Chapter 82: Wang Yu Yao's Trouble

Although Mu Lingxi had never experienced certain things, she was, after all, born into the Hehuan Sect, and having been influenced by what she saw and heard, she understood them quite well.

Although Wang Jianqiang had spoken very urgently, she reacted instantly, and her pretty face flushed red.

"Can you change the terms?"

"No." Wang Jianqiang chuckled, continuously sizing up the stunning, fairy-like figure before him.

Upon hearing this, Mu Lingxi's expression became somewhat hesitant.

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Why don't you go back and think it over carefully? But you must be quick; the Pill in my hand is something I obtained by chance in the Cold Pool Secret Realm, and the quantity is limited."

"I already used quite a bit when I broke through myself, and what remains now can only supply one more person for Foundation Establishment."

"Yesterday, Xiao Cui also came to ask for my help; she took the initiative to offer to be my maid for a year. I didn't agree immediately, as I plan to raise the price to two years tonight."

"We are old acquaintances, so the price I've offered you is already low enough. If you can make a decision before tonight, I can give you priority."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Mu Lingxi was stunned, "Who is Xiao Cui?"

Wang Jianqiang looked surprised, "You don't know Xiao Cui? The number one beauty of the Outer Sect, she is so beautiful. She begged me for a long time yesterday, but I didn't agree."

Mu Lingxi was lost in thought.

She rarely came to the Outer Sect on ordinary days, so she knew very little about Outer Sect affairs.

She had only heard of the previous three great beauties of the Outer Sect when she participated in the Outer Sect Competition.

Among the three great beauties of the Outer Sect, she had seen both Su Yutong and Bai Xiruo.

Only the last one she had never met.

Could it be that the Xiao Cui in Wang Jianqiang's words was the last of the three great beauties of the Outer Sect?

Thinking of this, a powerful pressure suddenly arose in Mu Lingxi's heart.

Although she considered herself no worse than anyone else.

But Wang Jianqiang's condition for Xiao Cui was a full two years of service as a maid.

Comparing it like this, the requirement for her was simply not low at all.

Even based on the principle of the highest bidder winning, Wang Jianqiang should have been more inclined toward Xiao Cui.

Yet, looking at Wang Jianqiang's attitude, he was instead thinking of letting her have priority.

He was truly a stand-up guy!

Thinking of this, Mu Lingxi actually began to feel a bit self-reproachful.

Wang Jianqiang clearly had a better choice in Xiao Cui, yet he would rather harm his own interests to let her have priority.

And yet she hadn't been able to agree immediately; was she being too coy?

Furthermore, did she even have another choice?

Wang Jianqiang was already her last hope for Foundation Establishment; no matter what, she had to try!

Thinking of this, Mu Lingxi took a deep breath.

She looked at Wang Jianqiang, her expression becoming firm, "No need to consider it further, I agree."

Hearing Mu Lingxi's words, Wang Jianqiang began to laugh.

……

Half a day later.

Mu Lingxi walked out of the room, turned back to look inside, "Many thanks, Senior Brother Wang, for gifting the Pill."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but tightly grip the three Jade Bottles in her hand.

A Perfect Foundation Establishment Pill!

Never did she expect that Wang Jianqiang would actually have a Perfect Foundation Establishment Pill in his hands!

It was truly a case of searching high and low, only to find it without any effort.

At this moment, she finally understood why Wang Jianqiang was able to succeed in Foundation Establishment.

Only a treasure like the Perfect Foundation Establishment Pill could allow someone with a Five-Element Waste Spirit Root to successfully achieve Foundation Establishment.

"Hmm~"

After Mu Lingxi's voice faded, the room fell silent for a moment, and a faint, indistinct sound drifted out.

"I will return first and come another day to thank Senior Brother Wang."

Mu Lingxi's mind was now entirely occupied with returning as quickly as possible to go into seclusion for Foundation Establishment.

After finishing her sentence, she immediately flew into the sky and disappeared in an instant.

……

Half an hour later.

Wang Jianqiang walked out of the room.

His expression was somewhat gloomy.

Hum!

Just at this moment, Wang Jianqiang suddenly sensed an anomaly occurring within his Soul Sea.

His brows furrowed, and his consciousness immediately entered the Soul Sea.

In the chaotic Hunhai space, wisps of mist floated everywhere.

These mists were precisely his Soul Power.

In the center of the Hunhai, two light screens, one large and one small, were suspended.

Among them, the small light screen was flickering rapidly.

The light screen, which had originally been almost tangible, now looked significantly more illusory.

After Wang Yu Yao's Attribute Panel was fixed, Wang Jianqiang could not only check her attribute changes at any time, but could also confirm her situation at any moment.

Just like now.

Wang Yu Yao's Attribute Panel faded, indicating that Wang Yu Yao was in danger and had suffered heavy injuries.

Seeing this scene, Wang Jianqiang's expression tightened.

Soul Power permeated toward Wang Yu Yao's Attribute Panel.

Immediately, an image appeared in his mind.

It was exactly what Wang Yu Yao was experiencing at this moment.

Seeing this image, Wang Jianqiang's face sank, and he shot rapidly toward the Inner Sect.

……

The Competition Area is a place specifically established by the Hehuan Sect for Inner Sect Disciples to spar.

Here, those sparring can enter the Battle Secret Realm in their true bodies to fight each other, improve combat experience, and test techniques.

After entering the Battle Secret Realm, both parties in the spar each receive a Secret Realm Token; at a critical moment, one only needs to crush the Spirit Token to instantly leave the Secret Realm.

It is precisely because of this function that the lives of the Disciples who come here to compete are greatly guaranteed.

However, in battles between Cultivators, how could there be absolute safety?

Since the establishment of the Competition Area, although there have been few examples of people dying inside because they were unable to crush the Secret Realm Token in time, it is not unheard of.

The high-level members of the sect naturally know the dangers of Cultivators fighting with all their might, so they specifically stipulated that once one enters the Secret Realm, life and death are determined by fate.

Even if one severely injures or even kills an opponent, one will not be punished by sect rules.

Ever since Wang Yu Yao entered the Inner Sect, she has come to the Competition Area almost every few days to temper the techniques she has newly cultivated.

Cultivating combat techniques is different from increasing one's cultivation level.

Blindly practicing in seclusion is difficult to achieve results; only through battle can one progress at the fastest speed.

Over the past three months or so, the techniques she has been cultivating have made significant progress.

On this day, following her usual practice, Wang Yu Yao came to the Competition Area after several days of closed-door cultivation.

As usual, she casually found a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator as an opponent.

She originally thought it would be another normal spar like in the past.

However, after entering the Battle Secret Realm, she encountered big trouble.
