Chapter 40: Water and Fire Are Incompatible

  Xiao Ruo took the materials handed over by the shopkeeper and began to quickly flip through them, while explaining to Fang Tian Nan: "On the first floor, it is indeed possible to gather more information faster. However, the sources of information are too complex, and it also requires a very precise grasp of timing. In comparison, on the second floor, there is an opportunity to purchase information through Ju Xian Ge, which is very targeted... These are all collected by Ju Xian Ge, take a look."

  As she spoke, Xiao Ruo also divided the materials in her hand into three parts, two of which were handed over to Zhai Jianming and Fang Tiannan respectively.

  Fang Tian Nan took a look and indeed, as Xiao Ruo said, all the information about the inheritance of Dongtian was categorized and summarized in an orderly manner. For example, what Fang Tian Nan saw was one that circulated among ordinary disciples within the sect, each with their own views on the inheritance of Dongtian.

  There are those who admire, those who envy, and those who work even harder.

  However, many ordinary children are more enthusiastic about the emergence of Tongtian. If they really want to envy and covet, it's better to pin their hopes on becoming an outer disciple of Qingyun Sect rather than expecting a mysterious inheritance.

  What surprised Fang Tian Nan even more was that the聚贤阁 rarely expressed its own views in summarizing information. Basically, whatever messages were circulating on the market would be recorded as is. As for what was right or wrong, or whether the news was accurate or not, it could only be judged by oneself.

  "Heh, not bad... At least, the other disciples in the sect with different energy attributes are taking a wait-and-see attitude towards the emergence of the Transmission Cave Heaven. Otherwise... " Zhai Jianming hesitated for a moment before saying, "We people with fire attribute energy would have encountered quite a few unprovoked disasters."

  "That's for sure." Xiao Ruo nodded after hearing this, saying, "The sect has always done well in these aspects. They also have a set of methods to guide public opinion. From the appearance of Chuanxian Dongtian to now, it's already been a month. If the sect really wants to guide things, there shouldn't be any big problems."

  "Uh,..." Fang Tian Nan listened to it and felt a bit mysterious, so he couldn't help but ask, "What you're saying, I seem to not quite understand. What's the relationship between the emergence of this Transmission Cave Heaven and the energy attributes of our sect's disciples?"

  "Oh, right, I forgot. Tian Nan, you should be cultivating yang attribute energy, shouldn't you?" Xiao Ruo glanced at Fang Tian Nan and couldn't help but pat his own forehead, saying, "And you're just a newly promoted outer sect disciple, it's normal that you don't understand the competition between outer sect disciples."

  "To put it simply, the outer sect disciples with different energy attributes will form cliques and gangs based on their innate attribute relationships. They'll have their own little groups." Zhai Jianming shrugged his shoulders, expressing his helplessness.

  "So that's what they mean by a small clique?" Fang Tian Nan suddenly realized. Among the ordinary disciples of Qing Yun Sect, there were also many small cliques.

  Subconsciously, Fang Tiannan took another glance at Xiao Ruo and Di Jianming.

  Although Fang Tiannan's cultivated energy attribute is extremely rare, even after becoming an outer disciple of Qingyun Sect, it is difficult to find companions with similar energy attributes. However, having experienced the Transmission Cave Heaven, Fang Tiannan will naturally be labeled as "Fire Attribute" energy.

  To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the other outer sect disciples of Qingyun Sect, Fang Tian Nan is just a disciple with fire attribute energy, belonging to this faction. Especially Xiao Ruo and Di Jianming, together with Fang Tian Nan, will inevitably become the thorns in the eyes of the remaining outer sect disciples with different energy attributes.

  Who allowed all three of them among the outer disciples of Qingyun Sect to be the only ones who have entered the Transmission Cave Heaven?

  Perhaps, as fellow disciples of the same fire attribute energy, the three people from Tiannan would feel a little envious and jealous, even regretful, wondering why they didn't go to Youming Mountains earlier. However, for the outer sect disciples who cultivate other energy attributes, their inner hostility is hard to put into words.

  。。。。。。

  The materials in Xiao Ru's hand were the final interpretation of Qingyun Sect for this transmission of Tongtian Cave.

  The materials are not thick, and roughly speaking, they have been promoting the advantages of Qingyun Sect in this inheritance of Dongtian compared to other sects such as Bihai Sect and Taihang Gang. In addition, there are also many specific descriptions of events that occurred within the inheritance of Dongtian. However, for those who ultimately obtained the inheritance, what each disciple gained after entering the inheritance of Dongtian is not recorded anywhere.

  After the materials were handed over to Fang Tian Nan, after reading through them once, Fang Tian Nan also understood in his heart that from now on, if someone asked him questions, which ones he could answer directly and which ones he couldn't disclose.

  "Alright, that's roughly how things are. Looking out the window at the sky, Xiao Ruo said, "The three of us can be considered to have a pretty good affinity, and in the future, we should help and support each other in the outer sect of Qingyun Sect. Now, Tian Nan, you can go to the easternmost end of the outer sect's disciple registration office, report your personal information, and then someone will lead you to your new residence. If you're not satisfied with the residence at that time, you can also spend contribution points to exchange for a new one."

  "Then thank you, Senior Brother Xiao Ruo." Fang Tian Nan also followed the sect's rules and respectfully shouted a sentence.

  "Hmm, it seems I should leave first too." Ji Jianming, who was standing beside him, said as he stood up, "I won't say much more. We should all work hard. To be honest, I'm not afraid of your jokes. This time, the harvest from the Transmission Cave Heaven, the elixirs in my hand that can ultimately be used on myself are probably very few. Now that I think about it, I somewhat envy Tian Nan, my junior brother."

  "Huh?" Fang Tian Nan was taken aback.

  "You know fewer people." Zhai Jianming said with a bitter smile, "The relationships that need to be maintained are few, and the elixirs that can be used by oneself are naturally more. Xiao Ruo Shixiong, don't you think so?"

  "Don't look at me, my elixir can be used by myself, and I'm afraid it won't be much better than yours." Xiao Ruo heard this and also had a helpless expression, "If you really want to stand out, not becoming an inner disciple will ultimately make everything empty."

  "Could it be that someone is trying to forcibly take your elixirs?" Fang Tian Nan asked in puzzlement.

  "It's not robbery, but rather a must-give." Zhai Jianming explained, "For example, the master who teaches you martial skills, you have gained something and it's openly displayed, how can you not give? Moreover, the competition between outer sect disciples is much more intense than that of ordinary disciples. Many times, even if you want to exchange for a suitable technique or a handy weapon, the price to be paid is huge..."

  He looked at Fang Tian Nan with a somewhat meaningful gaze and said, "In short, you will gradually feel it later."

  。。。。。。

  Just as Di Jianming stood up and walked out of the room, a group of people also came out from the next room.

  One of them, after seeing him, couldn't help but tease with a smile: "Hey, isn't that Jia Jianming? I heard you've entered the Transmission Cave Heaven. What did you gain from it? Tell us about it, let everyone hear. We're really curious about the Transmission Cave Heaven."

  "Wu Yuncai, you wouldn't be thinking of entering the Legacy Cave Heaven as well, would you?" Zhai Jianming looked at his opponent with a strange expression on his face.

  "Hehe, he naturally wants to enter the Inherited Cave Heaven." Xiao Ruo added from behind, "However, his innate attribute energy and the conditions for entering the Inherited Cave Heaven are conflicting. This lifetime, it's hopeless."

  "Xiao Ruo!" The person who had spoken earlier spat out these two words with a vicious tone.

  When Fang Tian Nan followed Xiang Ruo out of the room, he saw five people standing in front of Diao Jian Ming. Among them, a young man who seemed to be the leader was staring at Xiao Ruo with a furious expression, as if he wanted to swallow him whole.

  "He is an outer disciple of water attribute energy, named Wu Yuncai. The people around him are also water attribute energies." Xiao Ruo leaned close to Fang Tian's ear and whispered, "Moreover, this Wu Yuncai had some conflicts with me before."

  "Haha, what contradiction?" Zhai Jianming chuckled and said, "Isn't it just that during the trial, you were thoroughly taught a lesson by Shao Ruo, your senior brother?" As he spoke, Zhai Jianming also winked at Fang Tian Nan.

  Although Xiao Ruo's voice had been deliberately lowered, the people present were all outer disciples of Qingyun Sect, and with everyone's strength, they could barely hear clearly. As for Di Jianming's words, he was even more unscrupulous, making Wu Yuncai's face look even more unsightly.

  "Dai Jianming, you think you're capable? Let's have a fight! Are you daring or not?" Wu Yuncai shouted at Dai Jianming.

  "This isn't a matter of daring or not. " Ji Jianming's tone was slightly weaker as he spoke, saying, "I'm not as foolish as some people, who clearly know they can't win but still insist on trying. Tsk, tsk, it's really embarrassing..."

  Even Fang Tian Nan, who was standing behind Zhai Jian Ming and Xiao Ruo, couldn't help but feel a sense of delight. It seems that although Zhai Jian Ming appears to be careless, his thoughts are actually very meticulous.
