The green snake didn't take it seriously; on the contrary, it was somewhat eager to try.
Seeing that his words were useless, Hao Yun gave up. Good advice is useless to a damned devil. She'll regret it when she suffers the consequences.
"Goodbye."
Hao Yun turned and left. Anyway, there was nothing to participate in the plot here. At most, he would only trigger one or two options. He might as well go back and practice his skills instead.
"Don't go! You're quite an interesting little monk. Play with me a little longer."
Grabbing Hao Yun, the Green Snake led him around the city aimlessly. Having just arrived in human society, the Green Snake was interested in everything, touching and looking at everything along the way.
When they arrived at the brothel, they saw how lively it was inside. If Hao Yun hadn't been holding her back, she would have already gone inside.
"Why are you pulling me? It's so lively inside. Come in and have a look."
Xiaoqing stared at the lively scene inside the brothel and pulled Hao Yun inside. Fortunately, Hao Yun had trained his physical body and was very strong. In addition, Xiaoqing did not exert any force, so they were not pulled in by the green snake.
"Wait a minute, these brothel girls aren't allowed in."
"Why? I see women inside."
Hao Yun had no choice but to explain it to Xiao Qing, and only then did she understand what a brothel was.
To Hao Yun's surprise, Xiao Qing still expressed her desire to go in and play, saying she would change her appearance if necessary.
Hao had no choice but to follow Xiaoqing into the brothel, as she was determined to go inside and take a look.
Hao Yun, dressed as a monk, was immediately stared at by countless eyes as soon as he entered. Xiao Qing, who was beside him, was not affected at all, but instead looked around curiously.
The brothel was not luxuriously decorated, but rather had a refined atmosphere. Those who came here were mostly literati and scholars, and the girls in the brothel were mostly artists who did not sell their bodies.
A madam came forward; this was the first time in all her years that a monk had come to her door.
“Little monk, this is not a place for you. If you need alms, I will go and prepare a meal for you right away.”
"Wait, I'm not here to beg for alms, I'm here with her. Find a private room, have two musicians play music, and prepare some food and wine as well."
Hao Yun remained calm. He wasn't a real monk, so what if he came to a brothel? He even drank wine and ate meat.
"Alright, please follow me, both of you."
Under the madam's strange gaze, Hao Yun led Xiao Qing into the private room.
"You humans are really strange. Since this is a place for amusement, why can't monks and women come here?"
After sitting down, Xiaoqing leaned on the table and curiously looked downstairs.
Hao Yun didn't listen to what Xiao Qing was saying at all. He thought of Huang Liang, who had taken him there the first time he came to a place like this.
Hao Yun found it somewhat amusing to recall how awkward he had been at the time.
In a short while, the madam brought in two pretty girls, and the food and wine were served.
Hao Yun tossed the madam a gold ingot and sent her away.
"Actually, there's nothing fun about it. It's just that men come here to vent their desires."
Xiaoqing didn't quite understand, after all, she was a woman, and a demon at that, and was unfamiliar with the human world.
"Boring. I thought it would be fun. Wait, isn't that my older sister?"
Leaning against the window, Xiaoqing was gnawing on a chicken leg when she happened to see her sister talking to a scholar.
"I really don't understand what my sister is thinking."
Hao Yun followed Xiao Qing's gaze and saw that it was Xu Xian. He was quite good-looking, similar to Nie Caichen, both being frail scholars.
"It's getting late, I have to go back now. See you again someday."
Hao Yun got up and left the brothel, returning to Jinshan Temple under the moonlight.
For a period of time afterward, Hao Yun cultivated every day. As for Fahai, Hao Yun kept as far away from him as possible. He could tell at a glance that Fahai was deeply entrenched in inner demons and exuded a murderous aura. He was hardly like a monk at all.
Hao Yun spent thirty days safely and returned to the main world. Hao Yun didn't like the world of immortals and Buddhas; it was too dangerous. A slight mistake could lead to his soul being scattered, and even the puppet doll couldn't save him.
Returning to the main world, Hao Yun glanced at the time: 0:00. Only a moment had passed in the main world since he transmigrated, just a blink of an eye.
After stretching his body, Hao Yun did not continue cultivating. Hao Yun had already cultivated the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon to the third chapter, which tempered his internal organs.
This is a delicate task, and Hao Yun doesn't dare to risk his life, so he can only take it slowly.
In the world of the Green Snake, there are many immortal herbs and spiritual medicines, but Hao Yun does not have the strength to obtain them. As for asking Fahai for them, Hao Yun does not have the courage. Who knows when Fahai will lose control? What if his inner demon suddenly appears and accidentally kills him?
As for asking other elders, Hao Yun was not qualified. The elixirs and medicines accumulated by Jinshan Temple had long been consumed by Fahai, and the rest were only rewarded to those who had made contributions.
Without any spiritual medicine, Hao Yun could only consume Tree Spirit Elixir, and now he had no drops left.
Without the supply of resources, Hao Yun's cultivation speed of the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon slowed down significantly.
Stepping out of the tent, Hao Yun felt conflicted, wanting to go to the world of immortals and Buddhas to obtain cultivation resources, yet also worried about losing his life.
"Ugh! It's tough!"
Hao Yun knew perfectly well that with his current strength, he wouldn't even rank among the top in the world of immortals and Buddhas.
Chapter 46 Douluo World
The next morning, the installation workers came and connected the water and electricity, and Hao Xuansuan was finally settled down on the mountain.
Over time, my mother realized that her son was determined to live on the mountain, so she stopped trying to persuade him and let him stay there.
"Why did you shave your head?"
My mom came over for a stroll this morning and was dumbfounded to see Hao Yun wandering around with a big bald head.
"It's hot outside, this is a cool place."
Hao Yun chuckled, managing to fool his mother.
"Since you're willing to stay on this mountain, then stay. Your dad and I will be going home soon. If you need anything, go find your grandpa."
His mother kept nagging Hao Yun, but Hao Yun didn't listen at all. He was fine staying on the mountain; he wouldn't starve. There was so much food to eat.
"Alright, Mom, you and Dad should go back now. I'll call you if anything happens."
After sending his mother down the mountain, Hao Yun took out a bunch of seeds from his system space, which he had managed to obtain with great difficulty from the temple.
These seeds include vegetable seeds, flower seeds, and even seeds of the sacred tree.
These are all good things. The food eaten in the temple usually has spiritual energy. Otherwise, with only two meals a day, those monks would have long since turned sallow and pale. How could they all be so sleek and healthy?
Hao Yun planted the seeds near the house, sprinkled some water on them, and then left them there.
The spiritual energy in the main world is thin, far less than that in the Green Snake World. In addition, the soil is different, so whether the seeds can take root and sprout depends entirely on fate.
With nothing to do, Hao Yun wandered around the three mountain peaks before continuing his journey. Cultivating in the main world was a waste of time; the spiritual energy was insufficient, and with no cultivation resources, the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon Technique was progressing at a snail's pace.
Clicking the "time travel" button, Hao Yun's vision blurred, and then with a thud, he fell from the sky into a room.
What's going on? The system is getting more and more unreliable. Before it was wilderness, now it's just throwing things down from the sky.
[Current World: Douluo Continent (Stay for 30 days)]
Struggling to get up, Hao Yun suddenly realized that the magical power he had cultivated from the Shangqing Inner Martial Arts Heart Sutra seemed to have disappeared. He couldn't even feel it anymore, and only a small amount was still under his control.
[Friendly reminder: This world has a complete and balanced Heavenly Dao; forces not originating from this world will be suppressed.]
"Who goes there!"
A little boy ran into the house and cautiously looked Hao Yun up and down.
Option 1: Beat Tang San up (Reward: Martial Soul Awakening)
[Option 2: Beat up Tang San in front of Tang Hao (Reward: Stay time increased by 100 days)]
Option 3: Leave nonchalantly (Reward: 100 Gold Coins)
Hao Yun stood inside the house and glanced at Tang San. He had read the novel Douluo Continent, and this should be the Holy Soul Village, the birthplace of the protagonist. However, this option was a bit tricky.
Tang Hao should be inside. If I beat Tang San in front of him, even if Tang Hao has a good temper, he would still have to take out the Clear Sky Hammer and kill me.
However, he could also choose not to choose any of them, spend thirty days in peace, and return to the main world, which was utterly hostile to him.
I've never encountered anything like this in the worlds I've visited before. Could it be that the Heavenly Dao in those worlds was incomplete, thus failing to suppress it?
It's not impossible. Ip Man's world belongs to modern society and follows the path of technology. It's normal for it to lack the Heavenly Dao or for the Heavenly Dao to be incomplete.
As for Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, it is an extension of the primordial era, in which the Dao Ancestor Hongjun merged with the Heavenly Dao, so this Heavenly Dao should also be incomplete.
Even in the world of A Chinese Ghost Story, where demons and monsters roam freely, there's no sign of divine intervention.
The world of Green Snake is similar to Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, both being extensions of the primordial world, and both depicting the Dao Ancestor Hongjun merging with the Heavenly Dao.
What are you doing at my house?
Seeing that Hao Yun hadn't spoken for a while, Tang San asked again.
"There was a slight mishap, but don't worry, I'll make up for it."
Hao Yun took out a piece of gold, placed it on the table, and turned to leave the room.
Hao Yun hasn't decided yet whether he wants to stay in this world, as the power system here is very strange.
After leaving the somewhat dilapidated house, Hao Yun walked outside the village and sat on a large rock to ponder.
If you want to stay in this world, you should definitely choose the first option: beat up Tang San to activate your martial soul.
Without a martial spirit, one cannot even cultivate. Even if the spiritual energy in this world is abundant, it will be of no use. One cannot simply endure the arduous process of tempering the physical body and only cultivate the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon.
Since immortality is impossible in this world, who knows if the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon will also be restricted by the Heavenly Dao?
However, there are still many good things in this world, such as the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. I wonder if the immortal herbs can provide what I need for cultivation.
The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is guarded by the Poison Douluo, so it seems a bit difficult for me to obtain it. After all, I only have thirty days. Even if I beat Tang San up in front of Tang Hao, I can only stay for another 100 days.
In such a short time, Hao Yun was not confident that he could cultivate the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon to the fourth chapter of perfection.
If Hao Yun couldn't cultivate the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon to the fifth chapter, he wasn't confident he could cause trouble for a Title Douluo.
Just as Hao Yun was pondering what to do, Tang San strolled over, seemingly heading up the mountain to cultivate.
After stealthily glancing at the village, Hao Yun decided to give Tang San a good beating to deal with his martial soul first, and then worry about the rest.
"Kid, how about a friendly spar?"
