When the first ray of sunlight shone on the surface of the river, the green halo disappeared and Zhuang Yan slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing Zhou Yao staring at him, Zhuang Yan smiled and asked,""Miss Zhou, what are you looking at?"
Zhou Yao smiled and didn't answer. Instead, she asked,""Were you cultivating just now?"
Zhuang Yan nodded slightly. "My vitality was greatly injured previously. Cultivation is the best way to recover my vitality. All the divine arts of cultivators come from heaven and earth, and spiritual energy is the foundation of all of this. I asked you about the high mountain because it's helpful for my cultivation. However, there are no mountains nearby, so I can only force myself to do it in this sparsely populated place.”
This was the first time in her life that she had come into contact with the cultivation world from Zhuang Yan, so Zhou Yao had always been curious.
It was just that Zhou Ning and Zhou Hong were around, so they were too embarrassed to ask Zhuang Yan non-stop like a child. Now that there was no one around, it was just enough to satisfy her curiosity.
After listening to Zhuang Yan's explanation, she nodded and continued to ask.
"Why do you have to cultivate on the mountain or in a sparsely populated place? Can't you do it at home? Are the other cultivators like you? Could it be that one had to stay far away from human beings to cultivate?”
Faced with a series of questions, Zhuang Yan sighed slightly and said," Cultivation is not only about cultivating one's body, but also about cultivating one's heart. Powerful cultivators often have a strong heart. They can endure for hundreds or even thousands of years sitting alone, not coming into contact with others, not communicating with others, and focusing on finding a place to cultivate. This could temper the determination and Dao heart of cultivation and help cultivators climb higher.”
"That's why I said that every expert is lonely!”
"However, it doesn't have to be in a sparsely populated place. After all, there are many sects in the cultivation world that gather many people to cultivate. What I said just now was to keep the loneliness, not to be completely isolated from the world. After all, cultivation was difficult. One had to communicate with others and learn to verify one's Dao.”
Zhuang Yan suddenly remembered what Ning Yunsheng had said before. He paused for a moment and added,"Some people might be different. It depends on your choice of cultivation path."
After Zhou Yao heard this, she grasped many important points. She couldn't wait to take a few steps forward and continued to ask,"Hundreds of years, thousands of years? How could a human live for so long? Then what is your method of cultivation? Is it to find a high mountain, a place that ordinary people can't reach?”
Zhuang Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Zhou Yao's childish question. However, she was his savior after all, so he could only answer patiently,"
"Powerful cultivators can indeed live longer. The ancestor of my Zhuang family is an expert who has lived for thousands of years. Of course, there were other people who were even more powerful. For example, some cultivators could be born before the world. I am born to the heavens, and the heavens decay and I am immortal. At that realm, he could no longer be called a person.”
Zhou Yao continued to support her head and looked up with a confused look. After a while, she said,"If you can't call him a human, then what should you call him?”
Zhuang Yan was silent for a moment. He really couldn't answer this question, so he told her a few words that he knew in his mind that should represent power."Hmm, that's hard to say. Maybe you can call him God, Saint, or Immortal.”
Zhou Yao obviously didn't know what these words meant, but she didn't care. After all, she was just curious and didn't want to get to the bottom of it.
"You still haven't told me what your cultivation method is.”
"My cultivation method?" Zhuang Yan was slightly stunned, then he said in a daze,"My cultivation method? You can call him an immortal!"
"Immortal?" Zhou Yao shook her head in confusion.
However, Zhuang Yan did not explain further. After all, it was a taboo to talk about something deep.
To be able to say this much had already greatly exceeded his psychological bottom line. If it was anyone else, he would definitely not say a word.
。。。
Time passed quickly. Zhuang Yan had stayed in the Zhou family for quite a few days.
After the long talk at dawn that day, his relationship with Zhou Yao had become closer. There was no longer the awkwardness of strangers living under the same roof.
For the next half a month, Zhuang Yan maintained this routine. Every morning, he would follow Zhou Yao out of the boat to fish, cultivate, and return with her in the afternoon.
The fish that Zhou Yao caught were sold to the merchants in the town at the ferry crossing next to the boat in exchange for some money. It was through this method that Zhou Yao, Zhou Jialuo, and the countless fishermen in the small fishing villages around Lingdu Prefecture made a living.
Of course, the fishmongers collected fish from the villages at a price lower than the market price, and then brought them back to the towns or even the Lingdu Prefecture City to sell them, earning the difference in price.
Some fishermen who were unwilling to be exploited would sell them directly to the town market to obtain a higher price.
However, this method was not suitable for Zhou Yao because she still had to take care of her sister. She had to go home every day and did not have time to go to the town market.
Zhuang Yan had become familiar with the villagers around him after living in the Zhou family for the past few days. They would usually smile and greet each other when they met.
However, they all looked at him strangely. Zhuang Yan could not understand why.
Ever since Zhuang Yan woke up that day, Zhou Hong had come to Zhou Yao's house almost every day. He had various reasons, either to send fish or to come and see Zhou Ning because he missed her.
However, in Zhuang Yan's eyes, this kind of behavior was simply a scheme. It was obvious that he was interested in Zhou Yao.
After these few days of observation, Zhuang Yan realized a fact that he had to face. Zhou Hong obviously regarded him as a love rival. No wonder he came every day and even targeted him from time to time.
It was easy to explain why the neighbors looked at him strangely. They obviously thought that he and Zhou Yao were a couple.
The scene of two men chasing a woman and killing each other was obviously a very interesting new thing in this peaceful fishing village.
No wonder the villagers had been looking at him strangely these days. It turned out that they were watching a show.
Although there were some misunderstandings, Zhuang Yan did not care too much. After all, his injuries were almost healed and he could leave at any time. After he left, these misunderstandings would naturally disappear.
The reason why he had not left yet was because Zhuang Yan estimated that the three-month deadline would soon be up and the official mission should start soon. He wanted to wait until after the official mission.
However, Zhou Hong did not know about this. As the rumors in the village spread, Zhou Hong's expression became uglier and uglier when he looked at Zhuang Yan. It was as if he was about to devour Zhuang Yan.
Zhuang Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't know how to explain it. After all, the more he explained, the more chaotic it would be.
。。。
That night, after dinner, Zhuang Yan entered his room to cultivate as usual. The Zhou sisters were used to it and did not ask much.
When he sat down cross-legged, before he could enter a meditative state, he heard a majestic voice that sounded like a great bell."Mission activated. Luck Siphon Zhuang Yan, prepare to enter. Ten, nine, eight…two, one "
A flash of light appeared before Zhuang Yan's eyes. Before he could react, the light had already faded. After his vision recovered, he saw the familiar hall of the Space-Time Island. There was still a ball of light floating in the middle of the hall.
There were a few familiar people standing around. They were also looking around.
After three months of separation, it was inevitable that there would be some estrangement. Everyone did not say anything and waited to see how the island would arrange it.
