Chapter 92: Was His Reaction This Fast Before?
“Senior Sister, have you noticed the disciples of the Longevity Sect?”
Shui Ping suddenly asked her mysteriously.
Su Huanli looked up, “No, why?”
She didn’t pay much attention to disciples in the Early Qi Condensation Stage.
Song Jiulai was the Sect Master, but she was now in the Mid Qi Condensation Stage.
Could this be the extraordinary nature of the Daughter of Destiny?
In a place with such scarce spiritual energy, her improvement speed was faster than others.
Shui Ping’s expression held a hint of contemplation, “I went down the mountain this morning and saw a few disciples returning from the Longevity Sect. They are all in the Mid Qi Condensation Stage.”
Because they were close, Shui Ping could clearly sense their cultivation auras.
It’s worth noting that in the Flying Sparrow Sect, there were only a few dozen disciples in the Mid Qi Condensation Stage.
These dozens were accumulated over decades.
Whereas the disciples of the Longevity Sect appeared in a cluster recently.
Shui Ping just hadn’t paid much attention to them.
Su Huanli shook her head, “What’s so special about that? Their Sect Master even goes to First Mountain. These disciples are brave, so it’s not strange for their realms to increase. Mid Qi Condensation Stage is nothing; it’s only when they reach the Foundation Establishment Stage that it’ll be surprising.”
Shui Ping, “Is that so?”
Hearing Su Huanli say this, Shui Ping wasn’t sure if she was overthinking it.
She just felt something was strange, a peculiarity she couldn’t quite pinpoint.
Then she sat down and changed the subject, “However, the spirit wine they make is quite good.”
“Spirit wine? You mean the kind of wine with blood-replenishing effects?” Su Huanli hadn’t tried it but had heard of it, “It does have some ingenuity.”
“It has ingenuity, but it’s somewhat superfluous,” Shui Ping wrinkled her nose. “The taste is still very good, but it’s sold too expensively, and the effect is far inferior to pills.”
“Scarcity breeds value,” Su Huanli gave her a playful glare. “You just think it’s expensive, don’t you?”
That wine must be delicious.
When she ate the meals made by Song Jiulai before, she felt they were tastier than ordinary mortal food.
She was about to practice grain avoidance, yet she unexpectedly had a craving for food.
Shui Ping stuck out her tongue. “A bottle sells for five low-grade spirit stones. How much wealth do I have?”
Even for Shui Ping, in the Late Qi Condensation Stage, her bag usually contained at most two or three mid-grade spirit stones, and they were usually gone after buying something.
Su Huanli thought for a moment, then frowned, “The disciples of the Longevity Sect are secondary. Why do they like to create things that mortals enjoy so much?”
After all, in the eyes of cultivators, being tainted by worldly influences was detrimental to their state of mind during breakthroughs.
Even they rarely went down the mountain.
Shui Ping’s parents were also in Wang’an County, and she rarely went back.
It was less frequent than the players’ movements.
It seemed like the players from the Longevity Sect were seen every time they went.
“Who knows?” Shui Ping said. “Perhaps they have different pursuits.”
“But…”
Shui Ping rested her head on Su Huanli’s shoulder. “Actually, I’m quite envious. It’s probably because there’s no pressure.”
On the path of cultivation, who didn’t wish to attain the Great Dao and eternal life?
They were just young girls of fifteen or sixteen.
They couldn’t let go of the seven emotions and six desires, yet they were forced to sever their feelings.
Shui Ping’s pressure stemmed from this. “I miss my mother.”
Su Huanli was startled.
Shui Ping at least had a mother to miss, but her own mother was gone forever.
Su Huanli sighed softly, “If you miss her, you should go see her. Your mother would be very happy.”
“I can’t go see her anymore. I saw her once two months ago.” Shui Ping’s brow showed a hint of struggle. “If Master finds out, she’ll scold me again. You’ve already reached Foundation Establishment, but my Foundation Establishment is nowhere in sight. If I upset her now…”
At this point, Shui Ping’s voice grew softer.
Su Huanli also understood Shui Ping’s difficulties.
She thought for a moment, “After the heavy snow ends, why don’t you come with me to the Cave Demon Valley border? Staying there for a while will surely be beneficial. Look, even the disciples of the Longevity Sect go there. They were only in the Early Qi Condensation Stage, but they returned in the Mid Stage. More training will always be beneficial.”
Shui Ping frowned, “I’d like to, but… I’ll think about it.”
In this deep night, everyone had their own troubles.
And Song Jiulai regretted it as soon as she set off in the heavy snow.
Han Tian and the others had returned, and they weren’t planning to set off yet, so why was she in such a hurry?
But she really should be in a hurry.
What if they met on the road if they set off together? That would be awkward.
It was cold, but not unbearable.
And the players naturally didn’t know their Sect Master was this competitive. Anyway, they had all returned.
No one knew how many days the heavy snow would last.
Anyway, they would continue going out after the snow stopped.
Some players couldn’t stand the damned weather in the game and, unable to do anything, simply logged off to rest.
Liang Xueyao was one of them.
He was supposed to be busy with the secret technique, but the heavy snow was too much, and he hadn’t found all the materials to refine the mustard seed bag.
Liang Xueyao had been playing the game non-stop for several days and nights, so he would naturally log off for normal rest and relaxation. However, this state still caused his family some worry.
Liang Xueyao took off the VR glasses from his face.
Upon seeing the section of his leg that had lost all sensation.
He was stunned for a long time.
Perhaps after ten minutes, a wry smile gradually appeared on his face.
This game was truly terrifying.
In the game, he was completely unaware that he was disabled in reality, to the point where he was deeply immersed in the game.
He didn’t want to log off, didn’t want to return to reality to face himself like this.
Only in the game did he feel like his true, vibrant self.
After a while, Liang Xueyao finally sighed and got up, leaning on his crutch to go to the restroom.
In fact, his condition was much better now. In the past, after doing anything, he would fall into utter despair once he withdrew, his state was very poor, and he would often smash things in frustration.
Now, at least he had recovered a lot.
He could even carry out daily life normally. Occasionally, when the nanny called him for meals, he wouldn’t get angry.
He had also met Wei Jun and roughly discussed some aspects of this game.
However, he wasn’t under his command, so he couldn’t get more information.
Liang Xueyao knew that the country must be paying attention to this game. He didn’t know the country’s subsequent actions, but he hoped this game wouldn’t be affected.
After coming out of the restroom, he leaned on his crutch again and went to the cabinet to get something.
He had been using a wheelchair before, so he was quite resistant to using crutches.
However, while reaching for something, he accidentally bumped a cup, and at that moment, the cup slipped and fell.
Liang Xueyao barely lifted his head. Before he even knew what he had knocked over, he instinctively caught the cup as it slid down.
The cup landed steadily in his palm.
Liang Xueyao stared at it for about ten seconds after catching the cup.
Then, he frowned with some hesitation.
Were his reactions this fast before?
