Chapter 33 033 It’s not a coaxing tone, but it’s sweeter than any words…
The benefactor's voice was like a miracle drug that instantly calmed Lu Qingqing's panicked heart.
The hand holding her right wrist was cool and dry, like a life-saving straw.
Lu Qingqing somehow managed to find strength to resist the weightlessness. She stretched out her left hand and tightly grasped the other person's arm.
Even in this transmission channel that is comparable to a black hole in the universe, the man in black remained calm and maintained a calm posture, as if he was not affected by weightlessness at all.
Even though Lu Qingqing grabbed him without any dignity, his eyes remained calm as usual, his posture was graceful and composed, and he walked steadily forward in the passage with Lu Qingqing.
"We'll be there soon."
The voice of the man in black was a little vague in the empty space, but it was clear in Lu Qingqing's ears.
It's not a coaxing tone, but it sounds more pleasant than any sweet words.
She couldn't speak, so she just nodded.
The eyes filled with tears shone a glint of light in the darkness.
Perhaps it was because holding her benefactor's arm gave her a great sense of security, Lu Qingqing's body no longer felt so uncomfortable, and the symptoms of dizziness and chest tightness were greatly relieved.
Lu Qingqing adjusted her breathing quietly and calmed down.
She relaxed her body and did not resist the power of the transmission channel. Gradually, she was able to maintain a relatively stable posture like her benefactor.
The man in black tilted his head slightly and looked at the quiet Lu Qingqing.
In the darkness, she pursed her lips tightly, her expression of fear gone, leaving only resilience and stubbornness. Even the hands that gripped him remained strong, making his arm feel slightly warm through his clothes.
…
The endless darkness will eventually end.
The force stirring the body suddenly disappeared, and the state of weightlessness came unexpectedly.
Lu Qingqing subconsciously clung to her benefactor and quickly fell down with him.
But soon she felt a stream of air holding her up, her descent slowed down, and she finally landed steadily.
The golden light was so bright that Lu Qingqing couldn't open her eyes.
Gradually, the light became fainter and finally disappeared.
Just when Lu Qingqing was still a little confused, a cold voice rang in her ears, "We're here."
Lu Qingqing opened her eyes, and the next moment, her brain buzzed and went completely offline.
He was actually standing in his benefactor's arms, his hands tightly holding his benefactor's arm!
If you raise your head, you will immediately bump into the other person's chin.
As the breeze blew, the faint medicinal fragrance on the black clothes slowly drifted in the air, blending with the mature man's body temperature and floating in the air, sometimes strong and sometimes light.
Lu Qingqing forced herself to suppress the heat that was about to burn her cheeks, moved away as if nothing had happened, and saluted with her fists.
"I am deeply grateful to you for your kindness and support during this journey. I will never forget your great generosity."
The man in black looked at her and was silent for a while: "Take care."
After saying that, he took out a palm-length jade sword from his arms and threw it into the air.
The jade sword suddenly grew longer and wider, and the emerald green sword body shone brightly under the sun.
The man in black stepped forward, mounted the jade sword, and stood with his slender figure facing the wind, looking extraordinarily handsome.
"Walk."
He whispered softly, and the jade sword flew into the clouds. In an instant, it turned into a black dot and disappeared into the vast sky.
Lu Qingqing withdrew her gaze.
Then, an inexplicable emotion emerged in my heart that I couldn't control.
There are many people in this world who have a casual acquaintance but have a deep friendship, but it is rare to find people who have saved each other's lives several times without having much communication. Benefactors always come and go in a hurry, without taking away a cloud.
I don’t know when I will see him next time.
Or, I will never see him again in this life.
It doesn't matter, fate brings people together and separates people. Just remember this benefactor.
After smoothing out all her chaotic emotions, Lu Qingqing turned back into a solitary but calm and relieved female cultivator.
My attention was completely focused on my benefactor just now, and I didn't notice that Tai Chi Continent is such a mysterious, beautiful and majestic place.
A faint spiritual energy shrouds the sky and earth. In the distance, the mountains are majestic and steep, revealing their wonders of nature in the mist, full of spiritual charm and the power of time.
Even the transmission array under his feet was extremely ancient, and every talisman on it faintly flashed with ancient light.
The trees outside the formation are dense and tall, and every leaf is shrouded in spiritual energy, shining brightly.
After looking around for a moment, I suddenly saw a golden light flash across the sky, and a beam of light fell straight down.
Lu Qingqing instinctively dodged backwards.
A moment later, a man and a woman appeared in the beam of light.
It was the couple of monks from before.
The tall male cultivator, whose muscles were about to explode, hugged the woman with the Golden Core cultivation level tightly, fearing that she would get into trouble.
...They were actually left behind. Could it be that the transmission time was related to cultivation level?
My benefactor was so steady in the transmission channel, he must be about to advance to the Divine Transformation stage, right? Lu Qingqing couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.
"Xiao E, are you okay?" The male cultivator stood firmly and gathered the scattered hair on the female cultivator's forehead behind her ears.
"No problem." The female cultivator snuggled in the man's arms, her face pale. She smiled bitterly and said, "It's not the first time I've sat on it, but it's still uncomfortable. It seems I need to intensify my cultivation to advance."
"Don't be impatient. Let's go to Liangyi City to rest for a few nights and find out about the recruitment of talents by the major sects before making any plans."
Lu Qingqing's eyes lit up.
There are benefits to loving gossip, at least you can get some information.
She also wanted to see the excitement.
The tall male cultivator naturally saw Lu Qingqing.
The beautiful girl looked around the transmission array with a confused look on her face, which made people feel pity for her inexplicably. In addition, her sparkling starry eyes that were faintly visible under the white veil made her even more attractive.
But with his female companion beside him, he couldn't come over to chat with her. He could only look at Lu Qingqing when the female cultivator wasn't paying attention.
The tall male cultivator clearly looked extremely caring towards his female companion, but he couldn't help but covet other women.
This is what it means to eat from your bowl and look at the pot.
Lu Qingqing was depressed. The young man who bravely stood up for justice at Jubao Tower in Jing County that day really wronged her.
...Hmm? Why did I suddenly think of that plain-looking young man?
As kindhearted individuals, the young master and his benefactor had somewhat similar personalities. Both were cold and erratic, as unpredictable as the wind.
Lu Qingqing shook her head, pulling back her thoughts that were drifting further and further away, summoned the Ice Star Sword, and flew away on the wind.
…
Liangyi City has a flat terrain and is surrounded by four ancient famous mountains that tower into the clouds.
Legend has it that the four mountains of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise cleverly formed a defensive barrier to protect the safety of Liangyi City for generations.
The city has magnificent buildings, wide streets, numerous shops, and a constant stream of monks coming and going.
Spiritual beasts, exotic pets, fairy maids, and slaves of foreign races can be seen everywhere.
Lu Qingqing walked on the bluestone-paved street, and couldn't help feeling a sense of heroism in her heart.
She is an ordinary person, but now she can come to the Taiji Continent with the most abundant spiritual energy, appreciate the famous mountains and rivers created by the ancient gods, experience the customs that are different from the Dawn Continent, and live in the same city with many powerful people.
How lucky and happy.
——Of course, although the Taiji Continent is rich in spiritual energy and full of cultivators, it is not full of powerful people.
There are many foundation-building cultivators on the street, and some have even just entered the Qi Refining stage.
This is understandable. These people are all native Taiji Continent residents, born in Rome. Unlike the cultivators from the Dawn Continent, they do not need to come here and practice hard to reach the Golden Core stage.
Lu Qingqing bought some spiritual fruit from a street stall and ate it while strolling around.
The so-called spiritual fruit is made by applying spiritual power when planting trees. It is more delicious and sweeter than ordinary fruits and is also beneficial to the body.
The spiritual fruits on the stall include bananas, oranges, pears and strawberries.
Lu Qingqing bought a little of each kind, just to try them out.
There were no ordinary people in Liangyi City, and monks of extraordinary appearances abounded. Yet, the young woman in a water-colored long skirt and a conical hat still caught everyone's attention. Her slender figure, her dress wafting a refreshing fragrance, made her look like a fairy descended from the earth, her every step a lotus flower, beckoning everyone to linger.
This place was full of cultivators, so naturally there was no strict separation between men and women. Several male cultivators immediately came forward to greet Lu Qingqing and invited her to drink wine and tea. Some of the bolder ones fell in love with her at first sight and wanted to become her Taoist partner right away.
Among these people, some had higher cultivation than her, some were about the same as her, some had ordinary looks, and some were quite handsome, but they were all rejected by Lu Qingqing one by one.
What a joke! She only wants to find a Taoist partner because she thinks her life is too long.
There is no need to worry about offending people here, because Liangyi City has rules that do not allow anyone to fight or engage in combat here. Violators will be expelled at the very least, and severely punished by the Heavenly Dao at the worst.
But because of this, Lu Qingqing also believed Jiang Qingbo's words without a doubt.
She was just a Jindan cultivator, but she was approached on the street. There were so many powerful medicine cultivators in the Yunmiao Sect, so it was normal for people looking for love to come to her door.
After eating the last spiritual strawberry, Lu Qingqing walked into the largest inn in Liangyi City.
But the kind-looking shopkeeper told her with an apologetic look that the restaurant was fully booked today.
Lu Qingqing then remembered what the male cultivator had said when transmitting the formation: In the near future, all the major sects will be recruiting talents in Liangyi City.
No wonder the city is so crowded today, with people of all kinds of cultivation gathered together.
We have to find an inn to stay in quickly.
Fortunately, Liangyi City was bustling with inns of all sizes. Lu Qingqing finally found an inn with vacancies, called Fusheng.
Life is like a dream, how much joy can one find? (1) Even if one becomes a monk, one is still a human being, and as a human being one cannot escape the sorrows of life.
This Fu Sheng Inn is not large in scale, but it is elegantly designed and decorated. There is no distinction between top-grade and ground-grade rooms, all of which are of the same standard.
Lu Qingqing lived in the innermost room on the third floor. Standing by the window, she could see the entire street view of Liangyi City.
It was almost dusk, and the lights came on one after another, stretching endlessly, as if they were rising to the endless sky.
The streets are bustling with people, and the aroma and the sound of clinking glasses waft from restaurants and hotels, adding a touch of worldly atmosphere.
There is something interesting in observing the world.
But the next moment, the corners of Lu Qingqing's mouth suddenly flattened, and her brows immediately frowned.
