Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

Chapter 952: Chapter 296: Forget It If You Won’t Say! A Whole Night of Pity! (Part 6)

”You can’t calculate it by days; it has to be calculated by the hour!”

Yuchi smiled and politely declined, ”There will be opportunities in the future.”

Goodbyes are just goodbyes.

This visit of Yuchi’s was indeed rather rushed, spontaneously heading straight to Cuncha City. The whole affair in Cuncha City spanned just a day or two.

So many things happened: first was the martial arts contest to choose a marriage partner, then came the matter of his disciple Xiahou Xuexiang, followed by Yuan Xuan and the banquet, and so on.

”There will still be chances to meet again, and when I see you next, you might have all grown up.”

”Remember to eat more papaya milk; I know there’s no scientific proof, but eating it gives peace of mind.”

”Good luck!”

Yuchi laughed shamelessly.

The two young girls blushed; though reluctant to part, they had no choice but to wait for the next meeting. They glanced at each other’s figure and muttered, ”Bah,” at one another.

Bu Tingyue: ”Plain and ordinary.”

Yu Yao: ”Flat and smooth.”

Laughing, Yuchi temporarily bid farewell to the two from the Celestial Craft Workshop. After a brief conversation with Bu Huoran, he left.

...

Riding a carriage through Cuncha City, Yuchi traveled with Xiahou Xuexiang towards the outskirts of the city. Since the matters in Cuncha City were temporarily settled, by usual routines, a summary was in order.

Feeling the carriage’s bumpiness, he grumbled about its lack of a good suspension system, pondering on the events of the past days.

”I can make a basic judgment: that my arrival in Cuncha City was a wise choice.”

”Not only did I receive five million from Yuan Xuan, but I also got half a million from Yu Yao. Combined, that’s five and a half million. Even after giving Yuan Xuan a million in elixirs, I still have four and a half million left—truly a huge fortune!”

”Adding my original two million, it’s now about six and a half million. Wow, six and a half million! That’s enough to elevate the Ascension Gate to a higher level!”

Once the Ascension Gate advances, it will significantly speed up the disciples’ cultivation rates and greatly enhance my own cultivation speed—an upgrade worth prioritizing. Now, with Zong Qianqun of the Spirit Storage Stage guarding the sect, it should be safe enough!

So once I return, I’ll upgrade our Ascension Gate to a higher realm right away, even though it will immediately reduce my fortune to one hundred and fifty thousand. But the long-term benefits will surely be high, as it allows for more relaxed training for the disciples and boosts the efficacy of elixirs.

After taking elixirs, one still needs to absorb the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. The more abundant it is, the better the results. Spending five million all at once is a bit painful to think about; the money barely warmed in my hands before it was gone. Considering my wife gave me a hand at this juncture, I’ve come to terms with it.

”I wonder when I’ll meet Yuan Xuan next, and if there’s a chance to bring Yuan Xuan into our Ascension Gate.”

Yuchi looked up at the sky and muttered to himself: ”Probably not even the scriptwriters would know.”

Besides the money, there are other benefits.

”Now I have a status at the Celestial Craft Workshop as Bu Tingyue’s brother. Although this position holds no real power, I now possess a badge of the workshop, granting me insider prices once there.”

”I hope insiders don’t cheat other insiders.”

From past experiences, insiders tend to deceive insiders the most. After all, outsiders aren’t capable of such deception; it’s cheating those who understand you deeply, all while pretending to be family.

I hope this isn’t the case here.

The Celestial Craft Workshop shouldn’t deceive a simple, adorable Yuchi, right? I’m holding onto this persona tightly.

”Besides that, the most, most, most, most important factor is my disciple, Xiahou Xuexiang.”

Unable to resist glancing to my right, behind me followed a young lady with impeccable features and figure, though her presence wasn’t very pronounced. Her eyes were filled with worry even now.

Xiahou Xuexiang must be quite anxious.

She was initially calm, as having a sect didn’t seem like a big deal to her—going to visit was fine. But then Yuchi took her to the Celestial Craft Workshop, and she felt a bit uneasy; could this be a sect related to the Celestial Craft Workshop? That must be quite prestigious.

Then last night, witnessing Yuchi and Yuan Xuan conversing, despite sitting silently on the side, she could still feel the equal gaze Yuan Xuan directed at Yuchi, without any sect leader’s oppression.

This was particularly crucial.

She had joined twelve sects altogether—twelve! Elders and sect leaders looked at disciples in such a way that was absurd. Disciples contributed gold to the sect but in return were given elixirs as if they were doled out for free, demanding disciples’ eternal gratitude and blessings for these ”gifts.”

Yet Yuan Xuan didn’t look at Yuchi in this manner, so even though she hadn’t publicly claimed a strong relationship with Yuchi, at least they were on equal footing.

Oh my God.

Just how powerful is this sect? And this young master, Yuchi, beside me—what kind of existence is he? If I, such a jinx, join his sect and don’t do well, I’d be kicked out, right? Where would I go then?

Back to Cuncha City, maybe? People would laugh at me! What should I do to stay within his sect? How can I make him somewhat satisfied with me?

I don’t know...

I’m unsure...

I don’t understand...

I really want to cry...
