183: Chapter 181: Below the City Gates 183: Chapter 181: Below the City Gates Fang Geyu looked at him with disgust as if seeing something filthy, yet she still deliberately sought to annoy others. She came over, patted his shoulder with insincere concern, “Throwing up so much, you get used to it, you see. How can you endure looking so frail? The journey isn’t long, just a matter of three to five days. It’s a good opportunity to cure your motion sickness.” The young lady who never forgot a grudge was holding onto her anger from the last time he vomited blood all over her. Today, she seized the opportunity to taunt and mock him relentlessly. Lin Yuan glared at her fiercely and said, “What do you mean get used to throwing up? He lives on blood, and once the blood is vomited out, won’t he die?!” Fang Geyu gave her a sidelong glance—her apple finished. The charcoal grill set up early nearby was emitting waves of appetizing scent. She picked up the golden chopsticks and started to turn the sizzling grilled meat, sticking out her little tongue and saying, “With little Yuan’er here, how could he bear to die.” So smug. A smugness that deserved a smack. Lin Yuan clenched her fist tightly, watching the cunning little vixen devouring her grilled meat and sipping wine with great satisfaction. She suddenly smiled and said, “That’s true, the pot will keep the blood contained nicely. When hungry, he can take a few sips and then continue vomiting, and after vomiting, keep drinking. Like this, he shouldn’t have too hard a time arriving safely in Xianling City.” The chopsticks heading towards the grilled meat in her mouth suddenly stiffened. Fang Geyu turned pale, imagining the scene, and felt so nauseated she couldn’t help but retch. Finally, she couldn’t eat anything. Three days later. Auspicious clouds descended from the Nine Heavens, billowing clouds and driving winds carried heavy snow, and nine snow-white unicorns tread the clouds for tens of thousands of miles, arriving faintly at Cangyun State. In the dense night, stars drew trails. From the east, a huge moon rose, its radiant light nearly filling half the sky. In the moonlight’s glow, one could clearly see the huge mountain ranges marking the end of Kuanglang Prairie. Within the continuous mountain range, one could spot ancient cliffs, hear the sound of thousands of pine waves against the heavenly wind, and see a long river of lights stretching miles away, like stardust falling into the Mortal World. The magnificent towering ancient city, nestled in the vast endless mountains, was the legendary everlit ancient Immortal City. The vast mountain ranges, the vast Immortal City, were the destination for countless people seeking their fate in the way of immortals. The wilderness was desolate, but the ancient city bustled with life. In that world illuminated by moonlight, the sky and the earth seemed to merge into one, and the Immortal City and the wilderness blended seamlessly together, without a trace of awkwardness. Three people and a rabbit got off the carriage, all looking listless and devoid of energy. Baili An slumped over Lin Yuan’s shoulder, his body withered. He held a sleeping rabbit in his arms, too weak even to lift a finger. Baili An had vomited for three days until there was nothing left in his stomach and then began dry heaving, his cries of distress so intense that even Fang Geyu had lost her appetite. A cultivator who had not yet broken through to the Sea Expansion Realm would struggle with fasting as they needed food to sustain their life. And, as it turned out, motion sickness was contagious. After being provoked by Lin Yuan’s repeated blood drinking stunts, something formidable seemed to awaken inside Fang Geyu. She, too, had successfully been knocked off course by motion sickness. While not as severe as Baili An, she also lacked all energy. Over the three days, except for drinking a bit of water, she had not eaten a grain of rice. The pampered young lady was unaccustomed to such hardships. As soon as she got off the carriage, she clutched her stomach and squatted down on the ground to take deep breaths. Lin Yuan settled Baili An comfortably on the dewy meadow, fed him a few mouthfuls of fresh blood, then took out a clean handkerchief, soaked it with water, and gently laid it on Baili An’s face. She asked softly, “Si Chen, we are here now, do you feel any better?” The breathless Baili An, who didn’t need to breathe, took meaningless gasps; lying on Lin Yuan’s legs, he waved his arms weakly, unable to speak. Suddenly, four shadows appeared on the ground. The rustle of footsteps broke the silence of the night as a man’s voice said, “Third Miss, we’ve been waiting for you for quite some time.” The four bathed in moonlight—three men and one woman—were all dressed in uniform white robes, the cuffs embroidered with patterns of frosty pine and white cranes. All four had impressive cultivation levels and did not bother to hide their aura; they stood before Fang Geyu with respectful expressions, openly revealing their Sea Expansion Realm cultivation. The Sea Expansion Realm; in any given region, these would be extraordinary cultivators hidden within secret mountains, with the strength to withstand the forces of thousands of armies in the Mortal World. There are four realms in the mortal world: Seeking Tao Realm, Chengling Realm, Sea Expansion Realm, and Dao Realm. Although these four minor realms were unable to escape the fate of the Mortal World, the differences between them were as vast as the gap between heaven and earth. The Seeking Tao Realm was the first realm of the mundane world, where one tempered bones and sinews, cleared the mind and calmed the spirit, enhancing the physique to transcend ordinary Martial Artists. Sinews and physical bodies could touch the subtle Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth for refining and tempering the body but found it difficult to contain Spiritual Power within. The Chengling Realm, the Second Realm of the mundane world, involved opening the Spirit Mansion to draw Spiritual Power into the body, connecting with the spiritual nodes of the heavens, and storing Spiritual Power. Once someone reached the Chengling Realm, even though they were not free from the mortal coil, their bodies could contain Spiritual Power, extending their lifespan and vitality. They could kill and manipulate objects with the force of Spiritual Power and carry themselves aloft. Cultivators of the Chengling Realm generally had a life limit of around two centuries. The Sea Expansion Realm was about expanding the body’s limits, completely transforming the physique, relying on the energy of earth and celestial bodies, officially preparing for the day of breaking out of the chrysalis and spreading wings to soar. Their lifespan was generally up to three centuries, and they could also ingest Spiritual Objects to strengthen their bodies and extend their lifespan. The Seeking Tao Realm and the Chengling Realm were natural thresholds. By glimpsing the secrets of the heavens and breaking through that soft yet resilient barrier, one could naturally advance. But the Sea Expansion Realm was quite different. It was a crucial stage for transformation from the mundane to the spiritual, forming a chrysalis. In various nations of the Mortal World, countless geniuses nurtured by the Immortal Sects were stopped before this barrier. Without exceptional Spirit Roots, extraordinary wisdom, and an extremely hard-working will, coupled with indispensable luck, one could advance and expand the sea within. The Sea Expansion Realm was already considered the pinnacle of the Mortal World. But now, the four individuals kneeling humbly before Fang Geyu were all from the Sea Expansion Realm. Moreover, they appeared quite young, which suggested they were all extraordinary geniuses. The man who spoke, clearly their leader, was tall and handsome, appearing to be about thirty, but his actual age of bone was undoubtedly not as young as he appeared. Fang Geyu’s gaze, vacant for a while, slowly regained focus as she said, “Ah, so it’s you guys.” All four were from Shifang City, guards of Tiangge City, and fellow sect brothers and sisters. The man with the leading presence was called Chai Ye, and the other three: Ming Yuanji, Li Beifeng, An Siqi. Chai Ye said warmly, “Third Miss, you look unwell. Could it be that you are uncomfortable? I have a Three Pure Ones Green Pill with me that can restore one’s vitality. If Third Miss needs it…”
