Immortal Sect, Qingfeng Star.
In the months after ng Yu had left, Zhuge Caihua and Bai Qianqian had been managing Qingfeng Star, diligently expelling the influence of the Immortal Sect and transforming it into a rear base where ng Yu could feel at ease.
Many bigwigs of the Immortal Sect had also begun to shift from hostility towards ng Yu to a willingness to cooperate with him, making ng Yu even safer on Qingfeng Star.
When ng Yu returned this ti, it was drizzling lightly outside.
Each ti he returned, ng Yu would spend a month at the base in complete silence, not going online or making phone calls, quietly practicing swordsmanship and martial arts until he could teleport again.
In the past half-year, he had achieved the fifth layer of Foundation Establishnt and had reached the Middle Stage. His Four Great Sword Intents had matured further, and he was able to spar with Golden Cores without being at a disadvantage, though his cultivation fell slightly short.
Everything was going very smoothly, but ng Yu knew he was rely walking a tightrope.
Growing Golden Lotus had frightened many, but it was also one of his last cards to play, and inviting three hundred Golden Cores to the Western Wastes was a risky move.
If a Golden Core went mad, if soone attacked him, if a Divine Beast or Nascent Soul of the Immortal Sect infiltrated, if...
Many ifs, fortunately, none had happened.
He was truly lucky.
From the storage bag, he took out Fairy Taohua.
Just like now, he was about to take a risk; he could not wait a month but had to resurrect them imdiately.
Otherwise, soone might suspect that he needed a month to cool down after traveling.
His finger touched Fairy Taohua's face, and quickly, her withered appearance rapidly restored, blooming like a lotus into exquisite beauty, her eyes opening.
She looked at ng Yu with a smile brimming with joy, yet she reached out to stop ng Yu from resurrecting anyone else.
"Can we talk?"
She said, desire flickering in her eyes.
Outside, the flowers blood brightly, and her blush was like that of peach blossoms.
After she had confessed that day, ng Yu had not responded, continuing to live like an ascetic.
ng Yu was not an old fuddy-duddy, but when a man is committed to great tasks, he shouldn't ss with romantic relationships, at least not until everything is over.
Now, the task was half completed.
"No."
ng Yu's expression hesitated, then, he still shook his head.
If they got close now, it could still be detected or slled by soone.
Ignoring Fairy Taohua's lancholy, ng Yu began to awaken other True Sages.
One by one, the True Sages woke up, each giving ng Yu a look of resentnt.
This ti going ho, many were reluctant to leave, including a joint request... Well, that last part didn't happen since everyone was respectable.
ng Yu knew that everyone had taken advantage of the Superior Spirit Stones, but he didn't say much, giving enough face to them, and as Golden Cores, they naturally maintained their dignity.
Seven months, and a thousand Superior Spirit Stones were consud by everyone. Simply put, ng Yu had lost nearly four hundred Superior Spirit Stones!
But indeed, no one really wanted to co back.
"Thank you, sisters and brothers, for your help. I am very satisfied with this operation. If there is a chance, we will work together again."
ng Yu chatted with everyone, shaking hands, expressing his gratitude.
He was indeed very appreciative of these high-quality Golden Cores from the Immortal Sect; they were serious about their work, adhered to the contract, did not overreach, and had none of the tactics of brutal plundering that left nothing alive. They conducted themselves properly, respectful towards ng Yu in public and private, earning him the label of a Son of Divinity Transformation.
This was a successful working trip that left everyone satisfied.
"Sisters and brothers, regarding the paynt, due to the limitations on transport capacity, it has to be delivered in several batches. The earlier Spirit Stones have already been handed over to the Immortal Sect, and here are the related receipts."
ng Yu instructed everyone, never ntioning the matter of them exploiting the Superior Spirit Stones because, without them, how could ng Yu have achieved such a satisfying and unbridled victory, including the annihilation of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect?
Many large firms allocate seventy to eighty percent of total profits to various levels of agents, and this ti, ng Yu did not even provide logistical support, simply letting them co and dutifully work for him!
And they really did a good job.
"Thank you, thank you," he repeated.
Everyone was very pleased.
"Taohua, will you walk with outside?"
ng Yu said with a smile, and Fairy Taohua, initially startled, then joyously ecstatic, followed ng Yu out.
The path through the bamboo forest was long; the two walked in silence.
"Actually, when I was in school, I liked you a lot. Among the flowers of the Immortal Sect, you were the most beautiful."
Both walked out of the great formation, and then, ng Yu gave her a slight smile.
Fairy Taohua blushed.
"We will et again."
ng Yu departed.
...
The twelfth month.
Not long ago, Master Lihua and a group of others safely returned to the Immortal Sect.
Thus, the year-long mission where the Immortal Sect dispatched three hundred Golden Cores to the holand was a perfect success.
In total, ng Yu had transferred one hundred and thirty million Spirit Stones (after breaking through the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, the number of Spirit Stones decreased), none of the three hundred Golden Cores died, ng Yu didn't leave a single one behind, and everyone returned safely; the mission was completed very beautifully.
The only regret was about the subsequent delivery of Spirit Stones; ng Yu ntioned that due to transportation limitations, the remaining Spirit Stones would take a few more years to be fully delivered—these past months of continuous, massive transportation had tired him, so he asked for so patience in the matter.
This slight breach of promise was actually understandable by the Immortal Sect; ng Yu had already delivered seventy percent of the Spirit Stones. Wasn't it reasonable for ng Yu to keep a small remaining amount to ensure his and his family's safety?
...
The Moon-Watching Sect, now the most powerful and mysterious sect in the Western Wastes, had its Sect Leader, ng Yu, send off his fellow senior brothers and sisters a month ago, which brought a sense of relief to the major sects.
Of course, this ti, the great sects very clearly and cautiously warned their mbers not to provoke anyone from the Moon-Watching Sect, especially ng Yu.
He could invite once or twice, and who knows, maybe next ti he might invite a Nascent Soul!
ng Yu's portrait spread across the entire Western Wastes and even in the Central Plains; many people ca to know of him.
anwhile, ng Yu started his true vacation years.
As the Golden Cores departed, the Moon-Watching Sect quieted down.
In the entire sect, there were probably over a thousand living people; if not for these people being involved in many things and entangled with many connections, ng Yu even considered shutting down the Moon-Watching Sect for several decades again.
No other reason, this ti they really had made a fortune.
Now, in the Moon-Watching Sect territory, the amount of various Spirit Stones had reached two hundred and forty million, millions of dium-grade Spirit Stones, and as for superior-quality Spirit Stones, there were a whopping three thousand pieces!
This wealth was enough for ng Yu and the new Four Demons of the Moon-Watching Sect to cultivate up to the Nascent Soul stage.
Well, since Bai Qianqian was on maternity leave, everyone decided to remove her from the old Three Demons of the Moon-Watching Sect, and now the new Four Demons have beco the main force.
Hua Miaochai took charge of the Long River Nine Bends Array; the other three demons also had their own caves. As for going down the mountain to open a marketplace?
Sorry, after experiencing Song Wuqiu and various other events, everyone unanimously agreed not to go down the mountain. It was better to cultivate and level up here comfortably.
ng Yu agreed and assigned a great formation to each person. They would casually visit each other, and if soone felt like it, they would drink so wine and chat. Life was quite good.
If he felt upset, he would visit the underground prison or make a trip to the Great Tang Minor World, where the Spiritual Qi Tide had not yet dissipated, perfect for building foundations and catching up with Liu Qingshuang and the others.
For a while, ng Yu even felt the loneliness of a master.
As the Sect Leader, there were still so daily matters to handle.
For example, today, ng Yu was inspecting the Alchemy Room.
Very few people knew that ng Yu was also skilled in Alchemy. Before he killed Old Liefire, he had seriously considered making a living through Alchemy.
The Alchemy Room was managed by a Foundation Establishnt elder nad Dan Yangzi, who had once received favors from Bu Shixian. During this war, he had also made nurous contributions. At a hundred and eighty years old this year, he no longer had the chance to form a Pill of Completion, but he was very talkative and discussed various anecdotes and history with ng Yu.
"Sect Leader, you could try kindling the furnace too. Alchemy is quite magical, but the trick to mastering it is not difficult. With the fire-elent Cultivation Technique you practice, you could easily produce Alchemical Elixirs..."
The old Daoist eagerly explained the tricks of alchemy to ng Yu and recomnded that ng Yu give it a try.
ng Yu just listened patiently without objecting or showing off. He was a humble Sect Leader.
Compared to his arrogant deanor at the Immortal Sect, he was always a good boy in the Western Wastes. Outsiders only knew him as skilled in Wind-Fire Sword Intent—he even did not tell people he mastered two types of Sword Intent but only ntioned a mixed one. As for the ss of transportation, Void Shifting, Growing Golden Lotus, water-elent and earth-elent Sword Intent, alchemy, and so on, he never flaunted them.
He quite liked being underestimated and also paid great attention to safety.
Even today, within the Moon-Watching Sect, not only did he wear a Third Grade Treasure Armor closely to his body, but also carried his Treasure Sword and Storage Bag at all tis.
This ti, he had offended too many people, whether it be the Myriad Gold Pavilion, various great sects, or the Ten Directions Demon Subduing Hall.
Especially the last one; ng Yu had a profound impression of them, whether it was Song Wuqiu's sword or Senior Brother Fang's strategy of uniting forty-nine Golden Cores, which proved these people were no ordinary ones.
However, ng Yu hadn't thought about reconciling with them. Off with their heads, including utterly annihilating them.
"Give it a try, Sect Leader, alchemy is quite fun, you..."
Dan Yangzi, the elder, was still encouraging him, but suddenly, ng Yu felt a sense of déjà vu about the situation.
How had he killed Old Liefire back then?
Old Liefire's combat ability wasn't inferior to his, but he was killed by the explosion of the Pill Furnace.
The Pill Furnace was actually a deadly weapon; handled correctly, it could be more powerful than ten Divine Thunders. Looking at the thick walls of the Alchemy Room, ng Yu suddenly felt a chill.
He stepped outside.
The next mont, an unexpected change occurred.
