"I'm happy. How could I not be happy?" Miao Yi cupped his fists and smiled. "Congratulations!"
Sikong Wuwei immediately burst into wild laughter. He was indeed overjoyed. To a cultivator, this was truly a joyous occasion. It was impossible not to be happy.
Beside him, Miao Yi asked, "Sikong, your cultivation has improved. When do you plan to drag the Celestial Sage down?"
"Ugh …" Sikong Wuwei couldn't laugh anymore, as if someone was strangling him. How could he say such things? What would happen if word got out? He glared at Miao Yi and said angrily, "What do you mean? Are you purposely trying to ruin my mood? "
Miao Yi sighed. "Zhao Fei came yesterday and left after showing off to me. Now you're here to show off again. You two are taking turns. What's so great about being able to fly around? I say, are you two going to let me live? "
"Jealous! I get it now. You're jealous. Naked jealousy! "Sikong Wuwei was amused. He pointed at Miao Yi's nose in disdain.
"Don't think too highly of yourself. Jealous? You only reached Red Lotus First Grade after cultivating for two thousand years. It's not like I haven't seen cultivators with amazing cultivation speed before. What's there to be jealous about? " If he had to be jealous, he should be jealous of Yan Beihong. Miao Yi couldn't be bothered to bring up Yan Beihong. He was already a Hall Master.
"You …"
Before Sikong Wuwei could spit on his face, Miao Yi had already grabbed his wrist and dragged him to Raincloud Pavilion. "Let's go! I'll set up a feast to celebrate! "
"That's more like it!" Sikong Wuwei scoffed.
Needless to say, after a few cups of wine, Sikong Wuwei entrusted the matter of the Third Grade Transcendent Artifact to Yao Ruoxian.
Yao Ruoxian couldn't help but sigh. He felt that he had hidden his skills well enough, and business still came knocking on his door. His skills were truly dazzling. He couldn't hide it even if he wanted to!
After watching Sikong Wuwei fly away, Miao Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly. If everything went smoothly, he would only break through to Blue Lotus Sixth Grade in a year!
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't jealous of Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei. Since ancient times, everyone had been envious of birds that could fly freely in the sky. This was the dream of mankind from the moment they were born, and it was also the desire of the cultivators who roamed the earth.
He watched as his friends broke free from the shackles of the earth and soared freely between the heavens and earth. Only he himself was still running around on the ground. When he looked up at the sky, he felt so small. How could he not be envious?
It was understandable that Sikong Wuwei and Zhao Fei had reached this realm, but Yan Beihong, who had stepped into the world of cultivation at about the same time as him, had also reached this realm. On the other hand, he was still a long way from reaching this realm. He couldn't help but say in his heart, You have to work hard! When the gap was too wide, even the best of friends would grow apart, because you could no longer keep up with them!
For example, the relationship between him and Chen Fei was a good example. It was no longer possible for them to become friends as equals. He could be easy-going, but Chen Fei had to scrupulously abide by the hierarchy. In front of him, he was already a well-behaved subordinate. To Chen Fei, his words were like a decree. A friend had become a trusted subordinate. There was no going back to the past!
A few days later, Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei sent over a large amount of refining materials. This time, the two of them had spent a lot.
They had no choice but to spend a lot, because they both understood that in the face of a higher level opponent, they needed to have the ability to protect themselves if they wanted to survive. Otherwise, they would always be meat on the chopping block. Once someone wanted to chop them up, it would only be a matter of a single slash. Only by turning into a porcupine would they think twice before attacking.
Just refining the core of the transcendent artifact alone, the two of them had spent about eight million low-grade Orbs of Will worth of items. And that wasn't even the best kind. Each of them prepared twenty-five Third Grade Yao Cores. A single Third Grade Yao Core was worth a million low-grade Orbs of Will, so twenty-five of them would be twenty-five million low-grade Orbs of Will.
Just for these two items alone, the two of them had spent over thirty million Orbs of Will worth of items. Including the other materials and Yao Ruoxian's exorbitant wages, each of them had spent nearly forty million low-grade Orbs of Will on their full set of equipment.
Let's do the conversion. Out of the three hundred sets of Second Grade Armor Artifacts that they had each received in the Sea of Constellations, Miao Yi and Sikong Wuwei had spent almost two hundred of them in one fell swoop. They had truly gone all out. There weren't many people who could use a full set of Third Grade Transcendent Artifacts when they had just reached the Red Lotus First Grade. Once they were fully equipped, unless they encountered a very powerful enemy, most people in the Red Lotus realm wouldn't be able to do anything to them. Even Hall Master Shen Huaixin might not be their match. This was clearly the reason why the two of them had gone all out to forge a full set of Third Grade Transcendent Artifacts.
Miao Yi couldn't help but sigh. He realized that it was pretty easy for Yao Ruoxian to refine artifacts to earn money. Why did he have to live such a pitiful life? Not only did he have to hide all day, he even had to sneak into the Sea of Constellations to be hunted down like a thief.
At the same time, Miao Yi guessed that Wen Fang was grinning from ear to ear. Just the commission alone was enough to earn her a fortune. She hadn't been the Manager of Raincloud City for many years, so she was most likely going to be promoted soon …
The news of two Red Lotus cultivators breaking through at the same time within the borders of Suppressing Tenth Hall was truly shocking news. Even Traversing Water Palace's attention was drawn to Suppressing Tenth Hall.
Now that they had reached the Red Lotus realm, Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei couldn't hide it anymore. There were rules, and the killing power of cultivators at this level was obviously different from before. They had to be closely monitored by the various palaces, and they had to report their actions in time. Otherwise, they would be severely punished!
Many people in Suppressing Tenth Hall were ready to watch the show. Now that the three Advisors and the three Manor Heads were on par with each other, it was going to be a good show to watch.
While the news was still spreading like wildfire, Traversing Water Palace had already sent out a decree to Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei. The Palace Lord was summoning them!
The two of them went to Miao Yi's place to discuss the possibility of the Palace Lord summoning them.
However, they couldn't be sure. Everything could be good or bad. In the end, the two of them flew away together.
On the island in the middle of the vast lake, Miao Yi slowly became a tiny dot as he looked up from the rooftop …
Surrounded by waterfalls, there was no way to ascend the perilous peak. However, there was a majestic palace at the peak, which meant that mortals couldn't reach. This palace was called Traversing Water Palace!
The Assembly Hall was covered in fluttering gauze, and it was airy in all directions. It was like a pavilion floating in the air, giving off an otherworldly feeling.
The hall was empty, with the gauze fluttering in the wind. Only Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei stood side by side, waiting quietly.
Not long after, a rhythmic tapping sound could be heard. This wasn't the first time the two of them had heard this sound. They had heard it back on Jade Capital Peak, and their expressions turned solemn. They knew that the Palace Lord, Granny Tao, had arrived.
Tao Qingli walked over from behind the two of them, supporting Granny Tao. The two of them quickly moved to the sides, creating a space in the middle.
When Granny Tao arrived, the two of them cupped their fists and said, "Your humble subordinates, Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei, greet the Palace Lord and the Advisor!"
Granny Tao chuckled as she walked past the two of them. She raised her hand and said, "You may dispense with the formalities!"
After she passed, the two of them returned to their original positions, facing the front together.
After Tao Qingli helped Granny Tao onto the Palace Lord's throne, she stood to the side and observed the two of them. Among the Manor Heads of the 'Iron Triangle' that trapped Tranquil Sun Manor, she had only seen Miao Yi before. This was her first time seeing these two.
"I brought the two of you here from the Overlord. It's been over thirty years now, hasn't it?" Granny Tao asked.
The two of them cupped their fists and said, "Yes!"
"You don't have to be so reserved. Just like that guy … Among the three I brought here back then, there's still that kid who didn't come. Yes, his name is Miao Yi. Qingli, what did he yell at you again? "Granny Tao tilted her head to look at Tao Qingli and asked.
Tao Qingli was taken aback. She pondered for a moment, then replied, "Miao Yi said, 'It's not like I haven't met any big shots before. I've met all ten Palace Lords of the entire Fifth Earthly Branch. I've even met the Overlord before! I didn't even bat an eyelid when I was bathed in blood in the Sea of Constellations. I've slept among piles of corpses and bathed in blood. I've fought alongside the Celestial Sage's disciple. I've swept the grounds of the Western Constellations Palace. I've even sat in the capital city's prison. I've called the Devil Sage's grandson my brother. I've risked my life against the Yao Sage's grandson. Even the Celestial Sage's disciple, Tang Jun, once helped me out of a difficult situation. I've also met all the people around the Six Sages … That's about it! "
'Ugh!' Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei quietly glanced at each other. They were a little speechless. 'Miao Yi actually yelled at Tao Qingli like that? Why didn't he mention it before? Isn't he a little too bold? '
"Is that so? Since the three of you are in the same group, I'm sure you've been through a lot as well. You've all been through so much already, so there's no need to be nervous. I don't have any other intentions today. I just wanted to have a chat with you all. "Granny Tao smiled.
Down below, Sikong Wuwei let out a dry laugh and said, "We've been in prison with him before. He's also the only one who's done things like sweeping the grounds of the Western Constellations Palace. In any case, those were mostly unlucky things. The two of us don't have as many messy experiences as him."
Zhao Fei furrowed his brows slightly. 'But when I think about it, those were all unlucky things. Isn't being in prison bad luck? That guy seemed to have been forced to sweep the grounds of the Western Constellations Palace as well. After that, he kept complaining about it. Fighting the Yao Sage's grandson was even more unlucky. He almost lost his life that time. If it weren't for the fact that he ran into some bad luck, Tang Jun wouldn't have helped him out. And when he met with the Overlord and the ten Palace Lords in the capital city, it seemed like he was almost taken away by Lan Hou as well.
Thinking about it, there wasn't much good news to be had. It was just that Miao Yi made it sound so impressive when he said it. Those who knew better would probably laugh their heads off. 'How dare he brag about it and scare people like that?'
Granny Tao asked, "Were you two friends before you went to the Sea of Constellations?"
"Of course not! We got to know each other after we went to the Sea of Constellations, "Sikong Wuwei replied.
"You guys came to my Traversing Water Palace together. You guys caused trouble together. You guys even fought together. You guys truly live together! That's why I'm curious. There aren't many people in the cultivation realm who are on such good terms with you guys! "Granny Tao sighed.
'Fight? Cause trouble? ' Sikong Wuwei's expression froze. 'You're not here to settle the score with us, are you?' He sneaked a glance at Zhao Fei.
Zhao Fei cupped his fists and replied, "The three of us went through thick and thin together in the Sea of Constellations. We relied on each other to survive, so it's only natural that we're on good terms with each other. However, we're definitely not people who like to cause trouble. At most, we won't offend those who don't offend us first!"
