Worthy of Being the Sect's Oldest Living Fossil
Qi Yunshu glanced at the two gloating people beside her, and her lips twitched slightly.
He snorted irritably, his complex expression fading as he regained his composure. "That girl Yunxue has a Daoist heart; she'll probably only seek the Great Dao in this life and won't care about romantic love. Fang'er has been pursuing her for several years now, and they can barely exchange a few words."
He paused, then said frankly, "If Young Master Lu can truly win her heart, then as Yunxue's master, I will naturally support him."
There's nothing we can do if they don't support us.
After all, this Young Master Lu's identity is too frightening.
Even a monstrous genius at the Peak Nascent Soul stage serves as his bodyguard. With such a status, even a Nascent Spirit Transformation Realm expert might not dare to lay a finger on him.
He has lived for hundreds of years and cultivated to the Nascent Soul Realm, so he still has this much insight.
To antagonize such a person for the sake of some unfounded romantic entanglement between younger generations is something only a fool would do.
At this point, he suddenly glanced at Lin Xuanchen and Han Qianshan with a half-smile, "I am, after all, Yunxue's master. If Yunxue and Young Master Lu can truly get together, with this master-disciple bond, I will benefit."
The gloating smiles on Lin Xuanchen and Han Qianshan's faces instantly froze.
Han Qianshan snorted coldly, hugging his broad chest even tighter. "You're just lucky; you happened to have some feelings for that old man from the Mu Household back then."
Qi Yunshu chuckled, his robe sleeves fluttering gently in the mountain breeze, and said with a hint of teasing in his tone, "Junior Brother Qianshan, after living for so many years, don't you understand the importance of luck to the path of cultivation?"
Han Qianshan's face darkened, he grunted, and remained silent.
Lin Xuanchen simply stroked his white beard with amusement, watching the two juniors bicker without interjecting.
After a moment, Lin Xuanchen slowly spoke, "I don't have many descendants left. Perfect, I'll ask Young Master Lu if he has any recommendations, so my mountain peak won't be empty."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yunshu and Han Qianshan were both shocked.
The two of them glanced at Lin Xuanchen almost simultaneously, a look of genuine admiration appearing in their eyes.
As expected of the most senior figure in the sect, his methods are indeed superior to theirs!
All they thought of were their bloodline descendants and disciples.
But my grandmaster uncle was different; he was already thinking about the favor I owed Young Master Lu.
Come to think of it, not many cultivators are currently entering Young Master Lu's mountain.
But that doesn't mean Lu Yang doesn't have any close cultivators!
During their investigation of Lu Yang, they thoroughly investigated his interpersonal relationships within the sect.
He seems to have a good relationship with several disciples of the Qin Household, as well as a man named Wang Siyuan!
Even on the flying boat, Qi Yunshu saw Wang Siyuan and the other members of the Qin Household.
Han Qianshan immediately laughed heartily, his rugged face full of enthusiasm. "My Han Household only has one or two people qualified to enter the peak, and the rest are just my disciples. There are plenty of empty spots on the peak."
Qi Yunshu coughed lightly, straightened his sleeves, and followed unhurriedly. "Junior Brother Han is right. I also have some leeway. Having a few more people cultivate will help the sect accumulate more resources."
The three exchanged a glance, said nothing more, and immediately transformed into three streaks of light, flying towards the mountain where Lu Yang was located.
The mountain peaks of Lu Yang, the cave abode hall.
Sunlight streamed in obliquely through the skylight, casting a square pool of light in the center of the hall.
Lu Yang sat on the spirit wood chair, still holding the Golden Rainbow Sword Canon with its pale gold cover in his hand.
He looked at the respectful expressions of Lin Xuanchen and the other two, raised an eyebrow, and chuckled, "Your peak doesn't have enough people. I hope I can recommend some disciples to cultivate there?"
Lin Xuanchen stroked his white beard, his wrinkled face beaming with a particularly kind smile, "My mountain peak is rather empty anyway. If Young Master Lu could recommend a few disciples to come, that would be wonderful, making the peak a bit more lively."
Qi Yunshu and Han Qianshan nodded repeatedly from the side.
Lu Yang immediately smiled.
He could naturally tell that these three were taking the initiative to make friendly gestures.
Lu Yang naturally had no reason to refuse.
In fact, he had this plan all along.
He's a very possessive person.
Within his own mountain peak, only his beloved concubines could reside, or puppets like Wang Da and his ilk.
Male cultivators definitely cannot move in.
He originally planned to talk to Lin Xuanchen and the others after they had divided up the mountain peaks and bring Wang Siyuan in.
This Junior Brother Wang has practically become his loyal follower, not to mention he still has his Investment Contract on him.
Lu Yang naturally intended to get some benefits from him.
With Wang Siyuan's aptitude, if he were placed in the outer sect and cultivated step by step, who knows how long it would take him to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm?
If Wang Siyuan cultivates in such a rich Spiritual Qi environment, even with his mediocre Spirit Root, he should still have a chance to break through to the Golden Core Realm.
Although the Spirit Stone return from the Investment Contract was nothing to Lu Yang now that he had so much wealth, he didn't care about it.
But since we're going to train Junior Brother Wang anyway, it's better to have some return on investment than nothing, right?
Lu Yang smiled and said, "Since Elder Lin puts it that way, then I won't stand on ceremony. I have a junior brother named Wang Siyuan, and we have a good relationship..."
At this point, Lu Yang paused.
He suddenly thought of Qin Nanyue.
That guy's favorability rating has now reached 97.
That's pretty outrageous.
He hasn't even finished dual cultivation with this guy yet... and he's already almost at the maximum level?
He hadn't paid much attention before, only remembering that when that guy kissed him, his nipples increased by two.
However, back then, there weren't even 90 points.
He guessed that the increase in favorability was probably due to the gift of Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves and Thousand-Year Sword Intent Grass three days ago.
When Lu Yang saw that Qin Nanyue's favorability rating had reached 97, he still felt a little strange.
This guy... could it be that before even having dual cultivation, his affection level will already be at 100 points?
However, now that his relationship with Qin Nanyue has progressed this far, he naturally intends to lend a hand to the younger generation of the Qin Household.
Coincidentally, he had met the younger generation of the Qin Household twice before, and they got along quite well.
Thinking of this, Lu Yang added, "There are also a few members of the Qin Household; I'd appreciate it if Elder Lin could take care of them as well."
Lin Xuanchen's aged face was full of smiles as he readily agreed, "No problem! I'll arrange for someone to pick them up in a couple of days, Young Master Lu, please rest assured."
Qi Yunshu and Han Qianshan, who were standing nearby, opened their mouths.
Actually, their mountains are perfectly fine too!
However, since Lu Yang had already handed those people over to Lin Xuanchen, they naturally couldn't say anything more.
After all, this matter was originally brought up by my ancestor, my martial uncle.
Lu Yang nodded in satisfaction. "Okay."
Lin Xuanchen chuckled and rose to take his leave, "If Young Master Lu has nothing else, then the three of us will take our leave now."
Lu Yang nodded. "Go."
After watching the three leave the hall, Lu Yang thought for a moment, took out his sect token, and sent a message to Qin Nanyue.
He briefly recounted how Lin Xuanchen had agreed to allow the Qin Household members to enter the mountain to cultivate.
Qin Nanyue quickly replied via telepathy, "I understand, thank you, Lu Yang."
Lu Yang raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
This guy actually replied to my message?
Looks like you're not so shy anymore?
Lu Yang had originally planned to tease her a little more.
But after thinking about it, I decided against it; it's only been a few days.
If we keep teasing him, this guy might really break down.
It would be ridiculous if they just hid away for months and didn't leave the house.
Lu Yang shook his head, placed the sect token on the table, picked up the Golden Rainbow Sword Canon again, and continued to complete his daily reading task.
Early the next morning.
Outer gate, the western side peak of Seven Kills Peak.
As dawn broke, the morning mist in the mountains had not yet dissipated, and the bluestone path shone slightly, moistened by the dew from the previous night.
The Spirit Gathering Formation patterns carved on the stone foundation of the outer disciples' residences continue to operate day and night, absorbing the Spiritual Qi that permeates the mountains.
Wang Siyuan sat cross-legged on the futon, his hands forming a mudra and resting in front of his knees, slowly ending his practice.
He opened his eyes, feeling the spiritual energy in his Dantian, which was slightly stronger than yesterday, and a look of excitement appeared on his face.
It's improved again!
Ever since his Martial Uncle Lu gave him 100,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones for cultivation, he stopped being stingy with his Cultivation Resources.
In the past, he cultivated every day, and even his pills were consumed sparingly, sometimes taking a single Qi Nourishing Pill over three days.
Things are different now. He eats Spirit Cuisine three times a day, and his elixirs keep up with him. His cultivation speed is more than twice as fast as before!
After all, his Martial Uncle Lu had given him a strict order to cultivate diligently.
He certainly couldn't disobey his Martial Uncle Lu's orders!
At the current pace, he might reach the Late Qi Refining within two or three years!
This speed was something Wang Siyuan never dared to dream of!
Breaking through a minor realm within two or three years is an exceptionally fast pace even for an outer sect disciple!
This is the advantage of having someone backing you up and providing resources...
