Chapter 238 Real-world Combat
The appearance of three female cultivators with such high cultivation levels at the market gate, especially since none of them had advanced bone age, was quite eye-catching.
However, in the cultivation world, the strong are respected. Those with low cultivation levels who cannot see through Ning Xuan and the others' cultivation levels do not dare to look directly at them openly, but instead steal a few glances.
Those with higher cultivation levels are bolder and will openly and honestly slap people in the face.
Yunxi in the middle is dressed in gorgeous clothes yet exudes an ethereal beauty.
Ning Xuan and Lin Yuhan were actually quite ethereal, and their dresses were very beautiful. However, they were probably used to modern life and usually deliberately restrained their aura. In addition, their cultivation levels were lower than Yun Xi's, so their aura was weaker than Yun Xi's.
Neither of them were used to having long hair in modern times, especially in Ningxuan's era, where although society had become more open, the general environment still valued hard work and frugality.
Therefore, Ning Xuan doesn't usually dress up deliberately, and her hair just goes with the flow, only reaching past her shoulders.
Since she was only going to the cultivation continent for one day, she didn't bother to grow her hair out. Instead, she simply put on an ancient-style hairpiece.
Lin Yuhan, like her, also opted for an ancient-style hair bun.
Without comparison, their hairstyles are also very beautiful. But with Yunxi as a comparison, their wigs become very obvious, lacking the shine and smoothness of Yunxi's.
Ning Xuan and Lin Yuhan only noticed the problem when they saw each other standing with Yun Xi.
"Looks like we shouldn't be lazy next time. Let's encourage our hair to grow first, then cut it when we get back. It seems like Yunxi has offended the maid, hahaha~" Lin Yuhan and Ning Xuan muttered to each other.
Ning Xuan nodded, "That's right, we still can't be lazy."
On their way to the restaurant, Ning Xuan and Lin Yuhan kept looking at the various stalls and shops along the roadside. If they found anything particularly interesting, they would walk over and ask about the price.
By the time they arrived at the restaurant, they had already bought quite a few trinkets, such as bracelet-shaped attack magic weapons, hairpins with defensive properties, and puppet pets that could move when spirit stones were placed on them.
Although they were all low-grade, they were enough for Ning Xuan and Lin Yuhan, and with Yun Xi being the big spender, the two of them were having a great time buying them.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, the three of them specifically chose a private room with a view of the outside scenery.
Yunxi directly ordered the signature dishes, and then introduced the local snacks and spiritual tea to Ningxuan and the other person. Seeing that they both wanted to try them, she ordered them all.
"Wow, this spirit rice smells so good!" Ning Xuan exclaimed sincerely as she looked at the bowl of high-grade spirit rice on the table, each grain of rice perfectly oval, plump, and translucent.
Lin Yuhan nodded, "It tastes like a giant version of pearl rice, it's absolutely amazing!"
"This high-grade spiritual rice is produced in small quantities, but it tastes really good and contains a lot of spiritual energy. At our level of cultivation, a small bowl a day is enough."
There are other dishes coming up, all imbued with spiritual energy; please try them.
Next, they tasted the paper-thin, colorful fish slices, the delicious snow beef rolls, and the fragrant, sweet-tasting spiritual tea...
While eating, Yunxi also talked about the origins of these dishes. For example, the Seven-Colored Fish is a specialty of the Canglan Continent. It can only be found in the Seven-Colored Lake of the Canglan Continent. Every seven hours, seven fish of seven different colors will appear, and there is only one of each color.
This fish doesn't have any special functions, but it tastes extremely delicious and is very popular among cultivators. It's very expensive, so some rogue cultivators on the Canglan Continent wait by the Seven-Colored Lake to catch the Seven-Colored Fish.
Fortunately, each cultivator needs to wait at least seven days before eating this fish a second time, which is why Yunxi was able to order it in advance.
Having eaten and drunk their fill, Ning Xuan and her group had been in the Canglan Continent for most of the day. They had another important purpose for coming here: to practice fighting monsters.
Moreover, they had rested during their meal, so they planned to go directly to the wilderness to fight monsters.
Considering that Ning Xuan and Lin Yuhan lacked practical experience, Yun Xi suggested that they go to a nearby open secret realm to practice against some low-level monsters.
Ning Xuan and Lin Yuhan naturally followed Yun Xi's arrangements. After leaving the market, Ning Xuan and Lin Yuhan would no longer ride Yun Xi's flying magic weapon, but instead planned to practice flying on their own swords.
Both of them had actually flown invisibly on their swords in their own planes, but this was the first time they had done so openly.
"This feeling is different from flying on a sword while invisible. I don't have to worry about being seen. I can enjoy the feeling of the wind blowing on my face. It's so refreshing!" Ning Xuan exclaimed.
Lin Yuhan nodded, and suddenly an idea came to her mind, "How about we have a race to see who can fly to that hilltop first?"
Ning Xuan looked at the hilltop Lin Yuhan pointed to and became interested, "Okay, Yunxi, you can be the referee."
At Yunxi's command, Ning Xuan and Lin Yuhan dashed off like arrows released from a bow.
In just over ten seconds, Ning Xuan and Lin Yuhan arrived at their destination one after the other, with Ning Xuan narrowly winning by 0.1 seconds, just a tiny bit faster.
Neither of them cared about winning or losing; they were having so much fun flying that they stood with their hands on their hips and laughed heartily.
Seeing the two of them having so much fun, Yunxi smiled too.
After Ning Xuan and the other girl had calmed down, Yun Xi began to explain the situation of the secret realm to them.
"There aren't many monsters on the outer edge of the secret realm, and even the spiritual herbs have been completely harvested. We need to go further in; further in, we'll reach the territory where the snow rabbits roam."
Snow rabbits are not strong in attack, but they are very fast and agile, so beginners and those who practice with snow rabbits can quickly improve their reaction ability.
"Once you can quickly defeat the snow rabbit, we'll move further in. There will be some monsters with slightly higher attack power inside, but don't worry, there are no high-level monsters in this secret realm. With your cultivation levels, you should be able to handle them."
After listening to Yunxi's introduction, Ningxuan and Lin Yuhan were both eager to try it out.
Soon, they spotted the snow rabbit, and both of them immediately launched an attack.
Ning Xuan launched a water sword at him.
Lin Yuhan only released thorns.
This was Yunxi's reminder. Although the two of them were at the Golden Core stage and had cultivated more advanced techniques and spells, they lacked practical combat experience and did not use some basic techniques very frequently.
Therefore, Yunxi suggested that when dealing with low-level demonic beasts, one should start with basic cultivation techniques and gradually add higher-level techniques as needed.
Ning Xuan and Lin Yuhan were actually quite confident, after all, the snow rabbits here were all first or second-tier demonic beasts, while they were both at the Golden Core stage.
Unexpectedly, the slap in the face came so quickly and so scorchingly.
Just as their attacks were about to reach Yukito, Yukito, who had been facing away from them, suddenly darted away as if she had eyes.
Their attacks naturally missed.
Even the rabbit that Ning Xuan attacked turned around and glanced at her, as if to say, "That's it?"
