Chapter 187: Heading to the Liuli Sect

Gui Shen Xie Yi released her Divine Sense to inspect them carefully, then transmitted her voice to Lu Tianyu: "I did not discover any suspicious individuals."

"If you, Young Master, intend to enter the alchemy industry in the future, these people could all be taken in as alchemy apprentices or shop assistants."

"I will conduct aptitude tests in a moment to find a few alchemy apprentices."

Lu Tianyu made an 'oh' sound, somewhat disappointed: "So you mean, none of these women possess a special constitution?"

His original intention was to find a few capable assistants for Gui Sheng Xie Yi; he wanted to find at least two.

Judging by Gui Sheng Xie Yi's attitude, these people could only be used as a makeshift solution; she was not very satisfied.

He wanted to use the territory of the Liuli Sect as a place to sell medicinal pills.

After all, the reputation of Gui Sheng Xie Yi was established there.

Gui Sheng Xie Yi had agreed to stay in the Eight Emperors Star for one hundred years; Lu Tianyu wanted to keep her there permanently, and during this time, he would find a way to locate the Great Emperor Changheng so that Gui Sheng Xie Yi could be at ease.

Gui Sheng Xie Yi nodded and transmitted her voice: "That Liu Qingyan is barely passable; the others are all average."

"The girl you brought back last time is capable, but she is your personal maid."

Lu Tianyu was slightly startled: "In that case, I will leave Yue Lingruo with you; I will call for her when I need her, as I have no use for her at the moment."

"Then you can pick a few more usable helpers from among them, how about that?"

He knew that Gui Sheng Xie Yi had extremely high standards and would not look favorably upon ordinary people.

But he had not expected that Gui Shen Xie Yi's standards were even higher than he had imagined.

Gui Sheng Xie Yi replied: "Everything shall be decided by you, Young Master!"

Lu Tianyu looked at the women: "You will follow the senior to undergo testing, after which she will train you for a period of time; I will keep those who are useful."

"You go test first; Yan Dongping, come with me."

As he spoke, he turned and entered the medical hall.

Yan Dongping and Liu Qingyan were both slightly stunned.

They had thought the one in charge would be Gui Sheng Xie Yi, but they had not expected it to be Lu Tianyu.

They observed that Gui Sheng Xie Yi was quite respectful toward Lu Tianyu, not at all like a master treating a disciple.

What on earth was going on?

Gui Sheng Xie Yi addressed Lu Tianyu as 'Young Master', proving that Lu Tianyu was not Gui Sheng Xie Yi's disciple.

Could it be that this Lu Tianyu's identity was extraordinary?

But so many years had passed, and they all knew Lu Tianyu's background; what was happening now?

What exactly was Lu Tianyu's identity?

"Why are you standing there stunned? Why haven't you followed the Young Master inside yet?"

Seeing Yan Dongping still dazed, Gui Sheng Xie Yi immediately scolded her.

Yan Dongping finally reacted and hurried a few steps to follow.

In a separate room on the fourth floor, Lu Tianyu gestured for Yan Dongping to sit down.

Yan Dongping did not dare to sit, saying nervously: "I await Young Master Lu's instructions!"

Lu Tianyu naturally did not force her: "I have two conditions; if you agree, I will accept the Liuli Sect, if not, then forget it."

Yan Dongping was slightly stunned: "Please speak, Young Master!"

She was very anxious about what kind of demands Lu Tianyu might make.

What if they were too excessive?

Lu Tianyu nodded: "First, the Liuli Sect will serve as the external business location for the Eight Emperors Star, primarily focusing on alchemy and the sale of medicinal pills."

"Second, the Eight Emperors Star will take half of the profits, and the rest will belong to your Liuli Sect; what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Dongping was stunned: "Just that?"

She did not recover for a long while.

She had thought Lu Tianyu would open his mouth like a lion and demand many things.

She had not expected Lu Tianyu to propose such simple requirements.

This was equivalent to asking for nothing, and it even brought profit to the Liuli Sect.

One had to know that Gui Sheng Xie Yi's alchemy was top-tier, and the pills she refined were top-tier.

Lu Tianyu's expression was stern: "Of course, all of this must be conducted under the supervision of my Eight Emperors Star."

"You must not act recklessly, and seeking private gain is absolutely forbidden!"

Phew!

Yan Dongping let out a long sigh of relief: "I agree!"

She looked at Lu Tianyu with a firm expression: "The Liuli Sect can enter into a marriage alliance with the Eight Emperors Star; you may take any woman you fancy as a wife or concubine."

She was hinting at Liu Qingyan.

Lu Tianyu waved his hand: "The women in your sect can enter into a marriage alliance with my Bahuang Star Domain, but that depends on my mother's wishes; you can arrange it as you see fit."

"Trouble the Sect Master to take me to meet that Tian Daguang!"

He did not oppose a marriage alliance between the Eight Emperors Star and the Liuli Sect, but that was no longer something he needed to worry about.

As for reconciling with Liu Qingyan, that was impossible.

"Please follow me, Young Master!" Yan Dongping bowed to Lu Tianyu and turned to walk in front.

After exiting the Transmission Array area, Yan Dongping suddenly stopped: "Young Master Lu intends to go alone?"

She felt that if Lu Tianyu went to confront Tian Daguang alone like this, wouldn't he be throwing his life away in vain?

Tian Daguang's Protector had followed along; it would be strange if he didn't try to kill Lu Tianyu upon seeing him.

Lu Tianyu said coldly: "Do not ask about things you shouldn't."

"Lead the way!"

Yan Dongping hurriedly said, "That is not what I meant; I am worried about Lu Tianyu's safety."

"By the way, the Supreme Elder of our Liuli Sect wishes to meet you, Young Master; would that be possible?"

"Very well!"

Lu Tianyu had already anticipated this.

Yan Dongping was merely the Sect Master; the true person in charge of the Liuli Sect was the Supreme Elder at the Void-Piercing Stage.

Just after exiting the Transmission Array, Lu Tianyu sensed a faint Divine Sense locking onto him.

This aura was cold and sinister, yet it flashed and vanished, disappearing without a trace.

Lu Tianyu could not help but frown and stop in his tracks.

He released his Divine Sense to investigate the surroundings but could not find the source of that Divine Sense.

Yan Dongping, who had already brought out a flying boat, was slightly startled: "Does Young Master Lu have any questions?"

Lu Tianyu shook his head slightly: "No!"

"Our Supreme Elder is still some distance from here, please, Young Master!" Yan Dongping bowed slightly.

Lu Tianyu boarded the flying boat without ceremony and casually found a room to begin meditating.

The Liuli Sect's Transmission Array was at the headquarters on Liuli Xing, but

it would still take some time to reach Liguang City, so he had to seize the time to cultivate.

He had just broken through to the Heart Movement Stage, and the operation of his two dantian was somewhat unsynchronized.

His Body Refining cultivation was a bit low, while his Qi Refining was much higher; he had to maintain a balance.

His focus for the next period of cultivation would be Body Refining; he had to at least raise his Body Refiner realm to the Viscera Return realm.

Whenever he had free time during this period, he had to harmonize the two dantian to increase the degree of Fusion between his Gang Qi and Spiritual Energy.

As soon as he sat cross-legged, Lu Tianyu felt that aura following him again, ignoring the flying boat's Restriction to lock onto him.

This time, he identified it clearly.

This aura came from ten miles behind the flying boat; it was likely a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator following him.

He just did not know who was targeting him.

However, it did not matter.

He had Cui Jinjia protecting him in the shadows, as well as the Demon Dog, so he was not afraid at all.

If this person dared to make a move, he would absolutely show no mercy.
