After receiving the things, Loran Hill did not leave immediately, but chatted with the senior sister just now.
The two walked in the market, talking as they walked.
"Where does Jialan come from?"
"I came from the Western Continent, but when I woke up I was in Minzezhou, and I have forgotten some things." Loran Hill briefly talked about his past.
"Is that so? Don't be discouraged, I'll remember it slowly. Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm from Bai'erzhou, my name is Su Ye, and I was recently promoted to the inner sect."
"Although I'm only at the fifth level, you can still ask me some basic cultivation knowledge. I happen to be relatively free recently." Su Ye said cheerfully.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Su Ye." Loran Hill did have a lot of questions to ask. After all, this person was a disciple who came to visit, and the situation he knew was much closer to the truth than the practitioners outside.
"I heard that to advance to the fourth level, one needs to undergo some illusion tests. What kind of tests are there for the fifth level?"
"Well, I didn't expect Jialan to ask the key question right away." Su Ye smoothed the hair on her shoulders, and then began to tell the story in detail.
"Compared to the past, cultivation nowadays places greater emphasis on the heart and will. Even the basic structure of the transcendental core has undergone some changes."
"The first 1-2 stages are just differences in basic structure, but starting from the third stage, things become different."
"The third stage tests one's intelligence. If one cannot control one's instincts, it will be difficult to pass. This is easy for humans, but difficult for monsters and the like. However, if they pass this test, they will become slightly smarter."
"At the fourth stage, when advancing, you'll be invaded by hallucinations. These illusions are bizarre and varied, some tempting, some terrifying, and they can cause confusion and greatly interfere with the advancement process."
"At the fifth level, one will be disturbed by phantoms when advancing. According to some senior brothers, it's just like facing the Chaos Phantom, only slightly weaker, and won't attack directly. But if the spirit is not strong enough, one will faint, lose their mind, or something like that."
"Sixth Stage. When advancing, a distorted phantom will directly attack you, shocking your mind. If your will is not strong, you will suddenly lose control and become mentally confused."
"I don't know about the level above that, because the most powerful Senior Sister Jinhua in the sect is only at the sixth level." After saying that, she turned her head, looked at Luo Lanxier, and spoke.
"But don't underestimate Senior Sister Jinhua. Although she's only at level six, even some level seven monsters in the outside world can't defeat her. And although I've reached level five, if it really came down to a life-and-death duel, I'd probably need 20 of me to defeat Senior Sister Jinhua."
"The reason why they are called "Shangmen" is because they are very thoughtful, their cultivation of extraordinary skills is superb, and they have few weaknesses. In the outside world, they can usually easily fight against opponents of higher levels."
"For example, if I were to exterminate a sixth-order demon beast, it would be troublesome, but it would only be troublesome."
"Many independent cultivators or those from unorthodox sects use some tricks and unorthodox methods to advance quickly. Although they can reach a high level this way, their own strength will be affected and it will be easy for others to find their flaws. In addition, such tricks can usually only be used 1-2 times, and after that, the possibility of further advancement will be cut off." Su Ye warned Luo Lanxier not to easily believe in any shortcut pills or secret techniques, as many of them are just deceptions.
"However, there are also methods that take these shortcuts and unorthodox approaches to the extreme, elevating them to a higher level and then improving their own abilities. That's the Devil's Heart. This path takes an unconventional approach, is a desperate gamble, and is extremely dangerous. But if it is mastered, it often brings extraordinary strength."
"Okay, that's basically what I want to say. The rest will become clear slowly once you reach the corresponding level of practice." After Su Ye finished speaking, he took Loran Hill to a shop.
"Let's buy some clothes first. The gauze dress that Uncle Lian Yin gave you can be worn outside, and for inner wear, you can choose some comfortable clothes that you like."
After saying that, Su Ye took Loran Hill into the shop, where there were many cloths and ready-made clothes hanging in the shop, with novel styles. There were oriental flowing feather clothes, long-sleeved skirts, and cultivation robes, as well as western lace dresses, Gothic gauze skirts, black dresses, etc., which made Loran Hill secretly amazed.
"Refilica, I'm here." Su Ye shouted after entering the door, as if he was very familiar with the owner here.
"Yeah." A calm and gentle female voice came from the store, as if she didn't care about his arrival.
"Is he inside?" Su Ye walked forward and found the owner behind a wardrobe.
"Sure enough, you're here drinking tea and reading, so leisurely." Su Ye started chatting with him. Seeing his carefree look, he seemed to have temporarily forgotten the girl outside.
Loran Hill didn't care about such trivial matters. Instead, he walked slowly between the wardrobes, looking at the clothes that combined Eastern and Western styles. They had both the slim fit and lace of the West and the elegance and flowing style of the East, giving people a strange charm.
After a while, Su Ye suddenly remembered the important matter, patted his head, and jumped out.
"This is Jia Lan. She is also from the Western Continent. Maybe you know each other and can get along well." Su Ye pushed the girl's shoulder and walked over with small steps.
"How could it be such a coincidence? I've been here for years, how could I recognize you..."
A woman in a vintage, pleated dress sat by a small window. She wore an exquisite headdress of crimson flowers and white lace, tied by a white ribbon to her fair chin. Her upper body was draped in a crimson shawl, the edges trimmed with layers of red and white lace. Her dress was equally intricate, with lace ruffles and bows adorning the hem. It was the kind of court dress that, for the sake of beauty, was lavishly and elaborately executed.
The woman had golden hair and light red eyes. When she saw Loran Hill, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, and then she suddenly changed her tone.
"Maybe, I really know him..."
"What's your name?" There seemed to be some interest in her light red eyes.
"My name is Jialan..." Loran Hill looked at the woman and felt a kind and familiar atmosphere, as if he had first met Tidaisi and Si Ye.
"Well, my name is Refilica, or you can call me 'Red Dress'." The woman stretched out her slender fingers, pressed them on her chin, and thought for a moment.
"Well, you can call me 'Chefeng'." Luo Lanxier seemed to understand and answered.
"I don't understand what you are talking about. Is this a unique Western way of greeting, or some name, nickname or something like that?" Su Ye interrupted, feeling a little out of place.
"So Su Ye should read more books. It's always good to learn more." Refilica stood up, asked the two to sit down, then walked to the side, brewed a pot of tea, and brought it over.
Clear tea with a light red hue was poured into the enameled white porcelain cup. A slight sound of water was heard and a light white mist floated up, allowing the two to smell the fragrance of tea with a light sweet taste.
"I don't have anything else to treat you, is black tea okay?"
