Chapter 378 Starry Sky Cultivation Era [4k]
After saying goodbye to Kui, Xu Xing did not return to the Central Continent, but chose to continue staying in the starry sky.
He wanted to look around to see if there would be some special encounters in the starry sky that could give him the inspiration to break through the 'Daowang'.
By the way, you can also observe the starry sky, which has become completely different now.
The Central Continent is indeed richer than the starry sky, but what he needs now is not more resources for cultivation. After all, external objects are of no use to him in his current state.
Of course, he will not stay in the starry sky for too long, as there are still many things he needs to do in the Central Continent.
For example, 'Ascension' and the upcoming Immortal Sect Competition.
Not to mention that this is his first Immortal Sect Competition after coming out of seclusion. The 'Immortal Network' he built based on the information about the gods he collected in that Tongxuan energy level world will also begin its first test.
Ning Ruo has made progress and the basic framework has been built.
Later, after some discussion among several fellow Taoists in the group, they finally decided to name it "Taixuanxian.com".
It sounds a bit old-fashioned, but it's better than the 'Little Yellow Duck Fairy Network'. The 'Taixuan Immortal Sect Leader's Pension Mutual Aid Group' is already abstract enough...
Although it's not that I can't accept "abstract", it's better to be serious about this kind of thing.
……
……
The southern star field, the Jingming star system, the Fuming 31 star system.
As a famous "port star system" in the entire Jingxing star system, the number of starships entering and leaving the dock every day is an extremely terrifying number.
There are good and bad people among them, there are some emerging forces like [Jingyue] and [Qiuzhen], there are also some older sects, or the righteous alliance and even the major immortal sects!
However, the Righteous Alliance has just recovered from the state of "broken spirit", so it is still in the starting stage, and there are not many starships in the port.
But this situation should change soon.
After all, no matter what, the Righteous Alliance is the most powerful force in the Central Continent besides the seven major immortal sects.
In addition, there are some personal starships and aircraft used by space travelers.
Densely packed, various starships are parked in the outer space, and streams of blue psychic particles, large and small, add a unique color to the deep darkness.
Higher up.
Xu Xing quietly overlooked the entire star system.
Everything in the entire galaxy was clearly visible in his eyes, and the prosperous scene was in full view.
Compared to the Central Continent, today's starry sky may better represent the changes of this era...
He suddenly remembered the world he had met before, the world where Yuan had stayed.
In that world, the original direction of the world changed due to Yuan's influence, but he did not actually use too much extraordinary power in that process.
His cultivation in the Dongzhen realm only allowed him to see the situation in that world more clearly, and then he made some changes at some key points.
Xu Xing's impression of his hometown is actually very vague, but he still remembers that his hometown has not reached the level of the current Taixuan Realm.
Now thinking back, everything Yuan did in Taixuan Realm, although much more difficult than that world, was essentially the same -
Give the world a push at a critical turning point.
This sounds very simple, but when you really do it, you will find that it is extremely difficult, not to mention the situation that Yuan was in at the beginning...
call out!
A spherical aircraft that could not even be called a 'starship', with many array patterns etched on its outer shell, flew out from the Fuming 31 star system at a high speed and passed by Xu Xing.
In the narrow space inside, a practitioner in the late Jindan stage was sleeping with his eyes closed. There was a worm-like scar on his face, which covered his entire face at an angle, making him look particularly hideous.
This is a star traveler.
His storage ring contained many very common human specialties that were difficult for most of the alien races in the starry sky to access.
Such as the lowest-level potions that restore spiritual power, elixirs, some condiments, and even several sets of formation flags with multiple protective measures.
'Air conditioning' array, 'constant temperature' array, 'scheduled cleaning' array...
Similarly, it is also a very common and cheap battle flag.
Most of the starry sky merchants of lower realms use these to trade with the alien races in the starry sky in exchange for the scarce resources unique to those alien races.
Don't doubt whether those alien races are willing to trade. The high-ranking officials of those alien races are very happy to exchange for some human "luxury goods" to show their own differences.
In the starry sky, the number of alien races that can escape from their own planets is only a small part after all, and those that can escape from the star system or even the galaxy they are in are even fewer.
The starry sky is vast, so as long as you can find the right alien in the starry sky, you will usually get very good returns.
But this is also very dangerous. After all, not every alien race is gentle and friendly...
Just like the star system where Zhang Yunlu had carried out his mission before, and the alien races on those planets.
If it weren't for the special nature of the biological weapon center, which led to its discovery in the first place, who knows how many more star merchants would have fallen into the trap.
Xu Xing watched curiously until it disappeared into the darkness.
There was no such 'profession' before his retreat.
Although there were some practitioners who did similar things in the past and traded with alien races in the starry sky to reap profits, the realm of those practitioners was not very low.
Apart from anything else, crossing the starry sky is not something that ordinary practitioners can do.
Only in this era when the starry sky is filled with human teleportation and jump formations, will the cost of crossing the starry sky be reduced to a level that even Jindan stage practitioners can afford.
"..."
Xu Xing withdrew his gaze.
The Starry Sky Merchants are just a microcosm of this new era of cultivation. There are many other places that have changed greatly!
Such as star refining, galaxy reconstruction, and galaxy ecological transformation, etc.
Were all these changes made by Yuan himself?
Absolutely not!
He just made the most crucial move at the most critical period.
After thinking it all through, Xu Xing finally realized where he was lacking before.
"It's easier said than done..."
After smiling, Xu Xing turned and left.
'I can do it, too' is one of the three great illusions in life.
Just like Xu Xing thought the same thing every time he wanted to do something before he went into seclusion, but the results were often not satisfactory...
I heard from my senior sister that Jiuyu is planning to bring Yunlu to the starry sky to relax.
He planned to walk around for a while, and if he still had no inspiration, he would go back with them.
As he thought, his figure gradually disappeared into the deep and dark space, just like the star merchant who had left before.
In fact, the last time Du Ruoheng came to him to ask about some difficult matters, he mentioned the matter about the starry sky merchants.
Some people want to increase the fees for using teleportation and jump formations in the starry sky, and raise the tax rate on starry sky merchants.
It's an extremely small number, but if the base number is the star field under the rule of the Sword Sect, it would be very exaggerated.
It can make even the dignified Sword Sect's leader feel embarrassed...
There is no doubt that some troublesome people and things are involved.
But Xu Xing didn't like it, so he didn't agree.
Of course, many people will be dissatisfied with this.
So in order to avoid embarrassing the sect leader, he said it specifically.
If the person who raised this matter feels that there is something wrong with it, he can come and talk to him in person, and if what he says is reasonable, he can support the decision.
But in the end no one came to find him.
…………
Central Continent, Sword Sect.
After paying homage to his parents' remains that day, Zhang Xiu did not leave immediately, but stayed in the Sword Sect for some time.
The main reason is that I am a little worried that my sister will be too sad...
As a result, after a few days, it was Zhang Yunlu who spent more time worrying about him.
Seeing that her sister has really grown up, she no longer needs to worry about herself. And she heard that her senior sister is planning to take her out to relax.
So, he also prepared to return to the sect.
canteen.
In a private room in the deepest third floor area.
The three of them sat around a table, and the room was filled with a strange fragrance.
They were Chi Jiuyu, Zhang Yunlu and Zhang Xiu.
Jiang Hong had already gone back early.
Before leaving, Chi Jiuyu felt that as a senior sister, it was necessary for her to see Xiao Yunlu's brother off.
So she arranged it here, and in order not to lose face, she even chopped half of the remaining phoenix for the reception.
As for the remaining one third, she planned to eat it slowly when she took Xiao Yunlu to the starry sky.
"Eat quickly, don't be polite to me!" Chi Jiuyu greeted warmly.
Zhang Xiu looked at the big pot in front of him with boiling red oil and rising hot steam in doubt.
This... is chicken, right?
But how could chicken have such a smell?
Could it be that some special seasoning was added, or some special cooking technique was used, or some special magical medicine was added?
Under Chi Jiuyu's urging, he finally couldn't help but taste a piece.
Wow!
In an instant, the lava-like qi and blood in the body seemed to be stimulated and began to flow spontaneously, making a sound like a rushing river.
Zhang Xiu couldn't help but widen his eyes as he felt the ultimate deliciousness constantly stimulating his taste buds.
What the hell!
What on earth is this!
"How is it? It tastes good, right?" Chi Jiuyu said with a smile.
“It’s delicious, but this is…”
"This is a phoenix." said Zhang Yunlu.
She played the role of a supporting actor perfectly, helping Chi Jiuyu to show off.
As Jiuyu Quotations says, answering this kind of thing yourself and answering it with others will have completely different effects.
As expected, Zhang Xiu looked shocked: "Phoenix?!"
Not bad!
This is the effect you want!
Chi Jiuyu really wanted to say in a light tone, "Don't be so shocked, it's nothing."
But considering that this is Xiao Yunlu's brother, he finally held back and answered honestly:
"A senior gave it to me. Otherwise, I couldn't afford it."
Oh.
Chi Jiuyu's master is the Sword Master. According to a rumor that came from nowhere, she is also the Sword Master's favorite nephew...
It seems normal when you think about it this way.
It seemed perfectly reasonable for her to eat the Phoenix.
"I see, you are indeed my junior uncle."
Everyone carries the sedan chair of the flowery girl, and it won't hurt to say a few nice words to her. Besides, she is very good to her own sister.
“But this is too expensive.”
"It's okay. Xiao Yunlu is my junior sister. We are friends. Why are you being so polite?"
Zhang Xiu's reaction made Chi Jiuyu very satisfied, and he immediately became more serious:
"By the way, do you think there is anything that can be improved in the cafeteria of the Sword Sect compared to your Dragon Elephant Qingtian Sect?"
When Zhang Xiu was about to answer, she added: "Except for this phoenix."
"I plan to make some renovations to the Sword Sect's cafeteria while I'm serving as the Sect's leader, so I'd like to ask for your opinion."
Ok?
During the time he served as the leader of the Sword Sect?
Zhang Xiu: “…”
Can such words be said openly?
The current leader of the Sword Sect has only been in office for a few years, right?
He looked at his sister for help.
"Senior sister has always wanted to be the leader of the Sword Sect." Zhang Yunlu explained.
emm...
After all, this matter involved the sect leader, so it was difficult to talk about, and she never mentioned it to her brother.
"The cafeteria of the Dragon Elephant Qingtian Sect... I just joined the sect and I haven't paid much attention to it."
The Sword Sect Master...
It's better to be cautious.
The two siblings have the same thoughts.
Also huh...
Chi Jiuyu didn't think much about it.
Xiao Yunlu's brother has just joined the Longxiang Qingtian Sect, and he must be catching up on information related to physical cultivation, so he probably doesn't have much time.
Temporarily suppressed the urge to "show off in front of others".
Chi Jiuyu ordered a few side dishes and some freshly squeezed juice.
After a while, the dish became tasteless.
The three of them had almost finished eating all the phoenix meat.
The bones of the phoenix are also very valuable, so they are chewed and swallowed together with the meat and bones.
For physical cultivators, the effect of the phoenix meat is extremely good.
Zhang Xiu felt his blood boiling, as if there was a blazing furnace inside his body. He felt extremely refreshed, but he still glanced strangely to the right front.
I saw Chi Jiuyu leaning on the chair, crossing his legs, picking his teeth with a toothpick in his hand.
The youngest incarnation of the human race from ancient times to the present, the Sword Master’s personal disciple, actually has such a casual... character?
To be honest, apart from these two words, it was difficult for him to use other words to describe Chi Jiuyu at this moment.
Looking at Zhang Yunlu again, it was obvious that her sister had gotten used to it and was not moved at all.
"Senior Sister, I have accepted a mission."
"what?"
"It's in the star system next to the Yuling Star Hotel. Let's go and reclaim one of the planets. The cultivation records of cultivators under 25 years old will be enough."
Chi Jiuyu sat up and said, "You are not worried about the contribution points, are you? Don't worry, Master will reimburse you for all of them this time!"
Such a good opportunity, if she hadn't considered that this was a special fund for Xiao Yunlu, she would have wanted to make some money from it.
"I wasn't worried, I just wanted something to do."
"Okay, okay! It's not a big deal anyway."
It's just a matter of convenience anyway!
Throwing away the toothpick casually, he said, "By the way, have you replenished the energy of your starship? Have you installed all the auxiliary modules?"
"Well, it's all done."
Zhang Xiu, who was meditating and regulating his breathing and blood, suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Starship?"
"Didn't Xiao Yunlu tell you? To celebrate her promotion to the Golden Core, Master gave her a starship as a gift!"
Gave... a starship? (End of this chapter)
