161 Fang Jinyu “Knows How to Do”
Fang Jinyu pondered for a moment. He finally knew why his heavenly book was suddenly completed. It was probably because the mission reward was given to him in advance. The appearance of the two missions also helped him confirm one thing. The book’s stance was indeed neither friend nor foe.
It could prevent an Immortal Ascension stage cultivator from reincarnating, and it could also prevent a fake reincarnator from becoming a real reincarnator. At the same time, the extraordinary book would also support some people.
“So, does the exam in my previous dream mean that I’ve officially been recruited, so now it’s an internship?”
“But, even if it’s just an internship, it shouldn’t be so difficult, right?”
Fang Jinyu frowned. For some reason, he felt that he hadn’t been “recruited.”
It was because the two missions before him might have been because the other party wanted him to retreat.
As an immortal cultivator who had no background and cultivated his way up in obscurity, Fang Jinyu was extremely sensitive in this regard. As his cultivation base grew deeper, he began to believe in his senses even more. It was because he could already see it as a sign of sudden inspiration.
So here was the problem.
How could he retreat?
Fang Jinyu didn’t even know the words of the immortal world!
At this moment, a voice transmission suddenly entered Fang Jinyu’s closed-door cultivation area.
“Junior Brother Yin, the sect leader is looking for you.”
When Fang Jinyu heard it, he couldn’t help but be a little surprised. Since joining the Shenhua Sect, it was the first time he had received a summons from the sect leader. Before this, even when he became the palace leader of the Hall of Rites, he had never seen the sect leader of the Shenhua Sect.
However, Fang Jinyu still had to go since the sect leader summoned him.
Fang Jinyu replied, “Senior brother, please wait outside. I’ll be right there.”
…
The Shenhua Sect, the Megrez Star Hall.
The Megrez Star Hall was where the sect leader lived, and cultivated, and it was also where he usually held meetings.
Although it was the name of the hall, it occupied a huge area.
At this moment, Ye Kuiyi, the Shenhua Sect Leader, put down the teacup in his hand. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Ye Wenting acted too hastily the last time.”
Sitting next to Ye Kuiyi was the head of the Ling family, Ling Tianjing.
He was also the only guest in the Megrez Star Hall at this time.
Hearing it, Ling Tianjing nodded. However, he immediately said, “Martial Nephew Ye is only a step away from breaking through the Nascent Soul stage. If he can’t obtain the immortal seed this time, he can only think of a way after he breaks through the Nascent Soul stage. However, when that time comes, he probably can’t get the immortal seed.”
Ling Tianjing asked with a puzzled smile, “Sect leader, that Yin Wuyi is merely recruited by lord cultivator Yuanyu to help Elder Wen cover up her mistakes, right? Lord cultivator Yuanyu’s intentions are already very clear. Why should you be so cautious?”
They were both from the 17 aristocratic families of the Shenhua Sect, and both of them had a Tianling spiritual root. They had competed with each other and appreciated each other when they were young. Now, they had become good friends for many years because of their interests. Therefore, when they were only two people, Ling Tianjing and Ye Kuiyi’s conversation was very casual.
As long as it didn’t involve the secrets of the two families, anything else, even if it involved Incarnation stage lord cultivators, could be discussed.
Ye Kuiyi sighed, “It’s not that I’m being cautious. It’s just that if Ye Wenting does this, he won’t be able to obtain the immortal seed. This time, there are at least a dozen sect disciples who have their eyes on the immortal seed.”
The Shenhua Sect was undoubtedly strong. There were more than a dozen cultivators who ranked 9 in the Core Formation stage.
As for these dozen or so people, if they didn’t die midway, they would be able to successfully break through the Nascent Soul stage with the full help of their respective families!
It was just that the breakthrough was meaningless for the major families if there didn’t have an immortal seed.
Not only would it be difficult for one to break through to the middle-stage Nascent Soul, but one also couldn’t break through the Incarnation stage. Therefore, even if such a cultivator broke through the Nascent Soul stage, the 17 aristocratic families wouldn’t announce it to the public.
Whether it was cultivation, combat strength, or personal potential, they were completely not worth mentioning when compared to a Nascent Soul stage cultivator with an immortal seed.
The remaining more than 200 families did the same.
These families actually had one or two Nascent Soul stage cultivators, but since their Nascent Soul stage cultivators didn’t have immortal seeds, they didn’t announce it to the public.
It could be said that the Nascent Soul stage cultivators that the Shenhua Sect could announce to the public were all Nascent Soul stage cultivators with immortal seeds.
In terms of the cultivation realm without considering the immortal seed, there might be more than a thousand Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the Shenhua Sect!
“No wonder that kid from my fourth uncle’s lineage hasn’t made any moves. He is as smart as ever.” Ling Tianjing finally understood why Ye Kuiyi summoned Yin Wuyi.
Ling Tianjing asked, “Sect leader, are you planning to remind Yin Wuyi and let him be willing to give up?”
Ye Kuiyi said, “Other than that, I still have to apologize to him regarding Ye Wenting’s matter.”
“I understand. Since that’s the case, sect leader, I’ll go outside and wait for Yin Wuyi.” Ling Tianjing stood up as he spoke. He had known Ye Kuiyi for many years, so he already knew what Ye Kuiyi was planning to do.
“Thank you, junior brother!”
“Sect leader, we are friends. There is no need to be so polite.”
“Haha!”
Both the host and guest were happy. On the other side, Fang Jinyu had already rushed to the Megrez Star Hall. He was led by a Core Formation stage cultivator. The Core Formation stage cultivator was from the Megrez Star Hall, so everything went smoothly.
At this moment, another cultivator appeared in front of him. However, Fang Jinyu couldn’t see through his cultivation at all. He could only vaguely sense that the other party’s divine sense was above his.
Fang Jinyu immediately understood.
Therefore, when the Core Formation stage cultivator bowed, Fang Jinyu also cupped his fists and said, “Disciple Yin Wuyi greets martial uncle.”
“So you are the ‘Martial Nephew Yin’ who Elder Wen recruited?” The cultivator was Ling Tianjing. When he saw Yin Wuyi, he sized him up and nodded slightly.
Previously, he had heard rumors that Elder Wen had misjudged him. Now that he saw him, he understood that it was no wonder that Elder Wen had suddenly thought of recruiting him.
If he only looked at Fang Jinyu’s face, it would indeed be of great benefit to the Hall of Rites.
It was because there were only one or two people in the entire Shenhua Sect who were such good-looking. Moreover, one of the two was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, and the other was a late-stage Incarnation cultivator!
The strongest expert of the Shenhua Sect—lord cultivator Xia Yi!
At the same time, he was also one of the most hardworking experts in the Cave Lake Realm. If it weren’t for the fact that the other hardworking experts were holding each other back, lord cultivator Xia Yi would have validated his cultivation base as an Immortal Ascension stage cultivator long ago.
Over the years, there had never been an Immortal Ascension stage cultivator in the Cave Lake Realm. It wasn’t because the cultivators here weren’t strong enough, but because several hardworking experts had appeared at the same time.
Thus, they fought for thousands of years, and no one was willing to take a step back.
After all, if they retreated, they might retreat for a lifetime!
Ling Tianjing suddenly said to another Core Formation stage cultivator, “You can leave first. I have something to tell Martial Nephew Yin.”
The Core Formation stage cultivator understood his intentions and immediately left after bowing.
“Martial uncle, if you have any orders for me, I won’t say anything.” Fang Jinyu quickly expressed his stance. Of course, he was only expressing his stance.
“Martial Nephew Yin, don’t be nervous. You and I don’t know each other. Why don’t you guess what I want to say to you first?” Ling Tianjing was smiling, looking very easygoing and easy to talk to.
Fang Jinyu didn’t dare be careless. He thought carefully and said, “Is it because of the immortal seed that will be distributed six years later?”
“To be precise, it’ll be five years later. Therefore, the immortal seed will be released a while earlier this time.” Ling Tianjing nodded. He liked to talk to smart people and was able to see through everything with just a little bit.
Smart people always like to protect themselves!
Fang Jinyu asked sincerely, “Martial Uncle, what suggestions do you want to offer?”
“It’s not a suggestion. How should I put it? The immortal seed is too troublesome for you after all, although the benefits are indeed not small.” After saying it, Ling Tianjing left on his own.
Ling Tianjing didn’t think it was necessary to make things clear to a smart person.
Fang Jinyu’s eyes flickered slightly. After thinking for a moment, he walked into the Megrez Star Hall. At this moment, Ye Kuiyi was already waiting.
“Disciple Yin Wuyi greets the sect leader!” Fang Jinyu stepped forward and bowed.
Ye Kuiyi said with a smile, “Martial Nephew Yin, it’s good that you’re here. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it.” With his divine sense, he could naturally sense what was happening outside.
Even if he didn’t sense it, his good friend Ling Tianjing had already informed him through their divine senses that everything was settled.
However, this time, Fang Jinyu looked at the few spiritual items in the jade boxes and couldn’t help but be a little stunned.
Why did a Nascent Soul stage sect leader give a gift to a Core Formation stage disciple?
Moreover, they weren’t ordinary spiritual items!
With a rough sweep of his divine sense, he could easily determine that it was at least a grade-5 heavenly material.
Ye Kuiyi said, “Martial Nephew Yin, to be honest, Ye Wenting is one of my grandsons.”
Fang Jinyu was enlightened.
“Sect leader, if I give up my quota for the immortal seed, will there be any benefits?”
Two Nascent Soul stage cultivators had intervened in the matter. It seemed that Fang Jinyu couldn’t ignore the matter anymore.
It was because the few grade-5 heavenly materials weren’t worth Fang Jinyu betraying the sect.
“Martial Nephew Yin is a straightforward person, so I won’t beat around the bush. No matter which of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures you choose, you can choose all three without worry!” Ye Kuiyi smiled and stated his condition.
The smooth progress naturally made Ye Kuiyi happy.
Soon, Ye Kuiyi could no longer smile because Fang Jinyu had really chosen three “without worry.”
They were lightning-attribute items that suppressed fate.
The pure yang incomplete-soul essence, the dark-mystic thunder, and the chaos annihilation intent.
These three grade 9 heavenly materials and earthly treasures would cause even Incarnation stage lord cultivators to suffer for a while, let alone Nascent Soul stage lord cultivators.
However, even though Ye Kuiyi suffered from losing precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Ye Wenting was Ye Kuiyi’s son. He thought that paving the way for his son was a good deal, no matter what.
“Martial Nephew Yin, don’t reveal this matter to the outside world for now. After you obtain the immortal seed, pass it to Ye Wenting. When the immortal seed enters the body, it needs to be stimulated by the core and then nurtured by the Core Formation authentic energy for 24 hours before it can truly take root. You can rest assured and temporarily keep it in your body. Other than that, I will arrange everything for you.” Ye Kuiyi reminded him again.
“Don’t worry, sect leader. I guarantee that I will hand the immortal seed over to Senior Brother Ye Wenting!” Fang Jinyu promised with a bright smile.
However, Ye Kuiyi didn’t think too much about it. He just thought that Yin Wuyi was happy to get the three grade 9 heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
