Chapter 250 The Sea of Illusion
Yun Fuzhao had prayed that this place wouldn't be chosen when he was doing his homework, but what he feared most came true.
The Sea of Illusion, just like its name suggests, presents disciples with an overwhelming and amplified array of desires upon entering.
Disciples with wavering minds are easily trapped in their own delusions. Their insatiable greed can lead them to go to extremes, making them highly susceptible to demonic possession.
Secondly, one must contend with the extremely complex weather conditions, such as hail in sunny weather and ice catching fire.
Without the protection of spiritual energy, one is very likely to suffer from frostbite and burns.
Thirdly, there are the evaluation criteria used this time.
Three days later, they left the Sea of Illusion, and the family with the most Heart Flames won first place.
Yun Fuzhao still doesn't know what the Heart Fire is. This rule is just a brief introduction. They will be told more when they arrive at the competition venue tomorrow.
Upon hearing that the competition would take place in the Illusory Sea, Yu Zhiyue immediately wilted.
She slumped weakly onto the table, "It's the Sea of Illusions, so what's the point of our competition..."
"Why can't the Sea of Illusion be compared?"
Yu Zhiyue sighed, "Master, you don't know this. The harsh environment of the Void Sea isn't the most fatal thing; the most fatal thing is that spiritual energy is scarce there."
If we have to expend our spiritual energy to withstand the harsh weather as soon as we enter, what will we use to fight them later?
Yun Fuzhao was taken aback; she hadn't expected that.
"Not to mention, the techniques we cultivate consume a lot of spiritual energy."
Talisman cultivation, array cultivation, sound cultivation, and so on all require a vast amount of spiritual energy to maintain.
Yun Fuzhao now understands why there are so many cultivators in the Northern Continent who refine spears. In such extreme situations, how could cultivators from other directions possibly compete with spears that do not require the consumption of spiritual energy?
Xun Liu pushed the door open and came in. "Hey, don't say such discouraging things. The competition hasn't even started yet, how can we lose morale?"
Bu Xiuwei and the others followed closely behind.
Bu Xiuwei: "Yeah, you should learn a lot from Xun Liu, that heartless idiot. Look at her, she doesn't seem worried at all."
Xun Liu kicked him without hesitation, but Bu Xiuwei had anticipated this and nimbly dodged the kick.
“Since the weather is extreme,” Yun Fuzhao pondered, “we can rely on external forces.”
Yu Zhiyue's words reminded Yun Fuzhao that, in terms of the abundance of spiritual energy, Yu Zhiyue and her companions were naturally no match for the disciples of those aristocratic families.
All of that province must be saved.
"What external force?"
Yun Fuzhao: "You'll find out when the time comes."
With their departure scheduled for tomorrow, Yun Fuzhao prepared the necessary items for the journey overnight.
She also sent a text message to the Grand Elder to inquire about the situation at the Boundless Sword Sect. Reassured to learn that nothing serious had happened to the sect, she felt relieved.
"Miss Yun."
Upon hearing this, Yun Fuzhao stood up. Her door was not closed, but Lian Sheng stood straight outside the door, still with his back to her.
"what happened?"
Yun Fuzhao poked his head out, looking puzzled. "Isn't the door open?"
Lian Sheng turned his head and saw her looking at him with her head tilted like a cat.
Her heart skipped a beat, and Lian Sheng hastily looked away, saying, "Men and women should be different; this is against propriety."
Yun Fuzhao looked at him leisurely, "I even went into your room before..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lian Sheng covered her lips.
His ears turned red, and he said in a low voice, "That's why Miss Yun should be even more careful."
Lian Sheng's hands looked fair, but there were thin calluses on her palms and fingertips, which must be because she often picked herbs.
The palm felt soft, and Lian Sheng immediately pulled her hand away as if she had been electrocuted.
"I've come today to give you this." He took out a series of small, porcelain-white bottles. "I heard you're about to head to the Sea of Illusion. These pills are for stopping bleeding and healing wounds."
Yun Fuzhao said without any hesitation, "Thank you, Divine Physician."
She stuffed the bottles into her storage bag one by one. After waiting for a while, and seeing that Lian Sheng didn't speak, Yun Fuzhao looked up. Lian Sheng was looking at her quietly, as if she had something to say.
"Anything else?"
“That day,” Lian Sheng coughed, “I haven’t thanked Miss Yun for sending me back to Tianshan.”
"It's no big deal." Yun Fuzhao waved his hand. "With our relationship, saying something like that makes us distant."
Lian Sheng smiled slightly, "Then Miss Yun, please be careful on your journey. I look forward to hearing good news from you."
"no problem."
Lian Sheng bid her farewell and walked several hundred meters before belatedly placing his hand on his chest.
My heart is beating very fast.
Ever since that drunken night, he would act like this whenever he saw Yun Fuzhao.
Actually, he had forgotten what happened that day when he was drunk. Feeling like he had forgotten something, he flipped through his notebook and almost smashed it when he saw those three words written on the latest page.
Soon, he grabbed her sleeve and wouldn't let go, crying in front of her without any dignity...
Scenes flashed before my eyes like a revolving lantern.
Even now, when Lian Sheng thinks about it, she still feels embarrassed and wants to cover her face.
He felt so embarrassed in front of Miss Yun.
The next morning, Yun Fuzhao summoned Yu Zhiyue and the others to prepare for departure.
"one two three……"
Yun Fuzhao counted the number of people and found that one person was missing.
Xun Liu: "That guy Hu Chengcai didn't come."
Yun Fuzhao's anxiety finally died.
She knew this guy would most likely mess things up.
If they ignore his words, they will be unable to participate in the competition.
Having no other choice, Yun Fuzhao went to his residence to look for him.
In truth, the nameless family was shabby in every way, except for Hu Chengcai's residence, which was magnificent and could be said to be the most eye-catching part of the nameless family.
Yesterday, Yun Fuzhao repeatedly reminded him to get up early, but he still went to bed late.
This infuriated Yun Fuzhao, and she immediately pushed open Hu Chengcai's door.
This guy was sleeping sprawled out on his back.
It made her furious.
The others behind were also furious.
Bu Xiuwei yanked off his blanket and kicked him, yelling, "Get up! We're going to miss the aristocratic family competition!"
Hu Chengcai groggily opened his eyes and saw a large group of people standing in front of his bed. He didn't care, blinked, and went back to sleep.
He mumbled, "Get lost, don't disturb my sleep!"
Several people:"……"
Yun Fuzhao couldn't stand it anymore, so he activated his water spirit root and poured a bucket of cold water over his head.
"Hold!"
Hu Chengcai sat up with a jolt, shouting, "Who dares to splash me!"
Yun Fuzhao replied with a smile, "Finally awake. Let's go, let's participate in the aristocratic family competition."
Hu Chengcai gave her a cold look and said, "Who do you think you are, daring to boss me around? Do you even know who my father is!"
“Cultivation level,” Yun Fuzhao gestured to him, “take him with you.”
Bu Xiuwei understood immediately and wrapped him in the quilt, carrying him on his shoulder like a load of rice.
Hu Chengcai had never been treated like this before. He struggled frantically, shouting, "How dare you treat me like this! Bu Xiuwei, do you not want to stay in the Wuming Family anymore?!"
"Noisy."
Yun Fuzhao immediately sealed his mouth with a hand seal.
