Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 184 Knowing the Language of Flowers

"Senior Junchou, why are you here?"

Upon hearing Shen Yun's question, Jun Chou looked at him carefully before answering, "Because I am the spirit of that magical treasure hidden underwater."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun's eyes lit up: "A magic weapon's...spirit? Are you a weapon spirit?"

In the Realm of Return to Nothingness, magical treasures and spiritual artifacts can potentially nurture artifact spirits.

However, this process is extremely long and the conditions are very demanding. If you think about it carefully, there are very few magical treasures and spiritual artifacts that have been born with spirits in the entire Ten Continents and Three Islands. Many spirits can easily become immortals after years of cultivation.

Compared to creatures born from moisture and eggs, inanimate objects, mountains, and rivers are rare beings in the world. They are formed from the pure energy of heaven and earth, and almost instantly enter the realm of "immortals" once they gain sentience.

Therefore, although players have all heard of the existence of weapon spirits, none of them have ever seen one—not even the Guangcheng Sect has one, let alone the Taiyin Sect!

"Probably."

Junchou replied.

Shen Yun became even more excited: "So, you were coerced by the fox demon into being trapped here?"

Jun Chou frowned slightly and said, "Well... well, it can't be said that I'm wrong..."

Shen Yun immediately said happily, "Then I'll rescue you, senior!"

Jun Chou smiled and said, "I'm afraid that won't work."

"why?"

“You’ve already entered the barrier, and you won’t be able to get out easily,” Jun Chou adjusted his posture and looked at Shen Yun with a leisurely air. “This barrier is quite exquisite; it’s probably impossible to break through it without the cultivation of a Golden Core cultivator.”

Unexpectedly, Shen Yun confidently replied, "Only at the Golden Core stage? No problem!"

Jun Chou asked in surprise, "Oh? But you seem to have only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage?"

"But I can call for backup! Senior, you wait, I will definitely get you out of here!"

As Shen Yun spoke, he flew up and circled around, taking several screenshots of the stone island before sending them to the team chat channel. Then, he shouted in the team microphone, "I've found the source of the problem, and I've even discovered a spirit! But the problem now is that I'm trapped in the barrier. The spirit says that at least a Golden Core stage cultivation level is needed to break the barrier. Hurry up and bring Coral to help me!"

The team chat exploded immediately—

"Good heavens! A spirit artifact!?"

"Zun Du is fake! It's a spirit!"

"Is it beautiful? What kind of spirit is it? Is it male or female?"

"It's a woman! Look at that screenshot, it's clearly a woman! She's wearing a skirt!"

"Is it a guy? I can't see his chest at all!"

"But she's wearing a skirt!"

"Men can wear skirts too! Besides, aren't both men and women dressed like that in ancient costumes?"

Shen Yun coughed a few times in the group microphone, interrupting the speculation about the spirit's gender: "Cough cough cough! The spirit senior is male, he said his name is Jun Chou... But wait, why are you guys focusing on such an off-topic thing! I marked the group location on the map, come save me!"

"It's flying! It's flying!"

"I've reached a dead end. I have to go back and start over. I'll just have to wait a bit longer!"

"It seems like there's a fork in the road here that leads directly there!"

Amidst the commotion in the group microphone, Bai Chenxue and Lin Muning, who were closest, arrived first. Bai Chenxue, looking at Shen Yun's blurry figure in the distance, asked in the microphone, "Hey? We can't see you very clearly."

Shen Yun guessed, "It must be about the barrier. I saw Senior Jun Chou looking the same way before!"

Bai Chenxue asked eagerly, "Can we go in?"

Shen Yun asked speechlessly, "You two also want to be stuck here?"

"Anyway, Coral will come and remove the barrier soon! If all else fails, I'll just kill myself and go back! Come on, let's go inside and have some fun!"

As Bai Chenxue spoke, she pulled Lin Muning and rushed into the barrier.

A wisp of thick air brushed past their bodies, and the two passed through the barrier. Shen Yun's figure immediately returned to normal. He was sitting on a stone bench with a semi-transparent figure, seemingly chatting.

Bai Chenxue's eyes lit up as she approached the stone table and greeted, "This must be Senior Junchou, right? Hello, hello! I'm Chai Gou Cai Cai!"

Lin Muning suppressed the embarrassment of her toes digging into the ground and said hesitantly, "Hello, I'm the sensitive cockroach from Guangdong..."

"Hahahahahaha..."

Unexpectedly, Jun Chou laughed when he heard their IDs, as if he understood them, which made all three of them show the same bewildered expression.

As we all know, the NPCs in the game cannot understand the language of flowers, so they can only hear the translated meaning—this is a function that Fang Xianyu specially designed in the puppet's body, which is an application of a simple communication spell.

Just as a cultivator who has achieved a certain level of cultivation will not have difficulty communicating due to language barriers, as long as there are no deliberate restrictions, a cultivator can understand almost all languages, except for languages ​​that are completely irregular and extremely obscure—such as the Nine Nether Language.

However, this kind of understanding only refers to understanding the meaning of the words—this is the content "retransmitted" based on people's desires and emotions, rather than understanding specific words. This is why Fang Xianyu specifically designed the situation where, in a team setting, the names of specific player IDs are not translated.

Of course, when players say their own IDs, they also use a "transliteration".

Therefore, IDs like 【柴狗菜菜】 and 【广府感性cockroach】 sounded like nothing more than a string of strange syllables to the people and cultivators of the Guixu Realm, without any specific meaning. Naturally, this saved Fang Xianyu's face.

But at this moment, Jun Chou burst into laughter, and it took him a while to calm down before he said, "It's been a long time since I've had such a happy experience! The names you chose are really unique! Hahahaha..."

Bai Chenxue's eyes widened in surprise: "Huh!?"

Lin Muning was equally astonished; she was so surprised that she forgot her embarrassment and asked, "You know about cockroaches!?"

“I didn’t know that before, but I just found out a little bit,” Junchou said with a smile and a wink. “So now I not only know about ‘cockroaches’, but also about ‘Guangfu’.”

Junchou pronounced the words "cockroach" and "Guangfu" in perfect Cantonese, almost making the three of them drop their jaws in astonishment.

Shen Yun was the first to react, and he asked incredulously, "Senior, you... you can speak the language of flowers!?"

Jun Chou nodded slightly: "I can understand. Hmm... if you say a few more words, I'll be able to speak too."

"Oh my God!"

Bai Chenxue couldn't wait to start chattering: "Then let me say a few more words! Eight hundred soldiers rushed to the north slope, artillerymen ran side by side to the north, artillerymen... what was artillerymen again? Oh no! I learned this tongue twister in junior high school, I've completely forgotten it!"

Jun Chou waved his hand and said, "Haha, no need, no need. Actually, I should be able to learn it in a little while."

Bai Chenxue immediately gave a thumbs up: "Amazing! No wonder it's a spirit artifact!"

"This probably has nothing to do with the spirit of the artifact; it's just my own skill... well, my unique specialty skill."
