Chapter 100: Sword Heart Awakens [Thanks to the Grandmaster Reward from 月灵]_3
Experience tales at empire
Just as Elder Ming had planned to close the Book Storage Pavilion, the Sect Leader and other Divinity Transformation cultivators came over directly.
Lu Yi was not at all surprised by this. He smiled and said, "Sect Leader, you should ask Elder Ming yourself."
Hearing this, Wu Qingfeng looked at Lu Yi with some confusion, "I always feel like you know something, kid?"
However, he didn't think too much about it and entered the Book Storage Pavilion with Elder Chuyun and a few others.
Lu Yi shook his head and turned to leave.
Although he had reluctantly given up so much Centennial Spirit Marrow, it would definitely be a lie to say he wasn't distressed.
Fortunately, he still had a lot of Myriad Spirit Dew, which should be enough for him to cultivate to the Golden Core Realm. Afterwards, he planned to spar with a few geniuses like Senior Brother Xie Tianming and Senior Brother Nangong Moyu to gain cultivation resources. That shouldn't be a problem.
Not long after Lu Yi left the Book Storage Pavilion, he felt a powerful aura emanating from inside. Lu Yi turned around and saw several Divinity Transformation cultivators rising into the air, their aura fluctuating, clearly feeling excited.
It must be that the Sect Leader had received the news. Was Elder Ming planning to seclude himself to break through to the Cave Void Realm?
If Elder Ming were truly to break through to the Cave Void Realm, it would be a tremendous boon for the entire White Cloud Sect. A sect that housed a Cave Void Realm cultivator would see its influence rise significantly.
At the very least, the Blood Spirit Sect and the Heavenly Snake Sect definitely wouldn't dare to bare their fangs at White Cloud Sect.
Lu Yi returned to his Cave Mansion and continued his cultivation.
Time passed peacefully, and after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Eleventh Layer, his cultivation speed had slowed down considerably.
Over a year later, Lu Yi finally broke through to the Foundation Establishment Twelfth Layer.
In contrast, because Donggong Ming Yue was at the Qi Cultivation Thirteenth Layer of Foundation Establishment, her foundation was incredibly solid. She broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm and in just over a year, leaped across three minor levels to reach the Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer. Her cultivation speed was extremely fast, which pleased her greatly.
Lu Yi released a task and found that the task reward hadn't changed much, just a few more drops of Myriad Spirit Dew. It was marginally better than nothing, and he could only hope she would continue to make progress and break through to the Golden Core Realm soon.
The reward for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Twelfth Layer was three Tao Spirit Pearls. The reward was equally generous, and Lu Yi happily accepted it. He then continued his cultivation.
Occasionally, Lu Yi would dine with Senior Sister Liu Ningshuang and Junior Sister Donggong Ming Yue to strengthen their camaraderie.
One day, Jiang Fan and his companions returned from their journey outside and came to mooch food and drinks from Lu Yi.
Outside the Cave Mansion, the four of them ate barbecued meat and drank wine while discussing the outside world.
Bai Yulong smiled and said, "Junior Brother Lu, it's really exciting out there! Under the joint effort of the Three Sects, we completely suppressed Blood Spirit Sect and Heavenly Snake Sect. Now, as our disciples chase them down, we hardly need to put in any effort to reap rewards; it's like picking up money!"
After biting a piece of barbecue, Tie Man said a bit unclearly, "Xiaobai is right. Recently, the three of us have earned quite a bit. It's just a pity that you, Junior Brother Lu, can't go out."
"Hehe, not just earning resources. You don't know, but recently when we were working together with the disciples of Ten Thousand Flowers Sect, I must say, the female cultivators of Ten Thousand Flowers Sect are really... tsk tsk," Bai Yulong said with a lewd smile.
Jiang Fan mercilessly exposed him, "Too bad you can only look. Every time they talk to you, they're asking about Junior Brother Lu."
Bai Yulong's smile froze, then he defiantly said, "What do you know? With communication, the emotions can gradually build. Ever heard of fondness forming over time?"
Tie Man commented, "Speaking of which, Junior Brother Lu is really the envy of everyone. Even though he's not there, whenever we act together with the disciples of Ten Thousand Flowers Sect, as soon as they know we are close to Junior Brother Lu, they always ask about his matters."
Bai Yulong looked gloomy and despondent, "Junior Brother Lu really leaves no room for us."
Lu Yi looked innocent, "What does this have to do with me?"
Tie Man spoke again, "A while back, the Three Sects teamed up and took down a spirit stone mine from Blood Spirit Sect. The harvest was quite significant."
Bai Yulong exclaimed, "I heard that deep in the spirit stone mine there might be some Spirit Milk. The Three Sects made a lot this time."
Jiang Fan sipped some Jade Wine, shook his head lightly, and chuckled, "Junior Brother Lu had previously given us some Centennial Spirit Marrow. Ordinary sect cultivators don't have as good conditions as we do."
Bai Yulong and Tie Man nodded repeatedly, toasting to Lu Yi.
Lu Yi listened to the three of them discuss various news, gaining quite an understanding of the outside situation.
Currently, the Blood Spirit Sect and the Heavenly Snake Sect were in a downturn. Both sects had lost many disciples, and even more than ten Nascent Soul Elders had perished. This battle could be said to have caused both sects severe injuries.
However, that was all. As long as the sects remained, they would eventually recover, perhaps closing off their mountains for some time.
With the protection of the sect array, it was difficult for a sect to fall under normal circumstances.
During this period, Lu Yi also did not give up on Formation cultivation. He thought of finding an opportunity in the future to break the sect arrays of the Blood Spirit Sect and the Heavenly Snake Sect, thoroughly incapacitating them.
Additionally, what puzzled Lu Yi was that since he had defeated Zhuge Shou, he had been waiting for other prodigies to challenge him. So much time had passed, and yet no other prodigies had come forward, which disappointed Lu Yi.
Afterward, he asked Jiang Fan and the others, and found that there was little news circulating outside about Lu Yi's defeat of Zhuge Shou.
Even in Qingzhou, let alone other regions.
Lu Yi soon realized that since Zhuge Shou had returned in such disgrace, Mingling Valley certainly wouldn't widely publicize such an embarrassing event. Although disciples within White Cloud Sect might discuss it, it wouldn't spread to other regions so quickly.
After understanding this, a realization dawned on Lu Yi. It seemed he would have to wait a while longer for other geniuses to come forward and challenge him.
"By the way, these days, with the Three Sects united and their relationship closer than before, it seems they are planning to organize an exchange meeting at Ten Thousand Flowers Sect. Junior Brother Lu, are you going?" Jiang Fan suddenly recalled and asked Lu Yi.
Bai Yulong also thought of this and eagerly said, "Junior Brother Lu, you have to think carefully. That's going to Ten Thousand Flowers Sect! If you go there, it would be absolute chaos!"
