“…This road is so poorly built.”
Geng Qiaoer couldn't help but sigh when she saw the Jiang'an Avenue which had been preliminarily completed.
Upon hearing this, the three of them also began to look at Jiang'an Avenue.
This was Lu Qing's first time observing this magnificent project spanning two states.
Jiang'an Avenue is nearly eight lanes wide, but amidst the mountains, it's reduced to four lanes. Fences run along both sides, and at regular intervals, there are simple temporary structures for pedestrians to rest, as well as empty shelves for safety equipment.
Cultivators at the Jindan stage and above can learn the ability to fly. Yuanying stage cultivators can even soar freely through the sky.
However, this ability consumes a lot of spiritual energy and is only suitable for short-distance flights.
If the distance is extended, even the monks will not be able to bear it.
Therefore, ordinary monks who do not have flying treasures will still choose ground vehicles or mounts when traveling.
"Digging a tunnel in this kind of mountain terrain is time-consuming and laborious. If we could build a bridge across it from the rear, it would be much easier." Geng Qiaoer pointed south of Jiang'an Avenue, then towards the mountains below. "Look, there are so many abandoned tunnels here, and the mountain is in such bad shape."
“It’s a bit rough indeed.”
Today's era cannot be compared with Geng Qiaoer's era in terms of spiritual technology.
"That's the tunnel the two sisters disappeared in, right?" Li Rulan pointed to the tunnel surrounded by stone walls between the mountains below.
"According to Chengying, at first, a few remaining cultivators entered and never came out again. Then, the Immortal Alliance sent a Jindan cultivator in, but there was also no news of him. Then, it was the two sisters Lingzhu and Lingshan..."
"There are monks over there. Why don't we catch them... uh, ask them?" Yun Wan asked, pointing to a shed in the south.
"Okay."
Yun Wan went there directly.
Li Rulan had an idea and let the wind into the tunnel, feeling the situation inside.
One of Geng Qiaoer's eyes lit up red as she stared at the mountain in the tunnel.
Lu Qing was watching the two of them from the side.
"There's something like liquid stuck in the tunnel."
"That's it!"
Geng Qiaoer's eyes lit up and she made a move to charge.
However, he was stopped by Li Rulan.
"Strangeness is dangerous. No matter how small the strangeness is, it should not be underestimated. Don't be impulsive."
"good."
Geng Qiaoer rushed down a bit and then came back up again. Her posture was as graceful and natural as a figure skater.
At this time, Yun Wan also flew out of the shed and returned to the three of them.
"The person in charge is not here, so they don't know anything." Yun Wan sighed.
"Then you'll have to go and see for yourself."
The four of them landed in the stone wall, looking at the deep tunnel and feeling the situation inside.
"It seems that this weirdness has not spread into a weird place. It's just that body of water. The wind can blow in, but once it blows in, I can't interfere."
"This is the first time I've seen this weird liquid! I wonder what it does..."
"I read in a book that there's a strange thing that normally appears as a sticky liquid. But when it encounters a prey, it immediately attacks and devours the prey. After devouring it, the liquid can even mimic the appearance of the prey and possess some of its characteristics and abilities. This strange thing's weakness is cold..."
Lu Qing's expression remained normal and he did not express any opinion.
After all, he saw a dark tunnel.
"If the weirdness is out in the open, visible and tangible, it's easy to solve."
"Um."
Geng Qiaoer echoed in agreement, and grabbed a rock from the mountain on the side.
Then, she held the rock in her hands, which were covered with several metal wires, and slowly compressed it.
There were constant crisp crackling sounds, and rock chips kept falling between her hands.
After a few seconds, the rock in Geng Qiaoer's hand turned into a smooth and dense stone ball.
Geng Qiaoer then connected the metal wire to the stone ball.
Yun Wan suddenly turned her head and looked at the stone ball in Geng Qiaoer's hand.
Lu Qing cast a questioning look.
Yun Wan had a strange expression on his face, and with his mouth open, he explained to Lu Qing, "...The stone ball in Senior Geng's hand seems to have an aura similar to that of a spirit. Perhaps I'm mistaken."
"Of course it's not a spirit," Geng Qiaoer said. "I'm just imitating a spirit, giving this puppet a bit of spirituality so it can be more useful when exploring the way later."
"Soul!?" Yun Wan couldn't sit still anymore.
With her knowledge, she had never heard of a cultivator who could pinch the soul with his bare hands, not even an imitation of the soul!
Yun Wan clearly felt the aroma of food from Geng Qiaoer's stone ball!
"Here, this is it."
Geng Qiaoer freed one hand and used metal thread to weave a dim light the size of a soybean.
Then, like throwing a marble, he threw it to Yun Wan.
Yun Wan quickly took it with both hands.
Lu Qing stood next to Yun Wan, looking at her as if she was holding a treasure, and was also a little curious.
"... This... There is actually such a technique in this world!?"
"Can you use this thing?"
Yun Wan nodded silently to Lu Qing.
"If there's a chance, I'll ask Senior Geng for some advice."
Yun Wan nodded a few more times, looking a little excited.
"Is this the thing?"
Li Rulan's voice was heard from the side again.
