How strong are they?
Chen Moxuan became intrigued by this question. Since people here cannot cultivate spiritual power, the five elders must be body refinement experts. It was just right; he had not yet fought against any powerful body refinement cultivators since his own breakthrough in physical strength. If there were such experts, it would be a good opportunity to witness their prowess.
He didn't know exactly how strong they were, but ordinary people would struggle to defeat even a few of them. Only true powerhouses would be conferred the title of elder by the Valley Master.
"Have you ever seen the Valley Master of Heartless Valley? I heard she is a woman?" Chen Moxuan was also curious about this Valley Master.
"Yes, the Valley Master is indeed a woman, and she is said to be extraordinarily beautiful!"
"I have only seen her a few times. Each time, she wore a white veil over her face, so I couldn't see her features, but just looking into her eyes made it clear that she must be stunning. Moreover, she exudes a very pleasant aura that makes you feel close to her, yet you wouldn’t harbor any ill thoughts."
Fu Bo was clearly lost in some beautiful memories. After hearing his description, Chen Moxuan became even more curious about the Valley Master of Heartless Valley.
"How can one meet the Valley Master?"
"Generally, it's impossible to meet her, but during the annual Happy Festival, it might be possible."
"What is the Happy Festival?" Chen Moxuan felt that Heartless Valley was becoming increasingly interesting.
Every year on Chongyang Festival, it is also the Happy Festival of Heartless Valley. On this day, the Valley Master arranges for people to provide plenty of food and drink for free, even some cultivation resources. Everyone can indulge as they please.
Moreover, on this day, emotions run high, and many people tend to find partners and conceive children. The only downside is that the food and resources cannot be taken away; they can only be consumed on-site. One day is simply too short!
There’s actually such a unique festival! This must be how the population in the valley is maintained.
Chen Moxuan's eyes were opened; he had never encountered a festival so clearly aimed at promoting fertility. Almost half of the people in the valley came about this way, while the other half were from outside.
It seems that Heartless Valley also needs its population; indeed, numbers are fundamental here!
Investigating from this angle is indeed a breakthrough!
The Chongyang Festival is approaching quickly, and at that time, the adults can participate as well. With their appearance, they are sure to attract the attention of many young ladies! Fu Bo finished speaking with a mysterious smile.
As for me, I won’t participate in the event personally, but it’s fine to go and observe.
Well then, you can take a look first. If you find someone you like, we can talk about it!
Chen Moxuan felt that Fu Bo misunderstood his intentions.
Where is your granddaughter? I haven’t seen her around.
She’s afraid to be here with you, so she went out to meet some friends!
With such little courage, how can that be acceptable?
Fu Bo thought to himself: You just broke someone’s arm when you arrived; how could they not be afraid?
But he only dared to think this in his heart, fearing that Chen Moxuan might break his arm too.
By the way, I have another question. If using someone else’s life force can extend one’s lifespan, then can using someone else’s Emotional Connection enhance one’s own feelings?
But does enhancing feelings come from oneself or from the transformed Emotional Connection of another person?
It enhances your original feelings. Your Emotional Connection is one thing; absorbing and digesting it is another. The Rules Spirit specifically records this.
So what you’re saying aligns somewhat with my previous speculation.
Chen Moxuan had originally guessed that the Rules Spirit required both life force and Emotional Connections for a purpose. Life force is based on a kind of vitality; although it varies from person to person, its essence remains the same after refinement.
However, everyone’s Emotional Connection is different because each person experiences emotions uniquely, so Emotional Connections must also differ.
He initially thought that the Rules Spirit absorbed these Emotional Connections entirely.
But now it seems that these Emotional Connections were not absorbed by the Rules Spirit at all.
This led him to another hypothesis: perhaps the Rules Spirit needs these Emotional Connections more for experiencing the emotions within them rather than completely absorbing them.
This could allow someone who has already lost their Emotional Connection to exchange their original feelings while absorbing another's Emotional Connection.
Thinking of this made him feel a sense of shock.
For so many years, Heartless Valley has existed, and countless people have come here or been born here. With so many individuals connected emotionally, the Rules Spirit can actually record everything completely. This indicates that the Rules Spirit is incredibly powerful. Such a feat is certainly beyond the capabilities of an ordinary spirit!
Could it be that this Rules Spirit is the greatest secret of Heartless Valley? Although Chen Moxuan already understood the strength of the Rules Spirit, he found himself even more intrigued. This ignited his innate fighting spirit. Reflecting on his entry into Heartless Valley, he felt that it was not by mere chance but rather with a purpose. The true aim might very well be to understand this Rules Spirit or even to seek it out.
Fu Bo had no idea that Chen Moxuan had connected so many dots from his words. "Alright, I understand now. Thank you for clearing my doubts. I will be staying here for a while; you have no objections, right?"
"None at all! It’s my fortune to have you here, my home is your home," Fu Bo replied quickly with a smile. However, only he knew how much of his words were true and how much was false.
After gaining the insights he sought, Chen Moxuan returned to his room to begin converting his life force. After some time had passed, he had fully restored his previously converted life force and generated ten strands of new life force. He then practiced the Jiu Jiu Xuan Gong to adapt to the Demon Battle Golden Body.
Since he couldn't cultivate Ling Qi here, he knew he couldn't neglect his body refinement techniques. Fortunately, when he learned about the Ruthless Divine General's will, he didn’t impulsively rush here but chose instead to focus on practicing Jiu Jiu Xuan Gong to break through his own limits. At first glance, this seemed inconsequential, but in hindsight, this decision proved to be very wise.
The next morning, after finishing his training, Chen Moxuan continued on his way down the street. After wandering around for a while, he arrived at Mo Wen Jiu Lou. As usual, he ordered a pot of Wu Liang Jiu along with a serving of Peanuts and Cold Beef Salad—his favorite snacks to accompany his drinks.
