The crowd at the event was bustling, and the Golden Cores mingled their cups and conversation, among them were scoundrels, maniacs, villains, or saints, warriors, and officials, yet now everyone was gathered together, talking about a beautiful future.
Often, people's stinginess, shalessness, and ruthlessness are just because they are impoverished and thus feel compelled to act in such ways.
Nobody feared it was a scam, knowing how good a reputation ng Yu had built up before!
As a youth raised under the red flag, ng Yu often reflected on whether he went too far, but in the eyes of everyone from the Immortal Sect and Blood God Sect, this youth was simply a moral paragon!
After the battle with the Wood Elent Golden Cores, he divided the spoils into about ten groups, sending the Spirit Stones back during several trips, never shorting anyone even a single stone.
The Wood Elent Golden Cores were working for him; thanks to the guarantee of Superior Spirit Stones and various other considerations for everyone's safety, no deceit or trickery was involved.
Even the contract breaches with the Immortal Sect—looking into the details, one could only conclude that the Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation mbers of the sect were fools; having taken so many benefits and yet holding his wife, the couple hadn't shared a room for over two years. Just for that, ng Yu getting a little angry was already saint-like!
The gathering was spontaneous, so no special activities were planned—people just got together, ate at a buffet, chatted about everyday topics, and no one even took the initiative to ask ng Yu when he planned on returning, and so on.
Though a part of them harbored malice or ill intentions, most people were simply offering blessings, hoping that the younger generation would grow up quickly to support the crumbling edges of human society and give the elders so relief.
So were rely happy, grateful that you ca here and still rembered everyone.
Under the moonlight, at the banquet, on the high platform, ng Yu looked at everything and suddenly felt a bit moved.
Very well, everything was going smoothly.
He nodded slightly, indicating to everyone, "You guys carry on, I need to handle sothing and will be back in an hour."
His voice was not loud, nor was it boastful; he quietly walked away, then just as quietly arrived at the Quiet Room.
The next mont, he disappeared.
The Blood God Sect lightly handed him a community, and so he departed just as lightly.
Farewell, everyone, we will et again soon.
...
Eternal Night Palace, Sleepless City.
In the Quiet Room, ng Yu opened his eyes.
Everything around was normal, an hourglass marked his departure of exactly three days.
One to a hundred, three days on this side, three hundred days on the other, all was well.
The Storage Bag was empty; ng Yu hadn't taken anything from the Blood God Sect.
Why was the Blood God Sect so eager to provide Magical Artifacts?
Because they knew, whoever hindered ng Yu on this matter was a fool!
When six hundred Golden Cores ca, a portion brought Magical Treasures, and later they sent another batch; moreover, this operation was like using a cannon to swat flies—Mirror twelve had even evolved into Divinity Transformation, how could they lose?
Golden Cores lacking Magical Artifacts were still Golden Cores; at worst they would just seize their opponents' weapons, but the Blood God Sect losing this chance might as well have lost their future!
And this ti, ng Yu just showed everyone, "I really don't care, I just want to help everyone get rich."
"I admit I'm a bit less powerful, but anyone who thinks I'm a fool, I'll just go and collaborate with others to earn Spirit Stones."
Not taking the items from the Blood God Sect had another reason.
How do you know, whatever Magical Artifacts the Blood God Sect brought, wouldn't include extra words, perhaps indicating it's so 'xxx year xxx date', and then people here might say, "Hey, the timing is off"?
Do you know if the Magical Artifacts provided by the Immortal Sect might include any odd bits of intelligence?
These things are just a façade.
No need, let's not take any for now.
...
Soone knocked on the Quiet Room door; these three days no one had bothered ng Yu, except for Fairy Taohua and Master Lihua, no one even knew ng Yu had left for a while, they only knew ng Yu was in seclusion.
The more one was a Golden Core Master, the clearer it beca that it's pointless to pry into the secrets of superiors.
Fairy Taohua opened the door, her face brimming with a smile as she looked at ng Yu, seeing his smile, neither spoke much, but a thousand words were communicated in their silence.
Three days here equated to over three hundred days for him at the Immortal Sect!
This rascal, who knows what he made the higher-ups at the Immortal Sect turn into.
Even she spent these days with her heart in her throat.
She, of course, opposed doing this and didn't have the courage herself, and although she had tried to talk him out of it, sotis she thought, this thod was truly exhilarating.
"Everything went smoothly, hahaha."
...
The hobody master who had disappeared for three days returned, the two young maids shivering...ah no, felt nothing at all. After all, they were not cats who would miss their master and beco affectionate after not seeing him for three days; it was common for Qi Refinent Practitioners to be in secluded cultivation for ten days to half a month.
They happily prepared exquisite dishes for the master, asking what specialty he would like to eat, and they would rush out to buy it.
The hobody master who had disappeared for three days walked on the main street, still unnoticed, even with two middle-aged n with pained expressions and sallow faces following behind him, no one paid much attention.
Sleepless City was still bustling as ever, such people were countless here.
Different from before, this ti ng Yu had no sword at his waist but carried a knife on his back instead.
The knife was four feet long and a bit wider, sowhat resembling a cow's tongue, with an ancient-looking sheath that bore no distinctive features.
After being gone for three days, Sleepless City hadn't changed much, but ng Yu found it extrely interesting, as for him, it had been ten months.
During those ten months over there, he was on tenterhooks every day, cultivating laboriously like a donkey in a work team, and now back here, he really wanted to take a good rest for a while.
He strolled, pausing now and then, and soon arrived at a certain courtyard.
As there was no law to protect outside the Sleepless City, ng Yu, concerned about Hua Miaochai, had her co to the city. The beautiful Flower Demon saw ng Yu and was delighted.
"Huahua, the four of us, let's review the previous situation and see what else is needed, okay?"
Dressed in disguise were Fairy Taohua and Master Lihua. The four started analyzing ng Yu's actions at the Blood God Sect. The two experienced True Sages understood ng Yu's various behaviors, with Hua Miaochai's sole role being to cheer everyone up and serve tea and water.
The review lasted a day and night, ng Yu spelled out the details, and after the diagnosis by the two beautiful older sisters, they concluded that there was no problem, just that it was too risky, and advised not to do so in the future.
Then, Hua Miaochai entered the Storage Bag, and the three returned to the cave abode.
Chatting with everyone about the situation, he reassured them not to worry; there were still about ten to thirty days until the date Mirror Twelve agreed to wake up, and everyone must stay in the courtyard without showing any slips.
"Why have you beco so naggy? Sothing seems off."
A familiar Golden Core showed so puzzlent.
"Feels like...it's been a long ti since we've t?"
"How could that be?"
ng Yu smiled, a simple look on his face.
"Everyone, just wait a little longer."
Then, he told everyone that he needed to continue his seclusion but would be back soon and it wouldn't delay any matters.
...
Ceres.
The distant banquet continued, the Golden Core Masters full of lively conversation.
In the Quiet Room, ng Yu appeared and then summoned Hua Miaochai, Fairy Taohua, and Master Lihua.
With their help, the Positive and Negative Five Elents Formation was as solid as a fortress.
"We are now in the Blood God Sect, in my courtyard, you all stay here for over a month, sort out the trivial matters and then head back."
The Blood God Sect had given them a district, a trendous gift and a test like a developnt zone made ready for use; you always needed to perform accordingly.
Moreover, ng Yu really liked this place, so it was perfect to call over the three adept at setting formations to properly arrange the courtyard.
He had an idea.
Working for the Immortal Sect didn't necessarily an one had to stick to the Old Immortal Gate; one could also visit the Blood God Sect for exchanges, and the Blood God Sect could, in turn, offer more opportunities to everyone.
