Meeting Hong Qing Again
After being inspected by Jingguang, Yang Tianyou and his companion successfully entered Cloudglow City.
As far as the eye can see, crowds flow like a river, and the various buildings lining both sides are dazzling, exuding the atmosphere of the mortal world.
In a daze, Yang Tianyou seemed to feel an invisible shackle slowly being placed on his head, and the Spiritual Power in his body gradually became tainted.
"Is this what they mean by Mortal World Bewilderment?" Yang Tianyou paid no attention to this change, but instead studied it with great interest as he walked.
From the perspective of Cultivators, the mortal world is like a flower garden, with a dazzling array of flowers that can dazzle the eye. For Cultivator live in the mortal world for a long time, their own Dao Path immortality will gradually become shrouded in dust.
Of course, if your temperament and cultivation are strong enough to allow you to engage with the world while remaining detached from it, you can also reap great benefits; this is known as "Mortal World Heart Tempering."
The Mortal World Bewilderment, Mortal World Heart Tempering; a difference of one word, yet a world of difference.
After studying it for a while, Yang Tianyou had a sudden thought, and with a surge of Blade Intent, he instantly annihilated all the mortal turbidity within his body.
"Fifteenth Brother, the Mortal World Qi in Cloudglow City is too heavy. Let's not stay here too long and get to the central area as soon as possible."
Yang Tianyou offered a reminder. He was naturally not afraid of the turbid atmosphere of the mortal world; the Great White Blade Intent was enough to annihilate these auras. However, Yang Tianwang was different. If Qi Refining cultivator stayed here for too long, it would still have some impact.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Yang Tianwang replied without hesitation.
The two quickened their pace, crossing more than a dozen streets before arriving at the city center.
The central area of each city is a gathering place for Cultivators. Special Formations are set up here, so they are not affected by the turbid atmosphere of the mortal world.
Upon entering the central area, a scene completely different from what had come before came into view.
If the outer city is bustling with activity, filled with the mundane details of daily life...
The central area is a place of ease, leisure, and tranquility.
Of course, in essence, there seems to be little difference between Cultivators and Mortals; the only difference is the strength of their power.
After all, both are forms of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, encompassing worry, anxiety, and fear.
In fact, if it really involves Dao Paths and interests, Cultivators are far more ruthless and cunning than Mortals.
Without hesitation, Yang Tianyou quickly found an exquisite attic building by following the address given by his uncle Yang Qiongye.
Refusing the waiter's offer to lead them, the two went straight to a room deep inside the second floor.
A light knock on the door produced a rhythmic sound, seemingly carrying some kind of message.
A moment later, the door opened, and an unfamiliar figure came into view.
"Come in!" That was the voice of Uncle Twelve Yang Qiongchuan.
Upon entering, Yang Qiongye, disguised as a slightly overweight old man, was sitting at the table, chatting and laughing with a young man of about thirty years old with a handsome and dashing appearance.
Upon seeing Yang Tianyou, Hong Qing was taken aback, but a sense of familiarity made him quickly recognize Yang Tianyou.
With an excited expression, Hong Qing quickly stood up, bowed deeply, and said, "Hong Qing greets his benefactor."
"Haha, Brother Hong, please don't call me your benefactor anymore. You've done my Yang Household a great favor this time, so we've evened things out. You don't owe me anything." Yang Tianyou laughed heartily and waved his hand.
Seeing that Hong Qing wanted to say more, Yang Tianyou added, "How about we address each other as brothers from now on?"
Upon hearing this, Hong Qing said nothing more, but bowed again, "In that case, Hong Qing greets Brother Yang."
"Tianyou, you chat with Senior Hong, Qiong Chuan and I will go for a walk outside." Yang Qiongye smiled slightly, stood up, and led Yang Qiongchuan out of the room.
"I haven't yet congratulated Brother Hong on breaking through to the Foundation Establishment. It's truly a cause for celebration!"
"Brother Yang, you flatter me. If it weren't for your guidance on the Spirit-Transforming Inducement and your help in acquiring a large number of Spirit Items, I wouldn't have been able to rise to prominence so quickly. Let alone Foundation Establishment, I might not even have survived the Cold Tide."
Hong Qing sighed deeply, always believing that meeting Yang Tianyou was the biggest turning point in his life.
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Brother Hong, how's that matter going?" Yang Tianyou asked.
Hong Qing smiled confidently, "I will certainly not disappoint Brother Yang. Three hours later, you will come directly with me into the Flying Boat Inner Cabin and settle in. The Zhao Household will not be able to board the Flying Boat until three days later. Since you are going up ahead of time, and with the protection of the inner chamber's Formation, they will not be able to detect you at all."
"What kind of cabinet is this?"
"This is a place specifically for the disciples of my Cloudglow Sect to rest," Hong Qing explained.
"Won't this upset your fellow disciples? How about this, Brother Hong, you take these Spirit Stones and use them to bribe your way through. I don't want to put you in a difficult position because of this."
Yang Tianyou handed over a Storage Bag, his expression sincere.
Unexpectedly, Hong Qing quickly waved his hand, "This matter is actually me repaying Brother Yang's kindness. Even if it's about bribing officials, it should be me who pays with Spirit Stones. How can I let Brother Yang spend money? No, no!"
"Brother Hong, what are you saying? You've only recently broken through to the Foundation Establishment, and you're in dire need of Cultivation Resources right now. How could I possibly make things worse for you? Wouldn't that just add to my frustration?" Yang Tianyou's face tightened, feigning anger.
"Well... since that's the case, then I'll shamelessly accept it." Hong Qing couldn't refuse Yang Tianyou, so he smiled wryly and put away the Storage Bag.
Three hours later, Hong Qing led the Yang brothers, Yang Tianyou and Yang Tianwang, out of the pavilion and headed east, where the Cloudglow Sect's Cross-Commandery Flying Boat was moored.
Uncle Yang Qiongye and Uncle Yang Qiongchuan will not participate in this operation. The more people there are, the more difficult it will be to escape if danger is encountered.
On the pristine white plaza, a Yun Bai Flying Boat, hundreds of feet in size, was moored.
The Flying Boat is streamlined, with beautiful clouds carved on its surface; these are not merely decorations, but also a means of aiding flight.
Compared to the iron-blooded nature of the Luochuan Sect's Flying Boat, this Flying Boat has a gentler temperament and a more delicate shape.
Following Hong Qing, the group arrived at the entrance of the Flying Boat, where two disciples of the Cloudglow Sect, both at the Qi Refining stage, were guarding it.
Upon seeing Hong Qing, the two disciples quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Uncle-Master Hong."
"Hmm!" Hong Qing smiled faintly, nodded, and without stopping, entered the Flying Boat.
Behind him, Yang Tianyou and Yang Tianwang followed suit and entered the Flying Boat.
The two Cloudglow Sect disciples, seeing this, kept their eyes down and remained silent.
The Cross-Commandery Flying Boat was very large and quite spacious inside. In addition to rooms for cultivators to rest, there were several halls filled with fruits, wines, Rare Flowers and Exotic Herbs.
The group quickly arrived at Hong Qing's room, which was quite spacious, measuring several meters in both length and width, and equipped with all kinds of facilities. It could comfortably house not only one person, but also ten people.
