With fewer cultivators and lower strength among them, the standard for cultivators' entry has been lowered ti and again. However, in ancient tis, the Pursue Heart State was considered the entry threshold for cultivators.
Thus, reaching the peak of the Dawen Realm, when one could ascend to the Pursue Heart State at any mont, was terd as The Threshold Realm."
Ling Zhenfei now understood. As a loose cultivator, lacking a master to teach him these things ant his knowledge was limited.
As the saying goes, "Among three people, there is always one who can be my teacher." Ling Zhenfei enjoyed chatting with these venerable experts.
At this ti, Xiao Hai said, "Actually, our reasons for coming here are similar. First, the chips offered by the Wuliang Immortal Palace are considerable, matching our own expectations.
Then, it's beneficial for us, as we can broaden our horizons in the Foreign Land Space, and perhaps even ascend to the Pursue Heart State in the Foreign Land Space.
But the dangers of the Foreign Land Space don't need much elaboration, do they? We guest elders are here to assist the Wuliang Immortal Palace, which naturally makes it more dangerous, so we should collaborate more closely.
In a place like the Foreign Land Space, being alone is practically courting death. We should cultivate good relations, so we can help each other inside."
Cui Lingyun laughed after hearing this: "Really? Do you think I'd align myself with such people?"
Everyone paused for a mont. Although no one brought it up, it was clear that the conflict between Ling Zhenfei and Cui Lingyun was irreconcilable.
Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "Very well, I don't like people like him, so I won't be in the sa camp."
The tensions between the two seem irreconcilable, leaving no solutions.
The remaining three had their thoughts, knowing that soloing in the Foreign Land Space could easily end in disaster.
Just then, a person ca up from the distant path, walking briskly and evidently a very capable cultivator.
Only when he got closer did Ling Zhenfei realize the newcor was Jiang Wen.
"Seniors, why did you co here? I almost couldn't find you."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Weren't the accommodations arranged? We could just rest by ourselves later."
Jiang Wen said, "I invited you all; each of you possesses formidable skills. Getting to know each other would be good, but rest may not be so easy.
You all must be hungry, right? How about joining for so food to get acquainted?"
"No need, I'm not hungry," Cui Lingyun said, with noticeable anger in his voice.
Xiao Hai also said, "Count out for the al; I have other matters to attend to."
For so reason, all four chose not to eat.
At this point, Jiang Wen asked Ling Zhenfei, "What about you, Mr. Ling?"
Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "I'll go, of course. In this world, only won and good food shouldn't be missed."
Won and good food were indeed things Ling Zhenfei loved.
Jiang Wen also smiled and said, "Since the others aren't eating, let's just go for a al together."
Ling Zhenfei and Jiang Wen walked along the cliff edge path into the distance.
Following Jiang Wen through the guest courtyard, they arrived at Wuliang Mountain.
Ling Zhenfei asked, "Mr. Jiang, your Wuliang Mountain is indeed beautiful and majestic, but why do I see so few sect mbers?"
This was a doubt in Ling Zhenfei's heart. Mo Lun ntioned there were hundreds of disciples on Wuliang Mountain, yet Ling Zhenfei saw hardly anyone upon arrival.
Even the people he did see were just cleaners, easily counted on ten fingers.
Jiang Wen said, "Apart from the beginning of each month when the elder gives a lecture on our cultivation techniques, the rest of the ti is dedicated to cultivation.
We have seventy-two caves on Wuliang Mountain, and over a hundred rooms, all great places for cultivation."
Ling Zhenfei nodded, "No wonder the Wuliang Immortal Palace has thrived for a thousand years. Its people must grow very strong with their tireless cultivation."
Jiang Wen laughed and said, "It's true, we at Wuliang Mountain do prioritize cultivation, but it has its drawbacks, like so of my senior brothers, whom I only see at the beginning of each month.
Otherwise, they're all cultivating at their caves' west side. Aside from people like with public duties, everyone is engaged in cultivation."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Cultivating every day sounds boring; being able to travel like you should be quite a privilege."
As they talked, they arrived outside a building.
Jiang Wen said, "Here is our dining hall. I know it's a bit plain compared to yours, but we make do on the mountain."
Ling Zhenfei said, "I don't have any issues with it."
They entered, and as it was past alti, few people were eating inside.
Ling Zhenfei and Jiang Wen took a seat at a table.
Jiang Wen looked at the nu, ordered a few dishes, and they chatted while waiting.
Then, suddenly, the door opened, and soone entered. As soon as Ling Zhenfei saw this person, he was imdiately shocked because it was the girl who split him and Cui Lingyun apart with a pine nut from behind the mountain.
This girl held a bamboo flute in her hand, her face cold as ice, genuinely chilly.
Back then, Ling Zhenfei had watched from afar; now, being so close, he could see more clearly.
Just how did this girl's skin get to be so flawless, like a peeled egg, so delicate and smooth.
Her features were as if painted, truly astonishing Ling Zhenfei.
At this mont, Jiang Wen also saw the girl and, as if guided by an unknown force, greeted her.
"Junior Sister Murong, long ti no see."
The girl saw Jiang Wen but showed no expression on her face, yet still walked over to their table.
"Senior Brother Jiang, long ti no see," the so-called Miss Murong said as she noticed Ling Zhenfei, showing a trace of surprise.
Jiang Wen, unaware of what had transpired, said to the girl, "Are you here for a al too? It's not easy to catch sight of you here."
The girl glanced at Ling Zhenfei and said, "I was cultivating, but was disturbed, so I ca here for a bite. Looks like Senior Brother Jiang knows these people."
Only now did Jiang Wen realize it was Ling Zhenfei and the others who disturbed the girl, and he hurriedly introduced them to each other.
"Junior Sister Murong, this is Ling Zhenfei, our invited guest elder."
"Brother Ling, this is my junior sister, Murong Liuqing. She's a cultivation prodigy, already with one foot in the Pursue Heart State despite her young age."
Ling Zhenfei quickly bowed to Murong Liuqing, "I apologize, Miss Murong, for previously disturbing your rest. I offer my apologies."
