546 Some Things Break Down Again (1/2)
”Wow, there are so many people here, is there a new activity in Plentiful City?”
Walking on the streets of Plentiful City, Wang Lu only saw pedestrians rubbing shoulders with each other. The streets and alleys were filled with crowds like boiling water, and most of the crowds were female cultivators from various sects, which made Plentiful City like the city of women.
The last time he saw such a scene was shortly after the opening ceremony of the group of immortal tombs. At that time, the committee invited the most prestigious girl idol group in Nine Regions to perform. Upon hearing the news, the fans immediately rushed over and nearly flattened the city walls of Plentiful City! The cultivators on duty to preserve the public order were so busy and badly battered that their resentment soared to the heaven. Finally, the committee issued ten times the reward to suppress the crowd. Wang Lu fondly remembered that time.
At this time, the scene reappeared, but the sex was reversed, which immediately made Wang Lu curious.
”There are so many young female cultivators here, is this the time where the Mysterious Sky Mansion presents a new teen idol team? Well, Mysterious Sky Mansion finally figured out that there's no better way to make money in this world than from women. I have suggested to them about this earlier, but no one took it seriously… Speaking of which, little Liu Li, didn't you recently stay in Plentiful City, have you heard of this matter?”
Liu Li shook her head. ”I have never heard of any idol team.”
The girl bought a few packs of fried fruits from the roadside stall and muttered, ”There are a lot of people in Plentiful City now because some of the big sects had pierced a new ring in the immortal dream, opening up a new set of immortal dreamlands. Moreover, the income from there is said to be very rich.”
”Oh? A set? So it's a group of immortal dreams? The exploration team can actually make such a progress? Unexpectedly, that group of people is quite capable. But what is with this group of immortal dreams that make them attractive? Moreover, how come there are a lot of women?”
As the exploration of the group of immortal tombs by the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals penetrated deeper day by day, more and more rules were found out, so the understanding of rules of the immortal dreamlands in the group of immortal tombs was no longer the same. In the beginning, the creation of different immortal dreamland by the group of immortal tombs was highly independent of each other, not interfering with each other. Each of the thousands upon thousands of immortal dreamlands was mutually independent of each other. However, it didn't take long before a series of immortal dreamlands to appear where the content of the dreamland became relatively fixed, and had relationship between each other. Later on, even the concept of the group of immortal dreams appeared.
Shortly after Wang Lu and the others finished the battle for the five blood spirits crown, the exploration team discovered that, after the battle, a large number of immortal dreamlands that could be chosen to enter by themselves in the group of immortal tombs appeared, and the content of the dreamland was highly fixed. The randomness was greatly reduced, but the income had become more abundant.
In the ordinary immortal dreamland, even the elite cultivators often only had meager income, and treasure the level of spiritual treasure like Wang Lu's demon jade was almost impossible to obtain… However, in this fixed immortal dream, spiritual treasure and other things were not uncommon. Of course, based on the principle of equivalent exchange, it was not so easy to get this spiritual treasure. Moreover, these treasures were not renewable resources. Once someone had taken the most precious object in an immortal dream, that immortal dream would be permanently closed. At that time, the group of immortal dreams that was opened after the five blood spirit crown were repeatedly attacked by the exploration group day and night, and it took them only three to four months to fully explore them.
The five uniques and other top sects within the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals had almost carved up all the incomes from there. Then it was discovered that those immortal dreamlands were permanently closed. The grievances of the small and medium rank sects solidified almost like essence. Therefore, after that, the management committee had been forced to convene an emergency meeting to formulate the exploration and management methods of the group of immortal tombs and rationally allocate the resources.
Unfortunately, after that, no new group of immortal dreams appeared after a long time. After all, it was not every day the lead disciples of the five uniques would compete at the same immortal dream. Wang Lu initially thought that perhaps within three or five years, there would be no new group of immortal dreams. Unexpectedly, the exploration team was a bit more capable than expected.
”I don't know what the group of immortal dreams are.” Liu Li said, ”Master said that I should not be distracted by the immortal dreamland, and I just need to continue my own cultivation step by step.”
Wang Lu chuckled. ”Uncle Zhou Ming indeed appeared experienced and knowledgeable, but… I don't think we need to be that conservative.”
”What?”
”It's nothing, let's go.”
Wang Lu inwardly thought that if Nine Regions could continue to be peaceful for generations, then it was indeed good to be prudent. Liu Li was now in the last stage of the completion of the golden core, so her every move and action would determine the quality of her golden core, and even the success or failure in completing the golden core. The Brilliant Sword Heart that she cultivated was a cultivation method that favored explosive advancement, so during the completion of the core, if there was even a little bit of carelessness, the core might even catch fire and explode, ruining the enterprise for the sake of one basketful… Zhou Ming and the others had experienced a great calamity, so they were especially sensitive to the sudden fall of talents, therefore, focusing on stability was certainly good.
In regard to Wang Lu, he was also unwilling to let Liu Li with her kind of temperament to experience the significant ups and downs. This kind of spotless and pure mental state was like a piece of artwork. However, in reality, during the turbulent time, this so-called piece of artwork would be most badly broken. Wang Lu was unclear when would the crisis of the fallen immortal finally explode, but it might be assumed that it ought to come within his lifetime, therefore...
”Liu Li, are you interested in the immortal dreamland?”
Liu Li thought for a moment. ”I don't know, I never thought about it.”
Wang Lu chuckled. ”The last time I went to immortal dreamland, the background is set in the demon world… The culinary culture of the demon race is really interesting. Take the flaming valley barbarians as an example. Although their civilization is backward, their cooking method is wide open and big, seemingly unbearably crude. However, their particular environment produces special ingredients, which is actually exceptional. For example, there is lava fruit, which has a unique taste. It is fresh and clean, fragrant and sweet, but when it enters the mouth, it's like a volcanic eruption, in a flash, the entire tastes explode…”
”Senior Brother, don't treat me as an idiot who only cares to eat!” Liu Li protested with displeasure, but then swallowed her saliva. ”That lava fruit…”
Wang Lu shrugged. ”It would be broken once it leaves the environment of flaming valley, putting it in the mustard seed bag also doesn't work. At that time, I didn't have a special storage item, so I had to give up.”
”Oh, what a pity.” Liu Li's eyes glazed over, obviously imagining the taste of lava fruit.
”In fact, it's not only lava fruit. The background set in the immortal dreamland is so diverse that you can see all kinds of rare delicacies.”
”Yeah, but unfortunately, Master said…”
Wang Lu said, ”When did Uncle Zhou Ming tell you about it?”
Liu Li replied, ”About three months ago when I first entered the core completion stage.”
”But now it's been three months. Since even the time has changed then the effectiveness of the words would also change, right?”
Liu Li was stunned. ”Is that so?”
”Yes it is. For example, after you finished breakfast, you say you are full, but what about at noon? Wouldn't you say I'm hungry?”
Liu Li nodded. ”Yeah.”
”Therefore, Uncle Zhou Ming wanted you to not enter the immortal dreamland three months ago, but now it's not necessarily effective. So, if it's necessary right now, you entering the immortal dreamland for experiential learning is also natural.”
”But…” Liu Li still hesitated.
Wang Lu continued to persuade, ”The old saying says that elder brother is like a father. Since your Master is not here, then I, as your Senior Brother, am the same as your Master.”
”Em…” Liu Li froze for a moment, and then reluctantly nodded. ”Then, I will go to the immortal dreamland to try it.”
”Okay, let's start with the simple one. Moreover, I will accompany you.”
”Hehe.” Hearing that Wang Lu would accompany her, Liu Li no longer had any doubt.
After entering the gate of the group of immortal tombs with Liu Li, Wang Lu was taken aback by the scene before him.
In his line of sight was no longer a piece of bright galaxy, but an incomparably wide square with many doors. Each door was connected with an independent building. Many cultivators walked in and out of those buildings, looking very busy.
