Although he was prepared, Cao Guang still frowned. Four million Spirit Stones was not a small number even for a sect of that caliber.
But there was an even more troublesome matter. Zhong Xihong continued, "Now that there are so many Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators, not to mention the increase in offerings, the most troublesome thing is, where can we arrange cave abodes for so many new Foundation Establishment cultivators?"
Cao Guang frowned again. Cave abodes were a problem. Although Cloud Talisman Sect was not small, it was divided into different areas. They could not possibly have cave abodes everywhere. Moreover, the mountain where the cave abodes were originally concentrated could not accommodate so many people.
"How about this, I'll see if I can arrange a piece of land in the sect," Cao Guang said after some thought. Then he thought of something and asked, "Where's Li Heizi? Why didn't he greet me after coming out of seclusion? Is he embarrassed to see me because he has not advanced enough? "
You might be embarrassed, but he won't be! Zhong Xihong smiled bitterly. "Once he came out, he brought a few friends to Sishui City to drink and celebrate."
"Traitorous disciple!" Cao Guang suddenly roared, scaring Zhong Xihong into leaving.
Just as Zhong Xihong left, Cao Luoxue and the rest walked in. Cao Guang could not lose his temper and hurriedly bowed.
Cao Luoxue laughed. "Cao Guang, who are you venting your anger on?"
Cao Guang then said, "It's that traitorous disciple of mine. This kid actually managed to cultivate one level in two years. What is he doing in the isolation room every day? And after coming out of seclusion today, he did not even greet me and just followed a bunch of scoundrels to Sishui City to drink. "
"Ah! He advanced one level in two years? " Su Jinyi and Cao Luoyu were also in disbelief. Then they thought of a possibility. "Could it be that he has reached a bottleneck? Yes, this person's spirit root is extremely poor. He has either five or four spirit roots. It is already a miracle that he could cultivate to the second level of Foundation Establishment. "
"Yes, I know that too." Cao Guang nodded and sighed. Then, he said angrily, "You said that if you met with a bottleneck or some trouble, you should have told us so that we could help you … I don't know if this kid is stupid, but he actually brought a bunch of people out for a drink. I don't know what this traitorous disciple is thinking."
Seeing Cao Guang's angry look, Cao Luoxue smiled and said, "He's not anxious, why are you?" He continued, "From what I've seen, this kid is cunning and has a deep mind. He's more cunning than anyone else. How could he possibly be a fool?"
Cao Luoyu nodded as well. "According to my observations, the Spirit Qi whirlpool above the quiet room has never stopped for two years. This means that he has been cultivating all this time … If he really reached a bottleneck, he wouldn't be able to absorb Spirit Qi, let alone create such a powerful whirlpool."
Cao Guang's eyes lit up. "That's right, he has been absorbing spiritual energy all this time. But if he absorbs it like that, why is there only one level of improvement?"
Su Jinyi thought for a moment and said, "There are three possibilities. First, it's not his natural ability to absorb Spirit Qi. It could be some immortal beast or immortal beast. If he really is that crazy disciple Ye Kong, don't forget that he has a mutated divine beast. Even if he isn't Ye Kong, the mysterious insect he used to frame Qiu Qianguang shows that he definitely has other immortal beasts.
"Second, he deliberately suppressed his cultivation and used elixirs or some secret technique in order to keep a low profile or avoid the mission.
"Third, I've heard that some basic cultivation techniques require much more Spirit Qi than ordinary cultivators, and the time taken to cultivate is especially slow. That's why I suspect that he's cultivating that kind of technique."
"Uncle-Master Su is really meticulous. I didn't think of all these." Cao Guang thought for a moment and said, "But none of the three seem like it. If Li Heizi is really cultivating that kind of technique, why did he reach the Qi Refinement realm so quickly? It's not like he can change cultivation techniques after reaching the Foundation Establishment realm. Also, if it's other spiritual beasts that absorb Spirit Qi, even a mutated divine beast wouldn't have such a strong suction force. Lastly, it's impossible for him to deliberately hide his cultivation to avoid the mission. I think he's quite tempted. "
After Cao Guang refuted Su Jinyi's three guesses, they all lowered their heads and pondered. What was the problem?
Cao Luoxue even smiled sweetly. This glib-tongued and daring boy really had a lot of secrets. Even four Nascent Soul Grand Ancestors together couldn't figure them out.
The three thought for a while and couldn't figure it out. They could only put this aside and start talking about business.
"What's the movement from the Corpse Yin Sect recently?" Cao Luoyu asked. He was a typical radical and couldn't wait for the passage to open up.
Cao Guang said, "I just received the latest news from our spies there. They stopped."
Cao Luoyu was shocked. "Why? Didn't they say that they had already expanded the spatial rift? "
Su Jinyi was the most meticulous. She smiled and said, "We have spies there, but don't they have spies here? It must be that the coffin-carrying fella found out that the other big cultivation sects in Cangnan Continent have their eyes on them, so they stopped. Especially us, we've brought out so many Foundation Building and Core Formation disciples at once. They most likely stopped because they felt guilty and wanted to see what we were doing. "
Cao Guang laughed and said, "Since they're afraid of us, let's chase those disciples down the mountain."
Linjiang House was the largest tavern in Sishui City. It had three floors and was built near the river. One could eat river food and watch the river scenery. The environment and dishes were all first-rate.
Although there were many cultivators coming and going in Linjiang House, the owner of Linjiang House, Yu Chengfeng, was very nervous when such a large group of cultivators came today. According to his observation, these were all inner hall disciples of the Cloud Talisman Sect. Especially the person in the middle with five golden clouds, he was clearly an inner hall core disciple.
"Immortal Masters, do you want to drink hard liquor or spirit wine? Our tavern also has all kinds of river food, including some low-level spirit fish. " Yu Chengfeng hurriedly handed over the menu with a smile and did not forget to add, "You can pay with gold, silver or spirit stones."
The Wu Country's culture of martial arts was even better than the An Country. Especially when everyone practiced spirit martial arts, they also needed some spirit stones. Therefore, many items in Sishui City's shops had two prices.
"Oh." Ye Kong took the menu and handed it to a few female cultivators. Although it had been seven or eight years since he came to Cangnan Continent, he still retained some of the habits from Earth.
"Ladies first." Ye Kong's gentlemanly demeanor was something that the men in Cangnan Continent did not have. Naturally, it made the female cultivators very happy. Li Yao even whispered to Jiang Wulin, "Did you hear that? Ladies first. Learn more from Hei Zi!"
Jiang Wulin smiled bitterly. Learn from him? Be careful that I bring a few wives and concubines back to see you.
The female cultivators were busy choosing dishes and drinks, while the male cultivators were busy chatting.
Cao Junfeng asked, "Hei Zi, did you really encounter a bottleneck? Tell me, oh, I'm not making fun of you. Tell us so that we can make a decision. "
