Chapter 104: Qingmu Forest

  Mù Cǎi Yī's pace was not fast, even on the crowded streets of Sanlian, there was nothing remarkable about her. However, the perception she emitted was directed at Fāng Tiān Nán who followed behind her. As for the other people on the street, they were unaffected. This precision alone was something that Fāng Tiān Nán couldn't grasp at present.

  The sensory power emitted by Fang Tian Nan is almost spreading in all directions.

  Although Fang Tiannan can concentrate his attention intentionally in a certain direction, that is to say, let most of his perception spread in the direction he intends, but other places will still diffuse a lot of perception. Moreover, the intensity of Fang Tiannan's awakened perception is undoubtedly much weaker than Mu Caiyi at this moment.

  Thus, Mù Cǎi Yī's footsteps were exceptionally light, while Fāng Tiān Nán wanted to keep up with Mù Cǎi Yī's pace, but was unusually exhausted.

  Sweat gradually appeared on Fang Tian Nan's forehead.

  Fang Tian Nan subconsciously wiped his hand, feeling a lot of helplessness in his heart. Seeing Mu Caiyi didn't intend to stop, Fang Tian Nan could only grit his teeth and continue on.

  It seemed that at this moment, in Fang Tian Nan's entire sensory world, there was only Mu Caiyi.

  As for the pedestrians walking on the street, the scenery on both sides of the street, and even the direction in which the two were currently walking, Fang Tian Nan had somewhat neglected them.

  When Mu Caiyi's figure suddenly stopped and turned around, Fang Tian Nan finally let out a sigh of relief.

  It's worth noting that at this time, Fang Tian Nan's clothes were almost completely soaked with sweat.

  。。。。。。

  "I didn't expect your perseverance to be so strong, you've actually managed to persist all the way here." Mu Caiyi looked at Fang Tian Nan's eyes, which were overflowing with an intimidating radiance.

  "This is...?" Fang Tian Nan finally had the mind to look around. The place where Mu Caiyi led him was not a tavern or a residence as he had expected, but a quiet forest.

  "This is the Qingmu Forest at the foot of Zongmen Mountain." Mu Caiyi explained, "The air here is no different from other places in Zongmen where spiritual energy is abundant."

  "Essence?" Fang Tian Nan couldn't help but furrow his brow.

  "In fact, for cultivators, the spiritual energy formed in different places is also different." Mu Caiyi looked at Fang Tian Nan and explained, "Don't you often feel refreshed and energized in a certain place?"

  "You say that, and I do have a lot of impressions," Fang Tian Nan replied. It was as if in the sect's training grounds, where there were too many people, the aura Fang Tian Nan felt would inevitably be noisy. But near the You Ming Mountains or other dense forests, the air would naturally be much fresher. "Could it be that the closer one is to nature, the more abundant the spiritual energy is?"

  "Not necessarily." Mu Caiyi turned to look at the dense green woods beside her and said, "Someone has also proposed your point of view before, but specifically speaking, in places where trees are densely grown, for those with a wood attribute innate talent, their cultivation will indeed be twice as effective. However, if it's cultivators with other attribute talents or people without any attribute talents, cultivating here won't have this effect."

  "To find a place that matches one's innate attributes to cultivate, can improve efficiency?" Fang Tian Nan heard this and couldn't help but ponder, no wonder cultivators with innate attributes are generally valued by their sects. It turns out there's an advantage here, and also a reason for this aspect.

  However, soon after, Fang Tian Nan looked at Mu Caiyi with some doubt and asked: "Mu Shijie, your innate attribute seems to be ice-cold attribute, right?"

  The lush forest in front of them, even if it's what they call "spirit energy", would be more abundant, and according to Mù Cǎi Yī's own explanation, it would only be more beneficial for cultivators with a wood-attribute affinity. However, the affinities of both Mù Cǎi Yī and Fāng Tiān Nán had nothing to do with the wood attribute.

  How could Mu Caiyi bring him here?

  。。。。。。

  "This is what I wanted to tell you, about the way of cultivating perceptual power." Mu Caiyi heard this and turned her head to glance at Fang Tian Nan, saying "Actually, just in this short period of time, I've almost told you all the experiences I've gained. Since you can awaken such a rare perceptual power, surely you should be able to figure some things out?"

  As she spoke, Mu Caiyi still had a playful expression on her face and looked at Fang Tian Nan.

  Fang Tiannan seems to have had an illusion. At this time, the Mu Caiyi standing in front of him is the true manifestation of her personality. Before, the high and noble appearance that Mu Caiyi showed, which was inconsistent with the other disciples, may be due to the reason of innate attributes or Mu Caiyi's deliberate intention, although it did not make people feel abrupt, but always felt a sense of distance.

  At this moment, Mu Caiyi, even if she was still wearing a black veil, Fang Tian Nan could vaguely see that the other party had a young person's mentality. She had her own curiosity and pursuit of things, and it was easier to let people feel her true feelings.

  Mù Cǎi Yī was testing herself. After some thought, Fāng Tiān Nán continued to analyze: "Just now, all the way here you were dispersing your own perception power to suppress me. If I'm not mistaken, in order to cultivate one's perception power, one needs to constantly use this ability, become familiar with it, and try it out, only then can there be gains, right?"

  This is also Fang Tian Nan's own understanding, gained through several days of cultivation.

  "That's right." Mu Caiyi nodded, "Any ability requires constant familiarization and practice to make progress. ... It seems that you haven't been trying less since your awakening of perception a few days ago."

  "Hmm, that's natural."... got Mu Caiyi's approval, Fang Tiannan couldn't help but smile a little awkwardly. In terms of perception, throughout the entire sect, except for the two elders who had awakened their spiritual awareness and the sect master, Fang Tiannan could only ask for advice from the person in front of him.

  "What else?" Mu Caiyi continued to ask.

  "Anything else?" Fang Tian Nan was taken aback and rubbed his nose, saying "There is, I need to ask Teacher Xiang you."

  "Alas..." Mu Caiyi couldn't help but sigh.

  For a moment, Fang Tiannan didn't know what to say. He carefully thought back through everything that had happened since he met Mu Caiyi today. And when he thought about where the two of them were now, Fang Tiannan's heart skipped a beat as he said: "Could it be that cultivating perception can break through the shackles of innate talent? Would practicing in Qingmu Forest also have an effect that's more than twice as effective?"

  A hint of a smile suddenly appeared in Mù Cǎi Yī's eyes.

  。。。。。。

  "You're half right." Mu Caiyi said to Fang Tian Nan, "You can try expanding your perception here and see the effect."

  "Good." Fang Tian Nan nodded. At this time, Fang Tian Nan didn't need to pay attention to Mu Caiyi standing in front of him, and directly used his perception power with all his might. Everything around the two people naturally appeared clearly in Fang Tian Nan's perception.

  This situation is quite strange.

  Although Fang Tiannan couldn't see further away, nor could he predict some non-existent dangers, in his perception, it seemed as if he had already become the master of this area. As soon as there was any movement, he would be able to feel it in the first instance.

  "How is it?" After about a short while, Mu Caiyi looked at Fang Tian Nan and asked.

  Fang Tian Nan couldn't help but quickly withdraw his perception, nodding and responding: "Yes, indeed there are quite a few discoveries. For example, in this place, the range of my perception seems to be farther than what I could previously detect. Moreover, it makes me feel that this forest has become somewhat familiar."

  Mu Caiyi nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction on her face as she spoke: "A few days ago when Fang Zhanglao came to find me, he said that there was a young junior in the sect who had also awakened his perception. I was naturally overjoyed when I heard this. Now that we've met, you haven't disappointed me."

  "Uh, I also stumbled upon it." Being praised face to face, and still one of the "Ice and Fire Twin Sisters", Fang Tian Nan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

  "Who would have thought that Mu Caiyi would say lightly: "Who has awakened their perception, isn't it by chance? The higher the realm of strength, the deeper the understanding of the two words 'luck'. When you advance to become a True Person in the Human Yuan Realm, you will feel it."

  Human world! It's human world again!

  Fang Tiannan suddenly felt that many things that happened to him would only be understood after reaching the Human Yuan realm. This gave Fang Tiannan an urgent desire to advance to the Human Yuan realm.
