"Tsk, you're such a sissy." The man in the bamboo hat curled his lips, then came closer, as if he wanted to say something intimate: "Hey, you are——"
Xue Huan moved away from him and said, "Just talk if you want to. There's no need to get so close."
The man in the bamboo hat was a little angry and asked, "How did you get out?"
Xue Huan: "??? How did that come out?"
"You're pretending to be nice to me. Okay, let me be honest with you. I'm Gu Yan from the Gu family. You must have heard of me."
Seeing Xue Huan's bewildered expression, Gu Yan's eyes widened. "No way? You haven't even heard of me?"
Xue Huan thought, "Are you famous? Why should I know about it?"
She spread her hands and said, "Sorry, I really hadn't heard of it. But I have heard of it now."
Gu Yan had a suffocating expression on his face. "During one of my training sessions, I accidentally fell into a spatial crack. When I woke up, I found myself in the secular world. The spiritual energy here is so thin that I don't even dare to use the cleansing technique. I thought I'd never be able to return in this lifetime, but I didn't expect to meet you."
"I guess you must have run away from home secretly, right?"
Gu Yan winked at her.
Seeing how relaxed and leisurely he looks, and how he's in the mood to come here to gamble on stones and go shopping, it must be because he has a way to go back!
Xue Huan pondered his words. Gu Yan said that he fell into a space crack and woke up in the secular world. So he must not have been in the secular world before, but in a place opposite to the "secular world", where the spiritual energy was rich... at least richer than the secular world.
Let’s temporarily define that place as the “Immortal Cultivation World”. For some reason, Gu Yan misunderstood and thought that she was also a cultivator from the Immortal Cultivation World, so he asked her how she got out.
Then they guessed that she had run away secretly.
This shows that it is not easy to get out of the world of immortal cultivation. Similarly, it is also difficult to get in, otherwise Gu Yan would not have said, "I thought I could never go back in this life."
Xue Huan recalled her previous series of actions. If there was anything that made her different from ordinary people, one was that she always caught the rough materials containing jade, and the other was that she took out the semi-finished monk equipment such as the treasure bag.
If Gu Yan is also a cultivator, then he must also have spiritual awareness. This would explain why there are so many raw materials containing jade on his stall, because he can also see through it!
Putting himself in her shoes, he must have become suspicious when he saw that all the items in her circle contained raw jadeite, and guessed that she was also a cultivator, but he did not rule out the possibility that she was just lucky. But then, when she took out the treasure bag, he completely confirmed her identity!
Because there are very few cultivators in the secular world, and the spiritual energy is so thin that it is almost non-existent, it is impossible to provide enough for many cultivators. So after guessing her identity, Gu Yan naturally thought that she and he came from the same place.
In this way, everything he said before had a reason!
In order to make her believe him, Gu Yan did not hesitate to reveal his identity. This shows that he is indeed very famous in the world of immortal cultivation, or that his Gu family is quite powerful, or both.
So he was certain that after hearing his identity, she would not, or dared not, do anything bad to him.
And why did Gu Yan guess that she ran away secretly?
If her previous speculations were all true, then would it be possible for her to enter that world of immortal cultivation?
She had previously realized that the ceiling of worldly cultivation was the peak of the Qi Refining Stage, and guessed that to solve this problem, she would either have to go to a higher level interface or change the world. Unexpectedly, she would now meet someone from a "higher level world".
Xue Huan's heartbeat quickened.
Her mind raced as she quickly created a persona for herself. "How did you know? I did come here secretly, intending to play for a while before leaving."
Gu Yan had an expression that said, "That's what I guessed." "Looking at your leisurely look, I knew you came here on your own. You're nothing like me, who came here without knowing what was going on. I was already injured, and I've almost used up all the talismans and pills on me.
"Unfortunately, the spiritual energy here is so thin that even a month of meditation isn't as good as an hour of my original practice. After a few months, the spiritual energy in my dantian has not only not increased, but has decreased!"
He sat down on a large, flat rock and started to complain to Xue Huan.
They say how good life was before and how miserable life is now.
Xue Huan occasionally agreed with a few words, which earned Gu Yan's deep approval. He felt that they were both wanderers in the same world.
Little did he know that Xue Huan was just trying to trick him.
Through Gu Yan's complaints, she also had some basic understanding of the spiritual world, which was the place where he originally stayed.
The spiritual world and the mortal world are actually still in the same plane, but there is a barrier between the two places. People in the mortal world cannot find the entrance to the barrier, and even if they find it, they cannot enter.
But people from the spiritual world can enter the secular world.
However, compared with the spiritual world, the spiritual energy in the mortal world is too thin, and people in the spiritual world would never seek trouble by running to the mortal world.
To give a simple example, people living in plains with abundant oxygen will have difficulty breathing when they go to plateaus with thin oxygen, which will cause various diseases, and in severe cases, even death.
People in the spiritual world have adapted to the environment of abundant spiritual energy in the spiritual world. Once they arrive in the secular world, they will definitely feel extremely uncomfortable. Moreover, the secular world naturally suppresses people in the spiritual world.
When people from the spiritual world come to the mortal world, their cultivation level will be greatly restricted. Even if they were originally in the Foundation Establishment Stage or Golden Core Stage, they will be suppressed to the Qi Refining Stage.
This is to prevent overly powerful people from the spiritual world from causing massive damage after entering the mortal world. It can be regarded as a kind of balance in the way of heaven.
If a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the spiritual world is compared to a shark, then when he arrives in the mortal world, he is just a stranded shark, unable to exert his original power at all. He may even be greatly constrained and may be killed if he is not careful.
The most crucial thing is that the barrier that separates the spiritual world from the secular world generally only allows exit but not entry. Once you leave the spiritual world, it is difficult to go back.
Therefore, people from the spiritual world basically will not come to the secular world.
But there are exceptions.
For example, someone like Gu Yan fell into a space crack and accidentally landed in the mortal world.
Others, having lived in the spirit world since childhood, are curious about the mundane world and want to experience it, just like a rich young man born without any experience of suffering who goes to experience life in the mortal world.
In Gu Yan's opinion, Zhao Yu is just like that.
As for why he didn't feel that he was a person from the secular world? Could people from the secular world cultivate to the point where they could release spiritual consciousness? Spiritual consciousness wasn't something one had to possess from the very beginning of cultivation. One had to reach at least the middle stage of Qi Refining, or even the late stage of Qi Refining.
In this secular environment, even if someone could practice and reach this level, the possibility is extremely small.
However, what made him confirm that Zhao Yu was from the spiritual world was the storage magic weapon he took out that day.
