Chapter 700: East Continent Situation
Three days later, outside the residence at Red Cloud Mountain, several figures stood facing each other.
Due to the confidentiality requirements of the mission, even though Liu Yu had made many "friends" in the Purple Mist Mountain Range because of his identity as an alchemist, he only informed a few people before his departure.
He entrusted a few close cultivators to look after the jade alchemy hall during his absence. In case anyone tried to cause trouble because of interests, they could use their various connections to resolve it timely.
During the year of stability in the Purple Mist Mountain Range, Liu Yu had made all the necessary arrangements in advance. With connections from the Purple Scarf Army and the fact that Zhuo Mengzhen was personally overseeing matters, everything was quite secure. He did not need to worry about his departure leading to chaos at home.
"Daoist Gu Cheng, you can rest assured and leave," said a Purple Scarf Army golden core cultivator, cupping his hands and confidently assuring him.
"With Daoist Wan's words, I am at ease," Liu Yu replied with a bright smile, cupping his hands seriously.
Cultivators from the Purple Scarf Army could purchase elixirs from the jade alchemy hall at a "95% discount." Including third-tier spiritual elixirs, the prices of various elixirs were significantly cheaper than those on the market.
"Friendship" may be unreliable and can be fleeting, but the mutual benefits ensured that neither party would turn a blind eye to the other's plight. Generally speaking, resolving common issues was not difficult.
The existence of the jade alchemy hall allowed a number of Purple Scarf Army cultivators to genuinely benefit, and as long as the jade alchemy hall existed, they could continuously purchase elixirs at discounted prices. The ties of interest were more solid than many relationships!
"My husband, be careful on the road."
"I will wait for you to return to the residence," Zhuo Mengzhen said softly beside him.
The last sentence was conveyed through divine sense sound transmission, known only to the two of them. After speaking, she gently tugged on Liu Yu's left arm, a rare blush appearing on her cheeks.
"Haha."
Seeing this scene, the few golden core cultivators who came to see him off exchanged smiles, their faces displaying a knowing look that male cultivators understood.
“…”
Liu Yu said nothing, merely glancing at her, gently rubbing her delicate and soft little hand a few times, nodding lightly with an indifferent expression.
The words that needed to be said had already been spoken when it was just the two of them earlier. There was nothing much to say in front of others now.
Some tender words could not possibly come from his mouth.
"Daoist Gu Cheng, we can fight side by side once again this time."
"I heard that after you accepted this mission, the Elder Council specially arranged for Guo to accompany you as support."
Stepping forward, Guo Poyun smiled and cupped his hands.
Perhaps because the two were more familiar with each other, the Purple Scarf Army's Elder Council specifically arranged for this person to assist, and the two would head to the eastern part of the Central Domain together to carry out the mission.
And Liu Yu’s formidable strength ensured successful completion of missions every time, which made Guo Poyun very willing.
Having cultivated to the golden core pinnacle for some years, he had gathered a few Conception Spirit Objects, but none were of the "three treasures of fetal formation" level.
Without sufficient confidence, Guo Poyun dared not to challenge the bottleneck of fetal formation. He wanted to continue refining his magical power and gather more Conception Spirit Objects, planning to challenge the bottleneck only when he felt significantly more certain, striving for a single successful breakthrough.
When cultivators first attempt to break through a bottleneck, it is often when the success rate is the highest. If one fails, not only will the spirit objects be exhausted, but even if they don't die, they will be heavily injured, and the success rate for a subsequent challenge will drop sharply.
