“Master, please rest assured!”
After receiving the task, Kou Xudong immediately expressed his stance, “This servant will definitely supervise everyone and make them work day and night to break the curse for Master!”
“Mm.”
Xu Zhengyang nodded slightly at his words and encouraged him, “If you can accomplish this, I will naturally reward you.”
As he spoke.
Xu Zhengyang directly tossed a Tier 1 supreme Blood Pill to Kou Xudong, saying, “Refine this first.
Now that you’re the HR Director of 6090, your strength must first be enough to convince the crowd.”
Although Kou Xudong still did not understand the exact meaning of this so-called ‘HR Director’ that Xu Zhengyang mentioned,
It didn’t affect his loyalty in the slightest.
He said, “Thank you for the elixir, Master. This servant will repay your kindness with his life!”
“Mm.”
Xu Zhengyang nodded again, gave a few more instructions, and then immediately withdrew his Divine Will avatar, leaving the interior of 6090.
…
In the next instant.
Xu Zhengyang opened his eyes and found himself lying immobile within the Spiritual Pivot Puppet.
He couldn’t help but say, “Although this Spiritual Pivot Puppet allows me to cultivate at the speed of someone with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, the fact that I can't move makes it a bit boring…”
Just then.
Outside the Meditation Room, Su Xiaofang carefully called out, “Senior Brother Xu, Senior Brother Yang from Mysterious Mechanism Peak is here to see you.
Shall I let him in?”
Hearing this, Xu Zhengyang felt a surge of joy. Yang Hong had come at this time—he must be bringing the Moonlight Clear Spirit Pill!
So Xu Zhengyang immediately cast a spell to disconnect from the Spiritual Pivot Puppet and said to Su Xiaofang, “Go and invite him in, then have Xiaotao prepare some snacks and tea.
I’ll be waiting for him at the pavilion in the rear courtyard pool.”
“Yes, Senior Brother Xu.”
Su Xiaofang responded, then immediately split tasks with her sister—one went to invite Yang Hong, the other to prepare tea and snacks.
…
A moment later, at the pavilion over the pool in the rear courtyard of Twilight Shadow Pavilion.
Upon seeing Xu Zhengyang, Yang Hong greeted him warmly. Then, he took out a jade bottle sealed with a Sealing Talisman from his storage pouch.
He carefully handed it over to Xu Zhengyang and said, “Senior Brother Xu, here’s the freshly refined Moonlight Clear Spirit Pill. Please accept it!”
Xu Zhengyang received the jade bottle with a face full of joy and said to Yang Hong, “Thank you for the trouble, Junior Brother Yang.”
“Heh~”
Yang Hong waved his hand casually and said, “It’s no trouble at all.”
As he spoke.
Yang Hong took off another storage pouch from his waist and casually tossed it to Xu Zhengyang.
He then immediately began to feast on the snacks prepared by the Su Sisters, explaining with his mouth half full, “After converting the spirit herbs gathered in the Small World into spirit stones,
My master split half of them and put them in this storage pouch.
He told me to bring them along with the Moonlight Clear Spirit Pill.
There are a total of forty-three middle-grade spirit stones in this storage pouch. Please verify them, Senior Brother Xu.”
“No need.”
Xu Zhengyang casually set the storage pouch aside.
Although “wealth, partner, method, and land” starts with wealth,
As a true disciple of Divine Mechanism Peak, who was dearly favored by both Pei Zhen and Xing Yong, Xu Zhengyang had never experienced a shortage of money throughout his cultivation journey.
Compared to that pouch of spirit stones,
Xu Zhengyang cared far more about the Moonlight Clear Spirit Pill!
So he asked Yang Hong again, “Junior Brother Yang, did Uncle Master Chen mention when the Moonlight Clear Spirit Pill is most effective?”
“Aiya, I was too busy eating and nearly forgot!”
Yang Hong slapped his forehead upon hearing that. He then pulled out a jade slip from his storage pouch and handed it to Xu Zhengyang, saying:
“He did say, but it was too long and I kept mixing it up, so Master just wrote the details in this jade slip.
You can read it yourself, Senior Brother Xu!”
“You…”
Xu Zhengyang took the jade slip with an exasperated look and pressed it to his forehead.
…
A moment later, Xu Zhengyang put the jade slip away.
There were only a few lines inside.
First, the Moonlight Clear Spirit Pill should be taken during the full moon to draw the most moonlight power, achieving the best effect;
Second, it must be taken within three days after breaking through to the Bone Cleansing Realm.
Therefore, cultivators must control their cultivation pace and ensure they break through just a few days before the full moon.
“It’s really just a few lines…”
Xu Zhengyang didn’t finish his sentence.
But when he saw Yang Hong, who had just devoured two plates of snacks and was now reclining on the pavilion bench with a satisfied look and squinting eyes,
He instantly swallowed the rest of his words.
“Hmm? What did you just say, Senior Brother Xu?” Yang Hong asked.
“Nothing,” Xu Zhengyang sighed.
While enjoying this rare moment of leisure, Yang Hong said to Xu Zhengyang with envy, “Senior Brother Xu, your place is really comfortable!
You have your own residence, and two sisters taking care of your daily life…”
At this point.
Yang Hong said with a resentful face, “I’ve begged my master countless times, asking for my own residence.
And maybe a few sisters to take care of my daily life, so I can focus on cultivation.
But Master just won’t agree, and every time I bring it up, he beats me…”
Xu Zhengyang responded speechlessly, “You want a residence so you can focus on cultivation? I can’t even bear to call you out on that!”
Yang Hong chuckled and raised his eyebrows at Xu Zhengyang, “After all that pestering,
Master finally relented a few days ago!
He said that as long as I break through to Tier 2, he’ll immediately build a residence for me at a Spiritual Eye and even arrange maids for me!”
By the end,
Yang Hong’s eyes were glowing with anticipation, his expression full of yearning for a bright future.
Then,
Yang Hong turned to Xu Zhengyang again and said, “Oh right, Senior Brother Xu, that Ye Mingyu from the Azure Peak Sword Sect, after losing to Yan Wuchen last time, reflected deeply on his defeat.
After returning to the sect, he locked himself in their Sword Tomb for a closed-door cultivation retreat.
I heard from Elder Wang, a guest elder who recently traveled through the Azure Peak Sword Sect’s territory, that the guy’s cultivation is now complete.
He’s already preparing for the tribulation!”
At this point.
Yang Hong looked bitter and said, “If nothing unexpected happens, Azure Peak Sword Sect will soon send out invitations to nearby sects, inviting disciples of the same tier to witness the ceremony.
If my master isn’t in a good mood, I’ll probably get beaten again…”
“Ye Mingyu is already preparing for Foundation Establishment?” Xu Zhengyang said.
If Xu Zhengyang had heard this news before—
That Ye Mingyu, who was previously no match for him, would reach Foundation Establishment before him, he might’ve felt extremely bitter.
But now,
With the aid of the Spiritual Pivot Puppet, Xu Zhengyang’s cultivation speed wasn’t just on par—it could even surpass those prodigies with Heavenly Spiritual Roots!
So upon learning of Ye Mingyu’s progress, Xu Zhengyang instead felt a surge of fighting spirit and said calmly, “I’m quite looking forward to seeing what divine abilities he’ll develop after Foundation Establishment.”
“That’s a small matter!”
Yang Hong waved his hand, his eyes flashing, “According to Azure Peak Sword Sect’s tradition, whenever they invite outsiders to witness such ceremonies,
They temporarily open the Sword Tomb!
At that time,
If you can gain the recognition of a spiritual sword inside, you can take it away with you!”
