CHAPTER 530: Thirty Years Later (Seeking Subscription, Seeking Monthly Tickets!!)
As for Zhou Yunlong, he followed closely behind, feeling somewhat restrained in front of a large group of "immortal masters."
After experiencing a series of upheavals, he still felt a sense of surrealism.
Ultimately, he was just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy; although he was about to embark on the path of cultivating immortality, his mindset had not yet changed.
Seeing that he was brought here by "Senior Qingyang", the cultivators did not make things difficult for him.
"Arrange for someone to take him down to bathe and change clothes, and also teach him the common script of the cultivation world," Liu Yu commanded as he stopped at the threshold of the conference hall.
After speaking, he strode in and took his seat at the main position with an imposing demeanor.
"Yes! Shishu Qingyang," a foundation establishment cultivator immediately accepted the order and used divine sense sound transmission to call a qi refining disciple to take Zhou Yunlong down to tidy up.
Sitting in the main position, Liu Yu listened to the reports from the various foundation establishment cultivators and occasionally nodded slightly.
He finally had a preliminary impression of the situation surrounding the Everlasting Prosperity Market.
The Everlasting Prosperity Market was about nine thousand miles from the sect's mountain gate, and around eleven thousand miles from the largest city in the northeast, "New Moon City."
Overall, considering its location in the heart of Qingzhou, it could hardly be called the frontline and was currently relatively safe.
As for the four-winged black tiger, it was mostly just a coincidence.
According to the stationed foundation establishment cultivators, since the beast tide broke out, they had only been attacked by some groups of demonic beasts, which they could easily fend off.
They even had the energy to clean up the nearby demonic beasts.
However, with the fall of Golden Spear City and New Moon City adopting a strategy of retreating to defend the city, the risks had greatly increased, and the likelihood of being attacked by third-order demonic cultivators also rose significantly.
Therefore, a request was made to the sect to send a golden core cultivator to take command.
"Hmm."
After listening, Liu Yu waved his hand, signaling the foundation establishment cultivators to withdraw and focus on their respective duties.
"It seems that under normal circumstances, I don't need to take action myself."
"Some low-level demonic beasts can be handled by these foundation establishment juniors well enough, leaving me with time to cultivate."
"To be safe, I should still deploy a team of death warriors to assist in the defense."
"Reducing the frequency of my direct involvement would also allow for more time to focus on cultivation."
After pondering for a while, Liu Yu brushed aside this thought.
He then took out a sound transmission talisman, whispered a few words, and after triggering it, it transformed into a streak of firelight and flew away.
Under the guidance of a foundation establishment cultivator from the sect, he arrived at the cave dwelling within the market where the spiritual energy was the densest and began his semi-closed-door guarding life.
Even with the spirit gathering array concentrating the spiritual energy, the richness of the energy in the cave dwelling was equivalent to a typical second-tier supreme spiritual vein.
If he relied solely on absorbing spiritual energy for cultivation, it would definitely slow down his progress, making it immensely uncomfortable for many golden core cultivators.
However, since Liu Yu practiced using elixirs, he was less dependent on the external spiritual energy, and his cultivation speed would not be hindered.
Naturally, the sect had considered this situation that could slow down the cultivation speed of golden core cultivators.
Thus, every golden core elder executing tasks outside would receive a stipend of spiritual stones every year.
