When Yulou held one beauty in each hand, pulling the surprised little fish and Chu Ran together into his arms, he realized a problem.
The warmth and fragrance of the jade in his arms, but the heart of Yulou was cold.
If Danri said that the Drip Water Cave has no chance of entering the Purple Mansion, then why was the Red Carp immortal urging him to cultivate?
Even to let himself cultivate well, not addicted to women, directly set up a law seal for him.
And, when Danri was elevating his cultivation, he didn't say anything at all due to the Red Carp's seal.
The Red Carp Immortal is the Purple Mansion, and Danri Immortal is also the Purple Mansion. When Danri was elevating Yulou's cultivation, how could he possibly not notice the seal on Yulou's body?
So, the answer is, go back to the Drip Water Cave and be a piece of chess?
Like standing in a dense mist, Wang Yulou couldn't see clearly, and couldn't see the direction of his own destiny.
Cultivation, cultivation, to seek great freedom, and endure the domestication of the cage, such process after, can truly seek freedom?
"Master, what are you thinking?" Qin Churán saw Wang Yulou staring blankly ahead, as if lost in thought, so she asked proactively.
The blank look retrieves focus, and Yulou also retrieves the backbone.
"Churán, the most terrifying thing in this world is the human heart. The hearts of ordinary people are already hard to fathom; how much more so for those of great cultivators?"
Qin Churán couldn't understand why Wang Yulou suddenly said this, and was surprised to look up.
Looking at Yulou's cold and chiseled profile, the female cultivator born in the Drip Water Cave finally understood that perhaps, she could never catch up with his steps in this life.
"No matter how the hearts of great cultivators are, Danri Immortal has already elevated your cultivation."
There is a proverb in the Bay of Hé: fish caught in nets are not fish, only fish put in the warehouse are truly your own.
Your cultivation is not fake, and as for the road ahead, Little Fish believes that Master will definitely do well."
Bai Xiaoyu has a pure mind, which makes her thoughts simple.
In her eyes, Yulou has at least eaten some meat and has gained.
The party that makes payment first is much better than the party that makes payment later or even delay payment.
"That's right, you... Sister Lin is here, hurry up."
Feeling that Lin Ying had come, Yulou, like a scoundrel, lifted the two beauties and adjusted his clothes, sitting upright.
However, after sitting down, he felt that sitting up straight was not appropriate; it seemed a bit pretentious, so he got up directly and went out to welcome her.
"Even a short separation is more satisfying than a new marriage." When Lin Ying saw Wang Yulou again, who had only been away for less than a month, she was already shedding tears profusely.
Leaning in Yulou's arms, Lin Ying expressed her dissatisfaction with a few words.
"You walked so easily, and when I told Grandmaster Meng Ya that I wanted to accompany you, he didn't allow it. The Western Sea is dangerous. Hmm? They have already arrived?"
This is the smell of the jade in his arms.
Since Qin Churán and Xiaoyu are staying in the River Bay Fishing Port, they would naturally know about Yulou's return before Lin Ying.
Sister Lin is the guardian of Xiangu Cave, and Wang Yunsong contacted someone to go to Xiangu Cave. Then she came from Xiangu Cave, which would naturally be slower.
So, the fact that Lin Ying arrived late does not mean she is not attentive to Yulou.
"Yes, Elder Jingyi is also here, let's all have hotpot tonight!" Wang Yulou gently wiped away his wife's tears.
Did Elder Jingyi come?
Of course, she knew about this senior genuine heir of the Wang family's Red Lantern, who was a highly respected foundational cultivator who could rival Yuan Dao Shen and Zhuo Yin Sheng. Even among foundational cultivators, she was of extraordinary prowess.
"Isn't the Elder here to support you? You don't have to go to the Western Sea anymore?"
Lin Ying's eyes were full of expectation, but Yulou could only shake his head helplessly.
The intentions of the immortals, he may not understand, but at least he knows that he cannot resist.
"Look at me again."
Wang Yulou's words were out of the blue, which left Lin Ying perplexed. Suddenly, she stopped crying and burst into laughter, teasing.
"You're only two Chi away from me, can you still be more carefree? Moreover, in my heart, Yulou, you are already the most carefree person. This might be what they say about lovers seeing ten layers of loveliness?!"
Yingxi Daojie's eyes are beautiful peach blossom eyes, while Sister Lin has single eyelids, close to a phoenix eye.
However, at this moment, the beautiful phoenix eye from before had turned into a cow's eye.
It's even the eyes of a thousand-jin old bull.
"Ha ha ha, in the eyes of lovers, there are ten levels of refining qigong. This matter is too long to explain."
When Wang Yulou saw the flowers of his own Drip Water Cave, his mood naturally improved. He didn't even think about the things that made him uneasy. Instead, he joked around.
"Then make it short and sweet!"
This time, it's Sister Lin who is in a hurry.
"Danri Immortal may have made some arrangements for me, so he raised my cultivation level and sent me to the Western Sea for refinement."
The matter of going to the Western Sea is something that cannot be easily avoided, even if Yuan Dao Shen or the Drip Water Cave were to recall their orders.
"I am a member of the Wang family, and then a disciple of Drip Water Cave. My Wang family is under the tutelage of the Elder, so Danri Immortal's orders cannot be disobeyed."
Yulou's expression was relaxed and carefree, facing Lin Ying, he simply said 'Danri has some arrangements'.
"Our Wang family..." Sister Lin Ying clarified her stance first, then said with a joyful expression.
"First it was the Red Carp Immortal, and then it was Danri Immortal. Yulou, are you now officially recognized as a Purple Mansion Seed?"
"Moreover, where is Elder Jingyi? If I meet her, would it be appropriate to present her with some spiritual mushrooms?"
Lin Ying's past worldliness has now turned into innocence, of course, this is also related to Yulou.
He just accidentally revealed some of his true thoughts to Bai Xiaoyu and Qin Churán, which brought a lot of pressure to the two of them, so he only reported good news to Lin Ying without reporting bad news.
"It's rare for you to think of this, but Elder Jingyi doesn't need your small gift. Let's go, I'll take you to see her."
However, Elder Yuan arrived much faster than Wang Yulou had expected. As he and Lin Ying were intimate in the courtyard, Elder Yuan's purple escape aura had already appeared on the horizon.
Yuan Dao Shen is the first foundational cultivator of Drip Water Cave. His achievements in refining qigong are more than Wang Jingyi, all of which can be controlled at will. When he fully activates his power, his escape aura can even dye the sky purple.
This old scoundrel has attacked Wang Yulou several times, each time more ruthless, with no reservations in his methods. In the end, he went all-in, forcing Yulou out of Drip Water Cave.
However, he didn't expect that Wang Yulou had only left for less than a month and returned.
And the first thing he did after returning was to team up with Jie from the Ji Long School and nearly killed Yuan Qiqi half to death.
After forty lashes, Yuan Qiqi's buttocks were already unrecognizable.
Yes, it was his buttocks.
The actual target was Elder Yuan's face!
Of course, it was not said that Elder Yuan's face and buttocks were the same. The phrase "the mouth of Yuan Dao Shen" primarily refers to the fact that Wang Yulou's action was a way to indirectly hit Elder Yuan Dao Shen where it hurts, using Yuan Qiqi as a proxy.
Low key when necessary, high key when appropriate, always playing the turtle, that's not stability, it's just a real turtle!
"Yulou, Elder Yuan Dao Shen is here!"
Lin Ying noticed the purple glow in the sky and exclaimed.
However, even faster than the two of them to realize that Elder Yuan was coming with an ominous force was Elder Jingyi.
The grey formless sword had already been raised while the two were flirting, and Wang Jingyi's sword arrived before Elder Yuan Dao Shen. She herself, riding on the formless heaven and earth, rose up in mid-air along with the formless sword to strike directly.
Elder Yuan Dao Shen seemed not to have noticed Wang Jingyi's ambush, and he resisted Wang Jingyi's attack quite embarrassingly.
"Elder! Be careful!"
Yulou shouted a warning, his sweat glistening with fear.
Elder Yuan is acting like a dog, trying to learn Wang Xianzhou's trick of "setting traps"!
Elder Yuan is like a dog trying to set a trap for Wang Yulou. Wang Jingyi is angry and attacks, and even if it escalates to each receiving 50 lashes, it's not a big deal.
Even if Elder Yuan's procedures for forcing Wang Yulou away were okay, the rules are just a reference. Both Wang Jingyi and Yuan Dao Shen have their backgrounds, and they won't cause a big scandal.
If Elder Yuan succeeds in setting a trap, then...
"Slut, still so despicable at three hundred years old!"
Wang Jingyi didn't need Wang Yulou's reminder; she had long seen through Yuan Dao Shen's intentions.
However,
But precisely because she saw through Yuan Dao Shen's intentions, Wang Jingyi actually accumulated her sword qi.
Without any enhancement, Elder Jingyi's formless sword is still one of the most formidable attack methods in the foundational cultivation period. Under her continuous accumulation of power, it even exudes a deadly ferocity.
Wang Jingyi's thoughts are not complicated.
Do you want to set a trap?
Alright, this is just the chance to kill you, the scoundrel who forced Yulou into such a dangerous situation!
Wang Jingyi is dressed in a black Buddhist robe, without any armor, but her skin is covered with gold, transforming her entire body into a breathtaking gold figure that doesn't fit the earthly world - an Embodiment of Golden Form.
The power of her formless sword, combined with the Godly Power of Formlessness and Heaven, already had considerable might. After manifesting the Embodiment of Golden Form, its power increased even further.
Moreover, the Embodiment of Golden Form, in addition to enhancing the compatibility with the formless sword, which is an artifact made of gold materials, also possesses a certain ability to immune from harm. This temporary immunity to damage will not disappear as long as the enemy cannot shatter Wang Jingyi's Taoist body.
The Embodiment of Golden Form and the Formlessness of Heaven are both employed, combined with the Little Formless Sword that has been used for years and has an unparalleled fit.
Wang Jingyi's attack was decisive and ferocious, even a top-level foundational cultivator would have to exert all their strength to counter it safely.
Seeing Wang Jingyi's posture, Elder Yuan's three souls and seven spirits were shocked to be scattered half of them.
He never expected that while he was thinking about setting a trap, Wang Jingyi was thinking about running him over directly!
And he didn't really defend himself when he was thinking about setting a trap, which was incredibly foolish. He even gave up his few advantages in initiative – giving up the initiative to set a trap, but choosing to go for a direct collision instead!
This is the case of Elder Yuan, the clown, just lying on the ground. The semi-truck driver from the other side then floors the gas pedal!
F***! Wang Jingyi, this is not fair in combat!
What about the rules of the Heavenly Alliance?
This is Drip Water Cave!
How dare you, Wang Jingyi?
When Wang Yulou returned to Drip Water Cave, he tortured Yuan Qiqi to death. When Wang Jingyi saw him, she immediately killed him. It can be said that Wang's former steadiness has finally become a sharp sword that had been nurtured for a long time and was finally drawn.
Elder Jingyi's golden eyes were filled with frost, and the seemingly ordinary formless sword approached Elder Yuan. Yuan Dao Shen knew how terrifying this seemingly insignificant strike was.
In the past, Wang Xianzhou held the formless sword talisman and could slice a great demon, Iron Tortoise Dragon, in two with a single strike. This shows how powerful Elder Jingyi's formless sword attack is.
When Wang Jingyi personally unleashes her attack, it's not necessary to say much. It appears to be subtle, but it's only because Wang Jingyi controls it so perfectly that she doesn't waste much of her energy.
The formless sword is already cutting in front of Elder Yuan, but he just gave up the initiative to set a trap.
In a fight, the importance of the initiative cannot be overstated. The initiative affects both the offensive and defensive moves.
There is no absolute power difference between Wang Jingyi and Yuan Dao Shen. With Wang Jingyi's such an attack, Yuan Dao Shen, who lost the initiative, has already stepped into the mortal world!
Between life and death, this idiot who gave up the initiative so easily can only use a special godly technique to save his life - moving blood to give life.
Developing water divination techniques further, countless secret teachings and godly techniques have supported a path for cultivators of the water school. Among them, there is a small branch known as the bloodwater method.
The essence of the Bloodwater Method lies in fully developing the spiritual energy in a cultivator's own blood, using their own blood as the foundation for performing related techniques, secrets, and godly powers.
Bloodwater Move Life, one of the famous godly techniques under the Bloodwater Method, works simply by sacrificing a portion of one's blood or even body in situations where death is imminent, thus transferring life and escaping danger.
The purple blood mist exploded in the air.
Yulou's eyes were full of disbelief as Elder Jingyi honored a single strike, turning Elder Yuan into a blood mist!
When he started to feel afterfear and worry, Elder Yuan reappeared in the air again. He was stuffing pills into his mouth to quickly replenish the energy consumed by his godly technique, while simultaneously using techniques like "walking among clouds and moving through mist" to escape towards a distance.
The first foundational cultivator of Drip Water Cave had completely lost his dignity from days past and was raging with profanity.
"Wang Jingyi, I'll report to the Heavenly Alliance, I'll report to the Gathering Platform of Immortals, I'll report to the Red Light Sect. You're a madman! You're a crazy woman!"
"You can report anything you want, Elder Yuan. You think I don't want to report you?"
When did Drip Water Cave become your own? Suppression of disciples, suppression of our Wang Yulou, who do you think you are?"
Elder Jingyi stopped the Embodiment of Golden Form and retorted with disdain.
The Embodiment of Golden Form is very powerful, but it also has side effects. Wang Jingyi had just activated it for a short time, and she will need at least 30,000 pieces of spirit stones to balance her Dao Base in the future.
This is where the advantages of a godly technique like Infinite Spiritual Chi show. Wang Xianmao and Yuan Dao Shen cultivate Infinite Spiritual Chi because it is useful, has minimal side effects, and strong auxiliary effects. Used properly, it is not inferior to godly techniques like Embodiment of Form.
As for whether she herself will be punished by the Heavenly Alliance, the Palace of the Ninth Heaven, or the Red Light Sect, Wang Jingyi doesn't worry at all.
Rules are for the dead, and people are alive.
Even Zhou Fubai has become a disciple of Mu Xiang, and she's not afraid of anything.
"I am a senior elder of Drip Water Cave! You are the outsider here!"
After pulling away from the crazy woman by at least two li, Yuan Dao Shen finally stopped walking.
"Whether an outsider or not, it doesn't matter."
I have something to say. Let's talk it out, Elder Yuan.
The last sword was a reply from my Wang family to you, so now we're even. There should be room for us to talk."
Wang Jingyi calmly replied.
Yuan Dao Shen was somewhat puzzled. He didn't expect Wang Jingyi to say "level the score," but when he confirmed Wang Yulou's cultivation level with his spiritual awareness, he no longer hesitated.
He approached the pavilion carefully and reminded Elder Jingyi.
"Stop going mad, Wang Jingyi. Don't think you can't be hurt by me. If I exert my full power, you will die for sure!"
Elder Jingyi gave Yuan Dao Shen a scornful glance and said.
"Old Yuan, everyone in Drip Water Cave knows you've gone mad. Now you're saying I'm the one who's crazy."
"In my opinion, we cannot ignore the disease and seek treatment. If it needs to be seen, it should be seen."
"You!" Yuan Dao Shen was immediately enraged.
What do you mean that everyone in Drip Water Cave knows I've gone mad?
Isn't that defamation?
"Quickly come down and regulate your breath. You can't afford to hit me in my place, it's laughable!"
Bloodwater Move Life consumes half of one's cultivation every time it's used. If it's promptly replenished, most of the lost cultivation can be recovered.
"It's better to quickly recover than argue with me. I do have important matters to discuss with you." Wang Jingyi really doesn't want to deal with a madman.
It's difficult to say whether Yuan Dao Shen has a disease, but his obsession is certainly deep enough to have led him into this current state of mind being mesmerized by the Mystical School of Zi Fu.
Information is invaluable, and the fact that Drip Water Cave lacks information about the Zifu opportunity suggests a significant probability that it is true. This is based on that day when Dan Ri supplemented his explanation with "the situation in Drip Water Cave is special."
If we can trade for this information with Yuan Dao Shen, Yulou's future development in Drip Water Cave can also be smoother. At the same time, maybe we can even earn some apology from Yuan Dao Shen in the form of spiritual stones.
Yuan Dao Shen took a seat in the pavilion, first taking a long time to carefully inspect Wang Yulou, then helplessly sighing and finding a spot to sit and meditate.
He went to great lengths to leverage the situation, using all his strength to pressure Wang Yulou and forcing him out of Drip Water Cave.
Less than twenty days later, Wang Yulou returned with a cultivation level of Gassing the tenth layer.
In twenty days, he broke through four levels.
For Yuan Dao Shen, just standing there without saying a word or doing anything, the harm caused by a Gassing the tenth layer Wang Yulou is even harsher and more severe than Wang Jingyi's Formless Sword.
Wang Jingyi's Formless Sword can cause him some injuries at most, and the lost cultivation can be replenished if it's quickly restored.
But the psychological harm caused by Wang Yulou to Yuan Dao Shen is intangible. There's no such thing as a psychological disorder in the cultivation world, and if a cultivator is said to have a psychological disorder, a phrase like "concerns about one's Dao heart, unlikely to achieve great things" would suffice.
——
Half an hour later, Elder Yuan left in a daze, giving Wang Shihai compensation of 20,000 pieces of spirit stones.
Wang Jingyi had wanted to ask for more, but since Yuan Dao Shen couldn't afford it, she let it go.
Seeing Wang Jingyi and Yuan Dao Shen finish their conversation, from the study, Lin Si sister's eyes moved and she immediately had an idea.
"Elder Jingyi, why is Elder Yuan Dao Shen acting this way?" Lin Ying asked curiously.
She asked in such a manner that it seemed somewhat out of line, but that was exactly what she wanted—to be seen by Bai Xiaoyu and Qin Churan.
Wang Yulou has three concubines, and there is still a long way to go before he engages in battles of the Dueling Hall. Little Qin knows that the path he chose for himself, and he is very obedient and doesn't try to argue or take away what belongs to others.
And Lin Ying always looks down on Bai Xiaoyu, so she had this outlandish move.
Such behavior is not uncommon for Lin Si sister and Xiaoyu, and it has been done openly and covertly. Wang Yulou is already enjoying the benefits of a polygamous relationship, and both girls are smitten with him. All he can do is feign ignorance and try to keep things balanced as best as he can.
"Ask Wang Yulou, he knows."
Come, let me see this robe of yours. This is Wang Yulou, right?" Wang Jingyi smiled and spoke up.
Wu Nan Meng Hua, a top-tier superior robe, priced at 9,000 spirit stones. Even Wang Jingyi wouldn't wear something so expensive.
Upon hearing Elder Jingyi's words, Lin Ying's heart sank immediately, while Bai Xiaoyu's eyes crinkled in amusement.
Enjoy acting?
Wang Yulou glared at the smiling Bai Xiaoyu and went forward to explain for his senior sister.
"Elder Jingyi, this robe was given to the senior sister by me. At first, she absolutely refused to take it, but I persistently urged her and she only accepted it reluctantly."
"Hmm, nice. It's indeed becoming of Ying wearing this robe."
Wang Jingyi nodded nonchalantly, acknowledging her with a nod, but the expression on her face had nothing to do with amiability, leaving Lin Ying feeling uneasy and uncertain.
Wang Yulou has no parents, so such things are of a greater concern to Lin Ying. She feels more compassion and love for him.
But from a more realistic perspective, putting aside the moral considerations, it has a certain other meaning for Lin Ying, this Wang Yulou's concubine.
However, Wang Yulou's elders are all very formidable. It need not be said that Xian Zhou Elder is beyond compare, as Lin Ying is well aware of the deep and unfathomable nature of Xian Zhou Elder.
And Wang Jingyi is even deeper—a deep as the first foundation cultivator of Drip Water Cave, who was slain by her Formless Sword.
Lin Ying, who witnessed that scene, was as timid as a quail in front of Elder Jingyi.
Therefore, in the face of the elder's rebuke, she dared not voice any objections and even had a bit of a laid-back attitude, as if she were willing to be manipulated.
"Yulou, go call YushENG over. Let's have hotpot."
Wang Yulou went to call someone, while Wang Jingyi pulled Lin Ying over and said.
"I've met Xiaoyu and Churan before, but I'm not familiar with you, Ying. Sit next to me later."
"Ah?"
"Me?"
Sit next to you?
Lin Ying's heart was already in chaos, yearning for a million reasons to refuse, but she smiled obediently on her face.
"Alright, Elder Jingyi. Today I brought about ten dozen of the eighth-grade Spirit Mushrooms."
It was prepared specially after I heard you were coming.
This Spirit Mushroom cannot be cooked with ordinary methods. Only using a high-quality Spiritual Spring to steam it will produce the best flavor.
I also brought the Spiritual Spring. You must try it later. This is the little I can offer you, Elder Jingyi."
After working hard in the Mushroom Cave for so many years, having saved up a dozen or so eighth-grade spirit mushrooms, Lin Ying decided to offer them all to Wang Jingyi tonight, hoping to gain some favorability.
Wang Jingyi's level of beating is so high that she can easily control Lin Ying, who is dazed and confused by her beating.
'You can't just have me taste it. Both of your sisters-in-law have followed Yulou, who in turn has followed you. Ying, you're much more stable than them. You need to know how to help Yulou stabilize the household.'
"You all sit first. Yusheng is the younger brother of Yuren. Wang Yulou and Yuren have a good relationship, but unfortunately, Yuren is practicing in the Fulong Temple, so you haven't met him yet."
Wang Jingyi greeted the other two and communicated with dissatisfaction in a telepathic manner.
"Yes, yes, yes, Elder Jingyi, your teachings are right, Lin Ying understands."
Poor Lin Si sister is about to be knocked unconscious by Elder Jingyi. She only hopes that her lover will come back soon.
Soon, Wang Yulou brought Yusheng back to the pavilion. He just walked in and naturally understood that Elder Jingyi wanted to get rid of him and chastise his senior sister.
It's not considered out of line for the senior sister to ask impertinent questions to show her status in Wang Yulou's heart and in the Wang family. However, Elder Jingyi has a serious personality.
Lin Si sister, a good girl who has gone through life and death with Wang Yulou, is also a foolish girl.
Elder Jingyi
It's a mess for Wang Yulou to take either side, so it might as well be a good idea to dodge it. If he does, neither Lin Si sister nor Elder Jingyi would blame him.
The hotpot after the small separation was eaten joyfully by everyone, but when half was eaten, Zhang Xuewu, who had received news of Wang Yulou's return to the cave, also came to pay respects.
Old Zhang recently received a precious pill as a reward from Elder Xian Zhou, and he has now successfully advanced to the seventh layer. At his age, he even has a considerable chance of reaching the foundation cultivation stage.
Wang Yulou brought him over to eat with him, but when it came to his wedding with Wu female, Old Zhang was a bit hesitant.
"The master's meaning is"
"Speak!"
Wang Jingyi's words frightened Zhang Xuewu so much that he shook all over.
"I am a disciple of Bishui Palace now. Whether he wants to marry me or not, it doesn't make much difference. I cannot say anything more."
Put down the chopsticks, Wang Jingyi coldly laughed.
"After Yuan Dao Shen forced you to leave, Wu Jingyan directly changed the wedding date. Fine, fine. If he doesn't respect the Wang family, then he's not good enough for her."
Wang Yulou felt a mix of amusement and helplessness, as the world really has some strange things.
He himself hasn't experienced anything like a petty spat and breakup, but his subordinates have.
Old Wu, old Wu. Does anyone named Wu have some problems?
First, there was Wu Faxian, who embarrassed himself in the Hall of the Leader, forcing Wang Yulou to fight at the forefront alone.
Then there was Wu Jingyan, who saw Wang Yulou being pushed to the side, and in a fit of anger, ruined his wedding agreement with Zhang Xuewu.
He is talking about the separation of his marriage to Zhang Xuewu, right?
No, it's not that he was separating from Zhang Xuewu; he was not looking favorably upon Wang Yulou.
Wang Jingyi is also angry about this. In Elder Jingyi's eyes, Wang Yulou is a Unicorn Prince.
Zhang Xuewu, as Wang Yulou's lackey, can be considered a half-apprentice. It's already a blessing for Old Wu to have his daughter married to Zhang Xuewu.
"Elder Jingyi, it's no problem. We can just find a woman from Zhu Family."
Xuewu, this arrangement won't make you feel too wronged, will it?”
When Yuan Dao Shen forced Yulou out, Chu Yinsheng watched from the sidelines for his own interests. Now, it's time to pay back that debt.
However, Wang Yulou will still have to continue working with the Zhu faction, so he can't ask for too much.
Zhang Xuewu is his own person in the Drip Water Cave, and there's still a possibility of reaching the foundation cultivation stage in the future. Borrowing Zhang Xuewu to strengthen his relationship with the Zhu family is also beneficial.
"Not at all, not at all, Brother Yulou. Zhang Xuewu has been a disciple in the Huachi Palace for over twenty years, living in a daze and confusion."
That's right. It's only since you've come that Zhang Xuewu has started to live a clearer life. To Zhang Xuewu, you are the most important person in his cultivation journey.
Anyway, no matter what arrangement you make for Zhang Xuewu, even if it's just finding a pig goddess for him, Zhang Xuewu would be content with that!"
The favor from Brother Yique is something I am willing to repay with marriage to a pig goddess.
Wang Jingyi was the one who was the most satisfied with this exchange, while Zhang Xuewu was just mediocre at acting, and Wang Yulou found it quite awkward.
She recalled the incident a few days ago when Wang Yulou almost mistook Dàrì for his mother.
Now, seeing Zhang Xuewu willing to be matched with a pig goddess to repay Wang Yulou's favor, it was really hard for her to keep a straight face.
What kind of a big brother he is, and what kind of a lackey he has, Wang Yulou can take Zhang Xuewu as his disciple, there must be a reason for it.
"Don't embarrass me. Get up! I'll arrange a pig goddess for you tomorrow!"
Wang Yulou knew what Elder Jingyi was laughing about and, blushing, picked Zhang Xuewu up by the collar.
"Ah?" Old Zhang was stunned.
Wang Yulou spoke with a fierce tone.
"You imbecile, since you know that a pig goddess is no good, why did you say such nonsense?"
Wang Jingyi and the three women couldn't help but laugh heartily. In the end, it was Elder Jingyi who spoke up.
"Hahaha, Yulou, let it go, let it go. Don't tease him anymore. Little Zhang is just a bit tongue-tied, but he's still reliable."
No intelligent person would ever underrate a cultivator who knows what they want.
Neither did Wang Jingyi look down on Wang Yulou, nor did she underestimate Zhang Xuewu. In fact, she even had a bit of admiration for them.
The favor from Brother Yique is something I am willing to repay with marriage to a pig goddess.
Faith is beyond words...
As for the Zhu family, facing Wang Yulou's cultivation of ten levels, they would naturally not refuse his marriage proposal. He even wanted to add a peerless lotus for Wang Yulou, but it was rejected by Wang Yulou.
He wanted to wait a few years until he reached the foundation stage of cultivation before negotiating prices.
The dowry that the Lin family is offering is the dowry that Wang Yulou had during his middle-stage of practicing spiritual energy. Once Wang Yulou reaches the foundation stage of cultivation, he will marry his cultivation partner and receive even more dowry.
The good times may not be short-lived, but apart from enjoying the beauty with the people around him, as Wang Yulou, the Unicorn Prince of the Wang family gradually grew up, he also needed to take on his corresponding responsibilities.
Meeting Dàn Rì's requirements is also a part of this responsibility.
Although the Realm Master did not explicitly say it, the meaning was clear. The Wang family cannot play dumb.
The Realm Master has always been heart-to-heart with the Wang family, so how dare they play tricks on the Realm Master?
Therefore, after only returning to the Drip Water Cave for about seven or eight days, Yulou set off on his journey to the Western Sea.
Drip Water Cave gave him three months, and he had to be there within three months.
However, Wang Yulou must go as soon as possible because the official appointment of Zhou Fujie, the senior deity in charge of the Western Sea for the Xiaoheng Alliance, is scheduled for these days.
If he goes late, there's a possibility that Zhou Fujie has already arranged for enough people, making it difficult for Wang Yulou to secure the desired position.
The key to this is that Elder Jingyi himself pointed it out to him as he personally escorted him to the Western Sea.
The complexities and choices that cultivators face throughout their lives are countless, virtually endless.
Among them, only a few are truly important, and they often don't have any obvious signs or markings that would indicate that they are exceptional, crucial, or significant.
Therefore, it is up to the cultivator to discern what is important. For now, we are helping you make this distinction. In the future, it will be your responsibility to do so on your own."
Wang Yulou slowly nodded and then asked about another person.
"Therefore, Yuan Dao Shen was controlled by his fixation at the decision-making stage, and got trapped in the game of Jiu Sheng?"
Elder Jingyi, who controlled the car spirit, shook his head and gave an uncertain response.
"The special nature of the Drip Water Cave hasn't been explicitly stated by Teacher Uncle, and I'm not clear on why Jiu Sheng the True Immortal would tolerate Yuan Dao Shen."
From the perspective of Teacher Uncle, she considered Jiu Sheng the True Immortal as the so-called 'old scoundrel' who wanted to 'play with' Yuan Dao Shen.
In my view, it's just that the Drip Water Cave is too small, and Jiu Sheng the True Immortal has limited options. The Yuan family is hard to part with, so only after Yuan Dao Shen's out-of-the-ordinary behavior did they seize the opportunity to consolidate power.
However, if one says that fixation influenced him, Yuan Dao Shen was indeed heavily influenced by it, purple palace, purple palace.
Wang Yulou, now that the security of Drip Water Cave is no longer guaranteed, I can also tell you some things. At that time, facing that cave, there was a disagreement between Jingyi and Xianmeng.”
Elder Jingyi's voice grew lower and lower, finally fading into a low whisper.
"He has a cave, and there is a chance for the purple palace."
I have a cave, and there is also a chance for the purple palace.
In the end, he gave it to me.
It's because I feel guilty towards my family."
It's because Wang Jingyi feels guilty towards the family.
Elder Jingyi's words would surely move Wang Yulou deeply.
As an elder, Elder Jingyi's care for Wang Yulou can be said to be extreme.
When Wang Yulou went to practice in the Drip Water Cave, Elder Jingyi gave him two valuable, shapeless Sword symbols that are worth 20,000 pieces of spirit stone each. The gifts were directly given to him - this was certainly because Elder Jingyi wanted to repay Wang Yulou for bringing her the security of the Peaceful Orange Tree Cave, but it also showed her great affection.
When selecting a marriage partner for Wang Yulou, Elder Jingyi also put in a great deal of effort. In the end, she chose Lin Ying, the younger sister of teacher Lin, as a suitable match.
How can one say that Elder Jingyi doesn't care for Wang Yulou? When faced with Yuan Dao Shen's repeated bullying of Wang Yulou, Elder Jingyi directly drew his sword and rose to the occasion. He nearly killed Yuan Dao Shen in one stroke. How can this be considered a lack of love?
As a pillar of the Wang family, Elder Jingyi's contribution to the family can be described as extremely significant.
It may be that Elder Jingyi's actions are not limited to the family, but the family's affairs, she always takes the initiative to handle them without hesitation or blurriness.
Whether it is her care for Wang Yulou or her contribution to the family, she doesn't stand any less than Wang Xianzhou.
However, it was indeed under her watch that the cave heaven was stolen away, so she has always felt some shame in her heart.
"Elder, the loss of the cave heaven seems inevitable to me."
Elder Jingyi arranged for Teacher Uncle Qiusheng to take the position of the headmaster in order to prove his Golden Dan. These years have exhausted the abilities of exploiting resources, taking away our cave heaven is not an unexpected event.
Looking ahead, it seems to be full of ruins. We still need to look forward, remember the resentment, keep it in our hearts, and continue on.
At least, the Elder intentionally let you achieve the Purple Palace through ancient methods. In the future, if everything goes well, with the vastness of the cultivation world, there may be other possibilities after the Purple Palace.
"Wait for our own heavenly time."
RARELY, Wang Yulou comforted his own elder in a rare display.
It's not surprising. Everyone in the world is a pitiful person struggling in the sea of suffering. Wang Jingyi hasn't truly become an immortal, so how could she not have vulnerable places in her heart? It's just that she usually hides it very deeply, and doesn't want to say it out loud.
For example, a few days ago, when they had a heart-to-heart talk, Elder Jingyi was already in a state of extreme difficulty to maintain her composure. But she knew about Wang Yulou's fear and concerns in his heart, so she put on a brave face and comforted him instead.
Now, it's just a matter of changing roles. As close relatives within the same clan, it is proper to support each other.
This kind of support not only includes sword symbols and cave heavens, but also emotions.
Laughing and tapping Wang Yulou's forehead lightly, Elder Jingyi feigned anger and said.
"You little cunning one, you're actually giving me a lecture now. Don't say any more gloomy things. On this trip to the Western Sea, there are many things I need to go over with you in detail."
Under the criticism of the Elder, Wang Yulou did not get angry. He just felt that the usually stern Elder Jingyi has finally smiled a few times these days, and his heart also feels happy.
The Elder is amidst the Red Lanterns of the Underworld. Many things become clearer naturally, and how can her heart not have some pressure?
It's all just for the sake of cultivation, and to maintain the family's position in front of the Elder. She endures it with effort only.
If I can make the Elder happy by being obedient, it's worth it. Being criticized by the Elder is nothing compared to making her happy.
Wang Yulou has practiced to the tenth layer of spiritual energy. The responsibilities he needs to bear are numerous, and at this moment, it is also one of them.
"Wang Yulou dares not. Please, Elder, give me your guidance."
"Although Wang Xianzhou has not come with us, he will meet you later. For small matters, just follow his instructions. I'm standing at a higher position, and I'll tell you three important things."
His tone carried a touch of solemnity, and Elder Jingyi even emphasized the importance of the words.
"Our Wang family has never entrusted the Imperial Edict of the cultivation alliance to an outsider to act on our behalf for a thousand years, let alone send someone of another surname."
"I also know many rumors. Although some things cannot be verified, they are indeed suspicious."
West Sea Hunt Demon may just be a means for the Xiaoheng Alliance to relieve the internal pressure of the cultivation world in Wuguan Basin. That's all.
Whether the demons are eliminated or not, it does not affect the overall situation in Wuguan.
"If the pressure from the bottom of the cultivation world is too great, it would be troublesome. Therefore, it's necessary to leave an opening for the scattered cultivators to build their foundation."
Wang Yulou did not speak, but he nodded silently. He had already guessed this point.
Mu Chunze is a foundational cultivator who emerged from the West Sea, and he later became a son-in-law of the Zhou family.
Miao Feng Mountain - the Valley Spirit Sect has been fighting for many years and has produced nearly 100 foundational cultivators. War can consume cultivators at the bottom of the cultivation world, and bring about more foundational cultivators for the Xiaoheng Alliance like oxen and horses.
This logic can also be applied to the Hunt Demon.
"Therefore, when you reach the Western Sea, don't be deceived by talk of demonic hatred. Don't blindly go to the front line to 'guard the human race'. "
The name of Tian She Sect is Tian She itself. There are also two demon generals elders in the Red Lanterns of the Underworld. Besides that, there are three dragons in Fu Long Observatory and Bai Xun General, a revered master and real demon king in fact.
It's similar with other sects. Take the Drip Water Cave, isn't Hong Li the True Immortal also a demon general?"
Wang Jingyi advised him very seriously, almost breaking apart the instructions piece by piece for Wang Yulou.
She's afraid, she's afraid that Wang Yulou is too young and gets fooled by the "Ideological Program of Frontline in West Sea of Guoguan" created by high-level cultivators.
The great cultivators have monopolized everything and then don't come out, hiding in cave heavens to enjoy the support from sects, clans, families, and the cultivation alliance.
However, they fool the cultivators at the front line of West Sea to hunt demons. Is that not just pure evil?
But there are a group of delusional people who believe that their lives are in their own hands and not by the heavens, and who think that it is necessary to eliminate demons between humans and demons. They throw their lives into it, becoming mere consumables.
"Wang Yulou will carefully follow the teachings of the Elder. Elder, Wang Yulou actually has another idea."
Wang Yulou understood the Elder's good intentions. Just now, the Elder's words were only for him, a core descendant of the family, and it was a secret and important to an extreme degree that could be passed down without being written down. This type of crucial information in the cultivation world could be considered more important than many arcane secrets of arts and skills.
Another idea?
"How, do you also want to mention the idea of organizing the old and experienced cultivators of our family to lead the team to hunt demons in the Western Sea?" Wang Jingyi first smiled and then explained.
"This matter has already been arranged by Xian Mao. Our newly recruited foreign guest, Zheng Yan, is in charge of this. However, the mode is very unusual."
He has learned a lot of secret cultivation techniques from our Wang family, which are counted as spirit stones. He will lead the team to hunt demons in the West Sea and gradually return them to us.
For this trip to the West Sea, you can go directly to him for any issues you encounter. He's considered half an insider, but he's not as close as Tie Qinhe.
A few years ago, after Wang Rongjiang's foundation, our Wang family recruited another outsider who had reached the foundation stage. It was this person. Wang Yulou did not expect that his own family would arrange for such a thing, and his heart felt a bit more relaxed.
With the protection of Shackle Dragon True Immortal above and Zheng Yan, an outsider who has reached the foundation stage, as his helper, Wang Yulou's cultivation has also reached the tenth layer of spiritual energy.
The West Sea doesn't seem to be as terrifying anymore.
"That's good. But Wang Yulou wants to say another thing, Elder. If hunting demons in the Western Sea really is as you think, it's the design of the Xiaoheng Alliance."
"If we think in reverse from the perspective of the demons in the West Sea, does that mean that sending demon beasts to Wuguan is also something they need?"
Wang Jingyi nodded first, then realized something was off. This perspective was too ordinary.
"What are you saying?"
"Elder, with the numerous demon generals and kings from the ten sects serving as elders, and the situation in the West Sea...
Does this mean that cultivators in the world, whether they are human or demon, become the same when they reach a high position?
The words he said were like a question, but the tone had already implied the answer.
Wang Jingyi paused slightly, then spoke earnestly.
"Don't think about these things, Wang Yulou. I know you are unhappy and resentful."
Therefore, you always try to understand everything in order to find a quick way to go up.
But haste makes waste, and this shouldn't be what you're thinking now. Your current task is to fill the gaps in the arcane secrets and techniques.
The master uncle has promoted your cultivation to the tenth layer, but he can't help you with the path of the Decade Water Qi in traceback. These are things in front of you.
First, walk the path in front of you. The rest, I and the clan chief will think for you. After you reach foundation stage, then think for yourself!
Wang Yulou quickly extracted the Elder's instructions, summarized and confirmed them immediately, and replied.
"Haste makes waste, don't be lured by distant illusions, walk the path in front of you."
Wang Yulou understood, Elder. Why the other two matters?
Seeing Wang Yulou's understanding, Wang Jingyi was very satisfied.
Wang Yulou's greatness lies in his wisdom.
"The West Sea front is a special frontier of the Xiaoheng Alliance in Wuguan, although it is on the edge of the Red Lanterns' influence, it does not fall under their jurisdiction."
Therefore, in the West Sea, you cannot be too high-profile, and you cannot act recklessly by relying on the name of the Elder and the Red Lanterns. You must use them carefully.
Do you also understand the subtleties within?"
Wang Yulou naturally understands.
"In the Red Lanterns, the Elder's status is currently prosperous, but outside the Red Lanterns, the Elder's name may not be as effective. Moreover, it may also be watched by the subordinates of the Elder's enemies. How do you understand this?"
"Ha ha ha, good!"
Wang Yulou's understanding is fine, he can understand at a glance. This kind of intelligence is undoubtedly great wisdom.
"Third, the cultivators in the West Sea come from various places in Wuguan, and they are mixed like fish and dragons. Among them, some are good and some are bad."
In the family's instruction for guiding young cultivators in qigui, there is a phrase 'exchange only with people of world relations,' which is to prevent you from being deceived or betrayed.
It's hard to recognize people, Wang Yulou. You have always been smart, but you are more likely to believe that you can see through people.
But it's exactly such, it's easy to fall into a big trap.
The cultivators who cause trouble and mischief in the West Sea often commit crimes and then just change their appearance slightly, making it difficult to investigate them.
The situation in the West Sea is too chaotic, you must be careful and always examine yourself, remember that?"
Wang Yulou was silent for a long time. Just as Wang Jingyi worried that his words might underestimate Wang Yulou, causing him to be upset, Wang Yulou finally spoke up.
"First, don't be deceived by the slogans created by the great cultivators and become mere consumables."
"Second, the West Sea is not under the jurisdiction of the Red Lanterns. Use the Elder's name with caution, and be humble when necessary."
"Third, be careful and cautious, always examine yourself, and be cautious in your dealings with others."
Elder, Wang Yulou has taken all this to heart."
Wang Yulou has remembered all three things the Elder entrusted him with, and some of the worries in Wang Jingyi's heart have been relieved.
With Wang Yulou's intelligence, as long as he is aware of these three dangerous lines in advance, he won't suffer from much danger when he arrives in the West Sea.
As for the finer details, Wang Rongwen and Wang Xianzhou will guide Wang Yulou; there is no need for her to worry any further.
"Very good, very good. But Wang Yulou, what did you just think of?"
As the sun set, Wang Yulou and his grandfather were sitting together on the flying vehicle made of spirit stones.
Wang Yulou leaned back against the chair, a look of reminiscence crossing his face.
"Elder, my first time seeing you was many years ago in Qingxi Alley."
At that time, you were solemn and stern. Wang Yulou thought you were a strict person, and when you spoke, he was careful.
Ha ha ha, looking back now, Wang Yulou was a little naive back then."
Wang Jingyi wanted to laugh, but couldn't, only feeling relieved in his heart.
Good child.
"This is the precious talisman that was bestowed upon me by your Suspense Master Ancestor. It is called "Escape from the Heavenly River," possessing seven to eight percent of its power, that of the Purple Palace Dao."
You are still in the practice of spiritual energy and your body is frail, unable to withstand the backlash from this divine path talisman.
Before using it, first take three of these seven treasures miraculous growth pills, so that the injuries to your body will not be too serious.
Later, make a small mechanism in your mouth to constantly keep three of these seven treasures miraculous growth pills in there, so that you can turn danger into safety when faced with peril."
Wang Jingyi's hand came out with a talisman, saying it was a talisman, but it should be 'an article'.
It was a silver square object with a silver texture, yet it was semi-transparent. Within the silver semi-transparent square object were countless intricate spiritual patterns, giving it an extremely unworldly look. This was the "Escape from the Heavenly River" talisman that carried the Dao of Escape from the Purple Palace.
Elder Wang Jingyi also gave Wang Yulou three pills of the Seven Treasures Miraculous Birth Pill. Wang Yulou had never heard of this pill, but just from the single pill and its packaging, a seal made of ninth-grade flowing light wax, it was clear that it was not an ordinary item.
"Elder, this is too precious, and I am only a spiritual energy cultivator. I don't need the Dao of Escape from the Purple Palace or the Azure Dragon's Freedom Pill. The Qilin's Green Rank Permit is sufficient."
"Right, here are four more Qilin's Green Rank Permit. I have no use for them, so you can use them."
"This..."
"Keep it!"
