Chapter 465: The Highest Kindness is Like Water and Foot-Washing Water

Chapter 465: The Highest Kindness is Like Water and Foot-Washing Water

Duan Qing felt a little overwhelmed when he saw Xue Wanyun and the other two praising each other.

He finally saw what it meant to have three women on one show!

Among the 108 states in the Central Plains, Huangzhou is the state with the most immortal cultivation forces.

But most of them are small sects and have no influence.

Only two forces have dominated Huangzhou for countless years and have the strength to compete with the seven super sects in the Central Plains.

The first is the Zuo family in Shangshui City in the middle of Huangzhou.

The second is the Huangyun Sect of Dikun Mountain in the north of Huangzhou.

Both forces have supreme skills. Except for the seven super sects, their strength is the top one in the Central Plains.

If the two forces join forces, their strength is almost as good as the weaker ones among the seven super sects.

But unfortunately, the Zuo family in Shangshui City and the Huangyun Sect of Dikun Mountain have been enemies since ancient times, and they have had frictions and fights from time to time, but have never joined forces.

Ten days later, ten miles outside Shangshui City.

Duan Qing looked at the huge city built on the mountain in the distance, and felt an inexplicable shock in his heart.

Although he had seen Shangshui City in Senior Yuan Wuwu's dream, it was not as shocking as seeing it in person at this time.

I saw a city with a radius of ten miles under the towering Gushan Mountain in the distance, built against the mountain.

From Duan Qing's current position, he could vaguely see nine rivers, originating from the Gushan Mountain, passing through the water city, and fanning out to the south.

However, compared with the nine rivers, the most eye-catching thing is the Tongtian Tower in the center of the city, which is still higher than the Gushan Mountain.

Although the scale of Shangshui City is not as large as that of Dingzhou Jiuding City and Yuezhou Liuyue City, at a glance, except for the somewhat abrupt Tongtian Tower in the city, other places complement the Gushan Mountain, and there is a special sense of harmony.

"It is worthy of being the first city in Huangzhou. It is really unique and in line with the way of harmony between man and nature!" Yu Fan looked at Shangshui City in the distance and sighed.

"Zuohuang Mountain is the most majestic mountain in Huangzhou and the source of the rivers in the central and southern parts of Huangzhou. The name of Shangshui City also comes from this." Zuo Wanqiu raised his chin and explained proudly.

"The best is like water. Water benefits all things without competing. Your Shangshui City, Friend Zuo, is quite in line with this!" Duan Qing praised.

Since he came to the Middle Earth, he has seen two cities with Tongtian Towers, namely Yuezhou Liuyue City and Dingzhou Jiuding City. Both are without exception, and their scale is extremely large.

And in the memory of Senior Yuan Wuwu, he has seen many other cities with Tongtian Towers, and they are almost the same.

Although Shangshui City also has Tongtian Towers, its scale is less than 20% of Yuezhou Liuyue City. It is basically the scale of an ordinary city, or even worse.

This is obviously unreasonable for a city with a tower of Babel.

You should know that the tower of Babel can gather spiritual energy. With high concentration of spiritual energy, not only can the monks practice with half the effort, but also the mortals can prolong their lifespan by living there for a long time.

Therefore, in addition to the monks who like to gather here, mortals also like to live in the city with the tower of Babel.

But the more people live there, the more resources are consumed.

It’s okay for monks. As long as they keep practicing after fasting, they don’t need to eat anything.

But mortals are different. Eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are all indispensable. When the population increases, the resources consumed are even more amazing.

The ruler of Shangshui City is obviously well aware of this. He is located in the source of water in the central and southern part of Huangzhou, but only maintains the scale of an ordinary city. Presumably, he doesn’t want to occupy too many resources and let the water go to the people downstream.

Such a non-competitive move is in line with what Duan Qing just said, that the best is like water.

“Hehe, Brother Duan is very insightful!” Lin Ziyu chuckled.

Zuo Wanqiu's face became even more proud when she heard Duan Qing say this. She snorted and secretly glanced at Xue Wanyun.

Xue Wanyun said disdainfully: "Tsk, if you really want to be as kind as water, don't build the city here and let the people downstream drink the foot washing water of your Shangshui City!"

"You...vulgar!" Zuo Wanqiu pointed at Xue Wanyun and shouted.

"What? Is this girl wrong? The people in your Shangshui City eat, drink, defecate, urinate, bathe and wash their feet every day. In the end, where do all these filth go?" Xue Wanyun was unreasonable.

"You...!" Zuo Wanqiu was so angry that her chest rose and fell violently, but she didn't know how to refute for a while.

Thinking about it carefully, what he said was not wrong, it seemed to be true!

The others looked at the two bickering, and they all turned their faces aside very tactfully, not daring to interrupt.

Along the way, Xue Wanyun and Zuo Wanqiu bickered a lot, and everyone was almost used to it!

Zuo Wanqiu was silent for a long time, not knowing how to refute Xue Wanyun. In the end, she could only turn her head away and sulk.

Seeing this, Xue Wanyun couldn't help showing a complacent look, and said to Yu Ya and Duan Qing: "Let's go, we will teleport directly from Shangshui City back to Shenzhou!"

Duan Qing was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Xue Wanyun in surprise.

In the Middle Earth, there are teleportation arrays in the 108 Tongtian Towers that can teleport to each other. Duan Qing had already known about it through the dream of Senior Yuan Wuwu.

But this teleportation array is not something that everyone can afford.

The spiritual stones consumed for teleportation are related to the cultivation level of the cultivator. The higher the cultivation level, the more spiritual stones are consumed.

According to Duan Qing, even if the cultivation level is low, it takes at least 10 million spiritual stones to teleport one person.

What is the concept of 10 million spiritual stones? It can almost buy a lower-quality spiritual treasure!

This is also the reason why he did not consider using the teleportation array at all when he was in Liuyue City, even though he was hunted down by the Wu family and fell into a desperate situation.

At that time, he had just come to the Central Plains from Xiaonanjie, and he was penniless. Even if he accidentally got the spiritual talisman of Shi Yaogan's house and made a fortune, how could he get 10 million spiritual stones!

Not to mention that time, even now, he would definitely not be able to take out so many spiritual stones.

In the Central Plains, even the people of the seven super sects would not easily use the teleportation array of the Tower of Babel unless there was a special emergency.

At this time, Duan Qing suddenly thought of something.

Judging from Xue Wanyun's words, he probably had already prepared to teleport back to Shenzhou from the Tower of Babel in Shangshui City.

Then why did he act like that when he said he would escort Zuo Wanqiu back to Shangshui City, looking so reluctant.

It's just on the way!

Thinking of this, Duan Qing looked at Xue Wanyun with a little resentment.

Xue Wanyun remained calm and didn't care about Duan Qing's strange look at all.

If she hadn't said that at the time, who knows if Duan Qing would make more outrageous requests.

Zuo Wanqiu followed Duan Qing, her eyes full of loneliness.

Are we finally going to say goodbye!

She knew that there was a teleportation array in the Babel Tower.

With her status, 10 million spirit stones were no problem at all, and she could easily take them out.

When she was chased in Dingzhou and decided to return to the Zuo family, the reason why she didn't teleport back directly was that it was risky to return to Jiuding City at that time and use the Babel Tower teleportation array.

Second, it was because she met Duan Qing and wanted to spend more time with Duan Qing.

Seeing that they were about to say goodbye, Zuo Wanqiu couldn't help but regret that she was not brave enough.

On that day in Dameng City, when she and Duan Qing went to the Dameng Tower alone, maybe she should have expressed her feelings to Duan Qing!

Now that Duan Qing is leaving, I don't know when I will have the opportunity to express what I have in my heart!
