But that was all; he paid it little further attention.
With his current cultivation and strength, even the most outstanding Qi Refining Period cultivator could pose no threat to him. At most, they warranted a passing glance.
"Disciple Yan Kai pays his respects to Martial Uncle Liu!"
Yan Kai had not expected the Foundation Establishment Realm martial uncle delivering the notice to be someone he knew. Still, he reacted quickly, stepping closer and immediately bowing before speaking.
"No need for such ceremony. Rise."
"The battle at Spirit Herb Garden C-6 was so perilous, yet you preserved your life and returned safely to Moonwatch City. Well done, Martial Nephew Yan."
Liu Yu offered a faint smile and a word of praise.
His praise was sincere. In such dangerous circumstances, only a handful of the forty or fifty Qi Refining Period disciples had escaped back to Moonwatch City. Whatever the reason, Yan Kai's being one of them was an impressive achievement.
Moreover, he had only been at the eighth layer of Qi Refining at the Spirit Herb Garden, but had now reached the Qi Refining ninth layer. He must have encountered some fortunate opportunity.
Liu Yu had no other designs, however. It would have amounted to nothing more than spirit stones, pills, magical artifacts, and the like. Such ordinary things rarely caught his eye anymore.
"The situation was truly dire. It was sheer luck that this disciple managed to survive."
"It was all thanks to your great blessings, Martial Uncle Liu."
A trace of lingering fear flashed through Yan Kai's eyes. Then his eyes shifted, and he actually began flattering Liu Yu.
"You..."
Liu Yu shook his head slightly and chuckled despite himself. He lifted his teacup and took a small sip, then asked seriously:
"What notice does the Elders Council have?"
