Chapter 168

Golden Core Opportunity

The vastness of the Central Continent is not something ordinary people can easily imagine. Even news as shocking as the invasion of the Great Yu Zhou Tian cultivators did not stir up any waves on the vast continent. For a sect like the Shangqing Sect, whose mountain gate is located in the southeast, the ordinary disciples did not receive any news at all, only vaguely feeling that the wind and clouds of the continent had changed in recent years, and the disputes were more frequent than before. Even among the prosperous sects, they went against the peace of the past few thousand years and had a little more conquest and killing. The Nascent Soul stage could not be easily moved, but below the Nascent Soul, it was often heard that disciples had fallen, and even the Shangqing Sect, Taiwei Sect, and Qingling Sect were no exception.

There is no Jiazi in the mountain, and the years do not know the year. For a behemoth like the Shangqing Sect, there are more than a dozen Grotto-Heaven lineages in the sect, seventy-two peaks, and one hundred and sixty-eight lower courtyards. Which one does not have some romantic figures, and it is reasonable for each to lead the style for hundreds of years. Regardless of the storm of blood outside the mountain, the mountain gate is still a clear and leisurely immortal style, especially the Zixu Heaven lineage. There are few disciples in the sect. In more than two hundred years, only one disciple has come forward to handle errands, so a few people have been brought to walk outside. Since the Cold Rain Marsh incident, the disciples have returned to the mountain, the Grotto-Heaven has been closed, and only occasionally have dealings with the Jinping Yuzhen Heaven, Seven Stars Small Abode, and Changyao Baoguang Heaven. The affairs in the sect do not come to disturb, and there is a taste of not asking about world affairs and concentrating on cultivation.

"Mr. Tianlu, it's been a long time, you are polite."

On this day, in the Zhuoyue Cliff outside Zixu Heaven, the He servant usually used by Miss Ci of Zixu Heaven visited. It happened that the spirit deer favored by True Person Zixu was playing outside the cave, so he took him to see Both Both Ruan Ci. He servant didn't dare to be negligent, saluted and asked well, then took out a bamboo tube from his sleeve, handed it to Tianlu and smiled, "Some time ago, I went to the nine countries under the sect to handle affairs, and happened to pass by the vicinity of the Green Jade Bright Hall, so I went to cut some branches and leaves for Yingying, and picked a lot of clear dew. Mr. Tianlu, please use some, which is a bit of our separate courtyard's heart."

Under the Grotto-Heaven True Person, many have opened dojos and separate courtyards outside the Grotto-Heaven. Like Both Both Ruan Ci, although she is in Zixu Heaven for cultivation, the disciples and spirit pets she collected are mostly raised in Zhuoyue Cliff, so Zhuoyue Cliff can be considered a separate courtyard of Zixu Heaven. Disciples of the separate courtyard who have the opportunity to enter the Grotto-Heaven to pay homage to their elders mostly have to entertain the people near the Grotto-Heaven. Although Tianlu has not experienced the world, he also knows the truth, so he smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother He. Yingying will be very happy to hear that there is bamboo to eat. It's a pity that Miss Ci hasn't come out of seclusion yet. You are probably going to return empty-handed this time."

He servant hurriedly said, "The Lord is concentrating on cultivation, so we servants are naturally only happy. It is our heart as servants to wish from afar outside the door."

He asked again, "I don't know if True Person Lu or Miss Yu are convenient to see?"

Tianlu smiled, "Langjun Ning has always had incarnations outside, taking care of the trivial matters inside and outside the cave. Brother He has also come several times, so naturally he knows."

He servant smiled slightly, "It's better to be careful than to overstep."

Saying this, the two arrived at Both Both Ruan Ci's cave. Sure enough, the doors were locked and covered in spider webs. After Both Both Ruan Ci came out of seclusion seventy years ago, she had never come out again, still concentrating on cultivation. He servant didn't care, took out the Qiankun Bag, presented it to Tianlu, and said, "This is the income from the nine countries under the sect. I dare not hide it privately. Keeping it in Zhuoyue Cliff for too long is also afraid of attracting covetousness. Please ask Mr. Tianlu to keep it on behalf."

For more than two hundred years, True Person Wang has bestowed it from time to time, and there are gifts from other heavens outside the door. Because Both Both Ruan Ci's disciples are all in Zhuoyue Cliff, most of them are managed by Tianlu for Both Both Ruan Ci. He naturally takes the opportunity to search for rare things and fresh food for Both Both Ruan Ci, and even He servant gives spirit jade to him for safekeeping—before Both Both Ruan Ci went into seclusion, she also asked Lu Huangning to take care of the Zhuoyue Cliff lineage. Now Zixu Heaven controls one of the nine countries under the Shangqing Sect, so naturally there are many errands that can be inserted, and He servant and others can just practice in the country, and there are also secret realms and blessed lands to explore.

Over the past two hundred years, He servant, Li Ji, and others have each established a foundation in the country, and their cultivation has progressed rapidly. He servant is already at the perfection of the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment, and can try to form a Golden Core in a few decades. Li Ji also has the cultivation of the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment, which can be used outside the mountain gate. The four servants have each become Dao companions with the servants under Zixu Heaven, giving birth to children, and some children have already opened their veins to practice. Several small immortal cultivation families have begun to take shape.

Although these hundreds of people have never seen Both Both Ruan Ci, they also respect True Person Wang and True Person Ruan as masters, and rely on the prestige of the two to gain a foothold in the country. Therefore, they must offer generous offerings every ten years, almost offering 50% of the family's business income. Lu Huangning looked at the face of the junior sister and allocated fat errands to them. Even if it was 50%, the income was not small. Both Both Ruan Ci was in the cave for cultivation, but her own family background was getting richer year by year—this is also the reason why many cultivators promote their juniors. Otherwise, every step of the path of Dao requires more resources, and relying entirely on the sect's bestowal and self-searching is never enough.

He servant is careful and diligent in cultivation. For more than two hundred years, he has firmly occupied the position of the great housekeeper of Zhuoyue Cliff. Even if Lu True Person allocates errands, he coordinates them with He servant as the head. For hundreds of years, there has been no mistake. This time, visiting Both Both Ruan Ci is fake, and handing over offerings and visiting True Person Lu is real. After lingering outside the cave for a while, he resigned from Tianlu and went to True Person Lu's cave to visit. Tianlu hugged the bamboo leaves and clear dew to find the black and white flying bear.

In True Person Lu's cave, there was indeed a young child sitting, looking like only five or six years old, and only had the cultivation of the early stage of Foundation Establishment. He servant didn't dare to be negligent at all. As soon as he entered, he performed a great ceremony and called True Person. The child smiled, "Get up and sit down to talk. There is no one here today, so I can chat with you for a few words."

He has always been gentle, but He servant didn't dare to be presumptuous because of this. He reported the major events in the country over the past few decades to True Person Lu. Although True Person Lu might have learned from other channels, He servant still said it carefully, used several cups of tea, and finished speaking. True Person Lu also listened carefully, nodded and smiled, "It's hard for you. There are many grievances in it, and I already know it. Over the years, we have all been in seclusion. Inside and outside the mountain gate, many people want to know the news of the Sword Envoy, and it is becoming more and more urgent. It is inevitable that some means will be used in front of you. You should try your best to deal with it. In the end, it is best if things can be settled in your hands. You will get more rewards, but don't force it, so as not to delay Junior Sister Ci's cultivation."

Over the past few decades, He servant has indeed felt that it is becoming more and more difficult to handle. The progress of many things is not as smooth as usual. There are several joints, if it weren't for his proper handling, making big things small, I'm afraid it would cause right and wrong, and he had to ask Zixu Heaven for help. Hearing True Person Lu say this, he realized that there were such stories, and hurriedly responded solemnly, "It will definitely not delay the Lord's cultivation."

He asked carefully, "The last time I came, the one I visited was a Golden Core incarnation. Is he sent today?"

True Person Lu smiled, "Some time ago, Fengyu was naughty outside and provoked some trouble. I went to deal with this matter, and that incarnation was damaged in it."

He said it plainly, but how could He servant not know that Qin Fengyu was going out to handle errands for the sect? After a cultivator forms a Golden Core, it is not just a matter of handling an errand for the sect, but there is no fixed amount, and it is based on the sect's distribution, and there are also bestowals each time. Qin Fengyu is the Nine Turns of Golden Core, but He servant knows that the sect has distributed tasks twice, and this time even True Person Lu damaged his incarnation in it, which shows the danger. Hearing this, he also frowned and worried, "It seems that the world is big, but it is only a pure land in the sect and the nine countries. There are disputes everywhere outside the mountain gate, and it is difficult to be clean."

True Person Lu said, "The rest are fine. In fact, the things you know are just ordinary. Now the most important thing in the Central Continent is that the Taiwei Sect intends to conquer the Wugou Sect. Other disputes are just waves of support in this general trend. Two prosperous sects play chess, and the whole body is affected by one hair in the momentum field. We are just affected by the remaining waves. It just depends on how this conquest will end."

Whether it is the Taiwei Sect or the Wugou Sect, they are extremely distant names to He servant, but he still listened carefully, just because the truth said by True Person Lu, He servant also believes in it very much. He thought of these changes in the wind and clouds, and after Both Both Ruan Ci came out of the mountain, only he could report it in detail. The other people, whether it is the spirit cat or the spirit deer, are simple in thought, and I am afraid they have no such intention.

Probably thinking of this, Lu Huangning also looked at He servant differently. Every time he came to visit, he said some big trends outside the mountain to him, and asked about Both Both Ruan Ci's friends. He servant reported, "Young Master Li of the Jin Bo Sect has formed a Golden Core for more than a hundred years. Previously, he sent many rare treasures, saying that several other friends have also formed a Golden Core one after another. Now only Miss Ci is still in seclusion. Just wait for her to come out of seclusion and meet again."

Lu Huangning couldn't help but nod slightly and sighed, "It is hard for the friends around Junior Sister Ci, who are also people who gather fortune, and none of them have fallen on the road of forming a Golden Core."

As for how many turns of Golden Core Li Pingyan is, these are personal privacy. Unless it is the Nine Turns of Golden Core, no one will publicize it. Lu Huangning will not ask so carefully, and because of this, he talked about the cultivation progress of the disciples in the sect and even the middle-way fall, saying, "At this time, it is not yet dead too much. If Shangqing also participates in the war, it is hard to say. Under the entanglement of causality, I am afraid that many young disciples will be damaged in it."

Saying this, he was very sighing, and He servant couldn't help but be a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask more.

The two were talking happily, True Person Lu suddenly moved, turned his head to look into the distance, He servant took a breath later to sense the momentum fluctuation in the Grotto-Heaven, and couldn't help but move, "This is..."

True Person Lu said, "Junior Sister Ci has already cultivated the nine-layer Dao foundation, and the fortune sensing is fluctuating in the dark, and the momentum field is naturally fluctuating. Three hundred years of cultivation and the nine-layer Foundation Establishment is perfect. He servant, being able to follow such a master, you can be considered to have some fortune."

He showed a kind smile, waved the whisk, and said, "Go quickly. I think Junior Sister Ci will come out of seclusion in a few days to find that Golden Core opportunity. If you don't see it this time, I really don't know when you will see the master again."

He servant heard this and felt it was true. He hurriedly resigned and left, returning to Both Both Ruan Ci's cave, waiting for several days, but there was no movement in the cave. He thought Both Both Ruan Ci was going to consolidate her cultivation slightly, so he endured his temper and waited for several months. Both Both Ruan Ci never came out of seclusion. He servant couldn't help but worry, and went to ask True Person Lu again. True Person Lu was also surprised when he heard this, and muttered to himself, "Could it be that she is going to strike at one go, to impact that..."

He didn't say any more, closed his eyes and moved his lips, as if praying for something. After a while, he opened his eyes and said kindly, "It's okay, you go. Your master is actually favored by fortune. Once the nine layers are perfect, she senses the Golden Core opportunity. I am afraid she is going to close for a period of time, and wait until the pill is formed before coming out of seclusion."

He servant knew that True Person Lu must have asked True Person Zixu, so he was so sure. At this point, he was slightly relieved. He also lingered here for several months, and there were many important things in the country waiting to be arranged. Although practicing in Zixu Heaven is a multiplier of effort, it is also a thousand miles a day, and he didn't dare to delay any longer. He hurriedly resigned and came out, stayed in Zhuoyue Cliff for a while, and went to the country.

From the Shangqing Sect to the nine countries under the mountain, they are all covered by the mountain gate forces, and there are no miasma beasts. Shangqing disciples walk through them, naturally at ease. He servant walked fast all the way, full of things in the country. Not long after leaving the Sasu Marsh, he went down the river. Seeing the nine countries in sight, he suddenly heard someone calling for help in the mountains and waters under his feet. His heart moved slightly, and he didn't know why, ghost-like, he lowered his escape light and went into the forest. Not long after he entered the forest, he heard a scream, and there was no sound anymore.
