Chapter 176 Please Work Hard
Chapter 176 Please Work Hard
Seeing Lu Yu's pale complexion, she calmly said,
"These are just social events that are not even considered difficult for a guest cultivator like you at the Tianji Sect."
"From the moment you pass the assessment, such things will become commonplace."
Lu Yu nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, but his gaze lowered and quickly retracted when it touched the concave curve.
Then, he smiled and asked, "Does Senior also dress like this at home?"
"If you need loose clothing, I can have my wives prepare some for you."
The Fairy Wan Yue waved her hand and said, "This black tight-fitting robe is my protective treasure and cannot be easily taken off."
"Fellow Daoist, there is no need to worry too much. Instead of trying to please me, it would be better for you to study the insights in the jade slips and make rapid progress in refining the Spirit Beast Pill."
As a protector of cultivators, one of the tasks was to urge Lu Yu to improve his skills.
Lu Yu heard this and showed a strange expression on his face. The Fairy Wan Yue had mentioned the jade slips several times before.
He was very eager to study them, but unfortunately, he couldn't understand them at all.
"Senior Wan Yue, are these insights in the jade slips really that important?"
He couldn't understand them, but it didn't prevent him from making rapid progress in refining the Spirit Beast Pill.
Although he had been a bit negligent in cultivating with his wives recently due to some frustration, he could feel that he was on the verge of a breakthrough in refining the Spirit Beast Pill.
Compared to alchemists in the Qi Refining stage, alchemists in the Foundation Building stage had a much wider range of pill formulas they could refine.
Upon hearing this, Fairy Wan Yue affirmed, "If those insights were to spread outside, they would be enough to become the foundation of a sect."
"And the greatest benefit of becoming a guest cultivator at the Tianji Sect is the emblem mark on the palm of your hand."
"It is made from extremely precious spirit beast blood."
"Even within the Qingyun Commercial Sect, guest cultivators at the Tianji Sect would have to spend a lot of effort points and spirit stones to have it engraved again."
"All these opportunities are something I envy very much."
Lu Yu heard this and his expression froze.
Indeed, just the cultivation resources that could be purchased within the identity jade slip already made him feel overwhelmed.
As for the mark on his palm, it had benefited him greatly, allowing him to advance to the Foundation Building stage in one fell swoop.
Pills that could help people improve their cultivation stage were precious no matter what kind they were, let alone this special breakthrough method.
He was about to ask more questions when Wan Yue closed the door to the quiet room.
But her voice still came through the door.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, with your exceptional talent, becoming a guest cultivator at the Tianji Sect should be a great opportunity for you to strive for."
"I hope you won't be immersed in the pleasures of married life."
As soon as her words fell, Lu Yu shook his head with a slightly flushed face.
The benefits he gained from the pleasures of married life were not something he wanted to share with others.
...
Mount Shengling.
With the conclusion of the turmoil at Mount Shengling and the escape of the Mount Shengling Patriarch, the peripheral markets and the spiritual beast resources within a hundred thousand miles of Mount Shengling had been divided among various sects.
Now, although the inner sect still belonged to Mount Shengling, the peripheral markets were gradually stabilizing under the tacit agreement of many sects.
It was said that the Mount Shengling Patriarch had benefited the most from this turmoil, absorbing the entire branch power of the Yue Ling Sect.
And his cultivation technique seemed to be similar to that of the Origin Demon Cult.
As long as he could escape the joint killing of the major sects and survive, it was only a matter of time before he became a Void God stage cultivator.
At this moment, inside the Wanling Tower in the inner sect market of Mount Shengling, Zhong Xintong frowned slightly as she held a sound transmission jade slip.
The message was very concise.
"The Qingyun Commercial Store in the Poyun City invites Fellow Daoist Zhong to attend the Foundation Building celebration banquet of our guest cultivator Lu Yu."
"Fellow Daoist can choose a date to take the fairy ship from the peripheral market of Mount Shengling to the Qingyun Pill Store."
Zhong Xintong clenched her jade-like hand, speechless for a moment.
It had only been a few years since the turmoil at Mount Shengling.
The other party had actually become a Foundation Building cultivator.
And from the message, it seemed that it was the Qingyun Commercial Sect that was organizing the Foundation Building celebration banquet on behalf of Lu Yu.
There was something unusual about this.
After learning that Tian Lingxiao and Lu Yu had missed each other, he became a guest cultivator of the Qingyun Commercial Sect through the Qingyun Commercial Store.
Zhong Xintong had made several attempts to bring him back to the Wanling Tower for cooperation.
Who would have expected that things in the world are unpredictable, and our ancestors have planned a grand scheme.
"Elder, Tian Fellow Daoist is here to see you."
The voice of a female servant came from outside the door, and Zhong Xintong responded and came in.
A female cultivator wearing a dark Daoist robe, with a somewhat worried expression on her face, walked in.
Zhong Xintong looked at the female servant beside Wang Zhi, and unexpectedly felt that she had aged quite rapidly after getting married.
Although she had some talent, in these years, she had only advanced one level due to trivial matters.
Compared to the current Fellow Daoist Lu, this female servant was completely inadequate.
"Ling Xiao."
"Do you still remember that cultivator named Lu Yu?"
Tian Ling Xiao's face showed a slight surprise, and then she obediently nodded.
"Fellow Daoist Lu has already reached Foundation Building."
"Do you regret your past choices?"
For some reason, when she heard this question, Tian Ling Xiao's face showed an indescribable sorrow.
Lu Yu.
These two words were deeply buried in her heart.
Now, mentioning it, she felt as if it had been a lifetime ago.
She still remembered the first time they met, that Fellow Daoist was quite enthusiastic towards her, it seemed interesting.
But unfortunately, herself...
If it weren't for Zhong Xintong mentioning it, she would have thought that Fellow Daoist Lu had already been soul-searched and refined by the ancestral formation.
She even remembered when Fellow Daoist Lu drank the Ling wine at Wang Zhi's Foundation Building celebration banquet.
He emphasized a word, "soil."
Now it seemed that she had missed an opportunity.
A Foundation Building cultivator?
If given another chance to choose, she believed she would definitely be willing.
"I regret it."
Zhong Xintong stood up and patted Tian Ling Xiao's shoulder, comforting her.
"Enough, the past is the past, I shouldn't have brought it up."
...
June is approaching.
On the streets of Poyun City, there were unexpectedly many Core Formation cultivators.
Especially the Core Formation elders of the Yue Ling Sect and the Voodoo Sect.
There were also many Foundation Building cultivators.
And the threshold of the Qingyun Shop was stepped on by countless cultivators.
Those who came were just hoping to try their luck and receive an invitation to the Foundation Building celebration banquet.
In the past, the reputation of the Qingyun Shop in Poyun City was not prominent.
It was only considered a first-class shop within the Star Continent.
Compared to other second or third-class shops, the goods it provided were also greatly restricted.
However, now that there is a guest cultivator from Tianji sitting in the shop, it is only a matter of time before the shop's rating is upgraded.
Moreover, even if the grade is not upgraded, the influx of resources is real.
As a result, the prices of the goods in the shop have become more affordable, making it highly competitive.
At the Good Item Exchange Meeting, the shop presented goods for exchange that far surpassed the likes of the Golden Lady's Creation Pill.
In this way, it will only enter a virtuous cycle, and its prosperity is just a natural outcome.
Outside the third-floor merit recording room.
"Elder Xu."
"There are many Gold Core cultivators claiming to be from prestigious sects who want to see you."
"Among them are elders from the Yue Ling Sect and the Voodoo Sect."
Upon hearing this, Elder Xu immediately showed a bitter smile.
