He tried his best not to let the waiting affect his cultivation.
Time continued to pass calmly, but the boots never touched the ground.
He was beginning to understand that what was important to him was nothing in the eyes of the big sects and powers. People like them, including Smoky, might think that killing a Supreme and Three Pure Ones cultivator was a big deal, but in the eyes of people at a higher level, it was just one of the hundreds of deaths that occurred every year in the Sword Range and Dharma Range.
This was a way for the big sects to train the low-level cultivators. There would be no organized revenge. They would only deal with it when the time was right. He was thinking too much!
"Do you want a change of environment? Fighting with different types of Dharma cultivators? Maybe this will help you improve your combat experience? "
One day, after Lou Xiaoyi finished his cultivation, Ajiu tempted him.
Lou Xiaoyi was very vigilant. "Is it for you, Lord Jiu, or for a training ground? Are you the one who sent me there? Who is the opponent? How did I come back? "
After listening to this kid's series of questions, Ajiu knew that this matter was troublesome. It wanted to replicate its master's success on this kid because even after tens of thousands of years, it still didn't understand the human cultivation system very well. What it could do was limited, and it could only follow the rules. This was the only thing it could do.
"It's not for me! What do I need a small Foundation Establishment like you to do for me? If I want, there are a lot of high-level Swordsman willing to help me!
It's another world. Yes, your body can't go there. Only your spiritual body can go there. You'll be a pagoda spirit in a space similar to a pagoda. You'll be responsible for measuring the true level of human cultivators. You'll never be in danger. There will be countless opponents of all kinds … "
Lou Xiaoyi understood a little. It was a little like a dream. The spiritual body was there, but the physical body wasn't. There might be some experience left, but other than that …
"Is this your request, Lord Jiu?"
Ajiu was a little discouraged. "It's not a request, and it has nothing to do with me. It's up to you whether you want to go or not. I'm just providing you with this opportunity."
Lou Xiaoyi thought about it. His tone was gentle, but his attitude was firm.
"Lord Jiu, I don't want to go! Because what I lack now is not combat experience, but combat strength!
If my mind goes there, my body won't be able to go there. This means that I won't be able to improve my cultivation! His body couldn't be improved either! Other than experience, I can't think of anything I can improve in the areas you mentioned.
What I need to cultivate right now is my cultivation, sword spirit, psyche, and so on. These can't be separated from my body, so … "
Ajiu was disappointed and frustrated. He also knew that times had changed. Cultivation could not be replicated!
Back then, when it sent its master over, it was a very natural thing to do. It was forced to do so. At that time, it was only a small Foundation Establishment Spiritual Treasure. But now, it was no longer the same as before. The marks left behind by the axe were too obvious.
Moreover, there were no ferocious Sirius people in that place, only tranquility. The test was no longer a test of life and death. Instead, it was a test of mutual appreciation. It was truly the style of the upper realm. In terms of danger, it could not be compared to the current Fifth Ring!
Humans could only train themselves in dangerous adversity. From this point of view, this kid's choice was not wrong at all!
It realized that even though it had lived for tens of thousands of years, its trump cards were still very limited. Even for a small Foundation Establishment Spiritual Treasure, it was not of much help. This made it very discouraged.
Although it was still very young among the Spiritual Treasures, it felt that it was a little old and useless.
"You should carry the locator with you at all times. When you're in danger, you can hide in it. In the Fifth Ring, there aren't many who can find you …"
Lou Xiaoyi thanked it sincerely, but he had his own thoughts.
"Of course I'll carry the locator with me. I have all my belongings with me! But Lord Jiu, you should know that it takes a certain amount of time to use it. Moreover, if I use it as my last resort, then my achievements in swordsmanship will forever be limited!
I'm not a one-track mind. If I'm surrounded by a large number of opponents, I don't mind using my last resort. But if I still have a chance, I shouldn't rely on my last resort. It's not good for my cultivation! "
Ajiu was speechless …
Lou Xiaoyi rejected Ajiu's good intentions. It was not entirely because he did not trust Lord Jiu. Lord Jiu had stayed in Xuanyuan for tens of thousands of years. Why would he want to slander a small Foundation Establishment Spiritual Treasure?
He just habitually did not want to take advantage of others too much. He did not want to leave too many favors behind. This would make him involuntarily.
He could reject Lord Jiu's invitation, but he could not reject the sect's order!
After coming to Mao Zian Town for nearly eight years, the ancient tower array sent him the following message for the first time:
An Ding City, Chun Shu Daoist, a Foundation Establishment Disciple of Wan Jingliu, intends to surrender. This matter is related to the division of the Red River Valley's mercury-lead mining. You are ordered to receive him quickly without delay!
The following was the specific background of this mission …
Lou Xiaoyi sighed. He actually wanted to ask if the time for this mission would be deducted from the mission of guarding Mao Zian Town.
An Ding City was a small city in the Western Regions. In terms of influence, it was within the influence of Wan Jingliu. In terms of geographical location, it was indeed not far from Mao Zian Town. If they were in a hurry, it was reasonable to send him to take action nearby.
Mao Zian Town was originally one of the few places in Xuanyuan's sphere of influence that bordered Wolf Ridge. It was a lonely place that protruded forward. To the east was Wolf Ridge, to the north was Jia Lan's sphere of influence, and not far south was Wan Jingliu's sphere of influence.
An Ding City did not have anything unusual. It was also an area where Xuanyuan and Wan Jingliu's sphere of influence intersected. It was under the control of Wan Jingliu. However, there was a river valley near An Ding City called the Red River Valley. It was unknown before, but recently, there was a rumor that it contained rich mercury-lead resources, so there was a dispute.
The location of the Red River Valley was very tricky. It was right at the intersection of the two forces, so the problem of how to mine it was tested by the vision of both sides!
Was there more underground mineral deposits in Xuanyuan? How about the distribution? Or was there more at Wan Jingliu's side? How about the trend of the mineral veins? This would decide the problem of the distribution of the mineral deposits!
The place was not big, so it was very difficult for both sides to mine their own mines. This would easily lead to disputes on the distribution of benefits!
In the Five Ring Continent, there were many precedents like this. This was because the mining of minerals was entrusted to mortals. For the sake of their own benefits, the conflict between the two sides was almost irreconcilable. Armed fights and gang fights were common. If someone really died, naturally they would have to look for their own mother. Yes, the cultivation forces. Then between the cultivation forces, was it possible to have another war between the cultivation sects because of the mortals' deaths and injuries?
Small forces could do this, but for large forces like Xuanyuan and Wan Jingliu, it was completely unacceptable!
Therefore, in this kind of situation, the more popular method was to let a mortal merchant be in charge of mining, and the two cultivation sects would divide the profits proportionally!
The problem was, who would get more? Who would get less?
