Chapter 260: Qiushui Establishes Foundation (Two-in-One Big Chapter)
With Wu Chang's intellect, once he opened the storage bag, he would certainly know where those resources came from.
But so what?
Even if it was a simple act of revenge, would the sect dare to impose severe punishments on its own disciples if they knew?
Don't joke about it; under the rule of the Yuan Yang Sect, although it was not openly stated that disciples of the Yuan Yang Sect were superior to other cultivators in Qingzhou, this phenomenon had always existed in reality.
After thousands of years, it had long become an unspoken rule.
As long as one reported the facts and received a light reprimand, along with some spiritual stones as a fine, this matter would just blow over.
There was no possibility of revoking one's cultivation or expelling from the sect, let alone something more severe.
Moreover, Liu Yu had just returned from the frontlines, having worked hard for the sect; the most they could do was to impose a symbolic punishment. They wouldn't make a big deal over a foundation establishment.
Although there was no Primordial Spirit Restriction set up, if Wu Chang attempted to abscond with funds and reported the incident to the sect, Liu Yu had ways to track him down.
During their brief interaction, several tracking methods had already been planted on him.
These methods were discreet and could last for decades if not removed. As long as the distance did not exceed ten thousand miles, they could still track him down with vague sensing methods.
Foundation establishment cultivators had many ways to employ secret techniques against qi refinement cultivators.
According to the "Summary of Demonic Cultivation," most cultivators in the late foundation establishment stage would likely not see through such methods, let alone Wu Chang, who was merely a qi refinement stage cultivator. Thus, there was no need for concern.
Of course, the above was just the worst-case scenario.
Liu Yu had always been cautious and considered the worst situations.
However, he had never mistreated those who worked for him; Jiang Qiushui was one, and Sun Ju was another, and Wu Chang was no different.
If he was at ease working for him, the benefits he received would far exceed the hardships of taking on sect missions, and it would be much safer.
After this matter was settled, Liu Yu returned to a peaceful cultivation life, and three months passed in the blink of an eye.
One day, Liu Yu was comfortably lying on a Grand Scholar Chair, flipping through a cultivation technique he had seized.
Suddenly, the spiritual energy in the cave dwelling became chaotic, creating a significant disturbance, and then surged towards the room on the left side of the training room.
This room was where Jiang Qiushui was in closed-door cultivation.
"Spiritual energy enters the body, cleansing the flesh."
Liu Yu was already prepared for this, so he wasn't overly surprised.
The occurrence of this phenomenon indicated that she had successfully passed through the magical power barrier and spirit awareness barrier and had completed the liquidation of magical power, about to face the trial of her physical body.
For Jiang Qiushui, who was approaching fifty and whose vitality was no longer at its peak, this would be the most challenging hurdle.
In fact, Liu Yu had the Dragon Blood Fruit in hand, which could completely resolve the issue of waning vitality.
The effect of the Dragon Blood Fruit was to increase vitality and strengthen the flesh, which could effectively make up for this shortcoming, greatly enhancing her chances of foundation establishment.
However, he did not do so.
Liu Yu had already given her a lot of conveniences, such as lending foundation establishment pills, providing her with insights on foundation establishment, and offering a free place for her to establish her foundation, making her conditions already better than most qi refinement stage cultivators.
Having done this much was sufficient.
Liu Yu's current treatment, even if only half was offered, would compel countless cultivators to work for him willingly.
