District 9
After the two disappeared, a blue light appeared not far from the teleportation array. Then, in a retreat room somewhere in Area 8, a foundation-building cultivator opened his eyes. He was furious and summoned the elders of Area 8!
"Someone killed my blood relative!"
"Issue a tracking order! No matter where they are in the lower three districts, they must be found and killed without mercy!!!"
The three elders accepted the order and bowed their heads respectfully: "Yes!!!"
Then, it scattered in all directions like a meteor!
——
Qian Luo, who was sleeping, didn't know that she had provoked a master in the Foundation Establishment Stage. She didn't know how long it had been before she opened her eyes and saw an unfamiliar cave. It was surrounded by weeds and a gurgling stream, like a paradise.
Apparently not in the cave in Area 8.
Where is this place? She had to prepare for the worst.
Lying on her was a puppy-like Sunflame Beast, soft all over and smelling of milk. It hummed and rubbed her with its wet nose.
"Damn Qian Daxue! Do you think I can do it without you?"
Qian Luo thought of his weird mumbling and said with disdain, she could still live well without him!
"Now I have a pet, a puppy, my little puppy!" Qian Luo turned her anger into strength, sucked madly, buried in his milky belly, and felt refreshed.
"Let me go, you evil master!"
The flameless Sunflamemon turned out to be a small animal with a cat face, deer antlers, cow eyes and dog tail. It had red and white fur and looked very cute. It had no attack power at all, but once its flames were restored, it would be different.
They would completely ignore his cute looks and only notice the dangerous flames.
"I just fed you the Netherworld Purple Flame and made you so plump. What's wrong with me sucking for a while?" Qian Luo grabbed his tail and said, "If you don't obey me, I'll spank you."
"snort!!!!"
He pouted in grievance, but he was too weak and helpless to resist.
With his keen sense of smell, he already knew that he was no longer in Area 8, but rather in an area he had never been to. Now that he had lost his flames and no offensive abilities, he was safest and most secure by his master's side.
Qian Luo put aside her unhappiness and saw that the environment here was good and no one seemed to come to disturb her, so she consolidated her cultivation again and asked the Sun Flame Beast to tell her story.
"Although I wasn't born yet, spirit beasts are born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so I know everything that happened outside."
It turns out that the Netherworld Purple Flame suddenly descended into the world, and the Sunflamemon thousands of miles away sensed something unusual. A Sunflamemon couple came to Area 8 to look for traces of the strange fire and feed their unborn child.
"But Mom and Dad didn't know that such a strange phenomenon would also attract greedy human monks. So when they saw the Sun Flame Beast, they set up traps to kill it, or forced them to sign spirit beast contracts."
The little cub sniffed, feeling very sad. "Then, when I was born, I was next to the strange fire. My five senses were clouded, and I didn't know where my parents went."
No wonder he treasures the strange fire so much. It turns out that it is his only "relative". As soon as he opens his eyes, he is accompanied by the Netherworld Purple Flame, which is the only thought his parents left him.
After hearing this, Qianluo stroked his fur and said, "It's okay. As long as we're alive, we'll meet again someday. Unlike me, I was born an orphan. One of my relatives died, and the other didn't want me anymore."
Sunflamemon's pupils instantly straightened up: "I don't want you anymore, is it that bad guy just now! Next time I see you, I'll help you beat him!"
No wonder I didn’t see that male monk, it turns out he abandoned his sister!
"Bah, next time I'll kill him with a breath of fire!"
He bared his teeth and clawed, breathing out fire, but not even a tiny flame could come out!
This little thing is quite pleasing to the eye.
Qian Luo was amused: "Alright, alright, this place is quiet and the spiritual energy is decent, suitable for you and me to consolidate our cultivation. Let's stay for a few more days. We don't know what the situation is like outside, so it's best to be able to protect ourselves."
"Good!" The Sun Flame Beast's cultivation level is now equivalent to that of a human cultivator at the fifth level of Qi training.
Qianluo fed him some more Netherworld Purple Flame, and the cub fell into a deep sleep. It was still better to be a spirit beast, because cultivation meant sleeping.
Although she is now at the third level of Qi training, she does not know many spells. She needs to take out Senior Lan Mingzhu's training notes and training techniques and study them carefully.
"The Mysterious Jade Art of the Orchid" is just right for cultivators with multiple spiritual roots. The first page is easy to understand, but the further you turn, the less sophisticated it seems...
After all, it is not a top-level martial art. She sighed and realized that even if you have fate, you can't force it.
As a cultivator with five spiritual roots, she first learned some simple spells, such as Entanglement, Rain, Rejuvenation, Earth Escape, and Cleansing...
It was unknown how long it took before she stopped practicing. While day and night rotated outside, she lived a peaceful life in the cave. She didn't know how Aunt Wenxiu was doing.
Did you leave Area 8 safely?
————
"Old Wang, this, this, this!" Wang Wenxiu squeezed into the smuggling entrance holding Wang Siyu, who had already drawn Qi into her body.
There are several service windows at each smuggling port, which collect fees, provide services, and issue smuggling documents and tickets. The service personnel are all cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training and are very superior.
If someone wants to sneak across by force, the people inside will not be pushovers.
After getting your documents stamped and buying a ticket, you can board the smuggling boat. This boat does not float on the sea, but flies in the sky. It passes through district and county barriers and usually flies to the previous district.
So, they are crowding onto the boat, heading to District 7!
The stowaway took a quick look and said, "Hmm, not bad. You've just started to draw Qi into your body at such a young age. You're at the first level of Qi training, right? You have good aptitude."
"Yes, sir, our child has three spiritual roots, and it's only been a few days since he started drawing Qi into his body. That's why we came to you just now, hoping to move up." Wang Wenxiu immediately put on her acting skills. She smiled wryly, looking like a pushover. "If it weren't for the child, why would we suffer so much? We've been staying in District 8 honestly. But for the child, look at us..."
The smuggler put on an official air and said seriously, "Although these are smuggling documents, as you know, it's actually permitted by the authorities and the policy. Your family happens to have a child who needs to draw Qi into their bodies, so your fees will be reduced by half. This is also a good policy benefit. We use the formal procedures here."
This statement was contradictory, but for the sake of her whole family, Wang Wenxiu nodded repeatedly and took out a heavy bag and handed it to the "official".
"The rest of the money will be used as a treat for you, as a thank you for your contributions to District 8 and to us, the grassroots people."
The stowaway's eyebrows curved. "Please keep the documents, ID, and tickets. Xiao Wang! Let the three of you go!"
The document was a piece of cardboard with a gold seal on it, exuding an aura of spirituality. It was done just like a formal procedure, and the district chief turned a blind eye.
"Let's go! Lao Wang!"
Wang Wutong immediately followed his wife and children, revealed the checkpoint, swiped his ID card, opened the documents, and checked the boat tickets. With a "beep", he successfully boarded the boat.
After squeezing onto the boat, Wang Wenxiu pulled her child into the small cabin, which was similar to a train compartment, with upper and lower bunks, a total of four seats, except that her family bought one extra seat.
"Lao Wang, what happened to you just now? No matter how I called you, you didn't listen. What's wrong? You want to stay in District 8, right? Then you go down now, Siyu and I will go to District 7!"
Wang Wenxiu kicked Wang Wutong, feeling unhappy when she thought about what had just happened. "Don't you know that we've spent all our money just to leave District 8? Do you know how expensive these smuggling documents and boat tickets are?"
"Wife, don't be angry. I heard someone next to me talking about something, so I squeezed in to listen for a while."
Wang Wutong squeezed over and whispered to his wife and daughter, "You guys better be alert in the middle of the night! I just heard them say there was a riot in District 9, that's why it's so crowded today!"
Wang Wenxiu was stunned. "There won't be any problems on the ship, right? After all, they all passed strict certification before entering."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hurried voice rang out from outside: "Show me your documents! Hurry up!!!"
Wang Wutong immediately opened the door and handed it over carefully.
The cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training glanced around impatiently for a moment, his gaze finally landing on the little girl, who was still young but had already drawn Qi into her body. He added, "There have been stowaways on the ship recently. You two should keep an eye on the child."
Wang Wutong was stunned for a moment, then nodded and bowed: "Okay, okay, thanks for the reminder!"
As soon as the door closed, his expression changed. He looked at his wife and daughter and said in a deep voice, "Things are about to change in District 9."
Wang Wenxiu held the child in her arms and muttered, "Then it's right for us to leave."
The spaceship started up, and she looked down through the layers of white clouds. It was District 8, where they had lived all their lives, and it was as small as an ant under their feet.
Wang Siyu held her chin with her hand, reluctantly asking, "Mom and Dad, will we still be able to see Sister Xiaoluo and Brother Ruixue?"
Children's feelings are the purest. She didn't know that everyone was so happy the night before and even drank.
After she ate the magical herb, she lost her memory. When she woke up, she found that she was no longer in the room, but was carried away by her parents. They traveled all the way to the ferry crossing.
Wang Wenxiu covered her mouth, her eyes red. "As long as we're alive, we'll definitely meet again. Siyu, remember, if you go to another place for trials in the future and see Xiaoluo and Ruixue, no matter how hard their lives are or how bad they may have been... you must help them and bring them back to their parents."
Wang Wutong suppressed his voice and said, "Our whole family owes them a lot."
"good!"
Wang Siyu is already ten years old. She seems to know the sorrow of separation. The family of three hugs together and looks at their relatives and friends in the distance through the clouds, hoping that they will have a smooth journey and be safe.
"Ancestor, please be my guest."
The stowaway boat was hidden above the clouds, becoming smaller and smaller until it could no longer be seen. They were finally on their way to a new life.
——
Qian Luo took a deep breath and had already practiced the initial stage of Qi training in "Orchid Mysterious Jade Kung Fu". Although it was not as good as the top-level skills, it was easy to understand and suitable for cultivators with multiple spiritual roots.
She had already learned the "Orchid Sword Rain" and "Orchid Light Body Technique", but she couldn't digest too much.
The Orchid Sword Rain is perfect for use with the Jade Orchid Sword. It is powerful and the swordsmanship is beautiful. When the orchid blooms, it is time to kill the enemy!
The orchid light body technique is like a flower, its whereabouts are erratic, just like a flower blown by the wind, moving quickly and confusingly.
One is essential for murder and robbery, and the other is for escape.
Qian Luo was very satisfied with what she had learned newly. She could only project her spiritual consciousness three hundred meters away. It was as if she was teleported to a small hill. No one came around, and it was as if she was isolated from the world.
"Let's go, little dog." The effect of the fasting pill has worn off. She has only been drinking water and eating fruits these days. She hasn't seen any rabbits or pheasants, and she is so hungry that she feels dizzy.
Sunflamemon immediately shouted, "What little puppy!"
Qianluo argued with him: "Ah, this is your new name."
"A majestic spirit beast's name should be more majestic and extraordinary! I don't want a beast's name!"
Qianluo agreed when she heard this. After all, it was a spirit beast, so it should be given a majestic name. "Then call you Emperor Yan?"
"Ah?" Sunflamemon was a little embarrassed. "That's too big a title. I'm still young and can't hold it in..."
"I don't ask for much, just a cute and majestic name..."
Qianluo was in a dilemma. This really stumped her. She was terrible at naming. "I'll look it up in the dictionary later... I'll look it up. Zhao Zhao, how about that?"
Her eyes lit up: "Zhao means brightness, Zhao Zhao, Chi Zhao!"
Sunflamemon's eyes lit up and he purred excitedly, "Not bad!"
Qianluo laughed and hugged Flame Beast: "Let's go, Zhao Zhao!"
The man and the beast went down the mountain leisurely.
Lanhua’s light body skills are really good. We set off at dusk and arrived at the residents’ home at the foot of the mountain just in time for dinner.
The residents here seemed to be living an ancient life. There were wooden houses everywhere, probably hundreds of them. At night, lights were on in every household, smoke curled up, and the aroma of food wafted into her nose, making her even hungrier.
She didn't have a spirit beast bag, so she could only let the Sun Flame Beast stay a hundred meters away and tell it not to move.
She narrowed her eyes, afraid of alerting other cultivators. Without using her spiritual sense, she walked to the door of a house occupied only by women and knocked politely. "Hello, I'm a cultivator passing by. Can I exchange my spirit beads for some food with you?"
There were banging sounds in the room, and finally a cautious and flattering girl appeared from behind the wooden door. Her skin was pale, and her face was thin, even thinner than Qianluo, who hadn't eaten for several days. She said in a weak voice, "Master Monk, please come in."
Qianluo knew that she was a mortal who had not practiced cultivation and was unfamiliar with the place, so she did not dare to stay any longer and took out 100 spirit beads: "Just prepare some more dry food for me."
She was dazzled by the flash of inspiration before her eyes: "This..."
Then, pursing his dry lips, he retreated to her with difficulty: "Master Monk, this is District 9, and we don't accept spirit beads."
"District 9?"
