Qingyue, I'm Here

Yun Jingshan nodded in agreement. "Yes, we often take on sect missions to hunt Demon Fish and search for spiritual materials in the Shattered Star Archipelago. With you here, it's much easier for us to find things, and we can share the profits with you."

Zhou Zhenshan also looked at Wang Mengde and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Wang, you can consider it."

Hou Qing went even further. "Following us guarantees your safety, it's much better than you risking your life alone."

Wang Mengde paused slightly, then smiled and shook his head, "My cultivation level is still low. Right now, the most important thing is to improve my cultivation. As for going to the Shattered Star Archipelago to search for treasure, let's talk about that another day."

The Shattered Star Archipelago are teeming with lesser demons, and even include powerful demons comparable to Foundation Establishment cultivators, making them far too dangerous for him at his current level.

He has Fate Panel, so there are no bottlenecks in his cultivation. He has enough Spirit Stone to cultivate for several years.

Moreover, with his Spirit Eye Technique, he could find a large number of low-level Demon Fish in this sea area, enough to sustain his daily cultivation.

He was confident that he could raise his Peak Qi Refinement within forty years.

He has no bottlenecks in his breakthroughs and can definitely break through to the Foundation Establishment at the age of seventy.

If I could obtain some Seven-Pattern Spirit-Nurturing Pill, I might be able to Foundation Establishment in my sixties.

Therefore, he had no need to risk his life on the Shattered Star Archipelago.

Wang Mengde paused for a moment and explained, "As you all have seen, my spiritual power is not strong enough. I have to stop and recover after casting spells for a while. In this state, I'm afraid I'll be a hindrance when I go to the deep sea with you."

Upon hearing this, the men reacted with varying expressions.

Upon hearing this, Hou Qing curled his lip, his tone carrying a hint of disapproval:

"I heard from Yang Daqiang that you have Five-Element Spirit Root. Five-Element Spirit Root have low cultivation efficiency and consume far more Spirit Stone than someone like me with Three-Element Spirit Root."

With your extraordinary Spirit Eye Technique, joining us on adventures will allow us to quickly acquire vast amounts of resources.

With enough resources, one can purchase large quantities of high-grade pills and spiritual fruits, and have a good chance of raising their cultivation to the Peak Qi Refinement before the age of fifty, or even forty.

"If you continue to save Spirit Stone and buy a Foundation Establishment Pill, you'll have a real chance of achieving Foundation Establishment."

Wang Mengde smiled but did not reply.

For cultivators, the most expensive expense is the elixir needed to break through bottlenecks.

Although he possesses Five-Element Spirit Root, his efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy is low, and when accumulating spiritual energy, the consumption far exceeds that of those with Four-Element Spirit Root or Three-Element Spirit Root.

However, he has no bottlenecks; once he reaches his limit in his cultivation, he will break through naturally.

The resources he needs for cultivation are much less than those of ordinary cultivators with Five-Element Spirit Root.

Seeing his expression, Hou Qing felt a flicker of disappointment and stopped trying to persuade him.

This person possesses such Spirit Eye Technique, yet is so timid and unwilling to take risks. What future can he possibly have?

Although the others didn't say it explicitly, the expressions in their eyes said it all.

Hou Qing pursed his lips and refused to look at Wang Mengde again.

Zhou Zhenshan shook his head slightly, a hint of regret in his eyes.

Li Han remained silent, merely glancing briefly at Wang Mengde before looking away.

Fan Yunzheng was even more direct, letting out a soft snort and muttering, "Having such a Spirit Eye Technique, yet being as timid as a mouse, what a waste."

Yun Jingshan heard this and gently tugged at her sleeve, signaling her to stop talking.

Fan Yunzheng rolled her eyes, but didn't say anything more.

In their view, the path of cultivating immortality is inherently defying the heavens and fighting against fate.

Having such a Spirit Eye Technique, yet daring not to take risks or engage in combat, only wanting to cultivate peacefully, how can one possibly Major Accomplishment?

With Five-Element Spirit Root, cultivation speed is already pitifully slow. Without taking risks to acquire resources, it would be difficult to even reach the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining in this lifetime, let alone Foundation Establishment.

This person is just a minor, Rogue Cultivator with a bit of comprehension.

Zhao Hongying didn't show any surprise, but simply smiled and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions. It's normal for Fellow Daoist Wang to want to improve his cultivation first."

She paused, her gaze falling on Wang Mengde, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.

She discovered that Wang Mengde's Peak Mastery Spirit Eye Technique was truly incredibly useful.

The six of them searched for eighteen days, but found nothing.

He took action and found it in less than half an hour.

Such a person, though unwilling to take risks with them, would be a good candidate if they could learn his Spirit Eye Technique...

"Junior Sister Zhao is right." Yun Jingshan nodded, then looked at Wang Mengde: "I'll come to you later to learn the secrets of the Spirit Eye Technique, and I'll prepare the Seven-Pattern Spirit-Nurturing Pill for you."

Wang Mengde cupped his hands in thanks. "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yun."

Zhao Hongying also looked at Wang Mengde and said, "Fellow Daoist Wang, could you also teach me the Spirit Eye Technique? I'll also prepare some Seven-Pattern Spirit-Nurturing Pill for you."

Her gaze was honest, and her tone was earnest.

Wang Mengde glanced at her and nodded. "Okay, that's fine."

It's just some insights into the cultivation of the Spirit Eye Technique; it's not some closely guarded secret.

It's a great deal to be able to exchange it for Seven-Pattern Spirit-Nurturing Pill.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Zhao Hongying's eyes when she saw him agree.

She raised her hand and waved, releasing a surge of spiritual energy that pulled Wang Mengde onto the Flying Sword.

"Then we'll send you back to the island first."

The Flying Sword pierced the air and sped towards Rosy Cloud Island.

Yun Jingshan and the others followed on their swords.

A moment later, six figures landed on the beach of Rosy Cloud Island.

Zhao Hongying looked at Wang Mengde and said, "After we return and hand over the mission, we'll sell the Blood-Spirit Flying Shuttle's body and send you the twelve thousand Spirit Stone as soon as possible."

Wang Mengde nodded. "Thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist Zhao."

He then looked at Yun Jingshan, his lips slightly moving as he transmitted his voice:

"Fellow Daoist Yun, could you please bring me ten Voice Transmission Talisman to Azure Cliff Island?"

He had previously asked Manager Li of Dawn Glow Talisman Shop to purchase the second-tier Message Talisman, and he received them yesterday evening.

Ten pairs, twenty cards in total.

Upon hearing this, Yun Jingshan nodded slightly and replied telepathically, "No problem, who should I give it to?"

Wang Mengde transmitted his voice, "Please hand this over to Shen Qingyue personally, and don't let anyone else know."

A hint of surprise flashed in Yun Jingshan's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.

He nodded and replied telepathically, "Don't worry, I absolutely won't let anyone know."

Wang Mengde took out ten neatly folded Voice Transmission Talisman from his Storage Bag and handed them over.

Yun Jingshan took it and put it into his Storage Bag.

Zhao Hongying glanced at them, didn't ask any further questions, and said calmly, "Let's go. The mission is complete, and we should go back to collect our reward."

Six figures soared into the sky and quickly disappeared into the clouds.

Wang Mengde stood on the beach, gazing in the direction where the sword lights had disappeared, and gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

He withdrew his gaze and turned to walk towards his residence on Rosy Cloud Island.

Back at my lodgings, I went into the quiet basement room.

He sat cross-legged, holding a Spirit Stone in each hand, closed his eyes, and began cultivating by circulating the Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula.

[The Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula +1]

[Spirit Power Cultivation +1]

Cultivation knows no time.

Three days later at noon.

Wang Mengde was meditating with his eyes closed when a Talisman placed in the corner of the quiet room suddenly emitted a faint spiritual light.

He opened his eyes, got up, walked over, and picked up the Voice Transmission Talisman.

Spiritual energy is infused.

A line of small, neat characters appeared on the Talisman.

"You big bad guy, I received your Talisman. Senior Brother Yun Jingshan said your cultivation has reached the Fifth-Level Qi Refinement. You've progressed so quickly, congratulations!"

Wang Mengde looked at the words and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

This girl still calls him that.

He picked up a Voice Transmission Talisman, pondered for a moment, and used his spiritual power to input a line of text on it:

Have you found dao companion?

After writing, he activated the Talisman, Talisman transformed into specks of light and dissipated into the air.

Soon, a Talisman lit up.

Wang Mengde stood up, took it, and infused it with spiritual energy.

Lines of small characters appeared on the Talisman, much longer than before:

"Of course I didn't. I'm not a big bad guy like you, attracting all sorts of women."
