He flipped the jade invitation again and understood. It was not that there was a problem with the sword technique, but that there were only the first five stages of the first level, and the place where it stopped was the fatal point.
"What a good plan!" Ye Kong couldn't help but sigh with sorrow. If he didn't guess wrongly, this jade letter was definitely something that Old Ancestor Jing Quan had already predicted that he would go to Wan Xuan's place to inquire about it, so he intentionally let Wan Xuan give it to him. That was why Wan Xuan had given it to him so generously. Otherwise, how would that crafty old man Wan Xuan dare to bear the crime of privately imparting power?
Jing Quan's plan was very simple. He just wanted to get a small part of it to keep you in suspense. When you really wanted it, hehe, sorry, there was a condition.
Just like many reading websites on earth, the first dozens of chapters were free, and when you were addicted, you had to pay.
Even people on earth were addicted to reading novels, let alone cultivators. Cultivators were obsessed with power and the pursuit of power, which made them unable to extricate themselves from cultivation. It was just like taking drugs.
However, Ye Kong thought that Ancestor Jing Quan wanted him to be his disciple and work for him and the Wan Family because he had no successor. He believed that Ancestor Jing Quan's ultimate goal was not to kill him, but to control him.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with this. It was just to do something for the Wan Family. He believed that Ancestor Jing Quan would not take the risk of offending the Cloudseal Sect to force him to change sects.
Everything else was fake. The key was that this Sky Slicing Sword Technique was too good! After mastering it, it would be too powerful! No matter what, I must practice it! I must practice it even if I don't practice the Five Elements Immortal Ascension Scripture!
"Oh no, oh no, the inner demon is coming again." Ye Kong could not help but sigh. No wonder those cultivators killed their wives and children for treasures … In the face of those magic treasures, skills, and elixirs that represented great power, how many people in the world could resist the temptation and stick to their Taoist Heart?
He was just about to sit cross-legged and continue to fight against the inner demon, but he felt someone coming from outside.
"Who is it? Really. "Ye Kong opened the tactical array and walked out of the room, only to find that it was an unexpected person.
It was the female cultivator in black, Wang Tingshi, who was standing outside. Seeing Ye Kong come out, she showed a pleasant smile.
"Fellow Daoist Li, can we go out for a walk?" Wang Tingshi asked.
Since he had an inner demon, going out for a walk wasn't a bad idea. Ye Kong nodded and said, "Alright then, let's go out for a walk."
Ye Kong returned to the guest house in the morning. After meditating, it was already evening when he came out. Five-colored golden clouds floated in the sky, illuminating the formation with a bright red hue.
The mortals were very confident in the Three Flowers and Five Clouds Great Array of the Wan Clan Patriarch, so there was no tension in the Wan Clan City before a great battle. Instead, in the evening, the sky was filled with countless sparkling flowers, making it look even more romantic.
Stepping on the ancient bluestone slabs, looking at the shopkeepers greeting their customers, with flowers falling everywhere around them, this feeling was really wonderful.
"This is for you." Ye Kong casually pinched a floating illusory flower, but when he sent it halfway, the flower disappeared without a trace.
"Illusory, I can never catch it." Wang Tingshi smiled faintly. There was a hint of melancholy in her smile, which made her smile even more moving, more classical, and with a hint of sorrow. At this moment, it was as if she was in a painting.
"As long as we work hard to catch it, what can't we catch?" Ye Kong took out a small sword magic artifact and used the sword qi threads he had just learned to catch another falling red flower.
The flower slowly rotated at the top of the small sword magic artifact, changing colors. When it was in front of Wang Tingshi, it had already turned pink. Everything was like a dream.
"This is the first time someone has given me a flower." Wang Tingshi smiled and wanted to catch it with her hand, but when her fingers touched the flower, it disappeared in an instant. She curled her pink lips and smiled bitterly. "Unfortunately, I still can't catch it."
Ye Kong smiled and pointed into the distance. "Of course, illusory things can't last long, but only by finding the real can we have it forever. So, sometimes, our direction is wrong. The harder we work, the more we fail, and we can never reach the shore full of flowers."
Perhaps Ye Kong's words were too profound, but Wang Tingshi didn't understand. She turned her head and looked at Ye Kong in confusion.
He didn't explain and just continued forward. He asked, "Fellow Daoist Wang, why are you looking for me today?"
Wang Tingshi shook her head. "Actually, it's nothing. I mainly want to thank you for teaching me the things to pay attention to when I'm out in the market square that day. I didn't build my foundation for long before I went out to gain experience. Moreover, I was accompanied by my seniors, so I don't know much about the outside world. I can see that Fellow Daoist Li is a good person and sincere, unlike Zhang Mingqiang and the others who all have ulterior motives. So, I want to make friends with Fellow Daoist Li. "
Ye Kong didn't expect that he would accidentally be labeled as a good person. He smiled bitterly. "Actually, I'm not a good person either. It's just that I see you're pretty, so I said something extra."
"No." Wang Tingshi shook her head. "Fellow Daoist Li, you're really a good person. Although I've never had friends, I can really feel that you're someone who can be friends with."
She couldn't get rid of this good person card. Ye Kong nodded. "Alright, I'm a good person. But why don't you have friends? I heard you mention your sect just now, so you're not really an individual cultivator, right? The disciples and sisters in your sect can all be friends. "
Wang Tingshi didn't say anything. She just smiled and avoided this topic.
Ye Kong looked at the sky, then looked left and right. He said, "Then, friend, how about I treat you to a good meal?"
Wang Tingshi immediately beamed with joy. "Okay! But don't go to Fragrant Fragrance Restaurant. Yesterday, Zhang Mingqiang dragged me there. He said it's the best restaurant in Wan Family City, but the taste isn't that great. "
"Let's go. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the street stall. It didn't have a storefront, just a corner of the road. There were two small tables and a wooden tray. An old man was slightly trembling as he scooped out bowls of white and tender tofu pudding.
It was a very simple tofu pudding. Other than tofu, there was water. A layer of steam floated on top of the tofu pudding. Then, a small handful of chopped green onion was sprinkled on top.
"Why is it a simple tofu pudding?" Wang Tingshi frowned. She had also eaten tofu pudding before, but there were many other things that were delicious.
Ye Kong smiled and said, "Try it." In fact, when Liu Ying brought him here yesterday, he also didn't believe that such a simple tofu pudding could be so delicious. It was as if he had eaten the most satisfying tofu pudding in his dreams.
"Then let me try it." Wang Tingshi smiled and picked up a small porcelain spoon.
When the tofu pudding entered her mouth, her beautiful eyes immediately curved, and the corners of her beautiful lips curled up.
"It's really delicious. There's a special feeling … but I can't describe this feeling. In any case, it's delicious." Wang Tingshi waited for the tofu pudding to completely disappear in her mouth before saying.
"Eat more if you like it." Ye Kong said and also scooped a spoonful into his mouth. However, he was surprised to find that today's tofu pudding tasted much worse than yesterday's!
