Although out of respect for Wang Jingyi, even if Wang Yulou were among the dogs in the clouds and between the mountains, he would point at a dog and call it a qilin, but Yulou is indeed not a dog.
He immediately bowed as the headmaster approached.
"Wang family Yulou greets the headmaster!"
Qu Yunjian laughed heartily and said.
"Yulou, get up, we have met before. Let's not mention those things."
I had an old acquaintance with Daoist Jingyi, which makes me half an elder for you. When you first joined the Drops Cave, I signed the Law of entering the Green Water Palace for you.
But you're getting married tomorrow, and I just found out today. Why didn't you invite me?"
Wang Xianzhou scanned Qu Yunjian's eyes and did not speak.
The surname Qu speaks well, and he is a half-elder. Let alone, there is some noise to it. His word belongs to both stinky and silent.
For three years, he didn't pay attention to, or contact Wang Yulou even once. Is there such a senior?
"Master, Senior Uncle, I don't know this. Tomorrow, Yulou will be performing the ritual of accepting a concubine, and there is no need for you to trouble yourself."
Wang Yulou provided an explanation, and Qu Yunjian was even more puzzled.
You take a concubine, and bring two foundation-building stand-ins from the Wang family. What is this supposed to be?
However, he did not dwell on it. As the headmaster of the Drops Cave, Qu Yunjian had too many things to worry about and didn't have the heart to care about the little cultivator Wang Yulou.
"Alright, Daoist Jingyi, my door is filled with mundane affairs. Today I will send you off here, and tomorrow I will come over again."
After Yulou's wedding is over, we'll invite a few like-minded cultivators and have a good discussion about cultivation and exchange our insights on the path. Hahaha."
Qu Yunjian answered two words to Wang Yulou, but he talked a lot with Wang Jingyi.
To put it bluntly, he can chat in a friendly manner with a little cultivator of Qianqi Sanjie level, Wang Yulou, purely on the basis of Wang Jingyi and Wang family's face.
Phrases like "half-elder" are to Wang Xianzhou what stinking and musty garbage is, but how many people wish they could give them a try and never get the chance.
Wang Jingyi nodded slightly, without saying much. Qu Yunjian knew that his fellow cultivator had such a temperament, so he simply went back home.
However, on his way back, he pondered a bit and sent a transmission note to the ushers of the Master's Hall, asking them to send Wang Yulou's records to him as soon as possible.
There's no such thing as "worldly affairs weighing on me." That's none of Qu Yunjian's business. The master's main responsibility is to take care of the three Purple Palaces and make some final decisions. Various minor tasks are handled by the little oxen and horses below.
However, just an hour later, the master's hall in the Drops Cave was giving a sermon to his newly recruited disciple when he was shocked by the documents sent by his subordinates through the seal of the master.
Seeing the master suddenly become serious and his expression stiffen, the female disciple asked in a shy and afraid manner.
"Master. Why aren't you moving? What did I do wrong?"
Patted the good disciple's ass, Qu Yunjian got up, did not explain the reason, but directly issued an order.
"Go, quickly fetch Master Yuan."
"Ah? Who is Master Yuan?" The female disciple was still confused, not understanding the situation. It seems that he was still here, but now why do you need to invite a master uncle?
Master, you are talking in riddles and I am a little scared.
"Idiot, you mean Master Shendao."
Qu Yunjian's face was alternating between dark and light, his mood was strange, and although he was recently favored by the master, he actually cursed at him.
Seeing the master like this, the female disciple dare not delay.
Since she has chosen the shortcut, she must accept the cost. Whatever Qu Yunjian wants to do, she can only endure it.
Since Yuan's family is large, Master Yuan Daoshen is one of the few experienced Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Drops Cave, and his strength is extraordinary. His cave is also located outside the Drops Heaven, and he arrived at Qu Yunjian's place after receiving the message in just half a moment.
To her surprise, the female disciple found herself kicked out by her master. For a moment, she didn't know whether to be grateful or sorry.
If she had two Foundation Establishment cultivators serving her, could her blessings be few?
"Cloud Interval, why did you suddenly"
Qu Yunjian's sister married the third brother of Yuan Daoshen, and their relationship was allied by family ties.
In the daily struggles among various families and factions in the Drops Cave, the Qu family often aligned with the Yuan family.
Thus, their interactions were very close, and there was nothing to be ashamed of.
"Brother, Daoist Jingyi from the Hanging Zhu Ren Sect visited our cave today. I'll walk her to the gate"
The situation is more or less like this. In just three years, the Wang family's junior has cultivated from Qianqi Level 1 to Qianqi Level 3.
Now, he is only holding a concubine ceremony, but Wang family has sent two Foundation Establishment cultivators, and Daoist Jingyi has even come personally.
I suspect that the Wang family arranged this disciple to join our Drops Cave, and now they are making a big show of this unseemly concubine ceremony. There must be another purpose behind it!
Yuan Daoshen naturally knows what it means to go from Qianqi Level 1 to Qianqi Level 3 in just three years. Even for cultivators with single spiritual roots, such a cultivation speed is difficult. For Qianqi cultivators who want to cultivate faster, either they rely on their talent or resources.
But three years of foundation establishment is not about talent and resources anymore. It means extraordinary talent as well as far greater resource allocation than usual.
The marginal effect of increasing the speed of cultivation is very low. With a monthly expenditure of a thousand spirit stones for Wang Yulou's cultivation, the effect is only twice as good as the double spiritual root Qianqi cultivator who spends a hundred spirit stones per month.
A tenfold cost, a tenfold gain!
Yuan Daoshen was too knowledgeable. There was a decisive ferocity and domineering ambition in it.
What kind of ambition?
The two people silently looked at each other, and both saw the answer in each other's eyes.
Yuan Daoshen was silent for a long time, thinking about many and many things.
"Is it the intention of Muyang Zhenren?"
There will be small factions within the power, and the security of North King Wang's family can be considered an offshoot of Muyang bloodline. Now they want to cultivate a seed of Zi Fu within our Drops Cave, and there are many possibilities behind it.
The elder Yuan is most worried that this is a layout by the Muyang Zhenren.
To preemptively occupy a position and wait for him to become a true cultivator before training a purple for in the Drops Cave.
By then, the situation of Muyang bloodline will be different again.
A young cultivator with a purple palace can do too many things.
And the situation within Drops Cave is complicated enough. If Wang Yulou is truly Muyang Zhenren's pawn, Yuan family's future purple palace plan will directly collide with that cultivator who will soon achieve the true cultivation!
"Brother, whether it's the intention of the true cultivator or not, we need to make preparations in advance. What do you think?"
Qu Yunjian was worried about this very thing, which is why he notified Yuan Daoshen immediately.
For these years, what has been fighting among various factions and mountains in the Drops Cave been for?
It's not just about the next purple palace in the Drops Cave, is it?
The Wuyue Mountain and the Drops Cave, as the two largest vassal organizations of the Red Light sect, both have three purple palaces.
However, the previous previous master of Wuyue Mountain, Li Haping, is now cultivating the purple palace. Observing the current trend, they have taken advantage of Muyang Zhenren's golden-dan cultivation and have a great chance of success in the future.
Naturally, the Drops Cave also needs to start its own purple palace plan. That's why there was the murder of Yuan Si and the joint crackdown by the Yuan family and Qu Yunjian for three years.
Now, they are about to fight each other with their dog brains, but suddenly an outsider appears, but he is an outsider of the Muyang line and he is coming in force. Ah.
Yuan Daoshen, whose face alternated between dark and light, managed a weak smile and replied.
"No harm done. Whether the next purple palace of our sect appears in which family, it is a great good for the sect. Qu Yunjian, we should have such breadth of mind!"
In fact, both of them have over-thought things. Wang Yulou doesn't have the support of Muyang at all. He came to Drops Cave just for the purpose of cultivating along the Shuimian Qie Shui Qi.
——————————
"Hé wān yú gǎng, Yù yāo tái."
In the mansion of Wang Yulou, he was discussing with three elders.
It was mainly the elder grandmaster Jingyi asking and Wang Yulou answering.
"Have you made enemies with others?"
Wang Jingyi sat in the foremost position, Wang Rongji sat on the right, Wang Xianzhou sat on the left, and Yulou sat opposite to grandmaster Jingyi.
The old ancestor doesn't know what kind of cultivation he has undergone, and there is a great difference from the last time he saw her. What was once skillful in the use of his abilities for martial arts and spiritual cultivation has now become difficult to control.
She just sat there, and the entire room was plunged into darkness. Although the artificial sun outside was bright, it was very dark inside.
Upon hearing the ancestor's question, Yulou quickly replied.
"No, I have basically never moved in these three years. I have always been practicing in the mansion, so there is no chance of me making enemies with others."
This can be attested by grandmaster Xianzhou.”
Old ancestor, I've been very well-behaved!
"Xianzhou, in your observation, who might be a dangerous person to Yulou?"
"I happened to come this time, and I killed him by accident. Preventing any unexpected accidents."
Yulou was somewhat shocked; it's really Master Jingyi's doing!
At the beginning, Grandmaster Jingyi sliced off the red eyebrow of the fat cow with his sword. Now, the first thing he came to stand by was to make a list and start killing.
The rules of the Immortal Alliance?
Sorry, Grandmaster Jingyi has already stood on a level that ignores the hierarchy of the Immortal Alliance's restrictions on Foundation Establishment cultivators!
Moreover, the Drops Heaven is only semi-connected with the outside world. The Alliance of Immortals inside the cave...
Wang Xianzhou was about to say that there was none, but then he suddenly thought of the demon beast known as Shi Zu.
He hesitated for a moment, stood up, and walked to Wang Jingyi's side, putting his hand on Wang Jingyi's shoulder.
Wang Jingyi's eyes constricted, directly releasing the newly cultivated Godly Method——To be precise, it was the Little Godly Method of the Land and Heaven.
Of course, if you call it the Little Godly Method of the Land and Heaven, it doesn't sound very impressive, like the First True Immortal Law. It's better to call it the Godly Method of the Land and Heaven, which is more imposing and domineering.
The effect of the Godly Method of the Land and Heaven is extremely domineering. In fact, after it was unfolded, everything within a radius of several tens of thousands of feet around Wang Jingyi temporarily separated from Drops Heaven. This separation is both physically "far away" and conceptually "isolated".
Far away, not the physical distance of far away, but rather its existence is "far away" from the original Drops Heaven because of the blocking of the Land and Heaven Without Form, thus achieving isolation.
Any attempt to peek into the Land and Heaven Without Form from within Drops Heaven must pass through the Land and Heaven Without Form in Master Jingyi's hands.
However, this "far away" and "isolation" do not mean that the space within a radius of several tens of thousands of feet is actually left.
They simply become 'formless' under the effect of the divine art. Once the divine art stops, they will return to their normal state.
It is precisely because she has such a divine art that Master Jingyi dares to help Wang Yulou count down the list of enemies - without a true cultivator, the Immortal Alliance's Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot find her!
"Just say it directly. This divine art has the ability to block and no one can listen in." Wang Jingyi said.
"Sister, Wang Yulou just took over the River Bay Fish Port and found that the frequency of attacks by demons has increased in the past seventy years. He turns out to be a slave of a great demon!"
"The demon beast has cultivation and magic, so I have won the bet. However, whether it can be killed, I'm not quite sure. What do you think, sister?"
Drops Heaven is the legacy of the revered Drops Xianzun, and its control is in the hands of his three disciples. Considering the statement that 'the demon beast is necessary' by Zhu Chi.
Wang Jingyi pondered for a moment, weighing the words carefully before saying,
"You go and contact Wu Jinyan, ask him to come here as a representative of the Immortal Alliance. Just say that I want to see him!"
Wang Xianzhou's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly to show understanding.
So, Wang Yulou saw that Master Jingyi removed the divine art, and Grandmaster Xianzhou went out the door, riding on a spiritual crane and flying away.
"This..." Wang Rongji was somewhat puzzled.
"Yulou, do you have any other questions?" Wang Jingyi smiled and continued to help Wang Yulou solve his problems.
Considering the strength of their own ancestor and the background of practicing within the Red Light sect, Wang Yulou thought that perhaps Master Jingyi could guide him on how to break through the bottleneck after reaching the sixth level of Qì training in the future.
Even Wang Xianzhou, who was present, couldn't think of a hundred percent effective method.
The strategy of swallowing pills to break through cannot be used, as this precious strategy that may affect the future breakthrough should be used after foundation establishment.
"Old Ancestor, in terms of cultivation, I will inevitably face... In other words, Grandmaster Xianzhou's opinion is that one should not use pills to break through during the Qì training stage. But the bottleneck at the sixth level is definitely harder than the current third-level bottleneck. Do you have any good strategies?"
Wang Rongji slightly envied him, when he was in the third level of Qì training, no one told him that he couldn't use pills to break through.
Wang Yulou is a lucky guy. With Grandmaster Xianzhou's favor, his foundation establishment may just be the beginning, and who knows what the future holds?
"Stimulate with spiritual materials!" Master Jingyi said immediately.
"Stimulating with spiritual materials can be helpful for those with weaker foundations, but it won't work for you, Yulou. You need to stimulate with spiritual materials."
Stimulating with spiritual materials is to supplement the foundation deficiency, while stimulating with spiritual materials is to stimulate your body's potential by using the spiritual essence and spiritual veneer contained in the spiritual materials, thus achieving rapid breakthrough.
Drops Heaven has a seventh-grade spiritual material, the Marvelous Azure Water, and Red Light Sect has a seventh-grade spiritual material, the Lava Fire Liquid. When you reach the sixth level of Qì training, contact me, and I will arrange for someone to use these two types of spiritual materials to help you break through the bottleneck.
You have water and fire elemental roots, and as long as there are master healers and I present, it will be easy to break through the bottleneck."
Alright, Yulou didn't expect that, as a small Qì trainee, he could enjoy such treatment. If the bottleneck at the sixth level can be quickly passed, the question of reaching Qì training completion at the age of fifty would not be a problem!
Moreover, from the tone of Master Jingyi, she even didn't intend to make Wang Yulou pay with spirit stones, and she didn't mention the cost of using spiritual materials at all.
Wang Jia's little unicorn is like that, Wang Yulou only needs to show his talents, and the elders in the family will continue to support him, ensuring a bright future for him.
After a few more discussions, Wu Jinyan arrived at the Wang Yulou mansion upon the summoning of Master Jingyi.
Grandmaster Xianzhou is also a remarkable person. He even specifically instructed Wu Jinyan to fully exert his spiritual essence when arriving at the River Bay Fishing Village to support Wang Yulou's work.
It's hard to say. The demeanor of the Immortal Alliance's supervisors is like that. Compared to the first two waves of Wang Rongjiang, Wang Jingyi, and Qǔ Yúnjiān, the third wave of Wu Jǐnyán coming to support work looks a bit... Give respect to Senior Wu.
After all, he has also come to support Yulou's work.
"Are you Wu Jinyan?"
Wang Jingyi sat there, and the surrounding space was all black. Looking at the somewhat indescribable meaning of the Red Light Sect's true disciples, Wu Jinyan bowed and answered nervously.
"Yes, Senior."
Senior
Upon hearing this, Wang Rongjiang and Wang Xianzhou didn't show any emotions, while Wang Yulou looked even more serious. It was only Wang Jingyi who smiled.
"Call her sister, I have called you this time to"
Saying this, she unleashed the Godly Method of the Land and Heaven, and the blackness of the heavens and earth enveloped Wu Jinyan. Poor little Wu was scared, thinking he would be executed right there on the spot.
Seeing Wu Jinyan summon an upper-grade artifact to resist, Wang Rongji barely held back. However, Wang Yulou and Wang Xianzhou were holding up quite well.
Grandmaster Xianzhou is knowledgeable and well-versed in various things, while Wang Yulou holds great respect for Senior Wu — Senior Wu will undoubtedly be of great use in the future!
"Little Wu, relax. Our conversation will not be heard by the big cultivators within my divine art."
Wang Jingyi had no intention of attacking Little Wu. After making a big fool of himself, Wu Jinyan awkwardly withdrew his artifact and, with a lingering fear in his heart, thought that foundation establishment in the great clans was indeed different — even their conversations had to be kept away from the ears of big cultivators.
"Senior Sister Wang, junior."
"Alright, I'll be straight with you. A big demon has appeared within Drops Heaven. As an Immortal Alliance supervisor, you need to fulfill your responsibilities and eliminate the demon."
"Ah, me?" Little Wu was a bit dumbfounded. He pointed to himself, looking incredulous.
To have him kill a demon, or a big demon.
That's not cutting a demon, that's giving the big demon a feast!
"It was discovered by the Immortal Alliance representative Wang Xianzhou, who reported it to you. Since you know me, he invited me to help you eliminate the demon."
In short, it's just using your name for a favor. After killing the big demon, I'll share a tenth of the spoils with you. How about that?
With Master Jingyi's explanation, Little Wu, or rather, Wu Jinyan, finally put down his worried heart.
This little quick-witted guy turned his eyes, and spoke up.
"No need for a tenth, half will do, half will do, I'll just lend my name!"
Wang Jingyi looked at him deeply for a moment, without saying much, and only nodded slightly.
"We'll leave right now. The sooner we go, the better. In fact, whether the big demon is still in its original location is still unknown."
Master Jingyi, with a worried Wu Jinyan, went to seek the Stone Ancestor, while the remaining two elders chatted with Wang Yulou for a while longer.
Wang Yulou has been away from home for three years and is very concerned about the situation within the clan. Wang Rongji naturally knows everything without being asked.
——
On the other side, the guards at the entrance and exit of the heavenly realm changed shifts and returned to their respective homes.
As soon as they were off duty, the guards at the entrance and exit of the Heavenly Realm immediately reported to the elders in the clan today's visit by two visiting Wangs.
Yes, the guards are all descendants of the Qì establishment families within Drops Heaven.
The logic isn't complicated. Under the closed-type sickle system of Drops Heaven, guarding the entrance and exit of the heavenly realm is a highly lucrative position.
One of these guards happened to be Lin Ying's uncle, Lin family member.
He reported the visit by the two Wangs who were foundation-building to Senior ancestor Lin Hongtai at the ancestor's mansion outside of Drops Heaven, belonging to the Lin family.
The reason for the report was simple: Wang Jingyi's foundation establishment was so powerful that anyone with a bit of brain would know.
That Wang Jingyi and Wang Rongjiang both entered the heavenly realm in succession to attend a family member's wedding indicates that the powerful cultivator family, the King of Anbei, is actively supporting the development of one of its clan members within Drops Heaven.
In this case, the external forces like the Wangs who are injecting resources can be seen as potential allies for various factions within Drops Heaven.
In the future, as the Wangs establish themselves within Drops Heaven, their value as allies will continue to increase.
Being from a cultivator family, reaching the Qì training level, and being assigned to a plum post like the entrance and exit of the heavenly realm — there aren't many idiots or wastrels who would do such a thing. They naturally see this potential.
"Alright, I understand. But it's a shame."
After hearing Lin Er's report, Senior ancestor Lin Hongtai shook his head with an odd expression.
The fact that there is a young cultivator from the Anbei King Wang family practicing within the heavenly realm, he had actually known about it since Lin Ying fought against Ji Yuan and Wang Yulou with the Iron Crocodile Dragon.
However, Ji Yuan had let the Iron Crocodile Dragon go, and it was then that Lin Ying reported the incident to Senior ancestor Lin Hongtai, and Wang Yulou reported it to the Swamp Pool.
Based on this incident, many foundation establishment cultivators within Drops Heaven began clandestine confrontations. The result was Yuan Si's blood shedding before the Jade Water Palace, and the Yuan family beginning to retaliate.
As for Wang Yulou, those with intentions within Drops Heaven are all aware of him, but no one could have imagined that the Wang family would place such importance on this disciple.
If they had known this earlier, then perhaps Lin Ying could have joined the Wang family.
Lin Ying cultivates Wood Dao, and so does the Wang family. If Lin Ying had joined the Wang family, she wouldn't have been treated unfairly but would have gained something instead.
However, it's hard to buy early knowledge with a thousand taels of silver. Since things have reached this point, and Wang Yulou's big wedding is just around the corner, Lin Hongtai no longer thought about it.
The Zhu family, Zhu Pool and Zhu Yinyang are in negotiations.
"So you're saying that Wang Yulou has always been favored by the Wang clan patriarch?"
Zhu Yinyang is over three hundred years old, with a stature similar to Zhu Pool's, not very tall, but he is a senior foundation establishment cultivator with divine abilities.
That's why he was able to lead the Zhu and Yuan families in a battle.
He was wearing a robe made of feathers of unknown origin, looking like a shaman from a primitive tribe, but there was spiritual essence flowing on the robe — it was a spiritual artifact!
The robes of cultivators often reflect their wealth and status, but this robe seemed to prioritize appearance over practicality.
However, Zhu Yinyang's feather robe is actually a spiritual artifact-level item, so it's not a big deal that it looks a bit shabby.
"Yes, he secretly gave me a mansion made of spirit wood, and had me give it to Wang Yulou. He said the reason for giving it to Wang Yulou was that he didn't want Wang Yulou to become too arrogant because of his favoritism. So he had an outsider like me give it."
But being favored and becoming arrogant? I think that's just an excuse. Now that I think about it, Wang Xianmao's behavior actually shows that his mind is confused.
Wang Xianmao highly favors Wang Yulou. Now, even two foundation-building Wangs have come to attend his wedding.
Old Ancestor, I think we could try to pull this kid into our camp. In the future, he is likely to have a chance at foundation establishment."
Zhu Pool provided an analysis and a plan.
However, Zhu Yinyang's turbid eyes stared straight at Zhu Pool. Under the gaze of Senior Ancestor, Zhu Pool tensely pursed her lips.
"You only see these?" The gravelly voice of the Zhu family patriarch echoed in the spacious room, even raising faint echoes.
Faced with the disappointed gaze of the patriarch, Zhu Pool felt an even greater pressure in her heart.
"Alright, tomorrow you go and give him a gift. Remember, give it after the Yuan family. "
"No matter how much Yuan family gives, we will give more!"
Zhu Pool took the order and left. Zhu Yinyang removed the feathers-made robe, and his body beneath it was already covered in sores and had deteriorated to an unrecognizable state.
He scolded the newly grown rot with a knife, sighing to himself in the dark.
As fellow foundation establishment cultivators and from the same family background, the gap between people is just too great.
Zhu Yinyang believed that both Yuan Daoshen and Qu Yunjian definitely had the same idea as himself, but Zhu Pool just couldn't understand it.
How could a dull and mediocre talent survive in a pack of wolves and safeguard his family?
But once on this path, no one can easily step back or withdraw.
You want to leave, but others want to clean up your flesh, even if it's rotting flesh.
Even your bones will be drawn out and used as spiritual materials!
Zhu Yinyang stuffed the rotten flesh he had scraped from his body into his mouth, enduring the stench as he swallowed it down.
No matter how difficult, one must still move forward.
Not only for himself, but also for the Zhu family!
——————————
The marriage is to take place tomorrow, but unlike the anxious and hesitant Qin Chu Ran, Bai Xiaoyu has not the slightest sense of being nervous about becoming someone else's wife.
Stepping onto the controls platform, Bai Xiaoyu's robe made of snow-cotton grass fluttered gracefully with her movements, giving off an ethereal and carefree beauty.
Despite not having practiced qì, Bai Xiaoyu has already gained a unique demeanor through the effect of her pure heart.
Upon entering Wang Yulou's mansion, Bai Xiaoyu first popped the brightly polished red crest of the third Old Phoenix, waking up the dozing lazy bird. She then laughed and ran away.
She ran, and Old Phoenix No. 3 chased after her; she stopped, and he stopped as well.
The bird also knew it couldn't be too harsh to Bai Xiaoyu, and the pursuit was merely for show.
Bai Xiaoyu turned her eyes around, and she was immediately in motion. This time, she became the chaser, running after Old Phoenix No. 3 all around the courtyard.
Old Phoenix No. 3 was also stupid. Maybe because he just woke up, he forgot that he could fly. After running two circles, he finally jumped up and down before flying into the air.
Seeing the white-clothed female cultivator pointing at him and laughing on the ground, Old Phoenix No. 3's evil thoughts arose in his heart, and he flew to Bai Xiaoyu's head.
It adjusted its trajectory and was about to give it a good push when a stone from Wang Xianzhou hit its buttocks, causing it to fall straight down.
"Ha ha ha, stupid bird!"
Watching Old Phoenix No. 3 rubbing his backside with his wings, gurgling in pain and distress, Bai Xiaoyu couldn't stop laughing with joy.
"Alright, Xiaoyu, don't pick a fight with it. Are you here to see Yulou?"
"Yes, Senior Ancestor~" Bai Xiaoyu nodded in respect as she saw the drowsily lying Wang Xianzhou on a reclining chair.
"Ha ha, go ahead. He's always in his quiet room. You know that. Go."
Senior Ancestor Xianzhou watched Bai Xiaoyu's back as she left, satisfied, nodding his head. This girl has a kind of spirituality.
It's not the spiritual energy of cultivation, but a unique demeanor that makes even Senior Ancestor Xianzhou, when he saw it, couldn't help but praise Wang Yulou's good fortune.
In fact, Yulou doesn't feel that he is lucky. He believes that he has achieved what he has today solely due to his hard work.
There are many family favors and great platform supports, but Yulou always considers himself as the one who truly brought him to where he is today.
So even though the wedding is to take place tomorrow, Yulou is still squeezing in time for cultivation.
As soon as Xiaoyu entered the quiet room, she saw Yulou naked, sitting in the bathtub soaking in a medicinal bath. The medicine was made primarily from grand lifeblood grass, essence of demon beast flesh, and red spirit ginseng, with many different auxiliary materials added in, including some materials from precious metals and stones.
Grand lifeblood grass, demon beast blood and flesh essence, and red spirit ginseng are the ingredients for the three-red spinal marrow gel, which the Wang family already possesses the refining formula for. Wang Xianzhou has made many improvements to this formula based on Yulou's spiritual root and physical characteristics.
The final effect is what you see now.
Yulou is sitting cross-legged in the bathtub, with a red fire burning underneath the firewood-made basin where he is soaking.
Wang Rongjiang is also sweating profusely, but his sweat is due to the fact that he has to control the red fire burning below the bathtub to keep Yulou warm.
This task used to be done by Senior Ancestor Xianzhou, but now with the arrival of the young horse and mule Wang Rongjiang, the old ancestor can have a break.
It took two and a half times the foundation-building treasure to achieve foundation success, and Wang Rongjiang owes the clan too much.
He now understands his own talent, which should have nothing to do with the Zi Fu, so he knows that the only thing he needs to do in the future is slowly repay his clan - two and a half times.
"Xiaoyu, wait outside first!" Yulou gritted his teeth and spoke up.
Spiritual fire is usually used for fighting, refining artifacts, and concocting pills. Using it to refine a person is naturally not comfortable.
But under the stimulation of spiritual fire, the effects of the three-red body refining potion can be better absorbed by him, compared to how painful it is.
Wang Xianzhou had originally intended to feed Yulou with pain-relieving spiritual pills during his body refining process, of course, this type of spiritual pill doesn't require such high specifications as the retracing vein pain-relieving spiritual pill, so its price is relatively lower.
However, after Yulou had refused a few times, Senior Ancestor Xianzhou finally put down the cauldron, though it was only temporarily.
After being kicked out of the door by her husband, Xiaoyu pursed her lips and started looking for Little Stone Tortoise.
This stone turtle must have been scared by the few guests today, as it had dug itself a hole and crawled into the ground in the corner of the courtyard to hide.
But under the pursuit of Xiaoyu, its hiding was no better than stealing the bell while covering one's ears. The little stone turtle that was dragged up by its tail gave a sound like a piglet's groan.
What's the point of hiding? I'll be half your master too, and if you hide again, I'll beat you.
As Bai Xiaoyu was interacting with Little Stone Turtle, Wang Jingyi, who had gone to find the location of the Stone Ancestor, returned alone to the River Bay Fishing Port. As she passed by Bai Xiaoyu's side, she noticed the little stone turtle on Bai Xiaoyu's hand.
"Are you Bai Xiaoyu?"
"Yes, Senior Ancestor."
"Earth and Water Spiritual Root."
"Yes."
Wang Jingyi's aura is not very intimidating, but she has just mastered the Wuxiang Tiandi spiritual art for a short time, and the art shows its power, making her look particularly terrifying.
Under the gentle and smiling questioning of the old ancestor, Bai Xiaoyu's small face was so scared that it was stiff.
Wang Jingyi knew the child was afraid of her, so she didn't ask any more questions.
"Here, take this jade sword pendant. It's a magical item I used long ago. Well, it only has ten layers of restrictions, but it's still quite useful."
Bai Xiaoyu accepted the jade sword pendant, but Wang Jingyi didn't leave. Instead, she said.
"Give me the little turtle on your hand."
Bai Xiaoyu stretched out her hands, and there was the little stone turtle that was trembling in her hands.
It has spirituality, and when facing the terrifying old ancestor Wang Jingyi, it naturally fears it a lot.
"I only need to take two drops of its blood."
Wang Jingyi collected two drops of the little turtle's blood and nodded at Bai Xiaoyu before leaving.
"Little turtle, you don't have to be afraid. The old ancestor is still very nice."
Playing with the jade sword pendant in her hand, Bai Xiaoyu felt very happy.
In her eyes, it's not just an average magical item, but also the recognition of the elders in her husband's family towards her.
Little Stone Turtle: You are impressive, and you are aloof.
She took my blood, but she gave you a magical item. How dare you say she is a good person?
Wang Jingyi took the blood of Little Stone Turtle to find the Stone Ancestor.
The concern of the few people indeed happened, and in the small lake at the center of the island where Stone Ancestor used to stay, there was no sign of its presence anymore.
Wang Jingyi, who had taken Wu Jinyan there, struck out completely, not finding even a piece of turtle shell.
This powerful beast seems to have fled far away after Wang Xianzhou's extortion, and no one knows where it has gone.
Perhaps it is precisely this caution that allows it to gradually cultivate into a powerful beast.
Wang Jingyi used the blood of the little stone turtle to activate a method in an attempt to find the trace of the Stone Ancestor, but after using up the two drops of blood, there were still no clues.
Wang Jingyi sighed and shook her head helplessly.
The Huang Tian is not very large, with a square of about two thousand li in size, but even a square of two thousand li is indeed quite large. It's extremely difficult to find a powerful beast that deliberately hides itself within this vast area.
——
Late at night, in the quiet room, Wang Yulou was still practicing, but it was a process of retrieving the path.
Wang Jingyi personally protected him, and with the care of the old ancestor, Yulou's retracing vein process went very smoothly.
As the effect of the silkworm spirit pill gradually wore off, Yulou moved his eyes, took a deep breath, and let it out.
The black Wuxiang Tiandi manifested, and the old ancestor and Yulou could finally chat alone.
"Did you write a secret letter to Xianmeng? Did Xianmeng then send a secret letter to me, inviting me here, which means you are worried about something in your heart?"
This time, when Yulou is getting married, Wang Rongjiang was summoned by Senior Ancestor Xianzhou, and Wang Jingyi was invited by Yulou to come under the pretext of the wedding.
"Old Ancestor, the Drip Water Cave is very wrong. I have been practicing here for three years and have discovered several strange things!"
Yulou's first sentence caused Wang Jingyi's spirit to be greatly shocked. The Drip Water Cave is very wrong?
"What strange things?" she asked softly.
Looking at the smiling Supreme Deity before him, Yulou whispered slowly.
"According to my communication with several of my fellow practitioners, they have found that the three Zi Fu within the Drip Water Cave have never appeared in front of anyone.
Although the cultivation of the Zi Fu of the Red Light Reflection Supreme Deity is long and they will often close themselves up in the cave, they will still occasionally come out.
According to the information I have gathered, the Zi Fu Great Cultivation of Drip Water Cave has never left Drip Water Heaven, even for major events, only allowing their disciples and the foundation-level cultivators of the sect to handle them.”
Wang Jingyi thought for a moment and analyzed.
"Of the three true qigong masters in Drip Water Cave, one is on the verge of death and the other was originally a tribe of demons. It is understandable that they do not come out."
As for the third one, Wang Xianzhou, the information you received may not be complete. From different perspectives, the things you see naturally differ.”
To look far, one must stand high; if one stands low, one can't see far. Yulou understands the old ancestor's meaning.
However, the problems he found are not just one.
"The second problem, old ancestor, I suspect that the Red Light Reflection Supreme Deity has not satirized."
Supreme Deity hasn't satirized?
Wang Jingyi also looked at the smiling Supreme Deity and felt a little scared in his heart.
"Reason?"
"The Anning Huang Tian has been gradually collapsing since Anning Supreme Deity satirized in peace, but the Drip Water Huang Tian is now expanding."
The cave is expanding, and Wang Xianzhou discovered this clue from the changes in the water level of Xiu Shui Lake.
"The climate of the cave is stable, or rather, it is controlled."
The Xiu Shui Lake, as the largest body of water within the Huang Tian, exists around the land in the cave. Standing on the Drip Water Huang Tian, one can see that at the end of Xiu Shui Lake lies an endless grey.
In a climate stable situation, the water level of Xiu Shui Lake shouldn't decrease.
However, in the past three years, the water level of Xiu Shui Lake has dropped by half a zhi.
If that is not enough, Wang Xianzhou also has witnesses; several old instructors from the River Bay Fishing Port have said that the current Xiu Shui Lake is much smaller than what they saw when they were young.
Looking at Wang Xianzhou's serious face, Wang Jingyi doesn't know what to say.
"The Red Light Reflection Supreme Deity died for Wu Nan to resist the demon gods, and this point is recognized by the Ten Sects and Dao Alliance. It is also known by all the cultivators in the world."
Wang Xianzhou, are you overthinking this?"
Wang Jingyi thinks that whether the Supreme Deity is dead or alive does not affect Wang Yulou.
"If you're worried about practicing in the Drip Water Cave, wait until your traced vein is finished with the Wu Shi QI Modification, and then directly transfer to the Red Light Reflection. Continue to serve as an inner disciple there."
In fact, I can even recommend you directly to the real person Danri or my teacher. With your talent and endowment, even if they don't accept you, there are opportunities at other real people's places."
Wang Yulou shook his head and asked in return.
"Old Ancestor, can we leave the Ancestral School?"
"Grace given to you, you must return it. As long as the Wild Elephant does not go out of line, the Wang family must be loyal to the end."
Wang Jingyi's brow furrowed, and her eyes betrayed a profound hatred, followed by a statement.
"I and the family leader are inseparable, but you and Yu An have a chance, you are the future."
"So, I cannot easily go to the Red Light Reflection, old ancestor."
The cultivation path planned by Senior Ancestor Xianzhou for me is to practice until the completion of the Qi Yin Dharma, and then enter the Red Light Reflection, entering at a specific time to participate in the selection of Dao Alliance's walking combatant talent thirty-four years later.
Join the sect, participate in the selection, become a roaming cultivator of the Dao Alliance, and control the entire process within three months, preferably becoming a roaming cultivator of the Dao Alliance in one go.
Then, after joining the Dao Alliance, he immediately begins the process of establishing a foundation. After establishing a foundation, he will automatically be promoted to the position of a Dao Alliance official.
Wang Yulou spoke slowly, and every word was pronounced clearly. Wang Jingyi listened to it in her ear, but her heart was full of sorrow.
Yulou has come across a good era. With so many foundation establishment cultivators in the Wang family, the loss of one will not be a concern to the master or the two disciples of the master.
If at a different time, the Wang family had few foundation establishment cultivators, they would have to fully serve the ancestors. How could they allow Wang Yulou to run away?
"As an official of the Dao Alliance, you will be somewhat free."
Wang Yulou lit three sticks of incense and continued the flame for the Supreme Deity.
"34 years is still too urgent. You are only 26 years old this year, and you can wait for the one in 84 years. That one is more than nine-tenths guaranteed."
There is no major competition in the Red Light Reflection, and most of the Ten Sects have no major or minor competitions. The Dao Alliance Roving Combatant Talent Selection has become the only opportunity for all Qi Yin cultivators in the Red Light Reflection to participate.
But there is a prerequisite for this; you must be an inner disciple of the Red Light Reflection to be eligible to participate.
The Dao Alliance Roving Combatant Talent Selection is held every 50 years, the next one being in 34 years. At that time, although Wang Yulou is no longer young, he has not yet accumulated enough.
Perhaps the cultivation can go up, but can the combat strength also go up?
"How many things are always urgent."
"These years, from Qingxi Fang to Hewan Fishing Port, Wang Yulou has not been mistreated."
The elders in the clan protected me, and my fellow cultivators would also give me three-fold respect just by seeing my family name.
But I feel uncomfortable in my heart. I want to be able to stand on my own two feet as soon as possible and become someone who can protect the Wang family."
For 13 years of cultivation, Wang Yulou has never engaged in a duel with anyone, never made an enemy with anyone, and never participated in any exploration.
He had walked the road smoothly to today, but he felt a sense of unreality instead.
He fears that he cannot shoulder the responsibility and let down the trust of the clan.
He wants to become self-reliant as soon as possible, so he is very urgent and eager.
And if he can gain the qualification for becoming a roaming Dao Alliance member in the Dao Alliance Roving Combatant Talent Selection held in 34 years, Senior Ancestor Xianzhou might even see the day Wang Yulou becomes a roaming Dao Alliance member.
In this way, Wang Yulou would not have disappointed Senior Ancestor Xianzhou's guidance and protection.
Wang Jingyi did not speak. The most sharp sword of the Wang family moved forward a few steps and approached the Supreme Deity's statue.
Then, in Wang Yulou's astonished eyes, she knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to the Supreme Deity.
"Wang Yulou, bow to the Red Light Reflection Supreme Deity more. She has great favors to Wu Nan."
Wang Yulou pursed his lips, and he understood.
Under the protection of the formless celestial realm, Wang Jingyi's old ancestor finally answered his biggest question.
But he did not worship the Supreme Deity as respectfully as the old ancestor had.
Supreme Deity, Supreme Deity, just another great cultivator with a solemn name.
It's better to rely on oneself rather than on the Supreme Deity!
