Chapter 258 I am a little fish (13)
Flying techniques, as one of the first techniques that ordinary people cultivate after initiating their bodies, are not particularly difficult.
Having already begun to control his own demonic and spiritual power, Jingli found his cultivation quite easy. In just a quarter of an hour, he had learned most of the spells in the jade slip. If it weren't for the limitations of the space, he would have liked to practice them in person.
After withdrawing from her meditative state, Jingli sat in her room and spaced out for a while.
It's so quiet, completely different from that house filled with decadent music.
Jingli suddenly remembered 6058's previous speculation that Meng Li was probably now practicing dual cultivation.
But the scenery just doesn't look right.
Several times, Meng Li's flirtatious behavior towards Jing Li was merely superficial. The purpose beneath this surface was clearly not dual cultivation, but rather shrouded in a hint of killing intent.
Perhaps, if Jingli showed even the slightest hesitation, Meng Li would not have shown any mercy.
What are those sounds?
Since that house was Meng Li's private residence, how did those people get in?
Why do spiritual energy, evil energy, and blood energy coexist in the inner palace? How did Chunqi enter one of the parts, and how and from where did he become tainted by demonic energy?
There are already so many problems right in front of us, and Jingli still has no clue what to do.
Feeling a bit stuffy, Jingli drew back the curtains inside the room.
The outside is blue and white, as if it were in the sky.
However, Jingli soon experienced a slight feeling of weightlessness.
Meng Li came out of her room without giving Jing Li a glance, and opened the door directly. At the same time, the car landed, and they arrived outside a city gate.
The two stepped out of the car. Meng Li waved her hand to put the car away and walked towards the city gate with an extremely natural gesture. She handed over the spirit stones needed for the two to enter the city and walked forward without looking back, seemingly unconcerned that Jing Li would leave.
Jingli did have a fleeting thought about running away, but she quickly gave up.
Instead of wandering around aimlessly, it's better to stay by Meng Li's side; that way, you might discover something faster.
As 6058 once said, when you have no clue what to do, just follow the path you're on.
Jingli agreed wholeheartedly, ran a few steps to catch up with Mengli, and began to observe from all angles.
Judging from the abundance of spiritual energy, this place is still within the cultivation world and appears to be located in one of the cities here.
Generally, such cities are centered around a major sect, attracting some independent cultivators and even some ordinary people to settle there, hoping to secure an opportunity for themselves or their descendants to enter the major sect, or as a second choice, it's not a bad thing to mooch some resources here.
Therefore, the scene inside the city gate was one of prosperity and flourishing.
Jingli proactively shared her view with 6058, informing the two of her current location.
Lu Mingguang quickly provided the basic information about the place and marked the location of Baiyunque, so that Jingli could go there directly if needed.
From the information given by Lu Mingguang, Jingli learned that the place they were in was called Lingxiao City, which was surrounded by mountains and was a treasure land for gathering spiritual energy.
And nestled in the mountains surrounding it is the Lingxiao Sect, one of the nine major sects in this world.
After quickly reviewing the situation in Lingxiao City, 6058 pointed out: "Lingxiao City's location is somewhat special. Although there aren't many independent cultivators here, their strength is considerable."
[6058: Generally speaking, this outcome is likely related to the power struggles within the city itself.]
Jingli was, after all, an emperor, and he had considered this point in the very first thing 6058 said.
The area where spiritual energy gathers is only so big, and the closer you get to Lingxiao Sect, the more abundant the spiritual energy becomes.
At the same time, the number of disciples in the Lingxiao Sect is limited. Whether it's returning from training trips to exchange for resources or the resources needed by the Lingxiao Sect itself, the overall pool is fixed, and naturally, those with the strongest abilities will get them.
When an individual's ability is insufficient, even independent cultivators will band together due to different forces, whether based on martial prowess, financial resources, or personal connections.
This kind of thing is pretty much the same in any world.
[Jingli: We still don't know why Meng Li is here.]
After a moment's thought, 6058 confirmed with Lu Mingguang that there were no blessed lands about to open in the entire Lingxiao Sect and the vicinity of Lingxiao City.
If that's the case, Meng Li's visit here must not be for the "divine revelation" that Lu Mingguang mentioned when he approached her earlier.
6058 was pondering how to answer Jingli, but Jingli didn't seem to need his reply.
[Jingli: Mommy, I'll let you know if there's anything new. And you too, please be careful!]
6058 looked at the message and sighed with a smile.
He always seems to underestimate Jingli's ability to stand on his own.
"Zai Zai has already started working, let's also check which blessed lands have cracks."

On this side, Jingli had just finished replying to 6058 when she felt several gazes fall on her, each with a different emotion.
Based on the information just given by 6058, Jingli guesses that these people should belong to different groups.
Meng Li, who was covered up tightly, and Jing Li, who was particularly good-looking, were indeed very conspicuous in Lingxiao City, which had a relatively stable population, so it was no wonder that they attracted the attention of these people.
Among these wary or scrutinizing gazes, one stood out as quite different.
The gaze lingered for a long time, but it didn't stay on Meng Li for long. It only glanced at her at the beginning, and then kept its gaze on Jing Li.
His gaze was intense, not malicious, but revealing obvious interest.
Jingli couldn't help but turn her head to look back.
The owner of the gaze wore a long robe in a pale blue ink-wash style, and his black hair was neatly tied with a matching ribbon, giving him a vibrant look like springtime. However, his beautiful fox-like eyes made him appear somewhat frivolous.
Even when his eyes met Jingli's, the man neither looked away nor avoided it. He still covered the lower half of his face with his jade folding fan, his eyes smiling as he stared straight at Jingli, making no attempt to hide his interest in him.
The gaze did not make Jingli feel uncomfortable in the slightest. At the same time, the small piece of spring blossom that had been obediently placed on his hand began to gently move.
Jingli seemed to understand something. She glanced at the man again, then looked away, jogged a few steps, and caught up with Meng Li again.
With Meng Li's strength, she could perceive everything from the gazes of different forces to the brief flirtation between the two.
But she remained silent and headed straight for an inn.
After paying, we got two rooms with assigned numbers, which were equivalent to standard rooms. But perhaps because we were in the world of cultivation, the rooms were quite well furnished.
Before Meng Li entered the house, Jing Li asked, "Fairy, are we here to train?"
"No." Meng Li said these two words without emotion, and went into the house. Before closing the door, she looked up at Jing Li again, "You should cultivate here properly. Tomorrow we will set off for the Spirit Puppet Burial Tomb."
