Chapter 501: Elder Qingyang
"Mm."
With a wave of his hand, Liu Yu stored the Wind Escape Boat into his storage bracelet and responded lightly, surveying the five individuals with a scrutinizing gaze.
In his eyes, the three women and two men, all foundation establishment cultivators, appeared very ordinary.
Either they were too old with little lifespan left, having no further potential to advance, with their strength already in decline, or they had just recently been promoted to the foundation establishment stage, their aura incredibly shallow, perhaps lacking even two magical artifacts.
The performance of these five was hardly worthy of Liu Yu's attention at this point.
However, the responsibility of guarding the branch was not theirs; they only needed to maintain the daily operations of the courtyard.
Whether it was ensuring the safety of the branch or teaching new disciples, there were specialized cultivators responsible for those tasks.
"I am disciple Sun Yulan, a late-stage foundation establishment cultivator, once in..."
"I am disciple Ma Wencai, who has just been promoted to the foundation establishment stage... I hope that Shishu can provide some guidance."
At Liu Yu's gesture, the five foundation establishment stewards introduced themselves in turn, detailing their backgrounds and specialties.
They boldly recounted their past "glorious deeds," attempting to catch the attention of the Golden Core Elder, hoping to be reused.
If they could become a confidant of an elder, their status within the sect would be drastically different.
"Let's go."
Listening expressionlessly, Liu Yu nodded slightly at the end, then walked directly toward the teleportation hall.
With his current power within the sect, he only needed to spread a little word, and many cultivators would be eager to attach themselves to him.
The five foundation establishment stewards before him were indeed not worth his concern.
As Liu Yu moved, Jiang Qiushui, Ji Ruyan, and the five maidservants immediately followed.
Sun Yulan and Ma Wencai were momentarily taken aback but quickly regained their senses and hurried to follow behind.
In just a few moments of interaction, they could already sense the elder’s attitude; he seemed to regard them with little importance, even showing considerable disdain.
Realizing this attitude, Ma Wencai's once fervent heart sank significantly.
He had been hoping to gain the elder's favor and soar to new heights.
As for the other more experienced veteran cultivators, they remained unperturbed on the surface; even if they felt some discontent in their hearts, they dared not show it.
Liu Yu, of course, was unaware of their thoughts.
However, at his current level, he did not need to ponder the thoughts of mere foundation establishment cultivators.
As the branch leader, his word was law, and should he show even a hint of dissatisfaction, he had plenty of means to deal with it.
It was not a small matter for a Golden Core Elder to travel; as soon as Liu Yu stepped into the teleportation hall, the teleportation hall's steward quickly approached him.
"Greetings, Elder Qingyang. May I ask where Shishu intends to go?"
"I will arrange it immediately!"
The steward brought the disciples on duty to pay their respects, and all Yuan Yang Sect cultivators in the hall also bowed.
Even those who were not from the Yuan Yang Sect stopped their actions, fearing to offend the Golden Core Master.
With the clear spiritual pressure of the Golden Core appearing, the once lively teleportation hall immediately fell silent.
No cultivator dared to maintain direct eye contact with Liu Yu, yet all were keenly aware of his movements at all times.
Liu Yu, with no apparent action, naturally became the absolute center of attention!
In the current Alliance of the Nine States, reaching the Golden Core realm was already considered a high-level cultivator; walking anywhere was met with respect.
If there was no respect, then there would be obliteration!
Immortal cultivators wield their great power with minimal constraints.
