Chapter 230 Preparing to Spend the Night
The Paired Flight Saber Technique could be practiced by two people, each learning one path, and when the dual sabers were combined, their power was endless.
It could also be practiced by a single person learning both paths, and when the dual sabers were combined, their power was endless.
Li Chengxi was quite puzzled.
Since one person could achieve endless power, why was it necessary for two people to practice it?
Then, on second thought, he understood.
Oh, so it was a brutal blow to single people.
So, compared to one person practicing both paths, two people each practicing one path and combining their dual sabers also came with additional mental damage.
Speaking of which, this Thunder Mountain truly lived up to its name.
Martial arts secret manuals could be hidden anywhere, so it was no wonder everyone rushed over here.
Yang Yiyi seemed a little interested in the Paired Flight Saber Technique as well.
Since it was raining and there was nothing to do, studying it would be a good way to pass the time.
Li Chengxi put down the microphone and looked up, just in time to see Audel staring intently at him.
"Um... is there something dirty on my face?"
"No, were you just guiding a follower?"
"There's a bit of a difference, but it's more or less that."
To be honest, Yang Yiyi was pretty much a follower now, at a point where she would believe Li Chengxi even if he said the sun was green.
Upon getting this answer, Audel continued to stare at Li Chengxi without blinking.
"It shouldn't be Viola, right? From the conversation, I don't think she's that foolish."
Yang Yiyi took a critical hit from afar...
"And it sounds like she went on an adventure. None of the followers in the Leon Territory should have this planned. Who is this follower?"
Why did that sound like a wife who had caught her husband on the phone with another woman?
But then again, it was indeed a bit difficult for Li Chengxi to explain this matter, mainly because he didn't know how to explain that the game AAI had three scripts, and she was only from one of them.
"It sounds like a follower you value greatly. Is she far from Viola? Or have you established a new church somewhere else?"
Li Chengxi scratched his head.
"To put it simply, it's like another world outside of your world..."
This was a difficult explanation to convey, but Audel understood instantly.
"Oh, a follower in another plane. This is the first time I've heard of it. I always thought the faith of the Demon God had only ever spread within our plane."
Li Chengxi suddenly remembered Audel saying their world had more than one plane.
If he equated the concept of a plane with the scripts in the game, it seemed to become much easier to understand.
"Speaking of which, how many planes are there in your world?"
"Countless."
"Huh?"
"To be precise, no one knows how many planes there are. Interplanar travel is extremely difficult to begin with, and even a mage who spends their entire life traveling between planes will always encounter planes they have never been to. Even the most knowledgeable deity would be unable to answer this question."
This explanation, on the contrary, left Li Chengxi a little confused.
Audel thought for a moment and explained:
"Actually, each plane can be considered a planet, and not every plane is suitable for living creatures."
In that case, interplanar travel was equivalent to interstellar travel?
He remembered Audel had also said before that besides the Demon Race who were natives, all other races had migrated from other planes.
No wonder their appearances were so vastly different.
He had to admit, it was a magical world.
Although difficult, they could achieve interstellar travel, yet their level of social productivity was only at the standard of the Medieval Times to the Renaissance.
It really made one wonder how they allocated points on their technology tree.
But then again, Li Chengxi wasn't very interested in the other planes.
After all, he could only see three planes at most, and one was still locked.
Since the concept of a plane was similar to the scripts in the game AAI, it was much easier to explain.
Li Chengxi gave a rough account of Yang Yiyi's situation, and Audel commented:
"She sounds a bit like the combat professionals of our plane, but we don't have something like internal energy. The combat professionals here use an ancient energy called qi. Perhaps there are some similarities between the two..."
As she spoke, Li Chengxi saw Audel's eyes light up.
Even though the girl's face showed almost no emotional fluctuation, he could feel a sentiment of 'I'm very interested'.
She couldn't be thinking of going to Yang Yiyi's side to have a look, could she...
The heavy rain continued for nearly three hours before gradually subsiding.
Yang Yiyi set off on her journey toward Thunder Mountain once more.
Before, there had been other people nearby, but after this heavy rain, not a single person could be seen.
Only some muddy footprints could occasionally be spotted on the ground.
When the heavy rain fell, some people chose to find shelter nearby, while others continued onward in the rain.
After all, it only opened once every twenty years.
The earlier one got up Thunder Mountain, the slightly higher the chance of finding something good compared to others.
The heavy rain had scattered everyone.
Yang Yiyi felt a little uneasy, but the thought that Li Chengxi was always watching lessened this feeling of unease considerably.
Yang Yiyi was also here to find peerless martial arts and heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
She didn't stay idle as she walked in the direction of Thunder Mountain.
"This is Long Kui, it's especially good for treating bruises."
"This is Jing Tian, it can clear heat and detoxify."
"In that clump of grass is Xue Jian, and over there is Zi Xuan!"
Li Chengxi watched Yang Yiyi run back and forth on the screen, thinking to himself that these names sounded really familiar.
In fact, these were all medicinal herbs.
Long Kui and Jing Tian were relatively rare.
Xue Jian could be found by rummaging through the weeds by the roadside.
As for Zi Xuan, it sounded very high-class, but it was actually just daylily.
Yang Yiyi's family was poor.
When she was young, she didn't just run wild all over the mountains.
She would often gather some medicinal herbs on the mountain to help support her family.
Yang Yiyi had never seen any particularly valuable medicinal herbs, but she recognized all the common ones.
It was said that the quality of medicinal herbs near Thunder Mountain was better than those outside.
Yang Yiyi figured that she should forget about heavenly materials and earthly treasures for now.
Gathering some herbs to sell could also earn her some money, as her travel funds were now running quite low.
"Under that crack in the rock, yes, is that ginseng?"
"I think so, but it's probably a wild ginseng of about ten years."
Li Chengxi opened the attribute panel to check, and it was indeed a ten-year-old wild ginseng.
It was unlikely for medicinal herbs described as 'hundred-year' to appear at the foot of Thunder Mountain.
After all, it opened once every twenty years, so they would have long been picked clean.
Yang Yiyi moved quickly.
In no time, she had dug out the wild ginseng with her hands and placed it into the Sumeru Realm that came with the Jade Tablet.
Seeing that Yang Yiyi still wanted to continue, Li Chengxi quickly said:
"Stop digging, hurry up and find a place to spend the night."
It was already past noon when she arrived, and there had been a heavy downpour.
In a little while, the sun would begin to set.
If she waited until dark to find a place, it would be too late.
The faster people might have already climbed halfway up the mountain, but neither Yang Yiyi nor Li Chengxi was in a hurry.
Thunder Mountain was huge, and it wasn't a place that could be explored in just a few days.
It was only the first day.
If some people were willing to run up and scout the path, then let them.
Li Chengxi's only requirement for Yang Yiyi was safety first.
Any martial arts secret manuals or heavenly materials and earthly treasures were secondary.
"I'll take a few herbs to study."
"Okay, there are still plenty."
Actually, it wasn't Li Chengxi who wanted to study them, but Audel, who was extremely curious about these medicinal herbs.
