Song Yan was lying down when he suddenly heard footsteps outside his cave mansion. Without using his divine sense, he raised his eyes to look and saw a cultivator in blue robes appear outside the restraint.
This cultivator was someone he knew. A few years ago, he had invited Song Yan to visit the Hehuan sect women for entertainment, but for some reason, the invitations had become less frequent, only occasionally asking him out for a drink.
Even if it was "occasionally," the two could rightfully call each other friends.
Most cultivators here are diligent in their cultivation; being invited out two or three times a year indicates a good relationship, let alone this situation?
"Friend Shi, Friend Shi!" Zhao Nuo called out in a lowered voice.
Song Yan opened the restraint and stood up to greet him.
Zhao Nuo approached, raising his eyebrows and making eyes, saying, "When I went out to have fun today, I suddenly thought of Friend Shi. I was perplexed since Friend Shi doesn’t have a Dao partner. Why haven’t I invited you out these past few years?"
After speaking, he solemnly hooked his arm around Song Yan’s shoulder and said, "Today! Today, we must make up for the regret of past years for you and me!"
Song Yan asked, "Still those Hehuan sect women?"
Zhao Nuo shook his head and sighed, "That batch of Hehuan sect women is now well-resourced and have gained many benefits from dual cultivation; most of them have reached the Crimson Palace Realm. Now, not even one piece of profound jade, even ten pieces, would catch their eye."
He laughed and said, "However, today I discovered a Soul Capturing Valley at a mountain two days away from Seeking Immortal Valley. This Soul Capturing Valley is a gold-spending paradise for cultivators like us. The female cultivators inside are much better than the previous Hehuan sect women!"
Song Yan asked, "Friend Zhao, don’t you save your profound jade for refining Crimson Palace Pills?"
Zhao Nuo said, "Hiring someone for alchemy is only for cultivators with a future, like the Yun Yun cultivator next door to you. She truly has ability; she’s even been noticed by a Dust Light Sect Elder and taken as a disciple.
As for us, at most, we go buy the cheapest Crimson Palace Pills to increase our lifespan slightly, and that’s the end of it. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
I’ve already saved the money for that.
The rest, I plan to spend extravagantly and indulge."
Song Yan asked, "And what happens afterwards?"
Zhao Nuo said speechlessly, "You still aspire to break through to the Purple Mansion? Forget about it. Who has the chance besides those prodigies?
Rather than wasting time pursuing an unattainable realm, it’s better to enjoy life; this way, you won’t have come to this world in vain."
He patted Song Yan’s shoulder and said, "Right now, although disaster hasn’t struck here yet, there are many refugees. I just hope the disaster comes slower, arrives after I die of old age. Alright, enough about that—just one question: Friend Shi, are you coming or not?"
Song Yan smiled and said, "Let’s go."
...
...
Two days later...
The two arrived at Soul Capturing Valley, but they didn’t have much profound jade. So they only found some beautiful mortal women in the Mortal Area, watching the dancing women while drinking wine.
