Chapter 567: Golden Core Mid Stage
"The gap is getting wider and wider. How did this person cultivate?"
"Clearly just an ordinary three spiritual roots, nothing outstanding in any aspect."
Calming down, Zhuo Mengzhen flashed this thought, becoming increasingly curious about Liu Yu, an uncontrollable desire to explore rising within her.
Previously regarded as a rival she needed to overcome, she had already investigated all of his information.
At eighteen, no, before thirty-one, he was very ordinary.
Yet, with his ordinary qualification of three spiritual roots, he accidentally succeeded in foundation establishment.
Then, he showcased his talent in the battle of the spiritual stone mine, shining brightly in the battle against the Yan State, from then on unstoppable.
Now, truly understanding Liu Yu's "strength," four words flashed through Zhuo Mengzhen's mind—profound and unfathomable.
Given the current situation, she had to admit that it would be very difficult for her to defeat him.
"Hiss~"
"Hmph!"
Watching Liu Yu disappear from her sight, Zhuo Mengzhen endured the pain in her body, losing herself in thought for a while.
However, she quickly collected herself, closed the door, activated the formation, and sat cross-legged to begin her cultivation, working hard to digest the effects of their dual cultivation.
As a Golden Core Elder of the Heavenly Harmony Sect, she naturally possessed exceptionally advanced dual cultivation techniques that could greatly enhance the dual cultivation results.
In fact, she had originally harbored a small thought of secretly taking advantage of Liu Yu during their dual cultivation.
But after experiencing Liu Yu's powerful physique, she immediately became honest. In such close proximity before, Zhuo Mengzhen feared being slapped into a pulp.
However, relying on her superior techniques, although she had sacrificed her virgin yuan yin, she did not suffer much loss.
After digesting the effects of their dual cultivation, she should be able to reach the peak of the Golden Core Early Stage.
"Damn it!"
Before operating her technique, this thought flickered through Zhuo Mengzhen's mind.
For some reason, thinking about Liu Yu's carefree departure, she felt like she had suffered a huge loss!
Although she also benefited from the recent dual cultivation, making a small advancement in her cultivation in a short time, Zhuo Mengzhen still felt that something important had been taken from her!
...
"No wonder she is a female cultivator of the Heavenly Harmony Sect; she really knows a lot in that regard."
"If it weren't for having accumulated over a hundred years of Yuan Yin spiritual power, I would really suspect that 'that thing' is 'fake'."
On his way back to the room, Liu Yu couldn’t help but reflect.
Facing his innermost thoughts and considering the previous dual cultivation, he had to admit that he had indeed invested some effort.
He could not place all the blame on the "technique problem."
"However, since I have gained benefits, unless absolutely necessary, I will not go back on my word."
"In some not-so-important moments, lending this girl a hand can be done casually."
Liu Yu flashed this thought.
The sect has its position, and he has his own stance; when the two stances conflict, he would naturally lean towards his own side.
Although the two sects are adversaries, since he has already gained benefits, letting this girl off the hook is not out of the question.
If he can gain substantial benefits, he would not cling to conventions, nor would he resist going back on his word, even turning against people.
But under normal circumstances, he is still willing to adhere to principles.
Hmm, principles that benefit himself.
As for the unpleasantness from decades ago, Liu Yu did not take it to heart, focusing more on the present.
After all, he had not suffered any losses throughout.
Of course, this was also considering that Zhuo Mengzhen seemed to have recognized the reality, her attitude having shifted significantly.
