Realms In The Firmament

[Besides, it is full of danger ahead of Ye Xiao. Han Bingxue might be able to deal with most of them…]

[Hmm… I just have to stay with him. Otherwise, I wouldn’t stop being worried…]

It was such a bad excuse she found for herself. Han Bingxue could definitely do more than just deal with most of the dangers. In fact, in this district, Han Bingxue could ignore all the possible dangers. Even Ye Xiao alone would barely encounter anything dangerous.

Ye Xiao was level seven of Dream Origin Stage. It was far more than enough to travel freely in this place.

Xuan Bing made a decision after all the thoughts…

…

Ye Xiao had kept the East-rising Purple Qi on operation all the time on the road. He was trying to sense the special spiritual qi in the air. He was enlightened at some point. This place was definitely not as simple as it showed. There must be something mystic behind the scene.

There was an obvious reason for such an idea. The spiritual qi in Oracle District was absorbable. It was just hard to catch because it was too energetic. It was complicated to digest the qi because it had to be conquered in some way. That was why it took much more hard works to absorb the energy.

If he could solve this problem, there would be much more spiritual qi for him to use than other places in the realm!

The spiritual qi in this place was of the best quality among all the other places he ever saw. If he could absorb the spiritual qi in this place without going through this complicated processes, he could get much better spiritual energy than most of the other places in this world!

It would be more powerful and useful.

That was why he had been trying to absorb the spiritual qi which was not easy to catch. However, what he had collected was merely better than nothing.

For example, if there were a hundred portions of spiritual qi somewhere else and Ye Xiao could absorb them all with one breath, and the spiritual qi from a further location would gather over to fill the gap he just had created... The same amount in the Oracle District was of higher quality, but he would fail to collect even one portion of it after a breath!

To collected it was not all. He would have to conquer the qi to digest it, make it a part of himself!

He started to try it since the night started to fall till it was late when the stars filled the dark sky, but he barely got anything. It was a waste of time.

In the moonlight, Xuan Bing walked to him and stayed about ten meters from him.

She had been staying ten meters away from him. They could hear each other so they could still talk, but Ye Xiao couldn’t get close to her.

”Miss Xuan, I have a question… that you may know the answer.” Ye Xiao thought for a while and frowned.

”That’s weird. I have a question for you too,” Xuan Bing said.

”Urh? Well, then please ask first!” Ye Xiao was surprised and he decided to listen to her first.

”Maybe it is better to let you ask first. There is a long time ahead. We don’t need to be like this.”

Xuan Bing stood under the moonlight, wearing all black, like a ghost in the moonlight.

”You are generous. I think I will just cut the chitchat. I remember that you have mentioned this once before. You said the energetic spiritual qi made the medicines better than many places. Is that correct?”

Ye Xiao was pondering about it.

”It is.” Xuan Bing said, ”I don’t know why, but the medicines in this place are with ten times efficacy than those from other places. Some are even better.”

”For example, the spiritual ginseng that is only a hundred years old is equally effective than those a thousand years old ginseng from other places. The Regeneration Ink Lotus in this place, which Misty Cloud Palace needs the most, is as good as Regeneration Jade Lotus.”

She blandly said, ”It stays like this since the ancient time. It is shocking, but nobody gets to know the reason for it.”

”Nobody? I don’t think so. I guess the main reason is the special spiritual qi,” Ye Xiao said.

”Of course. Many people have considered the spiritual qi.” Xuan Bing said, ”But even so, nobody truly understands the secret behind this strange spiritual qi.”

Ye Xiao nodded and was lost in thoughts.

”There was a time when many people believed there was some extremely valuable treasure in this place that caused the mystical spiritual qi. Countless superior cultivators came to this place and searched every bit of this district, but failed to find anything.”

”They not only wasted time here searching for years, but also lost the spiritual qi inside themselves because of the long stay in this special area. It only lasted for a few hundred years before everybody gave up on it.”

”Occasionally, some people would come again trying to figure out the truth. Most of them just found some valuable stuff and then left. After all, it was too risky to stay here for a long time. If anything went wrong, they might be weakened in cultivation or completely lose their future in the martial world.”

She slowly spoke.

Ye Xiao’s expression changed.

What Xuan Bing said was exactly his conjecture. However, he didn’t know that there were people who had realized it thousands of years before him. Many people had done it already. There were always wise people at any time.

The strange situation about the qi of this place had such a huge impact on cultivators. It could damage their cultivations, also ruin their martial world future. That was horrible!

”To be honest, I have the same thought.” Ye Xiao didn’t hide it. ”There is a balance for everything in the world. The spiritual qi could never become like this for nothing. There must be something behind this.”

Xuan Bing blandly said, ”There must be. But nobody found it. However, if you spend all your life in finding it, you may waste your life and find nothing. Are you sure you are better and smarter than everybody in the history?”

She was warning him that he might end up finding nothing. What he is planning might get him nothing at the end. Those were such sincere words.

Ye Xiao seriously said, ”Thanks. I appreciate it.”

Xuan Bing nodded and stared at his face. She spoke in a low voice, ”I have answered your question. Now, please answer mine, Brother Ye.”
