The stolen magic is a bit magical

Lin Xiaosu sighed softly: "How come I didn't know that the people of the three upper sects had some complaints about me? But, on the third day of the third month, there will be a great change. I need the power of Kun Cang. If I don't join Kun Cang, who will?"

“If you only need some strength, you don’t actually need to go to Kuncang!” Xiang Yixiu said, “Just send a message inside and ask Shenghua Valley, Chunshui Palace and Li Palace to send some people out.”

"It's not that simple!" Lin Xiaosu said, "What I need are Enlightenment Realm experts emerging from seclusion! And I need as many Enlightenment Realm experts as possible!"

Xiang Yixiu was greatly surprised...

Even Ding Ruoshui, who had been following him the whole time, was taken aback.

He never said he entered Kun Cang; he was asking Wu Jing to come out of the mountain.

"In this world, what good is it for those at the Enlightenment Realm to emerge? They can't unleash their full combat power." Xiang Yixiu said, "And within Kun Cang, if the Enlightenment Realm experts from these three major forces were to leave the mountains, their backyards would surely be engulfed in flames, and their centuries-old foundations would be completely destroyed!"

“You have two questions!” Lin Xiaosu said, “The first question is whether a person at the Enlightenment Realm can unleash their full combat power after leaving the mountain. Right now, they can’t! But after the third day of the third month, that may change!”

Xiang Yixiu was stunned...

Will the folded space really open on the third day of the third lunar month?

Will the laws of this world truly change?

How can we transform this degenerate age into a living space suitable for enlightenment?
Has the world's fundamental rules been fundamentally changed just like that?
Lin Xiaosu said, "The second question is whether our friendly Wujing sect will face trouble if they leave Kuncang! If I don't go to Kuncang, trouble will definitely break out in our backyard! This is precisely why I must go to Kuncang."

Xiang Yixiu let out a deep breath: "Your purpose in entering Kuncang this time is to truly annihilate the three upper sects?"

"Whether we annihilate them or not depends on how obedient they are. If they are willing to change their ways, it may not be impossible to keep them. But if they still don't know when to stop, with a formidable enemy at hand, we, the saintly white lotus, will not tolerate them!"

Xiang Yixiu said, "I can't persuade you anymore."

"You didn't need to try to persuade me in the first place!"

"Go ahead, when faced with a desperate situation, why not tell those high and mighty big shots one thing: if you lose your life, I will definitely apply to Qianlong to prepare a hundred nuclear bombs for this land of Kuncang! Since no one wants to live anymore, then none of us should live!"

Lin Xiaosu smiled: "Professor, for the first time in my life, you have given me the feeling of being a comrade-in-arms."

"Get lost! Stop being so self-righteous!" Xiang Yixiu said, "I, a professor, have become a doorman who has lost all manners. Isn't that all because you led me astray?"

"You can leave! I'll accept being led astray! But I really won't take the blame for losing all civility, that's your natural disposition..."

He stretched out his hand and pointed a finger at the array platform.

With a flash of light, Lin Xiaosu and Ding Ruoshui appeared in the vortex.

Inside the whirlpool, he turned back and smiled slightly: "Professor, just a reminder, you should take out and wash that pair of underwear you've rolled up in the third layer of your blankets..."

Then disappear.

Xiang Yixiu's eyes widened: "What underwear?"

The female graduate student's face turned bright red: "He...wasn't he just out having tea? How did he know I rolled my underwear into the blankets?"

"Damn it!" Xiang Yixiu exclaimed, "You used your detective skills on me! You bastard, if you don't get beaten to a pulp for coming to Kun Cang, it's absolutely outrageous!"

A flash of light appeared behind Lin Xiaosu, as if he had stepped off the stone wall and reappeared in Kuncang.

Upon entering Kuncang, Lin Xiaosu took a deep breath and sensed the unique energy of heaven and earth in Kuncang.

Yes, he couldn't feel it before, but now he can.

As Kun Cang inhaled the primordial energy of heaven and earth into his nasal cavity, his blood tower spun, becoming noticeably lighter.

This is the difference in the primordial energy between the two worlds.

Leaving the city and entering the first city of Kuncang, it was not much different from the usual one, with wooden buildings standing in rows, antique and full of ancient charm.

Of course, there are also minor differences.

The three elders stood up in front of the stone wall.

They belonged to Shenghua Valley, Chunshui Palace, and Li Palace, respectively.

They are able to stay here and receive the respect of the major powers in Kuncang because of Lin Xiaosu.

Lin Xiaosu gave them this power.

Qianlong only accepts recommendations from these three forces, which has elevated the status of these three forces. For more than a year, disciples from various forces in Kuncang have had to show them respect whenever they need to leave seclusion; otherwise, they will be vetoed.

We should never forget those who dug the well when we drink the water.

As Lin Xiaosu entered Kuncang, the three top elders stood up in unison, came before him, and bowed with smiles, saying, "Young Master Lin!"

"Young Master Lin!"

"Young Master Lin, it's been a year since we last met, and you're even more charming than before!"

Lin Xiaosu bowed deeply to the three top elders: "Thank you for your hard work in guarding this place!"

"Bearing the hopes of the sect, and undertaking this beneficial act, how dare we complain of hardship?" The three elders were very modest: "What does the young master wish to do? Why not tell us, perhaps we can do it for you."

"I dare not trouble the three elders. I intend to go to Chunshui Palace to escort this young lady back to her sect," Lin Xiaosu said.

"This old man will escort the young master and Miss Ding back to their sect," said the fourth elder, a top-ranking elder of the Spring Water Palace.

This top elder, who was previously ranked outside the top thirties, was promoted to the fourth elder after the Chunshui Palace incident, when seven or eight of the top elders of Chunshui Palace died and a large number of others were purged. Naturally, he was quite loyal to Li Chunshui.

She was also a beneficiary of the Spring Water Incident that day. "Very well!" Lin Xiaosu no longer declined.

The Fourth Elder gave instructions to the other two elders, then got up and led Lin Xiaosu and Ding Ruoshui through the bustling market ahead. There were Chunshui Palace's private boats near the south gate of the city.

The three of them walked through the bustling city.

The sight of the restaurants on both sides seemed to stir up an unnamed ripple.

"Is this person Lin Xiaosu?"

“It was him! I saw him with my own eyes that day.”

"He turned Kuncang upside down, yet he still dares to enter Kuncang. Does he really think the three top sects have no temper?" someone whispered.

"They must be a little scared, otherwise, they wouldn't have needed a top elder from the Spring Water Palace to personally escort them."

"Spring Water Palace, Flower Valley, Departure Palace—they're really going to follow him down this dark path," someone sighed.

"The conflicts and alliances in the martial world are all about seeking fame and fortune. These three sects have tasted the sweetness of success. In the past year, they have controlled the gateway to Kun Cang and their word is law in Kun Cang. How could they possibly give up their current advantages?"

"There's an old saying in the world: if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Placing yourself in the eyes of the three major sects means you have to bear the risks yourself. Of the disciples who have recently left these three sects, very few have returned alive, have they?" A voice drifted over...

These words came from every nook and cranny of the restaurants along the way.

In a private room of a restaurant in front of Lin Xiaosu, a window was slightly ajar. A beautiful woman stood up and quietly watched Lin Xiaosu walk over through the crack.

Her face was a mask of ever-changing emotions.

Beside her was another person, dressed like a young nobleman from ancient times, holding a folding fan, exuding a dashing and elegant air.

If Lin Xiaosu saw them, she would sigh and say, "What a small world!"

Because these two people were his former companions.

On the day she entered the Misty Road, Lin Xiaosu had a particularly deep impression of three people.

One is Dawa, two is Hoover, and three is Li Sisi.

The beautiful woman in the restaurant is Li Sisi.

And this young master was Hoover.

Li Sisi's appearance in the team that day, in Lin Xiaosu's words, was that of a standard beauty, conforming to all the world's definitions of beauty.

Her face is fair and clean, her facial contours are beautiful, her lips are full, her breasts are firm, and her body is S-shaped.

Hoover also fits the entire persona of a free-spirited and unconventional individual.

He keeps claiming to possess Buddhist roots, yet these "Buddhist roots" always seem to be extended inappropriately towards single female tourists...

Even such practices, so contrary to Buddhist norms, have a Buddhist explanation in his mind: it's to comfort their loneliness; his promiscuity isn't promiscuity, it's to save all sentient beings... oh no, it's to save girls.

“My old companions have really come!” Li Sisi said, “I must say, you do have some judgment.”

Hoover laughed: "These bumpkins here don't understand the techniques of modern negotiation, but do you and I? Show your opponent strength first, and you can only sit down and talk once you have leverage."

This may be why the two of them are quite close.

Because both of them are outsiders, their thinking is naturally similar, and there is no generation gap in their ideas.

In addition, Hoover was already one of Li Sisi's suitors. In the eyes of the outside world, there were many other outstanding modern men. Despite Hoover's clear pursuit, she was quite reserved and rejected him many times on the road to the smoky world.

But here, Lin closed the door, and the two of them became like caged birds, with no modern people around them anymore, and the two modern souls slowly drew closer.

Although Li Sisi has not yet slept with him, their relationship is no different from that of a normal couple.

The real reason Li Sisi didn't sleep with him wasn't because she was particularly self-respecting. The key reason was that she was from Tianyan Palace, and she had learned a lot about the ways men and women interact from there. She knew that for a man whose only goal was to sleep with her, the most effective way to keep him interested was to prevent him from actually having sex with her. Once he did, he would lose interest, and then what would she use to seduce this special disciple who was highly valued by the higher-ups of Sanfo Temple?
Li Sisi's beautiful eyes flickered slightly: "Your Sanfo Temple is planning to talk to him?"

Hoover laughed: "Talking to him, the final result is already on the table, which is to obey the rules of the outside world. Think about it, my masters, they even scorn the rules of the secular world, would they obey the rules of Qianlong? So..."

"So, instead of talking, we're going to have a showdown?"

“There’s an art to a showdown!” Hoover picked up his glass and took a sip. “However, his entry into Kuncang this time presents a good opportunity for a showdown… Perhaps your Tianyan Palace could…”

Lin Xiaosu suddenly stopped on the street below.

His gaze turned to the left.

To the left was a brothel. On the upper floor, two women leaned against the railing. One of them gently waved a handkerchief down, accompanied by a soft voice: "Young master, would you like to come up and have some fun?"

Another woman covered her face with a handkerchief and giggled.

Lin Xiaosu stared at the woman, seemingly captivated.

Ding Ruoshui wanted nothing more than to kick him so hard he'd fall face-first into the mud...

You bastard, you did it to me four times last night, weren't you satisfied yet?

If you want to, go back to Chunshui Palace, it's not like we won't get it for you...

You've taken a fancy to this ordinary-looking woman? What does she have to offer?
However, with the Fourth Elder present, she couldn't really show off, so she could only use telepathy to ask, "What? Interested in going upstairs to have some fun?"

"Hmm." (End of Chapter)
