortals. Ling Yuan spent more than three hundred years in such days, far exceeding Ruan Ci's current lifespan. After Foundation Establishment, her sea of consciousness was wider, and her observation was more careful. She remembered all those emotions, which could be said that Ling Yuan's memories far exceeded her own encounters. Therefore, after returning, she often felt tired, as if her spiritual platform could not bear these heavy emotions, and sometimes she would even think that she had lived in the North North Youzhou for more than three hundred years, didn't know about the affairs outside the continent, and regarded herself as Ling Yuan, while Ruan Ci became the story Ling Yuan had seen.

This was naturally an extremely dangerous sign. No matter how bold Ruan Ci was, she didn't dare to cross the imaginary numbers in such a situation. She could only practice "Qinghua Secret Record," trying to temper her state of mind and discard this strange feeling. But she had experienced all the illusions of the fall of the sword-seeds. It was this death of Ling Yuan that made Ruan Ci most unable to let go. Every time she thought of it, she felt sad and helpless. In the past few years, she often shed tears.

Everyone she met in her life was a person who was good at planning, whether it was friends, relatives, or teachers, or even the father and son and master and disciple she had seen. In the deep emotions, there was always a plan for her own interests. This was actually a common thing. Living in the world, especially in a world like Langhuan Zhou Tian, naturally one had to plan for oneself. But it was precisely because of this that Ling Yuan's pure and open-minded kindness, which did not seek any return, shocked Ruan Ci even more. Ling Yuan was the only one among all the encounters who died because of her, but still gave all his kindness, and even didn't want to increase the burden, only wishing her to act according to her nature.

Such a pure and transparent person died under the Donghua Sword. That residual soul had already reincarnated two more times, right? This time he returned to the Nether Earth, his spiritual platform was clear again, and without Ling Yuan, did he feel a little more pain? And that imaginary number, was it even more attractive and tempting?

In fact, even if Ling Yuan was alive, he probably wouldn't walk out of the North North Youzhou in his life, still quietly transcending the dead souls in the North North Youzhou, until his Dao path was exhausted and his life ended. But Ruan Ci was always entangled in this and couldn't forget it. Even if she lit the spirit incense, it was just a futile struggle. She knew that if she didn't let go, this matter would probably brew into a heart demon. If this continued, not to mention improving her cultivation, even her Dao heart would be shaken.

Originally, she wanted to fade away with time, but time was extremely limited. Now there were only three years left before the trip to the Cold Rain Swamp. If she didn't practice Dharma cultivation again, she would have to take those two pills. Ruan Ci was not very willing in her heart, but she also knew that she couldn't force the Dharma. She paced back and forth in the quiet room for a long time, and finally left the customs gloomily, found the maid and asked, "What about Wang Panpan, where did she go?"

The maids all said, "Miss Wang Panpan is probably at Zhuoyue Cliff."

Ruan Ci nodded, "You don't need to report, I will go find her myself."

She was also trapped in a besieged city for a long time and wanted to go out for a walk. If it really didn't work, she would go to find True Person Wang to talk—True Person Wang might not know that she was practicing Dharma cultivation. If she wanted to talk, she could only go to him. But Ruan Ci had been entangled and depressed for so long, and True Person Wang still didn't say a word. I think there must be karma that she couldn't understand yet, so Ruan Ci didn't want to go to see him.

With her current cultivation, she was also equal to the wind and the moon. Even if she drove the spirit car, it was not a problem. But Ruan Ci was lazy to set up the frame. She came out of the Zixu Heaven and flew lazily toward Zhuoyue Cliff. She also remembered that she didn't know if Ruan Rong had left the customs. After the two sisters met last time, Ruan Rong returned to the Seven Star Small Abode for closed-door cultivation. She was really able to hold her temper, and she didn't know if she had secretly gone out to play.

Ruan Ci thought again that her sister didn't leave the Seven Star Small Abode, naturally because everyone linked the Donghua Sword's luck to her. Even on the Luyumingtang, when True Person Wang explained the cause and effect stars to her, among the big stars connected to her, her sister's was also sword-qi vertical and horizontal, and one could see at a glance that it was the luck of the Donghua sword-wielding wing. I think besides the cover of the Heavenly Fate Cloud Child, the elders also did some tricks in the middle, which was probably related to the blood relationship between them. Ruan Ci could go out to gain experience freely, in fact, someone was secretly sacrificing for her.

Thinking of this, she felt it was meaningless, sighed long, as if she wanted to breathe out all the frustration in her heart, but heard someone giggle in the distance, saying, "So it's the sword-wielding wing, why are you full of worries? What worries do you have that the Spirit Flower Jade Wall your sister gave you can't resolve?"

These words sounded sour and full of articles. Ruan Ci looked at it and saw a girl in a colorful skirt standing beautifully in the direction of the spiritual sense Peak. Who was it if not Chi Pengpeng? Her heart was very happy, called "Senior Sister Chi," and hurriedly held back her greetings, only using her eyes to greet Chi Pengpeng, coughed lightly, and said, "So Senior Sister Chi has also returned from the Butterfly Valley. Oh, I forgot, the Butterfly Valley can't have any trouble, it's much more stable than the Hengze Heaven. If it were Senior Sister who went to the Hengze Heaven, she might not be able to come back."

Chi Pengpeng couldn't help but giggle, "I know, Junior Sister Ci showed off her power outside the gate, not only returned safely from the Hengze Heaven, but also showed off her limelight in the Jin Bo Sect. Now who in the sect dares to make things difficult for you?"

Her tone was still sour, Ruan Ci said, "But Senior Sister is still making things difficult for me now, isn't she?"

She drew her sword with a "clang," and Chi Pengpeng couldn't help but take half a step back in the air. Ruan Ci found it extremely funny, and the smile couldn't help but escape from her eyes. Suddenly, her heart didn't feel so melancholy anymore. She said coldly, "Senior Sister, if you are not convinced, why don't we find a place to compare?"

Chi Pengpeng puffed out her chest and tried her best, "I'm afraid of you? You just draw the line."

Ruan Ci thought, "Sister Chi and I are of the same sect, so even if we have some interactions, her master does not seem to oppose it. Otherwise, if we joined forces outside the mountain, she would inevitably be admonished by her master upon returning. Looking at Sister Chi's demeanor, it is clear that True Person Ouyang is not strict; he just wants to put on a show so others don't think he intends to reconcile with the Sect Master's lineage."

Since that was the case, she chose a secluded spot, set up a hidden illusion array, and slightly obscured her spiritual sense. From the outside, the illusion array appeared to have spiritual power surging endlessly, as if someone were fighting intensely inside. Inside the array, however, there was a low table with a chessboard on it. Ruan Ci smiled, "Today we will have a literary battle; we will only compare chess skills."

Chi Pengpeng said, "If we are playing chess, wouldn't I be sure to beat you?"

The two sat cross-legged and talked about anecdotes since they last parted. Chi Pengpeng had clearly gained a lot from this trip, and her cultivation had increased significantly. She had trained in the Wan Diegu for ten years, then drifted downstream from the Yiyun Ferry to the Baoyun Ferry to watch the excitement. After returning to the Yiyun Ferry, she changed boats and went south to tour the scenery, while also killing demons and exploring secrets. She only returned to the mountain five years ago when she had exhausted her interest. However, not long after, she had to go out again on official business to garrison a lower sect, and along the way, she would search for the precious medicine needed for her Core Formation. She might be away for hundreds of years, or perhaps she would only return to the sect after forming her core.

Of the dozen or so people who had trained together at Huang Shoushan, fewer than five were still alive today. Chi Pengpeng was deeply moved as she listened to Ruan Ci recount the recent status of Li Pingyan, Sister Little Lian, and others. She said, "I have met many friends on this trip, but when I returned along the original path to visit them, more than half were already gone. It is said that human relationships among cultivators are as thin as paper; it is truly a case of meeting rarely and parting often. Every time we part, we never know if we will meet again."

She sighed again, "Although I trained in the Wan Diegu for ten years, in that illusionary realm, I lived as a butterfly, experiencing cycles of life and death, as if I had spent over a hundred years. If not for the mental cultivation method bestowed by my grandmaster, which helped me clear my spiritual platform and stabilize my true self, I would have found it hard to distinguish whether I dreamed of being a butterfly or the butterfly dreamed of me. Even now that I have returned, I still feel a sense of things being different. Hearing you speak of the ups and downs of those old acquaintances feels like ancient history, and I only feel a faint melancholy in my heart. Even Sister Meng's face, I can barely remember clearly."

Ruan Ci's heart jumped when she heard this. Sure enough, it took her a long time to recall the beautiful face of Meng Lingyue, and her heart was filled with boundless melancholy. She could only let out a long sigh, "Although we cultivators have longer lives than ordinary people, our emotions are much thinner. As we continue to fade like this, what is left in our hearts that truly belongs to us?"

Chi Pengpeng was also drawn into sighing a few times before frowning and saying, "Junior Sister Ci, why are you speaking so despondently? When I saw you this time, you clearly should have been in high spirits, yet your brows are filled with sorrow. What is wrong? Does your Dao heart have a layer of dust on it?"

Ruan Ci also sighed at her keen observation, forced a smile, and excused herself, "This is a long story, but I have indeed been restless lately. It feels as if I have too many thoughts, always lingering in my inner landscape, leaving my spiritual platform clouded for a long time. If the cultivation method Sister Chi obtained can be passed on, I would like to take a look at it."

In this universe, there is no rule against passing on cultivation methods. If it is a precious method, there are naturally other taboos, and even if the recipient wants to pass it on, they cannot. Sometimes, like the method for opening apertures taught by Qin Qin Fengyu, or the "Songs and Annotations of the Yin Lord's Intent Returning Pill" that Chen Jun showed Ruan Ci, they are passed on freely without incurring karma. Chi Pengpeng didn't mind much and casually handed over a jade slip, smiling, "It's just some techniques for mental cultivation, not really a full method. Take it, Junior Sister."

Ruan Ci did not take it for nothing and naturally offered precious medicine in return. Chi Pengpeng smiled, "No rush. When I arrive at the lower sect and get settled, if I lack anything, I will naturally send word to you."

Ruan Ci saw through the situation clearly: when the two parted last time, Chi Pengpeng had mentioned that it would be inconvenient to interact after returning to the sect. Now, laughing and chatting on Zixu Mountain, it is evident that her lineage's recent success in the Jin Bo Sect has also led the Jiezhe Long Tian in the pot to place bets on both sides. Chi Pengpeng's behavioral norms have thus relaxed slightly.

Getting help from others is ultimately a good thing. The two talked happily and made plans for the future. Ruan Ci decided not to go to Zhuoyue Cliff to find Wang Wang Panpan. She still had doubts about whether the time was right to discuss what she had seen in North North Youzhou with Wang Wang Panpan. Furthermore, she had come because of her inner restlessness, and now that she had obtained the mental method, she was satisfied. Since the fate had arrived and the interest was exhausted, it was time to return to the mountain to continue her seclusion. This was also a habit she had gradually developed after listening to True Person Wang discuss stars and fruits that night.

"How... coincidental."

Flying high in the sky, she couldn't help but reach out to touch the jade slip, then glanced at the clear blue sky and the scorching sun, muttering to herself, "Whatever I lack, it appears. If I look into it closely, it is perfectly reasonable... Is it fate, is it karma, or..."

Ruan Ci looked up and happened to see a strange cloud, which looked just like that invisible hand behind the sky, having just pushed a chess piece and now raising its wrist to pull it back.

Updated, sorry for the wait everyone, I had spring pancakes for lunch today~

I love eating the golden chicken leg meat bits and tender chicken from Lu Lu Renjia; the main thing is that the seasoning is good and not too greasy. No wonder they can open so many branches!

I will send out the red envelopes for the comments on yesterday's chapter after the next update.

Correction, what I am reading is not "Joy on the Brows," but "Joy on the Forehead," a novel from the Dian site, sweat.

I feel that although Ling Yuan only appeared for two chapters, his popularity ranking is not low!
