Chapter 1029: Chapter 309: The Outbreak of War! Entering Medicine Master Valley!
So is this the meaning? These powerful figures don’t help, instead they aim their spears at poor Yuchi, who still needs to figure out how to rescue his junior sister, and is still concerned about Xuexiang’s situation. How many people are even in Ascension Gate?
The sect’s powerhouse is Zong Qianqun, though she’s a Cultivator at Spirit Storage Stage level one, but is the Spirit Storage Stage really that strong? She’s definitely just a small fry. Honestly, when it comes to the wars in the Sixth State, Zong Qianqun is no different from Yuchi at the Golden Core Stage; neither of them can sway the course of the war.
And wars between Cultivators are essentially simple, like those in the previous life.
It’s all about the cutting-edge weapons and Cultivators, everything else is just the icing on the cake, not essential at all.
Then what about Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators? What about those above Nascent Soul Stage, the Divinity Transformation Cultivators? And those wise old Enlightenment guru dogs? Where have these people gone?
"There’s no way the fish have gone extinct and it’s blamed on the poor fisherman with just one rod, right?"
As the eccentric slowly nodded in thought, Yuchi had spelled it all out and finally said, "So, you told me this news, which I’m really moved by, but I feel as a plain Cultivator, I can’t really contribute anything."
"Of course, if you want me to wear women’s clothes and cheer, I’m up for it."
"And I am quite confident in my aesthetics!"
The eccentric: "..."
Yin Shuang: "..."
She bit Yuchi’s finger, the one he was rubbing his silver hair with, and as Yuchi’s eyes widened with surprise, she was very dissatisfied.
You didn’t get the money, won’t play cards with me, won’t give me the elixir, and you plan to go out in women’s clothes behind my back, you lazy fish!
...
One incense stick’s time later, the eccentric left the room, residing in the adjacent room separated by only a wall, waiting to see if they could enter Medicine Master Valley in three days.
Meanwhile, Yuchi was playing cards with Yin Shuang, just regular playing cards from his previous life. Seeing the little one’s furrowed brow, Yuchi outwardly showed no interest in the war in the Sixth State, but inwardly he had to plan carefully, knowing how he would respond.
"Well, given the current situation, if I want to escape such matters unscathed, my cultivation must be very strong. But it’s unclear when the flames of war in the Sixth State will spread to the Fifth State."
"From the pace of the war, this is the first phase, which is just chaos in the Sixth State. Once this phase passes, it will be the second phase."
"The second phase is when the Fifth State starts getting engulfed by flames too."
"The third phase, basically all the large states except the First State, will be caught in the war flames."
"The final phase, it’s pure madness, unless five or six out of ten Cultivators perish, there’s no escaping the disaster."
These stages are just stages like that, but the timing is uncertain, just like fighting a boss monster in a game, where the speed of entering the next stage usually links to the monster’s health, and the speed of health depletion relies on the player’s output.
I don’t know how the Sixth State’s Cultivators are faring in terms of output, whether the first phase can be over within ten or twenty years.
But when the flames reach the Third State, Xufu Town should be able to rise up; it can provide a refuge-like Xufu Town by then. This requires Ascension Gate to be much stronger than it is now; Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators might barely suffice, perhaps needing Divinity Transformation Cultivators to hold the fort, or else Xufu Town won’t escape the disaster.
"Still need to make more money."
"Still need to recruit more disciples."
"Still need to accelerate the unification of Xufu Town, not just for the Jiangnan Central Plains, but to provide a relatively peaceful abode during chaotic times."
"This is critical."
Now in Ascension Gate, Spiritual Qi is already very abundant, not to mention the unlimited supply of elixirs, hence while Yuchi is running all over the place, his cultivation has progressed from Golden Core Stage five levels to Golden Core Stage six levels, already widening the gap with Miss Yuluo.
Originally, this was quite joyous, after all, Golden Core Stage level six! Yuchi still remembers his first encounter with Yuluo, back then she seemed like a divine existence, but later, the number of big shots kept increasing, increasing, not because he was too weak, but because others were too old.
Yuluo over here is already over a thousand years old, while Zong Qianqun is about two thousand. Not to mention someone like Yuan Xuan, a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, probably can’t suppress his age below five thousand.
And me?
"I’m forever eighteen," Yuchi thought with a blush.
Yin Shuang finally played her two cards.
A pair of threes!
She meekly placed the pair atop the pile, avoiding eye contact with Yuchi, who only had two cards left while she held three, a pair of threes and a four, and could only hope now.
Yuchi: "..."
In Yin Shuang’s gradual breakdown, he played his pair of fours on top, followed by the sound of Yin Shuang’s tearful crying filling the room.
