Chapter 495: Elder's Benefits (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Votes!!)
Due to the lack of available cultivators under him, Liu Yu instructed Ji Ruyan a few days ago to handle this matter.
The Golden Core Ceremony is mainly overseen by Jiang Qiushui.
Qingyang Peak stands about five hundred zhang high, which is equivalent to one thousand five hundred meters in the previous world.
With the presence of a third-tier spiritual vein, the richness of spiritual energy is extraordinary, and there are already dozens of acres of spiritual farmland without much need for processing.
If managed properly, developing a hundred acres of spiritual farmland is not out of the question.
Building a third-tier spiritual herb garden is also not impossible.
However, relying solely on normal operations at the spiritual mountain to earn spiritual stones is still too slow; Liu Yu currently needs a large amount of spiritual stones and does not take it lightly.
But it would be too suspicious to let a third-tier spiritual mountain sit idle, collecting spiritual stones passively without any management.
Therefore, some camouflage is indeed necessary.
The reason Liu Yu wanted to select some maidservants was not only for his own convenience but also to assist in managing the spiritual mountain.
"Since everything is arranged, let's schedule the interview for tomorrow."
He nodded and said lightly.
He did not find it strange that so many cultivators wanted to join Qingyang Peak.
With his current identity, he had already entered the privileged class of the sect; promoting an outer sect disciple to an inner sect disciple only required a single word from him.
Yet, this simple word represents an opportunity that countless cultivators yearn for.
With such a great opportunity before them and the threshold for pursuit being low, who wouldn’t want to give it a try?!
Conversely, managing Qingyang Peak is much easier than regular sect tasks and allows for more time dedicated to cultivation.
Even if he cannot gain the favor of the grandmaster, staying at Qingyang Peak would improve his cultivation environment.
"Yes, husband, Ruyan understands."
Ji Ruyan nodded obediently.
"Alright, you may leave now, Ruyan."
Liu Yu gently nodded, signaling Ji Ruyan to retreat, leaving only Jiang Qiushui alone in the cave dwelling.
Soon, only the two of them remained in the cave.
Perhaps because of being scolded for a mistake, Jiang Qiushui was very well-behaved at this moment, quietly lowering her head without saying a word, exuding a kind of quiet beauty.
At other times, when the two were alone, they would have already changed their sitting positions.
Liu Yu secretly smiled but did not intend to comfort her; even if she was his woman, being overly indulgent is not appropriate.
Discipline is still necessary, or else it would be easy to disrupt the rules.
After some thought, he unfastened the seven storage bags from his waist, placed them on the table, and said, "These contain some resources that need to be sold for spiritual stones, I'll leave this to you, Qiushui."
These were the gains from the Holy Flame Secret Realm trip, and after excluding the supreme magical artifacts and superior spiritual artifacts, they were worth around 130,000 spiritual stones.
Including some unnecessary gifts, the total was about 150,000 spiritual stones.
With the current need to advance to the golden core realm and the acute shortage of spiritual stones, it was time to sell these.
As for the supreme magical artifacts and superior spiritual artifacts, Liu Yu had other uses for them.
Moreover, such magical artifacts typically serve as a cultivator's signature and mark; selling them directly might expose him as the greatest beneficiary of the Holy Flame Secret Realm.
Given the stakes involved with spiritual treasures, it was better not to take such risks.
Even the two supreme spiritual artifacts he "loaned" to Jiang Qiushui and Ji Ruyan, Liu Yu advised both women not to use them unless absolutely necessary.
However, since both women had remained in the sect, there really weren't many opportunities for them to use them anyway.
