Chapter 249 Sisters in One Quilt
After passing a bright light, what came into view was a layer of gray haze.
When Ji You walked in, he felt like he was walking through a tunnel, and the sound of his footsteps echoed extremely clearly.
After a while, as a breeze blew across his face, the fragrance of grass and trees began to gradually come with the wind. A flash of white appeared in front of Ji You's eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he had arrived in a vast open world.
The first thing that appeared in front of us was a vast grassland, extending forward in an arc.
The sky is clear and bright with a breeze, and it is all green.
Ji You stopped and looked around, and found that everyone who had stepped into this place earlier stopped involuntarily and began to breathe slowly. The breath flowing around their bodies became mysterious.
What's more, his whole body exudes the aura of being about to break through the realm.
These people are all contestants from the upper realm, and they are only one step away from the next realm. Now they are in a place where the spiritual energy is so rich that it is almost tangible. It is like being gently pushed by an invisible giant hand, and they are one step closer to a breakthrough.
It is indeed a great place, no wonder so many people are scrambling to get in.
Ji You also began to adjust his breathing at this time, breathing in and out slowly.
In an instant, the spiritual energy in the body rushed in like a raging tide, filling it up instantly.
Then, spiritual energy surged out from his shattered lotus-like spiritual essence like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, turning into a surging river, rushing and crashing through his limbs and bones, the surging force almost bursting out of his body.
At this moment, with a "bang" sound, a whistling breath was instantly raised.
When everyone came to their senses, they saw the twin brother and sister from the Chen family's immortal clan taking the first step. With a flash of light under their feet, they turned into a flash of light and flew away into the sky.
They came here to practice cultivation. When they felt the mystery of it for the first time, they naturally did not want to waste time on the periphery and were focused on the center of the holy land of the sages.
Ji You also stopped breathing at this time, and looked around after his breathing calmed down.
Every time he came to an unfamiliar environment, he was not in a hurry to reach his destination, but was used to checking the surrounding environment first.
As he watched, his brows furrowed slightly.
Zhuang Zixin, Zhu Yao, Li Yunlang and others had come in earlier than him and were standing on the top of a slope not far from him, looking at each other.
There was scrutiny in each other's eyes, and then they gathered together without any prior arrangement. After a few words, they walked together towards the southwest.
These three people are not from the same clan or the same family, and their Zhongzhou, Lingzhou and Yuzhou are also far apart from each other.
Ji You had never heard that they had any old acquaintance, nor had he seen them talking at the previous Tiandao Conference, so it was surprising that they suddenly came together at this time.
Moreover, they were clearly coming in for the first time, but they seemed to have some destination to go to.
"Ji You."
While he was thinking, a soft call in his ear suddenly attracted his attention.
Fang Ruoming, who was dressed similarly to him, came over in a white robe. "I heard that the closer you are to the center, the less barriers there are between heaven and man. Someone once crossed three realms here, and after leaving, he became a powerful person. You have a chance now, so you must seize it."
Ji You turned to look at him: "Where are you going, Brother Fang Ruo?"
"Practice is a solitary matter after all. I plan to find a more secluded place."
"I see."
Fang Ruoming chatted with him for a while, then bowed and said goodbye, walking away along the sea of grass.
The rest of the people also went away one after another, moving in the direction of the wind.
Seeing that the people who came in were getting more and more scattered, Ji You did not stop and went deeper. Soon he saw a wider sea of grass.
The terrain here goes down all the way, and in the front is a dense forest, which is dark and silent between the layers.
From Ji You's perspective, what could be distinguished more clearly were the three low mountains that were slightly protruding from the mountains.
According to previous map markings, the center of the holy land of the sages is located between these three low mountains.
Ji You exerted force lightly with his feet, and as his energy burst out, his spiritual energy also began to roar.
And when the heat in his body came out, he instantly turned into a ball of light, whizzing along the sea of grass, and in the blink of an eye he disappeared into the forest at the end of the sea of grass.
"Bang!"
After a muffled sound of air bursting, Ji You landed on a cliff, and the jade pendant on his waist began to flash continuously.
The connection between heaven and man here was indeed increasing infinitely. Even though he had not entered into a state of meditation and had not used his divine sense, he still felt as if there were Tao rules constantly roaring in his ears, causing his heart to tremble.
If he had not been unable to clear his conscience, he might have already crossed the threshold of the Rong Dao Realm.
Ji You muttered to himself, then looked towards the heart of the valley.
For thousands of years, geniuses have visited the holy land of sages every five years, so this place is not just a pure mountain area.
In his sight, Ji You saw a long road paved with stone slabs, with several slightly dusty stone lamps standing around it.
Not far from the stone lamp there are a few thatched huts, the patched wooden boards on them seem to indicate that they have been repaired many times.
These huts were probably built by people who had practiced cultivation here before, and were subsequently repaired by successive generations of cultivators.
There is also a wooden tea table in front of the house, and several tree stumps used as benches, which should have been made from local materials.
After standing and watching for a while, Ji You fell down from the cliff, found an open space, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes gently.
Chen Luo and Chen Xi also came to the north side between the three low mountains at this time. They were a little surprised when they saw Ji You.
Because they set out earlier than Ji You, they didn't expect to be one step slower than him in the end.
At this moment, the brother and sister suddenly realized that the spiritual energy here was constantly flowing, gradually converging towards Ji You, and finally condensed like a whirlpool, constantly sinking towards Ji You.
The improvement of a cultivator's realm is an upgrade in the connection between man and the Way of Heaven, and the process does not require too much spiritual energy.
The two were puzzled, but before they could think about it carefully, they felt a swaying heat rising from the valley. As the heat wave hit them, the hairs on the brother and sister's arms began to stand up.
At this moment, Ji You had already ignited the raging spiritual fire in his body, which was burning along the surging spiritual river in his body.
During the past few days of the Tiandao Conference, apart from duels and kisses, he has been training his body, and the soreness that represents approaching the critical stage has already begun to appear.
So he planned to make use of the refined and rich spiritual energy here to break through to the next level of the physical realm first.
"What a strange way of practicing..."
"It's strange that a rural private cultivator wants to get the top spot in the Tiandao Association. However, it is still a bit unorthodox after all."
The spiritual energy in the holy land of the sages is actually more refined than the spiritual energy in the spirit stones, and is already roughly as rich as the spirit core.
Air currents usually flow from dense areas to thin areas, so as the Gate of Mysterious Light opens, the spiritual energy within it is continuously overflowing into the mountains and forests outside.
Countless people who came to see him off couldn't help but close their eyes and breathe outside the door, hoping to take the opportunity to get some benefits.
However, as Ji You and others left the sea of grass at the entrance one after another, the Gate of Xuanguan began to close slowly, the flow of spiritual energy began to gradually thin, and was finally cut off.
Those who were in meditation on the spot couldn't help but open their eyes and stare at the gradually disappearing mysterious light, their eyes full of complicated expressions.
They can feel infinite benefits just by being outside the door, but they dare not even imagine what will happen after entering, especially after reaching the deepest point.
In this Tiandao showdown, although there are strong and weak opponents, they are all at the same level. From today on, the gap between people inside and outside the sect will become bigger and bigger.
Cao Jinsong couldn't help but feel a little nervous. The scene of the evil disciple appearing in Yingtian Realm had already emerged in his mind: "How long will it take for them to come out?"
"It depends on your understanding."
"Comprehension?"
Manager Qin nodded and said, "The laws of heaven permeate the holy land of the sages. If one's comprehension is not good enough, forcing enlightenment may backfire. Basically, when they encounter a bottleneck, they will understand that it is time to leave."
At this time, Yan Shuyi stood proudly on the imperial carriage, looking at the dissipating mysterious light, and his eyelashes, which were dyed golden by the morning light, trembled slightly.
Although she hoped that Ji You would not come out too quickly because of her fear, she found that she had begun to miss him since the moment Ji You's figure disappeared in the dark light.
Thinking about it carefully, the origin of this longing should be that I know it will take a long time for him to come out, and it is not like before, where they can either meet in the spirit mirror or communicate through letters, so my emotions began to fluctuate in advance.
Another person who had the same idea was Yuan Caiwei, the daughter of Danzong.
She spent very little time with Ji You, and they didn't even have the chance to kiss each other.
As if something had suddenly occurred to them, they both tilted their heads at the same time, trying to see how the other person would react since they were thinking about the same man as them, and their eyes met.
Now that they had looked at each other, they couldn't look away, so the two of them walked together.
"Sister Caiwei, are you going back to the mountain next?"
"Well, my brother is trying to master the holy weapon. This is related to the future of our Dan Sect. We can't slack off. As his elder sister, I have to go back to protect him. Where is Jianzhu?"
Yuan Caiwei was not mentally prepared to call her sister yet, but she did remove the word "sister".
Yan Shuyi glanced at the direction where Ji You left and said, "I can't stay away from Lingjian Mountain for a long time. Now that the Tiandao Conference is over, I have to return to the mountain immediately and continue my retreat and practice."
Yuan Caiwei nodded after hearing this: "It seems that we have to say goodbye here. It's a pity that we sisters haven't seen each other for a long time and can't spend a few more days together."
However, if we really become "sisters sharing a quilt" in the future, there will be many opportunities for us to get along well with each other.
Yuan Caiwei pondered in her heart, and suddenly found that Xiao Jianzhu narrowed his eyes and stared at her vigilantly, as if he had thought of this as well.
After saying goodbye to Yuan Caiwei, Yan Shu also sat back on the imperial carriage.
Yuan Caiwei also turned around and got on the carriage. Before leaving, she opened the curtain and waved gently to Yan Shuyi.
Afterwards, the red chariot moved with the spiritual energy and flew into the sky, while other immortal sects and families also headed towards their own temples. The flying sword chariots crossed the void, and underneath there was a wave of flying earth raised by the carriage.
After speeding all the way, Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu, who were serving them, suddenly saw a golden color slowly unfolding before their eyes in the distance.
As the breeze blew, the wheat waves rolled up layer by layer, and many people used their spiritual energy to control sickles and harvested the wheat ears.
The two men's eyes gradually became filled with surprise, and after a long pause they looked towards their own appraiser.
Cui Er looked at the unfamiliar environment below and felt a little lost: "Master Jian, we seem to have gone the wrong way..."
Yan Shuyi said calmly: "I don't know how long it will take for me to come down from the mountain this time. Ding Yao complained before that she was bored in the mountain, so I will take her for a walk before we go back..."
Ding Yao: “?”
Cui Er suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."
It is autumn in Lingjian Mountain now, and the mountain should be covered with red leaves, with beautiful scenery.
However, everyone has been seeing such scenery for more than ten years, and no matter how beautiful it is, it will become boring.
Master Jian would usually go into seclusion for half a year or even a year. Now that he had finally come down the mountain, it was reasonable for him to take a walk around. Cui'er expressed her understanding.
Only Ding Yao, who was named, thought that Master Jian was really stubborn. She clearly wanted to go back and hear people call her "Mrs. Ji" and "Young Madam" again, but she insisted that she felt the mountain was boring...
(←_←) Yan Shuyi noticed Ding Yao's gaze and thought she was teasing him. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes and reveal a majestic look.
The sedan chair sped all the way and soon landed at a county town.
After entering, you will reach the main road of the city. The first thing that catches your eye is a huge stone archway. Surrounding it are middle-aged women cooking in the open air. When they saw the carriage descending from the sky, they all looked over.
It is now the autumn harvest season. In previous years, even the elderly, the weak, women and children in the family would have to go to the fields, let alone them.
But with the participation of immortal cultivators, not too many people were needed for the harvest, so they took on the responsibility of cooking the big pot.
At this time, the gauze curtain on the sedan chair was lifted, and Yan Shu walked down from it, which attracted a lot of discussion.
"Look, the Ji family's wife is back again."
"The Ji family's wife... is so majestic."
"I said it last time, the Ji family's wife must be a lady from the Immortal Sect."
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu looked sideways at Yan Shuyi, who was pretending to be cold and arrogant but couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but stare at each other.
The Master of the Imperial Clan had never admitted that she liked Ji You. She felt that as the next generation leader of an immortal sect and the holder of a sacred weapon, falling in love would be a loss of dignity, so she called Ji You a strange man all day long. But she really liked being called the Ji family's wife...
Cui Er was walking behind them at this time: "?"
Yan Shuyi then came to the Ji family's old house, stopped at the door and looked at the three people: "Let's go somewhere else."
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu thought to themselves that Master Jian was too realistic. He didn't even go in when his son-in-law was not around. He came here just to hear a few words from "Mrs. Ji", right?
However, where to go and what to do is naturally decided by the young master.
So the imperial carriage quickly left Yuyang and headed towards Fengzhou Prefecture.
Yuyang County is Ji You’s hometown, and Fengzhou Prefecture is the real Ji family, so of course they must be taken care of. 】
Half an hour later, the sedan chair landed in front of Ji's gate. Yan Shu also lifted the gauze curtain in a majestic manner and then walked down from it.
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu were already familiar with the place, but Cui'er, looking at the words "Jizhai" on the plaque on the door, had a confused expression on her face.
The first thing I couldn't figure out was whether there was a typo on the door plaque.
Another thing that was confusing was that the appraiser originally said that she was just strolling around casually, but the entire trip made her feel as if she had a purpose.
And the village women who had called her "Mrs. Ji" or something like that seemed like they were calling her Master Jian, which made her feel even more confused.
However, just as Yan Shuyi stepped down from the sedan chair and was about to head towards Ji Village, a horse-drawn carriage came galloping and slowly stopped in front of the gate of Ji Village.
This carriage looks very familiar, as if I have just seen it.
Then the car curtain was gently lifted, revealing Yuan Caiwei's beautiful oval face.
She had heard that Yan Shuyi had been to the Ji family before. Although she didn't say it, she was actually full of envy in her heart.
The alchemist's practice of alchemy can, at most, bring the dead back to life, but he has no fighting power. The Alchemy Sect is located in the southeast of Liangzhou, a thousand miles away from Fengzhou, making travel difficult.
That's why Yuan Caiwei came here secretly and took advantage of the fact that she was close to Fengzhou to take a look.
At this moment, the two plastic sisters looked at each other, speechless, their eyes somewhat frozen.
[A-di is trying to master the spiritual weapon, I want to go back to the mountain to protect him]
[I cannot be away from Lingjian Mountain for a long time. I must go back to practice immediately]
[It seems we have to say goodbye here]
Yan Shu also set out from Fengzhou to return to the mountain in the afternoon, and Yuan Caiwei did the same. Before leaving, they took a long tour of Fengzhou and even had lunch in Jizhai before leaving.
On the way back with the imperial carriage, Cui'er was still in a daze and couldn't understand many things.
Master Jian probably has never been to Fengzhou, but she seems to be familiar with it. The people in Ji Village also seem to listen to her very much. They don't treat them as guests but rather as hosts.
What is even more strange is that Fengzhou seems to be in the autumn harvest, and some of the grain seems to be sent to the warehouse.
However, they seemed unsure about the specific proportion to be sent in, and then a group of local officials from Fengzhou came together and asked their appraiser for instructions.
The appraiser said she didn't understand either, but the local officials in Fengzhou insisted that she give a number, as if whatever she said was the final number.
So the appraiser really studied it carefully, and then made a decision for Fengzhou, which is far away from Lingzhou. He seemed very happy after making the decision.
As the next headmaster of Lingjian Mountain, any decision made by Master Jian will affect the entire Qingyun world.
Things like harvesting grain are actually mundane matters and are not worthy of the attention of the Master of Observation.
However, every time the master of the sect made decisions for Lingjian Mountain, he would feel a little resistant. But when he made decisions for Fengzhou, he felt a sense of accomplishment.
What also made her feel strange was the lunch before she left.
The Master of the Imperial Examination seemed to want to treat Miss Yuan from Danzong as a guest, calling her a distinguished guest who came from afar, but Miss Yuan did not seem to want to be a guest, but wanted to be a family member. When faced with the Master of the Imperial Examination addressing her as a "distinguished guest", she immediately picked up some food for her brother and told him to eat more...
Cui'er thought for a long time with a silly expression.
At the same time, Cao Jinsong and his party, together with Kuang Cheng and others, had also returned to Shengjing.
The carriage traveled for a day and a night and finally arrived in the early morning of the next day.
Cao Jinsong, who stepped into the gate of Tianshu Academy, had big breasts and looked down on everyone. When he met Instructors Ding and Ma on the way, he started pointing and talking.
In the past few years, Cao Jinsong was the least prestigious among many teachers because he was born in Fengzhou, and he was always the one who was pointed at.
And this time when he returned, he began to point fingers at everyone indiscriminately.
He even pointed at the two inner courtyard elders, but the two inner courtyard elders had complicated expressions and pretended not to see anything, and did not say anything.
"Damn Cao Jinsong, he's a little too cocky!"
"Don't blame him. If I could have a disciple like Ji You who could get the top spot in the Tiandao Association, I would also be so proud..."
"Hey, speaking of Ji You, I didn't hear any news about Chu He at this Tian Dao Conference? Logically speaking, he should have already reached the Tong Xuan upper realm. He must have been very unwilling to lose to Ji You, but he didn't participate in this Tian Dao Conference. Instructor Ding, do you know why?"
"I don't know either. Although he was once my student, I haven't heard from him since he left Tianshu Academy. Speaking of which, Youzhou has been quite strange recently."
"strangeness?"
"This year's Autumn Competition has ended, and I have already started preparing for this year's recruitment, but the few Youzhou students I favored all rejected me."
"Is it because the reputation of our Tianshu Academy is...too bad?"
"Ji You got the top spot, who dares to say that my Tianshuyuan is bad?"
"That guy is obviously an exception. Students like him may not meet one in hundreds of years. He cannot be used as a reference."
(The lucky draw is almost over, please give me a monthly ticket)
