My aunt, her face full of resentment, recounted what happened after she sent Su Yan to Yongle Academy.

That old devil's words were more eloquent than his singing. He said it was just a trip to Xia Yu City for spring outings and training. But after the parents sent their children there, they received a handwritten letter from Grand Tutor Jin explaining the situation.

The story of Xia Yu going on a spring outing is a lie. The students of the academy are now heading to the remote and impoverished areas of Xia Yu's territory, where they need to use their wisdom to deal with the local bullies and unruly people.

No one will die, but parents may need to be prepared for the possibility of missing limbs, since the focus of the academy's field trip is on training, not just enjoying the scenery.

"Life here is alright. Everyone gets along well, and we haven't encountered any unreasonable and domineering rural bandits or bullies."

Su Yan lay on her aunt's lap, recounting her experiences in the flower market with a relaxed expression.

"Although we can't afford eight dishes and a soup yet, we have some spare money in our pockets that we can use for investment. I believe that in the near future, our group's meal standard will be upgraded from four dishes and a soup to nine dishes and a soup, and each person will also receive a pill after each meal for cultivation."

The aunt slowly typed a question mark, her face full of unspoken words regarding Su Yan's surreal experience.

Although the border regions of Xia Yu were rather chaotic, Su Yan and his companions had far too many experiences.

Upon taking office, he encountered the looting and invasion of the Spring Festival, and then immediately ran into Bai Ze going berserk. In between, he went to the countryside to investigate cash crops and think about how to develop new economic growth points in the flower area. He also earned 1,000 catties of spirit stones from scratch, with each person earning 200 catties.

What an unlucky little guy! His experiences in just half a month are more extensive than some people's experiences over several years.

Moreover, seeing Su Yan's matter-of-fact expression, as if he felt his experience was normal, Auntie opened and closed her mouth several times as if she wanted to say something, but couldn't bear to speak.

This group of people was incredibly unlucky.

"."

The healer beside him shook her head and sighed silently at what Su Yan had gone through.

Sometimes, knowing too many highly skilled cultivators isn't necessarily a good thing.

Su Yan's spring outing and training was arranged by the Grand Tutor. As the Grand Tutor of the Xia Yu Dynasty, Grand Tutor Jin was extremely knowledgeable about the internal and external affairs of the dynasty. He had accurately predicted that a war would break out in the Red King Territory soon, which is why he sent Su Yan and his party here.

A nine-tailed fox bloodline, the daughter of the Xuan King, a member of the Feng clan, a descendant of the royal family, plus his own closed-door disciple—such a luxurious and comprehensive training team—no cultivator would believe it wasn't deliberately arranged by Grand Tutor Jin.

Such a luxurious and comprehensive lineup naturally requires corresponding high-intensity pressure.

Otherwise, there would be no point in undergoing training.

The conflict between the Crimson King and the three Earth Immortals, as well as the Southern Frontier, shifted from a covert struggle to an open confrontation, which happened to affect Su Yan and her group, who had only recently arrived in the Flower District.

Although Bai Ze's attack on the Crimson King's Mansion was sudden, it was secretly orchestrated by a powerful figure; otherwise, the auspicious beast Bai Ze would not have attacked innocent creatures without reason.

The good intentions of seniors towards juniors may not be a good thing for juniors who are not yet capable.

If you inadvertently get caught up in the schemes of those old devils, and you don't have a smart enough brain, courage, or cultivation level, you'll at least lose a lot of skin, just like if the Fairy Healer hadn't laid a hidden hand beforehand on the night of the invasion of Southern Xinjiang.

Su Yan and his group would then have to face the battlefield head-on, fighting to the death against the cavalry who had formed battle formations and the wedding dress puppets.

Sometimes, knowing too many highly accomplished and unfathomable seniors is not a good thing. You may not be able to bear the heavy burden of their care and concern.

Nine out of ten geniuses in the world are monsters who crawled out of the mire of scheming old devils; to be alive is to be a genius.

"By the way, Auntie, what are you doing here?"

After catching up with her aunt, Su Yan suddenly remembered an important question and asked it in surprise.

"Have you forgotten? You sent a letter to both me and Zou Tong. That big cat has been staying in Auntie's cultivation room to enjoy the warmth lately. When Auntie saw you say that you suddenly had a dream that came true, she packed a few things and came over to see you."

My aunt shook her head and said, "The boy checked and found no trace of sorcerers or possession techniques. The immortals in the dream either entered the dream intentionally or there are some old, immortal graves under your government office."

The fairy sister in his dream was someone Su Yan didn't know was invited by Grand Tutor Jin when he first wrote the letter, which is why he wrote the letter to the boy.

Although the misunderstanding was later cleared up, the letter had already been sent to the cargo ship and could not be retrieved.

"Anyway, it's harmless to you for now, but your aunt doesn't recommend that you deliberately look for that person." Your aunt continued, "If it's a kind person who entered the dream but didn't leave their name, it means they don't want you to look for them. If it's not a kind person who entered the dream, then it means there might be a cultivator's tomb underground in Flower City."

"Do you know why cultivators build tombs? And why they build them in the densely populated cultivation world?"

The aunt looked at Su Yan with a serious expression and asked.

"Uh"

Su Yan honestly shook his head to express his confusion. If it were simply about burial, his aunt would not have asked him so seriously. Clearly, his knowledge of burial did not match his aunt's expectations.

“If cultivators really want to be laid to rest, they usually live in the starry sky if conditions permit, where the space is vast and they will not be disturbed.”

The aunt deliberately lowered her voice and slightly released her demonic power to create a sinister feeling for Su Yan, saying:

"There are generally only two types of people who, instead of choosing to sleep under the stars after death, choose to build a tomb in the cultivation world or transform their cave dwelling into a tomb!"

"One type is cultivators who had no ties in life, or who met with misfortune and were about to die, but did not have time to pass on their lineage. Although you can obtain their inheritance by entering their tombs, you will also be slightly brainwashed and inherit their karma."

"If you inherit something good, that's fine. But if you inherit the karma of some madman, hehehe, you can just wait to be insolvent and hacked to death by cultivators!"

Auntie chuckled twice, then suddenly pinched Su Yan's bottom with both arms, startling Su Yan who was listening intently to the story. Su Yan jumped straight onto the table.

"Auntie!"

Su Yan glared at her aunt with displeasure, but her aunt waved her hand dismissively and said, "Just listening to a story without feeling the atmosphere isn't enough. Now that your aunt has suddenly startled you, do you feel like you're actually there?"

"Telling ghost stories? And making it feel like you're actually there?" Su Yan thought to herself with a look of dissatisfaction.

"Digging up tombs is no different from ghost stories," the Fairy Doctor suddenly interrupted Su Yan, saying, "Because... what your aunt just said was all good."

"The worst-case scenario is that the tomb's occupants are not actually dead. They are slumbering inside the tomb, waiting for an opportunity to be resurrected. During this long wait, they will use their divine sense to bestow small favors upon outsiders, luring cultivators inside."

"Be very careful if you encounter anyone who offers to teach you cultivation methods or secret techniques!"

The Fairy Healer added to her aunt's statement, mentioning two possibilities: cultivators who might build tombs in the cultivation world.

One type is the cultivator who seeks out a destined person over time to pass on their lineage.

One type is those who did not completely die out, but for some reason hid in the tomb to prepare for possession.

The aunt wasn't joking with Su Yan; these were all burial customs from the cultivation world.

Ordinary cultivators live in the starry sky to ensure they are not disturbed. Only those cultivators who still have unfulfilled desires and die with regrets will transform their cave dwellings into eternal tombs in the cultivation world.

I went to pay my respects at the grave this morning and didn't have time to update. As a result, the mountain was closed, and the grave was only 200 meters away from me.

Then, we went around a mountain and climbed up, and after sweeping the tombs, we climbed to the other side of the mountain before finally coming down. It was absolutely ridiculous; what should have been a few hundred meters of walking took us several kilometers to circle around, and then we walked several kilometers of extremely slippery mountain paths.

I'd also like to recommend a book by a friend.

It's possible that it's from Sanjiang, so the quality should be guaranteed.

........................

All I want is to stay with my warm family and quietly be a laid-back landlord.

But some things are unavoidable, and some people are unstoppable.

Beautiful lady, don't get too close to me, I'm nervous.

"In short, the most important thing to do in the cultivation world is to stay out of other people's business after confirming that you are harmless. Things that don't concern you are always a good thing!"

With a look of complete certainty, the aunt concluded that Su Yan had learned magic in his dream.

Su Yan either bumped into a good person, or the government office was corrupt and he was possessed by evil spirits. In any case, let bygones be bygones and don't delve any further to avoid uncovering a series of nonsensical things!

My aunt is a very reliable person when it comes to insects; she never does anything that would shorten her lifespan.

"Alright, you've been sleeping for days. Let me take you out to get something to eat!"

After the matter was over, Auntie picked up Su Yan, who had just woken up, and prepared to take Su Yan to the Red King's Mansion for a good meal with a big smile on her face. Look, the little fox was so hungry that his stomach was not fluctuating at all.

Life on this border is tough; you can't even afford a simple meal of eight dishes and a soup a day.

It wasn't even as good as the days in the brothel. Because of the large number of people in the brothel, Su Yan usually had a dozen or twenty dishes for lunch and dinner, plus three kinds of soup with different ingredients, which were delicious and tasty.

Unexpectedly, after becoming a county magistrate, life became more and more like a dreg. There were four dishes for each meal, and the meal standard was for five people. If it weren't for the title of county magistrate, Su Yan's aunt would have really thought that Su Yan had traveled all the way here to be imprisoned.

"Ok?"

When Su Yan came out of the dormitory, she thought she would see Jiao Nanwu or Zou Tong, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. However, she did not expect to run into Lian Qi, who had been slapped in the face by Bai Ze not long ago and was sent spiraling out of his chest and crashing into the Chi Wangfu's protective formation.

Lian Qi lay shirtless on the lawn, his eyes slightly vacant as if he were thinking about something. His streamlined muscles were fully exposed, and his dark skin made his abs shine.

The white bandages on his body completely disrupted the harmony of Lian Qi's smooth figure, instead adding two streaks of paint that were hard to look away from.

"Lian Qi, a member of the Tengu clan."

Su Yan stared at Lian Qi and looked him over. Lian Qi naturally noticed the little guy that Chong Qiong was holding in her arms and gave him a brief self-introduction.

"Don't be surprised that I'm here; I'm just recuperating here temporarily."

From Su Yan's questioning gaze, Lian Qi understood what Su Yan wanted to ask and gave an answer.

Then, Lian Qi turned his gaze to Chong Qiong, but his aunt waved her hand and said, "Aren't you tired of asking? I'm already tired of explaining. I've said that if we don't know where the big fox is, we don't know where the big fox is!"

"Didn't you say you didn't care? You said it would be shameful to go out and train with female beasts, and you didn't want to go. You wanted to wander the world with your cronies. Now you regret it and want to come back?"

"Uh"

Lian Qi, who had been lying sprawled out, was scolded by his aunt. His face filled with sorrow, he covered his head and sighed, saying, "Who isn't reckless in their youth? Alone I bear my weariness, alone I carry the burden, a pot of wine to break my heart."

"Don't try that on me. In Xia Yu territory, someone like you who covets another man's wife will be paraded through the streets," Auntie scolded irritably.

"Auntie, what's going on here?"

Su Yan looked on with curiosity, glancing back and forth between Lian Qi and her aunt, clearly very interested in her mother's youth.

"Remember, this is just a stupid dog!"

My aunt pointed at Lian Qi and began to scold him without any politeness: "That big idiot has had a crush on my best friend since he was a child. Back then, after we graduated from the academy, according to tradition, we were required to travel. I intentionally or unintentionally tried to match him with Su Qing, and even went out of my way to invite this idiot to travel with us!"

"As a result, this big idiot dog, with a smug look on his face, put his hands on his hips and said something about not wanting female beasts to accompany him, as it would be a loss of face. He was preparing to do something great with his brothers, leading the demon race to conquer human territory and flatten the endless sea!"

My aunt couldn't stop talking about that stupid dog; she was practically ready to poke Lian Qi's cheek and yell at him.

She was very optimistic about this couple at the time, and even took the initiative to act as a matchmaker for this taciturn and silly dog.

As a result, the silly dog ​​didn't take it seriously at all and even misunderstood his good intentions.

"They're already married and have laid eggs, and this idiot only comes to ask me how to fix it? Why don't you wait until they're buried together before asking me what to do!"

The aunt got angrier and angrier as she talked. After putting Su Yan down, she went up and kicked Lian Qi, who was curled up, twice.

"You stupid dog, you're really something else! What can we do? Ask your ancestor to arrange a marriage for you! You're always coveting other people's wives, how despicable is that!"
