In the Immortal Sect, there's a joke, even if you're a dog, if you have enough resources, you could beco an alchemist.
What this ans is that besides talent, what's more important for alchemy is proficiency and money.
When a doctor has perford thousands of surgeries, of course, they beco a master surgeon, and similarly, after refining pills thousands of tis, unless you're a real blockhead, almost anyone could beco an excellent Pill Master. However, the consumption of these thousands of tis... even for soone at the Foundation Establishnt, it would be felt as financial pressure.
Right, when ng Yu realized he could develop in a new world, he had two choices for his next enhancent.
ng Yu didn't want to oppose the Immortal Sect, but he needed to prepare for the worst. If certain things happened, he would have no choice but to rebel.
The first option was to continue enhancing his combat strength, to forcefully increase it to the extre and then treat the Immortal Sect like a pig for slaughter!
The laws of the Immortal Sect strictly categorized different worlds, ensuring that even if a Golden Core, with the cultivation suppressed, entered a Minor World where only Qi Refinent Practitioners could survive, they could still be killed by the native cultivators of the Immortal Sect or a descending Death Squad, despite having powerful Divine Souls and formidable Swordsmanship, but lacking in Inner Strength.
But ng Yu was different; he found himself to be a bug!
He, the invincible close-combatant of the Qi Refinent Realm, was now at the Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation. If he could strengthen further to the Ninth Layer or Great Perfection, he would be completely able to dominate the First-Order World of the Immortal Sect, bullying n and oppressing won!
Of course, provoking the Immortal Sect could be very dangerous. The Immortal Sect could blockade a planet, halt all travel, Death Squads could descend from the skies, and forces could arrive, and he would be killed through the relentless human wave tactics of the Immortal Sect.
But now, he had a Teleportation Portal!
What does this represent?
With the Void Shifting ability and robust combat strength, I won't go to the Second-Order World. I'll rob thousands or even more Minor Worlds, becoming the ultimate bandit, and then bring the resources back to this world, amassing enough for a Golden Core or even a Nascent Soul!
Robbing once is thrilling, continuously robbing is forever thrilling. By then, what's yours is mine, and the Immortal Sect is mine too. I'll keep robbing my way up!
The second option, sharpening the knife does not hinder the chopping of firewood, is to lay low first and learn more skills.
Being a re enforcer is a dead-end job. The more capable the enforcer is, the more likely they are to be sent as cannon fodder, especially soone like him who is disliked without any backing.
Alchemy is wonderful. If you have a dangerous mission at hand, would you let soone who can make pills and generate profit die, or would you send a lone expert who only knows Swordsmanship to their death?
Alchemy is great, because not only can you produce your own sustenance, but it also helps to woo everyone, building a variety of relationships. Look at Old Liefire, despite his detestable personality, he still lives well in prison, and even has several wives on the outside.
Acting as an alchemist for reputation, using Formation for substance, when you go robbing, learning Formation is indispensable.
ng Yu hopes for peaceful coexistence with the Immortal Sect, but no matter what, he must prepare himself first. If the Immortal Sect treats him well, he is a law-abiding citizen. If the Immortal Sect wants to use him as cannon fodder, then they can't bla him for turning heartless.
"Alright, I understand."
Wang Fugui left even more subserviently.
...
Days passed by just like this, with ng Yu spending each day in Sword Training, Alchemy, studying Formation, and handling so matters within the stronghold.
The last item, in reality, didn't have much to it.
Many people say that being a boss is difficult, with a thousand threads to manage and various issues that tire one out, but in truth, if you're strong enough, you can completely let go and let others handle it.
ng Yu just took the position of a hands-off storekeeper and then discovered that the developnt of the mountain stronghold was not bad at all.
The people below all worked diligently. They enjoyed good food and drink, there was silver to claim, and they had subordinates to command. The Great Leader was also a good person who did not like to do those utterly heinous acts. To give a simple example, when the three won from the Liu Family were on the mountain, countless eyes were watching, but ng Yu never laid a hand on them, including when eting them, doors remained open and outsiders were present.
Wherever people conduct business, others are watching, and everyone has their own set of scales in their heart.
With such a principled boss, what was there not to be satisfied with?
He also sporadically collected about a dozen spirit stones, although their quality was not the best; even an Immortal Sect foundation establishnt worker on a 996 schedule wouldn't make more than that in a month.
That was until, representatives from the governnt office ca up the mountain.
After killing Cheng Kaiyuan and others, ng Yu had their heads brought down the mountain. Then he went to the local governnt office to announce that Black Wind Stockade was now under new managent, and so on. At the sa ti, he contacted the local big households, informing everyone of the fresh start.
This trip was very smooth. Cheng Kaiyuan had committed evil for many years, but had never been brought to justice until he was killed by a newcor. Both the governnt office and local big households were shocked. This newcor inford everyone that Leader ng did not lack money but simply wished to settle down. He asked everyone to trust his character and said that they could all cooperate and share resources in the future. As a result, not only were the local big households intrigued, but even the governnt office thought it was worth discussing.
The Great Wu Dynasty had been deteriorating for almost three hundred years, and there was an air of decay from top to bottom. The appearance of a new, rule-abiding force nearby was a good thing. Therefore, after so ti of interaction, the chief hunter of the governnt office and representatives of the local big households decided to go up the mountain together and pay a visit to ng Yu.
Those who went up the mountain were all cunning foxes, yet ng Yu, despite lacking in courtesy, treated everyone with equal regard, whether it was an old man with white hair or the chief hunter from the governnt office. His attitude was neither cold nor warm, speaking very firmly, expressing his keen desire to coexist peacefully with everyone and his appreciation for their praise. However, he also made it clear that people should not put him in a difficult position; whether it was debts owed by Black Wind Stockade or hostages that had been taken, it had nothing to do with him. As for those not convinced, they were welco to compare notes with him.
Then, everyone engaged in a lively yet probing conversation, very curious to know just how strong ng Yu's combat abilities were.
Although many hillside villagers vehently claid that ng Yu could summon a Firebird and call down raging flas, just how powerful could soone be if they ended up as a King of the Mountain in such a remote and desolate stronghold?
Yet, observing ng Yu's confident and composed deanor, everyone started to hesitate.
It was the kind of courtesy a superior displays towards an inferior, the humility of 'I am polite to you because I can kill you all at any mont.'
Yes, that was ng Yu's attitude, and he was not afraid at all of others perceiving it.
That was until soone threw three severed heads onto ng Yu's doorstep.
It was the Yu Family, the relatives of the one betrothed to Liu Qingshuang, who arrived at the mountain stronghold in a fury, having killed three guards they encountered on their way.
ng Yu did not witness this scene, but he heard the sound.
"ng Yu, co out and face your death!"
Soone bellowed loudly, and the next mont, ng Yu's body vanished before everyone's eyes.
Chief Hunter Lei from the governnt office was savoring his tea when, in the next mont, his face beca remarkably animated.
And another, a formidable man from the governnt office who was initially all smiles, expecting to see ng Yu embarrassed, also turned extrely solemn.
What did they see, ng Yu disappearing before everyone's eyes?
Disappearing?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was a sudden disappearance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
