The Wind and Earth Demon is very special; his appearance made the Jade Tower somewhat silent.
The Jade Tower recalled his past self. When he first entered the Daoist realm, he had faced a similar situation. The outcome was that Gao Jian beat to death a lone cultivator in broad daylight, and the Daoist Alliance members paid no heed — even being angered by the blood splatter onto his own clothes.
He believed that that was the limit of the Daoist Alliance's roaming members.
Now he understands that, in fact, the power of Daoist Alliance roamers is enormous.
Therefore, it's not surprising that the fierce and ruthless sides of the Old Ancestor Xian Zhou are sometimes revealed.
However, Yu Lou certainly wouldn't enjoy the protection of the old ancestor, cursing in his heart that the Old Ancestor Xian Zhou was not a decent person.
That saying goes like this: In some times, people are pushed to become ghosts, and in some times, ghosts are transformed into people.
The rules of the Daoist realm are in place, and Wang Xianzhou has no real ancestor. Neither does Wang Yulong have a real ancestor. The Wang family is too weak; they are not entitled to behave as Wind and Earth Demon does, without considering the consequences.
And even so, today the Wind Sword Immortal almost fell.
"Yu Lou, what do you think of Wind and Earth Demon's actions?"
Wang Jingti never cared much about Yu Lou's specific cultivation. In her opinion, the cultivation before solidifying the foundation was not considered true cultivation; it was merely an entrance stage of time and resource consumption.
She and the clan chief, Wang Xianmao, both pay more attention to Yu Lou's growth as a cultivator. The clan chief from Qingxi Lane was like this, and so is the current elder grandmatriarch, Jingyi.
The improvement of cultivation is a form of cultivation; how to become a 'qualified' cultivator, is also a form of cultivation. There is no hierarchy between the two.
It's simply that different stages have different focuses.
Wang Yulong is still young and needs to prioritize the latter. When the talent is sufficient, the importance of the former should be placed at the forefront.
"From Yu Lou's perspective, the Wind Sword Immortal's current situation has some kind of inevitability."
Feng Zhenren is a real ancestor, so Feng Jianxian can enjoy the protection of Feng Zhenren.
Even when he offends others for reasons not his own, there won't be any dangerous consequences.
But as his cultivation improves, he will inevitably encounter certain boundaries in the process of offending people, and then, he will be hit hard.
"If Feng Zhenren still manages the family, he wouldn't sit idly by and let Feng Jianxian become what he is today."
What is truth?
What is false?
What is right?
What is wrong?
What is training and guidance?
What is the hidden truth?
Wunu, there are no demon cultivators.
The winner, are all Supreme Immortals.
In the realm of Daoist cultivation where might makes right, a kind hearted but incapable individual holds little value.
If Wind and Earth Demon truly wants to save people and save more people, his most rational choice would be to fully improve his cultivation, reach the pinnacle of the Daoist cultivation world, and then purify the universe.
Kindness does not equate to righteousness; righteousness itself is defined by people, and the righteousness of the winner is righteous.
Meaning itself has no meaning; only the winner can bestow meaning upon it.
"Wind and Earth Demon's current appearance is not simple; he might be pretending."
Wang Jingti reminded.
"I've told you three things before, and the third is that the West Sea is a den of thieves, where people's hearts are hard to read," Wang Jingti reminded.
If Wind and Earth Demon is indeed a soft-hearted, good-natured but incompetent person, then the story of him knocking out the black dog demon with a golden liquid sword is highly suspect.
If that story is true, then it indicates that he is not bound by conventional methods and possesses true great wisdom. The golden liquid sword seems laughable, but he wins regardless.
If someone is not bound by conventional methods and possesses true great wisdom, but still unwilling to submit to the rules of Wu Nan and the entire Daoist Alliance, then this person's character can be trusted.
Wang Jingti's words were not pleasant to hear, but Yu Lou realized that he had indeed been making a fool of himself in trying to understand who Wind and Earth Demon really was.
"Grandmatriarch, you are right. I haven't seen such a person for a long time, and for a moment, I forgot to think about whether his actions were true or false."
Wang Yulou's acuity and wisdom lie in this very point.
Although it was just a small mistake, he could take in the old ancestor's advice and was willing to reflect on it. This is true intelligence.
Grandmatriarch Jingyi slightly raised her chin, pointing to a grand mansion in front of them, and smiled.
"Ha ha ha, don't talk about him. You should handle it yourself."
"The Gu Family's tea house is not just a tea house. We will stay here temporarily tonight."
"Isn't it supposed to be a mansion? Shouldn't we wait until tomorrow?" Yu Lou asked in confusion.
"The Chuan Yuan Zhenren of the Gu Family, Tea King, is a remarkable person. He doesn't belong to any sect, but he manages the Gu Family well."
The spiritual tea is a specialty of the Gu family. Therefore, he opened the Gu family tea house in various cities under the governance of Daoist Alliance.
It is named a tea house, but in fact, it is a place for information exchange.
If you go to a place where you are blindfolded, you can enter the Gu Family Tea House to gather information and temporarily hide.
The Gu family will not sell the information of its guests. If you stay in the Gu Family Tea House, as long as you have not been directly pursued by a Daoist Alliance's real ancestor, you can safely leave through the hidden passageway of the tea house.
Let's go in.
Grandmatriarch Jingyi briefly introduced a few words and led Yu Lou into the Huafu residence.
Said to be a tea house, but this tea house occupied a large piece of land in the city of Xihai, turning it into a mansion.
Elaborate carvings and painted eaves are ordinary, but it is the spiritual flowers that make it extraordinary.
Upon entering the residence of the Gu Family Tea House, a receptionist, a female cultivator at the level of practice one, welcomed them. Yu Lou gave a light glance and immediately understood that this was another cultivator who had broken through the bottleneck with a breakthrough great pill.
The same level of cultivation can make a great manager in Qingxi Lane's Zhiwei Restaurant or in Xihai's Zhiwei Restaurant.
But at the Gu Family Tea House, she could only be a door servant to greet guests.
The splendor of the Gu family, as displayed in the palace doorway, can be seen from this glimpse.
"Two elders, would you like tea or music?"
The servant girl smiled and bent to bow, then asked softly.
Grandmatriarch Jingyi didn't move at all. She simply explained to Yu Lou.
"Just tea, as you said. But if you answer 'have a bowl,' it means you plan to stay for the night here, and 'have ten bowls' means ten days."
The accommodation fee at the Gu Family Tea House is not low, but it's comfortable to stay here and worth it.
As for listening to music, it corresponds to purchasing intelligence information, and there are three incisions here.
Saying "I want to hear the new song composed by the Gu Family" corresponds to buying intelligence.
Saying "I heard a good song elsewhere, I don't know if the Gu Family Tea House has it," is selling intelligence.
Saying 'The song I want to listen to may not be available here' is to directly communicate with the manager of this place.
The last one should not be shouted lightly; once said, it starts at a hundred spirit stones — the manager of the Gu Family Tea House will pour you a good cup of tea, and you have to pay regardless of whether you drink it or not.
As for what can be achieved and whether the goal can be realized, it has nothing to do with the spirit stones for drinking."
After hearing the old grandmother's explanation, Yu Lou gradually understood the difference between wandering cultivators and those with a background.
The Gu Family Tea House alone has so many sayings just for the entrance.
If it weren't for the old grandmother's explanation, how could he have known these things?
The female cultivator, who was responsible for greeting guests, was somewhat astonished. Having been a door servant welcoming guests for so many years, she had never seen anyone being taught in person before.
The Wang family is like that; they don't care much about outsiders' opinions when it comes to doing things.
After explaining, the old grandmother looked at her and asked with a smile.
"What are you waiting for? Didn't you hear I wanted to meet your manager?"
"Ha ha ha, Jingyi junior, you, you... aren't you subtly cursing us?"
"Even if it's just one cuppa of spirit tea, and you come here to drink it every day, I wouldn't charge you any spirit stones. Alright?"
A cheerful and generous voice traveled from afar to near, with the owner of the voice directly appearing in front of the family gate of the estate as seen by Yu Lou.
He nodded to Wang Jingyi, smiling slightly with a hint of helplessness.
"Qilang brother? How did you end up in Xihai?"
Clearly, Wang Jingyi and this Gu Qilang knew each other well, addressing him directly by name and adding a brotherly suffix.
Their relationship seemed to be good, as Yu Lou noticed that the old grandmother showed some surprise.
"This isn't a place for talking. Let's go drink some spirit tea that doesn't cost you spirit stones, Ha ha ha."
It was clear that Gu Qilang was not very satisfied with Wang Jingyi's mood, and emphasized once again that the spirit stones were not needed.
However, their relationship was clearly not ordinary. Wang Jingyi didn't mind his teasing at all and laughed while saying that she wouldn't drink it unless it was a sixth-grade tea.
At the same time, Grandmatriarch Jingyi pulled Yu Lou and whispered to him secretly.
'Gu Qilang, a close friend and confidant of my deceased husband. Yu Lou, you have an elder in Xihai. Brother Qilang is reliable.'
Although the Gu Family Tea House is named a tea house, it is no longer in its original form. Inside the Gu Family Tea House in Xihai, there are only individual courtyards, and cultivators drink tea by themselves, completely without that foolish appearance of sitting in a hall with one table for each person.
In essence, the Gu Family Tea House now operates in the business of intelligence gathering, and the spirit tea is just a side product.
After a few people came to a secluded courtyard deep in the Gu Family Tea House, they finally sat down and started chatting.
"Jingyi, I didn't expect you to not know, your family's esteemed ancestor has invited the Qingrui Immortal through a celestial edict from the Daoist Alliance."
Each faction and family under the Red Lantern Illumination Gate will dispatch a total of three thousand practice layer cultivators to Xihai to serve as ingredients for beasts.
That's why the old grandmother transferred me from the Lianhua Immortal City — Master's appointment of me as the real person in charge of Xihai is not simple at all; Master's calculations are cunning, and no one can see through them."
In the first sentence, Gu Qilang exposed a big scoop.
What does the arrangement of Zhou Fujiao becoming a disciple and taking office in Xihai mean, and not many people have figured it out.
However, it is clear that Wanxiang will have some scheme in Xihai, which can be seen from the celestial edict issued by the Qingrui Immortal.
Yu Lou was somewhat silent, a directive from a high-level cultivator, and three thousand practitioners entering Xihai, how many of them could survive to return?
" How many disciples did the Drip Water Cave send here?" Wang Jingyi suppressed her unease and asked.
Gu Qilang pointed to Yu Lou and joked.
"Fifty, and your family's Wang Yu Lou isn't here as well."
Yuan Dao Shen probably didn't expect that Zhou Fujiao would become a disciple of the elder.
"With Zhou Fujiao present, Yu Lou will naturally be safe in Xihai."
It's too professional, too professional, even knowing the details of the internal dispute in Drip Water Cave.
The Gu family truly deserves its reputation for intelligence gathering. The manager of the Gu Family Tea House in Xihai, Gu Qilang, is indeed extraordinary. With just a few sentences, he made Wang Yulou feel a bit uneasy in his heart.
Does he still know something else?
"Don't scare him, Lang brother, Yu Lou will marry Yingxi from Zhou Fujiao's family in a few days. This will also mean that he has become a disciple of the elder. Zhou Fujiao casually arranged a position in an Xian City for him."
I was thinking of finding a better residence for him, which is why I came to your tea house to ask around. I didn't expect to find you here. You really need to take this seriously."
Wang Yulou was first promoted in his cultivation level, and then married the daughter of Zhou Wujiang's family.
Gu Qilang suppressed the shock in his heart, smiling and jokingly replied.
"Spirit tea can be drunk for free, but the spirit stones for renting a mansion have to be paid by you."
First, Wang Jingyi criticized the black heart of the Gu Family Tea House, but she couldn't blame Gu Qilang for following up later.
Therefore, Grandmatriarch Jingyi had to glare at this old friend of hers and slightly smiling, she took out a piece of spirit stone from her pocket.
"So take this as a deposit of five hundred spirit stones. Yu Lou and I will stay here until we find a residence."
Gu Qilang's face turned stern, somewhat dissatisfied.
"Jingyi, it's only been forty years since we last met, and you've become so distant. Is that right?"
You and Yu Lou can just stay here casually, as long as Yu Lou sells me more information in the future, haha."
It seems generous, but it's not entirely straightforward generosity.
Gu Qilang's words carried a sense of playful and intimate familiarity between friends in the first sentence, while the latter part had a more serious and solemn tone.
Yu Lou once again witnessed the extraordinary abilities of experienced foundation cultivators.
In fact, every experienced foundation cultivator he has seen since entering the cultivation world has not been a fool.
Idiots can be promoted to foundation cultivators by large clans, but it's very difficult for them to become experienced foundation cultivators who can stand alone.
From Mu Chunze, Wang Xianmao, Jiang Baoxian, to Yuan Daoshen, Wang Jingyi, Zhuoyin Sheng, Guo Baishi, Lin Manyao, and this Gu Qilang in front of him.
All of these experienced foundation cultivators are very capable in both human affairs and cultivation abilities.
"We'd better pay spirit stones, you don't want to ruin Yu Lou's reputation. Spreading rumors recklessly can cause trouble."
Grandmatriarch Jingyi shook her head and declined her old friend's 'generosity'.
Things that can be solved with spirit stones naturally should be solved with spirit stones.
"Jingyi, you are too courteous. Yu Lou is your junior and also my junior."
Gathering intelligence is part of my duty, and as for staying here, not just for one or two days."
I think, the residence for Yu Lou doesn't need to be picked, just move in here directly. He can stay as long as he wants.
Information, Yu Lou can sell if he wants to, and I will never ask if he doesn't want to sell."
In that case, Yu Lou, if I ever ask anything inappropriate, you must report it truthfully to your Grandmatriarch Jingyi, and let her kill me with a sword!"
"Just report the truth to your Grandmatriarch Jingyi, let her slice me with a sword!"
Gu Qilang is truly a wonderful person, completely not treating himself as an outsider, quite like the way Wang Yu Lou feels about Lin Mengyao.
Back when Wang Yu Lou and Lin Ying weren't married yet, he treated Lin Mengyao as if he were his adoptive grandmatriarch every day, and he didn't pull in little support for him.
One's status is not given by oneself, but one can control their attitude. The mystery of relationships lies not only in the value of both parties but also in the attitude they adopt.
Wang Yu Lou is clearly the rising star of the Mangxiang lineage, and Gu Qilang wants to draw him close and be friends with him, naturally willing to put on a good attitude.
Gu Qilang is the manager of the Gu family's tea house in Xihai, and Grandmatriarch Jingyi thinks that Wang Yu Lou might need to use Gu Qilang's help while mingling in Xihai. Therefore, facing Old Gu's attitude, she really can't say something like 'You seem a bit too not treating yourself as an outsider.'
This is the level of Gu Qilang.
"The residence should still be chosen, and Yu Lou and Zhou Yingxi should not stay at your place after their marriage."
Brother Qilang, show us the information about the residences you have that are for sale. Let's pick out a few suitable ones today, and then we can go to see them in person tomorrow."
How to become a qualified intelligence dealer?
Gu Qilang has deduced three pieces of information from Wang Jingyi's words.
The first, Wang Yulou and Zhou Yingxi's combination is not a concubine - it's not the same as Mu Chunze's.
The second is buying a mansion, not renting a mansion - the Wang family may develop in Xihai, and Wang Jingyi's act of pretending not to know about the elder's layout may be an act. The Mangxiang elder is aiming for something great.
The third is that Wang Yulou and Zhou Yingxi's wedding should be in about ten or fifteen days, otherwise Wang Jingyi would not be so anxious. She sets a general goal today and wants to see it in person tomorrow.
Gu Qilang transmitted a sound, and shortly after, some of Gu Family's staff brought the relevant information over.
The manager of the Gu family in Xihai raised a special spirit artifact, and under the spiritual resonance, the appearance of Xihai Xianshi City and its affiliated city were unfolded in front of the several people.
The streets and buildings of Xianshi City and its affiliated city appeared in a hazy manner on the spirit artifact, as if on a sand table. Gu Qilang moved his spiritual power, and seventy-odd places in light red appeared from the blue sand table.
"There are seventy-plus residences that are for sale. You can see twenty-seven in Xianshi City and forty-five in the attached city. They come in all sizes and shapes."
As for the price, the ones in Xianshi City are more expensive and also not easy to circulate. My suggestion is to buy one in the attached city instead; it can be sold out in time if you want to get rid of it in the future."
Gu Qilang wasn't just giving advice; he was also testing Wang Jingyi's true thoughts, as he may have some knowledge of Mangxiang's goals.
Buying Xianshi City and buying the attached city have different meanings; they are completely different.
"What is the price for this one?" Grandmatriarch Jingyi pointed at a red residence and asked.
The spiritual resonance sand table transformed instantly, and the residence pointed out by Grandmatriarch Jingyi expanded rapidly. It transformed from an inconspicuous small point to a small courtyard about the size of a plate, with the scenery in the courtyard faint but the surrounding scenery clear.
"This is the second door, seventeenth house of Xianshi City's Xihai Estate. Most of the residents here are scattered cultivators and foundation cultivators from outside, with small courtyards and relatively cheaper prices. It costs 80,000 spirit stones."
Whisper. 80,000 spirit stones.
Wang Yulou took a deep breath of cold air.
The price of housing in Xianshi City seems to be a bit too high.
"How big is it specifically?" Wang Jingyi was not at all flustered.
Buying a Xianshi City residence that is safe and can be inherited for 80,000 spirit stones seems expensive, but it's also the market price.
"Half a catty wide, seven catties long, two buildings with eight rooms and a hall, including a small garden, is a standard foundation residence for building practitioners, can easily accommodate dozens of people."
"Accommodating dozens of people is a bit cramped, what about the other one?"
Living with dozens of people is a bit cramped?
Reflecting on the intelligence he has probed, Gu Qilang smiled and continued to introduce.
"The seventh door, second house in the Wansha Estate of the attached city is a great location, right next to the sub-bureau of the attached city's law enforcement team. It's priced at 70,000 spirit stones. Six catties wide and ten catties long, with two buildings, ten rooms, and one hall, plus only one pool—it's also a good choice."
Yu Lou thought to himself that it was true that the outside of the city was not as good as the inner circle of Xianshi City. Although the area was double that of the previous place, the price was still cheaper.
"Hmm, then, introduce the most expensive and the cheapest ones."
"Well, let me ask you this way. Introduce both the most expensive and the cheapest ones."
"The most expensive is this one."
The spiritual sand table changed its appearance like the rotation of the stars, directly bringing the scene to the center of Xihai Xianshi City.
"This is the former site of Zhenyao Building before, the fourth house in Xihai Xianshi City's Fengtian Street. This place isn't for living, but for opening a shop. There is no price, and the specific price needs to be discussed with the manager of Zhenyao Building's branch in Xihai, Qingfeng. I estimate at least 40 to 50 million spirit stones."
Zhenyao Building site, Qingfeng in Xihai, 4 to 5 million spirit stones.
Wang Jingyi shook her head indicating she would not consider it.
Gu Qilang didn't find it strange. If the Wang family really could afford it, he would report directly to Grandmaster Gu Qilang - the old ancestor, there might be something big happening.
"The cheapest one is in the Scattered Practitioner Estate of the attached city. I don't know which house it is, but it costs only 5,000 spirit stones. It's a scattered practitioner-style residence that's two catties wide and three catties long. It's small, but it's both cheap and easy to sell. It's actually quite popular."
Yu Lou nodded to himself inwardly. Indeed, the old, dilapidated, and small houses in the central city of the cultivation world are also easy to circulate.
What should this be called?
The first mansion for scattered practitioners in Xianshi City?
"Start with the third most expensive one. Let's look at them one by one; we can't buy too cheap."
Although it started from the third most expensive one, Wang Jingyi's generosity still made Gu Qilang slightly surprised.
"The third most expensive"
Gu Qilang introduced, Wang Jingyi listened, occasionally asking for Yu Lou's opinion, and finally decided on eight places they were interested in, with an agreement to view them tomorrow.
——
Old Gu is reliable, arranging a courtyard for the two to live in the second-cheapest of all the Gu family tea houses, which is obvious that he means they can truly live there for free without any joke.
However, neither Wang Jingyi nor Wang Yulou had any intention of taking advantage of this small favor.
"Grandmatriarch, the mansions you've chosen are very expensive. It's not said that our Wang family is almost unable to supply the spiritual resources needed for foundation cultivation for a few practitioners?"
The setting sun was dim and gloomy. Wang Yulou and Grandmatriarch Jingyi were sitting opposite each other at a stone table in the courtyard.
"You just need to provide spirit stones. Don't you still have some?"
Wang Jingyi's words left Wang Yulou somewhat perplexed.
"I can provide them, but just..."
"The spirit stones are naturally the property of the family, just that they are temporarily stored in Wang Yulou's storage bag. This is something Wang Yulou understands about the big picture."
The family has not treated him poorly, so at this point, he naturally cannot hold back.
"Hahaha, Yulou, when you marry Zhou Yingxi, Zhou Fuzhao must provide the spiritual resources for your foundation cultivation!"
"The spirit stones you've saved before can all be used to buy houses. If Zhou Fuzhao doesn't come up with it, just wait and don't worry. We're not in a hurry."
Of course, if Zhou Fuzhao is really stingy and doesn't bring up the matter of your foundation cultivation resources for twenty years, the family will also arrange for your foundation cultivation resources."
Ah, now I see. Wang Yulou was enlightened.
Yes, I have suffered so much hardship to be the stepping stone for Zhou Yingxi. As your teacher and old ancestor, Zhou Fuzhao, isn't it your responsibility to help me cultivate earlier?
Wang Yulou is loyal to the Wang family beyond words.
For Zhou Fuzhao, the new and old ancestor, and the new teacher, that's a different matter.
"Grandmatriarch, the spirit stones in Yulou's hand, initially earned 100,000 spirit stones from an old Yan debt. Before coming to Xihai, the Dripping Water Grotto merits were exchanged for another sum. With the income from the Hewan Fishing Port and communication fairs, there are now a total of 150,000 spirit stones."
"I originally wanted to use these spirit stones to buy an elixir of longevity for old Xian Zhou, but considering the current situation, earning another big sum to send me to Xihai with 3,000 cultivation points is not too difficult if I work a little harder."
"I can contribute 140,000 spirit stones. What do you think?"
150,000 spirit stones, most of which were originally prepared by Wang Yulou for cultivation. High-speed cultivation requires an enormous amount of resources, and the marginal effect of elixirs decreases sharply.
In the end, the true person directly promoted him from the sixth level to the tenth level. As a result, old Xian Zhou no longer had to follow him, and the spiritual resources he had accumulated in the past were saved.
"Not necessary. About 100,000 spirit stones should be enough. It can't look too extravagant, and 100,000 spirit stones are enough to buy a good mansion in Xianshi City."
That's it, you'll go to see Feng Di Sha tomorrow, and then report to Feng Wen Ting.
I'll go with you tomorrow, Qilang, to visit the selected properties in person, and then select the top three among them.
"You decide which one specifically the day after tomorrow, and let's solve the issue of buying a house as soon as possible."
After Wang Yulou marries Zhou Yingxi, Wang Yulou definitely will not be a son-in-law. Zhou Fuzhao doesn't have that kind of face.
In this case, Wang Yulou needs a decent mansion for the newlyweds Zhou Yingxi and himself to live in.
Moreover, Wang Yulou, as the supervisor of the more than ten Wang family members in Xihai, his mansion can also be the residence of the Wang family members. Therefore, it should be a little larger and more expensive.
Grandmatriarch's arrangement is very considerate. Wang Yulou nodded in agreement, but he noticed something strange today.
"Grandmatriarch, why is Gu Qilang the same generation as Gu Qilan?"
Grandmatriarch Jingyi nodded with satisfaction. Wang Yulou is indeed sharp and observant, even paying attention to the details.
"Our family's genealogy divides generations of male family members by every hundred years, while female family members can choose their own names. However, the name order in the genealogy of different families is not the same."
Qingrui Xianzun became a cultivator for female cultivators, and in her family, women have rankings while men do not.
You are well aware of the dirt-stained family from Dripping Water Grotto. Only experienced foundation cultivators can have rankings, and even a foundation like that of Zhuochi doesn't have any.
Master Gu is a clever person with considerable talent in business management.
The rankings within the Gu family can be bought, and the status of a family disciple of the Gu family can also be bought and upgraded.
Although Gu family is a family, it has actually taken the form of a sect.
For example, you can buy a 'Tong' character generation, which would make you a true disciple and an elder of the Gu family. With achievements, you can even be promoted to the 'Qi' character generation.
This strategy is quite interesting. In a sense, it can be said that the Gu family has developed to its current state thanks to this special mode and the unique spirit tea."
It is truly fascinating in the cultivation realm, and the high-level cultivators indeed have their own styles. Grandmaster Gu Qilan's "sell character generation" mode is truly imaginative.
Wang Yulou felt a sense of pressure.
These great cultivators, such as Thunder Elephant, Divine Light, Gu Qilan, Palace Jiushheng, Red Fish, Candlelight, and Green Petal, are truly extraordinary.
How should I strive to achieve a position alongside them, or even higher?
"How, have you thought of something?"
Seeing that the child was silent, Grandmatriarch Jingyi asked.
Wang Yulou smiled and got up from the stone bench, stretching out his arms. Facing the thick sunset, he rarely exposed his true feelings.
"Grandmatriarch, you've said that every True Immortal in the Purple Mansion is a master of their own style, and all Golden Dan immortals are legends."
Wang Yulou just thought, is the current special situation where I might lose the opportunity to become a True Immortal due to the restrictions of Wu nan and the Immortal Alliance some kind of beginning of a legend?
The cage is so strong and tight. The restrictions from Ancestral Master and Master Zhou are so large.
The road ahead for Wang Yulou is very, very difficult.
Every legendary Golden Dan Immortal and every extraordinary Purple Mansion cultivator, wasn't it all from the most difficult path?
Divine Light Immortal, with the origins of a five-element scattering cultivator, forged his path to enlightenment in Xihai.
Every other true immortal, every other immortal, has gone through harder situations than I am facing now, and they have overcome them.
That's right, for a time, one holds oneself in check and remains submerged, then breaks free with all one's might, like a rainbow soaring across the sky.
No matter how difficult the road ahead may be, Wang Yulou will continue to walk forward with hope in his heart!”
Wang Jingyi remained still for a long time. She wanted to say that Wang Yulou has the potential to enter the Purple Mansion.
However, she felt that this was not appropriate. She shouldn't be too supportive of Wang Yulou. His path is difficult, and if she gave him too much hope, it might lead to disappointment like it did with Xian Zhou in the future.
"Take your time, Yulou, don't rush. You are our family's most extraordinary Qilin descendant. Even so, go rest for a while."
Wang Yulou bowed respectfully without saying much.
The clan, the individual, the sect, the Ancestral Master, the Immortal Alliance, this cultivation realm is too complex. What he can decide is only himself.
——
Wang Yulou is very interested in this person, Feng Di Sha.
The first factor is the interest factor, which is not shameful. Without mentioning benefits, it is assumed that there are excess resources. Wang Yulou does not have excess resources, and everyImmortal Alliance cultivator owes the Immortal Alliance endless favor.
As a descendant of the Wang family, which is an affiliate of the Thunder Elephant, Wang Yulou also owes Thunder Elephant an additional favor.
An obligation of gratitude is the most difficult to repay. After enjoying the convenience under the Thunder Elephant's tutelage, one must bear the consequences and cannot avoid it.
In addition to the interests factor, Wang Yulou's heart was full of admiration for Feng Jianxian's temperament of speaking out when wronged. This made him subconsciously forget to be on guard and directly form a positive first impression of Feng Di Sha.
Therefore, in the morning, before the agreed upon time, Wang Yulou arrived at the entrance of Feng Di Sha's mansion early.
Perhaps it was left by the Feng family, Feng Di Sha's mansion was located in the best location of Fucheng, both spacious and beautiful, very luxurious.
Wang Yulou had just stood at the door for a moment when the main gate opened from inside, and Feng Jianxian, dressed in the celestial inner water robe of the Dripping Water Grotto as an elder, walked out with a smile.
"I know about your affairs, Old Yan is not a good person, but as long as you come to Xihai, you will be safe."
Yesterday when you came out wearing the Red Light Daoist transmission garment, that little beast from Qi family's face turned green, hahaha.
"You did me such a big favor. Come on, let's go to a good place and properly thank you."
Feng Di Sha is a senior foundation cultivator with his cultivation base well-concealed and solidified. However, he speaks to Wang Yulou in a tone that would be used between peers, indicating that he might indeed be a person of character.
"Elder, Wang Yulou dare not take credit. Moreover, I am not yet a true transmission of the Red Light Dao. Even if I were to become one, I would still be grateful for the favor of the Dripping Water Grotto."
Wang Yulou followed Feng Jianxian's words, making a joke.
The identity of a disciple of the Dripping Water Grotto cannot be given up. After all, the Dripping Water Grotto is an affiliate of the Red Light Dao, which only means that the Red Light Dao true transmission is more boundless and free, but regardless of where one goes, they are still contributing to the Red Light Dao.
"Oh? Where did you get the WanYe YongMing robe?" Feng Di Sha asked with suspicion.
"My ancestor, Grandmatriarch Jingyi, sent me over. She is a true transmission of the Red Light Dao. Elder Feng, when Wang Yulou came to find you, I had two things."
Feng Jianxian waved his hand and directly summoned a cool-looking gold-powered vehicle. However, he did not operate it himself but let his spirit beast, Black Dragon Horse, pull it.
"There's no talking business on the streets. Come on, my junior disciple will take you to see some sights."
Wang Yulou had no reason to refuse, so he sat on Feng Jianxian's gold-colored flying vehicle.
With the pulling of the giant spirit beast Black Dragon Horse, the gold-colored flying vehicle displayed its most fashionable and confident aura along the streets of Fucheng.
Feng Jianxian deliberately had the Black Dragon Horse control the speed, so that they could acknowledge their acquaintances as they traveled.
As a half-native of Xihai, Feng Jianxian still has some face in this area of Xihai.
As for being quick to help and like justice, as long as it's not about lending mana stones, everything else can be negotiated.
After all, being quick to help and like justice isn't like a timely rain. Given the need for mana stones among cultivators, even if Feng Jianxian had five million mana stones, it wouldn't be enough to lend out.
"Look, under the bright moonlight, the properties of the Western External Division of the Yuehua Sect, where all are Yuehua Sect cultivators. Wang Yulou, you can pick freely in a while. I've invited you today!"
On the flying vehicle, Feng Jianxian pointed to the beautiful gate tower of 'Moonlight Night' with a generous gesture, indicating to Wang Yulou that he would pay for today's expenses.
Wang Yulou's corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but feel amused in his heart.
Feng Jianxian indeed has a heart of generosity. The Fengyue land of the Yuehua Sect is the top one in Wu nan, and the consumption level is much higher than the Baili Pavilion.
"Elder, you can choose as you like. Wang Yulou will refrain from selecting, as there is a companion waiting at home."
Even when he went to the Baili Pavilion at first, it was just to get free spirit tea, not that he genuinely liked going there.
Wang Yulou is not a pervert, and besides, he is on the verge of marrying his fourth cultivation partner. His four cars are all top-of-the-line luxury vehicles. There is no need to take public transportation.
"Ha ha, very well. Then let's just enjoy the performances and listen to the guqin today."
The two of them got off the car, and Feng Jianxian instructed the male disciple of the outer gate of the Yuehua Sect with "four mares," and the Black Dragon Horse immediately became joyful.
"Old Feng, if there are four horses again next time, I will also call my brother to be your horse!"
The giant spirit beast Black Dragon Horse excitedly said.
"You've said it seven times, but I haven't seen you really call it over. Shut up!"
After kicking the Black Dragon Horse's butt, Feng Jianxian turned to look at Wang Yulou.
"You don't know, Wang Yulou. We come to the Moonlight Night to exchange with the female cultivators of Yuehua Sect, and of course, some male cultivators like to exchange with the male disciples of Yuehua Sect."
In short, this kind of exchange is mutually beneficial, and for the cultivators of Yuehua Sect, it is a process of cultivation.
"You have communicated with them, and they thank you instead. So"
Wang Yulou firmly declined again.
"My spouse is waiting at home, Elder Feng can choose as he wishes."
Feng Jianxian raised his thumb and said.
"Good! I, Feng, just enjoy your unwavering fellowship. Let's go in and talk."
Stepping into the Moonlight Night, Wang Yulou felt a sudden darkness in his eyes.
The dim environment does not necessarily mean chaos. In fact, the darkness of Moonlight Night gives people a sense of tranquility.
The Fengyue land should have worldly air, but Moonlight Night, from its interior decoration to the atmosphere it creates, is meticulously designed. As a result, it is far from just a ordinary Fengyue land - it is luxurious!
Why wouldn't it be luxurious? The female immortals and male rabbits here are all outer gate disciples of the Yuehua Sect. These outer gate disciples need to perform well in the Moonlight Nights across various places to be promoted to the inner gate.
It seems quite strict, even after joining the Yuehua Sect, one still needs to perform well in the Fengyue land. However, the Yuehua Sect does not discriminate against disciples based on their background or cultivation, so there are many people who are willing to join.
"Sir~You have arrived, and this young gentleman too. Please come to the upper floor's elegant suite. Ladies, come."
Upon seeing Feng Jianxian, the familiar guest, the Moonlight Night's Yuehua Sect official hurried forward to greet him.
The female cultivator's robe looked very humble, and she walked with a trembling gait. As an experienced older disciple of the Yuehua Sect, her voice had a charming tone to it, which caused Feng Jianxian's sword Qi to directly protrude from his waist.
Wang Yulou blinked his eyes, confirmed that he didn't make a mistake, and inwardly cursed himself as a moron for even thinking about becoming friends with such an idiot.
As he was contemplating how to find a reason to leave, Feng Jianxian said with a wry smile.
"Yulou, I practice the childhood sword technique, which you don't understand. I came to the Moonlight Night only to enjoy that feeling, and it has nothing to do with affairs of men and women."
Wang Yulou was immediately solemn and respectful.
Alright, alright, he comes to Moonlight Night every day, but he practices the Children's Sword Technique. Despite having become a senior foundation cultivator, he has not yet broken through his bottleneck.
Divine light emerges from the Western Sea as a Daoist Sage, Zhou Fujiu half-dying body rushes to the front lines, both are very powerful.
Feng Jianxian has been pouring golden nectar for two hundred years, and he still returns as a virgin. That's not simple either.
The vastness of the cultivating world has countless talents, but people like Feng Jianxian who are distinctive and unique are like a rare gem.
"The high realm of Master Feng is far beyond what Wang Yulou can reach."
Feng Jianxian patted Wang Yulou on the shoulder, laughed heartily, and waved at the female disciples of Yuehua Sect with a gesture.
"Ha ha, you all should disperse. Sir Wang, I will only listen to the guqin today. Please have Huadi come over."
By the way, change today's spirit wine to the seventh-grade LiuhuaJingjiu, and pour me two jugs first!"
"Master Feng, this..."
"Alright, Wang Yulou, trust me. I can afford these spirit wines."
The two of them went up to the private room, and the servant of Moonlight Night came to arrange tea, light dishes, and spirit fruits.
Wang Yulou looked around and was surprised to see so many seventh-grade spirit fruits, and even the light dishes were made of eighth-grade spirit materials.
"Moonlight Night only sells wine, and the corresponding grade of Yuehua wine is matched with the different grades of spirit food."
The seventh-grade LiuhuaJingjiu is deliciously good, and these seventh-grade spirit foods are also incredibly tasty."
Seeing Wang Yulou not understand, Feng Jianxian kindly explained it to him, and then said with a sense of nostalgia.
"Yulou, I'm just kidding, but Uncle Feng, that Qiu Lianpu's heart is really evil."
Yesterday, you did save my life — that's not a joke.
Great gratitude doesn't have to be thanked, it's all in the wine. Let's drink well today!"
Wang Yulou felt somewhat helpless in his heart. He came to Feng Jianxian for some business, but unexpectedly Feng Jianxian invited him to Moonlight Night for a drink. What is this?
"Old Feng, you're no good! You serve me the eighth-grade YueluJingjiu when you invite me to drink, but you serve others the seventh-grade LiuhuaJingjiu. What's wrong with me, a tiger from the Western Sea?"
The door of the elegant room was pushed open, but it was not Huai Die who was summoned by Feng Jianxian. Instead, a sturdy, rotund man wearing the magical law robe of the municipal enforcement hall walked in, and he was carrying a female cultivator of Yuehua Sect.
Feng Jianxian falls under the category of gracefully youthful and wind-swept, although his hair is half-white, his appearance is youthful and handsome. With a golden chariot and a giant spirit beast Black Dragon Horse, he embodies the image of an old man with a young heart from a noble family.
In contrast, this sturdy, rotund man who seems to be a law enforcement disciple of the Sub-city Law Enforcement Hall is different. He looks like a fat tiger that has become enlightened, and is as black and fat as a ripe watermelon. Although he is only slightly inferior to the three-hundred-pound Hongmei in terms of weight, his appearance is somewhat awe-inspiring. The magical law robe of the Sub-city Law Enforcement Hall looks like a piece of bedsheets when he wears it.
However, this sturdy, rotund man who claims to be a tiger from the Western Sea has also reached the foundation cultivation level, which makes him Wang Yulou's senior.
Therefore, upon his entry, Wang Yulou quickly stood up — the Sub-city Law Enforcement Hall, a direct line of the Divine Light Immortal.
Feng Jianxian restrained Wang Yulou, pressing him back into his seat and directly spewed the West Sea Tiger.
"Fat Tiger, yesterday, Wang Yulou saved my life, so of course he can drink the seventh-grade LiuhuaJingjiu."
But you, were you about to go and pick the lock of some widow's door again.
I've been waiting for you for a while. Qiu was almost dragging me to be charged with a crime, and you fucking still didn't come.
The fool Qiu Lianpu just started his job and gave me an opportunity. If you could go, it would be nice to directly kill him."
Wang Yulou's face was filled with smiles, but his heart was filled with some thoughts.
West Sea Tiger, a member of the Sub-city Law Enforcement Hall, a disciple under the Divine Light Gate.
Qiu Lianpu, a direct disciple of the Heavenly Alliance, and the son of Qiu Zhen family, under the cultivation of Green Sprout Immortal.
West Sea is quite interesting.
"Go to hell, it's you who's trying to knock on a widow's door. I don't know which little doglet started this rumor."
"I'm now assigned to the South City Expansion Office by Second Elder. The affairs in the South City are chaotic, and I have no time to care about you."
You, Feng Jianxian, love to act the hero and don't even look at how big your face is.
Well, this young man, what background does he come from?"
West Sea Tiger sat down on the side of the two, and the female cultivator he brought was placed beside him. The female cultivator's figure was small, and next to the stout West Sea Tiger, she looked like a little toy.
Seeing West Sea Tiger ask about Wang Yulou, Feng Jianxian introduced.
"Yulou is a disciple of the Drip Cave, and he helps his family with some things for Master Manshan. Yesterday, he wore the true cultivation robe of his family's patriarch and saved my life."
West Sea Tiger's eyebrows furrowed, and he looked at Wang Yulou. Wang Yulou felt a huge pressure instantly, as if a fierce tiger was staring at him.
Feng Jianxian wanted to speak in confusion, but suddenly, West Sea Tiger's dark face stretched into a smile.
"Hey, Old Feng, you don't know. He is different from us. He has a good cultivation partner."
Wang Yulou was surprised, what does that mean?
Feng Disha also looked at Wang Yulou. He knew that Wang Yulou was married to Lin Ying, but how did West Sea Tiger know that?
Thinking of this, he placed his hand on the sword, Wang Yulou is a junior disciple of the Drip Cave, and the one who saved his life.
If West Sea Tiger dares
Even if it means risking my life, I would kill this scoundrel!
"Yesterday, I was with Second Elder in exploring the geomancy of the South City. Qingfeng Elder transmitted to Second Elder that the daughter of Wraith Dragon Immortal's family was going to marry a man named Wang Yulou, and invited Second Elder and him to watch the ceremony."
"We even guessed that this was the first wave of some kind after Wraith Dragon Immortal took office, but we didn't expect to meet the main person today. Yulou, are you that Wang Yulou?"
"The first wave of something after Wraith Dragon Immortal took office."
West Sea Tiger is capable of speaking, and for Zhou Fuhua, he has respect, but not much.
Wraith Dragon Immortal has called out to him, which counts as respect, but the implications in his words are indeed difficult to say whether they are good or bad.
Just as Wang Yulou was unsure how to answer, a silver bell-like clear sound came from outside the room.
"Wind Master~ Can I come in, Huadi?"
The appearance of Miss Huai Die broke the embarrassment for Wang Yulou, and Feng Jianxian spoke with a smile.
"Just stand outside and play, I'm afraid I'll forget the important thing today if I see you, hahaha."
"Wind Master always bullies Huadi~"
Melodious guqin music began to play, and Wang Yulou responded with a smile to the question just asked by West Sea Tiger.
"True to your guess, Uncle Sea Tiger. Yulou is indeed the Daoist partner of the Zhou family's daughter and we may get married soon."
Wang Yulou is testing the waters. Even though he has a guess, he is not good at asking directly.
West Sea Tiger was amused by Wang Yulou's address.
"Hahaha, my surname is West Sea, and we all share the same surname. Don't call me 'Sea Tiger,' it sounds too strange."
Feng Jianxian also laughed and nodded at Wang Yulou.
"The Divine Light Immortal opened the Shanshui Welfare Hall in Xihai City, took in orphaned children who lost their parents, raised them until they were of a suitable age, and then conferred the surname 'West Sea' upon those with outstanding spiritual roots."
Sea Tiger younger brother, hahaha, that made me laugh so hard.
His surname is West Sea and his name is Tiger, so you should call him Brother Tiger."
Feng Jianxian calling West Sea Tiger "Fat Tiger" is because of their good relationship, but Wang Yulou dared not call West Sea Tiger "Tiger Brother." This person is a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"Uncle Sea Tiger, you didn't mind my impoliteness. I understand now. Please don't be angry." Wang Yulou pretending to be clueless and showing off good manners.
The stout West Sea Tiger pursed his lips and looked at Feng Jianxian, saying.
"I said that these cultivators in the Heavenly Alliance don't understand Xihai. Elder, you see, they call me all sorts of nicknames with such cheerfulness."
"Wang Yulou, in Xihai, we don't distinguish between cultivation and friendship. As your little brother, calling me 'Brother Tiger' is very appropriate. But if you call me 'Elder,' I won't like it."
Wang Yulou could not distinguish true from false.
If someone takes West Sea Tiger's straightforwardness at face value, that person is the ultimate great dummy.
Wang Yulou could not forget the reminder from Jing Yi Elder - the people of Xihai are full of tricks!
In a brief moment of contemplation, he smoothly smiled, raised his wine cup, looked at West Sea Tiger, and spoke out loud.
"Brother Tiger, it's me, Wang Yulou, who doesn't know the rules. Have a cup of penal wine, have a cup of penal wine."
On the side, Feng Jianxian started cursing at West Sea Tiger.
"Fat Tiger, you've forgotten about the time I saved your life. Back then, you called me 'enpublic,' but now you're just calling me 'wind old brother,' you're really not a gentleman."
West Sea Tiger glanced at Feng Jianxian and sniffed as he raised his cup and touched it to Wang Yulou's.
"Old Feng, neither of us owes each other anything."
As for Wang Yulou, how does the young lady of the Zhou family look? Is she beautiful or not?"
Is Zhou Yingxi beautiful or not?
After drinking the whole cup, Wang Yulou put down the cup and tried hard to remember Zhou Yingxi's appearance. In the end, he replied with a bitter smile.
"Huigod, to be honest, I haven't seen her look like that yet."
Then how can you say you haven't seen her? She always wears a veil.
Although Wang Yulou has seen her from both sides, he hasn't seen her face clearly.
Perhaps Zhou Yingxi has a pig's nose, which is why she wears a veil all the time — who knows.
"Hahaha, Yulou, you should take a good look on the night of your wedding."
Feng Jianxian was amused by Wang Yulou's words.
"Hah, if I had to say something, you should not marry a woman from a big family. They are likely to have a big temper, get into all sorts of trouble, and when they cause trouble, they have their patriarch to back them up."
Yulou, since you're marrying a woman from the Zhou family, your days ahead might not be easy. But it might not be hard for too long, hahaha.
Wang Yulou understands what West Sea Tiger is saying, but what surprises him even more is the indifference of the Divine Light Purity to Zhou Fuhua and others.
West Sea Tiger is a member of the Divine Light Immortal's power left in Xihai, and his certain attitudes are actually very interesting.
Combining the information obtained from Gu Qilang, Master sent three thousand disciples into Xihai.
Plus, Wraith Dragon Immortal Zhou Fuhua and Sea King Immortal Li Haiping, two Realms of Light cultivators, were respectively appointed as the Treasured Disciple Realm and the Guardian Realm in the West Sea Tri-Realms.
The turbulent clouds and winds in the sky above Xihai seem to be able to become the arm aid that helps me break the shackles?
"That's going too far, Immortal Wraith Dragon has eternal life, and only then can Yulou progress smoothly. You also have to drink a cup of penal wine."
West Sea Tiger also realized that he said something wrong, and he laughed and poured another cup of Streaming Jade Liquor.
Penalty streaming jade liquor, the acceptance is guaranteed, after all, Feng Jianxian will pay the bill.
"Just that, Wang Yulou, when are you two getting married?"
"Master Wraith Dragon did not give me, this idle person, an invitation, but as the groom, you can invite me over."
"I'm powerful, but I can bring all the disciples from the West Court of Drip Cave, Xihai, to boost your strength!"
Feng Jianxian's suggestion was a bit uncertain, but Wang Yulou actually agreed to it.
Drip Cave's Xihai West Court is a great thing.
Divine Light Immortal has taken a lot of calves with the surname Xihai, which is a good example for Wang Yulou.
Having power under your command is essential to stand firm and securely.
Compared to the vast Xihai, Drip Cave may be a bit modest, but things always come step by step.
