Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

”Doing business with me?”

West River Pill!

Han Yu felt like his face was covered with a pie stuffed with meat and sprinkled with flour, and all he had to do was open his mouth slightly to take a bite.

Ou Mingdong did not wait for someone from the Inspectorate; instead, he received a letter from Gao Feng, and upon reading it, he realized it was not meant for him but was addressed to Han Yu.

Then he handed the letter over to the bewildered Han Yu, and even his cousin curiously craned his neck to look.

The Inspectorate sending a letter specifically to Han Yu? That was indeed intriguing.

The entire letter started with Gao Feng, in his capacity as part of the Inspectorate, thanking Han Yu for his assistance in capturing Ma Zhou and briefly summarizing the Ascension Tower incident that happened that day.

Elder Feng, the cunning fellow, played a role in saving the Tower Master of Ascension Tower. If this guy is really that lucky, he might genuinely start eating the Emperor’s grain.

The letter concluded by mentioning that Ling Wuce would bring three Imperial Court cultivators to White Emperor City, possibly those three blessed with Qi Fortune.

The words were earnest, hoping Han Yu could sell them the pills.

”Sell for what!”

In the Sea of Consciousness, Glass shouted angrily.

Then the tone shifted abruptly, waving a fist and saying again.

”I’ll give it to them for free, and none of them will escape.”

Han Yu twitched at the corner of his mouth. Is it that the West River Pill is about to go moldy?

Not really; each pill is freshly made. It’s just been so long without any use that even an Artifact Spirit like it might get obsolete.

Honestly, this guy is really unlike an Artifact Spirit. As time goes by, Han Yu feels this more and more.

However, since this guy can share authority with Ping and even offer feedback, besides being a little greedy now and then, it doesn’t seem harmful to him.

”You, does this count as having hands in everything?”

Ou Mingdong looked at him with a complicated tone. We’re all cultivators. You’re progressing faster, your strength is greater, but while we’re all still struggling at the bottom, you’re already interacting with the higher-ups.

It’s quite frustrating.

Damn it, I’m still under the Inspectorate’s dispatch, and you’re already so familiar with the high-ups. Judging by the letter, they’re even asking you for help.

The cousin was also somewhat surprised at Han Yu. It’s not often that the Inspectorate seeks help so eagerly. Back in the day, the cooperation involved bargaining back and forth, but looking at this stance, it seems Han Yu could indeed name his price.

If it were Mo Xingzhi, the Inspectorate would definitely have to bleed a bit.

But the reality was, Han Yu was discussing with the Artifact Spirit about giving the pills away for free.

”The path was too narrow before. Never thought that with the Inspectorate spread across the world, those capable of consuming the West River Pill, they might be able to find them even if we can’t.”

Glass seemed thoughtful.

Han Yu disapproved of the hindsight, but agreed with the sentiment.

If they could find three, they might not be unable to find others. The world is so vast; it can’t be just a few people favored by the heavens!

”Don’t wander around today; just accompany me for a stroll.”

Ou Mingdong suddenly remembered something, pulling Han Yu as he spoke.

”You take a stroll, why bring me along.”

Han Yu was interrupted from the Sea of Consciousness, then rolled his eyes at him.

Ou Mingdong smiled bitterly. On normal days, he wouldn’t need him along, but today he’s scared!

The cousin was slightly enlightened and interjected, ”Today is the Dragon and Phoenix Palace’s ranking release.”

Han Yu was stunned. Is the ranking out already?

Doesn’t that mean that many cultivators will gather in White Emperor City today?

This is the headache for Ou Mingdong. With so many cultivators gathered, chaos is easy, and with a Transcendent Realm Ma Mian hidden in the dark.

If a disturbance happens, for ordinary cultivators, he could go with the Palace Guard, relying on his identity as a disciple of the Unparalleled Tower or his position as an Inspectorate Guardian to suppress it.

But Ma Mian is targeting the Inspectorate, just afraid he’ll cause trouble during the release.

——

”Of course, I won’t let Dragon and Phoenix Palace release the ranking smoothly!”

In the wilderness, in a place full of jagged rocks, Ma Mian sat on a giant stone, looking up at White Emperor City.

Last night’s probe was just the beginning of understanding Han Yu. Indeed, as the Black Robe said, this person is extremely peculiar.

With a powerful physical body entirely free from True Essence circulation, not only does it not fit the cultivation methods of the Cultivator Realm, but the Divine Techniques he possesses are also extremely bizarre.

Can one person possess multiple Innate Divine Techniques?

It’s not impossible; the Yellow Springs Mansion can also make that happen temporarily, but this guy is clearly not shaped by external forces, nor is he one of their kind.

The Black Robe and White Robe falling into his hands is not without reason; the power gap was too significant.

Moreover, the opponent seems to be on the brink of competing with a Transcendent Realm cultivator.

If Ma Mian were to evaluate...

He’s a monster!

At such a young age, possessing such strength, if given more time, who knows what he’d become.

This person definitely holds significant secrets!

Within the entire Corpse Refining Lineage’s records, there’s no documentation of anyone progressing as fast as him.

Even the gods in their hearts cannot accomplish this!

”This guy is ultimately a hindrance.”

Continuously disrupting their plans, Yellow Springs Mansion cannot stand idly by.

If you want to oppose them, no matter who you are, you’ll have to bear the consequences.

The Imperial Court is no different.

I wonder if Ascension Tower has received the gift!

Ma Zhou naturally prepared a grand gift for it. From the moment he became his so-called ”stand-in,” his death was sealed.

”The Imperial Court wants to change the landscape of the Cultivator Realm, infiltrating it gradually. We can’t let them have their way.”

Ma Mian suddenly stood up, his robes flaring without wind. He reached out to remove his mask, and behind it was a face shrouded in black mist, making it indiscernible.

The black mist spread quickly, enveloping him in an instant, and then he disappeared. Only the horse-face mask was left on the boulder...

——

”So, you dragged me along because you’re afraid Ma Mian will kill you.”

Han Yu rolled his eyes at Ou Mingdong and muttered.

Ou Mingdong wanted to refute, but considering that if the other party wanted to cause trouble for the Inspectorate, they might indeed attack him.

Bringing Han Yu might really protect him, so he definitely needed to bring him along.

His cousin was excited to tag along, which frightened Mo Xingzhi.

He had no idea what the other party was planning, and if they appeared on the scene, what would happen if things got chaotic?

”I just need to run faster than him.”

His cousin pointed at Ou Mingdong. Even if the other party took action, they would target Ou Mingdong first. Besides, with Han Yu there, they wouldn’t get to him.

”Master Qiu should be arriving soon. Let’s get there first; Master Qiu will join us quickly, it won’t be a problem.”

His cousin said so.

Mo Xingzhi hesitated for a moment but wanted to follow, only to be opposed.

”Sixth Uncle, you’d better not go. If something happens, I still have to look after you!”

His cousin’s words were a big blow. Sixth Master Mo was famously disinterested in cultivation within the Nine Sects, but that didn’t mean he was without achievements. On the contrary, many external affairs of the Mo Family were managed by him.

But this kind of occasion was really not suitable for him to attend.

The three of them, along with a group of Palace Guards, left the city.

”Why outside the city?”

Han Yu was immediately puzzled. In such a big place as White Emperor City, why go outside?

”The Celestial Pride List has five hundred spots, and there’s no space big enough in the city. Dragon and Phoenix Palace plans to hang it on the city wall.”

Ou Mingdong explained while frowning at the cultivators rushing outside together.

Damn it, just a few spots, and it’s attracting so much attention.

There were at least a hundred heads in front of them, not to mention the number waiting outside the city already.

His master was really throwing him into the deep end. Even if they exiled him, they could at least find a better place. In this turbulent spot, something could happen at any time, really frustrating him.

”Aren’t you thinking about asking your sect for help? Unparalleled Tower wouldn’t have a problem sending a Transcendent Realm Cultivator or two!”

His cousin asked curiously.

Ou Mingdong gave Han Yu a strange look and gestured with his mouth, ”If I ask my sect for help, wouldn’t this guy be in trouble.”

What Han Yu did made his master gnash his teeth. If he called his master, Han Yu would be the first to suffer.

His cousin suddenly remembered the scene from the previous conversation. They were all vague about it back then, so he quickly pursued more information.

”You don’t know?”

Ou Mingdong looked at him surprised, given Han Yu’s relationship with him, he should know.

”Sixth Uncle told me not to say anything.”

Han Yu smiled awkwardly.

His cousin’s interest was piqued, and he curiously said, ”Well, he’s not here, so we can just secretly talk about it.”

Han Yu whispered something in his ear, and his cousin’s expression became more and more peculiar. An old monster coming out must mean something happened.

”Goodness, you’ve really offended the elders of the Eight Sects.”

He even suspected that if Han Yu got caught, they’d force him to drink their bathwater in anger. The imagery was unbearable...

”Han Yu!”

A call suddenly came from not far away; Bai Jingliang waved with a grin in the crowd. Behind him was the calm Bai Junya, and beside her was a graceful young man, fanning himself, reminiscent of Ou Mingdong before becoming a Guardian.

As for now, this guy has only been a Guardian for a few days and is already proficient in all sorts of curses...

Han Yu compared the man to Ou Mingdong. Although handsome in appearance, he still didn’t match the previous elegance of Ou Mingdong.

”Isn’t this guy imitating you?”

Just as he said this to Ou Mingdong, he realized both of them were rolling their eyes at him.

Goodness, shouldn’t your focus be on the person hanging around your confidante...
