Cultivating Immortality Starts with Rubbing a Computer

Chapter 20 Red Cloud Sword Palace
After recognizing each other as senior sister and junior brother, the relationship between the two sides seemed to become closer.

However, Lei Pu still remained arrogant and did not show any respect to Fang Jun just because he was a servant.

You Zhimeng sent a telepathic message, "Don't mind, Junior Brother Fang. Lei Pu's original name is Lei Ming. He has dual spiritual roots and was originally an outer disciple of the Shanyue Sect. However, the Lei family has protected our You family for generations, so Lei Ming volunteered to be his servant."

"But remember, he is also an outer disciple of the Shanyue Sect, and even I have to respect his wishes."

This seemingly sincere and soothing explanation made Fang Jun feel cold all over.

If Fang Jun had not noticed the problem with the Jiuqiao Yunling Pill, he might have believed this statement without a doubt.

However, relying on the analysis of Yuanshen No. 2, Fang Jun had already sensed that there was a trace of imperceptible Nine-orifice Yunling Pill's energy in Lei Pu's breath.

This made him extremely wary of You Zhimeng's telepathic communication.

Why do monks choose to speak with their mouths even though they clearly possess spiritual consciousness, a tool that can quickly transmit information?

First, ordinary telepathic transmission is not much different from sound waves, both of which are wide-area, while point-to-point telepathic transmission requires the consumption of additional telepathic consciousness.

Secondly, the nature of spiritual consciousness itself determines that the more information transmitted, the greater the amount of spiritual consciousness itself.

This raises a question: How can you tell whether the other party is conducting a spiritual attack or truly transmitting sound?

Therefore, in most cases, monks still prefer to use their mouths to speak.

Fang Jun cautiously replied with his spiritual sense, "Geniuses have their own arrogance. I won't mind it."

……

During this period, a small incident happened.

The journey to Hongyun Sword Palace is long.

Fang Jun flew for half an hour and although he had traveled four hundred miles, his magic power was almost exhausted.

You Zhimeng invited Fang Jun to get in the carriage with a smile, but Lei Pu had a cold face and made it clear that if Fang Jun got in the carriage, he would be rude to him.

"If you dare to get on the master's carriage, even if you are the master's junior apprentice, I will definitely beat you severely."

You Zhimeng tried to persuade Lei Pu, saying, "Lei Pu, I've already told you not to be so overbearing. I'm not a mortal child, so why should I be so shy?"

Lei Pu said sternly, "It's not that I'm avoiding it, but my master is of noble status and cannot ride with me."

You Zhimeng had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. She took out a pill and handed it to Fang Jun, saying softly, "Junior Brother Fang, this pill can help you recover your magic power."

Fang Jun took the pill and thanked them respectfully. Under You Zhimeng's caring gaze, he pretended to take the pill, but in fact he secretly used the pill provided by the Fang family to restore his magic power.

In this way, everyone is satisfied.

……

Finally, after a day and a night, everyone arrived at the location of the Hongyun Sword Palace.

This place is 20,000 miles away from Beixin Town, but there is nothing unusual around it.

Surrounded by green mountains, clear waters and dense forests, although the scenery is beautiful, the spiritual energy is thin, no different from the mortal world. Logically, monks would not come here.

However, even in this area with thin spiritual energy, a large number of cultivators gathered in the sky.

They either rode the wind, or rode on the clouds, or sat in carriages, or rode on exotic beasts, all gathered here.

Seeing Fang Jun and You Zhimeng coming, some cultivators didn't care, some showed hostility, and only some cultivators nodded slightly.

A cultivator came forward, his cultivation level was the ninth level of Qi Refining. He said respectfully, "Senior Sister, you are finally here."

You Zhimeng's voice came from the carriage, with a hint of coldness: "Junior Brother He, I'm here."

Junior Brother He turned his gaze to Fang Jun and asked, "Who is this?" You Zhimeng said calmly, "This is Junior Brother Fang Jun. Junior Brother Fang, this is Junior Brother He Hui."

He Hui bowed to Fang Jun and said, "Are you the genius who has recently gained fame in Beixin Town? Then I'll leave this trip to Hongyun Sword Palace in your hands."

Fang Jun was puzzled: "Isn't Senior Sister You here? Why are you asking me for help?"

You Zhimeng was already at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Although her natal magic weapon hadn't been revealed, her cultivation had clearly reached perfection at the ninth level, and she was only one step away from foundation building. Regardless, it wasn't Fang Jun's turn to shoulder the responsibility.

You Zhimeng explained, "Junior Brother Fang, I forgot to tell you that the Red Cloud Sword Palace is protected by a formation. A person can only enter once in their lifetime. If you force your way in again, the power of the formation will increase dramatically. Lei Pu, Junior Brother He, and I have already been inside before."

Fang Jun frowned and said, "Even so, the Dahe Sect has many cultivators, and there are probably quite a few who have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. Why do they need me?"

He Hui took over the conversation: "That's why we have to take you as the main one. Do you know how to get the medicine in the Red Cloud Sword Palace?"

Fang Jun shook his head: "I don't know."

He Hui explained: "It's based on talent."

Fang Jun was puzzled: "Talent?"

He Hui: "Everyone is born with two talents: one is spiritual roots, and the other is understanding. If you have either of them, you can pass the test of the Red Cloud Sword Palace and gain opportunities."

Fang Jun: "Sword Palace? Sword Palace! I've been wondering for a long time. The secret realm is called the Sword Palace, and there are tests? Could it be that the Red Cloud Sword Palace is a place of inheritance built by cultivators? But why is it located in a place where the Heavenly Dao is flawed?"

It is not surprising that there are inheritances left by senior cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation.

The origin of many independent cultivators is that they have spiritual roots but have not been cultivated. After picking up the inheritance from their predecessors, they embark on the path of cultivation.

It's just that most independent cultivators are not very good at picking up the talent, so their future is limited. However, forces like the Dahe Sect, which have foundation-building cultivators, can obviously occupy a better inheritance, like the Red Cloud Sword Palace.

He Hui: "Maybe it's to prevent exhaustion of resources."

As they communicated, Fang Jun understood more and more.

There are three main forces occupying the Red Cloud Sword Palace, namely the Dahe Sect, Guantian Palace, and Yunyan Pavilion.

These three forces all have the power to build a foundation and cultivate great things. Although they are all subordinate to the Shanyue Sect, they are constantly fighting in private.

Moreover, due to the accumulated hatred over the years, the Dahe Sect and the Yunyan Pavilion have become enemies. Only the Guantian Palace is slightly neutral and is on good terms with both the Dahe Sect and the Yunyan Pavilion.

Therefore, when Fang Jun was collecting herbs, he must pay attention to Yunyan Pavilion.

Although the Red Cloud Sword Palace is not a secret place with scarce resources, the number of people who can collect herbs in each sect is limited.

Also, because there is a flaw in the way of heaven within the Red Cloud Sword Palace, the secrets of heaven are not revealed.

Even if something happened inside, it is difficult for outsiders to guess.

In order to prevent the conflict from escalating endlessly, the three sects have agreed to jointly develop and stop the disputes.

However, we should not have the intention to harm others, but we must be on guard against others. Suspicious cases have occurred in history.

Then, under the guidance of He Hui, Fang Jun met a group of monks from the Dahe Sect.

After that, he would wait in the sky during the day for the Red Cloud Sword Palace to appear in the daytime, and enter the palace opened up by the monks on the ground to meditate at night.

……

That night, Fang Jun was meditating in the palace.

Suddenly, a cold female voice came: "Junior Brother Fang, would it be convenient for me to come in and sit down for a while?"
