After that, each of them picked a mountain they liked and climbed up.
Hua Ruge did not want to be disturbed, so she pointed to the most remote and steepest mountain, then looked at Su Nianxia and asked for her opinion.
"I don't care. Let's go." Su Nianxia agreed immediately, and the two started to climb the mountain.
Because it was far from the main road and inconvenient to pass, only the two of them were on the way.
The higher he went, the denser Hua Ruge felt the Spiritual Qi, and the more abundant the energy the elements were.
"Good place, good place."
A tender voice came out, following that, Hua Ruge's white jade ring flashed and she felt two dishonest claws grabbing onto the clothes at her chest.
When Hua Ruge looked down, he saw the Devouring Beast s grabbing onto her chest, their bodies had shrunk into a ball of fur, and their two pitch black eyes were staring at her in private, looking to be in joy.
"Where's good?" Hua Ruge asked.
"There's plenty of spiritual energy here, so there must be something good to eat." The Devouring Beast did not forget to look around as it spoke.
Hearing that, Hua Ruge felt like slapping it down.
"Wow, this little beast is so cute. It even knows how to talk." Su Nianxia was shocked at first, but then he excitedly moved closer to the Devouring Beast, looking at that furry ball of its body up close.
It was not because she was brave, but because Devouring Beast's tiny appearance did not seem to be lethal.
When the Devouring Beast heard that someone was praising it, it turned its head and looked at Su Nianxia with its little black eyes, as if it was curious about anyone other than its master.
"Come, let big sister hug you."
Su Nianxia spread out his hands and said softly.
The Devouring Beast hesitated for a bit, then looked at Su Nianxia's friendly face in the end, and jumped onto Hua Ruge's chest, straight into his hands.
Su Nianxia carefully held it up and asked: "What did big sister teach you?"
The Devouring Beast blinked its tiny eyes, obviously not understanding what Su Nianxia was saying.
Seeing the happy humans and beasts, Hua Ruge suddenly felt that he had been isolated from them. As he rubbed his chest, he said unhappily, "It's a spirit beast and not a parrot, there's no need to teach it."
Su Nianxia nodded his head as he watched the Devouring Beast hopping onto Su Nianxia's palm: "I am not a spirit beast, I am a divine beast, a divine beast!"
Su Nianxia was startled. She only vaguely remembered that there was a Divine Beast recorded in the books.
"Do you see it? It only knows how to eat every day." Hua Ruge didn't mind his dislike of her at all.
Su Nianxia looked at the cute girl that could be lifted with a single hand, and shook his head without hesitation.
If this was a Divine Beast, then there would be Divine Beasts everywhere.
"Do you think anyone can eat it? Woman, you are blessed but not blessed! " The Devouring Beast said unhappily.
Hua Ruge was amused by it, he reached out a finger and caressed its head: "Nice use of the idiom."
"That's not the point!" Devouring Beast felt that her dignity as a Divine Beast was at stake. If she did not fight for it now, these people would treat her like a normal beast.
Hua Ruge and Su Nianxia laughed at the same time.
The Devouring Beast was completely ignored, and thus laid on the palm of Su Nianxia's hand, listless.
The more he walked up, the more Hua Ruge felt the spiritual energy and elemental particles becoming denser and denser, even she could feel the spiritual energy in her body starting to stir, as if she was unable to wait to absorb the external energy.
It had to be said that her intake of spiritual energy was extremely high. Ordinary places wouldn't even be able to make her crave for spiritual energy. However, at this point, she felt like she could cultivate.
Su Nianxia was even more excited, she exclaimed: "No wonder everyone wants to cultivate Sky Mansion Academy like that, it seems like cultivating here is more than three times faster than the outside world."
"It's even more effective than my pill." Hua Ruge had no choice but to admit it.
She felt that even if the pill she had refined before was a Grade 6 pill, it would not have much of an effect here. This caused her to feel both defeated and excited at the same time.
This way, there would be more room for improvement.
Su Nianxia nodded slightly, feeling that it was extremely inconceivable. "How did you do that?"
"There is a Spirit Gathering Array in this mountain that can make the spirit energy become denser, but I think the larger reason is the location here. However, I don't know what kind of secrets this land has." Hua Ruge analyzed.
Su Nianxia excitedly clenched his fists and said, "I will definitely cultivate properly."
Hua Ruge could not help but nod his head. In his heart, he was thinking about, if the outer court had so many benefits, then what would the inner court and even the core court look like?
They climbed to the top of the hill.
The top of the mountain had been flattened, and many courtyards had been built on top of it. There were also some places to live in, as well as some land that could be cultivated with fencing. It was quite a sight to behold.
However, from the front, the courtyard looked desolate. At least, no one lived on this side of the road.
Hua Ruge and Su Nianxia picked a yard next to two, with only a fence separating them.
The house here was made of wood, not much different from the one in the town below. There was only a bed with some simple facilities inside.
As Hua Ruge looked at this simple yet warm house, he couldn't help but recall Tuoba Rui's wish.
He said he wanted to find a quiet place to live his life with just the two of them.
This place was a little similar.
Her eyes were fixed on him, and she seemed to be in a trance for a moment.
"Elder sister Ruge, what are we going to grow in this garden?" Su Nianxia's voice sounded outside.
Hua Ruge took a deep breath and walked out.
Su Nianxia was standing on top of the wattled fencing in her courtyard, talking to them.
"The spiritual energy here is abundant. It would be a bit of a waste if I don't grow some Spirit Flowers and Spirit Grasses. However, the Spirit Flowers and Spirit Grasses that I can use can easily mature over hundreds of years." Hua Ruge said as he walked out of the door.
Su Nianxia nodded in agreement.
They did not think that they could live for a few hundred years. Even if they reached a certain level of strength and were able to extend their lifespan, they would still not be able to endure the flowers and plants that would only mature after a few hundred years.
"Elder sister Ru Ge, I plan to go down the mountain and look for a place with many people to inquire about the way of Sky Mansion Academy. Shall we go together?" Su Nianxia asked.
Hua Ruge shook his head: "Take care of your own safety, I need to go into closed door cultivation for a few days."
"Alright, I'll tell you when I'm done asking around." Su Nianxia said as he went down the mountain.
The Devouring Beast left her hands and returned to Hua Ruge's shoulders.
Hua Ruge patted his shoulder and said: "There's something good for you to eat."
The Devouring Beast's eyes immediately lit up, and fawningly said: "Master is the best."
Hua Ruge did not comment on its lackey's actions.
Returning back to his room and closing the door, Hua Ruge took out the spatial ring that he used to rob Leng Yichen.
The storage ring had a mental barrier on it, but because Leng Yichen was a Battle Master, his mental force was very weak.
Dong Xia was indeed worthy of being called the imperial court. Their resources were more abundant than that of the Great Zheng's, and even a young master like him had quite a few good things.
She looked around and found a message jade slip on a shelf. She took it out and used her spiritual force to explore it.
Very quickly, she gently snorted. The corner of her mouth raised and her gaze turned slightly cold.
The contents of the jade slip had something to do with her, it had come from Bei Chenyue's hands and had recorded down the method to frame her.
The feeling of being seen through was extremely uncomfortable, at least Hua Ruge did not like it!
