Chapter 249: Sisters in One Quilt

After crossing a piece of brilliant brilliance, what fell in front was a layer of gray haziness.

Ji You walked into it, having a feeling of traveling through a tunnel, only feeling the echo of his footsteps exceptionally clear.

After a long while, with a breeze blowing on his face, the fragrance of grass and trees also began to come with the wind gradually. A flashing white mist appeared in front of Ji You's eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived in an open world.

The first thing that appeared in front of his eyes was a vast grassland, extending forward in an arc.

Under the breeze, the clear sky shone directly, a piece of thick green.

Ji You stopped, looked around, and found that everyone who stepped into this place a step earlier couldn't help but stop, and began to breathe slowly. As their aura circulated, it actually became mysterious and unpredictable.

Even more so, an aura of being about to break through the realm faintly radiated from their bodies.

These people were all upper-realm contestants, and they were only a step away from the next realm. Now that they were in this place where the spiritual energy was so rich that it was almost substantial, it was like being gently pushed by an invisible giant hand, closer to breaking through.

It really was a good place, and it was no wonder so many people were fighting to get in.

Ji You also began to adjust his breathing at this time, breathing slowly.

In an instant, the spiritual energy in his body surged madly like a surging tide, instantly filling him.

Immediately after, the spiritual energy was like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, surging out from his broken lotus-like spiritual element, turning into a surging river, rushing and colliding between his limbs and bones, the surging power almost breaking out of his body.

At this time, with a 'bang', a whistling aura was instantly lifted.

Everyone came back to their senses and saw the twin siblings of the Chen Immortal Clan take the lead, their feet flashing with spiritual light as they turned into a faint light and swept away.

They came here to practice, and feeling the mystery for the first time, they naturally didn't want to waste time on the periphery, thinking only of the very center of the Sages' Holy Land.

Ji You also stopped breathing at this time, and after his aura calmed down, he looked around.

Every time he arrived in a strange environment, he didn't rush to the destination, but was used to checking the surrounding environment first.

Looking and looking, his brows frowned slightly.

Zhuang Zixin, Zhu Yao, Li Yunlang, and others were a step ahead of him, standing on a slope not far from him, looking at each other.

Their eyes carried scrutiny, then they gathered together by coincidence, and after a few words, they walked toward the southwest together.

These three didn't belong to the same sect, nor were they in the same noble family, and the Central Prefecture, Lingzhou, and Yuzhou where they were located were also far apart.

Ji You hadn't heard that they had old acquaintances before, and hadn't seen them talk at the previous Heavenly Dao Assembly. Walking together suddenly made people feel surprised.

And they were clearly here for the first time, but it seemed like they had some destination to go to.

"Ji You."

While pondering, a soft call by his ear suddenly attracted his attention.

Fang Ruoming, dressed similarly to him, came across the grass in white: "I heard that the closer you are to the center, the less barrier there is to the human-heaven sensing. Someone once crossed three realms here, and after going out, they were already a great power of one side. Now that you have obtained the opportunity, you must grasp it tightly."

Ji You turned to look at him: "Where does Fang Ruo brother plan to go?"

"Practice is after all a person's business. I plan to find a relatively quiet place."

"So that's how it is."

Fang Ruoming chatted with him for a while, then bowed and said goodbye, walking along the grass sea.

Many of the remaining people also left one after another, moving forward along the direction the wind blew.

Seeing that the people who came in walked more and more scattered, Ji You didn't stay, heading toward the depths, and before long saw a wider grass sea.

The terrain here went all the way down, and the front was a dense mountain forest, dark and quiet between layers.

From Ji You's perspective, what could be clearly distinguished were the three low mountains slightly poking their heads in the mountains.

According to the previous map annotation, the very center of the Sages' Holy Land was between these three low mountains.

Ji You used force lightly under his feet, and as his energy splashed, the spiritual energy in his body also began to whistle.

And after the scorching heat within his physique radiated outward, his entire person instantly transformed into a mass of phantom light, whistling away along the sea of grass, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished into the mountain forest at the edge of the grass sea.

"Bang!"

After a muffled sound of air waves being squeezed and exploded, Ji You landed on a cliff, and the jade plaque on his waist began to flash continuously.

The human-heaven sensing here was indeed increasing infinitely. Even if he didn't enter meditation, nor did he use spiritual sense, he still felt that there seemed to be Dao laws roaring in his ears, making people's hearts tremble.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't ask his heart, he might have already crossed the threshold of the Merging with the Dao Realm at this moment.

Ji You recited silently, then looked toward the belly of the valley.

For thousands of years, the Sages' Holy Land has been visited by geniuses every five years, so this place is not purely wild.

In his sight, Ji You saw a long road paved with stone slabs, with several slightly dusty stone lamps standing around it.

And not far from the stone lamps, there were several thatched huts, the wooden boards patched on them seeming to indicate that they had been repaired many times.

These thatched huts should have been built by those who entered to practice before, and later repaired by successive cultivators.

In front of the house, there was also a wooden tea table, and several tree stumps acting as stools, which should have been made from local materials.

After watching for a while, Ji You fell from the cliff, found an empty space and sat cross-legged, closing his eyes gently.

Chen Luo and Chen Xi also arrived at the north side between the three low mountains at this time, and their eyes were a bit surprised after seeing Ji You.

Because they set off earlier than Ji You, they didn't expect to be a step slower than him in the end.

At this moment, the siblings suddenly realized that the spiritual energy here was constantly flowing, gradually gathering toward Ji You, and finally condensed like a vortex, constantly sinking into Ji You.

The improvement of a cultivator's realm is an upgrade between human and Heavenly Dao sensing, and it shouldn't need too much spiritual energy in the process.

The two felt suspicious, but before they could think carefully, they felt a swaying scorching heat rising from the valley. As the heat wave rushed toward them, the fine hairs on the siblings' arms began to stand up continuously.

At this moment, Ji You had already ignited the surging spiritual fire in his body, burning along the surging spiritual river in his body.

During these few days of the Heavenly Dao Assembly, except for dueling and kissing, he had been refining his body, and the soreness representing the approach of the pass had faintly appeared.

So he planned to use the pure and rich spiritual energy here to impact the next pass of the physical body realm first.

"What a strange way of practicing..."

"A rural private cultivator wanting to take the top spot in the Heavenly Dao Assembly, it wouldn't be strange if it wasn't strange, but it was a bit of a crooked path after all."

The spiritual energy in the Sages' Holy Land was actually purer than the spiritual energy in spirit stones, and it was faintly catching up to the richness of the spirit core.

And airflow usually flows from the rich place to the thin place, so with the opening of the mysterious light door, the spiritual energy in it was continuously overflowing toward the mountain forest outside.

Countless people who came to send them off couldn't help but close their eyes and breathe at the door, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to get some benefits.

However, as Ji You and others left the grass sea at the entrance one after another, the mysterious light door began to close slowly, and the flow of spiritual energy began to become thin, and finally was cut off.

Those who entered meditation on the spot couldn't help but open their eyes, looking at the gradually disappearing mysterious light, their eyes full of complexity.

Just being outside the door could feel infinite benefits, so what would happen after going in, especially after entering the very center, they didn't even dare to think about.

This Heavenly Dao Assembly duel, although there were strong and weak among them, they were all in the same realm after all, and from today on, the gap between those inside and outside the door would become larger and larger.

Cao Jingsong couldn't help but feel a bit trembling, and the scene of his wayward disciple appearing at the Responding to Heaven Realm had already appeared in his mind: "How long will it take for them to come out?"

"Depends on aptitude."

"Aptitude?"

Qin Zhangshi nodded: "The Heavenly Dao laws are pervasive in the Sages' Holy Land. If the aptitude is not enough, forcibly realizing the Dao might have a backlash. Basically, when they encounter a bottleneck, they will understand that it is time to leave."

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi stood proudly on the carriage at this time, looking at the dissipating mysterious light, her eyelashes dyed golden by the morning light trembling slightly.

Although she hoped that Ji You wouldn't come out too quickly because she was afraid, since the moment Ji You's figure disappeared into the mysterious light, she found that she had already started to miss him.

Thinking carefully, the origin of this longing should be knowing that it would take a long time for him to come out, and it was not like before, where they could meet in the spirit appraisal or correspond by letter, so her emotions began to repeat in advance.

And holding the same thoughts was also Yuan Caiwei, the daughter of the Pill Sect.

She had been with Ji You for a short time, and even the kissing hadn't been enough.

It seemed like divine inspiration, both of them turned their heads at the same time, wanting to see what the other party who was thinking of the same man would look like, and as a result, their gazes met.

Since they had already met, it was not good to look away, so the two walked together.

"Is Sister Caiwei going back to the mountain next?"

"Hmm, younger brother is trying to control the sacred tool. This is related to the future of my Pill Sect, so I can't be slack. As an elder sister, I want to go back to protect the Dao for him. What about the Appraisal Master?"

Yuan Caiwei hadn't prepared enough psychological preparation to call her sister yet, but she had removed the word 'younger sister'.

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi looked at the direction Ji You left: "I can't be away from Spirit Sword Mountain for a long time. Since the Heavenly Dao Assembly has ended, I must return to the mountain immediately and continue to practice in seclusion."

Yuan Caiwei nodded after hearing this: "It seems we are going to part ways here. It's a pity that we sisters haven't seen each other for a long time and can't spend more time together."

However, if they really become 【sisters in one quilt】 in the future, there might be many opportunities to get along.

Yuan Caiwei thought to herself, and suddenly found the Little Appraisal Master narrowing her eyes, staring at her vigilantly, seeming to have thought of this matter too.

After saying goodbye to Yuan Caiwei, Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi sat back on the carriage.

Yuan Caiwei also turned and got on the carriage. Before leaving, she lifted the curtain and waved gently toward Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi.

Then the red carriage moved with the spiritual energy and flew away, and other Immortal Sect noble families also returned to their own Dao arenas one after another. Flying swords and carriages were across the void, and underneath was a wave of dust dancing lifted by the carriages.

After speeding all the way, Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu, who served, suddenly saw a piece of gold gradually unfolding in front of their eyes.

As the breeze blew, the wheat waves were layered, and there were many people using spiritual energy to control sickles, harvesting wheat ears.

The two's eyes gradually became surprised, and after being stunned for a long time, they looked at their own Appraisal Master.

Cui'er looked at the strange environment below at this time, and also had a feeling of confusion: "Appraisal Master, we seem to have gone the wrong way..."

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi said calmly: "I don't know how long it will take to come down again after returning to the mountain this time. Ding Yao complained before that it was boring to stay on the mountain, so I took her to walk around casually before returning to the mountain..."

Ding Yao: "?"

Cui'er suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."

Spirit Sword Mountain is in the autumn season, and it should already be full of red leaves and beautiful scenery.

However, everyone has seen such scenery for more than ten years, and no matter how beautiful it is, they will feel bored.

The Appraisal Master is in seclusion, short for half a year and long for a year. It is not easy to go down the mountain this time, so it is reasonable to walk around more, Cui'er expressed understanding.

Only Ding Yao, who was named, thought that the Appraisal Master's mouth was really hard. Clearly, she wanted to go back and hear people call her Ji family's wife and young mistress again, but she insisted on saying that I felt it was boring on the mountain...

(←_←)

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi discovered Ding Yao's gaze, feeling that she was gossiping about her, couldn't help but narrow her eyes, revealing a dignified look.

The carriage sped all the way and soon landed in a county town.

After entering, it was the main road of the city. The first thing that came into view was a huge stone archway, surrounded by big aunts cooking in the open air. After seeing this carriage falling from the sky, they looked sideways one after another.

It is now the autumn harvest season. If it were the previous few years, even the old, weak, women, and children in the family would have to go to the fields, let alone them.

But with the participation of cultivators, harvesting didn't need too many people, so they took on the heavy responsibility of cooking big pot meals.

At this time, the gauze curtain on the carriage was lifted, and Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi walked down from it, attracting discussion.

"Look, the Ji family's wife is back."

"Ji family's wife... so dignified."

"I said last time, the Ji family's wife must be an Immortal Sect young lady."

Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu looked sideways one after another, looking at Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi's corners of the mouth that were pretending to be cold and proud but couldn't help but slightly curl up, couldn't help but look at each other.

The Appraisal Master never admitted that she liked Ji You, feeling that as the next generation Immortal Sect Abbot and sacred tool holder, falling into love was a thing that damaged dignity, so she called Ji You a stranger all day long, but she really liked being called Ji family's wife...

Cui'er: "?"

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi then came to the Ji family's old house, stopped at the door and looked at the three: "Go walk around other places."

Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu thought that the Appraisal Master, you are also too realistic. The son-in-law is not here, so you don't even enter the door. You come here just to hear a few 'Ji family's wife', right.

However, where to go and what to do was naturally decided by the Little Appraisal Master.

So the carriage soon left Yuyang and headed toward the direction of the Fengzhou government.

Yuyang County is Ji You's hometown, and Fengzhou government is the real Ji surname noble family. Naturally, both have to be taken care of.】

Half an hour later, the carriage landed in front of the Ji Village gate. Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi pretended to be dignified and lifted the gauze curtain, then walked down from above.

Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu were already familiar with the road. Only Cui'er, looking at the two words 'Ji Village' on the door plaque, had a face full of confusion.

The first thing she didn't understand was whether there was a typo on this door plaque.

Another thing she didn't understand was that the Appraisal Master originally said she was walking around casually, but this trip made her feel like it was very purposeful.

There were also those village women who called 'Ji family's wife' one after another, as if they were calling the Appraisal Master, making her feel even more confused.

However, just as Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi walked down from the carriage and intended to walk toward the Ji Village, a carriage sped over and stopped slowly in front of the Ji Village gate.

This carriage, very familiar, as if she had just seen it.

Then the curtain was lifted gently, and Yuan Caiwei's beautiful oval face was revealed from it.

She had heard before that Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi had already been to the Ji family. Although she didn't say it, she was actually full of envy in her heart.

Alchemists practice alchemy. To put it big, they can bring the dead back to life, but they don't have combat power. And the Pill Sect is located in the southeast of Liangzhou, thousands of miles away from Fengzhou, so it is not easy to travel.

So Yuan Caiwei came secretly, taking advantage of being closer to Fengzhou, to come and walk around.

At this time, the two plastic sisters looked at each other, speechless, their eyes a bit solidified.

【Younger brother is trying to control the spiritual tool, I want to return to the mountain to protect the Dao for him】

【I can't be away from Spirit Sword Mountain for a long time, I must return to practice immediately】

【It seems we are going to part ways here】

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi set off from Fengzhou to return to the mountain in the afternoon, and Yuan Caiwei was about the same. Before leaving, they walked around Fengzhou for a big circle, and even had a meal in the Ji Village before leaving.

On the way back with the carriage, Cui'er was still dazed, and many things couldn't be figured out.

The Appraisal Master shouldn't have been to Fengzhou, but she seemed to be familiar with everything. The people in that Ji Village also seemed to be very obedient to her, not like treating them as guests, but rather as the feeling of the master.

What is even more strange is that Fengzhou seems to be in the autumn harvest, and some of the food seems to be sent to the warehouse.

However, they were not sure about the ratio of sending in, and then a group of local officials in Fengzhou came together and asked their Appraisal Master for instructions.

The Appraisal Master said she didn't understand either, but those local officials in Fengzhou insisted that the Appraisal Master say a number, as if whatever the Appraisal Master said was whatever it was.

So their own Appraisal Master really studied it seriously, and then made a decision for Fengzhou, which is separated from Lingzhou by the ends of the earth, and seemed very happy after making the decision.

As the next Abbot of Spirit Sword Mountain, any decision made by the Appraisal Master will affect the entire Qingyun world.

Things like collecting food are actually worldly affairs, how can they enter the Appraisal Master's eyes.

But every time their own Appraisal Master makes a decision for Spirit Sword Mountain, she will be a bit resistant, but she is full of sense of achievement when making decisions for Fengzhou.

It also made her feel strange, the lunch before leaving.

The Appraisal Master seemed to want to treat Yuan girl from the Pill Sect as a guest, calling her a distinguished guest from afar, but Yuan girl didn't seem to want to be a guest, wanting to be her own family. Facing the Appraisal Master's 'distinguished guest' title, she immediately picked up food for her younger brother, saying eat more, distinguished guest...

Cui'er pondered for a long time, her expression silly.

At the same time, Cao Jingsong and his party plus Kuang Cheng and others had also returned to Shengjing.

The carriage traveled for a day and night and finally arrived early the next morning.

Cao Jingsong, who stepped into the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan gate, had a big chest and a look of looking down on everyone, pointing fingers at Ding Jiaoxi and Wang Jiaoxi Ma on the way.

In previous years, because Cao Jingsong was born in Fengzhou, he was the one with the least face among many instructors, and he was always the one being pointed at.

And this time returning, he began to point fingers at everyone indiscriminately.

Even, he pointed fingers at two inner courtyard Elders, but those two inner courtyard Elders had complex expressions, just pretending not to see, but didn't say anything.

"Dog-day Cao Jingsong, a bit too floating!"

"Don't blame him, if I could have a disciple like Ji You who could take the top spot in the Heavenly Dao Assembly, I would also float..."

"Eh, speaking of Ji You, didn't hear any news about Chu He in this Heavenly Dao Assembly? By reason, he should have been at the Profound Understanding Upper Realm. He must have been full of unwillingness to lose to Ji You back then, but he didn't participate in this Heavenly Dao Assembly. Does Ding Jiaoxi know why?"

"I don't know either. Although he was once my student, there has been no news since he left the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan. Speaking of which, Youzhou has been quite strange recently."

"Strange?"

"This year's Autumn Battle has ended, and I have already started preparing for this year's recruitment, but the few Youzhou disciples I was optimistic about all rejected me."

"Is it because my Heavenly Tian Shuyuan's reputation is... too rotten?"

"Ji You took the top spot, who dares to say my Heavenly Tian Shuyuan is rotten?"

"That guy is clearly an individual case. Such students can't be met in hundreds of years, so they can't be used as a reference."
