Su Mu took a deep breath and stared intently at the other person several times, especially at the other person's (·Y·), where he lingered for quite a while.
Yu Guyue was not annoyed by this, but her phoenix eyes were full of provocation, as if to say, "Come on, if you dare!"
"Have you two had enough?"
The eldest princess, annoyed by what she saw, spoke up to stop the two from continuing.
Do these two people think she doesn't exist?!
And what about Su Mu? Is that all there is to him?
The eldest princess was furious, and she glared at Su Mu several times, angry that he could not control himself under Yu Guyue's seduction!
She's not much worse than this demon king!
Little did she know that Su Mu had lost two petals because of this Heavenly Tribulation, and was hoping to get some compensation, otherwise it would be too much of a loss.
Besides, if we knock down Yu Guyue, wouldn't our safety be guaranteed?
"What just happened? Why is there this Heavenly Tribulation?"
Seeing that the two had finally regained their attention, the eldest princess couldn't help but look at Su Mu.
She wanted to know what had just happened, what exactly had occurred.
"Because of Dao Lotus."
Su Mu was a little annoyed, so he said it out loud, wanting Yu Guyue to know the price she had just paid.
If the other party doesn't know, they won't realize their own contribution, and that won't do!
Sometimes reality is like this: you think you're doing good deeds quietly and moving yourself to tears, but if no one else knows about it, then nobody really cares. Unless you truly have no ulterior motives, don't do it that way.
As Su Mu spoke, he summoned the Dao Lotus Dao Lotus, which was spinning rapidly, but now only one petal remained on it.
It looked extremely shabby.
"I see."
As the two looked at the Dao Lotus, they immediately recalled what the remaining Divine Sense had said earlier: that cultivators were highly respected.
With such abilities, cultivators could safely overcome Heavenly Tribulation; who wouldn't revere them?
This is even more controversial than what Alchemist receive.
The problem is, the price for shielding someone from Heavenly Tribulation is far too high—just two flower petals.
Previously, Su Mu tore off a petal, which directly led to the death of a powerful figure!
If you convert it to a different value, it seems a bit uneconomical.
Because two petals could kill two High Antiquity powerful beings, yet now only one Demon Race has reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage, the two women calculated it and felt it was somewhat asymmetrical.
"By the way, your current cultivation level should be above the Nascent Soul stage, right? What is that stage?"
Remembering this, Su Mu quickly asked as well.
Yu Guyue was taken aback. "How could you have such a thought? You're only at the Nascent Soul Late Stage right now."
" Nascent Soul Late Stage? At the Nascent Soul stage, even reaching the Nascent Soul Late Stage requires Tribulation Transcendence?"
Su Mu's heart pounded as he listened. How could it be that the cultivation in this world was at a hellish level of difficulty?
"I've heard that it wasn't necessary in High Antiquity times, but now it's a common understanding that everyone knows."
Yu Guyue pondered for a moment. She couldn't remember when it had become necessary, but it was already a consensus in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Su Mu's heart pounded as he listened, wondering if cultivators needed to Tribulation Transcendence.
Shouldn't it be unnecessary? How are cultivators classified again? Do they cultivate the Three Flowers Gather at the Crown?
"Alright, let's go back now."
With a wave of her hand, the princess summoned a flying boat that appeared before the three of them.
After boarding the flying boat, the three were somewhat pleased. The Demon Tribulation Transcendence; those mischievous lesser demons should behave themselves now, right?
That way, things won't get chaotic.
The three returned to the capital. The eldest princess hurriedly left, as she had some matters to attend to regarding the Demon Tribulation Transcendence.
Yu Guyue followed Su Mu back to the courtyard, but she went into seclusion after returning. She had just successfully Tribulation Transcendence, and although her cultivation level had increased, she needed to recuperate and stabilize it.
Suddenly, Su Mu was all alone again.
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Su Mu went straight back to his room and returned to Earth.
These past few days, while staying in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, he's taken a little time to return to Earth to clean up some of the trash in his room.
"Hmm, the house is finished?"
Su Mu had just finished throwing out the trash when she saw a text message from Zhou Jianhua.
That's incredibly fast!
I looked through the messages the other party had sent me, as well as the photos of the house; it was a retro-style villa.
Su Mu looked at it with great interest and replied that she would move in as soon as possible.
We can cancel the lease on the apartment here, then head to the Qinling Mountains, and while we're at it, we can also use the Thousand-Year Spirit Milk.
Previously, because there was no suitable place, this Thousand-Year Spirit Milk was still in the Storage Ring.
Su Mu packed up, told the landlord she was canceling her lease, and then easily went to the Qinling Mountains. Su Mu had packed all her personal belongings in her Storage Ring.
When we arrived at the Qinling Mountains with ease, a brand-new villa appeared before us.
There was a spiritual spring nearby, and further away was the Dragon Vein; the surrounding area was extremely clean.
I reckon when I wake up in the morning and open the door, I'll see layers of clouds and mist.
"Could you help me buy some fruit tree seeds, and then clear a space below to plant them?"
Su Mu sent a message to Zhou Jianhua, reminding him that he wanted to help his best friend. He planned to plant some fruit trees and water them with some spiritual spring water.
Let's see if the fruit that grows tastes good. If it's really delicious, then I'll have my best friend sell it. We should go for the high-end market; we could probably make a lot of money.
If that doesn't work, just get some prescriptions. Anyway, with the Immortal Cultivation Realm as a resource, it's very easy to get my best friend to make some money.
Zhou Jianhua didn't know what Su Mu was up to, but it was a minor matter, so he simply sent someone to handle it.
In the past few days, several institutions, including the Environmental Science Research Institute and the Environmental Science Planning Institute, have successively uploaded research reports on Huaxia Environment.
The report indicates that various pollution indices in Huaxia have dropped sharply, reaching a level that makes the area extremely habitable. The loss of sand in a section of the Yellow River is gradually decreasing, and it is estimated that it will take some time for the Yellow River to become crystal clear.
The yellow sand washed down by the Yellow River originally contained a lot of organic matter, which could fertilize the soil. However, with the presence of the Spirit of the Dragon Vein, this amount of organic matter has become negligible.
These days, Zhou Jianhua is basically in a constant stream of meetings, all concerning the changes that Huaxia is currently facing.
He never imagined that he would one day enjoy these meetings so much, because the various reports presented at the meetings were so satisfying to read.
"Are these all changes in Huaxia today?"
At this moment, in a secret meeting room, a group of blond, blue-eyed middle-aged men frowned as they looked at the report on display.
The report shows that Huaxia's environment is gradually improving. Some places that were previously difficult to grow trees are gradually becoming green, and the amount of harmful substances in the air has decreased significantly.
All of this indicates that Huaxia is facing tremendous changes, and the other side may have mastered some kind of advanced technology!
