Following the direction of the finger, Wu Cheng'en quickly locked onto a simple-looking boy.
Although the boy seemed utterly ordinary from any angle, since Shishu Qingyang had spoken, there must surely be something "special" about him.
How could Shishu Qingyang's judgment be wrong?!
"I understand, Master!"
Regardless of his thoughts, Wu Cheng'en immediately gave a deep bow.
He turned around and whispered a few words to a foundation establishment steward nearby, then stood with his hands down, waiting for orders.
Thanks to his father's legacy, the Wu Clan was relatively favored by Liu Yu, holding a high position among the Qingyang faction.
Among the foundation establishment stewards, there were distinctions in rank.
The steward in the early stage of foundation establishment received the order and immediately bowed respectfully to several Golden Core Elders before controlling his magical artifact to fly downwards.
After a few moments of silence, Liu Yu did not linger long and waved his hand for the Flying Boat to set sail again.
With his current status and the influence of the Qingyang faction, even a simple compliment from him could change the fate of an ordinary cultivator, possibly launching them towards a prosperous future.
Even without special treatment, even if one's aptitude was ordinary, becoming an inner sect disciple and receiving the sect's focused cultivation would not be a problem.
If this junior was worthy of cultivation, Liu Yu, considering their shared bloodline, would not mind giving a helping hand, making it possible for him to become a true disciple of the sect.
Of course, he had no intention of acknowledging or personally establishing a family with him.
"Whoosh, whoosh~"
The Flying Boat slowly traversed among the mountains, and Liu Yu silently observed the sect at this moment.
Behind him, everyone had different thoughts, speculating why he admired that boy.
"Bloodline sensing talisman, could it be that boy was Shishu Qingyang's?"
Wu Cheng'en realized this and secretly speculated in his heart.
"This is an opportunity; I must seize it."
After thinking for a short while, he made up his mind to closely watch that boy, even considering taking him as a personal disciple.
In Wu Cheng'en's eyes, Shishu Qingyang's current cultivation was unfathomable, and there might still be possibilities for further advancement. Countless fellow disciples aspired to serve Shishu Qingyang.
The relationships of the older generation would gradually fade over time; compared to some powerful fellow disciples, the Wu Clan did not have much of an advantage.
One must seize every opportunity available to avoid being marginalized.
...
Spirit Platform Mountain, a third-tier supreme quality spiritual mountain, was also the base of the Li Clan, where Master Changfeng resided.
Although the overall spiritual vein of the sect had declined, the Li Clan, being the first family of the sect, possessed many resources and had found ways to elevate the spiritual vein's grade.
A quarter of an hour later, Spirit Platform Mountain was in sight, and under Ji Ruyan's control, the Flying Boat slowly descended.
Several Golden Core Elders arrived, and with a legitimate reason, even if Master Changfeng was not present, the group was unhindered.
Guided by Li Clan cultivators, Liu Yu quickly arrived at a burial ground located halfway up the mountain.
Looking around, tombs and gravestones came into view, reflecting a sense of desolation and sadness.
With a sweep of his spiritual consciousness, Liu Yu scanned the names on the gravestones, quickly locating the grave of his Master, Li Changkong, without needing guidance from the Li Clan cultivators.
As a Golden Core Ancestor, Li Changkong was buried in one of the best locations of the burial ground.
Liu Yu stepped forward quickly, gazing at his Affordable Master's gravestone, as memories surfaced in his mind, as vivid as if they were from yesterday.
Though not a personal disciple, Li Changkong was one of the few cultivators Liu Yu was most familiar with in the sect, and he felt a mix of emotions.
