4-Travel with a Companion

"I apologize to you on their behalf."

Ye Fufeng's face was very pale.

"Our Taiyi Palace is not the kind of sect with bad traditions."

Ye Fufeng couldn't help coughing, which aroused the injuries in his body. He couldn't stop coughing, and the scarlet color between his fingers could be seen faintly.

"I know." At least Ye Fufeng is normal, except that he is a little stupid...

Si Qingyan would not generalize.

"I'm sorry." Ye Fufeng apologized again.

"It doesn't matter. Before leaving here, I have another place to go. Please come with me, fellow Daoist Ye."

Si Qingyan followed the route in her memory and walked towards the Soul Devouring Forest.

Ye Fufeng's face became worse and worse.

Will fellow Daoist Si feed him to the Soul Devouring Forest?

"The Soul Devouring Forest has killed many innocent creatures. I plan to go there to enforce justice."

Ye Fufeng forced himself to remain calm and nodded slightly.

That place really left a deep psychological shadow on him.

"By the way, why did you say that the identity of the demon race cannot be exposed?" Si Qingyan asked in turn.

"The demon pills of the demon race can help the human race improve their cultivation."

"Some people have bad intentions and will attack the demon race."

In the vast world of cultivation, there are many such people.

Although Ye Fufeng thinks this behavior is very bad, he can't do anything about it.

No one can force their ideas on others. If he has a high level of cultivation, he can implement his ideas everywhere.

If that time really comes, he will also ascend.

"There are many Yuanying-stage cultivators in the demon race, and cultivators will not be too reckless on the surface."

"Of course, the demon race has also attacked the human race. Whether it is a human or a demon, you must be cautious when you go out."

Ye Fufeng, a young genius of Taiyi Palace who was badly cheated, used his personal experience to prove the consequences of being careless when going out.

Vines, electric shocks, being cheated... came one after another.

"I know, I will be careful next time."

At this time, the mark on Si Qingyan's forehead had disappeared.

There was no demonic aura around him, and his behavior and speech were very normal. He looked no different from a human cultivator.

The two touched the Soul Devouring Forest and smiled knowingly.

The Soul Devouring Tree was very weak during the day, and without the protection of the Jade Vine, it was almost completely exposed to the eyes of the cultivators.

Because this place is too remote, not many cultivators have discovered it.

Yi Huan was able to discover it for a special reason.

"You... you have transformed?" The Soul Devouring Tree Spirit was very surprised to sense the familiar breath from Si Qingyan.

"Yes." Si Qingyan said in a flat tone.

"How is it possible... You are so poisonous! You actually hid so deep!"

The Soul Devouring Tree Spirit was particularly surprised... How could the Jade Vine, which had been kept in captivity for so long, transform so easily!

"Be good and don't move."

The original body had lived with the Soul Devouring Tree for a thousand years, and Si Qingyan was particularly familiar with where the Soul Devouring Tree hid things.

He walked straight to the thickest tree, ignoring the screams of the Soul Devouring Tree, and took out a large number of things from the cultivators from it. Although the pills were eaten by the Soul Devouring Tree, the skills, jade slips, magic tools and other items were still there.

"Ahhhh you can't do this!"

"No, this is really not okay!"

"Don't touch my body!"

"I've been saving it for years..."

"Ahhhhhhh..."

At Si Qingyan's insistence, he and Ye Fufeng split it 80-20, he 80%, Ye Fufeng 20%.

The Soul Devouring Tree cried even harder.

However, it was suppressed so much during the day that its cries did not affect Si Qingyan at all.

"You are a devil... a devil... you were tricked away by someone else... you don't want me anymore..."

Before leaving, Si Qingyan also set up a concealment formation outside the Soul Devouring Tree. As a price, Si Qingyan took away one-third of the Soul Devouring Tree Spirit's tree heart, as well as a large section of branches and trunks.

Facing the Soul Devouring Tree, which was not very intelligent, Si Qingyan coaxed a child and said:

"You also saw me passing the tribulation the day before yesterday. The thunder was so fierce that ordinary demons could not bear it at all. If you commit murder again, you may be punished by heaven before you transform into a human form, and you will be smashed into dregs."

"It's not that I don't allow you to eat, but I want you to eat the bad ones."

"For example, if you eat some of the most heinous monks from the Demon Sect, you should be able to accumulate some merits."

Under Si Qingyan's guidance, the Soul Devouring Tree Spirit kept nodding, indicating that he understood. Although the Soul Devouring Tree felt pained after all its property was emptied, it felt that it was worth it.

The Jade Vine is actually not bad...

I should have treated it better earlier...I feel so sad when I think of the treasures it has worked so hard to save for many years, which were robbed of nothing, and even part of its body was taken away by the Jade Vine.

The Jade Vine looks so beautiful after it transforms...

When can it transform...I must take back my treasures by then! And it must be more powerful than the Jade Vine! Better looking! Then snatch him back from the human cultivator!

………………

Ye Fufeng, who had a little savings again, used the jade slip to copy the common sense of the cultivation world and passed it to Si Qingyan.

"Friend Si, if you don't understand anything, just ask me."

Si Qingyan nodded, grabbed a flying monster and let it serve as a mount for a short time.

After leaving this place, Si Qingyan injected a rich spiritual energy into the monster's body and let it go back.

"I see that this place is no different from the outside world, why is it called a forbidden area?"

After leaving the vast jungle, Si Qingyan and Ye Fufeng sat lazily in the mortal carriage, relaxed and comfortable.

"It is an ancient battlefield with a strong evil spirit. It is easy to be possessed by demons if you stay there for a long time. But the forbidden area is full of natural treasures, ancient secrets and inheritances, and is an excellent place for training."

"Whether it is a Taoist or a demonic cultivator, they will not enter without the ability to protect themselves."

"It is very dangerous to allow cultivators to kill each other in the forbidden area."

Ye Fufeng tried to make Si Qingyan aware of the dangers of the forbidden area.

The Jindan stage is not considered a strong person. If you encounter a demon cultivator in the Yuanying stage or the Huashen stage in it, you will be completely defeated without a powerful way to save your life.

Si Qingyan nodded and thought to herself that if she had the chance, she would go there a few more times to see if she could find something interesting.

"Do you want to go back to Taiyi Palace directly, or walk slowly?"

Since Ye Fufeng did not meet up with his fellow uncle and beautiful sister, Si Qingyan planned to send Ye Fufeng back to the sect directly.

"There is no hurry to go back now."

Ye Fufeng had a headache when he thought of Taiyi Palace.

In many places in Taiyi Palace, he had taught Lingyue how to practice sword.

He helped and hugged her when she sprained her foot and fell.

Although he had to do it, Ye Fufeng was shaken.

When he thought of every little thing with Lingyue, his heart felt like a blunt knife was stabbing back and forth.

Love is a light that makes you panic.

"In this case, please ask Fellow Daoist Ye to travel with me in the human world."

Si Qingyan lifted the bamboo curtain beside the carriage and let the slightly cold wind pour in.

"I dare not obey you."

Ye Fufeng smiled with relief.

Outside the forbidden area is a large mortal kingdom, among which there are also cities of cultivators.

In order to avoid people who know Ye Fufeng, the two chose to hide their cultivation and play in the mortal kingdom.

Although they belong to the Minglan Realm, each country has different customs and practices. Whenever they arrive in a new country, they will stay for a few days and go to those beautiful places to enjoy.

This time, I caught up with the once-in-a-century ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky in Xize Country, and stayed for a few more days.

Xize Country is a country dominated by women, and the monarch and ministers are all women. They worship the goddess Sang Li, and hold a sacrifice every hundred years. At that time, they will choose the most perfect woman to offer gifts to the gods.

Si Qingyan and Ye Fufeng have no interest in the most perfect woman. They just want to watch the ceremony and steps of offering sacrifices to the sky, and by the way, study what the so-called goddess Sang Li is.

Xize Country does not have the power of cultivators, but it can be said to be a strong country in the mortal kingdom. Every time the major sects recruit disciples, they will accept some female disciples from Xize Country.

Lingyue is also a native of Xize.

Female disciples who leave Xize Country are not allowed to return to their country for life. If they insist on returning to their country, they will not be allowed to leave for life.

In short, Xize Country has many strange rules, which are very mysterious to outsiders.

Xize Country has never accepted foreign men. Even male cultivators can be detected at the city gate and then sent out by the Xize Army.

In the area ruled by the Taoist sect, cultivators are not allowed to harm innocent mortals. Those who violate the rules will be investigated by the Taoist law enforcers. No one wants their name to be listed on the jade slips of time and news that are used throughout the cultivation world, and they are also captured by law enforcers and imprisoned for decades.

Such strange rules of Xize country naturally attracted everyone's attention, but after sending many female cultivators over, no abnormalities were found, and many forces in Minglan world gradually got used to the existence of Xize country.

Si Qingyan and Ye Fufeng both wore women's clothes to get in. Strictly speaking, there is no difference. Anyway, loose clothes can be worn by both men and women. Changing hair accessories and slightly modifying facial features can achieve a feminine effect.

Women in Xize country have a high status and strict class. The color of clothes they usually wear is strictly regulated. Now it is the time of offering sacrifices to the sky, which is a once-in-a-century festive event. Foreigners and local personnel can wear any color of clothes.

When entering the city gate, Si Qingyan pulled Ye Fufeng, otherwise he would be exposed.

As a demon with plant attributes, gender is inherently ambiguous. Although Si Qingyan is transformed into a male image, she is still asexual in essence. Ye Fufeng has been with Si Qingyan for a long time, and because of the strange connection between the ice and fire springs, with Si Qingyan's help, it is not a problem to get through the inspection at the city gate.

The two bought a small courtyard, and usually meditate and practice in the courtyard when they are not going out. Although Ye Fufeng's injuries have not healed and he cannot practice for the time being, he can sit in a daze, practice calligraphy, play chess, calligraphy and painting, and female red woodworking.

Ye Fufeng rarely came into contact with these things before. Although he was a kendo genius, his handwriting was sharp and piercing, without any aesthetic feeling. Now he was forced by Si Qingyan to practice round and neat fonts.

At first, Ye Fufeng would pierce the thick rice paper, but now he writes softly, and the font is both hard and soft, which has reached a higher level.

"I feel that I have made some breakthroughs in the swordsmanship."

"Congratulations." Si Qingyan was studying the jade talismans used by cultivators.

There is a special force among cultivators - Tianji Pavilion.

Tianji Pavilion will release the Minglan Realm News every half a month, which will extract some new secret realms, or certain auctions, or some interesting news.

The news is sold in the form of jade slips, and the production process is very convenient, and any cultivator can do it.

The precious thing is that most of the things mentioned in the news jade slips are true. As long as you are not a bumpkin cultivator in the mountain valley, you will buy some news jade slips regularly to avoid missing the opportunity.

It seems that there is nothing in the entire Minglan Realm that Tianji Pavilion does not know.

Si Qingyan thought of the apps such as Tieba, forums, and spaces that everyone played in the previous world. It would be very interesting if social networks could be brought to Minglan Realm. The rules involved were even difficult for Si Qingyan to understand.

But it shouldn't be a problem to have a public forum.

Si Qingyan briefly told Ye Fufeng about what he was researching. Ye Fufeng was confused by the profound principles of refining equipment. Looking at Si Qingyan again, he felt that he was in awe.

Fellow Daoist Si is really amazing...

In contrast, Ye Fufeng felt that his insignificant achievements in swordsmanship were not worth mentioning.

This was the first time he encountered such a situation.

In the past, he was a benchmark figure in Taiyi Palace. Once he made a slight breakthrough, the elders of the sect would give him gifts. The brothers in the sect would also congratulate him, praise him, and flatter him.

Although Ye Fufeng didn't like such behavior, it was undeniable that he was indeed affected.

He habitually positioned himself as a genius in swordsmanship.

Gradually stepping into the narrow path.

No wonder the master asked him to go out for training...

Compared to Fellow Daoist Si, he is indeed far inferior.

Because Fellow Daoist Si is not only ingenious in refining weapons, but also unrivaled in the realm of swordsmanship.

The sword that Si Qingyan slashed in front of Xiao Yan that day was repeatedly recalled and chewed by Ye Fufeng. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Si Qingyan was gifted and pure.

Even though he encountered many bad things after coming out, which was suffocating, but when he thought of meeting an outstanding person like Fellow Daoist Si, Ye Fufeng felt as if a breeze was blowing through his heart, and everything suddenly became clear.
