CHAPTER 513: Uninvited Guest
"Boom!"
As the formation activated, the stone gate began to rise.
"Young Master."
The head maid, Wen Caiyi, and the other maidservants waiting in the hall quickly stepped forward to greet him.
Liu Yu nodded slightly and walked straight towards the washroom, completing his grooming under the maids' assistance.
Afterward, he sent out a sound transmission talisman.
He summoned Jiang Qiushui, Ji Ruyan, Sun Yulan, and others to report on recent developments one by one.
Enjoying the various benefits, he also had to deal with the ensuing affairs; he could not just ignore what was happening outside.
Although he rarely intervened in specific matters, he still needed to understand what he should know.
Otherwise, problems would inevitably arise over time.
Upon receiving the sound transmission talisman, no cultivator dared to be negligent, and they quickly arrived.
Liu Yu met with these individuals in the cave dwelling to learn about the situation in the branch academy during his seclusion.
As expected, everything was going very smoothly.
With the trend of the great beast tide becoming increasingly apparent, both the orthodox and demonic paths had also quieted down, changing from their previously aggressive attitudes.
The cultivation sects in Chu State and other nations were busy digesting the newly acquired territories, leaving them even less inclined to stir up trouble.
Thus, the situation in the former Yan State cultivation world was relatively calm overall.
After all, anyone with discerning eyes could see that the outbreak of the beast tide was unavoidable; stirring up a war in the cultivation world at this time was not a wise decision.
The beast tide, which occurred once in several thousand years, was not just a matter for a single sect or country but was a significant issue concerning the entire Tian Nan cultivation world!
After meeting with the others, Liu Yu kept Jiang Qiushui back to ask about a matter he was very concerned about.
In the cave dwelling, the two sat across from each other, and even the maidservants stepped out.
"Have there been any leads on the 'Qingyang Skill' lately?!"
Pouring a cup of spiritual tea for Jiang Qiushui, Liu Yu asked softly.
From the bronze lamp, he had acquired only the first eight levels of the "Qingyang Skill" and could only cultivate to the Golden Core Mid Stage.
If he could not find the subsequent content by the time he reached the peak of the mid-stage, he would face an awkward situation.
He would either stagnate in his cultivation or take the risk of severely damaging his cultivation level while attempting to change his cultivation technique.
Neither of these options was acceptable to Liu Yu.
Therefore, after advancing to Golden Core, he had secretly sent people to search for news about the continuation of the "Qingyang Skill."
Unfortunately, up until the time of his seclusion, more than a decade or two had passed without any sign of progress.
Jiang Qiushui lifted the teacup and took a delicate sip, displaying great elegance.
Hearing this, she revealed a wry smile, shaking her head without speaking, her meaning clear.
"Sigh~!"
Liu Yu let out a long sigh, feeling somewhat helpless, yet he did not blame her.
Any superior cultivation technique was a rare treasure for any cultivator or cultivation force; it was the foundation that could be passed down through generations.
Such a treasure would naturally not easily leak its information; in general, they would rather that fewer cultivators knew about it.
He understood this well; if it weren't for the need for Jiang Qiushui to search for the "Qingyang Skill," even this "bedside person" would not know about it.
Every cultivator and every power held superior cultivation techniques in high regard.
As a result, the difficulty of searching for these techniques was evident.
When he successfully established his foundation, he could not find a superior cultivation technique even after searching several markets, which spoke volumes.
