Chapter 117: Going for a Meal (1/2)

Ying Lan had just delivered the message when Bai Luochu finished her lunch.

Bai Luochu was also deep in her thoughts. She didn’t know if she should leave behind some questionable advice. After thinking of the consequences, Bai Luochu decided to return to her residence.

Ying Lan’s original intention was to ensure Bai Luochu’s safety. After all, she had too many enemies in her past life. If someone was able to expose her identity, even ten Bai Luochus would be unable to escape from her enemy’s grasp.

On the path of cultivation, the stronger a person became, the harder it became to break the barrier to the next stage. The strength difference between stages would also become larger. It was also the reason why when a pinnacle expert cultivated to later stages, a slight difference in spirit qi would result in defeat. It was because that small difference in spirit qi would mean a difference in cultivation for dozens of years. Furthermore, during these dozens of years of cultivation, the experiences one would obtain through battles would allow them to understand their moves better, improving the foundation and quality of their spirit qi. The small difference in spirit qi was an uncrossable chasm.

When she thought about everything, Bai Luochu suddenly felt calm. Since she had already entrusted this matter to Ying Lan, she would place all her trust in him. This was how a leader should act. In other words, if that person couldn’t resist Ying Lan’s method of making things difficult for him, he wouldn’t be a useful person. Even if they were to forcefully employ this person into their ranks, he would be unable to show off his talents with Ying Lan and Bai Luochu’s attitude towards him. It would only bring about more frustrations.

The current plan and the most important matter was to quickly cultivate her spiritual energy. It would ensure that she would be able to successfully form the contract with the Green Flame Eagle. After all, the Green Flame Eagle was also a superior figure among the spirit beasts, or else, the Phoenix King Valley wouldn’t send out such a huge group in order to secure it.

Thinking up to this point, Bai Luochu quickened her footsteps as she hoped to return to the general’s residence as quickly as possible. She didn’t want to waste another second. The only thing she wanted to do now was to cultivate her spiritual energy.

The moment she entered the residence, Cai Ling came out to welcome her. Before Cai Ling could even speak, Bai Luochu spoke first and interrupted Cai Ling, “Speak after returning to the courtyard.” Bai Luochu quickly made her way back to her courtyard.

In response, Cai Ling broke into a light run as she ran after Bai Luochu.

“Mistress, did something happen?” When Cai Ling saw how cautious Bai Luochu was, she thought that something went wrong during the construction of the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence. She became extremely worried.

Bai Luochu shook her head and replied, “Nothing happened. Someone is requesting for Divine Physician Bai’s help and he knows that we are in the midst of building the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence. He is offering his services and wants to join the construction. The lesser people who know about the construction the better. Ying Lan was unable to make the decision and asked me to head over to the Remote Paddy Inn in order to discuss this matter.”
