Chapter 430 Luck
Chapter 430 Luck
Wenren Li came to find Zhang Chi, partly to satisfy her craving for his company, and partly to discuss the upcoming matters.
During the day, everyone believed in the righteousness and nobility of Zhang Chi's words, but she was not convinced.
Doing good deeds is fine, but there should be some form of reward.
However, when Wenren Li arrived, Zhang Chi had not finished yet.
Zhang Chi also had to thank the Dragon Gate for tempering him, which neutralized the effects of the fruits he had consumed. Otherwise, if he were to meet Tang Ruoling at this moment, it would be embarrassing.
The most embarrassing thing for a man is this.
Having been separated from Tang Ruoling for a long time, Zhang Chi naturally wanted to have a good time with her. He couldn't let the first night be given to someone else.
Listening to the sounds inside, Wenren Li's emotions were growing increasingly strange.
After a long time, Tang Ruoling finally couldn't resist and fell into a deep sleep. Only then did Wenren Li release a bit of a sedative, completely rendering Tang Ruoling unconscious.
Wenren Li's arrival was very cautious, and apart from the God of Joy, no one noticed her movements.
Sensing what Wenren Li might do next, the Snow Mountain God suddenly became interested.
Speaking of which, if Tang Ruoling were to wake up and see Zhang Chi and Wenren Li...
The corners of Snow Mountain God's mouth curled up in a crazy smile. She had not been able to have her way with Zhang Chi for a long time, and had wasted a lot of her divine power.
Being outside the Divine Domain, it was difficult for her to restore her divine power; it was almost a case of using a little and losing a little.
Of course, if she had been in the Western State all along, there would not have been any danger.
The only thing to be grateful for was that the flow of time in the Dragon Gate Secret Realm was different from the outside world. She hadn't wasted too much time, and once her divine power was gone, it was gone.
She could just go back when she was done.
Now was not the time to let Tang Ruoling wake up. The Snow Mountain God decided to wait and see until Zhang Chi and Wenren Li made their move.
Wenren Li had originally come to discuss with Zhang Chi how to make money and to have a good time, but seeing Tang Ruoling here, her thoughts of making money and having a good time disappeared.
Wenren Li also knew why she had changed, so she dared not show it in front of Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi had not said he liked her. If she were to show her affection first, wouldn't that make her weaker in Zhang Chi's eyes?
Moreover, the threat from the Wenren Family had not been completely eliminated. She could only protect herself in the Western State.
The Wenren Family could not do anything to her, but if they found out about her and Zhang Chi, Zhang Chi would probably face continuous assassination attempts.
After adjusting her mindset, Wenren Li said to Zhang Chi, "What do you think about what we discussed during the day?"
"Didn't we finish talking about it during the day?"
Zhang Chi was somewhat surprised, and Wenren Li rolled her eyes and complained, "You are really interesting. When everyone used to say you were a model of righteousness, you were ruthless and cunning. Now that everyone accuses you of colluding with the Demon Race, you talk about righteousness and morality?"
Zhang Chi: "..."
Wenren Li's aggressiveness was quite strong!
Zhang Chi glanced at her. This girl was probably being a bit too much and had forgotten how she had been beaten up before.
As for Wenren Li's attack, Zhang Chi didn't really care. He said seriously, "Is it possible that I am actually an honest, upright, kind, and good person? Bad things are actually all done by Gu Youyou. I am all about purity and integrity."
Recently, because he had broken through to the Divine Soul realm, Gu Youyou could enter and leave the spiritual platform at will, so she had changed from being passive to being active.
As long as Zhang Chi was willing, she could stay outside all day, and if Gu Youyou was unwilling, she could stay inside all the time.
It could be said that with Zhang Chi's advancement, their control over the body had become more flexible.
Gu Youyou: "..."
When I return to my own body, you'll see if I beat you up or not.
Wenren Li was also shocked by Zhang Chi's shamelessness. She said somewhat speechlessly, "There's no need for us to be like this with each other. We've seen each other's true selves. Why pretend to be kind?"
"Hmph, I thought you understood me, but I didn't expect you to be unable to see through my true nature under my disguise."
Wenren Li: "..."
"Or maybe I should just leave!"
Wenren Li felt a bit uncomfortable staying.
Only then did Zhang Chi coax her back with a smile, saying, "You are so easily teased. I was just joking. Alright, I won't pretend anymore. But I am a bit curious. With your cultivation level, you shouldn't need much spiritual stone. Why are you so keen on earning them?"
Zhang Chi had always believed that wealth was an external thing. In the modern city, money was for improving life. In the Immortal Cultivation World, spiritual stones were not so important.
Of course, he understood Wenren Li's desire to make money and develop her power, but he felt that Wenren Li seemed to be overly concerned.
Wenren Li did not directly answer Zhang Chi's question, but said seriously, "Do you know about the concept of luck?"
"I know a little, but not much."
Zhang Chi admitted that his knowledge was limited. The concept of luck was a high-level knowledge that he had not yet come into contact with.
The only thing related to luck was the luck formation arranged by Long Yi.
"Luck is elusive and mysterious, yet objectively exists."
Wenren Li closed off the surroundings to prevent others from overhearing their conversation.
"The concept of luck is very central in the Central Continent, and only the ancient families understand it."
"What are ancient families?"
Zhang Chi was curious about this new term.
"Ancient families are families that have had Celestial Human powerhouses. The Wenren Family is one of the ancient families. Since the Demon Race on you can defeat Long Yi, you don't need to fear the ancient families. However, you must not provoke them, and you must not go to their ancestral lands. The ancestors of each ancient family leave behind very powerful things to protect and bless the family's heritage."
This was the main reason why Wenren Li had been staying low and dared not provoke the Wenren Family.
Of course, it was only temporary.
"I understand."
Zhang Chi certainly took Wenren Li's advice to heart.
How could he be the kind of person who caused trouble?
Wenren Li did not delve deeper into this topic and said that she would talk to Zhang Chi about the power distribution in the Central Continent when there was a chance in the future. For now, they should focus on the matter at hand.
"Although luck is elusive, it can be traced. Like how Long Yi sealed luck, it prevented Dao Integration cultivators from appearing in the Dragon River region for thousands of years. Similarly, this is also the reason why there have been no Transcending Tribulation cultivators in the Western State for many years. The luck in the Western State is not enough, so the cultivators here cannot break through to higher realms. The reason I want to earn spiritual stones is because wealth can lead to Spirit Ascension. Accumulating wealth can also accumulate luck."
The Snow Mountain God, who had been eavesdropping, was also surprised. She had thought that Wenren Li should always be cautious around Zhang Chi, but she was willing to share such an important secret.
However, Wenren Li had also made a mistake.
It was not that the Western State lacked luck, but rather that most of the luck in the Western State had gathered around her.
Just like how the plants around a towering tree struggle to obtain enough nutrients, the presence of the Snow Mountain God in the Western State made it difficult for the people there to break through to higher realms.
In recent years, apart from those blessed by her, there were hardly any people who could break through to the Transcending Tribulation stage, with Long Yi being an exception.
He was originally the calamity of the Western State, and it was only after thousands of years of endurance that he was able to break through the limit.
In fact, the Snow Mountain God did not want to monopolize so much luck, but it tended to gather around the strong, making the strong stronger and the weak weaker.
However, this was all normal. Occasionally, there were people in this world who were not affected by luck, such as Zhang Chi... (End of this chapter)
