Neighbors

The next morning, Jiang Ping'an left Biyou Peak. He first made a trip to Fulong Daping Valley Market and bought seven gifts as meeting presents for Xiu Yun and Xuan Shuang's neighbors. Only then did he head to Pingzhang Mountain to see Xiu Yun and Xuan Shuang.

"Young master." Xiu Yun happily went up to Jiang Ping'an and wrapped both arms around one of his.

Xuan Shuang was much calmer. She bowed to Jiang Ping'an. "Young master."

After entering the cave abode and taking their seats, Xiu Yun briskly brewed Spirit Tea for Jiang Ping'an.

Xuan Shuang reported, "Young master, yesterday, a neighbor came to our door intending to visit us. We did not dare open the door, nor did we dare respond to him."

Jiang Ping'an nodded and gave an "Mm." Then he said, "Today, I'll take you to visit the neighbors living on Pingzhang Mountain. Afterward, you can stroll around and move about on Pingzhang Mountain. You won't need to stay cooped up in the cave abode all the time."

"Thank you, young master," Xuan Shuang and Xiu Yun said.

Jiang Ping'an continued, "If you want a larger range of activity and greater safety, you still need to cultivate seriously and raise your cultivation. Within the Azure Origin Sect, only by becoming Outer Sect Disciples will you have any measure of safety."

"We understand," Xiu Yun and Xuan Shuang answered earnestly.

Jiang Ping'an smiled and continued, "For now, I won't buy horses for you to travel on. Once you reach the middle stage of the Spirit Aperture Realm, I'll buy Gu insects that can help you fly."

Allowing cultivators to fly faster was one of the benefits of cultivating the Gu Dao. Other cultivators could only use Sword Flight upon reaching the late stage of the Spirit Aperture
