Chapter 83 Star-Moon Capital
Chapter 83 Star-Moon Capital
Cao Changle smiled, looking somewhat embarrassed: "Yaoyao has finished eating the spiritual herbs she needs to grow. Immortal Venerable Cigui said he'll go out and find some more, and he'll be back soon."
As for me…
Cao Changle touched his nose and said, "I thought you would come back here as soon as you returned, so I wanted to wait for you here."
The Immortal Venerable agreed, but I had to help him manage the medicinal herb fields. So, as I tended them, I planted all the suitable medicinal herbs in the fields.
After saying that, Cao Changle pointed to the medicinal herb field behind him and said with great pride, "Qingyi, look, the spiritual herbs I grow are definitely the best in the entire Cangling Continent."
"If you ever want to refine pills in the future, you can pick any herbs you like from here!"
Yun Qingyi remained silent. Although she was very tempted, all the medicine here belonged to her master...
Won't I get beaten up if I just pick whatever I want?
"cough……"
A voice suddenly came from behind them.
"Master!"
Yun Qingyi turned around in surprise and saw Ci Gui standing not far behind them.
"Out?"
Ci Gui's cool voice carried a gentle warmth, and her waist-length hair danced lightly in the wind, brushing against her cheeks.
"Mmm!" Yun Qingyi nodded.
He affectionately ruffled Yun Qingyi's hair and looked her over.
"Yes, you've grown taller and thinner, and your face isn't as chubby as it used to be."
Yun Qingyi: "..." Is it possible that it's just baby fat?
As for growing taller, Yun Qingyi strongly agreed and was very satisfied.
She used to be about 1.6 meters tall, but now she clearly feels that she has grown a lot taller and should be about 1.75 meters.
Seeing Yun Qingyi's smug expression, seemingly lost in thought, Ci Gui chuckled and said, "I have something to tell you. Come with me."
After saying that, Yun Qingyi, holding the rabbit, followed Ci Gui into the bamboo garden.
After leaving Cao Changle standing there in a daze for a few seconds, he resumed his vigorous hoeing.
Inside the bamboo garden, Ci Gui brewed tea as usual.
"What is it, Master?"
"Is the Heavenly Dao making another move?" Yun Qingyi's expression was solemn. Although she was growing rapidly, Yun Yu'er, who had the help of the current Heavenly Dao, might be growing even faster.
With Yun Yu'er's rebirth, her goal this time is clearly not to indulge in pleasure.
Throughout the entire match, she was completely at a disadvantage.
Thinking of this, it would be a lie to say that Yun Qingyi wasn't anxious.
"Don't overthink it, have some tea." Ci Gui handed the brewed tea to Yun Qingyi on the table.
"Zangxuebai has a calming and soothing effect. You have too many distracting thoughts, so you need to drink more of it."
"I understand..." Yun Qingyi obediently drank her tea, but she always felt that something was missing. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly realized.
She looked at Cigui with bright eyes and said, "Master, tea and snacks."
Upon hearing this, Ci Gui was slightly taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh and say, "You're really thinking about those few dishes."
After saying that, he took out several plates of tea and snacks and placed them on the table.
Yun Qingyi's eyes lit up, and she reached out and picked up two to eat, then handed one to Yao Yao in her arms.
"Master, these pastries are different from what I've had before. They taste even better than before."
"Yes, I've tried many different things when making tea snacks over the years. I'm glad you like them." Ci Gui took a sip of tea and smiled faintly.
"Everything Master makes is delicious," Yun Qingyi said happily after finishing another piece.
He then took a sip of tea and looked at Ci Gui: "By the way, Master, what exactly happened?"
"Before we get to that, let me test you on whether you've forgotten your geographical records," Ci Gui said with a smile.
Yun Qingyi: "...Yes, Master."
Although he was absolutely certain, he still couldn't help but get nervous upon hearing this: "Master, please ask."
Do you know about Xingyue Capital?
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyi slowly replied, "Star Moon Capital is located in the Godless Domain. It is famous for having no stars but a moon all year round. The entire capital is situated in a location where the days are short and the nights are long."
"Hmm, not bad. Now let's talk about the Godless Realm." Ci Gui nodded slightly.
"The Realm of No Gods is located at the junction of the North and South Continents, but it belongs to the Northern Spirit Continent. The entire realm is almost entirely within the mortal world."
Protected by special world laws, cultivators entering the Godless Realm will not have their cultivation level forcibly reduced, but they will be punished by the rules randomly formed by the world laws at all times.
Furthermore, cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above, including those at the Nascent Soul stage, are not allowed to enter the Godless Domain.
"Hmm, very good, it seems you haven't forgotten." Ci Gui nodded in satisfaction.
"So, Master, this matter is related to the Star Moon Capital City of the Godless Domain?" Only after saying this did Yun Qingyi belatedly realize.
"Hmm." Ci Gui nodded slightly.
"According to reports from Xingyue City, a strange thing has happened there: their children are being eaten by some kind of creature at night, leaving only bones and scraps."
This incident actually began five years ago.
"Five years ago?" Yun Qingyi was stunned, somewhat incredulous: "But this kind of thing is obviously abnormal, why did they take so long to report it?"
When faced with something that is clearly beyond human control, lords in the mortal realm usually request help from the local branches of cultivation sects.
In this world of cultivation, cultivators have a responsibility to help mortals, so they establish sect branches in various places, and the sects regularly send people to guard them.
"That's what puzzles me too. However, according to the disciples from the Godless Realm, the City Lord of Star Moon City initially thought it was the work of a wild beast and didn't take the initial incident seriously."
After the initial incident, things were indeed peaceful for a long time, but just when the people were about to forget about it, a similar incident occurred again.
The city lord of Xingyue Capital had studied magic for a while and felt confident he could handle the situation, so he didn't inform the nearest sect branch.
“But…” Yun Qingyi hesitated, “Even if the City Lord of Xingyue later found that he couldn’t handle it, it wouldn’t have dragged on for five years, would it?”
Upon hearing this, Ci Gui shook his head: "No, he succeeded."
