Have You Considered How an Old Golden Core Pauper Like Me Feels??

Xiao Changli coughed twice, forcing out a dry, somewhat strained smile, "I am Xiao Changli, an elder of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect Golden Light Peak, and also the protector of Junior Martial Niece Mu. Young friend, you are a disciple of my Golden Rainbow Sword Sect? I have never heard of you before."

Lu Yang bowed respectfully, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant. "Junior Lu Yang, an outer disciple of the sect, greets Elder Xiao and Martial Aunt Mu."

He spoke politely, but inwardly he was secretly amazed.

Through Wang Da's perception, Lu Yang learned that Mu Yunxue was now actually Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator.

In just four years, he broke through from the Early Qi Refinement Refining to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

Is this the true value of Transcendent-Grade Spirit Root?

That's incredibly powerful.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the full support and cultivation provided by the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect.

However, Lu Yang wasn't overly envious.

After all, his Spirit Root has been rising steadily, and it will soon reach the top grade. In the future, it will also be able to be upgraded to the super grade, or even the legendary Spirit Physique!

With the endless resources from the Tycoon System, his cultivation speed will only be faster than Mu Yunxue's!

No rush, let the dust settle.

Mu Yunxue stood quietly to one side, her plain white dress fluttering gently in the wind on the plain. She looked like a snow lotus blooming in the snow, aloof and indifferent, completely out of place with the golden plain around her.

Upon hearing Lu Yang's greeting, her calm eyes flickered slightly, like ripples spreading across a still lake.

She nodded slightly, her tone cool and aloof. "Martial Nephew Lu, we entered the sect in the same year?"

As soon as he said it, Xiao Changli was stunned for a moment.

Lin Ying and Wang Siyuan, who were still processing the series of shocks that had just occurred to them, were also stunned.

Several people glanced at Lu Yang in unison, their expressions showing some surprise.

Lu Yang is actually in the same year as Mu Yunxue?

Lu Yang himself was somewhat surprised; Mu Yunxue actually remembered him?

He chuckled softly, "That's right, I didn't expect that Martial Aunt Mu would know me?"

Mu Yunxue's expression remained calm, her tone as if stating a perfectly ordinary fact. "I have a very good memory. I remember what all the other disciples from my cohort look like."

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow.

This is no ordinary memory.

The number of disciples entering the sect in a single year is large, and some of them may have only met briefly or even spoken to. Even so, Mu Yunxue still remembers them all.

It seems that this exceptionally talented young woman with Transcendent-Grade Spirit Root is not only strong in Spirit Root, but her intelligence is probably also far beyond that of ordinary people.

He smiled and couldn't help but exclaim, "Martial Aunt Mu's talent is unparalleled."

Mu Yunxue nodded slightly, her expression matter-of-fact.

In her own mind, she was indeed exceptionally talented.

She is always realistic and doesn't deliberately belittle or exaggerate herself. She says what she is.

Then they both fell silent.

Looking at Mu Yunxue's aloof and stunningly beautiful face, Lu Yang's mind raced, but he still didn't know what to say.

After all, he knew very little about Mu Yunxue. He only knew that she was the sect leader's personal disciple and Transcendent-Grade Spirit Root, but he knew almost nothing else.

Mu Yunxue is clearly not the type of person who would proactively initiate conversations with others.

She stood there, as quiet as a painting, seemingly completely unconcerned by the silence.

The two stared at each other, a slightly awkward silence falling over them.

Xiao Changli stood to the side, glancing at Mu Yunxue and then at Lu Yang, his old eyes suddenly lighting up.

A meaningful smile appeared on his lips as he broke the silence, "Junior Martial Niece Mu, Martial Nephew Lu, why don't you two exchange a sound transmission mark? Both of you possess such extraordinary talent. Cultivation is not something to be done in isolation. Having a fellow Daoist to discuss the Dao with is a blessing for a lifetime."

Xiao Changli had spent quite some time with Mu Yunxue and knew his junior apprentice's personality very well.

With her pure Daoist heart, getting her to build good relationships with others is practically impossible.

But if it's about discussing the Dao, Mu Yunxue would probably be interested.

Xiao Changli naturally hoped that Mu Yunxue could become friends with Lu Yang.

Judging from the two protectors beside Lu Yang, the power behind this kid is most likely stronger than that of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, and he should be highly regarded within that force.

Mu Yunxue will undoubtedly become one of the core leaders of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect in the future.

If Mu Yunxue could befriend Lu Yang, the heir of a top-tier power, it would be entirely beneficial to the future of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect.

Mu Yunxue's expression remained unchanged; she simply looked at Lu Yang calmly and said, "I'm fine."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang was immediately overjoyed.

Brilliant!

Mu Yunxue is a super beauty with Shiyi rating, perfectly meeting the requirements of the system's Beauty Module.

He was naturally happy to exchange contact information with Mu Yunxue.

Regardless of how high the affection level will go in the future, the rewards given by the system when adding a confidante for the first time must be quite substantial.

He suppressed a smile, his expression calm and composed, and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, saying with a smile, "Then this junior will humbly accept your offer."

The two took out their sect tokens and exchanged telepathic imprints.

Lu Yang put away the token, looked at Xiao Changli, and casually changed the subject to the question he had been wanting to ask, "Elder Xiao, Li Yao hired someone to deal with me, but I killed them in return. The sect shouldn't punish me, right?"

Upon hearing Xiao Changli waved his hand and said decisively, "This matter was originally the fault of the younger generation of the Li Household. Junior Martial Nephew Lu was forced to retaliate, so how could he be punished? The Golden Rainbow Sword Sect will not tolerate such bullying of fellow disciples by the younger generation of the Li Household. Martial Nephew Lu, rest assured, the sect will notify the Li Household and make them give you an explanation!"

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised.

He originally thought that the sect turning a blind eye and pretending not to see it was already the best outcome.

After all, the Li family is a family that produces Golden Core cultivators, so they have to give them some face.

Unexpectedly, the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect was willing to put pressure on the Li Household for him, and even planned to take the initiative to make the Li Household give him an explanation?

A strange feeling welled up inside him.

It seems that Elder Xiao values him even more than he had imagined.

That works too.

Lu Yang originally planned to send people to keep an eye on the Li Household. If the Li Household had any ill intentions towards him because of Li Yao, he would simply wipe Li Household out as well.

He believed that Wang Da alone was enough to deal with the Li Household.

If that doesn't work, I'll spend Spirit Stones to hire a Peak Nascent Soul mercenary and wipe the Li Household off the map of Qin Province.

He wasn't planning on suffering a loss anyway.

Since the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect is willing to step in and exert pressure, Lu Yang is not in a position to refuse this trouble even if someone else covers for him.

Less trouble is always better.

Thinking of this, Lu Yang chuckled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Elder Xiao."

Xiao Changli smiled generously and waved his hand, "This is simply the rule of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, and it's what we should do."

Lu Yang nodded, his gaze lingering on Xiao Changli and Mu Yunxue for a moment before casually asking, "Elder Xiao, Martial Aunt Mu, since you two are planning to spend the New Year at Martial Aunt Mu's house, is it on your way? If so, I can give you a ride."

Xiao Changli was taken aback. He subconsciously looked down at the three still somewhat restless Black-Scaled Horses beneath Lu Yang and the other two.

Take along?

Should we use these three Black-Scaled Horses to carry it?

How do I send it?

Lu Yang noticed Xiao Changli's somewhat surprised gaze and smiled slightly.

He then flipped his hand, and a flash of light appeared on his Storage Ring.

The next moment, a giant airship appeared in the sky.

The flying boat was over a hundred feet long, its entire body a pale gold, and its hull was covered with layers upon layers of intricate patterns. Under the sunlight, it shone with a warm and heavy halo, like a magnificent palace floating in the air.

The flying boat hovered silently above everyone's heads, casting a shadow that turned half of the withered yellow grassland a deep brown.

Even the wind seemed to stop at that moment.

Xiao Changli looked up at the flying boat, his mouth slowly opening and then slowly closing.

That usually calm and composed face now showed a hint of bewilderment.

Holy crap...!?

What the heck??

Is this a flying boat?

A hundred-foot flying boat, what the hell is that?!

The Spirit Treasure used by Nascent Soul True Lord?

He mechanically turned his head and looked at Lu Yang, who had a calm expression, and was dumbfounded.

No... is this level of flying boat really suitable for a Qi Refining Realm cultivator like yourself?

Have you even considered the thoughts of a poor old man like me who's only at the Golden Core Realm?

Lin Ying pursed her red lips, her delicate body trembling slightly.

She looked up at the golden palace above her, and her heart skipped a beat.

She knew that Junior Brother Lu was wealthy and had an impressive background.

But from the moment she left until now, she felt like she was having a very, very long dream.

Junior Brother Lu's own incredibly powerful Law Technique, two Golden Core Realm protectors, the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect elder's overtures, and a hundred-zhang-long flying boat Law Treasure...

Each of these images was beyond her comprehension.

Her Junior Brother Lu was far more distinguished than she had imagined.

And yet, she had actually had physical intimacy with such a distinguished Junior Brother Lu?

Even Junior Brother Lu offered to take her home?

In the past, she would never have dared to dream of such a thing.

Lin Ying gently bit her lower lip, her eyes like water, her gaze on Lu Yang's profile filled with complex emotions.

There was admiration, attachment, shock, and a touch of inferiority.

Wang Siyuan's eyes were practically shining as he stared at Lu Yang's handsome profile, his gaze as if he were looking at a living god.

I guessed right!

Senior Brother Lu is invincible!!

What had just happened made Wang Siyuan feel as if a fire was burning in his chest, making his whole body feel hot.

He knew that he was clinging tightly to Senior Brother Lu's coattails.

Given Senior Brother Lu's background and status, even a tiny bit of residue leaking from between his fingers would be enough for him to obtain resources and even status far exceeding those of his fellow disciples!

Mu Yunxue tilted her head slightly, looking at the hundred-foot-long flying boat suspended above her head. The light of the golden array patterns fell on her snow-white face, revealing a fluctuation in her expression that she had never shown before.

She turned to look at Lu Yang, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

She was somewhat curious about the background of this Martial Nephew Lu.
