Fulfilling You Both
"If I'm not mistaken, he is Yue Qianchou!" the mysterious woman transmitted her voice.
"Is he Yue Qianchou? Can he have such a high level of cultivation? This... However, his ruthless style of doing things is somewhat similar to that guy in the legends." The one-armed old man said with some disbelief, "The person that the most talked about among the Rogue Cultivator these days is Yue Qianchou. In the current situation, he actually dares to come here. He's quite bold."
"It's all so confusing, I don't know which one is the real him," the mysterious woman murmured.
"Miss, what did you say?" the one-armed old man asked in astonishment. He didn't quite understand what he meant. Just now he was saying that this person was Yue Qianchou, but now he couldn't tell the truth from the falsehood.
Yue Qianchou hovered in the air, squinting at the one-armed old man, ready to fight. What worried him was that he didn't know how high this mysterious old man's cultivation level was. Just now, the old man had casually flicked his sword, and it had faintly produced the sound of wind and thunder, something he had never seen before when fighting against late Tribulation Transcendence stage Transcending cultivators.
Could this old guy be Spirit Transformation stage? Yue Qianchou was slightly startled. He quietly locked onto Utopia with his Divine Sense, deciding to leave if necessary.
To his surprise, after making his move, the one-armed old man merely gave him a deep look before turning and stepping aside. Meanwhile, the veiled, mysterious woman gracefully ascended into the air, much like Chang'e.
As they ascended, the veil over her head tilted slightly, Yue Qianchou clearly sensed that the woman was looking at him. Then, a blue shadow vanished without a trace in the night sky... What was the woman's background, and what was the relationship between the one-armed old man and him? Yue Qianchou was somewhat puzzled.
Inside the Kaoshan Pavilion, the one-armed old man was drinking alone under the incandescent lantern, holding the wine jar that Yue Qianchou had given him, as if nothing had happened.
Damn it! I should have poisoned the wine, so you could drink it slowly! Yue Qianchou was seething with hatred, thinking, "Old man, don't be so smug, this wine isn't so easy to drink." He floated in the air and transmitted his voice to Fu Chun and Qin Jiaxing, "Go back!" His figure shot directly into the Ghost Manor.
Fu Chun and Qin Jiaxing exchanged glances. Their leader had previously claimed to be at the Core Formation stage, but his cultivation Core Formation stage had later revealed it to be far beyond that, as evidenced by his ability to fly. Now, he was even using telepathy on them—only someone at the early Tribulation stage could accomplish that!
The two were secretly excited, because with such a powerful expert protecting them, ordinary people in the Cultivation World wouldn't dare to touch them in the future—it was like having a formidable mountain in their path! Without much hesitation, they quickly flew off on their swords. The six women of Yan Lan nodded to each other and immediately followed.
The scattered Rogue Cultivator watching looked at each other, utterly astonished that someone would dare to make a move in the Ghost Manor. Someone spoke up, asking, "Does anyone recognize the two Rogue Cultivators who followed Niu Youde? They seem familiar."
"The taller one is named Fu Chun, and the shorter one is named Qin Jiaxing. They're just minor characters in the Foundation Establishment Realm, nothing special. Tsk tsk! What incredible luck these two have to have managed to get on the good side of such a powerful figure!" someone else replied.
The onlookers all revealed expressions of envy, an intense, profound envy. While the status of a cultivator from a prestigious sect offered many advantages, making it highly coveted, the founders of those sects were almost always Rogue Cultivator, and not just any independent Rogue Cultivator, but those with exceptionally high talent.
The reason is simple: cultivators from established sects mostly follow the sect's cultivation methods step by step, and within the framework laid out by their predecessors, few can surpass them. While the Rogue Cultivator is arduous and exhausting, those exceptionally talented Rogue Cultivator are different. They forge their own path with extraordinary talent, enabling them to establish their own sects and compete with cultivators across the land. Which of the top ten Cultivation World wasn't Rogue Cultivator?
Among the Rogue Cultivator, no one had ever heard of Niu Youde. But judging from his formidable skills today and other circumstances, he might also be a remarkably talented Rogue Cultivator. To be able to follow such a figure, once a sect is established, the followers' status within the sect will undoubtedly be extraordinary. How could those junior disciples who transitioned from Rogue Cultivator to affiliated with prestigious sects compare?
Therefore, everyone envied Fu Chun and Qin Jiaxing. If they could befriend them now, it might be a good opportunity in the future... To Yue Qianchou's surprise, the nickname "Ruthless Judge" that he casually uttered became Niu Youde's nickname. Moreover, because of his fight with the one-armed old man, it spread Cultivation World in just a few days.
Back in the small courtyard with its six rooms, Yue Qianchou dismissed the six women and summoned Fu Chun and Qin Jiaxing to his room. Seeing his serious demeanor, the two exchanged bewildered glances, wondering why their leader had summoned them.
Yue Qianchou took out two Storage Bag and tossed them to the two men. They caught them, glanced at each other, and immediately used their Divine Sense to examine them. What they saw shocked them; their eyes widened in astonishment, and they were speechless. Inside were countless Spirit Stones. For them, it was an enormous amount; they had never seen so many Spirit Stones in their entire lives. The two men looked at Yue Qianchou in confusion, wondering what he wanted to do with so many Spirit Stones.
"Each Storage Bag contains two million high-grade Spirit Stones, which is enough for you," Yue Qianchou said with a smile.
"For us?" the two asked almost simultaneously.
"Don't rush." Yue Qianchou took out two more purple 'True Restriction Breaking Pill' with purple halos and tossed Human Path, "It's your good fortune to have met me. Today I will help you break through to the early Tribulation stage Transcending in one fell swoop."
The two of them stood there dumbfounded, thinking they had misheard. Cultivation is about progressing step by step. They were only at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, how could they possibly break through to the early Tribulation stage in one fell swoop?
"Don't disbelieve me," Yue Qianchou said, pointing to the purple Dao of Alchemy in their hands. "What you're holding is called the 'Restriction Breaking Pill,' which is made according to High Antiquity Pill Formula. Because the herbs used to make it are extremely difficult to gather, it has almost never appeared in the Cultivation World, so very few people know about this elixir."
Although their cultivation levels were not high, they were already somewhat stunned when they saw that the elixir actually had a halo around it. Judging from the quality of the elixir alone, it was clearly made by a top-notch alchemist. It would be difficult for an ordinary alchemist to refine an elixir with a halo.
Fu Chun held the pill in his hands excitedly and said, "Boss, do you mean that this Restriction Breaking Pill can improve a person's cultivation level?" Qin Jiaxing inhaled the fragrance emanating from the elixir with some fascination.
"Take the elixir to enhance its medicinal properties, then absorb the Spiritual Qi within the Spirit Stone. Then you'll naturally know whether what I'm saying is true or not." Yue Qianchou raised his hand and said, "Try it!"
"Mmm." The two nodded repeatedly, too excited to say anything. Without hesitation, they stuffed the elixir into their mouths, sat down cross-legged, and began to regulate their breathing and cultivate their inner energy.
Neither of them had the slightest suspicion, because they both felt that their boss had no reason to harm them. Besides, given their own worth, neither of them was worth two million high-grade Spirit Stones! To spend four million high-grade Spirit Stones to harm insignificant characters like them would be utterly insane. With their boss's cultivation level, killing them would be a piece of cake; there was no need for all this trouble.
Before long, their skin turned bright red, hot breaths escaped from their mouths and noses, and they trembled uncontrollably, their expressions showing great pain. Yue Qianchou whispered, "Quickly absorb the Spirit Stone!"
The two of them shuddered and quickly pulled out Spirit Stone from their Storage Bag to absorb them. Hand after hand... In no time, the pained expressions on their faces returned to comfort, accompanied by a hint of surprise, as if they were thoroughly enjoying the feeling.
Two hours later, the two opened their eyes one after the other, looked at each other, and jumped up. Qin Jiaxing stammered, "I... I've broken through to the late Foundation Establishment!" Fu Chun was equally excited and said, "Me too!"
"Calm down, the exciting part is yet to come," Yue Qianchou said nonchalantly, sitting in a chair.
He had arranged two piles of elixirs on the tea table beside the door. Each pile contained seven purple Restriction Breaking Pill and three colorful elixirs with a seven-colored halo. The latter were the 'Seven Treasures Pill' refined from the Seven-Colored Spirit Ganoderma, an excellent elixir for breaking through cultivation bottlenecks.
"There are three bottlenecks in breaking through from Foundation Establishment to Nascent Soul Formation, to Nascent Soul, and then to Tribulation Transcendence stage. These three Seven-Colored Spirit Pills are rare spiritual pills for breaking through cultivation bottlenecks. You can take one for each bottleneck." Yue Qianchou smiled and tapped the coffee table, saying, "Take a bunch each, they should help you break through to the early Tribulation stage in one fell swoop. Damn it! I've given you Spirit Stone and spirit pills, so don't let me down!"
The two were so excited they didn't know what to say. Happiness had come so suddenly; they had never imagined such a wonderful thing could happen in their lives. They almost thought they were dreaming! Fu Chun a deep breath, bowed, and said, "From now on, Fu Chun will obey your orders." After saying that, he calmly took the ten spirit pills that were meant for him.
Qin Jiaxing was stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed and said, "From now on, Qin Jiaxing will absolutely obey the boss's orders." After saying that, he quickly took the elixir from the coffee table.
Yue Qianchou sat there smiling silently, then raised his hand, signaling them to continue. The two exchanged a glance, stood side by side, bowed deeply to him again, and then continued consuming the elixirs and absorbing Spiritual Qi ...
After the two closed their eyes, Yue Qianchou's face became expressionless, and his fingers tapped the coffee table surface absently... The purple Restriction Breaking Pill he gave them was the same as that given to most of the members of Utopia, which could rapidly raise a person's cultivation level to the early Tribulation stage.
The only drawback of this pill is that, although it can help people grow faster, those who take it will only be able to reach the late Tribulation Transcendence stage at most, and will have almost no hope of breaking through to the Spirit Transformation stage.
The white Restriction Breaking Pill he possessed could avoid this flaw, but it had another. Each pill would leave the user paralyzed for a month. If the two of them were to take the white Restriction Breaking Pill, even if they broke through to the early Tribulation stage, it would take at least eight months. What he lacked most right now was precisely time, very urgently...
