Chapter 603: Feeling
Half an hour later, the two looked at each other.
Although they left the main hall, they used their spiritual sense to eavesdrop.
As a result, they discovered a major thing.
"What do you think?" Jiang Yue asked, his eyebrows creased in a frown.
"It’s a problem." Yu Nianzhen said with a solemn expression.
From what they overheard; strange disappearances were happening all over the Cangxing world.
However, these disappearances were unlike those associated with the Death Flower Ascension Front, thousands of years ago.
"This time, everyone in a small town has disappeared." Jiang Yue said and Yu Nianzhen nodded.
"It could be related to evil cultivators. They may be conducting rituals in villages and small towns."
"Evil cultivators..." Jiang Yue frowned.
Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue first encountered evil cultivators in the Thousand Herbs Garden.
Since then, the two gained a profound aversion to evil cultivation.
"Azhen, should we do something?" Jiang Yue asked in a hesitant voice.
"Do you want to do something?"
Hearing the question, Jiang Yue didn’t answer right away.
Instead, he took some time to think about it.
After an incense stick, the person sighed and spoke.
"We can take action if we coincidentally encounter the culprits. Otherwise..., leave the matter to the sects and big families of the Cangxing world. What do you think?"
"I will follow your decision." Yu Nianzhen smiled, rubbing his lover’s hair.
"We can also take action if the culprit is an immortal realm cultivator."
"Good."
After that, the two stopped eavesdropping and continued to walk around the Cangxing sect.
Compared to the Sea Cloud sect, the Cangxing sect was bigger.
There were many training places including a gravity mountain, a monster forest, and medicinal pools.
Unfortunately, these opportunities were only suitable for lower-realm cultivators.
"I wonder where the recipes for so many medicinal pools came from?" Jiang Yue said while staring at the pools.
"Body training pools, marrow washing pools, advancement pools, mind cleansing pools..."
"The recipes should have been found in an ancient ruin or secret realm." Yu Nianzhen said and continued.
"We should let our people become cultivators as soon as possible."
"Are you thinking of sending people to secret realms?"
"It’s necessary." Yu Nianzhen said and Jiang Yue nodded.
"We cannot raise greenhouse flowers." He said.
"Mmmm." Yu Nianzhen agreed.
Unless they planned to keep everyone in the Zhenyue Archipelago for the rest of their lives, they couldn’t allow their people to develop ignorantly.
Like other cultivators in the Cangxing world, their people needed to experience strife.
Although some would suffer or die in the process, the survivors would not be weak.
After leaving the medicinal pools, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue went to the sect market.
This market included street stalls, shops, and restaurants.
"What a lively place." Jiang Yue commented.
"The Cangxing sect is the biggest in the Cangxing world. It’s natural to have many people."
"I am more surprised it has thirty mountain peak elders." Jiang Yue said.
As Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue walked around, they also gathered news.
From what they learned, the Cangxing sect had thirty mountain masters.
The first through the eighth elders were nascent soul realm cultivators and the ninth through thirtieth were peak-level core formation realm cultivators.
"There is a pact prohibiting late and peak stage nascent soul realm cultivators from staying in the Cangxing world. This lessens the number of nascent souls in the world also lessening internal strife. However, this also means there aren’t enough nascent souls to take up all the elder places." Yu Nianzhen explained and Jiang Yue nodded.
"Allowing core formation realm cultivators is also a good thing. It trains them and facilitates continuity when the nascent souls go the Reincarnation world."
"Mmmm." Yu Nianzhen nodded.
After that, the two entered a restaurant and booked a private box.
While waiting for their order to arrive, Jiang Yue suddenly raised his eyebrow in question.
"What’s the matter?" Yu Nianzhen asked.
However, Jiang Yue didn’t answer.
Instead, he pointed to the left wall.
Seeing this, Yu Nianzhen used his spiritual sense to eavesdrop on the adjoining private room.
"What a pity." Someone was saying.
"It’s really a pity." A female cultivator agreed.
"Fang Ye is only twenty but already a level four alchemist. He is a rare alchemy genius. Unfortunately..." Someone sighed.
"Such heaven-defying geniuses rarely live a long life. This is his fate."
"There is still a chance."
"What chance?" Someone snorted.
"It’s been three months since Alchemy City offered a reward for the soul-cleansing grass. However, not a single stalk has been found."
"Even if the soul-cleansing grass is found, can anyone refine the soul-cleansing pill?"
"Since city Lord Fang offered a reward, he should be confident."
"The soul-cleansing grass is not the only problem." Someone suddenly said.
"What do you mean?"
"Do you think the accident makes sense?"
"Now that you mention it..."
"The eighth young master Fang went training with a group of brothers and sisters. However, only he was poisoned when they encountered disciples of the Five Poisons sect."
"Not to mention, the disciples of the Five Poisons sect just happened to have the soul-devouring poison."
"The soul devouring poison is an extremely rare and precious poison. How is it possible that a group of random disciples were carrying it in their space rings?"
"Exactly! There are too many inexplicable and unlikely coincidences."
"Are you saying..."
"This matter is not simple."
"Any cultivator who accepts this task will become the target of the Five Poisons sect and other members of the Fang family."
Hearing this, Jiang Yue smiled and looked at Yu Nianzhen.
"Don’t we have the soul-cleansing grass?" He asked.
In the Reincarnation World, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue once found a secret herb garden in the Boundary Mountain range.
At that time, they replanted many spirit grasses and the soul-cleansing grass was among the many.
"You also think we should save this person?" Yu Nianzhen asked.
"You too?"
"I have a feeling we shouldn’t let the child die."
"It’s decided then. Our next stop is Alchemy City." Jiang Yue said.
