Chapter 617: Cultivation Situation

So this is what you do in your spare time?

An unimpressed voice interrupted Chen Wentians musings. He sat up from his reclining bamboo chair and cast a smile toward Zhou Ziyun. He had been in the middle of a daydream, a luxurious eagle-feathered fan hanging idly in one hand. His clothes were loose and messy. If could see himself, he looked more like a rich playboy than the master of an immortal sect.

What? Something wrong? He asked.

Your disciples are all practicing diligently and yet their master is lazing around in the middle of the afternoon. She said with her arms crossed.

He shrugged, I was taking care of some personal business. You know, have to keep my soul minions in line from time to time, the usual. Do you really want to know? I just finished with something quite interesting.

His expression must have given him away because she waved him off, I dont want to know. Anyway, I wanted to ask what thoughts you had about our individual cultivation paths. Qingcheng and I are approaching the peak of the Spirit Initiate Realm and yet lets just admit it. We dont really know what we are doing.

He frowned playfully and gestured to her, Come here.

She was reluctant but he pulled her over with his spiritual energy. She neatly fell onto his lap and he laid back down on the recliner. Crossing his hands behind his head, he gave her a smile, Ziyun, I will never believe that you dont know what you are doing at any time. So tell me, what are you thinking about?

She snorted and shook her head. After gathering her thoughts, she looked at him with a serious expression and said, This is my analysis of the current situation for all of your disciples. It is just my opinion but an honest one. First, the most obvious one, is Jasmine. Her cultivation is tied to her natural talents as a divine beast. Aside from the things you agreed to do for her with regards to the Beast God Sanctum and the three beast kings, there is not much for you to do except keep her fed and happy. There is no concern about her cultivation path.

Agreed.

She nodded and raised five fingers, The second easiest is the five ice sisters. Their Dao is pretty much set at this point as being the cultivation of a dual-attribute physique through the Summer and Winters Eternal Sutra. They require your steady guidance and effort during dual-cultivation sessions but apart from that, there is little else to worry about in the short term for at least two or three years.

Hey, He interjected, What about that invitation from the Frostfire Nation? I was thinking that place might be interesting for them.

We, you and me.

What do you propose? He asked.

We dont know what we dont know. We need more information, research, books, anything that can possibly help us, provide us a hint. And for all of that, I think we should take a trip to the Eastern Sanmu Metropolis.

He sighed, Not the library again.

She punched his chest lightly, Not just the library, large and small private book collections. There could be antique stores that might sell old tomes and worn-out scrolls. There might also be mortal cultivators that have encountered anything similar to our situations. With such a huge metropolis and so many people, the possibilities are endless. Im sure we can find something!

Just you? And me? He asked.

Yeah.

He burst out laughing and pulled her into a hug, Alright, lets go. Its a date!

Its not a date! She protested helplessly.
