Chapter 29 Only Fools Can Understand Fools
That's all for now. Don't say another word.
【Uh-huh!】
Ji Se: "I've already bought the pills, you can take them and deliver them! Sigh! If only the fan had some kind of repair chamber or nutrient chamber or something!"
【Yeah, Sister Shan is so kind, good people will definitely be rewarded. I'm going!】
Nine days have passed since we left the third level, so it's impossible for us to get out of the crevice.
The concentration of spiritual energy outside is not as high as here, so even if they don't enter the last level, it's still a gain for them.
Geng Yu wasn't in a hurry at all. In just half a year, he had gone from the seventh level of Qi Refining to the ninth level, and was about to break through to the tenth level. He also had so many herbs. He had made a killing!
Zhong Qi didn't earn much, but he successfully entered the ninth level of Qi Refining yesterday, which was better than expected.
Liu Xiang was nervous; he hadn't cultivated for a day and paced back and forth from time to time.
Liu Ruyan was anxious and couldn't calm down at all. Her jealous and resentful gaze swept across Ji Se's face countless times.
If we didn't kill her last time, this time that bitch Ji Se won't be leaving the secret realm.
The Heavenly Sword Sect only needs one ice-spirit root genius like her!
The master is hers, the resources are hers, and the glory is hers too!
No one can take it away; the overflowing hatred in her eyes was noticed by Cheng Nan, who was by the sea.
Cheng Nan glanced at her, offering neither warning nor advice.
He disliked this Junior Sister Liu at all. Don't think he couldn't tell what kind of person she was; he just couldn't be bothered with her, and she hadn't bothered him.
Besides, Master said that this person was to be left as a stepping stone for Junior Sister Ji to motivate her to cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness. Otherwise, he would have slapped this pretentious person away long ago.
Does she think all cultivators are fools?
How can one attain enlightenment if one cannot see through things?
Do you understand the Dao of Foolishness?
As for Ji Se and Tu Shan, needless to say, no one was more composed than the two of them.
"Senior Brother, you said those three were inside for so long, what were they doing in there? Was Geng Yu lying to us before?"
Ling Wushuang stared at the door on the right, her heart filled with curiosity.
Liu Xiang tried to calm himself down, but he still couldn't suppress his emotions: "There's nothing wrong with it, and he didn't lie to us. Don't overthink it."
He didn't want to offend Geng Yu right now. They were competitors, that's true, but the final stage required high-level combat power in some areas, and he couldn't afford to offend him too much.
As for what happens after successfully completing the challenge...
"Little mute, you're not cultivating or refining medicine right now, can you tell me how you're doing it?"
Tu Shan looked up at Geng Yu in front of her, rolled her eyes, and ignored him.
If you don't bring something good to the table, you can't expect to learn from others' experience.
Nine years of compulsory education taught her that knowledge requires payment.
It's true that it's an obligation; which of those test papers and exercise books doesn't cost money?
Now you want to steal the fruits of her and "Tu Shan's" labor? Keep dreaming!
"Little mute, what kind of look is that? What do you mean by that?"
Zhong Qi looked at Geng Yu, who was still struggling with her decision, and was speechless. She usually seemed to be a smart person, so why was she acting so foolish now?
Do you think you can get someone else's recipe by getting it for free?
You're not only handsome, you also have beautiful dreams.
Geng Yu: This is a compliment to me, please praise me more.
Geng Yu turned to complain to Zhong Qi, only to receive a signal that said, "Are you an idiot?"
"Zhong Qi, what do you mean by that expression? Are you saying I'm an idiot?"
Zhong Qi: He's not really stupid; at least he knows he's stupid.
"Speak your mind. Don't look at me with that deadpan expression. I can't read the emotions in your lifeless eyes. Change your expression!"
Geng Yu shook his head and sighed, then continued babbling, "Why doesn't that little mute talk? If she did, we could exchange alchemy tips and improve together, wouldn't that be great?"
Zhong Qi couldn't stand his foolish appearance any longer and reminded him, "Give her your Heaven-Rank cultivation technique, 'Burning Heaven Sword Art'!"
"How can that be? That's my specialty, how can I just do it casually... cough cough! Well, I was wrong!"
Geng Yu was reminded by Zhong Qi that she had done something foolish.
He was just too excited and didn't think things through, no wonder the little mute boy rolled his eyes.
Geng Yu followed Tu Shan eagerly, quickly apologizing: "Well, little mute, I'm sorry, I didn't think that much about it at the time. I didn't mean to offend you. If you don't want to communicate, I won't force you!"
"If you'd like to exchange alchemy tips with me, tell me what you need, and I'll see if I have it. If not, I'll try my best to find it for you, hehehe!"
Seeing that he had finally come to his senses, Tu Shan smiled at him.
Seeing her smile, Geng Yu's smile widened, and he excitedly said, "Little mute, can you tell me what you need?"
Tu Shan: "Cultivation techniques, spiritual skills, or alchemy insights!"
"Hahaha! Little mute, so you really aren't a little mute after all! That's great, now I don't have to struggle to find topics to talk about!"
Geng Yu couldn't help but grin.
What the hell are you talking about? Do we even need to have common topics?
Tu Shan glanced expressionlessly at the idiot who was sticking his back teeth out of sight, feeling utterly exhausted!
"The sect's cultivation techniques cannot be passed on to outsiders. The only decent technique left is the Earth-rank technique 'Blazing Palm,' which my father bought at an auction. As for the alchemy insights, they were given to me by my master. Which one do you want?"
Which one? Can't we have both?
She doesn't have any Earth-rank cultivation techniques! It's completely impossible for her to obtain another one in a short period of time.
Alchemy insights are even rarer; they might not be available even with spirit stones.
If you have spirit stones, you might be able to try your luck at an auction for a low-level cultivation technique.
Without a good cultivation technique, she might not be able to survive until the day she earns so many spirit stones.
"How about this? I'll give you the 'Blazing Palm' technique, and I can show you my alchemy insights for half an hour. How much you absorb is up to you."
Seeing her furrowed brows, pale face, and thin body, Geng Yu couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
The little mute girl doesn't have many years left to live; let's just pity her!
Tu Shan's brows relaxed with a "whoosh," and the corners of her mouth curved into a smile: "Okay, thank you, you're such a kind person. My method is not something that ordinary people can learn. Let me refine a batch for you to see!"
When it comes to alchemy, there is no better way to learn than by observing it in person.
This is to repay his generosity.
"Really? Little mute, thank you!"
Geng Yu couldn't help but raise his hand and touch Tu Shan's hair.
Little mute, are you thinking you don't have many years left to live and want to pass on your experience?
Don't worry, I will study hard and will never let you down.
Tu Shan was completely bewildered. What kind of melodramatic plot was this? Why was he touching her hair? Were they that close? And what was with that pitying look in his eyes?
One day, she found herself unable to keep up with other people's thought processes.
[Perhaps he's just feeling sorry for you, thinking you don't have many years left to live.]
Upon hearing the system's response, Tu Shan was truly speechless.
Only a fool can understand another fool.
They don't have many years left to live, but they still have a few years, right?
What is the purpose of cultivation?
Live forever!
Cultivation itself is a reversal of the natural order.
It's not unusual for a sickly woman like her to try to live a little longer. Everyone else is rebelling against the Heavenly Gang, so it's easier for you than for me. It's just a little harder, but otherwise there's no difference!
