Chapter 293

With Cui Yu and Cui Cui Luoyu there, the hundreds of playboys of the Cui family didn't dare to stir up any more trouble. There was an art to being a playboy safely; one had to know clearly who could be provoked and who couldn't, and no matter how blind a playboy was, they all knew that these two masters, Cui Yu and Cui Cui Luoyu, could not be provoked.

The disciples of the Tianqing Hall and Shuiyue Hall also came over to pay their respects to Wei Yuan, including six from the Tianqing Hall and seven from the Shuiyue Hall, totaling thirteen. Wei Yuan chatted with them for a few sentences and asked about the cause of the conflict on the way.

Originally, only six disciples from the two halls planned to come to the Western Regions for training, but later it increased to nine, and the two True Persons prepared silver for this number. But just before departure, the two True Persons thought of Wei Yuan's terrifying Heavenly Merits and stuffed in several genius disciples who were being cultivated as seeds.

As a result, the number of people increased, and they didn't even have enough money to buy the tickets, but fortunately, the Cui family was accommodating and gave them two tickets for free. However, the True Person of the Tianqing Hall felt that they had taken advantage of the Cui family and couldn't save face, so he took the initiative to suggest not having food. In fact, the Cui family had never thought about listing food separately in the ticket price.

The two True Persons sent so many disciples over, firstly hoping that they could train in Qingming, which was much safer than the north. Secondly, they hoped that the disciples could share a little bit of Heavenly Merits; even if it was only three or five points, it would be good, and they could exchange for many things.

In fact, every single Heavenly Merit could be exchanged for many things. For disciples of great families like Cui Yu, Heavenly Merits were an honor on their chests and a decoration for their titles. But for disciples of the Tianqing Hall, three Heavenly Merits were like charcoal in the snow, and ten Heavenly Merits were enough to take off.

Wei Yuan looked at them one by one; the leading disciple of the Tianqing Hall was named Ren Ren Suxing, who was already over thirty, actually three classes higher than Wei Yuan and only one class behind Zhang Sheng.

There were not many disciples in the two halls, so Wei Yuan had heard of Ren Ren Suxing's name and remembered his information.

Ren Ren Suxing was now also in the late stage of Dao Foundation, and his Dao Foundation was a heaven-rank immortal sword. It was not impossible for him to achieve Dharma Form, but it was also quite difficult. He had been stuck in the late stage of Dao Foundation for three years, but he didn't know how much longer he would be stuck.

Ren Ren Suxing was fundamentally different from Zhang Sheng; Zhang Sheng's heart was higher than the sky, and he was determined to have four swords perfected before entering Dharma Form, and now there was the requirement of a sword array being naturally formed. Everyone knew that once Zhang Sheng achieved Dharma Form, he would soar into the sky, and his progress would not be slower than anyone else's.

Ji Ji Liuli was the same; she had made no progress in her cultivation for many years, only busy repairing that Demon-Suppressing Pagoda. As a result, the pagoda became more and more divine and mysterious, making people more and more unable to fathom it, and she didn't know when the end would be.

These two peerless geniuses buried their heads in polishing their Dao Foundations, and as a result, they led their generation astray.

In the same class and even the classes before and after, countless cultivators followed the trend and began to refine their Dao Foundations in order to achieve a perfect breakthrough. In the end, many people's teachers couldn't stand it anymore, came forward to sternly rebuke them, and let these people deeply understand what it meant to be inferior to others, which drove some to attempt a breakthrough and also added several Dharma Form True Persons to the Tai Chu Palace.

The immortal sword "Drizzle" that Ren Ren Suxing was raising was now also overflowing with precious light, looking much better than the original version. If heaven-rank could also be divided into nine grades, it would be equivalent to raising it from the eighth grade to the seventh grade, and the hope of advancing to Dharma Form increased from ten percent to twelve percent, which took him a full three years.

Another person Wei Yuan noticed was a young girl from the Shuiyue Hall. She was clearly still somewhat immature, two years younger than Wei Yuan, and was a genius disciple of the next class, named Fei Fei Yutong. She gave people the feeling of being exceptionally clean, fragile, and a little soft and beautiful, and her facial skin already had the luster of moon essence.

Fei Fei Yutong came from a medium-sized noble family and was cultivated with secret methods in the family until she was ten years old before participating in the sect's unified examination. After entering the palace, her cultivation flew, and two years ago she was already in the mid-stage of Dao Foundation.

After chatting for just a few sentences, Wei Yuan said: "Eat first!" Then he ordered people to take these fellow disciples who had been hungry for three or four days to eat.

When settling these Cui family members, Wei Yuan discovered that there were actually three Dharma Form True Persons on the flying boat, but they refused to leave the flying boat, saying that everything would be solved on the boat, and they would leave once all materials were moved.

Wei Yuan understood that this was the Cui family avoiding suspicion; last time there were few people and the boat was small, so it didn't matter. This time there were too many people, and many materials were transported, so it was different. If the Dharma Form True Persons appeared again, it would be equivalent to slapping the Xu family in the face.

This batch of the Cui family should have set off long ago, but when there were many people, things became complicated. Just before departure, people kept wanting to jump onto this boat, so there were all kinds of requests and gifts. There were also a few who were scared by the death rate last time and jumped off the boat at the last minute, resulting in the number of people dragging on for nearly a month before setting off, and the number changed from the originally planned 200 to 370.

This time, the Cui family sent 20 stalks of 300-year-old Five-Element Spiritual Ginseng along with the boat. Five-Element Spiritual Ginseng was a mid-grade spiritual plant; basically, one year of age was one tael of immortal silver, and they had a wide range of uses, with many elixirs needing them to adjust the medicinal properties of the main materials.

This batch of Five-Element Spiritual Ginseng was a reward sent in advance, which could be said to have been sent to Wei Yuan's heart.

Secondly, there were 10,000 grains of Black Pearl Rice that could be used as seeds. This spiritual rice was a mid-grade spiritual plant, generally only supplied to Dharma Form cultivators. Last time, the Cui family gave three grains secretly, but this time they didn't pretend anymore and sent 10,000 grains directly, saving Wei Yuan two years of breeding work.

This time, the Cui family only sent these two things; the top-tier noble families were indeed extraordinary in their actions, holding Wei Yuan firmly in their hands.

After finally settling the 370 ancestors of the Cui family, Wei Yuan had time to talk in detail with Cui Cui Luoyu.

After the last batch of the Cui family returned, the high-level cultivators in the clan asked in detail about the whole process of cultivation, and the matter of buying immunity from death naturally could not be hidden. Almost all Dao Foundations came from the group that went to the battlefield, and only one came out of those who bought immunity. This sharp contrast made the Cui family's old matriarch loosen her mouth and relax the 30 death quotas to 100. As a result, 400 people originally wanted to come, but after hearing this news, the number dropped by several dozen.

Cui Cui Luoyu was actually here with another mission. After a detailed discussion, Wei Yuan learned that there was a group of old people behind him who wanted to establish a Dao Foundation.

These people originally had no hope for a Dao Foundation, and they were old, so they had already accepted their fate. But Qingming suddenly opened a gap, which immediately made them see hope again.

The only purpose for them to establish a Dao Foundation was one thing: life extension.

As long as a Dao Foundation could be established, even if their bodies had been hollowed out by wine and sex for decades, at least they could live for another twenty or thirty years.

Being able to find the path to Cui Cui Luoyu here, these people either held middle-level management positions or had important figures among their kin. For example, there were several descendants of True Lords among them.

Cui Cui Luoyu said very clearly that these people were not short of money, but they could not go to the battlefield, or if they went to the battlefield, they could not die; otherwise, coming for life extension only to die on the battlefield, wouldn't that become a joke?

Besides, they wanted to guarantee a certain success rate, and they also wanted face, so they had to keep it secret.

Wei Yuan didn't expect there to be such a business, so he asked: "Then what success rate do you think is guaranteed?"

Cui Cui Luoyu said: "I hope there will be thirty people on the next boat, and they want at least four to establish a Dao Foundation. If it can be done, each will thank you with 5,000 taels of immortal silver! The rank of the Dao Foundation is not limited."

Wei Yuan nodded: "Good, I understand. However, I need to think about this carefully and go back to check the cultivation manuals; I won't be able to give you an answer until some time has passed."

Cui Cui Luoyu saw Wei Yuan stand up to leave and hurriedly said: "Wait! I know this is a bit difficult, this... sigh, I'll tell you the truth: as long as two people can establish a Dao Foundation, they will come, and 10,000 thank-you silver will be paid in advance!"

!.

Wei Yuan laughed: "The Cui family has not treated me poorly, so I will naturally do my best in this matter. Two should be no problem, but I need time, and they will probably have to stay in the realm for some time."

Cui Cui Luoyu was overjoyed: "No problem, stay as long as you need! If these two uncles can establish a Dao Foundation this time, it will truly be a great help. I won't dare say anything else, but many authorities over low-grade spiritual objects and spiritual plants are in their hands, and in the future, we can supply as much as you want!"

Wei Yuan was somewhat surprised: "Aren't you afraid of making the Xu family unhappy?"

"Smuggling, not sending it openly. We take the Zhao country route, and the Xu family's hands can't reach Zhao country." Cui Cui Luoyu was clearly quite familiar with such matters.

After sending Cui Cui Luoyu away, Wei Yuan pondered for a long time and ordered people to bring over several cultivators who had completed Body Forging and were preparing to advance to Dao Foundation in the next batch. These people were all from the Xu family's private army, and their Body Forging foundation was quite solid, and they originally had a little hope of establishing a Dao Foundation.

When they stood still, Wei Yuan waved his hand, and an immortal sword appeared in front of each of them. The sword body was slightly green and emitted a trace of water vapor; it was the "shame of immortal swords," an immortal sword one grade worse than white silk, "Drizzle."

"Each of you take one of these immortal swords, and I will pass on a cultivation method to you. After you go back, operate the cultivation method and comprehend it carefully; perhaps you will have the opportunity to establish a Dao Foundation with this immortal sword."

Several cultivators were both surprised and happy, and immediately held the immortal sword Drizzle carefully in their hands, each going back to practice without mentioning it.

This was an attempt by Wei Yuan. Because the immortal sword Drizzle was weak, its structure and internal principles were very simple, and the difficulty of establishing a Dao Foundation was lower than many human-rank Dao Foundations. As long as the root bone was passable, it was quite easy to get started. And with a fixed goal, these cultivators wouldn't have to think about this and that, and perhaps the chances of success would be greater.

If this attempt could succeed, Wei Yuan would prepare to arrange it for the Cui family's old masters when he turned back. The masters had all spent money, so he had to give them something different.

Although Drizzle was the shame of immortal swords and its power was weaker than most human foundations, it was still an immortal sword after all, and its appearance was enough to kill ninety-nine percent of human-rank Dao Foundations.

After all, the gold-master masters only wanted life extension and to show off in front of people, not to really take it to duel.
