Over the next few days, Jiang Liu spent his time cultivating and talking with the two women to strengthen their bond.
Of course, the two women are now taking turns cooking and serving Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu finally lived the ideal life of having food served to him and clothes provided for him.
In the past few days, Feng Yi had come to Jiang Liu several times to go out for tea, drinks, and boasting, and Jiang Liu had accompanied him on these outings.
However, seeing Feng Yi still living a comfortable life, Jiang Liu could only shake his head helplessly. This name was really well-chosen; life is indeed comfortable!
Taking advantage of the free time, Jiang Liu also met with He Chuyue, the person in charge of the Wind Division in Wind City, and Hao Jiao and Li Yueping, the two persons in charge of the Gentle Rain Division.
He Chuyue was someone Murong Yin had arranged to infiltrate the place. Jiang Liu didn't see anything wrong with her when he met her. Moreover, He Chuyue was quite experienced in intelligence gathering, having previously been responsible for external communications for Ascension Tower.
Now, she is also being prepared to take charge of the establishment of the Tingfeng branch in Yun County, because Yun County will be used as the center of the Wind Division in the future, so a more experienced person is needed to help Murong Yin.
Hao Jiao and Li Yueping surprised Jiang Liu because the bloody smell emanating from them was very strong.
These two must have been in the middle of a fight, which is why they smelled so strongly of blood.
Seeing that the two of them were about to break through to the Seventh Grade, Jiang Liu decided to lend them a hand.
He took the two of them out of the city, and in the dense forest outside the South City, Jiang Liu directly used the Star Cloud Saint Art to condense his vital energy to help them accelerate their breakthrough.
He made them practice their own cultivation techniques, and then Jiang Liu forcibly condensed the surrounding Essence Particles together, forcing them to absorb it more quickly. In reality, it was a forced infusion; if they didn't absorb it, they would explode and die.
And they did not disappoint Jiang Liu. After Jiang Liu gathered their vital energy ten times, they finally broke through.
Although doing so might seem like forcing growth and could damage the meridians, the current strength of the Gentle Rain Division is too low, so we have no choice but to find a way to accelerate its development.
However, they never lacked supplementary cultivation pills; it was just that choosing cultivation techniques was not so easy.
Because lower-grade cultivation techniques are easier to learn and develop combat power. However, it becomes difficult to advance later on; one either stagnates or has to switch to a different cultivation technique.
High-level cultivation techniques are difficult to learn, and mastering them takes at least several years. However, successful cultivation leads to better future prospects.
It's impossible for this group of people to switch to cultivating inner strength now, mainly because time doesn't allow it.
After Jiang Liu and the other two finished advancing their cultivation levels and regulated their breathing, he let them go back first to prepare for the relocation to Yun County, as Yun County would become the headquarters of the Listening Wind and Gentle Rain Pavilion.
After Jiang Liu returned to his own courtyard, he began to instruct Murong Yin and Feng Yue to prepare for the relocation of the Listening Wind and Gentle Rain Pavilion.
Now, Feng Yue has gradually joined the management of the Listening Wind and Gentle Rain Pavilion. She is familiarizing herself with the situation while learning from Murong Yin, since she is new to this and doesn't know anything.
However, in order to help Jiang Liu and prove that she was also a useful person, Feng Yue studied with utmost seriousness.
Murong Yin is currently mainly in charge of the affairs of the Listening Wind and Gentle Rain Pavilion, while he mainly focuses on gathering intelligence for Ascension Tower, since Murong Lie has advanced in rank and has much more time.
In this way, Murong Yin wouldn't have to pay much attention to the affairs of Ascension Tower, and could gradually free himself up to focus on the affairs of the Listening Wind and Gentle Rain Pavilion.
When Murong Yin withdrew from Ascension Tower, he brought some people with him, which increased the manpower of the Listening Wind and Gentle Rain Pavilion.
Two more days passed, and there was still no news from Qin Bailian. Jiang Liu decided not to wait any longer and ordered the two women who were already prepared to set off for Yuncheng with the main force of the Listening Wind and Gentle Rain Pavilion.
Jiang Liu sent Fire-Winged Monkey to secretly guard them, Jiang Liu would catch up later. After all, the main force was too slow. With the Fire-Winged Monkey protecting them, Jiang Liu was confident that no one could harm them.
However, the Fire-Winged Monkey still needed to be disciplined from time to time. At least the day before the trip, Jiang Liu made an excuse to discipline it again, saying it was for training.
This way, the Fire-Winged Monkey will look at Jiang Liu with increasing awe, become less scheming, and more obedient.
For the next two days, Jiang Liu spent two quiet days alone.
That day, Jiang Liu prepared to leave Wind City.
Jiang Liu stood at the city gate, looking at Feng Yi, and said to him, "Don't you want to go and see Yun City?"
Feng Yi smiled and said, "What's the point of going there? We can't beat them in a fight. Going there will only make us a laughing stock."
Jiang Liu looked at Feng Yi. Although Feng Yi looked relaxed, he couldn't hide his dejected expression.
Yes! Everyone is young, how can he be so depressed? But he sees his peers surpassing him one by one, while he is still standing still.
If this psychological gap isn't properly managed, it can truly lead to a complete breakdown.
Moreover, Feng Yi is almost thirty years old and is still stuck at the Seventh Grade, while Jiang Liu is already Grandmaster. This is really discouraging.
"Alright! Since you don't want to, I won't force you," Jiang Liu said helplessly.
Feng Yi nodded, indicating that he understood.
"If you need anything, or require help, just tell me, and I'll do my best to help you," Jiang Liu continued.
Feng Yi hugged Jiang Liu and patted Jiang Liu on the shoulder, because this was his first true friend.
Jiang Liu patted Feng Yi on the shoulder, then turned to say goodbye. He then flew onto the Frostwing Dragon and headed directly towards Cloud City.
Feng Yi stared blankly at Jiang Liu's disappearing figure for a long time.
At that moment, a figure appeared beside Feng Yi. "What? Regretting it?"
"No, it's just that I've lost a friend I can chat with," Feng Yi replied.
"You really don't want to go to Yuncheng?" Feng Boyun asked.
He wanted to ignite Feng Yi's fighting spirit, because he was afraid that if things continued like this, Feng Yi would become discouraged and lose his will to fight.
"Grandpa, do you think I'll give up?" Feng Yi turned to look at Feng Boyun and asked.
"Isn't that right? You're probably the weakest among your peers right now," Feng Boyun curiously.
"Of course not! I'm just lamenting that I've lost one more excuse to go out drinking with brothels! My wife at home is getting stricter and stricter, it's all my mother's fault!" Feng Yi said with a mournful face.
Feng Boyun looked at his grandson speechlessly, really wanting to give him a good beating first, since he had been worried about him before.
No, I'd better beat him up first to vent my anger. With that thought, Feng Boyun rolled up his sleeves and raised his fist.
Suddenly, screams of agony rang out from outside the North District.
Murong Lie stood in mid-air, watching Jiang Liu's departing figure, lost in thought.
