"Damn you, He Xiang, dare to trick !"
Elder Wang was furious. Suddenly a banana leaf-shaped magical artifact appeared beneath his feet, and with a ’whish,’ he left the spot.
Within monts, he flew to the outside of He Xiang’s cave mansion.
"He Xiang, this brat killed my grandson, you truly want to take him as your disciple and be against ?" Elder Wang’s entire body surged with spiritual essence, his robe fluttering.
His whole person was bathed in a rich gray halo, and the powerful aura of Foundation Establishnt level suddenly swept towards the two opposite him!
"I can take anyone I want as a disciple, it’s none of your damn business!" He Xiang retorted disdainfully, "Killed your grandson, do you have evidence for your bullshit accusation?"
After speaking, a more formidable aura surged from He Xiang’s body, clashing fiercely against the opponent’s aura.
’Boom!’
With the clash of auras, a thunderous sound erupted.
Between the two Foundation Establishnt cultivators, an invisible magnetic field collided violently, large amounts of fine dust suspended in midair.
A leaf fell from high above, and when it reached the magnetic field, it exploded with a ’pop,’ finally turning into countless tiny fragnts floating around.
"What’s happening?"
"Why are these two old fellows about to fight?"
"Hey, Wendao Peak has not been this lively in a long ti."
Lou Yi could feel the sudden presence of many strong figures around them, all watching Elder Wang and Master He confront with curiosity.
So even sat leisurely on flying grass mats, snacking on sunflower seeds.
"He Xiang, the enmity of killing a grandson is irreconcilable, you better think carefully if it’s worth opposing for a lower-grade spirit root..."
"Enough of your nonsense! Either fight or don’t! If you don’t dare, stop with the sneaky maneuvers, or I’ll crush them every ti I see them!" He Xiang impatiently interrupted Elder Wang.
"You!!" Elder Wang’s expression turned completely cold.
More than ten breaths later, he glared fiercely at Lou Yi, his eyes filled with ferocious killing intent, then turned around to leave without further word to He Xiang.
"That coward, he only bullies you people." He Xiang scoffed.
Then, with a wave of his sleeves, a gray-white talisman appeared in Lou Yi’s hand.
"This is a Breath Talisman. Within a hundred miles, if you infuse spiritual power, I can swiftly arrive." Unable to always accompany Lou Yi, He Xiang bestowed this protective treasure upon him.
"Thank you, Master!" Lou Yi exclaid joyfully.
This was indeed a proper protective talisman.
With it, at least within a hundred miles of the sect, he had a significant safeguard for his safety.
And just now, Master He had destroyed Elder Wang’s spirit pet.
From now on within the sect, Elder Wang would not dare to be so wanton, and Lou Yi finally regained his freedom of action; he could continue exterminating bugs and accumulating energy.
It had been a long ti since he visited the fields of Zone Wujiu, and Lou Yi promptly headed there.
He found the spirit fields had been completely ravaged by bugs, and could not expect a harvest of spirit rice for the next half year.
But Lou Yi didn’t care too much.
With his ten fingers flicking lightly, beams of purple-red light shot out, accurately shooting down the large number of insects before him one by one.
Continuous ’puff puff puff’ sounds rang out, like rain, and a thick layer of insect corpses piled up across the fields.
anwhile, the energy count that had long since been stagnant started soaring rapidly.
6450... 6892... 7233... 8911...
Ultimately, it increased by over two thousand points, compensating for most of his losses during this period.
Of course, the boom period was short-lived; once the insect numbers stabilized, Lou Yi’s daily energy acquisition level would go back to around a hundred points.
Leaving Zone Wujiu’s fields, Lou Yi returned to his cave mansion and began packing up to move to Wendao Peak.
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Lou, on your promotion to the inner sect and successfully becoming a disciple!" At the peak of Disciple Peak, a group of fellow Qi Cultivation Middle Stage disciples ca over to congratulate Lou Yi, their eyes filled with deep envy.
Breaking through to the Qi Cultivation Middle Stage ant becoming an inner sect disciple of Corpse-Driving Sect, qualifying to beco a disciple, but not every disciple could successfully be accepted as one.
Foundation Establishnt Elders were quite selective when choosing disciples, often preferring none to choosing diocre ones.
"Lou Yi, when you reach Foundation Establishnt, don’t forget about .
If by then no elder accepts , I’ll go to your cave mansion as a gatekeeper." The chubby Dai Xiang was Lou Yi’s closest male friend in Corpse-Driving Sect, apart from Rong Xuejian.
Though possessing a lower-grade spirit root close to middle grade, combined with exceptional comprehension, his cultivation speed was not slow; he was now at Qi Cultivation Third Level, not far from breaking through to the middle stage.
Lou Yi laughed at the chubby one’s antics, "Wouldn’t need that, a gatekeeper is unworthy; at least a steward."
After bidding farewell to these sa disciples.
Lou Yi headed to Na Pavilion to verify his cultivation level, obtaining a light blue Daoist robe for inner sect disciples, higher quality boots, and exchanged his disciple token...
He Xiang’s cave mansion was comparable to an official’s residence from the Mortal World, bathed in misty white aura, with even more exquisite decorations.
The ground, paved with smooth white stones, was spotless, and the wooden materials used in the house were all made from the finest sandalwood, emanating a natural fragrance constantly.
The room had mat cushions engraved with arrays, making it easier to sense spiritual qi when seated, thereby improving cultivation speed.
The courtyard was abundant with strange flowers and grasses, colorful butterflies fluttered, and cranes circled...
He Xiang arranged a small courtyard for Lou Yi inside.
Four tall and spacious houses surrounded, with carved windows and sweeping eaves, among them three doors were tightly shut, only one was open, and inside an old servant with gray hair was cleaning.
"You will stay here." He Xiang pointed at the room being cleaned.
"Master, do the other three rooms have occupants?" Lou Yi asked curiously.
"They are my previous disciples; the eldest is no more, the second went ho to visit family, and the third is out doing missions; you are the fourth."
Lou Yi noticed a slight sadness on He Xiang’s face when ntioning the eldest.
’Seems like the eldest is truly gone.’ Lou Yi thought to himself.
"If you have questions, co to the backyard and find ." Leaving this sentence, He Xiang departed.
On the second day after Lou Yi moved into the cave mansion, Bi Yaoyao paid a visit and brought good news.
"I had soone check in He City, and mid-next month, there’s indeed an auction happening, to be conducted by Green Dragon Manor in He City.
The force behind Green Dragon Manor is the Gu family, a cultivation family in He City deeply connected to our sect.
The founder of their family was once a Foundation Establishnt Elder of our sect, who later returned to He City when old, greatly developing the family, and over the following millennia, the Gu family produced more than one Foundation Establishnt..."
Lou Yi had known that besides the largest force Corpse-Driving Sect, the Zhao Kingdom also had many cultivation families scattered around, many founded by returning elders from Corpse-Driving Sect.
Of course, they couldn’t compare to large families like the Li Family from the East Sea, self-contained and independent.
In Zhao Kingdom, if a small cultivation family produced a Foundation Establishnt in several generations, that was already a blessing.
The East Sea’s Li Family had Golden Core Masters, making their power not too inferior to large sects like Corpse-Driving Sect or Red Sun Sect.
"An incomplete internal list for the auction has been leaked in advance, and it indeed includes Wind Riding Fruit.
Wind Riding Fruit, a wind elent heavenly material and earthly treasure, used by wind elent cultivators, it accelerates the comprehension of spells, enhancing cultivation speed... Even if other cultivators consu it, it has the effect of strengthening the body, making it a rare treasure among heavenly materials and earthly treasures," Bi Yaoyao said.
"Is there a possibility the list was fabricated?" Lou Yi asked.
"Unlikely. This auction by Green Dragon Manor is a cornerstone for the Gu family, if the auction items don’t match the list, their reputation will be compromised...
However, even if the list is genuine, it doesn’t rule out the possibility of a secret collusion between Gu family and Elder Wang."
"As long as it’s real." Lou Yi smiled.
His Swift Talent always brought a jump in strength with each enhancent; he intended to get the Wind Riding Fruit.
Of course, it should be obtained under the premise of ensuring his safety.
"What about Dragon Saliva Grass?"
"Dragon Saliva Grass is located at the Hundred Herbs Valley on the Zhao Kingdom border, thousands of miles away from us, currently uncertain about its authenticity," Bi Yaoyao said, "Verification will take so ti."
"Oh, and I’ve bought the auxiliary corpses you needed, ten corpses in total." Bi Yaoyao shook the corpse storage bag in her hand, her expression playful.
Good news kept coming one after another, and Lou Yi was elated.
With the auxiliary corpses, he could attempt to activate the array plate obtained from Li Family’s patriarch, likely becoming a major trump card!
