"Silvery rabbit? Or a gift to you?"
Wang Rongyuan was also someone with sharp perception, and he immediately sensed that something was amiss.
Wang Yulu, who was staying in Wang Jingyi's mansion, was a disciple of Drip Cave and not very well-known in Red Lantern Temple. How could someone send him a silvery rabbit, especially two at once?
Offering devotion without cause is either treachery or theft; one should be cautious above all.
"Uncle Rongyuan, many years have passed since our last meeting. You have become a foundation-building cultivator, and I have also grown up. These years, I have made new friends that you may not be aware of. Today is a good opportunity to chat freely."
In Wang Rongyuan's heart, the image of Yulu remained from seventeen years ago, from the time when Wang Yulu first entered Qingxi Pavilion, in those eyes that were full of ignorance, anxiety, and anticipation towards the cultivation world.
However, Yulu is no longer the Wang Yulu of yesteryears.
Qingxi Pavilion operates the family's business and has been a prominent figure in the town market for many years under the sponsorship of Red Lantern Temple and Wang's platform.
Drip Cave manages the power and established two factions due to him. He even clashed with Yuan Daoshen, the first foundation builder of Drip Cave, although he lost.
But in the end, Yulu is now a descendant who can take on the family responsibilities, not just a child.
Noticing that Yulu has grown up, Wang Rongyuan feels a bit nostalgic in his heart, but mostly delighted. He smiled and walked into the mansion, saying.
"Right, let's have a thorough discussion. I also have several pots of Yuehua's moon dew jade wine."
Clapping on the shoulder of the newly foundation-building member of the Wang family, Grandmaster Xian made a playful remark.
"Rongyuan, if you had come a fortnight ago, you would have enjoyed the free moon dew jade wine, but alas, you missed it."
"One pot of Moon Dew Jade Wine for thirty spirit stones, free to drink? That must be someone being a generous fool, I suppose?"
"Ha ha ha, Uncle Rongyuan, you're right. Zhi Wu has recently joined the master's doorstep and is now the third disciple under the banners of Xuansu and Jianri."
At the ceremony of becoming a disciple, Red Lantern Temple played the part of a generous fool, offering all Qi practicing disciples a pot of eight-grade Moon Dew Jade Wine, while those at the foundation stage received one pot of seven-grade Liu Hua Jade Wine.
As for those true masters, they were given Six-grade Moonhua Immortal Dew, which they could drink freely."
Free access to Zifuchu sounds like a benefit, but for those Zifuchu, the actual longevity at stake is the real deal, not just a few gulps of spirit wine.
Every life is a life, and the lives of the Zifuchu are even more valuable, worth ten thousand in gold.
This is evidently the extent of Manxiang's influence, as Red Lantern Temple represents him. If it weren't for his invitation, there wouldn't be so many Zifuchu present.
"What? Zhi Wu is now under the guidance of the Ancestral Master?"
Just coming out of seclusion, Wang Rongyuan was not aware of many things, and this piece of news from Yulu knocked him dizzy.
"Rongyuan, call Zhi Wu the Immortal!"
Grandmaster Xian sternly reminded.
Wang Rongyuan immediately changed color. This place is the gate of Red Lantern Temple, and his previous address had indeed been overstepping.
Actually, this cannot be blamed on him. Zhou Wujiu and Mansiang are from the same lineage and have a grudge against each other. Any disciples of Mansiang's faction who are more core will be aware of this matter.
However, currently. It can be said that the high-level cultivator is indeed different. To meet and smile to erase grievances is insignificant for high-level cultivators. They can kneel on both legs for their disciples.
How could it not be astonishing?
"Come in, don't meddle with the true masters, Xueshan. You, what are you doing, sit down as well."
Wang Jingyi first nodded at Rongyuan for his slip of tongue, and then stopped Iron Huashan.
This Iron family descendant is her disciple, and the Iron family has already become closely integrated with the Wang family. If Tie Qinhuo declines, it might be that the Iron family will no longer be able to produce foundation builders in the future. By then, Tie Huashan will be the best grip for the Iron family to gradually merge into the Wang family.
Some things that must be cultivated must be cultivated. The Wang family is not one without three or four Zifuchu like Mansiang, and many things can be decided with a single word. Among those who are already our own people, we must cultivate them better.
After chatting about their recent situations, they then talked about the situation in Miaofeng Mountain.
"Rongyuan, now, your cultivation is quite troublesome. Originally, the family's plan was for you to enter Miaofeng Mountain and cultivate divine arts of the soil."
After all, the soil arts of our clan are not as complete as the wood arts, with only three divine arts inherited compared to seven in the wood arts.
Miaofeng Mountain has complete inheritances of both soil and wood arts, so going there would be quite fitting for you.
"What did Xianmou say to you before you came?" Wang Jingyi asked.
Wang Rongyuan's quick success in foundation building has left him with a lot of leisure, but his cultivation has become a problem.
Miaofeng Mountain and the Valley God Cult are still fighting.
Zhou Yinxin once told Yulu that the battle between the two sects had truly heated up, and it was possible that they would be officially allowed to fight on the Jade Pavilion of the Heavenly Deities. However, ten years have passed since then, and the scale of the battle remains restricted to Qi practitioners.
However, for the Wang family, the fact that the Valley God Cult and Miaofeng Mountain have been able to fight for so long is entirely due to the support from their respective backing sects, the Sky Serpent Cult and Red Lantern Temple.
At this sensitive point of the Master's attainment of the Golden Core, even a formal war between the two sects would not be ruled out, let alone a battle between the Sky Serpent Cult and Red Lantern Temple.
Therefore, it would not be appropriate to arrange Wang Rongyuan to enter Miaofeng Mountain to cultivate divine arts after foundation building.
"The clan leader's idea... Red Lantern Temple also has many soil arts, and even two immortals have once been highly skilled in soil arts," Wang Rongyuan replied.
Red Lantern Temple treasures fire arts, but Xianshuang true master mainly cultivates metal arts. Foundation building to supplement the five paths does not mean that one must supplement the five path's divine arts. It is far more beneficial to specialize in one path than to be diverse and not precise.
Time cost is the key factor, and the threshold for new law Zifuchu is too high.
Foundation-building cultivators who want to open Zifuchu with new arts must carefully calculate time and avoid wasting it, or they may miss the chance.
"The sect has a lot of soil arts, but only the true transmission of Red Lantern Temple can bring home the divine arts cultivated with conditions.
Arranging for you to become a true transmission of Red Lantern Temple is a complicated matter, and it is necessary to spend a significant amount of money.
Wang Jingyi's face doesn't look good.
The cultivation path designed by the elders of Wang family for Wang Yulu has been disrupted by Zhanri True Master's "blessing."
Wang Rongyuan's future path of cultivation has been disrupted by the conflict between the two sects.
If Wang Rongyuan enters Miaofeng Mountain, it would be very easy for him to bring the divine arts of Miaofeng Mountain back to the family.
Minor sects do not have the grade of true transmission. Drip Cave does not, and neither does Miaofeng Mountain.
The reason is not complicated. Minor sects only have a limited number of foundation-building cultivators, which form their basic stock. If they are exploited too harshly, the disciples will directly leave.
Red Lantern Temple is different. Among its nearly 700 internal disciples, there are nearly 700 foundation-building cultivators.
Similarly, there are three levels of foundation-building in Red Lantern Temple.
Within the inner door foundation-building, there is a half-level higher than the ordinary inner door foundation-building, known as the position of executive foundation-building, which is completely different from the ordinary inner door foundation-building.
Those without roots who want to become executives of Red Lantern Temple, such as Wang Xianmou's outer courtyard executive in the past, can only queue up after becoming experienced foundation-builders.
Those with roots, that is, those who have Zifuchu backing, can directly become executives after foundation building, and their income and status are completely different from those of ordinary inner door disciples.
The most special are the true transmission disciples. Both Jiang Baoxian and Mu Chunze, the two successive guardians of Qingxi Shop, were true transmission disciples of Red Lantern Temple, which is why they could go to the precious land of Qingxi Shop to gather spirit stones.
In Drip Cave, Wang Yulu had to gather factions and hold exchanges and discussion sessions for revenue, making a mere 10,000 spirit stones throughout the year.
In contrast, the cultivators who serve as the guardians of Qingxi Shop do nothing and simply collect 20,000 spirit stones each year.
They can also force donations through various activities from time to time - that was how Jiang Baoxian had done it in the past.
If one is shameless enough and willing to dilute water in the water, their income will explode even more - this is what Mu Chunze, the dog bandit, did.
There is only one way to become a true transmission disciple, and that is to become a disciple of the Red Lantern Temple's Zifuchu.
However, succeeding in becoming a disciple does not necessarily mean that one can obtain a good position like that of the guardian of Qingxi Shop. That position is extremely sought-after even within Red Lantern Temple.
Jiang Baoxian, as the legitimate descendant of the Zifuchu true master's family, was able to go.
Mu Chunze married into the family of Zhi Wu True Master and became his dog. Zhou Wujiu, in order to let Zhou Yinxin borrow the qin sound from Qingxi Stream for cultivation, transferred him over there.
Drip Cave's basic stock consists of foundation-building elders, so it will actively cultivate the foundation-building elders in terms of resource allocation and channel for advancement.
Red Lantern Temple's basic stock is high-level cultivators, so they will cultivate high-level cultivators. As true transmission disciples are the touch of high-level cultivators, it is easy to obtain the best resources in the sect.
"First, become an executive and cultivate the divine arts. Once the Master achieves Golden Core, our Mansiang faction's influence within Red Lantern Temple will greatly increase. At that time, I can arrange my position of true transmission more smoothly."
Wang Rongyuan is rather optimistic. After all, one has to move forward step by step; a slow pace is also acceptable.
"It's strange, how did Yulou's cultivation level suddenly become Qi layer ten. I know he got an opportunity early on to practice Qi earlier, but just a few years or seven years?"
Of course, if there's something you're not comfortable discussing, just ignore my question.
Uncle Rongyuan wanted to ask, but he noticed that when he mentioned Wang Yulou's cultivation level, both Wang Jingyi and Wang Yulou's expressions became somewhat peculiar, so he stopped asking halfway through.
"There's nothing wrong with talking about it. A few weeks ago, Danri True Master personally intervened and raised my cultivation level. By the way, Uncle Rongyuan, did you pass by Qingxi Shop on your way?"
Wang Yulu smiled briefly to explain, and then changed the topic.
"Qingxi Shop, haven't been there in years. It's to the north of Wang's Mountain, not on the way."
Uncle Rongyuan was somewhat confused. The way Wang Yulu changed the topic was very strange and even somewhat rough.
"Oh, Yulou is about to go to the West Sea. On the way out, he wants to visit Qingxi Shop."
You know, I have a fondness for Qingxi Shop, so I wanted to hear about the current situation from you first.
While chatting casually, Wang Yulou was also pouring wine for Wang Xianzhou.
With a rosy complexion, Wang Xianzhou, smiling happily, looked at the cup of wine and said in a sandy manner.
"Big sister, your dodge is fast. Take Yulou to visit Qingxi Shop, it will only take two days from here to and fro."
"He made quite a commotion in Qingxi Shop. To be honest, Yulou's starting point in cultivating immortality was actually from Qingxi Shop."
Under Wang Rongyuan's confusion, Wang Jingyi agreed to her younger brother's absurd suggestion and looked at Wang Rongyuan with a helpless sigh.
"There's no other choice. You just started foundation building, and you need to leave your trace in the sect's inner cultivation division. I have to go there myself, can't send Yulou."
His tone conveyed reluctance to cause inconvenience, affectionate doting for Yulou, and deep concern for Wang Rongyuan. His acting skills were several floors higher than that of Wang Yulou.
Wang Yulou beside him nodded repeatedly, as if recognizing the arrangement of the two elders. He seemed eager to visit Qingxi Shop before setting off for the West Sea.
Seeing that Wang Rongyuan still didn't understand, Wang Xianzhou, in a subtle way, used his chopsticks to tremble and accidentally bump into the small stone turtle that was gnawing on a rabbit bone.
Under the precise control of the elder ancestor Xianzhou, the small stone turtle was thrown off by the chopsticks and accurately knocked over Wang Yulou's wine cup.
The cup fell over, and the spirit wine spilled out, leaving everyone slightly stunned.
The tipsy Xianzhou ancestor had an awkward expression, as if he didn't want to take the blame, pointing at the small stone turtle and cursing.
"This turtle son, you, the one Yulou has raised, dare to knock over Yulou's wine cup on the table? You deserve to die!"
Smiling and shaking his head, Wang Rongyuan felt a bit melancholic in his heart. Uncle Xianzhou is getting old, his hands are...
Hmm?
Wang Rongyuan's body stiffened slightly.
"You are raised by __, and you dare to __, you truly deserve to die!"
He felt like he understood something.
"Yes, yes, I also need to leave a trace and be active for the position of executive.
Yulou, this time, let your Jingyi elder ancestor take you, Wang Rongyuan said with a smile, suppressing his unease.
The awe-inspiring power of high-level cultivators is like this.
The Wang clan has also been terrifying like this, with a thousand and two hundred years of inheritance.
The four clever minds of the Wang family have secretly agreed on everything, and the iron painting mountain by the table is still quietly eating its food.
He looked at the little stone turtle that was lying on its back, four feet prying, and still making "ha! ha!" sounds in agony with some curiosity, and felt a bit envied in his heart.
The Tieling family is skilled in cultivating spiritual cranes, but he still hasn't had even one crane. For the Tieling family, selling cranes is food, and they don't give them much to their disciples.
And Wang Yulou has both spiritual cranes and spirit beasts, as well as having his cultivation level raised directly by Danri True Master.
Compared to others, there is a huge difference.
He didn't understand. The Danri True Master raising his cultivation level wasn't an act of favor, but a purposeless forceful sale. Yulou even had tinnitus in fear.
——
Wu nan ten households of Red Lantern Temple, there are more than twenty-four cultivation masters in the inner court and gold cores, including auxiliaries, a total of nearly forty.
Its mountain gate is located in the plain, but the 17 spiritual mountains gathering together naturally bring an air of immortals to the human world.
For cultivators in Wu Nan, the ten sects have no distinction of rank.
Being able to enter is a fortune that can only be accumulated in several lifetimes or even several thousand lifetimes.
But, when Yulou left Red Lantern Temple and the Mansiang Mountain, he only felt that leaving Red Lantern Temple was a kind of blessing.
These days, within the Red Lantern Temple, his heart was filled with such heavy worries that it felt like he had seventeen mountains pressing down on him, and even at night, he couldn't sleep soundly.
Jingyi ancestor's sword dodge is different from ordinary light dodge, as she is a profound Jindao sword cultivator. When she performs sword dodge, it is like the flash of thunder in the world, and with a slight increase in driving force, it can reach two thousand miles.
Of course, she can maintain a speed of one thousand miles per hour for two hours, and a speed of two thousand miles per hour for only one moment. Therefore, when she was wrapping Yulou on the road, she only used the ordinary speed of one thousand miles per hour.
"Ancestor, why don't we go to Drip Cave first and see Old Yuan?"
In Jingyi ancestor's sword dodge, Yulou cannot speak, so he can only communicate through sound transmission.
"OK!"
Wang Jingyi was concise and to the point.
Going to Drip Cave is not to meet Old Yuan, but because it is an independent cavern outside the large world, and there one can say some unseemly things without risk.
In fact, as long as the Purple Palace does not seriously inspect, it cannot see through Wang Jingyi's formless heavens.
However, Wang Jingyi cannot use the Formless Heaven in Mansiang Mountain or when talking with Wang Yulou!
This is the reason why the two have delayed this for so long, finally using Wang Rongyuan's visit as an excuse to leave Mansiang Mountain and choose a location to have a private talk.
On the other hand, Yulou has reached the peak of Qi cultivation just over half a month after leaving Drip Cave.
Reaching the peak of Qi cultivation, it takes only half a month to go from Qi layer six to the peak.
It's about time to go back to Drip Cave and let Old Yuan be hopeless.
Old Yuan, thank you.
Thank you for spending so much effort, pushing me out of Drip Cave, and giving me this big opportunity.
The favor from Danri is the favor from the ancestral master.
And the favor from the master accumulates interest on interest.
These, Wang Jingyi and Wang Yulou all know, namely, Danri pulling up Yulou's cultivation level must be for some purpose.
But this doesn't mean that Wang Yulou cannot use this 'favor' to show off to Yandao Sheng. They are two different things.
The practice of the new method cannot be separated from the acquisition of resources, and the acquisition of resources cannot solely depend on oneself.
Cultivators under such a method must become members of an organization.
Mansiang is the leader of the Mansiang sect, but he is also a member of the Mansiang sect.
In any organization, many things and many things have ambiguous boundaries. The importance of the cultivator's individual posture is closely related to this boundary, and the complexity of it cannot be fully explained even with ten thousand words.
In summary, there are special cooperative relationships and ties between the Wang family and the Mansiang lineage. Even if Wang Yulou is really pushed into being a pawn by a real person, he cannot run away arbitrarily.
Moreover, it's not even mentioned whether he can escape or not. Wang Yulou does not allow himself to escape —— The Wang family does not owe him anything, but he owes the Wang family!
Thirty years, from Wang's Mountain to Qingxi Shop, from Qingxi Shop to Drip Cave, Yulou has enjoyed the convenience of the family to the fullest!
"Yulou, you have already reached the peak of Qi cultivation."
Although you still need to consolidate your cultivation, the previous arrangements for you have been completely scrapped.
In the future, do you still need to return to Drip Cave? Speak your thoughts."
Jingyi ancestor opened his mouth with a heavy heart, but Yulou did not answer.
The cold wind hits his eyes, and the improvement in cultivation can allow him to open his eyes even in such a strong wind.
Looking at the heavy sky over Wu Nan, Yulou's heart is filled with myriad calculations, but it can only be resolved into a sigh.
Individual and family efforts and expectations are all scrapped when top-level cultivators step in, all of them are scrapped.
All arrangements have been disrupted.
How can he easily make a decision about the future?
In many people's lives, many critical decisions and choices are made blindly, without knowledge or even called bold —— that is reckless.
As a cultivator who aims to journey on the path to immortality for a long time, Wang Yulou cannot be like that.
So, he actually doesn't know whether he will return to Drip Cave in the future, more accurately, whether he wants to return to Drip Cave.
Whether or not, it's different.
"Ancestor, Danri."
Wang Jingyi interrupted his words.
"The little stone turtle is very interesting, and its appearance with four feet upside down is even a bit cute."
Be more stable, a little more stable, and a little more stable. Being stable won't be wrong.
Yulou smiled and talked with Jingyi ancestor about the little stone turtle, White Small Fish, and Sister Lin and Qin Churan.
Gradually, he began to have a plan.
——
Wang Yulou's reputation and popularity in Drip Cave are actually quite high.
The Dao couple of the first beauty in Drip Cave, the lineage disciple of the legendary Mansiang sect, the jade son of a major family outside the cavern, the organizer of an exchange conference, a legendary practitioner who slays ten iron alligators in one night, and finally, an enemy in Yandao Sheng's eyes.
For the disciples of Drip Cave, the last point is actually the most tangible. The reason why Bishui Palace sent people to the Western Sea is because Elder Dao Shen wants to force Wang Yulou to leave.
In order to force Wang Yulou to leave, the position of the head of the sect was even given to the Zhuo family.
It can be said that the elder Dao Shen, using his old face, made himself a stepping stone for Yulou's reputation. This is indeed a heartfelt endeavor.
When Yulou appeared outside the Drip Cave, Yuan Qi nearly thought he had seen a ghost.
"Who are you, why are you pretending to be Wang Yulou?" He pointed at Yulou, uneasily asked.
He couldn't imagine how Wang Yulou had transformed from the sixth layer of Qi cultivation to the peak of Qi cultivation in less than a month after leaving the cavern.
Compared to Wang Yulou breaking through four layers in less than a month, Yuan Qi would rather believe he had encountered a ghost!
"Grandmaster, a strike from the Yuan family!"
Yulou, sitting in Wang Jingyi's spirit-powered vehicle, did not speak, but communicated to Yuan Qi by sound transmission.
Wang Yulou can be pulled by the grandmaster, like a little chick in the claws of an old hen flying in the sky, but Wang's Yuque and Yuque cultivator cannot.
Therefore, when they arrived outside Drip Cave, Jingyi ancestor changed the flying vehicle at Yulou's request and carried him along.
Wang Yulou has made his choice.
Drip Cave, he may not come back, and he may not necessarily come back, but the small power and small sect he has established cannot be dispersed!
"Beholden!" Hearing Yulou's words, Jingyi ancestor immediately invoked two golden palms.
One holds Yuan Qi, and the other is a left-right opening bow.
Although the pressure from Yandao Sheng on Yulou eventually turned into 'possible good things,' the interruption of Yulou's own cultivation path was a setback, and he was also sent to the Western Sea for hunting demons.
Therefore, Jingyi ancestor's anger towards Yandao Sheng is multi-faceted, and he naturally would not hesitate to strike Yuan Qi.
Building foundation is not allowed to strike Qi cultivation, but Xianmeng is the realm of top-level cultivators. Drip Cave is an affiliate of Honglingzhao.
If the Yuan family presses Yulou like that, even if Ancestor Wang Jingyi of the Wang family were to slap Yuan Qi seven hundred times, no one would say anything.
Jingyi ancestor's slap is decisive, and Yuan Qi receives it miserably.
For a moment, the sound of "slap! slap! slap!" resonated continuously at the entrance of Drip Cave, and people who didn't know thought someone was setting off fireworks.
The Qi cultivators guarding the entrance of Drip Cave, seeing the situation turn sour, hurriedly notified the foundation-building elder in charge.
Soon, the foundation-building elder of Drip Cave appeared.
"Stop!"
Yulou looked over and saw the elder who had several encounters with him, who had also supported the exchange conference in the hall of the sect master——a Zhushi follower.
"Grandmaster, calm down. If you insult our ancestor, I will give him twenty lashes!"
Hearing Yulou's communication, Jiezhanglao realized that Yulou's cultivation level was not what it seemed. He suppressed the surprise in his heart and instantly made a decision.
The Wang family is here to settle accounts!
"Yuan Qi, if you dare to insult Jingyi Daoist friend, do you know your crime? Alright, quickly take him back to the Execution Palace and give me twenty lashes!"
Send up a few dozens of slaps, then give twenty whips, this is Wang Yulou's small warning to the Yuan family.
With the support of the Mansiang lineage, how dare Yandao Sheng still cause trouble?
Wang Yulou and Wang Jingyi are so fierce because they understand that Yandao Sheng may have been deceived by Guangjiu Sheng.
The Zifubuzhiji of Drip Cave doesn't exist at all, and Guangjiu Sheng is most likely just playing with the dog while eating the cake.
Poor old Yuan was led around with drool everywhere, utterly confused!
"How can you treat people so cruelly? I want to see Elder Yandao Shen! I want to see Elder Yandao Shen!"
Yuan Qi had a pig-like face with swelling and bruises, calling out pitifully.
"Grandmaster, I will give you twenty lashes. I will give you twenty lashes until your buttocks are broken!" Yulou increased the stakes.
He realized that selling information is also a business. By first nearly killing Yuan Qi, he could show his confidence, and then Yandao Shen might be lured in.
"Ju Lou, this."
"Uncle, half a month ago, I left the cave to go to Honglingzhao. Er Zi Ancestral Uncle, the second disciple of Mansiang Ancestral Master and the ancestor of Da Ri Ancestral Uncle personally cast a spell to boost my cultivation level, so that I could break through four layers in an instant and reach the peak of Qi cultivation!"
The sequence of events, in terms of time order, is indeed in this sequence, but Wang Yulou has played a trick of journalism.
The news that Drip Cave has no Zifubuzhiji will definitely be sold to the old Yuan, and the old Yuan will not blame him for hitting Yuan Qi.
Now is the time to show his confidence. It's not okay to not treat Yuan Qi properly and not spread the news of his Qi cultivation reaching the tenth layer.
Jiezhanglu, a foundation-building elder, swallowed his saliva, glanced at Wang Jingyi, and then personally summoned spirit energy and slapped Yuan Qi's mouth.
"You dare defame Jingyi Daoist friend!"
"Pull him down and tell the head elder of the Execution Palace to give him forty lashes, or let him die if he doesn't survive!"
Jiezhanglu's hair and whiskers were flaring, and he shouted loudly.
They chatted for a few sentences, and then Yulou entered the Drip Cave realm.
When Yulou appeared on the Drip Cave square, it caused quite a commotion.
After all, the hard standoff with Yandao Shen had just happened. Considering the quiet cultivation environment of Drip Cave, Yulou's legend still belonged to the "Drip Cave Hot Topic Chart".
And with the cultivation of Qi at the tenth level, how could those who hadn't forgotten him not be startled?
"Grandmaster, wait a moment. I'll send some messenger spells first."
Yulou then sent out dozens of messenger spells in succession.
Drip Cave, Wang's Yuque has returned!
Yandao Shen, you old scoundrel, you forced me to go to the Western Sea to die back then. Now that my grandfather has returned!
Zhushi, you old sinner, you sat by and watched as the Yuan family made trouble for me. Now that my grandfather has returned!
This time, I, Wang Yulou, have broken through four levels in half a month and reached the peak of Qi cultivation at the age of thirty. I'll see who dares to mess with me again!
Whether there is a conspiracy in the gift of tomorrow, what kind of conspiracy, Yulou is not certain. However, this does not affect him in borrowing the reputation and blessings behind tomorrow, to gain some good fame.
He showed the splendid posture of Mansiang lineage, slapped Yuan Qi until he was in a state of disbelief. However, this was just the beginning of Wang Yulou's "arrival" in Drip Cave.
The favor from the grandmaster is compounding, so we should make some gains in Drip Cave first, making it easier to pay it back later.
After sending the messenger spells, Yulou didn't wait for their reply and directly followed Jingyi Ancestral Uncle back to the river bend villa.
The task of guarding the villa was taken over by Wang Yusheng, who hurried to greet as he saw Wang Jingyi and Yulou suddenly appear.
"Yusheng, I bow to the ancestor and big brother."
Yulou casually summoned a spirit energy and helped him up, smiling.
"Hahaha, go on, contact people. Quickly invite your three sisters-in-law over. Tonight, let's have hotpot together."
Wang Yusheng thought that Jingyi Ancestral Uncle was there to support Wang Yulou, so that Wang Yulou wouldn't have to go to the Western Sea. He was so happy that he couldn't help but shout for people to come over.
"Youan's younger brother, though born with five qi spots, the elder's cavern is very special and has a unique cultivation system, so he was brought here."
The two arrived at Yulou's place of cultivation, which was still in the same condition as when he left, as someone had been taking care of it every day.
No, should say, more orderly and cleaner than when he left.
Both Xiao Yu and Yusheng put their hearts into it.
After hearing Yulou's introduction, Wang Jingyi asked.
"How are you and Youan related?"
Thinking of Youan, Yulou's good mood of returning to his territory was slightly interrupted.
"We grew up together and went to Qingxi Lane together. When we were little, we shared half of a pear each."
"At that time, Ningyao Senior Sister gave us two inferior purple copper beads. He kept the five-layer one for himself and gave me the six-layer one."
Although he was a bit dumb, but... Hah, not dumb either. He was just young and his nature hadn't solidified yet at that time. Later on, he wasn't dumb anymore.”
With the half-kylin of the Wang family and his good brother, Youan, having not seen each other for many years, how could Yulou not feel melancholic?
"I wonder how he is doing at Fulong Observatory."
With the spiritual practice of Wuxiang Tian Di unveiled, Wang Jingyi finally found a sense of security.
"The development of the family requires different tasks to be taken on by some people, and there will always be regrets."
She first comforted Yulou with simple words, and then pressed down on his hand and communicated through telepathy.
'That day, we could all hear the beginning of your conversation with Master Danri.'
'From the few sentences before you started helping me improve my cultivation, we couldn't hear anything else.'
But she would certainly have said something when she helped you improve your cultivation, such as the reason.
"Moreover, Yulou, you are a clever child. You should have asked her then, right?"
Wuxiang Tian Di is black, more accurately, it is a dimness. Everything that is covered by Wuxiang Tian Di becomes dim.
But Yulou is not afraid. He finally dares to speak to Jingyi Ancestral Uncle about the account.
"That day... there is no debt between the Wang family's West Sea and my own cultivation."
Yulou spoke out the conversation he had with Danri on that day, word by word, without changing a single syllable.
He also elaborated on the emotions, thoughts, and intentions behind each sentence of the conversation, as well as Dazhi's possible intentions.
However, the more Wang Jingyi listened, the more her expression grew solemn.
She realized that something - Danri was lying!
"She could easily add a law decree to prevent you from going to the Western Sea in addition to compensating for it."
For someone like her, a high-level cultivator, it's just a matter of saying one sentence.
But she actually gave you an answer of sending you to such a dangerous place to temper your cultivation, which is nothing but garbage!
Was it because in their plan, you would still return to Drip Cave in the future? Or was the explanation that raising cultivation was to avoid owing Wang's family? The answer itself was also false.
There are big problems in this, if Wang Yulou's position is not the card for Mansiang Ancestral Master as true, like Drip Cave has no Zifubuzhiji and Wang Yulou doesn't need to use this position as true.
Then, why would Wang Yulou go to the Western Sea? He could just directly leave Drip Cave!
Danri's edict would render the provisions of the ancestor, who had Yandao Shen, to cancel out cultivation and expel him from the sect, useless!
And even if Danri Ancestor did not want to offend Gong Jiusheng, he wouldn't be afraid of a mere disciple like Wang Yulou, would he?
The elder now dominates Honglingzhao. Drip Cave is merely a subordinate. What's there to be afraid of, Danri?
Or perhaps, it might just be that Danri Ancestor is indifferent to Wang Yulou and didn't think too much about it, nor was he willing to speak out for Wang Yulou.
'The explanation that it's not owing to the Wang family is also false? What do you mean by that?' Yulou asked.
'Yulou, the situation may be even more dangerous than we thought.'
On that day, I personally went to Danri and asked, "Are you the pawn for the ancestor's position?"
She replied: "The trace is useful after foundation formation. The situation in Drip Cave is special. Even if there is no Zifubuzhiji, there's no way you can't join the game after foundation formation."
If Drip Cave doesn't have a Zifubuzhiji opportunity, that was her own words.
The important thing is, you haven't even reached the foundation stage. How do you have the qualification to be a pawn?
But she directly called you over during the banquet and helped you raise your cultivation in front of so many people.
Not to mention the attitude, you are now at the peak of Qi cultivation. Isn't it possible that in another twenty years at most, you will be able to reach the foundation stage?"
Yulou was silent for a moment.
The bad news is that it's possible that being a pawn for the position might be true.
Yulou had never been noticed by the ancestor. The standard for entering the game is to reach the foundation stage. How could Yulou, who had just started to practice Qi, have become a pawn?
Danri pointed out the practice of retrieving Qi through the Water Curtain to Yulou because this method could be helpful after foundation formation.
Why is this bad news? Because Drip Cave does not have a Zifubuzhiji opportunity!
And the second path that the Wang family arranged for Yulou, entering the Immortal Alliance through a fighting selection, may now be lost — this is related to the second bad news.
The second bad news is that Yulou's cultivation was raised, which means he may become a foundation-level cultivator in the near future, thus becoming valuable for becoming an ancestor or Danri's pawn.
That's why Wang Jingyi thought of the explanation 'helping Wang Yulou raise his cultivation is to avoid owing the Wang family' as false.
Yulou thought about himself acting like an ignoramus in front of Danri, and at that time, what were Danri and the ancestor who was silently sitting in the high place thinking?
Wang Jingyi and Xianhe Ancestor initially joined the Honglingzhao together. She was able to enter the Yancuan Fa and become a true disciple of Honglingzhao because of her extraordinary abilities.
Now, the problems pointed out by Jingyi Ancestral Uncle do indeed exist.
Danri Ancestor's words are not necessarily true, but some facts are true. And in Danri Ancestor's words and actions, there are two facts that have been revealed.
The first is that Wang Yulou's going to the Western Sea might correspond to Wang Yulou not being able to leave Drip Cave, as there is no Zifubuzhiji opportunity and thus he cannot leave Drip Cave.
The second is that after Wang Yulou's cultivation level has been raised, he has the qualification to become a pawn in the near future.
"Ancestor, things have come to this point, and it's as clear as day."
"The reason Danri Ancestor raised my cultivation level is definitely for a purpose, but we are still unable to see it now."
In fact, even if we can see it clearly, it wouldn't matter. Where could we resist the commands of Danri Ancestor and the ancestor?"
Danri is a disciple of Mangxiang, and his actions can generally be seen as an extension of Mangxiang's will, much like Yulou's wife can represent Yulou.
"Yulou, don't lose hope. At least we can be mentally prepared and make some arrangements for countermeasures." Wang Jingyi sincerely comforted Yulou with a serious expression.
"Let's not think about it anymore. The West Sea seems inevitable, and in the future, I might even have to go back to Drip Cave."
"But ancestor, what exactly is special about Drip Cave? Master and Danri both said that it's unique."
Yulou has practiced in the cave heaven for many years, so he of course knows about its uniqueness. Even an immortal deity may still be alive, watching every living soul in the cave heaven at all times.
"You went to the Lotus Immortal City before your marriage, which is located in the Lotus Cave Heaven. The Lotus Cave Heaven is also connected to the greater heavens and earth, yet the Lotus Immortal has not yet perished."
"Drip Cave Heaven is connected to the outside world, which may correspond to the fact that Drip Immortal has not yet perished. If you go to the Western Sea and then return to Drip Cave for cultivation, you may gain another fortune."
"That's also the reason I reminded you with the Law of Worshipping Immortal Resemblance before, that Drip Immortal might still be alive." Jingyi Ancestral Uncle explained.
The Lotus Immortal City is one of the central bases controlled by the Immortal Alliance over Wunan, under which are covered the Three Clans of Tian She, Honglingzhao, and Fu Long. There are two Immortals stationed there, namely Lianpeng and Qingrui. Among them, Qingrui is more active, while Lianpeng is less active, but she is indeed still alive.
Yulou thought for a moment and said his own guess.
"Ancestor, when I was in the Lotus Immortal City, I had a guess. It's not necessarily true, but it's very special, so I didn't dare to say anything."
"Don't worry, we are safe now. Go ahead and say it." Jingyi Ancestral Uncle was surprised that Yulou would have an unexpected gain from his trip to the Lotus Immortal City.
"Special guess. What is it?"
'Lianpeng Immortal and Qingrui Immortal might be one person. Qingrui, a flower of green color, and Lianpeng, the pistil of Lotus.
The two immortals' titles are very relevant, and they hold their positions together. How could Yulou not think about it more?
Jingyi Ancestral Uncle suddenly looked in the direction of the Lianpeng Cave, realizing that he was within the Drip Cave Heaven. He then turned back and said.
"I didn't think of this for so long. I've gone there so many times and have gained nothing. So, that's why the Cang and Hua families never marry each other."
Yulou shook his head. He wasn't emphasizing these things.
"Ancestor, if the Lotus Immortal serves as one person, yet enjoys twofold worship from the Immortal Alliance, then it suggests that Danri's words about no spots might be false! I mean, it might be false."
Looking at Yulou in disbelief, Wang Jingyi trembled her eyes and sent an inner voice.
"Continue!"
Inhaling deeply, Yulou began to analyze.
'The Immortal Alliance's top-tier Immortals and cultivators of high realm have established the rules within their domain. However, they themselves are not bound by these rules.'
Apart from the Immortal Alliance, there are many other forces in the heavens and earth, such as the demon gods of the Western Sea, the immortal countries west of the Western Sea, and the monks outside Wunan's absolute cliff to the north of Honglingzhao.
This is still close to us, and the eastern and southern parts of Wunan are under the rule of the Immortal Alliance. However, in the east and in the south, are there no other forces?
Ancestor, it's not that there are no spots left, but rather that the Mangxiang lineage doesn't want to see another new Zifubu.
For how many years has the Mangxiang lineage had three Zifubu, with such great power, yet have they been able to cultivate even one new Zifubu?
'No!'
There are far more than just the Immortal Alliance in the heavens and earth. Everyone eats from the heavens and squeezes the lower strata, and there is also competition for interests among them.
Therefore, the spots may be false. The spot system and the Heavenly Assembly may just be used to deceive those with Zifubu opportunities who are cultivating towards foundation-level cultivation.
They might be the direct descendants of high realm cultivators, but high realm cultivators don't necessarily need their subordinates to become allies — the Immortal Alliance has already played a comprehensive role in taking care of the interests of high realm cultivators. The distribution pattern within sects and small forces is also very stable.
If the spot restriction is false, then Danri has added another lie to his list.
This Danri and her master may be confident that the Wang family must submit to them, so they don't mind using rough means.
Danri, facing Yulou's plea, let him go to the Western Sea, giving a reason of refining cultivation that was nothing but bullsh*t.
The reason is absurd, but they can't refuse it. They can't say, "Ancestor, you gave an absurd reason that we Wang family see through, so we choose not to comply."
Wang Jingyi also faces a similar problem. She closed her eyes in pain and asked with some unwillingness.
'How can we explain the last words of Anling? They don't make sense.'
Anling's last words mentioned that becoming a Zifubu requires the consent of the Heavenly Assembly.
Correspondingly, the ancestor achieving Golden Dan should also need the consent of the Heavenly Assembly. This all corresponds to the spot restriction.
Maybe, the ancestor has given up the spots in exchange for the support of other powerful cultivators from the Heavenly Assembly.
Therefore, Danri's teacher uncle said there were no spots.
She realized that Yulou might have guessed correctly, but she still clung to a sliver of hope——maybe the ancestor and Danri's teacher uncle weren't as bad as that?
Yulou Wang shook his head firmly and said.
'Ancestor, in the past, Yulou proposed to the family leader the suggestion of Wang family leading the establishment of a sect.'
The family leader analyzed that just because there are people, it doesn't mean they will naturally obtain more resources.
The issue is not about spots, but about resources!
The ancestor's forces are limited, and resources are limited.
Our Wang family has been serving the Mangxiang lineage as oxen and horses for thousands of years.
But if our Wang family produces a Zifubu, we will be on an equal footing with them, and they cannot accept that.
This kind of refusal is not an emotional one. The ancestor is even willing to take Zhou Guniu as a disciple. From an emotional standpoint, there's no reason why our Wang family is not as reliable as Zhou Guniu.
This kind of refusal lies in the inability to accept it from a profit standpoint. With an additional Zifubu, both Master Mangxiang and the two immortals Xuanzhu and Danri would have less to consume!
Within the Immortal Alliance, the interests have already been divided, and having an additional Zifubu doesn't necessarily mean there will be an additional faction for cultivation.
From this, we can infer that the former sect leader of Miaofeng Mountain, Li Haiping, who became a Zifubu, may also have achieved an ancient method Zifubu.
Miaofeng Mountain and the Valley God Sect are fighting fiercely, so it's obvious that they don't look like they can give Li Haiping another Zifubu cultivation resource.
'Yulou, these are just your guesses, and they may not be right. Can't the Immortal Alliance always give some opportunities to those below?'
Wang Jingyi is unwilling to believe it. Yulou's analysis sounds plausible, but she still doesn't want to believe that high realm cultivators have absolutely no intention of letting their disciples become the same level of high realm cultivators.
'Ancestor, I can't see the whole picture. I can't see the big picture.'
But what I see is the Immortal Alliance encircling for cages.
Using rules and systems, they enclose us, the lower realm cultivators and lower-class families, to struggle for the benefit of the high realm cultivators.'
Yulou Wang thought of Qingxi Fang and Fuyuan Ju.
He thought of the cages he had prepared for the wandering cultivators, cage houses where a single spirit stone could accommodate many for several days.
That was when he had just started on the path of cultivation.
Now, he has climbed higher, although there are still many things he can't see clearly.
But he has seen through the appearance of the night.
Not only is the Drip Cave Heaven a kind of cage, under the gloomy sky of Wunan, the rule of the Immortal Alliance is also a cage.
Yulou Wang saw that, in fact, he was born to be in a cage, and there was no difference from the people in the Drip Cave.
Like a bird in a cage, a disciple of Danri, not to mention Danri, who is the disciple of the Mangxiang lineage.
So, it should be said that it's a bird in a cage, fed and observed by the Mangxiang.
So, where should I go?
Can I fly out?
Yulou Wang had no answer.
Just like Wang Jingyi can't give herself an answer.
"Yulou Wang, this heavens and earth have always been cages."
In the past when ancient methods were in vogue, the great cultivators who achieved through ancient methods regarded those below them as slaves.
Now, the high realm cultivators of the Immortal Alliance also treat us as slaves.
You shouldn't hate.
Hating is not helpful."
Wang Jingyi stopped sending messages. She had a feeling of dissatisfaction in her heart, so she didn't want to hide and send messages anymore.
But even though the Ancestral Uncle Jingyi can barely hold back, she is still comforting Yulou.
"Ancestor, Yulou dares not hate."
"In the past, Yulou may have had such a naive idea. But now, Yulou only thinks of escaping."
Walk down, until no one can see Yulou as a cost anymore.
That's all. Even if it means using any means necessary!"
