Reward Myself First

On their way to register, several outer disciples came up to check on Wang Kangping after seeing the large bump on his head.

With each additional person showing concern, Wang Kangping's face would visibly darken.

Seeing that the guy was a little upset, Tang Yu comforted him.

"Senior Brother Wang, it was wrong of me to hit you yesterday, but putting aside the facts, don't you bear any responsibility at all?"

"???"

In all his life, Wang Kangping had never heard of such a statement as ignoring the facts.

"Think about it, didn't you say you wanted me to wake you up?"

Tang Yu reminded her.

"I was just saying it casually, why are you taking it so seriously? Shouldn't you be continuing to patiently advise me at a time like this? I almost suspected you hit me on purpose because you didn't like me."

Wang Kangping said, feeling aggrieved, "I can see it now, Junior Brother Ling is a black dog inside."

"If that's how you think, there's nothing I can do. Besides, hitting you is a form of persuasion. Given our brotherly relationship, it hurts me more to hit you."

Tang Yu patted Wang Kangping on the shoulder and sighed.

Wang Kangping didn't really want to discuss this topic with Tang Yu.

His parents often beat him when he was a child, saying that the pain felt by his parents was the pain they felt when they hit him.

Fuck it, he realized when he grew up that hitting children was just a way to vent his anger.

Of course, it was really awesome.

"Seriously, take my advice, brother. Don't be a simp. It's not worth it."

Tang Yu shook her head.

"You don't understand deep feelings, hurry up and sign up, it's right here."

Wang Kangping quickly changed the subject, and after bringing Tang Yu into the house, he had him register.

When Tang Yu was registering the information, she found that there were more than ten disciples from the outer sect who had registered, all of whom were at the Heaven Realm level.

Most of them are at the early stage of the Heaven Realm.

Only he and Ye Qiu were at the peak of the Heaven Realm.

After registration was completed, the outer disciple in charge of registration smiled kindly at Tang Yu.

"I wish you a successful start and smooth entry into the inner sect, junior brother. Take a good rest these two days and prepare well. During the assessment, you will face off against three inner sect disciples. As long as you can win two draws, you will pass."

"Thank you, senior brother. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

Tang Yu casually took out a watch and handed it over as a gift.

"Junior brother, you're too kind. Don't worry, I know some people in the inner sect. I'll try my best to make things simple for you."

Upon receiving the watch, the outer disciple beamed with joy; this Junior Brother Ling Jun was indeed a generous person.

After registering, Wang Kangping took Tang Yu to a place to collect the Focus-Settling Pill.

According to the rules of the Nine Heavens Alliance, outer disciples are entitled to one Focus-Settling Pill at the end of each month.

After signing and receiving the Focus-Settling Pill, Tang Yu held it to her nose and smelled it, but unfortunately, she couldn't tell what the formula was just by smelling it.

So Tang Yu simply popped it into his mouth and swallowed it, immediately feeling the speed at which his internal energy circulated increased significantly.

The main function of the Focus-Settling Pill is to grant a double cultivation buff for one week after consumption.

It's similar to the double experience pills in games.

"You're in such a hurry to take the medicine and start cultivating?"

Seeing Tang Yu swallow it in one gulp, Wang Kangping asked in bewilderment.

"Let's test the effects. By the way, can we refine the pills ourselves? Like, ask the elders for the recipe for the Focus-Settling Pill or something?"

Tang Yu asked curiously.

"What are you thinking? We can't even get into the alchemy room, they won't tell us secrets like the recipe."

Wang Kangping shrugged and spread his hands, saying, "I was even thinking of applying to work in the alchemy room."

What are you going over there for?

"Get more pills to help Xiao Li cultivate."

"..."

Seeing Tang Yu clench her fist, Wang Kangping, knowing he might be in for a beating, quickly made an excuse to slip away.

Tang Yu ignored him and headed towards the small valley where Qiu Xiaozhu lived.

The clothes I washed yesterday are dry, I need to bring them in, otherwise they'll get wet again if it rains.

When they arrived at the small valley, the clothes in the yard had already been taken away.

Tang Yu was heartbroken. How could her master have to handle such a trivial matter personally?

Tang Yu ran over and knocked on the door, then called out, "Master, are you there?"

There was no response from inside the house. Tang Yu called out twice more and, seeing that the person was indeed not there, she picked up a broom and swept up some fallen leaves and other debris in the yard.

After cleaning up, Tang Yu went to find another piece of paper.

"Master, the yard has been cleaned. Just leave the dirty clothes you took off today aside, and I'll come over tomorrow to wash them for you."

"The last one"

After writing it, stick the note on the door.

Tang Yu placed several packs of stockings underneath, a satisfied smile on her face.

Where can you find such a caring disciple as yourself?

These are such thoughtful, pure cotton panties!

After clapping his hands, Tang Yu prepared to go to the waterfall to cultivate.

The Focus-Settling Pill was indeed quite effective. I'll go cultivate over there and check on Ye Qiu while I'm at it.

When Tang Yu arrived, Ye Qiu, whose face was slightly pale, was sitting cross-legged under the waterfall, cultivating.

Upon seeing Tang Yu arrive, he opened his eyes, glanced at her, and nodded as a greeting before continuing to concentrate on his cultivation.

Although his body had not fully recovered, he realized how weak he truly was after arriving at the Nine Heavens Alliance.

He now has only one goal: to break through to the Celestial Realm!

Seeing how focused this guy was on his cultivation...

Tang Yu couldn't help but chime in, "Senior Brother Ye, have you registered yet? It's the assessment for advancing to the inner disciple level in a couple of days."

"I've signed up."

When Tang Yu asked him a question, Ye Qiu could only stop cultivating and frown as he answered.

Just as he was about to continue his cultivation, Tang Yu asked again from the side.

"Are you feeling any better? You still look pale. Why don't you rest?"

"I don't need to rest. I know my own body best."

"Don't push yourself. You should take care of yourself first, otherwise it will affect your assessment in a couple of days."

"I'm really fine."

"Okay, it's alright."

Tang Yu nodded.

Just when Ye Qiu thought the guy was about to quiet down, he suddenly heard him ask another question.

"By the way, Senior Brother Ye, do you have a girl you like?"

"..."

Ye Qiu's face darkened instantly, his Dao heart became unstable, and the calm mindset required for cultivation was completely gone.

"You continue your cultivation; I'm not feeling well and I'm going back to rest."

Looking dejected, Ye Qiu uttered a few words and strode away, his mind in turmoil.

At this moment, his mind was filled with images of Yang Zhilan and Lin Wanxi passionately interacting with Tang Yu in bed.

A surge of anger welled up within him; how could he possibly concentrate on cultivation?

Let me reward myself first!
