CHAPTER 545: Liu Qing
The injuries caused by the heavenly tribulation had a peculiar destructive power. Even third-stage healing spiritual elixirs had very limited effects.
However, the vitality within Little Qing was already very active and surging, far stronger than an ordinary third-stage creature.
With the power of the spiritual elixir, it would eventually recover with time.
Through the connection of the master-servant contract, Liu Yu gently reassured Little Qing to rest well and recover as soon as possible, and then he put it back into the spiritual beast pouch.
“Today, my spiritual beast has successfully ascended to the third stage, worthy of a celebratory drink.”
“Several senior brothers and sisters, please come in and sit!”
Liu Yu turned around and saluted the golden core fellow disciples who had come to watch, inviting them into his cave dwelling.
The ascension of a spiritual beast to the third stage meant an addition of a golden core level combat power. For ordinary golden core cultivators, this was equivalent to a significant increase in strength.
From any perspective, this was a matter worth celebrating.
“Congratulations, junior brother Liu, for gaining a helper!”
“Although your core formation is late, with this spirit serpent’s assistance, I’m afraid junior brother Liu’s strength will surpass ours.”
“Indeed, indeed!”
While exchanging laughter, the group entered Liu Yu’s cave dwelling, and soon maidservants brought forth spiritual food, providing a warm reception.
Taking this opportunity, the golden core cultivators who had a good relationship with Liu Yu gathered for half a day to discuss recent events.
Some fellow disciples even stubbornly urged him to abandon the Chang'an plan.
However, Liu Yu’s attitude remained firm, showing no signs of retreat and politely declining the good intentions of the golden cores.
In the meantime, Jiang Qiushui also joined them.
Seizing this chance, Liu Yu formally introduced this woman to the friendly golden core cultivators, allowing her to connect with his circle of friends.
As it stood, among the golden core cultivators he could command, only Jiang Qiushui and Cold Moon Heart were available.
Ji Ruyan was still in the midst of breaking through the core formation bottleneck, uncertain of her success or failure.
Regardless of the outcome, she would not be seen for a while.
Although both had the Primordial Spirit Restriction planted, Liu Yu trusted Jiang Qiushui more.
Thus, after he left, he would mainly entrust his established forces to this woman.
Since Jiang Qiushui had only recently ascended to the golden core, Liu Yu of course wanted to find opportunities to assist her, allowing her to meet more fellow disciples and understand the internal dynamics of the sect.
Jiang Qiushui did not disappoint Liu Yu’s expectations; she was adept at managing such aspects and quickly became familiar with the golden core fellow disciples.
Having already secured a place within the sect, she no longer had to humble herself excessively.
In a warm and friendly atmosphere, half a day soon passed, and Liu Yu personally saw a few golden core disciples off.
“After I leave, all matters relating to the sect and branch will be entrusted to you.”
“Qiushui, are you prepared?”
After the gathering, Liu Yu sat across from Jiang Qiushui, and Wen Caiyi carefully directed the maidservants in cleaning up.
Biting her red lips and thinking for a moment, Jiang Qiushui nodded firmly and said earnestly:
“Please rest assured, husband, I am confident in maintaining the current situation.”
“No one should think of disrupting the situation that my husband has worked so hard to establish!”
Saying the last sentence, her gaze was extremely determined.
As a capable female cultivator, she was very experienced and found it easy to deal with ordinary cultivators.
However, dealing with cunning old foxes at the golden core level was quite a challenge.
“Mm.”
Liu Yu nodded slightly, not saying much more.
Currently, there were no better candidates, so he could only trust this woman.
