Not long after, the ship docked at the dock of Sishui City in the Wu Kingdom.
Sishui City was located on the side of the Wuan River. At the same time, there were two large north-south rivers that intersected here. It was like a crossroads of water, hence the name Sishui City.
A country had its own customs. Although the Wu Kingdom and the An Kingdom were only separated by the Hengduan Mountain Range, many things were different.
After getting off the ship, Ye Kong was surprised to find that more than 50% of the pedestrians and vendors at the dock were cultivators. Even the people carrying the sacks at the dock were cultivators. However, these cultivators' cultivation levels were not high. Among the hundreds of people, only a few were at the second level of Qi Refinement. The rest were at the first level of Qi Refinement. Some only had some spiritual power and were not even at the first level of Qi Refinement. As for the third level of Qi Refinement, there was not a single one.
Although their cultivation levels were not high, Ye Kong was still surprised to see so many of them.
Seeing Ye Kong's surprised look, Jiang Wulin smiled and said, "Brother Li, this must be the first time you've come to the Wu Kingdom. Generally, people who dare to come to the Wu Kingdom will be surprised to see so many cultivators."
Ye Kong nodded and said, "It is indeed surprising. How can there be more cultivators than mortals? Furthermore, those cultivators are doing mortal work. "
"Ignorant!" Jiang Wuyi finally had a chance to attack Ye Kong again. She said, "Actually, they are not cultivators, just mortals … You used the Heaven's Eye Technique to see that they have spiritual energy and have a cultivation level. That's because they practice a secular martial art called Spirit Martial."
"Spirit Martial? What kind of martial art is that? "Ye Kong asked curiously.
Jiang Wuyi wanted to keep him in suspense, but Jiang Wulin said first, "Spirit Martial is a kind of martial art between immortal cultivation and secular martial arts. This kind of martial art can be practiced regardless of whether one has a spiritual root or not. Its main function is to absorb spiritual energy to refine the body, making the mortal body stronger and more powerful … However, practicing Spirit Martial can only reach the second level of Qi Refinement at most. You can't use spells or manipulate artifacts, so Spirit Martial is still a kind of secular martial art. "
"I see." Ye Kong nodded and smiled, "Although it's not considered cultivation, it's still a kind of quasi-cultivation. It seems that the atmosphere of cultivation in the Martial Kingdom is still very strong."
Ye Kong thought, since this spirit martial art does not need spirit roots, then can Little Hong, Lu Qin and the others cultivate? But the second level of Qi Refining seemed too low.
Unwilling to give up, he asked, "Could it be that I can't enter the Dao through Body Refinement and step onto the Immortal Path?"
"Not likely." Jiang Wulin shook his head, "The quality of a mortal's body, as well as their fatal flaw of not being able to sense spiritual energy, caused them to be unable to progress further … Many generations of Spirit Martial Artists in the Wu Country have tried, but I've never heard of anyone being able to embark on the path of cultivation."
"Oh." Ye Kong nodded. It seemed that this Spirit Martial Art was still not enough. Even if they practiced it, they would at most be a little stronger in martial arts. It was impossible for them to cultivate to become immortals.
The atmosphere of cultivation in the Wu Country was really strong. When the three of them left on their flying artifact, no one paid much attention to them, unlike in the An Kingdom, where people would kneel and kowtow when they saw an immortal.
Later, Ye Kong learned that the Cloud Talisman Sect was near Sishui City. Immortals could be seen flying here and there every day, so the mortals were used to it.
The three of them rode on their flying artifacts. Ye Kong naturally used a low-grade flying sword, which made Jiang Wuyi despise and ridicule him again. Of course, Ye Kong pretended not to hear it.
Jiang Wulin, on the other hand, stood on a mid-grade flying sword and said cheerfully. If he hadn't met Xia Hui, he wouldn't have been willing to buy this mid-grade magic weapon.
Jiang Wuyi hated Xia Hui first and Heidan second, so she snorted angrily and thought, "When I see this guy named Xia Hui in the future, I will beat him into a pig's head so that my brother can't recognize him!"
Jiang Wuyi's flying artifact was a pair of Firestorm Wheels, which was also a middle-grade artifact. In order to show off, she also took out a flying sword. Two middle-grade artifacts, which made Heidan so jealous.
If Ye Kong even envied a middle-grade artifact, he would not be Ye Kong. He stared at Jiang Wuyi with an idea in his mind. Why did she look like Red Boy when she stepped on the Firestorm Wheels and wore red clothes? If she took a three-pointed spear … Well, no, Red Boy took a spear with red tassels … No, it was the Universe Ring.
Jiang Wuyi did not know that Ye Kong was thinking of a mythical figure. She saw Heidan's eyes staring at her, and her heart suddenly pounded for no reason.
"Damn Heidan! If you keep looking, I will dig out your eyes! "Jiang Wuyi scolded and flew away on the Firestorm Wheels.
Different from the big cultivation sects of the An Kingdom, which were deep in the mountains, the Yuntalisman Sect of the Wu Kingdom was on a mountain not far from Sishui City. After flying for a while, they arrived. From a distance, the appearance of the building made Ye Kong feel a little familiar. It looked like a Taoist temple on Earth.
Jiang Wuyi took them to the reception hall at the foot of the mountain. Ye Kong looked around and found that there were a lot of people!
This mountain gate was close to the secular world, which was not good. Every day, there were too many people who wanted to be apprentices and learn immortal skills. In addition, the sect recently announced that they would accept a group of disciples. When the news spread, people came and went more crazily every day, and the inside and outside of the hall could not be seen at a glance.
This time, there were two kinds of disciples. One was the inner hall disciples. These disciples were required to have excellent spiritual roots and would be trained vigorously in the future. Of course, if your talisman-making skills were promising, you could also be recruited into the inner hall.
The second kind was the outer hall disciples, whose spiritual roots were ordinary. The outer hall disciples played the role of coolies and handymen. Who would be willing to do that for those with good spiritual roots?
With acquaintances, they did not need to line up. Jiang Wuyi took them to the quiet back hall examination room and found a young male practitioner in Zhuji Realm.
"Senior Fellow Apprentice Cao, this is my elder brother, and this is Heidan. If they want to join the Yunfu Sect, can they not take the assessment?" Jiang Wuyi stepped forward and asked.
"No, it's just a formality. But if they want to enter the inner hall, they must have real skills. There will be an old ancestor in Bearing Essence to verify them."
"Oh, I just want them to enter the outer hall first, and then I will ask my master to accept them."
Senior Fellow Apprentice Cao nodded and said, "They are all at the middle stage of Lianqi Realm. It should be easy for them to join the outer hall."
"Okay, then I will take them in."
Jiang Wuyi just wanted to leave, but was stopped by Senior Fellow Apprentice Cao, "Junior Sister Apprentice, let your elder brother and others go in by themselves. They can pass easily. Come on, let me tell you a sensational thing recently!"
It seemed that the little pepper was still very popular. Jiang Wuyi chatted with Senior Fellow Apprentice Cao outside the door, while Jiang Wulin and Ye Kong walked in.
Senior Fellow Apprentice Cao's voice came from behind, "Junior Sister Apprentice, do you know that you have suffered a great loss now that you have come back from the An Kingdom!"
"Why?"
"There is a lawless little cultivator named Ye Kong in the An Kingdom. He killed the Khan of the Barbarian Tribe and the emperor of the An Kingdom. The Barbarian Tribe offered a bounty of 50,000 spiritual stones to kill him. At the same time, the Spiritual Medicine Mountain also issued a bounty of 100,000 spiritual stones!"
"Ah, one hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Stones!" Jiang Wuyi's red lips were wide open.
