Chapter 87 Travels (1)
Chapter 87 Travels (1)
As a concerned father, Xie Jing didn't really want Luo Zai Shui to run around everywhere after he had just completed his Golden Core formation, but the child was just too pitiful.
Aside from being taken out of Lingyun Peak by Ji Yun when she was a child, she has been either recuperating or on her way to recuperate. She has never had the chance to see this vast immortal realm. Let the child go if he wants to.
As a result, Luo Zai Shui acquired a whole storage ring full of top-grade talismans, pills, spirit stones, and magic tools, and even prepared a lot of clothes and hair ornaments. As for Xie Jing himself, he couldn't bear the scene of master and disciple being separated, so he went into seclusion before Luo Zai Shui even left.
The disciples of Xianyun Peak were the last to learn of Luo Zai Shui's travels. Ji Tinghan initially wanted to complain to his master, since his senior sister had just formed her core and should be recuperating. Why didn't his master stop her from going on her travels? And why didn't he take her with him? But his master was in seclusion, and Ji Tinghan had no outlet for his resentment, so he could only turn to his senior brother.
The eldest brother only just found out that his junior sister had gone traveling without a word. Shi Ming was a little worried. All the little devils in the sect loved to pester their senior sister. Now that they saw their senior sister had run away, they couldn't help but want to cause trouble. Why didn't his junior sister take him with her when she left? At least he could have looked after her on the road. He wondered if she could take care of herself while living a life of hardship.
Su Wusi was somewhat surprised by the news that her senior sister had gone on a journey, and moreover, her senior sister hadn't taken anyone with her. She didn't quite understand what her senior sister was planning to do. Although the cultivation world was maintaining a superficial peace, there were many conflicts outside, and her senior sister was probably going to encounter a lot of trouble. Why hadn't she taken her along? She could have been of great help.
But the person involved didn't think so much. Ever since she formed her core, Luo Zai Shui felt much lighter and more energetic. The price of this energy was that she couldn't stay idle.
After mastering all the sword techniques, reading all the books in the collection, and drawing countless top-grade talismans, Luo Zai Shui, adhering to the principle of not wasting his own family's direct disciples, resolutely decided to venture out and make his own way in the world.
Of course, she wasn't alone; Li Yue, whom she had grabbed halfway through the journey, was also traveling with her.
"Wow, this hot noodle soup is so delicious! Boss, another bowl, please!"
Passersby cast curious glances at her. "Isn't this just a simple bowl of noodles? How could this girl be so hungry?"
Li Yue wolfed down her food, completely oblivious to the stares of passersby. Luo Zai Shui, sitting opposite her, barely touched her chopsticks. Noticing how intense Li Yue's gaze was, Luo Zai Shui had no choice but to push her bowl of noodles in front of her.
After three years of getting to know each other, the two had long since lost their former formality and awkwardness. Li Yue didn't mind at all and picked up Luo Zai Shui's bowl of noodles and shoveled it into her mouth.
"Eat slowly, but order more."
"Aren't you going to eat?"
Luo Zai Shui shook her head: "I'm not hungry. You can eat slowly. There's no rush to get going."
Since forming her core, Luo Zai Shui has felt that her spiritual energy is abundant and she doesn't usually need to eat, but Li Yue, this newbie, does.
Li Yue was unlucky. She was haggling with someone at a street stall when a gust of wind swept past her and she was carried by Luo Zai Shui onto the flying sword.
"What are you doing?!"
"I'll take you to see this world of cultivation! Hold on tight!"
Having learned to fly on a sword, Luo Zai Shui's sword-wielding speed was incredibly fast, and in just three years, he had basically traversed the northern part of the cultivation world.
They have just escaped from the harsh, cold lands of the far north.
Luo Zai Shui hadn't originally planned to go to this extremely cold and frigid place in the far north, but during their travels, they heard that someone there had seen Xue Ling's whereabouts. Remembering that Xie Jing had mentioned that she had Xue Ling's bloodline, Luo Zai Shui decided to go and investigate.
Unexpectedly, a cold wave struck shortly after they entered, rendering compasses and talismans ineffective. However, the frigid northern land was perfect for Luo Zai Shui's cultivation. Without her having to meditate, spiritual energy flowed into her dantian. As a result, Luo Zai Shui, at the age of twenty-one, successfully achieved the Nascent Soul stage.
At this age, a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't be considered exceptionally talented in the cultivation world teeming with geniuses. However, in just three years, only one person in a thousand years has reached the Nascent Soul stage. But this didn't alarm the cultivation world, because no one noticed the tribulation in the frigid far north, and no one even knew that she had reached the Nascent Soul stage.
However, Xianyun Peak should already know by now.
"Ah, I'm full."
Li Yue rubbed her stomach, muttering to herself, "That place is no place for humans. It's so cold, and there's a blizzard. Do you know how dangerous that is? You should stay home during a blizzard. And that lightning tribulation of yours, how could it just come down like that? It was terrifying!"
The only victim of Luo Zai Shui's tribulation was Li Yue. Her spiritual power was weak, and without spiritual power to protect her in the bitter cold land, she could only rely on Luo Zai Shui's spiritual power and talismans. When the lightning tribulation struck, the area within a ten-mile radius could be affected.
But if Li Yue were to go too far away, she would surely lose her way in the wind and snow. She had no choice but to stay within Luo Zai Shui's line of sight.
Fortunately, the tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage was much smoother than the tribulation of the Core Formation stage. Li Yue only needed to dig her out of the mud pit and feed her a Rejuvenation Pill. Once Luo Zai Shui had recovered to a certain extent, the two of them emerged from the bitter cold land.
Luo Zai Shui simply smiled and said, "Thank you for your help this time."
Li Yue waved her hand: "It's no big deal. Aren't we friends? Besides, you've helped me a lot."
Li Yue paused for a moment: "Where are you going next? Aren't you going back?"
"how?"
Luo stopped drinking tea: "Didn't I say I wanted to travel the entire cultivation world? I've only covered the northern part."
Li Yue sat up straight, a rare occurrence for her, and asked seriously, "Then why did you bring me along?"
Luo Zai Shui took a sip of tea and said casually, "I met you on the way, so I gave you a ride."
"Alright then." Li Yue lazily poured herself a glass of water. "I'm not stupid. You brought me along on your travels, someone who would only hold you back, but you didn't bring your fellow disciples who could help you. You must have your reasons."
Luo Zai Shui did not refute, but simply nodded, signaling her to continue.
"You know I'm not from this world, so it doesn't matter where I go. Following you is just so you can solve my food problem. But, sister, please tell me the truth: I don't like my friends keeping things from me, especially my only friend in this world."
Luo Zai Shui raised an eyebrow and said with interest, "You're definitely not stupid."
"Just kidding, I'm a top student." Li Yue shrugged helplessly. "If this were the real world, I'd be sprawled on my bed playing video games by now, okay?"
"A top student...playing video games?"
The word "game" was familiar to Luo Zai Shui, but these words were completely foreign to her.
Li Yue looked at her: "Are you really not planning to return to the real world? Or is it..."
She had a guess in her heart, but she dared not voice it. If Ruoluo was not a time traveler in the water, then she was the only anomaly in this world. If that were the case, she would go crazy.
Luo Zai Shui clearly didn't notice this, and she had no intention of returning to that so-called real world. On the contrary, she just wanted to stay here peacefully.
Li Yue murmured, "I really want to go home."
Luo Zai Shui smiled and comforted her, "There will be a way."
