604 Wishing You All a Happy Shopping in Black Friday (1/2)
”Uncle Sect Leader, you specially came to see me, is there anything important?”
After Feng Yin untied the knot in his heart, the atmosphere in the room became much more relaxed. Wang Lu offered another cup of tea to Daoist Master Feng Yin and asked him his purpose.
Feng Yin took the cup and enjoyed the fine tea of the House of Fragrant Tea, and then said in a soft voice, ”There are two things. One is that you need to make some changes to the current list of participants by adding a few people in.”
”What?”
Feng Yin said, ”Hua Yun had refined the quality of her nascent soul numerous times, and now it has reached the nine-colored nascent soul. She could also become the main force in many of the events in Yuanying Stage group. In addition, Liu Li has also unexpectedly advanced to high-level Jindan, and thus could have a spot in your fighting group.”
Hearing this, Wang Lu could not help but gawk. ”Aunt Hua Yun began refining her nascent soul many years ago, trying to upgrade her seven-colored nascent soul to nine-colored nascent soul, so her success is not a surprise, but what happened to Liu Li? I remember that Fourth Uncle didn't intend to encourage her to advance too fast because of this Grand Competition and thus spoiling things through excessive enthusiasm.”
Daoist Master Feng Yin said, ”It was purely due to her having a sudden enlightenment while cultivating in seclusion, not induced by external force. As a result of that, her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds…”
”Sudden enlightenment? Liu Li?” Wang Lu was stunned. On the immortal cultivation path, having a sudden enlightenment was nothing new, but the conditions for attaining such an enlightenment were very harsh, an opportunity that could be discovered but not sought… Wang Lu himself, after many years of cultivation, had never experienced such a thing called enlightenment.
”Not only Liu Li, but also Yao'Er. After her fight with you a few days ago, she also somewhat became aware. Now, she is in a closed-door training at Spirit Sword Mountain. It's likely that there would be a transformation after that training. In addition, recently, the elite disciples of major sects also had such enlightenments after a rare encounter, either by accidentally discovering ancient ruins, or picking up precious treasures, and some inexplicably broke through the bottleneck that had troubled them for many years.”
Wang Lu gradually frowned. ”Something is not right here. What do you think, Uncle Sect Leader? Is there any conspiracy behind this? For example, is this all because the Earth Immortals are using genetically modified products to extinguish the cultivators of Nine Regions…”
Feng Yin said, ”I have tried to use Stellar Diffraction Technique many times but didn't see any conspiracy behind all this. I only saw that these people have such a strong providence as if they were chosen by heaven.”
Strong providence, chosen by heaven? When Wang Lu heard this, his face gradually sank.
Sure enough, everything in this world had a cause. It was alright if one or two people have a rare encounter, but this rare encounter was now like a wholesale product… It seemed like Nine Regions couldn't bear the loneliness.
It was undoubtedly a good thing to have the blessing of the Nine Regions. The world was boundless that even a strong cultivator was incomparably small. With the blessing of Nine Regions, things would naturally go smoothly...
However, after the deep sorrow that he had experienced one hundred and fifty years ago, Wang Lu knew that the providence of Nine Regions was not always reliable and might even become a weapon in the hands of the enemy.
The Fallen Immortal could manipulate the providence of Nine Regions, and those who succeeded because of providence would eventually lose because of providence. Previously, the more than one hundred people of the golden generation were like chickens and dogs in front of a seriously dying Mr. Feng Yue—being encumbered by their own providence was undoubtedly an important cause.
This extended to one of the reasons why his original soul traveled through the worlds, due to the one word ”providence”—it seemed to him that a body that was not contaminated by the providence of Nine Regions would likely be the key to the decisive battle in the future.
As his train of thoughts drifted him far away, it took some time for Wang Lu to get back his thought and said to Feng Yin, ”It's not difficult to adjust the list. In any case, with the training getting more intensive, there will be several big changes in the list. Those who could not adapt with the training would be kicked out, while the best performers in the reserve team would come in as substitutes, so I have no problem adding a few people in it. Then, what is the second thing, Uncle?”
When it came to the second thing, Feng Yin took a long sigh and then put on a very serious posture.
”As for the second thing…” As Feng Yin spoke, his voice became particularly light. ”Recently, because the current chef of Misty Peak Cafeteria is on a business trip, the cafeteria temporarily invited a chef from Heavenly Fragrant Kitchen… The food of this temporary chef is highly praised. The inner court disciples all said that the previous chef does need to come back, and even Junior Brother Liu Xian strongly agreed to this. I think since you have a close relationship with her, it's better for you to say it to her.”
After he listened to this, Wang Lu looked incredulously at Feng Yin. ”Sect Leader, please make words through your brain before you speak, okay? You knew I have a close relationship with Aya, yet you want me to say such hurtful words to her, do you think her psychological trauma is not deep enough?”
Feng Yin said, ”Um, I'm worried that if other people say it, they would be hacked by her… Previously when she came back with you from the Western Continent, she already has the tyrannical strength of an Earth Immortal, so not many people on Spirit Sword Mountain could resist her sword attack.”
”Then don't take this path to one's own doom! The mighty Knight King of Brettonia with Supreme level strength willing to be a chef for you guys, what else is not satisfying with that? Do you know that with her power level, even her excrement is an elixir for ordinary people?”
”Moreover, you knew that people couldn't resist her sword of victory, yet you still want to provoke her?”
Feng Yin wryly smiled. ”Because we are more unable to resist her Western delicious cuisine. If she cooks some local Nine Regions dishes according to the recipes, that would be fine. However, she just got obsessed with optimizing it with local Brettonia food. It's simply… In addition, recently, she has made many great achievements in the poison group. When the news of this reached Spirit Sword Mountain, it sent the inner court disciples into a panic. Some of them even considered leaving the inner court and running to Carefree Peak to become outer court disciples.”
”…”
”This time, you lied to her using the term of food development, right? Saying that everyone has a good response, right? Then, have you ever wondered what would happen when she returns to Spirit Sword Mountain?”
Wang Lu looked up and his mind couldn't help but conjure the smug face of Aya.
She said, ”After a long period of training, I have mastered the essence of cooking. This time, I set up a feast of more than five hundred dishes of Brettonia for you all, please enjoy!”
