Fugui, Just Look at Your Luck

"Was this all done unilaterally by the Flower Spirit Sect? The Five Symbols Sect's response, however, is rather domineering."

"The Five Symbols Sect is quite astute in doing this. Regardless of whether it's truly as they say, once this marriage alliance is finalized, the Azure Cloud Sect will likely not stand idly by."

"But in the current situation, we've probably offended even the Flower Spirit Sect. The Five Symbols Sect wasn't on good terms with the Azure Cloud Sect before, and now, I'm afraid they'll soon be unable to seek help from anyone."

The response from the Five Symbols Sect may have surprised some, but it was also somewhat expected.

After all, the current situation is what it is.

The failure of the marriage alliance was not entirely unexpected.

"However, the Azure Cloud Sect has already announced its cooperation with the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, so why hasn't it taken any action yet?"

This has raised questions on more than one side.

Judging from the Azure Cloud Sect's previous annexation of the Mystic One Sect, it is by no means a power without ambition.

Now, with the help of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, things are surprisingly Jingjing.

Even regarding this marriage alliance, there has been no word of it.

That's very strange.

Azure Cloud Sect.

After reading the Five Symbols Sect's response, Yuan Hou spoke softly.

"The Five Symbols Sect has shown considerable foresight in their actions this time."

He was well aware of the Flower Spirit Sect's intentions regarding this marriage alliance.

It's nothing more than the Flower Spirit Sect trying to use the Five Symbols Sect as a shield.

Although the Five Symbols Sect is currently unable to make a decision, the Flower Spirit Sect is not concerned about the Holy Land's stance.

However, the Flower Spirit Sect is primarily composed of female cultivators.

Annexing the Flower Spirit Sect is nothing special.

Even better, they could annex the Five Symbols Sect, using this as a warning to intimidate the Flower Spirit Sect and force them to submit.

In this way, the territory of the Azure Cloud Sect can be further expanded.

This will also help enhance the influence of the Azure Cloud Sect.

But the problem then returns to the Five Symbols Sect.

"Such a response suggests you've already felt the pressure. It's just a pity; if possible, I certainly wouldn't allow your Five Symbols Sect to remain."

Yuan Hou stood up and made a decision in his heart.

Now, even the Flower Spirit Sect is starting to act up.

The Eastern Region is also waiting to see what the Azure Cloud Sect will do.

He himself couldn't wait any longer.

We can't wait any longer!

Let's urge the Holy Land again.

Cloud Heaven Holy Land.

"My Lord, news has arrived from the Azure Cloud Sect."

There was a sound coming from outside the house.

The Holy Lord looked up and asked:

What is it?

"Just like last time, asking for their opinion on the Five Symbols Sect," the voice replied.

Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord frowned and murmured:

"He's quite adept at abusing his master's power, but his haste in doing things and his unauthorized release of information show that this Yuan Hou is hardly capable of great responsibility."

"Going there in person would be troublesome..."

The Holy Lord's face showed a thoughtful expression, as if he was weighing something.

After a moment's thought, the Holy Lord unleashed a beam of light and said:

"Go and summon these elders."

"Yes."

The sound faded, and the breath vanished.

"Now that the preparations are complete, let's do what we haven't done yet."

Currently, the focus of the Holy Land is on waiting for the Ancestor to break through and become a Saint, while his own father is also overseeing the effort.

On the contrary, I've found myself with some free time lately.

Some things, once you've said you'd do them, you absolutely must do them.

I went there specifically for this purpose; I hope I won't be disappointed.

At the window, the Holy Lord spoke softly.

On Hidden Origin Peak.

Lu Changzhi got up and walked around for a moment, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Where did the system go?"

Calculating the time, it's already been longer than the last time it helped me gain an opportunity.

However, it seems that I don't have the function to check the system's whereabouts on my end either.

"It seems that even if you go there, you can't just believe everything you hear."

Shaking his head, Lu Changzhi sighed.

Just then, Jin Fugui walked over from a distance.

Lu Changzhi regained his composure and looked over.

It must be said that the effects of the Marrow Cleansing Fruit on people are indeed significant.

It's not just about cultivation and aptitude.

Appearance and temperament will also be affected to some extent.

Looking at Jin Fugui today, it's hard to connect him with the waiter he was at the restaurant back then.

"Master."

Upon approaching Lu Changzhi, Jin Fugui bowed.

Lu Changzhi smiled slightly and asked:

"Is something the matter?"

As they spoke, Lu Changzhi used the system to check Jin Fugui's personal information.

His aptitude has already reached the High-Grade Heaven Rank.

Although the improvement this time was much less than the previous one, which went from Lower-Grade Yellow-Rank to Supreme-Grade Profound Rank, it was still significant.

But for ordinary people, even with the most precious treasures, it becomes increasingly difficult to improve as they progress.

"Reporting to Master, we have already finished all the Marrow Cleansing Fruit from last time."

Jin Fugui spoke up.

"Good."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi nodded in satisfaction:

"This time it was much faster than before."

As he spoke, Lu Changzhi was about to take out another Marrow Cleansing Fruit.

Seeing this, Jin Fugui said:

"Master, I feel that it's not very effective anymore, so I'll stop taking it."

"Is it not very effective again?"

Lu Changzhi paused, then pondered for a moment.

"Real?"

"Fugui would never lie to his master," Fugui said earnestly.

"Then this..."

Lu Changzhi fell into deep thought.

Even after using so many Supreme-Grade Marrow Cleansing Fruits, the improvement was only this much.

Everything fell short of my expectations.

However, we don't have anything of better quality to offer right now.

"If Master has nothing else to say, then Fugui will go and cultivate now," Jin Fugui said.

For some reason, he felt a sense of relief.

The Supreme-Grade Marrow Cleansing Fruit is of extraordinary value, and each time I eat it, I am filled with complex emotions.

But the Supreme-Grade Marrow Cleansing Fruit is already the best; there's probably no need to eat such precious spiritual fruits anymore.

At that moment, Luo Ling'er's voice came from afar:

"Master, Master."

"The wine that Ling'er brewed is ready."

Lu Changzhi's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands, looked at Jin Fugui, and smiled with admiration:

"Fugui, look at your luck, how wonderful it is!"

Jin Fugui's expression changed, as if he had thought of something, and he tentatively asked:

"Master, this wine, could it be...?"

A terrifying thought suddenly popped into his mind.

"Clever."

Lu Changzhi nodded and smiled:

"Guess correctly and you'll get a prize! Come on, let me give you a jar first."

Although the Marrow Cleansing Fruit has reached its maximum value, it will receive a bonus after being brewed by Ling'er.

What does this tell us?

There's still room for improvement!

My previous praise for Jin Fugui's luck was a heartfelt sentiment.

After finishing the ordinary dishes, I had my own specialties.

After finishing the finest food, the brewed wine has arrived.

There's no worry about not having enough to eat or drink.

A short while later, Lu Changzhi looked at the results of the brewing, took out a jar, and handed it to Jin Fugui.

Jin Fugui held the wine jar, unable to recover for a long time.

Once upon a time, in an inn, I overheard someone talking about the Marrow Cleansing Fruit, saying that if one had the chance to taste even a small piece, one could die without regrets.

And now, I...

"Same as always, remember to come find me after you're done drinking."

Lu Changzhi offered a reminder.

This wasn't him forcing Jin Fugui's growth, but rather because Jin Fugui's improved aptitude was related to his status as a disciple and the continued upgrading of the online store.

"I wonder if this jar is enough to elevate Fugui to the Spirit Rank level."

With that thought in mind, Lu Changzhi silently reserved another jar for Jin Fugui.

The next morning.

Before I could wake up naturally, Cang Wenyu's voice entered my mind.

"Changzhi, how did you sleep?"

"The sect is in big trouble. If you're awake, come over right away."
