Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Chapter 375: Chapter 317: Pauper Combo Meal

”Nonsense!”

It was just stunned, not pretending to be dead.

Regarding the West River Pill encountering a bottleneck, even it was completely caught off guard.

It never thought that the West River would also have a day when it wasn’t effective.

After pondering for a long time, the Artifact Spirit finally thought of an idea.

”It’s not my problem; it’s his problem.”

Han Yu couldn’t help but laugh angrily at this. It was quite rare. Clearly, it couldn’t produce pills yet it was pushing the blame onto someone else.

The Artifact Spirit got anxious on the spot; it wasn’t joking.

”My pills are a line of cause and effect; you have to give to receive, and only if you have a future can you achieve the present.”

”If no pills can be refined, there’s only one possibility: that guy is too poor to bear the side effects of the pill.”

Poor?

No matter how he tried, Han Yu couldn’t imagine a Sect Leader of the Upper Three Sects being labeled as poor.

In terms of cultivation, he reached the Realm of Transcendence in his fifties, making him younger and stronger compared to those old men he’d encountered before.

Most importantly, he was also a Divine Power Cultivator. The Artifact Spirit itself said that Xia Wuyou’s Divine Power Tier was no less than its own, which was quite impressive for someone to excel in both areas to such a degree.

This was enough to show that his talent far surpassed most people in the same realm.

With someone like him who owns an entire sect, possessing amazing talent, you say he is poor?

The Artifact Spirit rolled its eyes and immediately refuted.

”Talent is his own capital; it has nothing to do with taking pills.”

Apart from examples like Han Yu, blessed by the Ping, Xia Wuyou reaching such cultivation at this age was definitely also a person of great fortune in the past.

Now, the fortune is certainly exhausted; otherwise, he couldn’t have achieved his current success.

Speaking of divine techniques, he is currently at the Divine Communication Tier, and above that is the Domain Tier. Breaking through to the Domain Tier is incredibly difficult.

Through normal means, he’d have to find a Golden Spirit in the world. Only with the power of a Golden Spirit can he hope to break through the barrier.

Is finding a Golden Spirit so easy?

Searching the world for it is no less than finding a needle in a haystack.

So, the cause and effect of the divine techniques are immense, and he absolutely can’t afford the cause and effect of the West River Pill.

In the eyes of the Artifact Spirit, a person without fortune and without a cause and effect balance is just a huge pauper.

”I certainly can’t count on that Gold Divine Technique.”

Han Yu felt a sense of discouragement.

”Not necessarily.”

The Artifact Spirit had a sudden idea, its eyes sparkled brightly.

It waved its little hands and laughed, ”I can make a poor-man’s package for him.”

Han Yu was stunned, wondering what kind of trick this poor-man’s package was.

The Artifact Spirit chimed in excitedly, ”Here’s the deal: you take the authority and chop down his Divine Power Tier. I’ll then use a West River Pill to help him recover and charge him half of his origin.”

”Are you serious?”

Han Yu looked puzzled, cautiously speaking as he observed the eager Artifact Spirit in his Sea of Consciousness.

At this time, the Artifact Spirit was nothing but ruthless... vicious spirit.

This was effectively declaring war on the entire Nanli Sword Studio, so Han Yu quickly exited his Sea of Consciousness. This thing was truly wicked; it even came up with such crooked ideas.

The scariest part was that he might really be tempted if he wasn’t careful...

”What became of Nanli Sword Studio afterward?”

As the group entered the city at dawn, everyone was curious about what happened next.

Afterward...

Han Yu recalled the scene at that time. A corner of the peak of Nanli Sword Studio was destroyed. During the cleanup after the battle, after listening to reports from the disciples below, Xia Wuyou’s face turned a ghastly pale.

”The disciples’ Little Garden was completely destroyed, and the Nanli disciples would have to camp in the mountains and forests for quite some time.”

There was a side story here: during the post-battle tallying, half of the Little Garden was destroyed by monsters, and the other half was collapsed by Xia Wuyou ringing the bell, which made cleaning up the battlefield quite challenging for those junior cultivators.

Therefore... the smarter disciples simply attributed all battle damage to the monsters.

”How is You Li?”

Coconut couldn’t help but ask.

They knew that when they descended the mountain, You Li had just escaped from the monsters, and afterward, there was no word after being rescued.

Han Yu thought about the look on Xia Wuyou’s face at that time. You Li was probably in trouble this time. As the mighty Saintess, eating all sorts of things recklessly, she nearly played herself to death while also causing such a huge loss to the sect.

”She’s fine; her soul has returned to its place. But after she recovers, she’s probably going to be confined.”

As for how long, it depends on when Xia Wuyou calms down.

At least during this period when her poor junior brothers and sisters were homeless, she didn’t have any hope of getting out.

”You helped a lot. Didn’t they stay to entertain you?”

Cousin teased with a smile.

This touched Han Yu’s sore spot.

Damn, his face was lost; how could he have the nerve to stay?

It was all because of the Artifact Spirit, that brat.

”If you don’t accept it, why not try the poor-man’s package?”

The Artifact Spirit sneered and fueled the fire.

This... better not try!

-----------------

Nanli Sword Studio.

Xia Wuyou had a headache. Didn’t she hold back a bit during the fight? How did it lead to the disciples’ peak getting destroyed?

To restore it, the Mo Family kids are notoriously black-hearted. You can’t ignore them, but if you hire them, it might cost a fortune.

This peaceful and tranquil great place was now in ruins, with walls toppled and rubble everywhere.

It was simply unbearable to look at.

You Li, being both the instigator and the victim, had just recently returned to her soul. She was still listless.

At this moment, she hung her head, waiting to be reprimanded.

This matter indeed went overboard. Despite being warned about the Dragon Blood Stone having some issues, she still insisted on using it, almost getting herself killed.

At the same time, it indirectly caused quite a trouble for the Sect.

She felt things were going bad.

Xia Wuyou gave his disciple a displeased look, suddenly speaking out.

”Ha! I heard you’re not happy with me and the Elders, saying we make you keep up the appearance of a Saintess every day.”

You Li started at once, she remembered it well, her soul was still intact, and what she’d done and said were still in her memory.

Cold sweat broke out immediately, gosh! How did even her inner thoughts slip out?

Xia Wuyou continued speaking.

”And my swordsmanship, though I dare not say it’s peerless, but within the Nine Sects, who dares to compete? You... you used it to stab people’s kidneys, what kind of decorum is that?”

Thinking about this, he felt his old face burning with shame. If word got out that the Nanli Saintess has a penchant for stabbing kidneys, how could the Nanli Sword Studio maintain its dignity? How could he keep his old face?

To be honest, if it weren’t for this incident, he wouldn’t have known how oppressed his disciple felt under the Saintess identity.

Nor would he have known that the swordsmanship he prided himself on was used by this unruly disciple to stab people’s kidneys. Such a fine young lady, not learning good things, but dabbling in such crooked paths. His sword dao clearly followed a grand and imposing path, even if it veered off course, it shouldn’t veer off to such an extent.

”Alright, didn’t it all work out in the end? It’s enough already.”

The Great Elder was also present, couldn’t help speaking out to interrupt. In terms of identity, he was the Great Elder. In terms of seniority, he was Xia Wuyou’s martial uncle.

There had always been a rule in the Nine Sects, that the position of Great Elder must be held by an elder of the Sect Leader. One part to assist the new Sect Leader, the other to have supervisory authority.

”The Magical Treasure for stabbing kidneys was gifted by me, and I haven’t complained, what’s your issue?”

Xia Wuyou turned dark upon hearing this, daring to say that the disgrace wasn’t his, it’s easy to be glib while standing.

Should word spread about You Li’s actions, people would only be interested in what swordsmanship she used to stab kidneys, who would care what sword she used?

The Great Elder grimaced, retort.

”Isn’t this just a blessing in disguise! Girl, explain to your master about your current condition.”

You Li quickly looked down and spoke softly.

”I... I’ve broken through most of the barrier in the Realm of Transcendence.”

Xia Wuyou was taken aback at first, then a flash of joy quickly passed.

It truly was a blessing in disguise, he knew the nature of his own disciple, to put it nicely she multitasks, but after reaching Great Perfection she was at a loss.

Other people’s Mental Realm barriers seemed like an insurmountable chasm to her, the downside of multitasking was the agitation of the Seven Souls, making it impossible for her to achieve Unity of Heart and Spirit.

This time, though she barely survived, it truly was a blessing in disguise. When the Seven Souls were expelled from her body, the realm barrier truly broke for her unknowingly.

As long as there was a breach, further breaking realms would truly become as smooth as flowing water.

”I sentence you to meditate facing the wall at Sword Mountain, and you’ll come out when allowed.”

Xia Wuyou pondered for a while, but in the end, he insisted on the prior punishment.

You Li agreed promptly with her head down like a small ostrich, but the Great Elder was somewhat dissatisfied.

”They’re just buildings, if they’re damaged so be it, no need for that.”

Xia Wuyou, however, was serious, ”The punishment is because she harmed fellow disciples, you also need to consider the influence on the position she will hold in the future, martial uncle.”

As a future successor, harming fellow disciples is definitely a taboo.

If this punishment doesn’t win the public’s approval, no one will respect her in the future.

Meditating on past mistakes is already the lightest punishment.

After You Li pitifully headed to the rear mountains, Xia Wuyou then, somewhat playfully, asked the Great Elder.

”What do you think of that kid?”

Which kid?

The Great Elder didn’t react at first, after brainstorming he realized it was Han Yu.

Xia Wuyou asked naturally because of everything before. Only the Great Elder had deeper contact with Han Yu, if not for the Ginseng King incident he’d be unknown to him at first.

With the events in White Emperor City and Dongling City, Han Yu stood out even more, piquing his curiosity.

”Mysterious!”

The Great Elder thought deeply before giving such an evaluation, seeming unsatisfied he repeated.

”Extremely mysterious!”

According to the Inspectorate’s info, when the Ginseng King appeared, Luo Yuqi could still handle this kid.

Months later, Han Yu wiped out Celestial City Peak single-handedly.

One person crippling eight... six old monsters, can you believe it?

”If you were in his shoes, could you have done it?”

The Great Elder asked back.

It was not mocking at all, quite the opposite. Only he knew how outstanding his martial nephew was back then.

Xia Wuyou’s face tensed, after a long time he shook his head with a sigh.

”Not even close!”

Such a massive leap in two months, not even in a dream could one think of it.

”The pills are also mysterious, every pill this guy takes out is shocking, both in effect and side effects.”

The Great Elder said this, likely recalling the Unparalleled Tower old ghost needing diaper changes daily.

”What do you think about collaborating with the Inspectorate?”

Xia Wuyou switched topics, suddenly involving the collaboration issue.

When it comes to major Sect matters, the Great Elder was no longer so casual, staying silent for a long time.

Collaboration with the Inspectorate actually hinged on two points. One, the Imperial Court wanted to extend its reach into the Cultivator Realm, and they weren’t concerned with this as it didn’t affect their inheritance.

On the contrary, they were pleased, after all, the murky state of the Cultivator Realm was largely due to their Nine Sects’ neglect.

Secondly, the Corpse Refining Lineage had become two agencies’ focal point conflict, participation was the premise of collaboration.

The question of working with the Inspectorate actually involved their view on the Corpse Refining Lineage.

The Great Elder, after long contemplation, slowly spoke, ”Not like good people, the Nine Sects have been deeply embroiled. Our predecessors once exterminated them, yet there’s no record in the sect’s files, something’s indeed fishy.”

”The Nine Sects absolutely can’t remain unscathed, that’d be foolish, collaboration is possible.”

Xia Wuyou agreed precisely, or there wouldn’t be such a huge effort in the Celestial Pride List.

”Out of the blue, such a monstrous figure in the Cultivator Realm emerged, and now the Corpse Refining Lineage keeps appearing, I have a hunch, the Cultivator Realm is bound for chaos soon.”

Once more, the topic shifted back to Han Yu, now Xia Wuyou couldn’t help feeling a slight pang of concern...
