………
This group of female cultivators was also extrely bored, not like the n who had countless grand affairs and disputes of the Jianghu and the Continent to discuss.
Most of their daily lives were within small circles, and being cultivators, even fewer matters of greeting and sending-off arose, so they clung to every novelty that ca their way.
What a coincidence it was that this dragon among n just happened to pass by in front of them.
The older sister was really quite outspoken as she called out in a sweet voice,
“Daoist, please halt!
Forgive the intrusion, but might I inquire if you hail from the Southeast?”
The man hesitated, stopping in his tracks, puzzled as to why this group of female cultivators would all address him, but as soone of dignified bearing and proper etiquette, he did not show impatience due to the suddenness of the event,
“I am Guan Ruyu from Wei Liao Country of the Southeast, who happened to pass by the Mirage; I was taken by the magnificent seascape and the charming figures, which make one linger and forget to return.
It is fortuitous that I have been invited by the host and that I arrived at just the right mont… May I ask what the fair lady has to advise on?”
The sisters burst into a fit of giggles, and the older sister continued, “So it turns out you are from Wei Liao of the Southeast.
I’ve heard that the cultivators from Wei Liao are unmatched in their etiquette and peerless in beauty.
Seeing you today, it seems the reputation is indeed well-deserved.
Since you are traveling alone, I imagine you don’t have many friends here?
It happens that we were just discussing the Southeast and had so disagreents.
If it’s convenient for you, Daoist, we would be grateful for your guidance.”
In the Jinxiu Continent, from any perspective, the Southeast region is unique.
It has the strongest Daoist Sects, dozens of countries, distinguished figures, and a long history.
To speak boldly, it is the most prosperous place in the Cultivation World of the Continent, without equal.
Apart from the four great Daoist Sects Qi, Chu, Zhou, and Guo in the Southeast region, there are also dozens of smaller nations and Daoist lines.
Although limited in scale, they each have their own characteristics.
Wei Liao Country is one among them but is famous not for its strength, but because its cultivators are all exceptionally handso, comparable to gods and immortals in paintings.
The only one comparable to Wei Liao in this respect is Sangmo Country of the Southeast, which cultivates Harmony Dao.
They also have people who are painted beautifully; however, Sangmo is famous for its female cultivators, like Dong Fangfei who Hou Niao t during the debate in the Southwest.
In the Jinxiu Cultivation World, there are hundreds of Daoist lines, and many are naless and inconspicuous.
Apart from those sects whose strength is known throughout the Continent and command respect, there are also so peculiar rankings based purely on distinct features, such as the Taihao known for Divination, the Heavenly Heart Pavilion known as the jack-of-all-trades of the Continent, and the peculiar islands at sea, among others.
Wei Liao and Sangmo belong to those distinguishing lines on the Continent, famous not for their cultivation prowess, but for their extraordinary looks.
Just as every male cultivator wishes to befriend soone from Sangmo Country, many female cultivators hope to have a Wei Liao brother; both are the sa in essence.
In the Cultivation World, gender equality exists, and such relationships are not considered to upset the natural order.
Guan Ruyu was slightly taken aback, but he soon understood the intent of these female cultivators.
Just as a beauty grows accustod to attention from strangers, a man as handso as he was used to such overtures and found nothing unusual about it.
After all, since he had no particular plans, nor did he recognize any acquaintances here, why not spend ti with those who admired him rather than just stand by as a spectator?
With this in mind, they naturally struck up a conversation.
The more they talked, the more they hit it off.
The sisters found that Guan Ruyu was not only handso but also had depth and substance; he was humorous and knowledgeable, with insightful views on everything from historical anecdotes to the extraordinary tales of Jianghu, speaking confidently and effortlessly.
Especially with his gentle and modest deanor, initially, only the two sisters were infatuated with speaking to him, but as the conversation progressed, several more female cultivators joined in, making the discourse lively.
However, so were indifferent, such as Bai Qingqian and Xiangfei Bamboo, who were quietly discussing sothing else,
Xiangfei Bamboo, “Qing sister, has there been any news from Brother Hou recently?”
Bai Qingqian, with a helpless frown, said, “Half a year ago, there was news, but it was vague.
It seed he had many matters to attend to… You know how he is, unable to sit still, always attracting cats and toying with dogs; wherever he goes, trouble follows… What’s the matter, Bamboo sister, do you need sothing?”
Xiangfei Bamboo replied with a faint smile, “My cultivation hasn’t been progressing smoothly recently, so I thought of going out to explore the world; the inheritance on Bamboo Island is sowhat confining.
I fear it would hinder my path forward without contact with the Great Dao Sects.
So, I’m considering traveling to the Southeast…”
Bai Qingqian nodded in understanding.
Although both were cultivators, their paths were not the sa; she followed a pure foundational route, not seeking a lofty future, but longevity and extended life, a common disposition among rchant families.
Despite so changes over the years, the foundation remained the sa.
Xiangfei Bamboo, on the other hand, was a genuine cultivator who devoted everything to cultivation, with Dao as her lifelong pursuit, ambitious and persistent; thus, she planned to enrich herself by witnessing the Great Dao Sects.
“Have you decided where to go?
With your realm, Bamboo sister, I would think no place would refuse you.
There are so few in the Tongtian three realms who have reached the Natural Realm; which sects would not be welcoming?”
Xiangfei Bamboo sighed, “I don’t want to join a particular sect; I wish to be just a guest elder, so they might not be willing…
I was thinking, since Brother Hou has a wide network and many connections, could he recomnd a place where I can seek the Dao without joining a sect?”
Not joining a sect, aning not wishing to take on responsibilities, not willing to fully commit, and being able to leave at a mont’s notice if desired.
Finding a suitable place with such an intention is difficult; which sect would genuinely want to assist such a so-called guest elder?
Sighing, she said, “If that’s the case, your requirents indeed are not low, Bamboo sister.
I’ll ntion it to Brother Hou when I write back in a few days.
But I can’t guarantee anything.
You know how many more enemies than friends he has, especially among the Daoist Sects… so even I can’t promise anything.
Anhe Daoist is now in a state of turmoil and not a good place for cultivation.”
Speaking softly, both knew that asking him was a long shot, reliant on luck; however, if it were a matter of asking him to kill soone or pull off a job, that would be much simpler.
Perhaps it wouldn’t even require his presence; among those present, there were many who would dare draw the sword and fight for him.
That was also why Bai Qingqian tried to keep a low profile as much as possible.
She feared that even if she did not wish for trouble, she would still attract a bunch of troublemakers with a penchant for chaos.
Now on the Lizhi Sea, the balance of power was becoming clearer.
The Cang Pirates were growing stronger, and Fang Yazi, the disciple of the Daoist Sect, held the sa sway here as the Sea Emperor himself, moving freely and killing at will.
It was unclear how such a previously decent child had beco what he was now.
Fang Yazi did not attend this grand gathering, but among the attendees were quite a few Sword Cultivators, many of whom seed to have once traded stolen goods through Bai Qingqian’s connections…
A mix of dragons and snakes.
