Later, people discovered that the Mara-struck was not limited to self-proclaimed immortal elders, but even the struggling Brownies followed suit.
Some become indifferent to everything like corpses, while others slaughter indiscriminately like demons. Over their long lives, many lose their empathy and fall into madness.
The Xianzhou civilization was shrouded in the deepest darkness at that time. After the Ambrosial Arbor was cut down and the Abundance Immortal Relics became Plague's sacred relics, the Xianzhou began to suffer invasions from the Abundance followers. It was in great crisis, its internal beliefs were quite chaotic, and it lacked a leader. It suffered heavy losses in the war.
It's another existential crisis.
Even though Hua Yi accessed Xianzhou's ordinary network information as an outsider and did not browse the Six Departments' internal Database, he was still able to obtain many records.
Until a war, a "meteor" streaked across the star field, shattering the world occupied by the Abundance followers, and the major forces of the universe confirmed the birth of Aeon [Hunt].
With the intervention of the Hunt Aeon, the Xianzhou achieved successive victories in the great battle, gradually emerging from the crisis. The Divine Archer became the new faith of the Xianzhou people, a faith that continues to this day.
Organizations such as the Interastral Peace Corporation and the Erudition Society may consider the Mara-struck an academic issue, where, over the long years, the decaying spirit and the vigorous body become mismatched, leading to chronic illness.
However, Hua Yi has a reference example: under normal circumstances, people who live a long time will not undergo such a monstrous transformation.
Either the Aeon of Abundance was not preoccupied with controlling divine objects like the Ambrosial Arbor, and mortals were not fortunate enough to receive the blessings of this Exalted Beings, which truly became a curse.
Either it's [Equilibrium] adjustment to the Long-Life Species, preventing this powerful race, which has an extremely long lifespan and won't completely die even if its head is cut off, from becoming something like Cosmic Plague that ravages the entire universe.
The lifespan of a thousand years is not fixed. Although the Xianzhou Network does not deliberately publicize who lives a long life and has not fallen into the Mara-struck so that others can follow his example and learn his health preservation methods, Hua Yi can indirectly verify it.
The general of Zhuming Xianzhou lived for over a thousand years.
If it weren't for the fact that the Seven Arbiter-Generals of the Emperor's Bow be the Protection [Hunt] and freed from the negative effects of [ Abundance ] or [Equilibrium], the most likely remaining possibility would be that a sufficiently resilient spirit and mind could help the Xianzhou people anchor themselves and prolong the period of falling into demonic darkness.
Coincidentally, Hua Yi is very good at this kind of conscious approach.
The Tingyun can prove it!
However, it was not a known force of destiny in the universe, and he would not use it recklessly in the Hunt base camp unless necessary.
" The Xianzhou people have Mara-struck, Dragon's Kin appears to be able to reincarnate, but they cannot reproduce on their own. Once they are killed, the overall number of the clan will decrease irreversibly. Only the Foxian have a lifespan of three to four hundred years, which is an advantage over both the above and the below."
The Dragon's Kin are not the [ Abundance ] race, but the [Immortal] race. According to the academic materials shared by Ruan Mei, the moment when the Bug Empress Tayzzyronth Propagation, the [Immortal] may have been torn apart.
The relationships involved are complex and intertwined. In comparison, the so-called crisis that Xianzhou Luofu is about to face is not actually that exaggerated or terrible.
Ta-da!
"Get out of the way! Don't block my path and ruin my escape plan!"
A tiny little one was running wildly down the street.
With a pair of dragon horns on its deep blue hair and pointed ears, its clothes, though small, were exceptionally gorgeous, adorned with scales and water ripples, signifying its extraordinary status.
It also had a gourd tied around its waist, and its tail swayed freely up, down, left, and right as it ran.
She looked and sounded about the same age as the blind little girl, but she ran incredibly fast.
Not to mention that the girl Hua Yi encountered before was blind and had to walk carefully, even if Qing Que, the running champion of Divination Commission Qingque, were here, it would be hard to say that he could outrun this girl.
The Xianzhou truly produces many powerful individuals.
Hua Yi was amazed, but his movements were swift as he stepped aside to make way for him.
"Okay, okay."
The petite Dragon's Kin girl, with her short legs moving at an astonishing speed, kicked up dust in the street, and gave Hua Yi a thumbs up.
"You did a good job. If you ever get sick again, you can come to me. I guarantee I'll cure you completely."
"Really? That's great, I have a heart condition."
"Alright, if I get caught, you can come find me at the Alchemy Division, no need to wait in line!"
It's the Alchemy Division again.
Hua Yi hadn't even arrived yet, but he had already befriended two very important figures.
"Oops."
The girl with the Vidyadhara disappeared without a trace, and several other girls from the Dragon's Kin arrived late, somewhat resentful that the passersby made way for the Dragon Daughter instead of helping to capture her.
Why didn't you stop them?
"Alright, these are outsiders who have no idea about the Dragon Daughter's identity. Let's continue with the work."
Chapter 330 Bailu's Medical Skills Are Truly Terrifying
Chase?
Can't catch up, hehe~
Escape successful!
Taking advantage of her petite figure and familiarity with the environment, the girl, Vidyadhara as the Dragon Daughter, navigated through winding alleys filled with clutter, squeezing through gaps to successfully shake off her pursuers.
Bailu won first place in this obstacle course race.
The women Vidyadhara could protect this Dragon Maiden Lord were naturally not weak. Each of them possessed the Cloud Chant Art, which allowed them to control water and clear obstacles. They could break through any wooden boxes or red walls that blocked their path with their own strength.
In terms of individual combat strength, the Dragon's Kin ranks among the top in the Xianzhou Alliance.
But it makes no sense for the Dragon's Kin to damage public facilities or other people's property on the Luofu Xianzhou just because of the frequent escapes of the Dragon Daughter. Do they even care about their reputation?
"Sigh, the Dragon Maiden Lord is running faster and faster, but she's not getting any taller."
"There's nothing strange about it. Delayed development is common among the Dragon's Kin. Compared to her stillness, I'm more worried about her dreamless state."
"No dreams..."
"After receiving the Abyssal Pearl and the Dragon Transformation Method, each generation of Dragon Lord would relive the Dragon Ancestor's past in their dreams. The Abyssal Archive was responsible for transcribing and recounting these events. This was the only way for our clan to get closer to [immortality]. However, Lord Bailu has never had such an experience. Either her Dragon Heart is flawed, or she has not fully implemented the Dragon Transformation Method."
"After all, our clan experienced the Yaoguai Incident, such a calamity was truly..."
"One should not speak lightly of the affairs of the Previous Dragon Lord."
The women, who Vidyadhara, tacitly changed the subject.
"As usual, I used my privileges to check the Dragon Maiden Lord's spending records and deduce her travel route."
"This will take time."
" The Shipyacht Department will not open the ferry crossing to allow Dragon Maiden Lord to escape into the starry sky. If she stops at Xianzhou Luofu, there is no need to worry too much about her safety."
Bailu has run away from home so many times that they already have experience in dealing with it and various solutions.
Both sides knew the truth.
Strolling through the streets of Xianzhou Luofu, watching the sky gradually darken, Bailu knew that this was an artificial celestial phenomenon created by the Department of Terrestrial Measurement's Wind and Rain Platform, telling the residents that it was almost time for dinner.
They chatted some more, strolled around the streets, and when they got tired, they went home to rest, drifted off to sleep, and had a good night's rest.
Dragon Maiden Lord needs to find a place to eat and sleep.
"First, turn off Jade Abacus's location tracking, then disconnect the network. Although the Star Shard are all inside, if you buy something delicious, they will find you soon."
Ideally, everything would be resolved without using the Jade Abacus.
As for inns like Yichen Inn, those are definitely not places to stay.
Regardless of whether the innkeeper is willing to help keep the secret and hide their whereabouts, if the clansmen later find out that Yichen Inn is harboring Dragon Daughter, at best they are just playing along with their nonsense, and at worst they are provoking the Dragon's Kin.
A tiny Bailu let out a long sigh, walked along a secluded path, and when it caught sight of the pond, it wished it could bury its head in the water.
Those Vidyadhara will not drown.
It's the same small world, but when you close your eyes, you feel like you've transcended the boundaries of water, experiencing a kind of illusory freedom.
"——Lord Bailu?"
Startled by being called by name, Bailu immediately increased her walking speed and fled again.
"Wait, don't wander around at night. I won't tell the others about Vidyadhara!"
That voice sounds like Tingyun?
Looking back, Bai Lu confirmed that it was indeed the Foxian- girl she remembered, and her eyes Bailu.
"Could you find me a Starskiff to go outside Xianzhou Luofu and take a look?"
" The Starskiff cannot meet the needs of Interstellar Navigation, and as you know, Lord Bailu, the Shipyacht Department will not allow you to leave Xianzhou Luofu. This would be a major dereliction of duty on our part."
"Could it be that Miss Tingyun has also been bribed?!"
Seeing Bailu's wary expression and her attempt to run away, Tingyun rubbed her temples to relieve the fatigue from accompanying Lord Yukong.
Recalling the message Hua Yi had sent earlier, the Shipyacht Department had also secretly investigated and confirmed that some of the Vidyadhara seemingly cooperating in maintaining public order, but in reality, they were secretly creating misunderstandings. Tingyun hesitated for a moment and decided to help the Dragon Daughter and find out more about the situation.
"If Lord Bailu wishes to leave the Alchemy Division to relax, she may stay with me."
"And then you went and tattled on me to Vidyadhara, who was chasing after me?"
"How could that be? I'm not that kind of person."
"So you'd let me go out for a couple of days?"
"To conceal her whereabouts, Lord Bailu probably doesn't want to use the Jade Abacus. She probably doesn't even have a place to eat or stay. I was taking care of the Dragon Lord of the Dragon's Kin and was busy with official duties, so I didn't have time to tell Vidyadhara. That's quite reasonable, isn't it?"
"That makes perfect sense!"
Bailu thought about it carefully. Although Miss Tingyun was very shrewd and diplomatic, she didn't seem to have ever lied...
Yay, we've found an ally!
Even though the physical abilities of Long-Life Species are far superior to those of ordinary people, and they can stay up all night without any problem, wandering around the streets is just actively revealing their location to others.
Following the Foxian- girl into her dwelling, Bailu was quite satisfied to find no Vidyadhara ambush.
"You seem a bit tired. How about I examine you and prescribe some medicine to relieve your fatigue? Just so you know, even if you go to the Alchemy Division to get the medicine, you can't give me away!"
"I understand. I'll just say it's a prescription I dreamed about."
"Yes, yes, yes."
"As for the affairs of the Shipyacht Department, I am quite capable of assisting Lord Yukong in handling them. It's just that I sometimes have a headache, not too bad, just a little bit. It's probably because I haven't rested well."
Bailu was about to lower her head to write the prescription when she heard that Tingyun had other symptoms, so she immediately stopped.
Four Diagnostic Methods.
It took quite a while.
"Since I'm not currently at the Alchemy Division, I don't have many diagnostic methods available, but my medical skills are superb, and I already understand what's going on."
"Didn't you not get enough rest?"
"Wrong, it's clearly due to excessive mental exertion. Miss Tingyun experienced extremely intense emotions a while ago, going through great highs and lows. An ordinary person would probably be mentally exhausted, but you seem perfectly fine now—impressive!"
A rollercoaster ride?
A hint of confusion flashed in Tingyun's eyes.
The Shipyacht Department Company has been very busy lately, and the warning message brought by the Astral Express has made the higher-ups nervous, but it shouldn't be called a "major collapse".
As for "great joy," could it be referring to the inexplicable happiness I felt when I met Hua Yi...?
Lord Bailu can even see through something like this?
Doctors are terrifying!
Feeling that her girlish heart had been exposed, Miss Fox wagged her tail and began to speak evasively.
"By the way, Taste of Abundance Garden has launched a new dessert called Falling Nine Heavens. I just bought some. Would Lord Bailu like to try some?"
Chapter 331 Attack
"Wow, such long, long strands of candied sugar!"
"I'm glad you like it, Lord Bailu."
"You bought the desserts, and you ate them yourself. I 'Four Diagnostic Methods and determined that Miss Tingyun should eat more sweet things to soothe her mind."
"These snacks were actually bought as gifts for... Okay, I'll have some."
So, it's very suspicious.
Bailu glanced at the box containing the dessert; it was a huge portion, far too much for one person to eat.
