Dao Companions Help Me Live Forever

Chapter 132: The Genius Equivalent of Yulan

Since the day Yu Xian helped Master Liu check on her disciple's learning progress,

Yu Xian developed a liking for drinking tea.

Almost every other day, he would go to the teahouse to experience the double service of the super VIP room.

As a man, he was so devoted, always liking what's fresh and beautiful.

So, two months later, Yu Xian returned to his original routine.

Yes, the sense of freshness also disappeared quickly.

However, for Master Liu, her life underwent a significant change.

She discovered that compared to her own disciple, she seemed to have more advantages in the eyes of Senior Yu.

So, she sent her obedient disciple back to the sect gate to cultivate diligently.

Regarding this, her explanation to her disciple was that she had no hope in her cultivation, so she had to dedicate herself to the sect, which was her duty.

As for the disciple, who was still young, her primary task was to improve herself and leave some sense of freshness for Senior Yu, instead of always seeking shortcuts.

She would bear this hardship herself.

From then on, Master Liu resided in the teahouse in the market, looking forward every day, waiting for her beloved.

The female disciple felt that something was off about what her master said, but she couldn't pinpoint it. She could only secretly compete in her heart and come to the market to see her master when she had nothing to do.

Teenage emotions are always poetic.

If she "accidentally" encountered Senior Yu, she would be more than willing to dedicate herself to the sect with her master.

Moreover, in her heart, Senior Yu was handsome, powerful, generous, and gentle.

He gave her a top-quality magic weapon the first time they met and said she was the purest and most genuine girl he had ever met, comparing her eyes to the stars in the sky.

She liked the gentle Senior Yu.

...

However, women were just embellishments in Yu Xian's life.

He could say sweet words to many women, but the ones he truly cared about were always his cultivation partners.

Time flowed forward, never turning back.

In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.

Peach Blossom Residence.

In the Gathering Spirit Array, Yulan sat cross-legged, surrounded by dense spiritual energy that had turned into mist, enveloping her in the middle.

Yu Xian sat at the entrance, holding a beginner's book on talisman-making and reading it.

Recently, his formation technique had reached a bottleneck, and he couldn't create his own unique formation despite having mastered Zhao Laozu's Four-Color Youhuang Formation.

So he decided to change his mindset and draw inspiration from other areas.

The way of runes became his second career choice.

The Zhao family's rune inheritance was also only at the second rank, but it was already sufficient for a Foundation Building cultivator.

Suddenly, Yu Xian's expression changed. He saw a small vortex forming in the gathering spiritual mist, followed by a suction force.

Yulan, who was sitting at the center of the gathering pearl, suddenly opened her eyes. A spiritual light seemed to overflow from her, and the sound of flowing water behind her became continuous, gradually becoming turbulent.

It was as if a small stream had flowed into a great river.

The sound of water gradually subsided, and the spiritual mist was completely absorbed by Yulan.

Yulan finished her cultivation and stood up. There was still some restlessness in her aura, indicating that she had just broken through and couldn't calm down her mana.

From this, it could be seen that her control over her own mana was not yet harmonious.

But she was unaware of this and had only joy on her face.

"Husband, I've made a breakthrough!"

She opened her arms and threw herself into Yu Xian's embrace like a swallow returning to its nest.

"Not bad."

Yu Xian's mouth curved into a smile as he praised, "I've always said that once you pass the bottleneck, as long as you focus on cultivation, you will be able to achieve success all the way."

"In the twenty years since you started cultivating, from having no cultivation to now reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining, it's not too slow. Once you reach the perfection of Qi Refining and stabilize it for ten or eight years at this realm, you can start preparing to break through to the Foundation Building realm."

"During this time, I've prepared some spiritual treasures to assist you in your breakthrough."

"Hehe..."

Yulan just giggled, her face still somewhat dazed.

"Husband, it feels like I'm dreaming. It used to be so difficult to break through a realm, but now you're saying I can reach Foundation Building."

"Simple-minded people have simple blessings."

Yu Xian tapped Yulan's forehead and lifted her up, opening the door to the cultivation chamber.

"Now you're also a little expert. It won't be difficult for you to become an ancestor in some small Qi Refining family."

"Unfortunately, you are just a fake ancestor and can only cast fireball spells."

Yulan nestled in Yu Xian's arms and playfully punched his chest, pouting,

"It's all because you told me to focus on cultivation and didn't let me practice anything else. You turned me into a useless person."

"But I still know martial arts, and I'm quite skilled at it."

"Haha..."

Yu Xian just laughed.

At his request, Yulan was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

She only knew how to cast fireball spells and didn't have any magical tools. Her attacks relied solely on the stack of spiritual talismans in her embrace. As for various cultivation professions, she didn't even need to mention them.

This configuration was even worse than when he was at the third level of Qi Refining. At least he knew a few auxiliary spiritual spells.

But without this purity, her progress in cultivation wouldn't have been so fast.

Yulan was only thirty-six years old, and even if she made a breakthrough in ten years, she wouldn't be much weaker than some talented cultivators from prestigious cultivation families.

For example, Zhao Jia, the second Foundation Building cultivator of the Zhao family, also made a breakthrough in Foundation Building at the age of fifty.

And Zhao Jia was already considered one of the top talents in the Zhao family.

Yu Xian looked down at the charming girl and felt particularly happy.

"There is good news today, so we should celebrate."

...

Because Yulan's cultivation was going smoothly, Yu Xian had been in a good mood for the past few days, smiling at everyone.

Until this day.

Zhao Jia, who came to the door with a brave face, saw Yu Xian smiling and felt relieved. As long as his mood was good, everything was fine.

"Yu Keqing, there are some matters in the clan that Zhao would like to consult with you."

Yu Xian casually asked, "Is someone embezzling my spiritual stones?"

He had always been in a laissez-faire state with the Zhao family, not asking about anything. One could even say that Zhao Shiwen had replaced him and Zhao Jia as the two giants of the Zhao family.

But there was one thing he would never tolerate.

And that was his spiritual stones.

He wasn't greedy. Half of the Zhao family's annual income was enough for him, which was probably around six or seven thousand spiritual stones. As long as it stayed around this amount, a little more or less didn't matter, and he would turn a blind eye to it.

Zhao Jia's heart skipped a beat and quickly said, "Yu Keqing, you are the pillar of the Zhao family. Even if we tighten our belts, we will never shortchange you."

"There are two Qi Refining cultivators in the clan who want to apply for external training. I wonder if Yu Keqing agrees?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Jia's heart was in his throat.

This was a life-or-death question.

The only reason for a Qi Refining cultivator to go out for training was to achieve Foundation Building.

If he were Yu Xian, he would never allow a second Foundation Building cultivator to appear in the Zhao family, except for himself.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to control the Zhao family in the future.

In his eyes, Yu Xian had only broken through a few years earlier than him and was still in the early stage of Foundation Building. If it weren't for the help of Gui Hu, he might not have been captured.

Yu Xian thought for a moment and said, "Let them go, and the clan can even provide some spiritual stones. They are our own people, so don't be stingy.

Of course, you have to pay for these spiritual stones yourselves."

He wouldn't stop the rise of Zhao family cultivators. At least he wanted to give them hope.

Moreover, if a Foundation Building seed were to appear, he would kill it. If this went on for a long time, who knew what would happen? They would all become useless, and who would earn spiritual stones for him?

Even worse, they might just run away.

"What? You won't stop them? What if they come back and try to seize power from us after achieving Foundation Building?"

"What can you do if you don't agree? Don't they have legs? Or do you want to kill them directly?"

Yu Xian looked at Zhao Jia as if he were looking at a fool.

"As for seizing power? A newly breakthrough Foundation Building cultivator, with the protection of the clan's great formation, do you think you can't deal with them? I even hope that they can all achieve Foundation Building."

Not to mention that it's not easy to break through to the Foundation Building realm. Even if they really break through, they will come back and be suppressed as slaves.

Even if they have strong personalities, they can still be used as resources for blood puppets.

Zhao Jia awkwardly smiled.

"Yu Keqing, you have considered everything. I was short-sighted."

He didn't expect the problem that had been troubling him for so long to be so simple in front of Yu Xian.

But how could he know that Yu Xian was already in the later stage of Foundation Building and had Jiang Laozu and the Four-Color Ghost Bamboo Formation as his trump cards?

Even if a Gold Core cultivator didn't appear, even if a group of Foundation Building cultivators came, he wouldn't back down.

Zhao Jia left to carry out his orders.

Yu Xian rubbed his chin and thought of something.

"The auction in Shangyang City should be starting soon. Dan Yang Zhenren is about to return to the sect to report, so we should clear out some inventory and exchange it for some spiritual stones. I have about seventy to eighty thousand spiritual stones on hand that I have no place to spend. I might as well go and pick up some bargains."
