“Brother? Why do you look so troubled? Are you facing some troublesome issues?”
Carrying a food container, little sister arrived with the sunset, curious about Li Muyang sitting on the ridge in the field.
Due to three consecutive days without rain, all the rice seedlings in the field had withered.
But Li Muyang still had no intention of farming.
He sat under the old tree next to the ridge, deep in thought, as if pondering some serious matter.
This Li Muyang aroused the girl’s curiosity.
–Her brother was always carefree, and it was rare to see him thinking so seriously about something.
She wondered what was on his mind.
When Li Muyang saw his little sister approaching, he shook his head and said, “There’s nothing particularly bothersome.”
It’s just that the female lead in the game is too difficult to conquer.These past few days, he had been trying to strike up conversations with Dragon Deity Fairy, attempting to win her over or uncover hidden plotlines from her.
Unfortunately, his efforts were met with little success.
The Dragon Deity Fairy was cold and indifferent, seemingly unconcerned about everything in the world.
All of Li Muyang’s attempts at engaging her were met with her aloof responses.
Li Muyang felt she was a true embodiment of being heartless and emotionless.
Putting the game aside for a moment, Li Muyang looked at the dinner little sister brought today and was quite surprised.
“Is there an extra dish tonight?”
In addition to the usual one meat and two vegetable dishes, there was a small food container, which upon opening revealed a box of exquisite pastries.
In this world with low productivity, pastries and other delicate foods were definitely luxuries only the wealthy could enjoy.
Back in Jiuyuan City, his family had a bit of money, and they could occasionally enjoy some pastries.
However, the best pastries in Jiuyuan City couldn’t compare to the box of delicate osmanthus cakes before him.
Judging by the appearance, these osmanthus cakes were definitely luxury items and should not appear in the impoverished Outer Sect.
Li Muyang’s eyes showed surprise.
Li Yuechan giggled and said, “This is from Sister Ning. She returned to the Outer Sect today and chatted with me for a while.”
“The osmanthus cakes are from her, made with medium-grade spiritual rice. Not only are they delicious, but they also aid in cultivation.”
“Sister Ning is now a direct disciple and has taken Elder Yan Xiaoru as her master, receiving the cultivation techniques taught by Elder Yan. She eats medium-grade spiritual rice every day and has many spiritual medicines to assist in her cultivation.”
“Elder Yan even personally went down the mountain to find a suitable low-grade spiritual weapon for Sister Ning to protect herself.”
“When Sister Ning talked to me, she also mentioned you, saying she’ll come to see you again when she has the chance.”
Li Yuechan cheerfully relayed these words.
But Li Muyang was indifferent, showing no interest in his former goddess or her luxurious treatment.
“Direct disciples are indeed impressive,” Li Muyang nodded.
“Even pastries made from medium-grade spiritual rice can be given away casually.”
If this box of pastries were taken to Yunxiao City outside, it would definitely sell for a good price, yet Ning Wan’er could give it away so casually.
That little green tea has indeed soared to great heights.
Her becoming a direct disciple created a sad and thick barrier between her and the Li siblings, her fellow villagers.
Perhaps more than one layer.
However, none of this mattered to Li Muyang anymore.
He had the necessary resources for cultivation, and they were high-grade spiritual rice.
As for the top-notch cultivation techniques and powerful magical instruments that were extremely important in the cultivation world… Li Muyang also had them within reach.
If he chose to complete the game this time, one of the three rewards would be a top technique fragment and a low-grade spiritual weapon.
But Li Muyang wanted to achieve a perfect score, so he didn’t claim the reward.
He was curious, if an A-grade score gave a low-grade spiritual weapon… what would an S-grade score give?
Perhaps a medium-grade spiritual weapon?
After chatting with his little sister for a while, Li Muyang prepared to cook dinner and continued playing the game after eating.
However, before Li Yuechan left, she casually asked a question.
“…By the way, brother, do you know what the elders of the sect have been busy with lately? I see lights flying across the sky, they seem very busy.”
The girl was extremely curious as she watched her brother, observing Li Muyang’s reaction.
Li Muyang shook his head. He really didn’t know about this.
“Do you have some inside information?” Li Muyang curiously looked at his little sister, wondering why she suddenly brought this up.
Was it an illusion? He always felt that the girl was probing him.
Uh… it must be an illusion, right?
Why would she probe me, an outer disciple?
As an ‘Outer Sect Spiritual Planter’ at the ‘Qi Refining Realm Third Layer’, I couldn’t possibly know the secrets of the Inner Sect, right?
Probably this girl heard some insider news from Ning Wan’er and came to show off.
Sure enough, little sister stuck out her tongue and said, “I heard from Sister Ning that there seems to be some disturbance in the Sea of Mist. It’s not just our sect that’s been alerted. It seems that the major sects of both the demonic and immortal paths are also making moves.”
Li Yuechan exaggeratedly shared this news with Li Muyang.
Li Muyang blinked in confusion: “The Sea of Mist?”
He searched his memory… The brain of the original owner, a country bumpkin, didn’t know what the Sea of Mist was.
Seeing Li Muyang’s confusion, Li Yuechan explained: “It’s the sea!”
“To the east of our land, the boundless sea is always shrouded in white mist. That Sea of Mist is said to devour cultivators. The stronger the cultivator who enters, the more likely they are to get lost.”
“It’s said to be the edge of the world, where one would be crushed upon entering!”
“There are also legends that say there’s a terrifyingly huge beast in the sea, named Shen, and the mist above the sea is exhaled by Shen, specifically to confuse cultivators who enter the mist.”
“Some people say that there are immortal mountains and islands floating on the sea, the abode of the legendary heavens, and beyond the mist are true immortals. If one cultivates to a realm above the first grade and ascends, they can cross the Sea of Mist and join the ranks of immortals!”
Li Yuechan vividly described those ancient and strange legends.
Li Muyang was surprised, hearing for the first time that the sea of this world was covered with endless mist.
And this misty world was inaccessible, else one would be devoured…
“So no one knows what lies beyond the sea?” Li Muyang asked.
If the sea was always shrouded in fog and cultivators couldn’t enter, it would indeed be difficult for ordinary people to explore the world beyond the mist.
If the seas of Earth were also covered in mist, there would be no Columbus or New World, and the scalps of Native Americans would be safe.
Tsk…
Having learned a new piece of knowledge about this world from his little sister, Li Muyang expanded his horizons, but he didn’t pay too much attention to it.
After all, what lies beyond the mist has nothing to do with him.
He was just a small shrimp in the Qi Refining Realm. How could he have the leisure to care about the world’s affairs?
Better to focus on playing the game.
After seeing off his little sister and having dinner, Li Muyang, as usual, sat down to meditate and refine the spiritual energy within his body before entering the game.
In the endlessly foggy Luoyang City, the atmosphere was eerily cold.
Ghosts drifted through the city, and the omnipresent white fog made it even more chilling.
Fortunately, there was a beauty by his side to please the eye.
The stunning Dragon Deity Fairy seldom spoke, but her mere presence was the most dazzling scenery in the midst of the fog.
