Chapter 21 Two Dead Cities
The Holy Maiden of Pure Heart spread her divine consciousness to cover the two towns.
Not only is Shanghe Town a dead city, but even Xiahe Town is a dead city! The so-called life of the people here is nothing but a group of corpses moving around!
No wonder the Red Dust Patriarch, who could shake the hearts of immortals and gods, didn't cause any waves when he came here. How could a dead man have feelings for a beautiful woman!
She was horrified; she had never seen such a scene before.
There are eight small towns near the Red Dust Pure Land. What worries the Holy Maiden of Pure Heart is whether the situation in the other six towns is the same as here.
The other six towns were far away from here and beyond the reach of her spiritual sense.
Fortunately, Jiang Li gave an answer quickly.
"Everything is normal in the other six towns." Jiang Li thought for a moment and explained, "They are all alive."
The Holy Maiden of Pure Heart thought to herself that it would be better if you didn’t explain.
The divine consciousness of the Holy Maiden of Pure Heart can cover two small towns because she can only cover two small towns.
Jiang Li’s spiritual sense can cover eight towns because there are only eight towns.
Even though all six towns were normal, the Holy Maiden of Pure Heart was not happy.
"How long has it been since you last came here? Even a person in the Spiritual Transformation Stage wouldn't be like this."
This method of making a corpse maintain its activities when alive is extremely advanced, and only someone at the Spirit Transformation Stage can discover the clues.
The Saintess of Pure Heart explained in a depressed mood: "The Spiritual Valley is already a small matter in the eyes of the elders of the sect. There is no need to worry about the Spiritual Valley having problems. Therefore, the sect will only send those disciples who have no hope of cultivation and are only in the Golden Core stage to be stationed here. Let a Yuanying stage manager manage the eight towns, and there will be no problems."
"But now there is a big problem!" Jiang Li said seriously.
The two came to the tavern below and were warmly received by the waiter.
"Oh, you two guests look unfamiliar. You must be from outside. This is rare. Is this a fairy from the mortal world?"
Seeing the stunning beauty of Saint Jingxin, the waiter asked uncertainly. Saint Jingxin did not say anything but just nodded.
"Waiter, let me ask you something."
Jiang Li took out a low-grade spirit stone and placed it on the table.
"Sir, this is impossible. You two are nobles who have come from the mortal world. How can I accept your money?" The waiter was shocked and quickly refused.
After some refusal, the waiter finally accepted the spirit stone.
Transactions here are made with copper coins, and a low-grade spirit stone is a very rare item.
The Holy Maiden of Pure Heart raised her eyebrows slightly. The waiter's movements were natural and smooth, without any stiffness. With the naked eye, there was no difference between him and a living person.
She used her spiritual sense to carefully look at the waiter and found that there was a poisonous insect in his dantian and sea of consciousness. The two poisonous insects were male and female. One controlled the actions and the other controlled the thoughts. It was a very technical method of controlling corpses.
It was the Gu Clan's unique method of controlling corpses! And as far as she knew, the disciple stationed here was a Gu Clan member!
She kept her discovery to herself and quietly watched Jiang Li talking to the waiter.
"Have any particularly beautiful fairies passed by here in recent years?"
The waiter said without hesitation: "You know what, two years ago, no, it was three years ago, a fairy who was as beautiful as if she walked out of a painting passed by here. Everyone didn't even eat, and ran out to see her, but the fairy didn't even look at us, and walked straight past barefoot. Some people wanted to follow the fairy, but were stopped by Fairy Yuan."
"Fairy Yuan is..."
"It's the Fairy Yuan Ling who is in charge here."
"So Fairy Yuan Ling also saw the beautiful woman in the painting. How did she react? Did she show an infatuated look? Did she go forward and kidnap her?"
The waiter was startled and quickly whispered, "Sir, please don't say anything nonsense. Fairy Yuan Ling would never lose her composure like this. She looked normal and just praised her lightly, saying she was so beautiful."
The Holy Maiden of Pure Heart frowned slightly. Junior Sister Yuan Ling was a Gu person, so she naturally couldn't be the descendant of the Hongchen Patriarch. Why wasn't she affected either?
Strange things.
Jiang Li seemed not to notice the problem and chatted with the waiter about this and that, such as how the harvest was this year, where Yuan Ling was now, how many spirit stones Hongchen Pure Land used to purchase the spirit grains, and whether there were any deductions and so on.
The waiter thought that the two men were sent by the Red Dust Pure Land to investigate, and answered truthfully one by one.
Finally, Jiang Li asked with a smile: "Do you know that you are dead?"
The waiter asked in bewilderment, "Sir, what are you talking about?"
"Haha, just a joke." Jiang Li laughed and let the confused waiter continue with his work.

"Did Yuan Ling do it?"
"Don't jump to conclusions so quickly. You heard it too. Yuan Ling is not influenced by the Red Dust Fairy. This matter is not as simple as it seems."
"Yuan Ling should only be at the Jindan stage, and judging from the level of Gu worm cultivation, these people are not like living people, and they don't even know that they are dead. How can they be produced by the Jindan stage?"
"And it's not necessarily only the Gu tribe that can use Gu."
Jiang Li has been traveling around the world for many years and has seen all kinds of strange things. Naturally, he thinks more than Jingxin, the saint who only went down the mountain for a symbolic stroll for a few years before returning to the sect.
Unfortunately, the Gu Clan declined and chose to live in seclusion, so Jiang Li didn't know much about the Gu Clan.
"Yuan Ling is not here. I don't know where she went."
"Let's go to Xiahe Town. I noticed that there is a female Jindan cultivator in Xiahe Town. She should be one of yours." Jiang Li used his spiritual sense to scan Shanghe Town and Xiahe Town again, but did not find any Jindan stage aura in Shanghe Town.
…
Du Xiner sat cross-legged in a cheap spirit gathering array, practicing hard. She didn't know what happened in recent years. Her spiritual power didn't increase at all. She felt that her body was like a leaky bucket, and the same amount of spiritual energy that went in came out.
"Maybe I'm really not suited to cultivation. Coming here is suitable for me." Du Xiner said self-deprecatingly. She felt that she had made the right choice to come to Xiahe Town. "People like me would be a burden if I stayed in the sect. It's better to come out."
"Who said you are a burden?" A crisp voice sounded in Du Xiner's ears. Only then did she realize that the Holy Maiden Jingxin was standing in front of her, and next to her stood a handsome man.
But for some reason, there seemed to be tears in the saint's eyes.
How could the Holy Maiden Jingxin not feel sad? She didn't have a deep impression of Yuan Ling, but she had a deep impression of Du Xiner.
The sisters in the Jindan stage felt that she was a saint who was high and mighty, and did not dare to approach her. Among the Jindan stage, only Du Xiner dared to frequently ask her about knowledge of cultivation.
But after not seeing each other for a few years, we are already separated by the Yin and Yang.
In the eyes of the Holy Maiden of Pure Heart, Du Xin'er was also a moving corpse! "I am sorry for you. I am negligent in my duty..."
The Holy Maiden Jingxin knelt on the ground, hugged Du Xiner, and sobbed.
Du Xiner didn't know the situation, so she had to remain sitting cross-legged and gently patted the back of the Holy Maiden of Pure Heart.
