Clearly, it was an incredibly alluring scene, but a trace of disgust erged in Yunqing Zhenren’s heart.
He had no interest in any female cultivators other than his master.
Especially those who deliberately flaunt themselves in front of him; he only felt utmost annoyance.
Although Yunqing Zhenren felt so aversion towards Xiangyu Master, there wasn’t the slightest trace of it on his face. On the contrary, he showed a gentle smile:
"Thank you, Xiangyu Master, this is your compensation."
With a flick of his finger, Yunqing Zhenren sent a Jade Bottle shooting towards Xiangyu Master.
The bottle contained a precious third-grade Pill, "Yuan Condensing Powder," which had remarkable effects on enhancing Mana cultivation. Even Golden Core cultivators in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons found it hard to obtain.
"Thank you, Yunqing Zhenren!"
Xiangyu Master’s eyes lit up, and with a graceful reach, she firmly grasped it.
She naturally understood the preciousness of this bottle of Pill.
"Hmm."
Yunqing Zhenren nodded slightly and then said blandly, "Xiangyu Master has worked hard today, please go back and rest first."
This was undoubtedly a dismissal.
A trace of disappointnt flashed in Xiangyu Master’s eyes, but she knew it wasn’t appropriate to linger.
She tidied up her sleeves, quickly suppressing her charming deanor and returning to a normal expression.
"I shall take my leave."
With that, she summoned an Escape Light and soon disappeared outside the cave mansion.
Gazing at Xiangyu Master’s gradually distant silhouette, Yunqing Zhenren slightly narrowed his eyes, and his thoughts naturally turned to Xu Ping.
From the other party’s performance, he was more than ninety percent certain it was simply disinterest in the matter of Dao companions.
However, even with a one in ten thousand chance, he still couldn’t be at ease.
Because in his heart, the master True Monarch Lan Ling could only be his alone!!
Over the years, his feelings for the master had long surpassed normal master-disciple sentints, becoming more complex and profound.
He wouldn’t allow anyone to approach the master, nor permit anyone to receive more favor than him from the master.
However, Yunqing Zhenren didn’t act recklessly.
After all, the other party had deep strength and a resolute Dao heart; he feared he wasn’t their match.
Moreover, ordinary disciples in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons might not know, but he was aware that the other party was now also highly regarded by the master.
So, he dared not go too far!
"The priority now is... breaking through to Nascent Soul!" A trace of determination flashed in Yunqing Zhenren’s eyes.
Once he becos a Nascent Soul True Monarch, not only will his power undergo drastic transformation, his status in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons will also change dramatically.
He will rise from a disciple to a True Monarch equal to his master, able to face the master in a whole new way.
More importantly, the reason the master Values Xu Ping so much is largely due to the Valley’s threat from the Red Gauze Sect.
The Valley of Ten Thousand Demons urgently needs a mighty figure to hold the fort, and Xu Ping, as an extraordinarily powerful Golden Core cultivator, naturally receives attention.
But if Yunqing Zhenren breaks through to Nascent Soul, this situation is bound to change.
The master’s attention towards Xu Ping will inevitably diminish, and Xu Ping will find it difficult to pose any threat to him.
"Begin the Heart Refinent Road!"
Yunqing Zhenren muttered to himself, his gaze growing increasingly resolute.
In the Cultivation Realm, breaking through to Nascent Soul requires not just powerful Mana and Spiritual Objects as assistance, but also an imnsely perfected state of mind.
To increase the success rate of overcoming the Heart Demon Tribulation, disciples from great clans often embark on the "Heart Refinent Road" before Nascent Soul Formation, wandering around to experience the world’s myriad phases and cultivate their body and mind, polishing their will.
This process might last several years, even a decade.
...
...
Ti flew by like a galloping horse, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.
This month, Xu Ping remained at Celestial Cyan Peak, focusing on consolidating his Divine Sense cultivation.
Finally, his Divine Sense was fully consolidated, and he was ready to formally take on missions to earn Contribution Points.
The main hall outside the cave mansion.
"Elder Yan, here is the complete list of missions in the Valley!"
Xie Lu respectfully presented a jade slip emitting a faint cyan light.
"Hmm."
Xu Ping nodded slightly, reaching out to let the jade slip fly into his palm as if it had its own spirit.
As an honorary elder of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, he naturally didn’t have to personally go to the mission hall like ordinary disciples to take missions.
This was the convenience that status brought.
Then, Xu Ping closed his eyes, focusing his mind, as a strand of Divine Sense penetrated the jade slip like a swimming dragon, beginning to carefully investigate the mission information inside.
With his current Divine Sense strength, this ticulous operation was effortless, and every task in the jade slip was clearly presented in his mind.
After browsing for a while, Xu Ping discovered that most of the tasks in the jade slip were related to the Red Sand Sect.
High Contribution Points were usually bounty hunting tasks.
It wasn’t surprising; after all, the struggle between the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons and the Red Sand Sect had never ceased.
The highest bounty was for hunting down a disciple nad Ji Kai from the Red Gauze Sect.
Success would earn a reward of one hundred and fifty thousand Contribution Points—half the amount needed for a profound Demon Core!
That enticing number nearly tempted Xu Ping, but he quickly cald down, excluding this mission from consideration.
The reason was simple: Ji Kai was not only the top Nascent Soul seed of the Red Gauze Sect, but his father was the Sect Leader, True Monarch Chixiao.
His status in the Red Gauze Sect is even more distinguished than Yunqing Zhenren’s in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
If he were to be slain, the entire Nascent Soul True Monarch population of the Red Sand Sect would likely go mad.
Unless Xu Ping lost his mind, he would never choose such a mission.
After repeated weighing and filtering, Xu Ping chose a task very suitable for him—"Hunting Dong Xiangwen."
This Dong Xiangwen is an elder of the Red Sand Sect, his cultivation reaching Golden Core Perfection.
However, due to damaged foundations and the imminent end of his lifespan, he had no hope of Nascent Soul formation.
In recent years, he has used cruel ans in the conflict between the two sects, killing several Golden Core cultivators of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, thus being rewarded with fifty thousand Contribution Points.
