I imitate others' cultivation, and I will never reason with you.

Chapter 148 You got a string of garbled code

Ruan Xing decided to wait and see the situation first.

Old Man Wen said with some melancholy, "Even if I get out, the sect will still find trouble with me, especially Fu Yuanzhen. We can't hand over the culprit who harmed his disciples, so he can only vent his anger on me. I guess it was his suggestion to let me enter the Land of Absolute Spirits this time. I just hope that he will calm down from now on and stop blaming me."

It’s too late!
I guess your brother is pretty strong now!
Ruan Xing silently swallowed back the words he was about to say, for fear that after hearing the old man's words, his already lost desire to survive would be further shaken.

Ruan Xing pulled him along and hurried on. When it got dark halfway, they found a house nearby and rested for the night. They continued the next day. Although the old man was surprised, he had already put life and death aside. The man in front of him had no intention of harming him. Besides, he didn't know how this man entered the Land of Absolute Spirits... It would be better to follow him to find out the situation.

Since he said he came to save me, it's impossible for him to enter before me, right? But outside the gap, three Yuanying stage monks jointly set up a barrier to guard it, so how did he get in?

When the two of them arrived at their destination, Old Man Wen could not hide his shock and said, "This is..."

This time was faster than the last time. It took only a little over a day to reach the center of the Land of Absolute Spirits.

Old Man Wen squatted down and stroked the array plate on the ground, muttering, "It turns out that the place of absolute spirits that Master mentioned is the same place I came from."

"What's wrong?" Ruan Xing asked.

"Nothing." Old Man Wen shook his head and stood up. "I saw something made of extraordinary material at Master's place before. Now I know that it is made of the same material as this formation plate."

Ruan Xing had already figured out how to use the key, and now he no longer had the key. He just watched Old Man Wen recall his master through the past, and then he said, "Let's go to the center and take a look."

For some reason, Ruan Xing always felt that this place was a little different from the last time she came here.

When I arrived in front of the light column in the center, I was shocked to find that the silver-white thread in the light column was broken!

No wonder the light beam became much weaker.

Could it be that other monks have been here in the past few days?

But the last time she simulated it, it took her three days to reach the light column. There is nothing abnormal here! ?
Ruan Xing thought of the missing key and the magical powers that suddenly appeared on his mind.

...Could it be that she really broke it during the last simulation?
But she no longer remembered what happened while she was comatose, and she didn't understand why the things in the simulation were reflected in reality.

After thinking for a while, she asked, "Did your master tell me how to leave the Land of Absolute Spirits?"

Old Man Wen thought about it and shook his head, "No, he only told me how to survive in the Land of No Souls. I just need to forget..."

"Stop, I get it." Ruan Xing interrupted him, and Old Man Wen stopped talking helplessly.

It seems that Immortal Lord Guangyou believes that one cannot leave until he reaches the state of spiritual transformation, so there is no need to tell these things to his young disciple in the Jindan stage.

Ruan Xing looked at the broken silver-white thread in the light column, opened the box and let the sword out.

The old man's look was a little surprised. Ruan Xing did not explain anything, but ordered the sword to come in the mind connection.

Jian Lai nodded slightly, grabbed Old Man Wen's hand, and entered the light column together.

"Hey wait——" The tail end of the old man's words was swallowed up by the beam of light.

Ruan Xing waited for a moment before he began to call for the sword in his mind connection.

After calling for a long time, there was no response from the sword.

She didn't dare to enter the light column by herself...for fear that once she entered, her 30,000 points would be gone.

With a helpless sigh, Ruan Xing ended the real-life simulation.

After standing at the door of Wanbao Tower and pondering for a few seconds, Ruan Xing opened the text simulation reluctantly.

[Simulating]

At the age of seven, you took advantage of the chaos to enter the time and space gap, found Elder Wen and took him to the center of the Land of Absolute Spirits.

Together, you entered the pillar of light at the center, and immediately, you fell into a deep sleep.

At eight years old, you fell into a deep sleep.

[End of simulation]

Ruan Xing stared at the words in amazement.

The text simulation that costs a thousand points ends just like that?
With such a short experience, it seems that no matter what I choose, it will not work.

Ruan Xing frowned and chose a random skill.

[You have obtained %……￥&*&（#！】

A piece of garbled code...

But Ruan Xing didn't feel any difference in his body.

There is still no change in the character panel.

It seems that these one thousand points will be wasted.

"Old Man Wen, I'm sorry, I've tried my best." Ruan Xing whispered regretfully.

She has lived up to her state of mind.

Ruan Xing walked out of the town step by step, stepped on the flying sword and rushed towards the gap in time and space.

After Taoist Qing Yuan and his companions left, she grabbed the body of the leader of Nanzhou with one hand, and asked Jian Lai to take the little boy No. 1 to self-destruct.

After a loud bang, Ruan Xing flew into the pit with a triangular flag. Without waiting for Xu Shengping to speak, he waved the flag and took away his Nascent Soul.

The Yuanying figure screamed and struggled in pain in the flag. Ruan Xing took a look and ignored it, rolling up the flag and putting it back into the storage bag.

As for Xu Shengping's body... I don't know if it can still be used, so let's just put it away for now.

After taking Xu Shengping's storage bag from the ground, Ruan Xing asked Jian Lai to carry the body of the leader of Nanzhou to a place near a forest where mortals gathered, dug a hole nearly ten meters deep for him, and buried him in it.

"This way, at least your resting place will not be disturbed by wild beasts." Ruan Xing said softly.

Then she turned and left.

……

One month later, Jinling City.

The young woman who had transformed into Ruan Xing was drinking tea at a teahouse selling spiritual tea.

With Xu Shengping's financial support, she now dares to order some spiritual tea and food.

Although the spiritual energy contained in this spiritual tea is insignificant for her who is in the Jindan stage, it has the effect of calming the mind and making her feel peaceful.

She was so busy in the past period of time that she was almost dizzy. She was in simulation every moment, which made her brain almost have sequelae and she could not tell the difference between time, space and reality.

Now that everything has come to an end, she temporarily stopped the simulation, gave herself a vacation, and had a good rest for a few days.

But she was not completely idle. In this month, in addition to refining Xu Shengping's corpse and Nascent Soul into Little Boy No. 3, she also practiced magical skills more easily. Jinling City was still under the jurisdiction of Jinxia Sect, so she did not leave, but rented a quiet room and stayed here.

The Jinxia Sect and the Hanhai Sect had already jointly investigated the huge pit caused by the explosion. However, since Ruan Xing had concealed her cultivation to the late stage of foundation building, she was unremarkable in the entire Jinling City, so she was not disturbed. Everything in front of her was still peaceful.

Later, Ruan Xing heard that the Xuanbing Sect acknowledged the incident and gave some compensation to the two sects to fill the hole, and the matter was over.

They seemed to believe that the pit was caused by the Nanzhou leader’s self-detonation of his Nascent Soul during his last moments of life, which blew Hall Master Xu, who was in charge of cleaning up the mess, into ashes.

The only ones who complain are the mortals whose loved ones strayed into the gaps, and the farmlands that were about to be harvested but were destroyed.

Ruan Xing was sipping the spiritual tea for meditation when he suddenly noticed a few monks discussing something nearby.

"Have you heard about the secret realm that Xuanbing Sect stole from us before?"

"It is said that they have announced that they have discovered the basic situation. It is a secret place left behind by a Guixu Immortal Lord after his death."

"Why are they promoting this? Are they deliberately trying to piss us off?"

"To recruit new disciples. I heard that they had a series of accidents in the secret realm of Nanzhou and lost more than a hundred seedlings. If this group of disciples can pass through the secret realm and return safely, I'm afraid that in a few years, there will be dozens of Jindan elite disciples. Now, I'm afraid that Xuanbing Sect will be interrupted for at least ten years!"

"Well, they have a big family and a lot of money, so a few dozen golden cores are nothing. They are just ordinary people in the sect, and their treatment is not as good as our Jinxia Sect."

Several people laughed for a while. It seemed that because Jinling City was under the jurisdiction of their sect, they were not afraid of being heard by others and laughed boldly.

Ruan Xing silently took a sip of tea and listened with his ears pricked up.

"If you ask me, the matter of recruiting new disciples is still uncertain! Xuanbing Sect is the only one in Zhongzhou. Other sects in Zhongzhou have to rely on them. Even the Heavenly Dao can't stand it anymore and wants to punish them and destroy Xianyuan City."

"Are you talking about the two islands that suddenly appeared above Xianyuan City?"

"Yes, I heard about it too. A month ago, two islands covered by fog suddenly appeared in the sky above Xianyuan City and were falling slowly. According to the prediction at this speed, it will only take two hundred years for these two islands to fall to the ground and destroy Xianyuan City!"

Hearing this, Ruan Xing suddenly clenched the teacup in his hand.

The island appeared... and fell... This happened much earlier than expected. In one of her simulations, the island had not completely fallen until nearly three hundred years later.

It appeared so long in advance, is it the butterfly effect she has created during this period?

The only abnormality during this period was that she somehow broke the silver-white thread in the light column of the Land of Absolute Spirits.

Before, no one else could see the two islands except her. After the silk thread broke, everyone could see them, and they were still falling.

Ruan Xing drank a sip of tea to calm herself down. She must keep this matter a secret and not let anyone know.

Otherwise, the blame for the destruction of Xianyuan City will be put on her!
She can't resist the anger of so many True Lords and Taoist Lords of Xuanbing Sect now.

A few people were still talking about it. They felt that with the two islands, even if some people dared to join the Xuanbing Sect, the number would be much smaller. After all, who would want their sect to be destroyed within two hundred years?

Ruan Xing patiently listened for a while, but he didn't hear anyone say whether any big shots had flown into the sky to explore the interior of the island.

I think even if this matter is investigated, it will be an internal secret of the Xuanbing Sect and will not be brought up for idle chat.

She drank the last sip of the spiritual tea in the cup, took two low-grade spiritual stones to pay the bill, then got up and left.

It's time to leave Jinling City.

After checking out of the quiet room and getting her deposit back, Ruan Xing counted the spirit stones she had. She had spent a lot in Jinling City this month, but it seemed that because the security was not bad, she, a weak female cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, did not encounter any bullying.

This made her feel a little regretful. If a few bully monks appeared, she could rob them again.

She had 51900 points remaining and more than spirit stones. She exchanged all her high- and medium-grade spirit stones for low-grade spirit stones for her preservation.

This was almost the richest time for her since she started practicing Taoism, Ruan Xing thought with some happiness.

As she was counting the items in her storage bag, she noticed some movement inside.

Ok?
She had taken out Xu Shengping's Nascent Soul and made it into a puppet using the soul-summoning method. He had lost his mind now and would only obey Ruan Xing's orders. The other puppets were very well behaved, so who was moving?

Ruan Xing probed in with his spiritual sense and saw a little girl turning over inside, holding a large piece of soul-nourishing wood.

By the way...she had originally placed two pieces of soul-nourishing wood in a storage bag and asked Cai Jiao to stay beside it to nourish her soul.

Speaking of Cai Jiao, Ruan Xing thought of Master Cai. He didn't know whether Master Cai had established his foundation or not, but whether he had access to any core information in Liuyang Study.

However, it has only been a few months, so I guess Master Cai won't be able to do it that fast.

Cai Jiao was released. The little girl was holding a large piece of wood and blinking innocently.

A new voice appeared in Ruan Xing's mind connection.

The childish voice seemed to be not yet accustomed to the new way of speaking.

"elder sister……"

"No, you are four years older than me, you can't call me sister," Ruan Xing corrected.

But Cai Jiao ignored him, pursed her lips slightly and looked a little pitiful, "...Sister..."

Sure enough, although Cai Jiao had regained consciousness, she was not yet a normal person. Just like Jian Lai at the beginning, communication was difficult.

Ruan Xing sighed and gave up correcting her. Forget it, considering her age in her previous life, it was okay for Cai Jiao to call her aunt.

Moreover, Cai Jiao was only six or seven years old when she died. She was so small that she looked so innocent when she was holding the soul-nourishing wood with great effort.

"Ah Jiao." Ruan Xing called her.

Cai Jiao said blankly, "Nannan..."

Ruan Xing was a little surprised. She still remembered her name was Nannan? It seemed that her memory was still good.

Maybe if he takes some time to recuperate, his mind will catch up with Jian's.

Patting Cai Jiao on the head, Ruan Xing said, "Be good, sleep well in there, don't move around."

Seeing Cai Jiao nodded in obedience, Ruan Xing put Cai Jiao back into the storage bag.

Although it has consciousness, it is still a dead object.

Ruan Xing then checked the other puppets in the storage bag. Fu Qinghong, Little Boy No. 2, and Fatty No. 2 were all placed far away from the Soul Nurturing Tree, and there were no signs of them moving around.

After such a long time, and with the Demon Lord's initial advice, Ruan Xing no longer thought about restoring their sanity. Anyway, she now had several storage bags, so she separated the other puppets and put them into another storage bag.

Moreover, if Fu Qinghong regained consciousness, she really didn't know how to face him. What if he insisted on going back to Xuanbing Sect to find Taoist Qingyuan? She couldn't kill him again.

After counting several storage bags, Ruan Xing couldn't help but wonder, should she see which town nearby has a Wanbaolou auction and spend 20,000 spirit stones to buy a storage ring?

Then she quickly shook her head to get the thought out of her mind.

No, no, I just started to save some money and I'm already falling into depravity. I can't do this!
