Wang Siyuan: An Inner Sect Big Shot Has Taken a Fancy to Me

Wang Siyuan silently expressed his gratitude to Martial Uncle Lu once more.

Although he is only at the Mid-stage Qi Refining, he would go through fire and water for his Martial Uncle Lu if needed!

Wang Siyuan got up from the futon, stretched, and his bones made a series of soft cracking sounds.

He strode out of the meditation room, then went downstairs and pushed open the door.

The morning light spilled over from the eastern mountain ridge, illuminating the stone path along the mountain peak with a soft glow.

A mountain breeze, carrying the delicate floral fragrance unique to the outer area, drifted up from the valley, bringing with it a touch of coolness.

As soon as Wang Siyuan stepped out the door, he saw a young man standing under the old pine tree outside.

The male cultivator was tall and slender, wearing an outer disciple's robe. He had a rather handsome appearance, with a gentle demeanor in his eyes and brows.

He crossed his arms and leaned against the tree trunk, the morning light filtering through the pine needles and scattering across him in shimmering patches of light.

When Wang Siyuan saw this person, his eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled and quickly went to greet him, "Senior Brother Zhu Hui, what brings you here?"

Zhu Hui, like him, was an outer disciple of the Seven Kills Peak.

However, Zhu Hui's background is far superior to his.

The Zhu Household behind him is Golden Core Lineage, with two Golden Core ancestors presiding over the clan.

Although they cannot compare to the top Golden Core families, they are still considered a high-level force in Qin Prefecture.

Logically speaking, given the vast difference in their backgrounds, it would be almost impossible for them to have any interaction.

However, Wang Siyuan often went to the canteen to eat Spirit Cuisine these days, and he often met Zhu Hui, who also frequented the canteen. Over time, they became acquainted and gradually became friends.

Although they hadn't known each other for long, they had a very good relationship.

Zhu Hui grinned, straightened up, stepped forward, and put his arm around Wang Siyuan's shoulder. "You're planning to go get breakfast, huh? Come on! It's on me today."

Wang Siyuan was taken aback, then quickly waved his hand and said, "Senior Brother Zhu Hui, how can that be? How can I let you spend money?"

His background was ordinary, and he had only recently entered the outer sect, so he had almost no friends on Seven Kills Peak.

He had even clashed with several of his senior classmates before.

Thanks to Zhu Hui for stepping in and helping him resolve the issue, and for patiently explaining the unwritten rules of the outer sect to him.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for him to integrate smoothly into the outer sect.

In Wang Siyuan's view, Zhu Hui had helped him too much, so how could he possibly ask Zhu Hui to treat him to a meal in return?

Zhu Hui grinned, his voice brimming with barely suppressed joy. "I just broke through to the Late Qi Refining last night, I'm so happy, let's celebrate together!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Siyuan's eyes lit up, and he smiled with delight, "So Senior Brother has broken through?! Congratulations!"

Wang Siyuan had heard Zhu Hui say that although he came from the Golden Core Zhu Household, his Spirit Root was only of medium grade and his talent was very average.

Such talent is quite ordinary among the younger generation of the Zhu Household.

Therefore, he naturally did not receive much support from his Lineage.

With poor Spirit Roots and insufficient Lineage support, Zhu Hui's cultivation speed has always been slow.

It's been almost five years since Zhu Hui entered the outer sect, and he has finally broken through to the Late Qi Refining.

Wang Siyuan was genuinely happy for him.

Zhu Hui laughed and said, "So it's my treat today! Not only you, but I've also invited a few other friends."

Upon hearing this, Wang Siyuan immediately became a little nervous, and the smile on his face faded slightly.

"Senior Brother Zhu Hui, I don't know any of your friends. Would it be inconvenient for me to go?"

Zhu Hui patted Wang Siyuan on the shoulder enthusiastically. "What's inconvenient about it? I've been observing you for a long time. You're practically reckless when you cultivate, you hardly have any rest time except for eating and sleeping! With this kind of drive, you're sure to make a name for yourself in the future! No wonder you've gained the appreciation of the big shots in the inner sect! I have high hopes for you and would like to establish a good relationship with you!"

Wang Siyuan had not told Zhu Hui about Lu Yang.

After all, Lu Yang's status was too noble and too sensitive.

When Lu Yang returned to his sect after the New Year, he traveled on Flowing Light Flying Boat and took the Li Household's Golden Core cultivator as his servant, which alarmed the sect True Lord, who personally came to greet him...

This matter shocked the entire sect.

Everyone in the sect was talking about Lu Yang speculating about his identity.

Wang Siyuan never intended to use Lu Yang's name, so as to avoid causing Lu Yang any unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, he simply said that he had gained the favor of a great figure in the inner sect, which was why he was able to receive Cultivation Resources such as Spirit Cuisine and elixirs.

Zhu Hui didn't ask any further questions about this.

After all, there are indeed genius disciples in sects who cultivate their own followers.

This kind of thing isn't uncommon in the outer sect.

Although Wang Siyuan's Spirit Root quality wasn't very strong, he was incredibly resilient and hardworking.

With Mid-Grade Spirit Root and such hard work, reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm in the future should be no problem, right?

If given the right fortuitous opportunity, reaching the Golden Core Realm is not impossible.

In addition, Wang Siyuan was tight-lipped and quite honest.

Such people are often accepted as followers by talented disciples because they are convenient and easy to use.

This is also why Zhu Hui was willing to befriend Wang Siyuan.

After all, he himself only had a Mid-Grade Spirit Root. Although he considered himself to be quite hardworking, he was far from being as desperate as Wang Siyuan.

He sometimes even felt that his future achievements might not be as great as Wang Siyuan's.

Unable to resist Zhu Hui's enthusiasm, Wang Siyuan nodded and was led by Zhu Hui to Banfeng Cafeteria.

Banfeng Restaurant is built on a platform halfway up the mountain. It is decorated with carved beams and painted rafters and has a large area, much larger than the residence.

Several spirit lamps, still burning, hung under the eaves, casting a faint, warm yellow glow in the morning light.

Outer disciples came and went in a constant stream at the gate, most of them in a hurry, some even holding freshly baked spirit flour buns and eating them as they walked.

Zhu Hui led Wang Siyuan through the cafeteria door, past several long tables full of people, to a corner by the window.

Several young people were already sitting at a long table there.

Upon seeing Zhu Hui approach, the young men stood up simultaneously, smiling and bowing respectfully.

"Brother Hui, you're finally here?"

"Brother Hui, congratulations! You've reached the Late Qi Refining! Foundation Establishment is just around the corner!"

Zhu Hui responded enthusiastically to each question with a broad smile.

These young people, like Zhu Hui, were disciples from various Golden Core families who were not favored.

Each of them had mediocre talent, possessing only Mid-Grade Spirit Roots.

Of course, there were also two or three young geniuses with High-Grade Spirit Roots.

However, such geniuses all come from Foundation Establishment Lineage, and their backgrounds are weaker than those of Golden Core Lineage.

The true geniuses of Golden Core Lineage with High-Grade Spirit Roots wouldn't deign to sit with this group of people.

However, after all these years, Zhu Hui has long since come to terms with it.

Even if his talent is poor, it's still better than those rogue Rogue Cultivators with Low-Grade Spirit Roots, right?

Moreover, with the Zhu Household as his backer, as long as the Zhu Household doesn't fall, he'll live a relatively comfortable life.

As long as he doesn't have too much ambition and try to compete for the more powerful positions in the Lineage, that's fine.

"Brother Hui, is this Junior Brother Wang Siyuan, whom you personally invited?" A young female cultivator looked at Wang Siyuan curiously.

"I never would have guessed that Junior Brother Wang would be so highly regarded by such an important figure in the inner sect."

The young disciples from the Golden Core Lineage looked at Wang Siyuan with some surprise.

Before Zhu Hui went to invite Wang Siyuan, he had already briefly told them about Wang Siyuan.

They were also somewhat curious about Wang Siyuan.

Despite possessing only Mid-Grade Spirit Root sect, and Zhu Hui also praised him highly.

However, the expressions on the faces of those Foundation Establishment Lineage with High-Grade Spirit Roots were not very pleasant.

After all, their Spirit Roots were of higher quality than Wang Siyuan's, yet they had never caught the eye of any important figure.

They had heard from Zhu Hui that Wang Siyuan could eat Spirit Cuisine and top-grade cultivation pills every day!

Even they have to do missions frequently just to barely maintain such cultivation conditions!

Wang Siyuan, on the other hand, didn't have to do anything. He could just focus on cultivation every day, and resources would naturally be provided for him.

How could this not make them envious, jealous, and resentful?

A middle-aged man who looked to be in his early thirties sat on the other side of the long table, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the surface.

He looked at Wang Siyuan with a half-smile and asked, "Junior Brother Wang, which important figure has taken a liking to you? Could you ask them for me if they need any more followers? I have High-Grade Spirit Root, and I have a great chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment in the future. It's not impossible for me to even attempt the Golden Core stage."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the cultivators present became somewhat subtle.

They exchanged a glance, but neither of them spoke.

After all, they were also a little curious: which important figure had such exceptional taste that they were willing to cultivate even a cultivator with Mid-Grade Spirit Root?

It's important to know that to enter the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, one must have at least Mid-Grade Spirit Root.

All disciples of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect possess this kind of innate talent!

For those high-ranking figures, only High-Grade Spirit Roots are worth cultivating, right?
