In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 131 Dragon Palace Banquet, Rakshasa Sea City
[Flying Bear in a Dream: Where did this idiot come from? Such a big mouth!]

Xie Lingxin's first live stream, and the first person to watch it immediately started swearing.

For the sake of money, he decided to endure it.

A flying bear enters my dream?

You think I'm arrogant? Aren't you afraid of getting struck by lightning with that name?
Xie Lingxin knew that there were many despicable people online, and she was too lazy to argue with them.

After waiting for a while, the bitch didn't get to see Xie Lingxin break down and lash out, and she also got bored, so she left.

The number of viewers in the live stream has dropped to 0 again.
"Ah……"

Shen Wen clearly saw it, chuckled, and turned back to his room.

Heh my foot!

Xie Lingxin herself also felt it was pointless, so she simply went back to her room, propped up her phone, and pointed it at her neck and below.

Begin entering a meditative state for spiritual practice.

The conscious mind sits peacefully on the small platform of the soul.

The sun and moon shine in the same sky, their cycles never ceasing.

Thunder rumbled faintly in the layers of clouds.

The monkey frolics in the Kanyuan Mountains.

The mysterious water flows out of the cave, flows downstream, gathers into a waterfall, and flows into Eagle's Sorrow Stream.

The white dragon coils in the ravine, swallowing and spitting out mysterious water to refine the yin impurities.

Everything was in perfect order, forming its own cycle.

Both sexual and physical cultivation are steadily and systematically increasing...

During this time, I also left the live stream and glanced at the chat room, but there was still no one there.

In a fit of anger, Xie Lingxin added a few words before her live stream name.

[Free Consultation: We know everything about ancient mythology and classical texts!]

Free stuff is always the best! I refuse to believe nobody wants that!

Then I ignored it and went back to meditation.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next day.

[Basic Concept: 1/1]

[Hitchhiking Post: 1/1]

[Summoning Spell: 1/1]

【Nine Peaks Style: 1/1】

【The Three-Five Evil-Slaying Sword: 1/1】

【Stepping the Divine Path: 1/1】

[Innate Mysterious Water Yin Thunder Diagram: 0.32/1 (↑0.11)]

[Sex: 100.26/1000 (↑0.15)]

[Life: 6.30/10 (↑0.70)]

Running the Innate Mysterious Water Yin Thunder Diagram once increases one's life cultivation by about 0.07, while running it four times with the previous Mountain Formation only increases it by 0.01.

The difference is twenty or thirty times!
This is still without a satisfactory outcome.

Running the hitching post twice resulted in a 0.01 increase in sexual function.

It is only about 5 times more efficient than the basic visualization method.

Now he finally understood the importance of the root quality that Jin Su had mentioned.

The difference between different grades of cultivation techniques is immeasurable.

I'm not bad at all; with my intermediate-level aptitude, I can at least cultivate the Ten Directions Grade cultivation methods.

I wonder how powerful cultivation techniques of the tenth grade or higher are?

Xie Lingxin thought of Chen Jinxin and suddenly understood why she was so abnormal.

It is estimated that her success is not only due to her family's resources, but also to her own innate talent and abilities, which are far beyond those of ordinary people.

Xie Lingxin touched her chin, deep in thought.

For me now, Shifangpin is enough.

That won't work in the future.

However, given his inherent limitations, according to the Federation, it is impossible for him to cultivate techniques above the tenth grade.

We need to pay attention to methods to improve our fundamental qualities.

Although Jin Su didn't say it explicitly, he could tell that the method definitely existed, but it would be very difficult.

Even the most difficult situation is better than having no hope at all.

"Ok?"

I reached for my phone, but when I saw the screen, I remembered that I was live-streaming.

Free is indeed the way to go.

Even though it was late at night, after I added the words "free consultation" to the live stream, quite a few night owls still came in.

Is this some kind of spiritual practice? It looks quite convincing, but the streamer seems very young; maybe they're asleep?

[Hey streamer, that's not how you do live streaming! If you don't have anything to show, you need to be good-looking, right? If you're not good-looking, you have to push the boundaries! Money isn't so easy to earn!]

[Wow, free consultation? This streamer is incredibly arrogant, did he not brush his teeth?]

Is the main package really free?

[Free yarn? Aren't there plenty of these attention-seeking guys out there? He dares to say it for free, but would you dare listen?]

[Hey, please be more polite. He's a certified registered religious leader.]

[It's probably fake. At the very least, they're using an adult's account to show off; they don't even dare to show their face.]

【…】

They all arrived in the middle of the night, and they were quite polite. It wasn't as bad as he had expected. Even when they questioned him, they were still quite restrained.

After all, they are all cultivators, so they probably aren't too brain-dead.

Moreover, being a certified guru makes people more restrained.

There are still a few people in the live stream room.

One of them is the one called "Flying Bear Enters the Dream".

He's the one who said he was just trying to attract attention and showing off by using his family's accounts; judging by the time, he just said it.

Xie Lingxin said directly, "Then do you dare to ask?"

[Flying Bear in a Dream: Oh ho? You dare to talk now? Gone with the pretense?]

[Flying Bear Enters Dream: Listen, this voice is clearly that of a child, am I right?] Even though she couldn't see the person or hear the voice, Xie Lingxin could feel the smugness of this scoundrel.

Xie Lingxin pouted.

In real life, I would definitely tear that jerk to shreds.

Forget about doing it online; it'll only make you angry and hurt your liver, and you can't really do anything about it through the internet.

"Ask me any questions you have, and I'll end the broadcast if I don't. Free consultation, anything related to ancient classics and history is welcome. This is a rare opportunity!"

Xie Lingxin originally wanted to end the broadcast immediately, but seeing that it was still early and she didn't have to go to work today.

Having streamed all night, I wasn't satisfied with having done nothing, so I decided to just hawk my wares.

Yesterday he went to Qixing College to complete the formalities, and now he is Professor Wen Yifu's student and part-time teaching assistant at Qixing College.

Fat Orange gave him a week of paid leave! According to the arrangements of Seven Star Academy, he will probably have to attend two more classes.

Today is only the first day of the holiday.

[Flying Bear in a Dream: Oh ho, you dare to challenge me! Come on, let's connect! I'll teach you a lesson, you pretentious brat!]

Xie Lingxin curled her lip and directly contacted this jerk: "Ask away."

Flying Bear Enters the Dream: "You really dare? Fine, don't say I'm bullying you, I won't ask any difficult questions. Isn't the Dragon Palace Banquet quite lively lately? That's all I'm asking."

The voice belonged to a man, and he sounded very young, probably around the same age as him.

Fei Xiong Ru Meng: "The Dragon Palace Banquet has been around for decades. The domain that it belonged to spent a lot of manpower and resources to decipher the ancient scripture and find the coordinates. That ancient scripture has been studied over and over again for decades."

Flying Bear Enters the Dream: "I'll just pick from the ancient scripture 'Rakshasa Sea City,' that's not bullying you, is it?"

[This netizen is quite shrewd. The Dragon Palace Banquet is considered relatively low-level among the Ten Directions Realm cultivators, but the ancient scripture "Rakshasa Sea City" is notoriously complex. Although it has been deciphered for many years, it is not actually fully deciphered. It is said that only about 70% has been restored, and there are still many unsolved mysteries.]

[It's not that I'm bullying anyone, the main character is just a kid, but you're really taking advantage of him.]

I love watching the guy bully the kid!

The few people in the live stream couldn't help but expose Fei Xiong Ru Meng's thoughts.

Xie Lingxin was amused.

He had originally planned to find time to learn about the "Dragon Palace Banquet," but after seeing so many of these posts, it was impossible not to be curious. He never expected someone to tell him directly.

Oh, so this is the article.

I'm familiar with this!

This article is from Pu Gong's "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio".

The story is roughly about the protagonist, Ma Ji, who sets sail and encounters a storm during his voyage, eventually drifting to the land of Rakshasa.

In the Rakshasa Kingdom, beauty and ugliness are reversed; ugliness is considered beautiful, and the uglier one is, the higher their status.

Ma Ji was handsome, but was regarded as a "monster".

In order to survive, he smeared his face with coal ash to make himself ugly, falsely calling himself "the ugly man of China," which made him popular in the country and even earned him an official position from the king.

Later, he wrote a poem called "The Upside-Down Ballad" to expose the absurdities of the Rakshasa Kingdom, which angered the powerful and nobles, and he was expelled from the country.

He accidentally entered the fairyland of the sea, which is also the location of the Dragon Palace. Because of his handsome appearance and outstanding literary talent, he was appreciated by the Dragon King and made his son-in-law, marrying the dragon girl Qiongying.

Although they became an inseparable couple, Ma Ji, longing for his hometown, earnestly requested to return home.

Upon returning to the human world, he discovered that a hundred years had passed, all his old friends had passed away, and only his old servant remained.

The treasures gifted by the Dragon Palace were bought by Persian merchants for a large sum of money, but he was ostracized by his neighbors because of his "different" status.

Ultimately, she was forever separated from the Dragon Goddess and could only hide away with her child, their fate unknown.

In a past life, this article was considered extremely satirical in "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio," with its various metaphors being sharp and cruel, making it a masterpiece.

However, the original text is relatively obscure, and it only became widely known because of a song with the same name.

It was during that time that he delved into the subject, reading the entire text more than once, and also becoming familiar with the various allusions within.

Now I can remember it clearly, without missing a single word.

"Just ask."

Xie Lingxin started to put on airs when she spoke, like a lonely master, and her words became concise.

If you don't show off now, when will you?

Fei Xiong entered the dream: "This ancient scripture is called Rakshasa Sea City. I'm asking about this name, child. Do you know what 'Rakshasa' means?"

That's it?

Xie Lingxin didn't even need to think: "That's a good question. Rakshasa, that sounds like our language, doesn't it?"

"Actually, no. This is a language from ancient mythology, a transliteration of Sanskrit, meaning 'evil spirit.' In this ancient scripture, it's the name of a country."

Ancient texts record that the people of the Rakshasa Kingdom have red hair and black faces, with beast teeth and eagle claws. They conduct markets at night and cover their faces during the day.

"Simply put, it's like a ghost, hence the name."

Holy crap, this main package is awesome!

[I've learned something new! I'm a student of ancient scriptures, and I've memorized the ancient scripture "Rakshasa Sea City" countless times, but I never knew that the characters 'Rakshasa' were transliterations!]

The main package contains some interesting items.

Fei Xiong Ru Meng's somewhat unconvinced voice rang out: "Nonsense, right? These ancient scriptures have been deciphered for so many years, and I've never heard of such a claim. You can't possibly say that you're better than all these masters of scripture studies, can you?"

Xie Lingxin shrugged: "There's nothing I can do if you don't believe me."

Fei Xiong Ru Meng: "You wait, I am a student of the Ancient Scripture Department of Seven Star Academy. I will ask the professor and then come back to slap you in the face!"

Xie Lingxin pouted: "Whatever."

At least they had some attitude; they knew to ask questions before contradicting themselves, and they didn't resort to unreasonable arguments.

However, there were fewer than five people in the live stream, yet he still managed to run into two students from the Ancient Scriptures Department. What a coincidence!

Flying Bear enters the dream: "No rush, I'll continue asking!"

Flying Bear Enters the Dream: "What does 'Going to the moon to see Chang'e, and visiting the empty cassia palace' mean? There's no dispute about this now, right?"

Xie Lingxin laughed: "Isn't your question too simple?"

He genuinely found it somewhat amusing.

To him, this kind of question was like a primary school student doing reading comprehension exercises.

Is this what the ancient classics study?
Flying Bear in the Dream: "Stop rambling and just get to the point!"

Xie Lingxin shook her head: "The literal translation is: Even a fairy like Chang'e lives alone in the moon palace."

"But if you want to truly understand it, you do need to have some knowledge of ancient mythology."

[Main package, tell us quickly!]

[That's interesting! Forget understanding, I was completely confused by the main package's explanation. What does "flying to the moon" mean? What is Heng'e? How could you translate it like that?]

The few people present seemed captivated by what he was saying and eagerly awaited to hear what he would say next.

After all, even a tiny bit of ancient mythology is something that cultivators in the Federation crave.
