A life of clearness

Chapter 36 Cangliuzhou

Rong Qing snorted with an ambiguous tone. Bai Shiguan and her current situation were both like the pot calling the kettle black, so no one should look down on the other.

"You are joking, Master." Rong Qing looked up, "Now that the cooperation has been agreed upon, I will not regret it easily. But..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that the gap between the two sides doesn't need me to explain it, the real person knows it best."

Rong Qing said calmly, "If we want to narrow the gap, there are only two points. Weaken the opponent and strengthen our own side. I have already told the real person that I have a restriction that can find the opponent's tribulation place. Combined with my self-defense sword intent, I may not be without the ability to fight."

"As for strengthening our own side." Rong Qing looked at Yun Tong, "I have a method to reach the foundation-building stage in a short period of time. I just need a place with abundant spiritual energy. I wonder if Master can help me with this?"

The spiritual energy of Jing State was cut off, and Rong Qing did not want to consume the extremely pure spiritual energy in her body from the unknown land. So, asking for help from allies was a good idea.

The Baishi Temple has its own spiritual energy source for cultivation. The place where they usually practice is definitely not in Jing Country. If Rong Qing wants to find it, she can leave Jing Country and explore everywhere. But she doesn't have enough spiritual energy left for her to squander. After flying out of Jing Country, facing the vast ocean, if the place with abundant spiritual energy is far away or in a hidden place, then Rong Qing will face a very bad situation.

Yun Tong did not comment on this and remained silent.

Rong Qing didn't know what he was worrying about, but she was very patient now.

The study was quite quiet for a while. The monk's breathing was almost nonexistent, and he was as still as a stone.

"There is indeed a place with abundant spiritual energy." Yun Tong said slowly.

Rong Qing leaned slightly closer and made a listening gesture.

Shan Xing, who was beside Yun Tong, heard what his master had said and realized the decision he had made. He felt a little nervous, but also a little relieved.
"That place is called Cangliuzhou."

"It is located in the sea south of Jing State. The size of this continent is far beyond the territory of Jing State. What's more strange is that it drifts on the sea. Without a token, it is impossible to enter."

"Oh? Has any outsider ever broken in?" Rong Qing was quite interested.

Generally speaking, if you say that it is impossible for outsiders to enter, you will be slapped in the face in the end.

Yun Tong squinted her eyes and said, "Never heard of it."

"If a powerful monk came in person, would he be able to discover it?"

"How big?" Yun Tong thought, is it that big?

"Above the Divine Transformation?"

"There is no god-transforming cultivator in Cangliuzhou. With the means of the god-transforming cultivators, the secrets of Cangliuzhou will surely be uncovered in no time." Yun Tong said, "But at least for now, the peculiarity of this continent is still an unsolved mystery."

"The spiritual energy in Cangliuzhou is absolutely abundant. If we were not limited by our natural talents, our cultivation would definitely not be limited to this level." Yun Tong smiled bitterly, "My three direct disciples are all from Cangliuzhou. They all have the talent of dual spiritual roots. With my humble ability, I can recruit disciples with dual spiritual roots. Fellow Daoist Yu can infer that there are many disciples with single spiritual roots in Cangliuzhou!"

Single spiritual roots are the best qualifications in the cultivation world. If it is not a large sect, it is impossible to accept such a disciple. It is simply a dream to want single spiritual root cultivators to reach the point where they can be found everywhere!
The faint disbelief on Rong Qing's face naturally did not escape Yun Tong's eyes.

But that was the fact. It was as if all the luck of Jing Country had been transferred to Cangliu Continent. One country was cut off from spiritual energy, while the other was full of talented cultivators. Even Yun Tong, who should have been used to it, was surprised by the difference.

"I believe what the Master said." Rong Qing asked, "Is it okay for the Master to bring outsiders into Cangliuzhou?"

"Logically, it's not possible." Yun Tong smiled, "But whether in the secular world or the cultivation world, all rules have loopholes that can be exploited."

"My Baishi Temple has a name and caves in Cangliuzhou. If you want to bring outsiders into the island, there is a way." Yuntong's eyes flashed, "It all depends on whether Daoist Yu is willing."

"I would like to hear the details." "As long as Daoyou Yu becomes a disciple of my Baishi Temple, even if it is just a nominal disciple, Daoyou Yu can be guaranteed to enter the continent without being expelled."

After hearing this, Rong Qing did not answer for a while.

Yun Tong said hurriedly, "It's just a nominal disciple. I'm sure that Daoist Yu's master won't mind this expedient measure."

In the cultivation world, it is not allowed to switch to another sect. But there are always exceptions. For example, a disciple's aptitude and strength are too good and he needs a better place to stay. At this time, becoming a registered disciple of a large sect is a good way. Although they are not formal disciples, they have a kind of incense relationship with each other.

"Master, what you said is correct." Rong Qing said slowly, "The sect has indeed never restricted me from becoming a nominal disciple and becoming a disciple of others."

She chuckled. This is interesting.

"Okay. I agree to this." Rong Qing looked at Yun Tong, "I wonder when we can go to Cangliuzhou."

Yun Tong breathed a sigh of relief: "Any time is fine. Cang Liuzhou only restricts the identity of the visitors, not the time."

Yun Tong said this unintentionally, but it sounded intentional to the listener.

After hearing this, Rong Qing said nothing else but just remembered it silently.

She had a hunch that these words were closely related to the secrets of Cangliuzhou.

"Wait for me for an hour, and then we'll set off."

"Okay." Yun Tong nodded calmly. In fact, he was extremely anxious.

An hour is not a long time. But he was always afraid of something unexpected. Taking Yu Rong to Cangliuzhou was really a risky move, but if he had not been forced to lose face by the group of ghost-faced monks, and even his protective treasure was coveted, he would not have taken such a risky move.

Fortune and wealth are sought in danger. He had understood this truth since he was a young Qi cultivator. After becoming a Jindan Zhenren and recruiting many disciples, he was not as decisive as he was at the beginning. Yun Tong laughed at himself in his heart. He raised his eyes and stared at Rong Qing, "Master and I will stay here and wait for Daoist Yu to come back and set off together."

"Thank you." Rong Qing didn't say any more nonsense. She bowed to Yun Tong and walked straight out of the study.

As soon as I walked out of the study, I saw Yun Nong standing under the archway.

The lush green trees on the archway cast a shadow. Yun Nong fell into the shadow, but her face was not obscured at all. Her soft lips were still bright, and her dark eyes were still as clear as water.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, she looked over alertly, so fast that it seemed as if she had never looked away.

Rong Qing met Yun Nong's eyes. She felt as if she was in another world. Inside the study, there were people representing the cultivation world. Outside the study, it was clearly the secular world she was already familiar with. Separated by a door, they were two distinct worlds.

"It's already been agreed." Rong Qing spoke first. "I'll go to Cangliuzhou with you guys in an hour."

Rong Qing didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but she saw Yun Nong's eyes suddenly widen.

This change in expression only lasted for a moment, and the precocious Yun Nong suppressed it. But how could this be hidden from Rong Qing who was always watching Yun Nong.

What went wrong? Rong Qing thought silently, time? Or place?
"Yes." Yun Nong smiled reluctantly, "Yun Nong knows that with your ability, you will certainly be recognized by the master."

Seeing Rong Qing's noncommittal expression and her nodding figure leaving, she bit her lip silently, and moved lightly with lotus steps. Her soft embroidered shoes landed on the stone slabs with almost no sound. Yun Nong stopped in front of the door and knocked gently, "Disciple Yun Nong, please see the master."

"Come in." Shan Xing's cold voice came from inside the door.
