Everyone else has work to do, so what is Liu Yunqing doing?
Of course, I'll go back to Luoxia City to cultivate in seclusion and form my core!
Back when he was at the Earth's core, Liu Yunqing had already reached the point where he had no choice but to advance, so now that he has emerged, he naturally finds it difficult to suppress his power.
Moreover, the task given to the two by the mother tree made Liu Yunqing even more eager to advance.
Liu Yunqing's urgency also made Feng Piaopiao anxious.
"Core Formation? You mean you're going back to form your Core?"
Seeing Liu Yunqing nod, Feng Piaopiao felt as if the sky had fallen. In disbelief, she buried her face in her hands and howled to the heavens:
"What should I do? What should I do? I've really advanced very quickly!"
"Ahhh!!"
Feng Piaopiao lowered her hand, then couldn't help but yell at Liu Yunqing twice before dejectedly saying:
"Alright, congratulations in advance to Zhenru Zhenren for becoming the youngest Golden Core cultivator in the Sun Realm."
"Congratulations to me, Feng Piaopiao, for becoming the lagging cultivator in the Zhenru team."
It's no wonder Feng Piaopiao felt frustrated, as the two of them advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage around the same time.
Now, only a few years have passed, and while most elite cultivators are still hovering around the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, Liu Yunqing is already about to advance to the Golden Core stage.
It's one thing for her to advance to the Golden Core stage, but the problem is that she was only a few years older than Feng Piaopiao when she advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Feng Piaopiao's cultivation speed is already among the top of the younger generation in the Sun Realm.
If things continue like this, the gap between Liu Yunqing and everyone else will widen further, making it inappropriate for them to train together in the future.
Feng Piaopiao broke down, and Liu Yunqing didn't know how to comfort her. She racked her brains but could only stammer:
"Well, you don't need to feel so frustrated. My advancement isn't the fastest either. Look at Master Wuchen, he'll directly reach the Nascent Soul stage next time!"
Upon hearing this, the scene inside the flying boat fell silent, while Feng Piaopiao's mournful howls grew even louder.
The other two also looked disappointed.
Despite their disappointment, they were all carefully nurtured disciples of the sect, and they understood the principle that there was no order of precedence on the path of cultivation.
"Cultivation is not about speed; as long as one can attain the Great Dao, what does it matter if it takes a little longer?"
Feng Piaopiao knew, of course, that he wasn't late; it was just that Liu Yunqing was too fast.
A Golden Core cultivator in his early twenties—well, although Liu Yunzhao also advanced to the Golden Core stage in his twenties, it's different.
So after this part, everyone else was fine, but Feng Piaopiao was still a bit sullen.
It wasn't that Liu Yunqing was unhappy about advancing, but rather that she was annoyed for the first time that her advancement was too slow.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Ruan Qing, who was standing to the side, nudged Feng Piaopiao with her shoulder and said:
"Well, don't be sad. You're very fast. There's also me. My cultivation level is even lower than yours."
Feng Piaopiao glanced at Ruan Qing and pouted, saying:
"Then you're younger than me."
Seeing that her attempts to comfort her were ineffective, Ruan Qing rolled her eyes, fiddled with her fingers, and feigned disappointment, saying:
"But I'm less than a year younger than Zhenru. She's about to reach the Golden Core stage, while I've just broken through to the early Foundation Establishment stage!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Piaopiao turned around and looked Ruan Qing up and down. Then, the disappointment on her face slowly faded, replaced by a wild laugh.
"Hahahaha! Yes! Yours is more intuitive than Zhenru's! Hahahaha!"
"The wind—blown—blown!!!"
Ruan Qing's comforting, angelic face gradually darkened with anger. She gritted her teeth, roared out Feng Piaopiao's name, and then kicked after him.
The flying boat landed outside a city amidst the two's playful banter.
"This city is called Bishui City, and it is famous for its green waters flowing into the city."
As Wuchen was speaking, the group had already reached the city gate. Looking up, they saw the words "Bishui" on the gate tower and the long queue of people waiting to enter the city below.
"So many people? Besides the clear waters of the city, this Azure Water City must have something extraordinary about it, right?"
Looking at the endless line of people heading into the city, Feng Piaopiao asked a question out of curiosity.
Of the five, Wuchen was the most knowledgeable. They all wanted to know the answer to Feng Piaopiao's question, so they all turned to look at Wuchen.
Wu Chen smiled, his eyes crinkling, and unusually kept everyone in suspense, saying:
"We've arrived at the door. What's so special about it? We'll find out once we go inside."
Given that Biyue City is always bustling with people, the queue was long, but the city gate guards were quick, and it was less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before they reached Liu Yunqing and his group.
Liu Yunqing took out ten spirit stones, handed them to the city gate guard, and pointed behind him, saying:
"Five people?"
The city gate guards looked up in surprise, their gaze sweeping over Liu Yunqing and his group of five. Then, realizing what they had done, they nodded and made way for them to enter.
Feng Piaopiao, not understanding the meaning, ran up to Liu Yunqing with small steps as soon as she entered the city gate and asked in a low voice:
"What did he mean by giving us that look?"
Ruan Qing, who was walking beside him, leaned over and said before Liu Yunqing could speak:
"How stupid! Didn't you see that most of those people entering the city were either old, weak, sick, or seriously injured with disordered breathing?"
Feng Piaopiao glanced around and found that, apart from a few people with clear and curious eyes like them, most of the others were filled with eagerness and hope.
Like a person on the verge of death, chasing after the only glimmer of hope.
Feng Piaopiao suddenly realized, and when she took another sniff, she indeed smelled a faint fragrance of medicinal herbs in the air.
"So the wonders of this Azure Water City are actually related to healing and curing diseases! It seems my opportunity has arrived!"
The Shangqing Sect mainly focuses on alchemy and medicine making, so it's normal for Feng Piaopiao to be interested.
But Ruan Qing hadn't forgotten the grudge from before, and said lightly from the side:
"What a pity. What good is a keen sense of smell if you don't have the spiritual roots of wood and fire? You can't refine pills."
Feng Piaopiao, indignant, immediately retorted:
"Who says you can't refine pills if you don't have wood or fire spiritual roots? I can! I can refine pills!"
It's just that you can't use your own alchemical fire to refine pills, it's not that you can't use earth fire, so why can't you refine pills?
"Hey you guys over there! No noise allowed in the city!"
Just as Feng Piaopiao was getting excited, a patrolman in full armor approached them from a short distance away.
"No noise or fighting is allowed in Biyue City. Please disperse."
The patrol team leader, a middle-aged man with an upright and serious expression, strode up to the group and spoke to them again.
"Sorry, we'll be leaving now."
Feng Piaopiao was about to say something when Liu Yunqing stopped her. After bowing to the other party in apology, she prepared to leave with her people.
Although it was a bit strange to label someone as making a fuss over just a few words, Liu Yunqing felt it was better to follow other people's rules in other people's places.
Perhaps it was because of her good attitude, and the fact that the group was well-dressed, that the squad leader's expression also improved. Just as Liu Yunqing turned around, she heard a voice whisper in her ear:
"Find a guesthouse to stay in as soon as possible, and don't believe in the good luck tea here."
Liu Yunqing was taken aback, then realized that the person who had sent the message was the squad leader from earlier. She wanted to turn around and ask him a few more questions, but then she remembered something and resisted the urge to turn around.
Since you've chosen to transmit your voice, it means there are some things you can't say directly, so why go back and cause unnecessary trouble for others?
But what kind of tea is Good Luck Tea?
