In the end, Xu Que successfully collected all the Vital Rice in the nest of the Vital Ants!
Together with the part that he had collected in a hurry, all the Vital Rice added up to nearly 1,000 years of lifespan.
Although the queen ant was extremely unwilling, she had to cooperate with Xu Que because of his fear of his identity and his Reincarnation Palm, which could control the Rules of Life and Death!
"Remember, come to my room alone tonight. I have something important to discuss with you!"
Xu Que said with a smile and then left with the woman.
Watching Xu Que and the woman leave, the queen ant was so angry that she stamped her feet and said, "Humph, this despicable and shameless human is so different from the One Chosen by Heaven described by our ancestors. You want me to go to your room tonight? In your dreams! Don't think I don't know your dirty idea! You want to absorb my lifespan! I won't go there! "
After that, she waved her hand and ordered the Vital Ants, "Move everything in the nest and follow me to change the nest. We will move to the western suburbs and find my father!"
…
At the same time, Xu Que had already left the eastern suburbs and was close to the human city!
Along the way, he learned a lot from the woman. In this city, the Vital Rice was the only currency that could be used to buy everything. Countless cultivators would go crazy for it!
Xu Que's Vital Rice, which had 1,000 years of lifespan, was definitely enough for him to be the leader of a middle force in the city.
As for the safe place that she had mentioned before, she was too embarrassed to mention it now.
According to Xu Que's strength, he could easily crush the queen ant and collect more than 10,000 grains of Vital Rice, which added up to 1,000 years of lifespan. How could she dare to mention the small cooperation of 20 grains of Vital Rice!
"My fellow cultivator, let's part ways here. I've decided to go to that place alone!"
At last, when they arrived at the city, the woman finally said goodbye.
"OK, take care of yourself!" Xu Que smiled and nodded slightly.
Even if he had 10,000 grains of Vital Rice now, he would not give them to this woman for no reason.
Nowadays, what was the use of being beautiful?
In the World of Cultivators, especially in this city, beauty was the most useless thing. Xu Que even dared to imagine that if he casually threw out dozens of Vital Rice, countless beautiful women in the city would flock to him, and many of them would be more beautiful than this woman!
"You are the one who should be careful!" The woman replied abruptly. She glanced at the city and shook her head. "Although you are powerful, there are aces in the Earth Celestial Stage here. Remember, they are real aces in the Earth Celestial Stage, and there are more than one of them. If they know that you can control the Rules of Life and Death, they will definitely join forces to deal with you. So you'd better keep a low profile! Goodbye! "
With that, the woman cupped her fists and left.
Xu Que raised his eyebrows and immediately stopped her, "Miss, wait a minute!"
"Hmm? Is there something else, Fellow Daoist? "The woman was startled and turned around.
A smile appeared on Xu Que's face. "Actually, you don't have to take the risk. How about this? If you answer a few of my questions, I'll give you 20 grains of Vital Rice as a reward. What do you think?"
"Eh …" The woman was stunned.
Although she knew how easy it was for Xu Que to obtain Vital Rice, it was the first time for her to see him offer 20 grains of Vital Rice as a reward. This was too generous, which made her feel uneasy instantly!
"Just … just answer questions?" She asked anxiously.
"Of course, if it's something else, I'll definitely increase the price. Don't worry!" Xu Que squinted his eyes with a smile.
Seeing this smile, the woman recalled the expression on Xu Que's face when he asked the Queen Ant to go to his room that night. She felt a chill down her spine and replied hurriedly, "I only answer questions, nothing else!"
"OK!" Xu Que said with a smile, nodding his head.
In fact, he had just mentioned it casually. After all, he really hadn't thought about f * cking ants. Otherwise, he wouldn't have told the Queen Ant to go to his room that night.
He didn't even have a place to stay in the city. How could he find a room?
Moreover, the city was heavily guarded. If the Queen Ant came alone, she wouldn't be able to return, right?
"What do you want to know?" The woman looked at Xu Que and asked seriously. She was ready to earn 20 grains of Vital Rice to prolong her younger brother's life.
After all, she had no other choice. She also knew it was not safe for her to go to that so-called safe place alone. Xu Que was helping her on purpose. In this way, she wouldn't think it was charity!
"Tell me about your background first, including what you know about the three continents of the World of Near Celestial!" Xu Que asked directly.
He had learned some things about the World of Near Celestial from Wang Qiannian. However, he knew Wang Qiannian didn't have the patience to answer him. Now, he could get more information from this woman. So, he felt it was worthwhile to spend 20 grains of Vital Rice!
"I'm from the Xuanhuang Continent. I'm a teacher from the Lihuo Academy …" The woman told him her identity and background directly without any hesitation.
Her name was Lan Xinyue. She was a teacher from a second-rate academy in the Xuanhuang Continent. Second-rate academies were one level lower than the Dongsheng Academy, the Ivy Academy and the Jiuhe Academy.
In the Xuanhuang Continent, there were only the three first-rate academies. There were more than 100 second-rate academies and even more third-rate academies.
The level of academies was determined by how many powerhouses at the Earth Celestial Stage were in the academies.
In the first-rate academies, there should be at least one powerhouse at the Later Stage of the Earth Celestial Stage and 10 powerhouses at the Initial Stage of the Earth Celestial Stage. Also, there should be more than 100 powerhouses at the Human Celestial Stage teaching in the academies, who were called teachers or teachers!
This model was similar to that of the sects. However, the model of the academies was more scientific. The teachers in the academies were more detailed. All the teachers had their own specialties, including cultivation, alchemy, amulet, and spell formations. In order to ensure the all-round development of the apprentices in the academies, they could cultivate elites for the Xuanhuang Continent.
After the apprentices graduated, they could stay in the academies to teach or be sent to the big sects. Some of them could even be sent to the Earth Continent, which was one level higher!
In this way, the influence of the academies could be spread all over the world.
Lan Xinyue used to be an apprentice in the Lihuo Academy. Her talent was just average. When she reached the Human Celestial Stage, she stayed in the academy to teach. On the one hand, she could be protected by the academy. On the other hand, she could take care of her younger brother who was only at the Half-Celestial Stage!
To Xu Que's surprise, Lan Xinyue taught calligraphy and painting in the academy.
"I didn't expect you are a painter!" Xu Que was surprised.
"Celestials can be consulted about the 3,000 Great Ways. Zither, chess, calligraphy and painting are quite important in the World of Near Celestials. They are almost as difficult as spell formations and alchemy! My painting can contain Taoist Connotation, which can help people to understand the Taoist Connotation and break through the bottleneck! "Lan Xinyue said.
"Is it useful for you?" Xu Que asked with a smile.
"Of course it's useful for me! At least I can get Spiritual Crystals! My fellow cultivator, don't underestimate the art of painting. It's a very abstruse art. It's said there was a Celestial Painter in the World of Near Celestials who could take out Celestial Artifacts from his paintings by waving his brush. He integrated the process of refining artifacts into his paintings. From the materials of refining artifacts to the control of flames, he created something out of nothing with his brush and paper! "Lan Xinyue replied.
Xu Que raised his eyebrows immediately. Created something out of nothing with a brush and paper? Isn't she the magic brush, Ma Liang?
"Awesome! It seems I have to have a try when I have a chance!" Xu Que said with a smile.
If he could learn about the art of painting one day, he would study the structure of the human body and create something out of nothing from the cells. Then, he would draw those Japanese teachers who taught him mysterious knowledge when he was young!
"Oh? Xu Daoyou, are you interested in becoming a painter? "Lan Xinyue asked curiously.
She could tell Xu Que's bone age was no more than 100 years. He had reached the Half-Celestial Stage at such a young age. His talent was absolutely extraordinary!
If he was also interested in becoming a painter, it would be a good thing for the world of painters if he was talented!
"No!"
However, Xu Que shook his head and replied with an ambiguous smile, "I want to be an illustrator!"
"An illustrator?"
Lan Xinyue was puzzled for she had never heard of such a title!
"That's enough! You can continue to introduce the World of Near Celestials. By the way, have you heard of the Jade Lake?" Xu Que waved his hand and didn't continue to talk about illustrators.
After all, he thought as a low-key, innocent, and pure man, he should always keep a pure heart. How could he tell Lan Xinyue that the word "insert" in an illustrator was a verb?
