PS: Behind "Cultivation for Ten Thousand Years" are exclusive stories, and I'm listening to your suggestions for the novel. Follow the起点Chinese website's official account (add friends in WeChat - add official account - enter qdread) and whisper to me! Li Yao was taken aback, pointing at his nose: "I made you fight with your dad?"

Meng Jiang nodded:

"That's right. You know, my dad has always wanted me to apply to a cooking school to inherit the family's steamed bun shop, but my dream has always been to become the best hairdresser and makeup artist, even the best image design master!"

"My dad, you know, is as fierce as a bear, always having the final say at home, never giving me a chance to oppose. So I originally planned to give in, a cook is a cook, it's just a job after all."

"But, Little Monster, your choice to attend the Dahuang Combat Academy's Alchemy Department gave me a great impact. I thought about it all night. We are best friends, if you can stick to your dream, why can't I? So this morning, I had a big fight with my dad, and then I chose a beauty school—although it's the worst beauty school!"

Meng Jiang smiled very brightly, very proudly, pointing at his chest with his thumb, "One day, others will also call me 'Master,' the king of the image design world—Master Meng!"

Li Yao was filled with enthusiasm, hugging Meng Jiang tightly again: "The biggest gain I had in three years at Chixiao No. 2 High School was making you this good friend, this good brother! Let's both work hard in college to become masters in our respective fields!"

"Of course, I will definitely study, live, and fight with all my might. I won't be any worse than you... Although I can't become a cultivator in this life, I will still live a life of incredible brilliance!"

Meng Jiang puffed out his chest, his voice loud and clear.

The two laughed and reminisced about their high school days, their eyes slightly red. Li Yao reluctantly turned to the next person.

"Don't come up and hug me, we're not close, just ordinary friends." Ding Lingdang glared at him very vigilantly.

Li Yao smiled awkwardly, scratching his head: "That day I was just impulsive, don't take it to heart."

"I already took it to heart, my heart was greatly hurt. But if you consider majoring in martial arts and minoring in alchemy, I might feel a bit better." Ding Lingdang still didn't give up hope, looking at Li Yao with big eyes.

"Let's see, I don't even know what the situation is like in the Dahuang Combat Academy's Alchemy Department yet!" Li Yao said, approaching the last friend.

To be precise, not a friend, but a pig friend and dog friend—Zheng Dongming, who can control both spirit energy and ghost energy, a deeply hidden cultivation genius!

"Really didn't expect that you, the top student of Fog City, would choose the Dahuang Combat Academy's Alchemy Department, a trash major." Zheng Dongming said lightly.

"You, the third-ranked student of Fog City, chose the Tianhuan Academy's Martial Arts Department, isn't that the same?" Li Yao smiled slightly.

"Not the same, absolutely not the same. Although both are the worst majors among the nine, there is a fundamental difference between the Dahuang Combat Academy's Alchemy Department and the Tianhuan Academy's Martial Arts Department!"

Zheng Dongming said mysteriously.

"What difference?"

Li Yao squinted, not understanding Zheng Dongming's meaning.

"The male-to-female ratio in the Dahuang Combat Academy's Alchemy Department is ten to one, and the quality of the girls is not good; in contrast, the Tianhuan Academy's Martial Arts Department is different. Although the grades are poor, the male-to-female ratio is one to ten, and everywhere you look, there are beautiful and charming girls. The Martial Arts Department also has a lot of close-combat courses, allowing you to have zero-distance contact with senior and junior female students, feeling the collision of spirit and flesh—don't you think this is a fundamental difference?"

Zheng Dongming laughed very much.

Li Yao was speechless, staring for a long time before saying: "Indeed, it is a fundamental difference. Then I wish you have fun in the Tianhuan Academy's Martial Arts Department!"

Zheng Dongming hesitated, pulling Li Yao far away, and then activated a "soundproofing charm" beside them, whispering:

"Li Yao, about the incident on Devil Dragon Island... let's just let it go. I've never had any ambition, just wanting to be a rich second generation who eats and waits to die, my only dream is to date all the girls in the world. If I could, I wouldn't cultivate any ghost energy! So you can rest assured, even if one day my magic power is complete, I won't kill you to silence you, and you don't need to kill me to silence me before I kill you to silence you. What do you think?"

Li Yao thought for a moment: "Oh."

"Hey, I said so much, expressing my kind nature and utmost sincerity, and you just say 'oh'? Don't think I'm afraid of you. You had a lucky encounter, I had a lucky encounter too. These days, who in the cultivation world doesn't have ten or eight lucky encounters? Are you the only one who's lucky?"

Li Yao smiled, patting Zheng Dongming's shoulder:

"See, no matter what I say now, you won't believe me, and no matter what you say, I won't believe you. Since that's the case, let's both sprint full speed on the path of cultivation, reach the peak of our respective fields, and then compete!"

As he spoke, a dilapidated long-distance flying shuttle slowly landed.

Li Yao leaped aboard, waving to the crowd: "Let's go, everyone. If everything goes well, in three months—maybe I'll be a real cultivator!"

...

From that day on, Li Yao traveled through the mountains and waters of the Starlight Federation.

His first stop was the "Nanjidi Island" in the southernmost part of the federation.

This is a very small island, with only a palm-sized part exposed above the water, so it is also called "Palm Island."

However, under the water, cultivators have built a large-scale underwater city around the continuous underwater mountain range.

The residents live in crystal-clear crystal bubbles, using "water-repelling pearls" to clear the way, and using a special underwater jet-powered flying shuttle for transportation.

They raise a large number of colorful corals and a variety of fish, shrimp, crabs, and turtles in the sea, providing the freshest seafood to the entire federation.

The girls here love to wear pearl shirts made of tiny pearls.

Every night, the sea is pitch black. They wear colorful pearl shirts, sitting among the corals, playing spirit flutes that can sound underwater, waiting for strong and powerful underwater men to quietly approach from the darkness.

Li Yao enjoyed the colorful and splendid underwater scenery and the freshest and sweetest seafood here. Then he returned to the mainland and headed southwest.

On the fourth day of his journey, he arrived at "Lantern City."

This is a town built in the vast rainforest in the southern part of the federation. There are no high-rise buildings here. Cultivators use secret techniques to continuously enlarge the fruit of a special plant called "lantern tree" in the rainforest, turning them into houses hanging from the branches.

The residents live inside the lantern fruits. At night, the fruits emit a colorful glow, turning the entire city into a sea of lanterns.

Due to the inconvenient transportation in the rainforest, the residents here love to ride a spirit beast that looks like a giant grasshopper, jumping and leaping between the branches, harvesting precious herbs in the jungle.

Whenever a guest comes from afar, the residents invite the guest to ride the giant grasshopper together. If a newcomer can successfully ride the giant grasshopper for more than one minute on their first try, they are considered a true hero and receive the best treatment as a VIP.

Li Yao tried three times and was thrown off by the giant grasshopper at the last moment each time, forcing him to admit defeat reluctantly.

Although he didn't receive VIP treatment, when the rainforest girls, wearing grass skirts with skin as smooth as honey, applied cooling ointment to him, he still felt a unique flavor.

On the ninth day of his journey, Li Yao arrived at "Blade Snow Mountain."

Although it is not the highest peak in the Starlight Federation, it is one of the most difficult mountains to climb.

The entire snow mountain is like a bright sword, piercing the sky.

The steepest parts are as smooth as a mirror, with no footholds, and the mountain is surrounded by strong gales all year round, making it difficult even for cultivators riding flying swords to reach the summit.

However, at the top of the snow mountain, there grows the extremely precious Seven-Star Snow Lotus, a natural ingredient essential for several high-level enhancement potions.

Thus, this place produces the best flying sword experts in the federation.

Every November, when the gales are the strongest and the Seven-Star Snow Lotus blooms, countless flying sword experts soar into the air, rushing to the top of the snow mountain where the gales rage.

They dart left and right in the storm, finding gaps in the wind, grasping the rhythm of the wind, and even enduring the turbulence for three to five days, ultimately conquering the gales and harvesting the most precious herbs!

When Li Yao arrived, although it was not the month when the snow lotus blooms, there were still many flying sword experts gathered around the snow mountain, training in the wind. The dazzling aerial maneuvers made Li Yao very excited.

If in aerial combat, the combat power of these flying sword experts is no less than that of any flying demon beast.

In the following three months, Li Yao traveled through the mountains, rivers, rainforests, hills, deserts, oases, and farmlands of the federation, seeing countless strange and unique towns.

There is a town located on a very active volcano, with the entire volcano sealed by a huge talisman array.

It is said that 400 years ago, this volcano erupted, destroying more than a dozen nearby towns. A cultivator sealed the volcano and brought his family to live here, guarding the volcano.

To this day, the family has developed into a new town, but they have not forgotten their mission, calling themselves "mountain guardians."

There is a town completely built on the backs of hundreds of huge "mountain camels."

Mountain camels are one of the largest spirit beasts on the land of Tianyuan. Each mountain camel is like a whale surfacing from the sea. People build houses on the backs of mountain camels, with dozens of families living on each mountain camel, and hundreds of mountain camels forming a mobile city.

The residents of this city live by herding. As the seasons change, they drive the mountain camels to chase after lush grass and water, herding fat cattle and sheep—Li Yao ate the most tender lamb of his life here, boiled in water for ten minutes, the blood still not coagulated, melting in his mouth like nectar, rolling down his throat.

There is another town... there is another town... (A good activity where the sky drops pies, cool phones are waiting for you!
