Originally, Su Yu thought that Wang Hong was gone, and presumed that Xue Yingxiang and her two children would leave Bai Yue Immortal City. But unexpectedly, he saw her and her two daughters again outside the Pill Pavilion a few days later.
And when Xue Yingxiang saw Su Yu, she knelt down with a haggard face.
“Pill Master Su, you are the most capable person I’ve ever met. Please take us in. We have nowhere else to go.”
No way out? Su Yu’s eyelids twitched, wondering what big trouble it could be.
As it turns out—
Because Wang Hong was gone, Xue Yingxiang couldn’t find a job to make money. The spirit stones she got from selling a lower-level magic artifact before were barely enough for her and her daughters to stay in Bai Yue Immortal City for a few days. That was the limit.
With nowhere else to go, Xue Yingxiang knelt down before Su Yu with her daughters.
Su Yu looked at her and then at the two innocent young girls who were now fearfully kneeling with their mother, pleading him.
After some hesitation, Su Yu said, “You’re a cultivator at the fifth level of the Qi
Refinement realm. You might not hold much importance in Bai Yue Immortal
City, but you won’t be out on the streets outside the city either. You can take them back to your mother’s home.”
Xue Yingxiang sobbed, her face a mix of fright and confusion, and said, “I am an orphan, it was my husband who brought me to the Immortal City.”
“Now that my husband is gone, I… I don’t know where to go, and besides, I don’t understand spells—”
Xue Yingxiang looked at Su Yu with tear-filled eyes and begged again: “Please, Pill Master Su, I can be your servant and slave, as long as you provide Xiaoxi and Xiaozhi with food to eat and a place to live.”
Wang was taking care of a delicate beauty, huh.
She’s a cultivator but doesn’t know anything.
Beyond looking after the children, she took care of Wang’s daily living. No wonder she never resisted the continuous abuse from Wang, she was used to it.
After pondering for a moment, Su Yu said, “Come with me.”
He led Xue Yingxiang and her daughters into the Pill Pavilion. Yu Qianqing, Xu Desheng, and Kang Yunnian were startled upon seeing them, their faces a bit strange.
What’s this about?
After Su Yu explained, the trio’s expressions returned to normal. He calmly declared, “Business has been okay recently at the Pill Pavilion, and there are some loose ends to tie up. So, let’s keep the three of them here for now.”
“Friend Xue can do miscellaneous tasks, and as for the two girls, I can see they have spiritual roots too. Although they are lower-grade spiritual roots, I think it is fine for them to apprentice under Old Xu and Old Kang.”
“Both of you are all alone. Having disciples by your side as you age is a good thing.”
Yu Qianqing’s gaze was still searching on Xue Yingxiang, sizing up her substantial peaks, and making the inevitable comparison with her own. There was a hint of resentment in her heart.
It’s just a bit bigger, that’s all.
On the other hand, Xu Desheng and Kang Yunnian, hearing these words, had their eyes shining, and their hearts were moved.
Indeed.
Both were already over seventy, it was about time to admit they were aging.
If they could have disciples by their side, it would be like having children to take care of them in their old age.
Whenever they needed assistance, they could count on them.
“Alright, we’ll take them as our disciples,” cheerfully replied Xu Desheng and
Kang Yunnian.
The girls were originally named Wang Xiaoxi and Wang Xiaozhi, but remembering Wang’s frequent abusive behavior, Su Yu felt a bit of disgust more or less towards him. So, he decided to change the girls’ surname on the spot.
He renamed them Xue Xiaoxi and Xue Xiaozhi, keeping the same surname as their mother, Xue Yingxiang.
Xue Yingxiang, being accustomed to submissiveness, didn’t dare to refuse.
After arranging a place for the mother and the two daughters to live in the Pill Pavilion with Old Xu, Su Yu and Yu Qianqing went to the backyard: “Your alchemy has shown some progress recently, but it’s still not enough. The most obvious shortcoming is that your Divine Sense is not strong enough.”
“So, next, I will help you refine your Divine Sense.”
That day, other than his alchemy practice, Su Yu stayed in the Pill Pavilion and guided Yu Qianqing in alchemy.
Using the Golden Cicada Method along with his own powerful Divine Sense to pressure Yu Qianqing, forcing her to resist it with her Divine Sense; this way she was exhausted again and again, then recuperated and exhausted again.
Her Divine Sense became stronger little by little through this grinding process.
The neighbours in the alley were slightly afraid after hearing about Wang’s fate.
After Lan Xi and Lan Gong heard that Su Yu had taken in Xue Yingxiang and her two daughters, the sisters began to look at him a little differently. After all, Su Yu normally did not resemble the typical patrons of the Drunken Immortal Tavern; he was usually quite reserved.
But
Xue Yingxiang is indeed quite attractive.
See how the artifact refiner next door looked at Su Yu with envy and jealousy when he heard the news, wishing he could replace him.
However.
Su Yu had no interest in these matters. His Dao heart was firm, and everything was as usual.
He put all his energy into cultivating, every day following a routine. The proficiency of his Green Wood Year Ring Skill, the Crocodile Demon One
Hundred and Eight Style Body Refinement Technique, the Mysterious Heavy Earth Tactic, the Golden Cicada Technique and other cultivation techniques and spells were all growing steadily.
As the proficiency of the Green Wood Year Ring Skill gradually approached one hundred percent, the excitement and anticipation in Su Yu’s heart grew.
The Foundation Establishment Realm, was not far off!
A few months later.
Hu Xiu, the caretaker of the True Hall, visited again. He brought Su Yu to the True Hall to meet Xu Wansheng, the third disciple of True Man Bai Yue, who rumor had it was quite handsome. Su Yu felt that he could at least compete with him.
Xu Wansheng was not much older than Su Yu, only about forty years old.
As for his cultivation, it was not just at the initial stages of the Foundation Establishment Realm, as the rumors had it.
He had reached the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Most importantly, Xu Wansheng was a high-tier second-rank alchemist and artifact refiner.
Upon meeting Su Yu, Xu Wansheng sat in the primary seat of the True Hall, his expression indifferent as he sipped tea, glanced at Su Yu, and said, “Su Yu, low-tier second-rank alchemist, ninth level Qi Refinement Realm.”
“However, you are not like you say, an alchemist of the Yu Family.”
Su Yu raised an eyebrow, hesitated and asked, “I’m not quite sure what Hall
Master means by that.”
Xu Wansheng placed his teacup down and said, “You have quite a talent, so I want to present you with an opportunity! Join my side in the True Hall, refine pills for me, and I will reward you with a Foundation Establishment Pill. If you can successfully breakthrough, then I will reward you with the heritage of a high-tier second -rank alchemist. ”
Su Yu shook his head and said, “I apologize, Hall Master, but I currently don’t have such intentions. Besides, I am already a servant of the True Hall, doesn’t that mean I have already joined the True Hall?”
Xu Wansheng gazed intently at Su Yu and slowly said, “You know what I mean.”
Su Yu simply shook his head in refusal.
“In that case, Hu Xiu, see our guest out,” Xu Wansheng waved his hand, not causing trouble for Su Yu.
However, after Su Yu left, Xu Wansheng said to Hu Xiu, “Do not assign him any more tasks in the future. Also, do not allow him to exchange anything in the
True Hall, unless he joins the True Hall.”
Hu Xiu respectfully accepted the task and withdrew.
Xu Wansheng looked out pensively through the main door of the True Hall, overlooking Bai Yue Immortal City.
During this time, both his elder brother and second sister were not within Bai Yue Immortal City. Even his master was not present. Besides the core area, he had control over the other areas, including the Spirit Hall and the Battle Hall.
He was deeply intoxicated with this feeling of power.
He did not pay any mind to insignificant figures like Su Yu, because he had encountered many people like him during this period.
Some were spineless, while some were stubborn.
However, in Bai Yue Immortal City, even the most unyielding were powerless before the True Hall.
Either submit or leave the True Hall’s sphere of influence.
“My elder brother, my second sister…Heh,”
Thinking about the two people above him, a glint of disdain and fierce determination flashed in the depths of Xu Wansheng’s eyes. For many years, he had never shown any hint of threat in front of them.
But if he could become an influential figure—
Xu Wansheng retracted his gaze, quietly whispering to himself, “The True Hall is the key.”
Bai Yue Immortal City was only one place, but there were three of them, his elder brother and sister.
So, who would be excluded?
