When Lou Xiaoyi got closer to the meeting place, he realized that he was overthinking things. Women's Assembly was not something you could understand from the word list. It was an all-women's gathering. Just as men's gatherings were always adorned with beautiful maids, women, in their pursuit of equality, used a lot of mediocrity in their large gatherings.
They were basically Qian Xiu and Foundation Establishment Qian Xiu, so they weren't hard to find. Splendid Garden itself was a force where Yin flourished and Yang declined, but that didn't mean that they didn't exist. In addition to the wild bees and butterflies among the surrounding small sects and rogue cultivators, it was enough for a conference.
There were always people who wanted to use some kind of shortcut to achieve their goals. The resource-poor Kun Xiu hoped to pave the path of cultivation through so-called Dao Companions. The Qian Xiu, who had no food left at home, also wanted to take a step forward through Dual Cultivation. In the cultivation world, this kind of happy cultivation would never go out of style. Instead, it was becoming more and more mainstream, large-scale, and industrialized.
Lou Xiaoyi rarely came into contact with these things because he had been placed in the most powerful forces of this star field from the very beginning, and had quickly made a name for himself. He had always been at the top of the food chain, and the levels he came into contact with were also very high, making cultivation a very easy thing. In fact, real cultivation was not like this.
The Kun Xiu Conference was located in an open area called the Mountain and Water Swamp. It was a large swamp very far away from Splendid Garden's mountain gate.
A swamp, as the name implied, was a place where poisonous miasma ran rampant, ferocious beasts lurked around, and dense with traps. It was a place where mortals were extinct. The Mountain and Water Swamp was originally such a place, but that was ten thousand years ago.
Ten thousand years later, under the perseverance of the people of Splendid Garden, the Mountain and Water Swamp was reborn. They used facts to tell others that the swamp actually had a beautiful side.
The Sword Range would never do such a boring thing. Whatever it was, it was now. They would not make any changes to the dome. However, Splendid Garden would not. They did not have the strength to choose the territory they liked. They were passively assigned here. They could only use the power of cultivation to change nature. Fortunately, their orthodoxy was very good in this aspect. This was also the reason why they were close to the Dharma Vein.
Various kinds of beautiful swamp plants were transplanted, countless pure herbivorous animals were raised, and the five elements under the swamp were imperceptibly influenced. Even though the change was very slow, after more than ten thousand years of persistence, the mountains and rivers of the swamp had completely changed.
This was the choice of a Confucian orthodoxy that loved beauty. There was no good or bad about it. Everyone had their own eyes. At least from Lou Xiaoyi's point of view, the poisonous insects in the original Shanshui Swamp were innocent. They were almost extinct in the place where they lived because they were not beautiful.
The current landscape was completely different. Looking down from the sky, one could see flowers blooming like a piece of brocade, thousands of miles of beautiful scenery. The miasma was gone, and the poisonous insects were extinct. It was like a huge paradise on earth. Of course, mortals still couldn't enter. They would still be trapped and become fertilizer for the swamp. The poisonous miasma was gone, but there was still the flower miasma, which was equally fatal.
It was very suitable to hold a gathering of kun cultivators in such a place. Colorful clothes and fresh flowers set off each other. Laughter accompanied the cries of cranes, and there were no signs of a bandit's lair.
There were no defensive formations and no cultivators on duty. The Women's Gathering in the Fifth Ring was the safest gathering. No one would be blind enough to come and cause trouble, because you would never know who was standing behind them. If you weren't careful, you would end up as an enemy of the entire region.
Therefore, the Women's Gathering was very open. They didn't reject strangers. Kun guests were welcomed, and qian guests were entertained. As long as you showed respect to the kun cultivators, it was fine. The nature of such a gathering was very attractive. Of course, qian cultivators with real prospects and potential wouldn't come.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lou Xiaoyi dressed himself in a straw hat. This was because he had been too conspicuous at the Fish Leaping Cliff. Tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment cultivators had looked at him for 10 years. This appearance was no longer a secret in the Fifth Ring. He was the most famous red cultivator back then. Although he was a little past his prime now, he still had the foundation. It was certain that he would be recognized at such a gathering.
The straw hat meant to tell others openly that he didn't want to reveal his identity due to personal reasons. It was a kind concealment, and not a deliberate use of a secret technique to change his appearance. It was fine if he wasn't discovered, but if he met someone who was sensitive in this aspect, it would be easy for others to misunderstand.
Although it was a gathering of Foundation Establishment cultivators, there were also many Jin Dan cultivators like Yan Chen who had led teams. Their skills were profound, especially the Dharma Meridian cultivators. This was especially true for women. They had terrifying talent in the aspect of appearance. Lou Xiaoyi didn't dare to show his slight skill in front of them.
However, his eyes weren't idle. They were watery, ripe, and had been used by pigs, but had never been used by pigs. They were a feast for the eyes. It was also a pity that he only found out about such a good gathering now. Even if he did, it was too late. He was about to leave this place full of life. It was melancholy.
In his impression, the so-called home, the so-called place where the sword was drawn, Qing Kong was a place for retirement, right? A place for retirement also meant that it was dry, boring, and monotonous. This might have been suitable for his previous mindset as a rice worm, but not now.
Life was like this. When you wanted to be a rice worm, the heavens would definitely throw you into a bandit's den. When you were used to the bandit's way of life, the heavens would throw you back into a rice bag!
However, before his beauty viewing experience even began, it ended. A Foundation Establishment Jin Xiu female cultivator came up to him. His attire wouldn't be a problem outside, but in this place, he didn't fit in with the atmosphere. Everyone else had pretty faces, but he had a straw hat that obscured his face. He was dressed in black, and it was especially out of place. Everyone else was admiring the flowers and grass, but he was carrying a big sword case …
"Where are you from, esteemed guest? Do you need the Jin Xiu to guide you? " The Jin Xiu female cultivator was very courteous. Although she couldn't discern the cultivation level of the Jin Dan under Lou Xiaoyi's Divine Concealment Spell, she couldn't neglect the sword case on his back. The only thing she wasn't sure of was which Sword Vein this guest was from. Xuanyuan? Wei Sword Mountain? Yun Ding?
From a geographical point of view, the possibility of it being a Xuanyuan Swordsman was the highest. However, from the way things were done, there had never been a Xuanyuan male Swordsman who took the initiative to participate in such activities. The Wei Sword Mountain was even more so. Instead, it was the Yun Ding Swordsman who was the most likely.
They had a good relationship with the Dharma Sect. If he was really from the Yun Ding, she had to remind him to be careful. There was also a group of female tigers from the Dong Ding participating in this event!
"There's no need to trouble yourself. Just tell me where the Xuanyuan Swordsman is, and I'll go there myself."
Looking at the cautious expression on the little Jin Xiu's face, he suddenly understood and laughed.
"You're thinking too much. I'm also from Xuanyuan. I'm looking for them for something, not for a fight!"
The Shanshui Swamp was thousands of miles wide. In such an occasion, it wasn't appropriate to use one's divine sense to scan the area. It was disrespectful. Lou Xiaoyi came from a big family, and he placed great importance on such etiquette. This was also the best way to reduce trouble.
He wasn't the main character of a novel who attracted hatred everywhere.
