Chapter 514: Golden Spear Immortal City (Bonus chapter for last month’s 2200 monthly votes!)
After seeing off Elder Yan, Liu Yu sat alone in his room for a long time in contemplation before finally walking out.
Accompanied by the maid Wen Caiyi, he passed through the pavilions and returned to his cave dwelling.
“Leave.”
Once Wen Caiyi had poured the spiritual tea and prepared the pastries, Liu Yu waved his hand.
“Yes.”
Wen Caiyi obediently accepted the order and exited the cave dwelling.
Although she had received a bit of "favor" and her status had increased somewhat, she was still just a maid.
After she left, Liu Yu savored the spiritual tea and began to ponder his future arrangements.
Among the conditions he had negotiated with the sect, the Yuan State branch would still be under his control, which was considered his "base."
Before leaving Yuan State for the frontline against the beasts, he could still arrange for his subordinates to manage it.
As long as this base was preserved, Liu Yu could continuously convert the spiritual herbs and medicinal herbs cultivated in the Immortal Abode into spiritual stones through the channels of Yuan State, with minimal risk in the process.
After all, here, his influence was at its peak, and after decades of management, it had become as solid as an iron barrel.
As long as no other golden core cultivators intervened, problems were unlikely to arise.
Even though this place was far from the core of the sect and could not participate in sect decisions in a timely manner, for Liu Yu, it was a very good place for development.
Thinking this, he waved his hand to release several sound transmission talismans, which transformed into white streams of light flying out of the cave dwelling, notifying several foundation establishment cultivators to come for a meeting.
About fifteen minutes later, a few important foundation establishment cultivators arrived one after another.
Liu Yu had them wait outside the cave dwelling first and met with Cold Moon Heart first, informing her that he would soon be leaving Yuan State to head to the frontline against the beasts.
After hearing this, Cold Moon Heart's icy expression revealed a hint of shock, and she was dazed for quite a while.
The legendary "great beast tide" was indeed too distant for ordinary foundation establishment cultivators.
The maximum lifespan of a foundation establishment cultivator was three hundred years, but compared to the beast tide that came once every few thousand years, it was still too short.
Even if several generations of foundation establishment cultivators died, they might never experience the beast tide.
Ordinary foundation establishment cultivators found it difficult to come into contact with such matters.
Although Liu Yu was well aware of the situation regarding the beast tide, even most foundation establishment cultivators in the sect still knew very little and only understood that the demonic beasts were very frequently becoming restless.
However, they did not have a clear concept of whether the beast tide would truly come.
If the foundation establishment cultivators in the sect were like this, the smaller factions with even more closed-off information were even worse off.
“So, how does Shishu plan to arrange things afterwards?”
After processing the shocking information about the beast tide for a moment, Cold Moon Heart finally regained her senses and asked with a flicker in her gaze.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yu fell silent for a while, staring at her with a faint smile and said:
“Even if a single foundation establishment cultivator heads to the frontline, it won’t change the outcome of the battle.”
“So I plan to leave you here to specifically manage the ‘Shadow of the Sun’ and cultivate death warriors while maintaining stability in the branch.”
Although Jiang Qiushui and Ji Ruyan were skilled in management, there were still some matters that the two girls were not adept at handling.
For example, matters that required solving through duel of magic.
