Chapter 88: Flourishing

Flourishing

Low-level cultivators peeping at the high level, even if it is just a glance, may cause the Dao foundation to shatter and die!

This law seems to span two universes and still hasn't failed. And the higher the cultivation base, the stronger the backlash. When Ruan Ci was a mortal, she curiously looked at Xie Yanhuan. Because she knew nothing at the time, her eyes just stung. But if Ruan Ci had known how many magical powers the Nascent Soul power had at that time, the backlash that day would likely have taken her life. At this moment, she has the East Florescence Sword to suppress it, so it doesn't matter. But Junior Brother Fan was caught off guard and was afraid that he had peeped at the posture of the Cave Heaven power. Therefore, he adjusted his breathing for more than half an hour before suppressing the turmoil in the inner landscape world, and then took several pills in succession, and his face turned rosy again. He smiled bitterly, "Fortunately, my cultivation base is still shallow. The higher the cultivation base, the stronger the backlash of peeping at the upper level. If it is Jin Dan or Nascent Soul cultivation, peeping at the Cave Heaven true body will cause great harm to the Dao path."

Foundation Establishment cultivators peeping at Jin Dan will not suffer too serious backlash, but it will not be too comfortable. Ruan Ci apologized, "It was my lack of consideration. Before saying these things next time, I should remind Junior Brother to do protection."

Junior Brother Fan waved his hand, but didn't care, "It's my own lack of experience. After suffering this loss, I will naturally know it later. How can I ask Senior Brother to be so considerate in advance?"

He sometimes has a very delicate mind. Senior Brother Xu just had some contempt, and Junior Brother Fan laid an ambush. Even if there was no assassination, I am afraid that he would have to understand Senior Brother Xu's life. But because of Ruan Ci, he suffered such a loss, but he didn't care, and even admired Ruan Ci more. He smiled, "In the sect, I often feel very lonely. Senior brothers and sisters can't talk together. Today I saw Senior Brother Ci, and I felt that I found a confidant. I have always been proud of being smart, but compared with Senior Brother Ci's vision, it seems that I lack that height, that spirit, just like a frog at the bottom of a well."

Compared with Ruan Ci, he naturally has less time, and his interpretation of this place can only rely on Ruan Ci's insights. But Ruan Ci dare not underestimate Junior Brother Fan at all. Knowing where one's own deficiencies lie is actually a very rare aptitude. If he gets the East Florescence Sword, I am afraid that his achievements will not be lower than the current Ruan Ci. She said, "Since the key to this place is known, it is better to go back and meet with Senior Brother Li and decide on the future actions together. As for the Jin Dan city area, or even the Nascent Soul and Cave Heaven city areas, it is not the time to break in now."

Junior Brother Fan had no objection. The two walked back and soon met Li Pingyan who was looking for them. After telling the story of Senior Brother Xu and others, Li Pingyan also said, "I said why the three of us didn't do it today, but only I came to resign. It turns out that there is such a story. This Senior Brother Xu still has some scheming, and his vision is indeed insufficient."

He also said, "Once this job is resigned, it is difficult to go back. The city defense quota is limited, only recruiting fifty people. Half of them have been recruited today. After we resign, we will not be selected again. In these few days, the vacancies should be filled quickly."

Ruan Ci said, "If there are fifty vacancies in the eight city gates, those disciples who are qualified to compete for Jade Dew will probably be recruited by 20%."

Only by showing enough ability at the city gate can one be recruited. Junior Brother Fan said, "There are also some cultivators, like little brother, who, although they have some strength, just want to come and see, so they are at ease. Once the city defense is arranged, they will naturally join it. Those who really want to compete for Jade Dew may look at the wind and then decide on their actions. By the time they make a decision, the candidates for the city defense team will have another change. By then, I am afraid that some people will die."

Li Pingyan's judgment is believed to be the common understanding of many people. If Jade Dew is born, it is not at the highest point in the city, but on the most intense battlefield. This is also the result of reasoning according to common sense. Those old cultivators investigate from many sides, and it probably takes a few days to find out. Naturally, they will find that the most ideal position to compete for Jade Dew is city defense. After all, those small cultivators can only serve in merchants and logistics, and it is difficult to witness the battlefield directly. The news on the city wall will be more informed. Even if there is no clue about Jade Dew, being able to watch the Dao struggle at the closest distance is also a rare opportunity.

It happened that Li Pingyan and Junior Brother Fan resigned directly because of Ruan Ci's words, which made Ruan Ci a little embarrassed, and sighed, "If what I worry about doesn't come true, then I have delayed the two senior brothers."

Li Pingyan said, "When you go out to experience, everything is decided by yourself. Why does Junior Brother Ci say this?"

Junior Brother Fan also smiled, "There are many ways to witness the Dao struggle. The harvest from talking with Senior Brother for a few more days is far better than doing those coolie work on the city wall and earning so-called talisman coins."

He was so obedient to Ruan Ci, and Li Pingyan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Ruan Ci threw an inquiring look, Ruan Ci shook her head slightly, indicating that she had not exposed her identity, and said, "The accommodation in the city is extremely cheap, and the spiritual energy for cultivation is not rare. The two senior brothers worked for a day on the city wall, and the talisman coins earned are enough to live in the inn for several months. It is better to practice in seclusion for a period of time first, and when you have leisure, walk around the city, and go to the high platform in the city, and then act according to the situation."

Both had no objection. Li Pingyan said, "Even if the talisman coins are not enough, it doesn't matter. There are many miscellaneous jobs in the city's business firms that need people to do. Just to offset the room fee, and occasionally do a few days of work, it is enough."

He also smiled, "It's just because of different concepts, the precious materials and spiritual medicine in the city are extremely cheap. I think this trip to Hengze Heaven will be much more peaceful than we thought. With such a good opportunity, everyone is probably busy making money. Who is still fighting and killing? Maybe, the most dead people will be on the poisonous ship that came from Yiyunbei."

He is indeed experienced in the rivers and lakes. Mentioning this in front of Junior Brother Fan is the tone of others, without revealing that Ruan Ci was actually on that ship. Ruan Ci also pretended not to know, and asked, "Speaking of which, before I was involved in Hengze Heaven, I saw everyone join forces to kill a cultivator on the beach of Baoyun Coast. That is—"

Junior Brother Fan said, "It should be the cultivator who luckily survived on the poisonous ship. The disciples of the Poison Sect must be among them. So after that ship docked, Baoyun Ferry has been secretly searching for the people on that ship, turning the threat into invisible for their own nephews. However, it seems that they were not all killed. Before I entered the door, the cultivators were passing around a trace of aura, saying that it was the fish that slipped through the net."

He talked about this matter very calmly, not like it had anything to do with him. Ruan Ci thought, "This person is probably from the magic sect, but not necessarily from the Poison Sect. There is only a trace of aura. Is the fish that slipped through the net me? Could it be that the Poison Sect disciples really didn't enter Hengze Heaven, and ran away after killing people? Or after killing so many people, they didn't even enter Hengze Heaven, and were killed outside the door?"

She also thought, "If he wants to plot Hengze Jade Dew, he shouldn't have taken action on the ship. Cultivators who entered the door before had precautions. After entering the door, cultivators who hold the poison avoidance mantra will naturally be more than before. For him, poisoning will become more difficult. Maybe he didn't intend to enter Hengze Heaven at all, just took the opportunity to kill his opponents on the ship, and didn't care about hurting others."

The three talked about the Poison Sect disciples, although cautious, but not as fearful as before. It was mainly because there were frequent disputes in Hengze Heaven before, and not everyone could hold multiple great mantras at all times, which made it easy for Poison Sect disciples to take advantage of it. Now that the Dao struggle is ahead and the rules in the city are strict, the lives of most cultivators have stabilized, so holding an extra mantra is not a difficult thing, which will seriously weaken the performance of Poison Sect disciples.

Junior Brother Fan didn't care, and smiled, "In this Dao City, what can he do? The ability of the Poison Sect is only useful in chaotic and narrow places. Once there is order, it is very easy to deal with. No one in this Dao City can tell whether there is really a Jin Dan cultivator. If there is, it is just a flick of a finger to solve the poison. Although the Poison Sect is a prosperous sect, it only knows how to poison. In my opinion, it is not as daunting as a few famous prosperous sects."

Li Pingyan also deeply agreed. Because of mentioning Jin Dan cultivators, the three discussed whether Jin Dan cultivators would appear in this Dao City. After all, everyone knows that there are only jade pools and high platforms here. According to common sense, they cannot phantom shadow residents of the Jin Dan stage. But since knowing that this is the residence of the Dao Ancestor, Li Pingyan and Junior Brother Fan can't help but worry about gains and losses, only feeling that the Dao Ancestor is omnipotent, maybe there are really Jin Dan stage residents, hidden in another page of the book, but never seen by Langhuan cultivators.

Ruan Ci said, "Actually, we don't know whether Hengze Heaven only has jade pools and high platforms left. What we know is that the spiritual pressure at the intersection of Hengze Heaven and Langhuan Zhou Tian is extremely unstable and can hardly carry spiritual sense and magic power above Foundation Establishment. This is different from other broken Cave Heavens. The real Hengze Heaven should be in the spiritual energy vortex in the depths of Baoyun Sea. No one knows how much of the inner landscape world remains."

Having said that, after everyone walks into the depths, it is really possible to encounter Jin Dan existence. Li Pingyan and Junior Brother Fan's faces changed. Li Pingyan said, "That's it, we don't go out to cause trouble anyway. Whether there is Jin Dan existence, I believe someone will test it for us."

Langhuan cultivators have always been the most daring. When he said this, the two couldn't help but hang smiles on their lips. Junior Brother Fan took the opportunity to rent a courtyard in the inn where the two stayed. Since then, the three have joined forces to practice in the cave, and did not come out to participate in the Dao struggle.

Unknowingly, a month has passed. During this month, nearly a thousand cultivators came to the Qingcheng Gate area, and the inns and hostels here became lively. The three of them didn't just practice bitterly. Li Pingyan and Junior Brother Fan often came out to make friends with cultivators. Only Ruan Ci, because her identity was more sensitive, was afraid that many people noticed her silver hairpin when she entered the city, so she hid it tightly.

These Langhuan cultivators had prepared themselves for a brutal slaughter before entering the city, but to their surprise, everything in this Eternal Dao City was in perfect order. Just days after entering, more than a dozen people were sent to the Spirit-Severing Prison for being too reckless and violating the laws. Everyone quickly became well-behaved. Soon, they were shocked to discover the city's extremely low prices, and they no longer had the heart to fight each other, all searching for jobs in the city, hunting for treasures, or even just enjoying spiritual food. The atmosphere in the city was harmonious, one could even say thriving. Many praised life in the Dao City, sighing that this was merely a phantom of the past, and wondering when they would ever have such carefree, immortal days again in the Langhuan Zhou Heaven.

Li Pingyan and Junior Brother Fan were both determined. Such enjoyment could not move them, but they were just inquiring about whether any cultivators walked towards the center of the city. This was indeed the case, and they were not blocked. But when they walked under the high platform, the pressure was too great, and they didn't have the mind to climb up, so they retreated.

"Dao Ancestor pressure, is it a joke." Ruan Ci sighed, "It seems that if Jade Dew is born in that place, we don't have special opportunities, we can't get it."

Jade Dew birth will have special movements, which cannot be concealed. There are signs wherever it falls, and it is not born in a place that can be obtained every time. If you are unlucky, everyone in the city can only look and sigh. Li Pingyan said, "This is not urgent for a while, anyway, there is still a period of time, let's look at luck then. Now let's talk about the Dao struggle that is close at hand—it seems that the war will start tomorrow. The friend I just made has successfully entered the city defense, and pointed out a high building for us, which can see the scenery outside the city. How about it, do you have any interest in seeing this excitement?"

He is very good at socializing. This connection is because everyone knew Captain Zhu before. It happened that the city defense team had vacancies, so Li Pingyan introduced them. In this way, he made a good friend. Although the three of them did not want to participate in the Dao struggle, who would want to miss such a grand event? At the moment, they all agreed happily, and early the next morning, they waited at the agreed place.

Updated, sorry for the long wait. The word count of this chapter is a bit small. It seems that I was particularly uncomfortable when writing it. Sweat, everyone please forgive me.

I haven't decided what to eat for lunch today. I'm hesitant between the five combinations of cowpea braised noodles + small wontons, pancakes + snail noodles, pepper pork tripe chicken soup rice, tender beef five-sided + fries, sauerkraut dumplings + cold noodles...

(And I didn't see a book that I liked yesterday, hey... I took out my "Zuan Qing"...
