Cultivation was like throwing gold into a raging fire, it was never ending.

In order to become a great emperor, in addition to having a peerless cultivation technique, one also needed to consume countless resources.

​​

Some people sought for resources amongst each other, while others fought against each other for resources.

From this, it could be seen how resources were extremely important to a cultivator.

Su Yan'er, who had once stood at the top, was already used to these things.

This was also the reason why she was so moved by Su Xing's actions.

Su Yan'er had once asked Su Xing about his cultivation, and the answer was that he was at the third layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm. From the looks of it, he was indeed at the third layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

However, she had also lived on the Sunset Peak for a period of time.

All sorts of signs indicated that Su Xing was not as simple as he appeared to be.

Su Yan'er came back to her senses and asked directly.

"Senior Brother, why don't you use these resources to cultivate?"

"Cultivate? Why do I need to cultivate?"

"But Senior Brother, shouldn't cultivators of our generation primarily focus on cultivation?"

Every time this topic was brought up, Su Xing would always be like this.

He did not care about it at all. He did not even have the slightest interest in cultivating. If he had not taught him a set of cultivation techniques, he would probably only know a rudimentary set of sword techniques!

Sigh!

Su Yan'er wanted to make this Senior Brother of hers cultivate diligently, but unfortunately, he never appreciated her kindness.

No way! Senior Brother treated us Junior Sisters so well. Even if we were from the same Sect, we had to increase his enthusiasm for cultivation.

"Senior Brother, did you encounter a bottleneck?"

Su Xing's gaze was deep as he looked into the distance. There was a hint of absent-mindedness in his eyes.

"I, your Senior Brother, have never encountered a bottleneck ever since I started cultivating!"

A bottleneck in cultivation was a bottleneck that every cultivator would encounter in the course of their cultivation. As the name implied, a bottleneck referred to experiencing difficulty in doing something.

Cultivation was like climbing a dangerous mountain. On the way forward, every mountain ridge and every mountain ridge was a bottleneck.

Su Xing actually said that he had never encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation until now.

Was that possible?

Su Yan'er was slightly surprised.

She was a peerless great empress in her previous life. In this life, there would naturally be no bottlenecks in her cultivation before the great empress. This Senior Brother of hers was actually the same as her.

Could it be that this was the will of heaven!

Su Yan'er shook her head.

What she didn't know was that apart from the two of them, third Junior Sister Mo Yuanqing and Little Junior Sister Shen Yaoling were also the same.

"Since Senior Brother has such talent, why don't you focus on cultivation?"

"Cultivation? Then what?"

"Cultivating to achieve true results and pursuing the path of longevity. Isn't this the supreme ideal of every cultivator?"

A faint smile climbed up Su Xing's handsome face.

He chuckled and said, "Your Senior Brother, I, don't care about that longevity."

"A person lives for a lifetime, and plants grow for an autumn. Instead of pursuing that illusory longevity, it's better to be an ordinary person and enjoy the pleasures of being an ordinary person."

"You just said a cultivator's ideal, then do you know what my Senior Brother's ideal is?"

Su Yan'er wanted to answer, but she didn't know where to start.

After all, every time she thought that she already knew enough about Su Xing, the tip of the iceberg and his plain and unadorned actions made her feel as if a layer of fog had covered her eyes.

Su Xing gazed into the distance, and the setting sun slowly sank into the mountain peak.

Everything was so beautiful.

He suddenly remembered a classic quote of a poet he liked.

From tomorrow on, care about life and Junior Sister, chop wood and feed horses to take care of Junior Sister. I have a house facing the sun, facing the sea, and the warm spring flowers bloom.

At this time, it was after dusk.

Sunset Peak.

It lived up to its name.

The afterglow of the sunset shone on the mountain peak, shining brightly.

The clouds in the horizon were also dyed crimson.

Looking from afar, the sunset peak was filled with multicolored rays of light.

And the youth in plain clothes was looking into the distance at a 45 degree angle.

It was like an immortal, like a mortal, like all things, but also ethereal.

Su Yan'er seemed to have sensed something and muttered.

"Senior Brother is righteous. No matter what happens in the future, Junior Sister should repay Senior Brother a thousand times, a hundred times."

"Thank you!"

...

Inside Dafeng's territory.

A battered figure was moving forward in the darkness.

Not far from him was a magnificent city gate.

The cold wind blew past the city gate.

"Damn, what kind of weather is this? Why is it so cold!"

"Don't say anymore. When the shift is over, let's go to Qingfeng tower to warm our bodies."

The few guards who were shivering from the cold suddenly became energized when they thought of the sexy and hot scene.

"Hey! Let me tell you, that Xiang'er from last time was really living a good life!"

"Tsk, tsk! Those snow-white thighs and that little face are amazing!"

When the other soldier heard this, his eyes lit up with a green light.

"Old Wang, I see that you've been applying to be on night duty recently. Could it be that you're trying to save up some money to buy a lady's freedom?"

"Then you have to hold on tight. Otherwise, you'll be snatched away by others."

Hahaha!

As they spoke, the two of them burst into laughter.

As they were laughing, one of the soldiers unbuckled his belt.

"Go, go, Go! Do you want to die? This is the city gate. If you want to go easy on us, then get lost!"

"Am I not brewing something? !"

The soldier took a few dozen steps forward before turning around and burrowing into a dense forest.

Suddenly.

"Ah!"

A scream suddenly rang out.

Hearing the commotion, the soldier on duty hurriedly gathered his men and ran over.

"What's wrong, Old Wang? What happened?"

The soldier who had originally gone easy on them was already dead.

His saber was stabbed into his heart, and the other end of the long saber was held in the hand of a man with disheveled hair and a dirty face.

The city-guarding soldiers looked as if they were facing a great enemy and pulled out their sabers one after another.

"Who are you? How dare you kill the city-guarding soldiers? You are courting death!"

The man lifted his messy hair and swept his sharp snake-like eyes across the crowd.

He said in a hoarse voice, "Take me to see Mo Shenghong!"

"How dare you, you can call his majesty by his name."

"Someone, lock him in a cell and wait for his punishment."

Facing the soldiers that surrounded him, the man did not show any fear.

A faint light suddenly flashed in the dark night.

The command token in the man's hand caught the attention of the leader.

The khaki-colored command token gave off a faint light, making the words on it clearly visible.

"Great Qin Empire's Prince, Order of Chen Youliang!"

After seeing the words clearly, the leader quickly cupped his fists and bowed respectfully.

"Captain Wang Zhihuan of the Imperial City Garrison pays his respects to the third prince."

Chen Youliang's face did not change at all.

He was still repeating what he had said before.

"Take me to see Mo Shenghong!"

However, this time, the crowd did not refuse. They respectfully escorted him through the city gates.

When they passed through the city gates, Chen Youliang stopped in his tracks.

"That soldier who was rude to me just now, he doesn't deserve to see the Sun tomorrow!"

As he spoke, he patted the city-guarding commandant on the shoulder and walked straight to the center of the capital.

"Bah! What kind of thing is this? Old Wang has been our brother for many years. You can kill him with just a sentence!"

"Damn it! This foreigner is really unreasonable."

The commandant Wang Zhihuan didn't say anything. He tightly gripped the pill bottle in his hand.

"Boss, you..."

"Kill him!"

An insignificant person exchanged for a bottle of fifth-grade pills. It was obvious that this captain had chosen the latter.

This also confirmed Su Yan'er's words.

It was also a famous saying in the cultivation world.

Man dies for wealth, birds die for food!
