.:An Adventure to Remember:.
Who: Meng Yao, Subaru Akehoshi, Rantarou Amami
What: Some basic lessons are happening in the background, but some (mis?)adventures as well. Surely nothing will go wrong in a wonderful place such as this? Other than MY growing premature grey hairs. Either way, it's Exchange Program time, bby.
Where: Lanling Proper, and Koi Tower.
When: October 11th - October 17th.
Warnings: Potential death which will happen regardless and/or violence. Disturbing themes may be mentioned because JGS exists and golden end Lanling is still questionable. Just happier.
WELCOME TO LANLING—
The city is home to what is currently the largest cultivation sect around. It is prosperous and filled with many smiling faces. There are children who run through the streets, shop owners showing their wears, and people frequenting the establishments—inns, restaurants, you name it.
At the heart of the city is an important compound, Koi Tower. It seems to unfold before anyone who comes near it majestically, starting with the stairs and ending with the peerless infrastructure. It's terrific state is more than can be described in mere words, needless to say.
There are various gardens here or there, filled with a majority of the sect's symbol and flower—Sparks-Admist-Snow white peonies.
There is also one lotus pond located on the premises, but that is located somewhere towards the inner families' lodgings, and anyone passing through had better be someone who is part of the Jin Sect or a servant lest they wish to get into trouble.
As expected there is a magnificent reception area, a banquet hall, and another more extraordinary garden that houses a painting well done by a cultivator of renown. Said cultivator can be found around the city at certain points.
On the flipside, there are cultivators who are rather stuck up, though that goes the same for a good amount of the residents. Though the Sect Leader, Jin Guangshan is rather insufferable even if he is unfortunately talented at conducting himself with grace. Then there is Jin Zixun, who is neither graceful nor talented, but far more easy to encounter.
There is also, of course, the Treasure Vault. Another place that is actually guarded periodically though there are some dips in security due to the overconfidence the people have here.
Though even in this idyllic setting, there are places of ill repute if someone were to go looking around. Such as where others would sell weapons or other...things that are illegal or frowned down upon supposedly in Lanling. Hidden deep within the forest nearby that is essentially also part of Lanling, there is even a strange training ground that has been sectioned off by members of the Jin Sect. Going further where that is concerned is something that should be avoided lest anyone would want to experience a rather trying time, putting it very lightly. At the very least they'll shoo any wanderers away as long as they don't cause trouble or try to truly sneak in.
This is a city of golden times. But it doesn't mean that is the case for those outside of it or not caught within its golden age.
But whatever the case, their ends will be the same. Though, before that, shouldn't they enjoy their time while they still can?

Intentions carry an energy of its own, huh... That's true with anything, as long as you've got good intentions then things'll work out~.
[as long as those good intentions don't go into "the ends justify the means" and you kill people in the name of hope,
anyway he's a hypocrite for thinking intentions are fine without consideration to what it entails. subaru'll practice writing.]
Are cultivators like, born with that energy stuff?
no subject
[ Nie Mingjue would probably say something that sums up as (citation needed) but you know what, this isn't about him. ]
Well, as a general rule, people are born with some form of spiritual energy. Technically, depending on how much time we spend here it isn't exactly out of the question to start lessons on how to properly utilize spiritual energy. But, developing a golden core does happen to take years, and so that is the reason why that cultivators aren't born with one. They have to train in order to create it in the first place.
And once they do, that is how they—or those like myself—are able to properly draw on or use spiritual energy.
[ Though with resentful energy you can kind of get around that, but it's not so good with in regards to health, so he's not going to touch on cultivating that. Though he figures he should mention it in other contexts seeing as that is something that seems to be present in more than occasional amounts at that school... ]
no subject
[but it'd take a while, probably... subaru doesn't have a while like that... so he'll stick with talismans and maybe try and do whatever amami learns too because he wants to matchies with his newest bff]
I guess it's kind of like the magic Natsume does, then~. He says you have to draw it out too, but I've only been able to do it, like, once.
[... every time he tried after he couldn't get the same spark and it sucks]
