Liu Yuanping Visits

It couldn't be helped.

To rapidly increase his cultivation, he had to heavily consume cultivation resources. With the help of cultivation resources, his cultivation speed could increase rapidly.

Otherwise, without a large amount of cultivation resources.

Even with his Three Spiritual Roots talent, even with the Attribute Heavenly Book's help, he wouldn't have this level of cultivation right now.

Sighing, Zhao Huaian thought of the Yellow Dragon Pill's efficacy, then couldn't help but shake his head again: "I can't buy Yellow Dragon Pills anymore. After consuming them in large quantities these past few months, I've developed a certain resistance to them. Next, if I want my cultivation speed to be like before, I'll have to buy Tier One High-grade Pills."

"But there's no rush now. I still have a bottle of Yellow Dragon Pills. Even if the efficacy isn't what it used to be, I shouldn't waste it. I'll absorb it first."

"After I finish absorbing this bottle of Yellow Dragon Pills, I'll head to the market to buy more advanced, more suitable cultivation pills."

Zhao Huaian thought to himself.

As he spoke, he took out the bottle of Yellow Dragon Pills, swallowed them, and sat cross-legged on the ground to cultivate.

Due to the resistance, the Yellow Dragon Pills' efficacy was not as good now, only about seventy percent of the previous efficacy.

He continued to cultivate in his room.

Just as Zhao Huaian was engrossed in his cultivation, a crisp knock suddenly sounded from outside the courtyard.

"Who is it?"

Zhao Huaian opened his eyes, his expression somewhat displeased as he pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard.

He hated it when people disturbed him during his cultivation, as it would delay the growth of his cultivation Proficiency.

"Junior Brother Zhao, it's me!"

Liu Yuanping's booming voice came from outside the courtyard.

Hearing it was Liu Yuanping.

The displeased look on Zhao Huaian's face eased slightly. He forced a kind smile, released the courtyard's Restriction, and opened the main gate.

However, being cautious, after hearing it was Liu Yuanping's voice, he had already taken out a Concealment Talisman and hidden his cultivation at Qi Refining Layer Five.

The courtyard gate opened, and Liu Yuanping and Liu Bohu were standing outside.

Seeing the two, Zhao Huaian smiled: "So it's Senior Brother Liu and Brother Bohu. It's been a while since I've seen you."

Liu Yuanping sized up Zhao Huaian's cultivation and laughed heartily: "Congratulations, Junior Brother Zhao, on breaking through to Qi Refining Layer Five! Looking at your abundant Spiritual Energy, I reckon you'll reach Qi Refining Layer Six in just a few months."

"It's just luck! I broke through to Qi Refining Layer Five three months ago. This is mainly thanks to Senior Brother Liu helping me rent this courtyard. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so fast."

Zhao Huaian said with a humble smile.

At the same time, he also looked at Liu Bohu beside him.

Currently, Liu Bohu was also at the Qi Refining Layer Five cultivation.

However, the Spiritual Energy on his body was somewhat turbulent, and his foundation was not very stable. It was obvious that he had broken through in the last two or three days.

Sensing Zhao Huaian's scrutinizing gaze, Liu Bohu gave a wry smile and said, "It's still thanks to you, Brother Zhao. You broke through to Qi Refining Layer Five three months ago. I'm not as good as you. I'm afraid Brother Zhao will leave me far behind in the future."

Zhao Huaian smiled and comforted Liu Bohu, "This is all thanks to the cultivation resources and environment, plus some spiritual medicines I obtained when I went on missions outside. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so fast."

Liu Bohu nodded and remained silent.

He knew that Zhao Huaian was comforting him.

Because in the past few months, he had also used a large amount of cultivation resources.

Even so, despite rushing, he had only broken through to Qi Refining Layer Five two days ago. This was an undeniable fact.

Seeing the somewhat silent Liu Bohu, Zhao Huaian didn't say anything more. Instead, he looked at Liu Yuanping and asked curiously, "Senior Brother Liu, you usually don't come to me unless there's something. Why are you visiting today? Is there something important?"

In these four months.

Zhao Huaian had only met Liu Yuanping and Liu Bohu a few times.

The two of them knew that Zhao Huaian had been in seclusion cultivating with peace of mind during this period, so they wouldn't come to disturb him if there was nothing else.

Now that the two of them suddenly appeared at his doorstep, they must have come for a reason.

Liu Yuanping nodded and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Zhao is indeed intelligent. Then I won't hide it from you. Brother Hu and I are here to invite you to go to Black Wind Island with us."

"Black Wind Island?"

Zhao Huaian frowned and looked at Liu Yuanping with some confusion, "Black Wind Island is a long way away. Is there anything important there?"

As far as he knew.

Black Wind Island was not under the jurisdiction of the Greenwood Sect, nor was it under the jurisdiction of any other sect. It was a gathering place for rogue cultivators and small sects.

Now that Liu Yuanping suddenly invited him to Black Wind Island, it filled his heart with doubt and confusion.

Seeing Zhao Huaian's confusion, Liu Yuanping explained, "Junior Brother Zhao, do you still remember that I mentioned before that I wanted to take that Sword Dao inheritance to the auction held by rogue cultivators to sell?"

Zhao Huaian nodded, "Of course, I remember. But at that time, Senior Brother Liu was in urgent need of Spirit Stones, so you sold it to my Sword Cultivator friend for six hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones."

As he spoke, Zhao Huaian suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Listening to Senior Brother Lin, that auction held by rogue cultivators is on Black Wind Island?"

Liu Yuanping nodded, "That's right. The purpose of our trip to Black Wind Island this time is to participate in the auction held by those rogue cultivators.

On one hand, our mission team has obtained many valuable items in the past few months, and we can sell them at a higher price at the auction held by rogue cultivators.

On the other hand, we also received some news. We heard that there are quite a few precious items at the Black Wind Island auction this time, and it's even rumored that there will be a Foundation Establishment Pill. So, we want to go and see if we can snag a bargain."

Hearing Liu Yuanping's words, Zhao Huaian slowly nodded, looking at Liu Yuanping with some hesitation. "I roughly understand the situation, but why does Senior Brother Liu want me to go?"

This was Zhao Huaian's doubt.

Logically speaking, the members of Liu Yuanping's mission team should be enough to attend the auction. Why did he need to bring him along?

After all, the strength he displayed on the surface was only Qi Refining Layer Five.

As if seeing Zhao Huaian's hesitation, Liu Yuanping smiled and explained, "The journey to Black Wind Island is very far, and it's not our Greenwood Sect's territory. If we encounter some unruly rogue cultivators, conflicts might arise.

But it's different with Junior Brother Zhao by our side. Junior Brother Zhao has superb Medical Skill. Even if one of us is seriously injured, or ambushed and poisoned, we can receive timely treatment.

Of course, I will prioritize Junior Brother Zhao's safety. After returning from Black Wind Island, I will also give Junior Brother Zhao a generous reward."

"So that's how it is..."

Zhao Huaian suddenly understood.

He knew why Liu Yuanping had suddenly come to him. It turned out he had this plan.

However, he didn't care much about the generous reward Liu Yuanping offered.

After all, he possessed the Art of Drawing Spirit Talismans, so he naturally didn't lack those few insignificant things.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Huaian shook his head and refused, "I'd better pass. After all, Senior Brother Liu, you know I'm a quiet person by nature. My greatest hobby is cultivating in seclusion. This trip to Black Wind Island is too far, and I'm truly not suited for such an important task."

Seeing Zhao Huaian refuse, Liu Yuanping didn't get angry. He just smiled and nodded, "In that case, I won't disturb Junior Brother Zhao any further. However, if someone from my mission team seeks help from Junior Brother Zhao for detoxification or treatment in the future, I hope Junior Brother Zhao won't refuse."

Zhao Huaian nodded and smiled, "That's natural. As long as it's within my capabilities, I will definitely do my best."

"No problem!"

Liu Yuanping smiled, cupped his hands, and left with Liu Bohu.

Watching their retreating figures, Zhao Huaian shook his head and turned back into his courtyard.

However, he didn't cultivate.

Instead, he lay on a chair in the courtyard, gazing at the peach tree in the yard, seemingly lost in thought.
