Between countless mountains and rivers, among trillions of ordinary people, many remain oblivious to the world, as if they are not living in the same reality.
With Liu Yu's current magical strength, even without summoning the ancient treasure "Purple Lightning Cloak," his average escape speed steadily reaches six thousand five hundred miles per hour.
Along the way, using the teleportation array as a transfer point, it only took him three hours to cross over a distance of hundreds of thousands of miles.
After three hours, the gate of the Yuan Yang Sect was finally in sight.
“Whoosh, whoosh~”
Concealing his spiritual pressure, Liu Yu quickly dissipated like a flash of blue escape light, slipping into the mountain gate unnoticed by any disciples.
Given Liu Yu's current status, it wouldn't be impossible to conduct a grand welcoming ceremony upon each return.
However, doing so would merely be a display before low-level cultivators, and he no longer felt any thrill from such actions.
Instead, he found it a waste of time, so he kept things simple.
Of course, at certain critical moments, it is necessary to pay attention to appearances.
As he approached Heavenly Peak, Liu Yu suddenly paused, waved his hand, and took out several sound transmission talismans, sending them flying toward various locations within the sect.
Since the spiritual herbs for refining the "Flying Immortal Pill" were already in hand, there was no need to have the sect's disciples continue their collection. Instead, the saved manpower and resources could be focused on the remaining three types of elixir spiritual herbs.
Although, after five years, he had only gathered about two-fifths of the over two thousand types of spiritual herbs recorded in the jade slip, which was somewhat unsatisfactory.
However, Liu Yu knew that the Golden Core Elders had indeed done their best.
The Yuan Yang Sect had many able-bodied people at its disposal, but rare spiritual herbs were not easy to come by; sometimes, luck was indeed required.
He couldn't personally search for some relatively less important auxiliary herbs; in the future, collecting spiritual herbs for alchemy still required mobilizing the sect's power and his death warriors.
After all, you can't put all your eggs in one basket, nor can you rely solely on Ink Plum.
Having more choices is always beneficial.
“Whoosh, whoosh~”
After sending out the sound transmission talismans, Liu Yu's escape light flickered, and he landed directly at the peak of Heavenly Peak, walking toward his cave dwelling.
“Miss, we greet the Ancestor~~”
Hearing the commotion, several maidservants tending to flowers and plants hurriedly bowed and greeted him.
In their gazes, there seemed to be a hint of expectation.
As an old ancestor of the sect, Liu Yu naturally could not have just one maidservant; his cave dwelling typically housed over a dozen maidservants.
All of them were stunning in appearance and stature, absolutely rare beauties in the secular world, and most importantly, they were all pure virgins.
Although he had not expressed anything, his Golden Core Elders clearly understood the rules.
Hearing the gentle greetings in his ears, Liu Yu did not pause at all and walked straight into his cave dwelling.
“What a pity.”
As that tall figure gradually disappeared from view without any lingering attachment, the dozen or so beautiful maidservants all flashed traces of regret in their eyes.
Most of them had decent spiritual root aptitudes, having cultivated to the late stage of qi refinement by their thirties, easily qualifying for the inner sect, and they were all more exceptional than Wen Caiyi back in the day.
However, under the encouragement of their elders, they also harbored a glimmer of hope, yearning to rise and become a phoenix, thus choosing to become the ancestor's maidservants.
Yesterday, they received the news that Wen Caiyi, the head maidservant and also the ancestor's personal maidservant, officially retired.
Thus, they were determined to perform well, and their attitude was especially attentive in the past two days.
