When he arrived at the Hehuan Sect, the disciple responsible for patrolling the mountain flew quickly toward Tang Yu upon seeing him and respectfully greeted him:
—The martial master has returned. The sect leader notified us that, upon seeing you, we should ask you to go see her.
—Understood.
Tang Yu nodded and flew directly to the palace where Liu Yanlan resided.
At that moment, Liu Yanlan was doing some calculations.
Tang Yu had already been in the Hehuan Sect for almost two months, and since that person arrived, the sect's income capacity had increased considerably.
Before his arrival, the sect earned about five thousand high-grade spirit stones per month.
Now, that number had tripled.
The benefits for both the disciples and the elders had also increased.
To the point that Tang Yu's reputation within the sect was constantly rising.
Even if, by accident, he got lost and mistakenly entered the hot springs, stumbling upon a disciple bathing...
The elders always agreed that, surely, the martial master was so busy thinking about the development of the sect that he got distracted and took the wrong path. It wasn't his fault.
Upon sensing that Tang Yu had arrived outside, she gestured with her hand and used spatial power to pull him directly before her.
Seeing that there was still a trace of blood on the corner of Tang Yu's lips, Liu Yanlan's eyebrows furrowed immediately as she asked, worried:
—Were you fighting someone outside?
—I was ambushed, I suffered quite a bit... I almost couldn't return to see you, senior sister.
With a pale face and after coughing a few times, Tang Yu took two steps toward Liu Yanlan.
Immediately, his body staggered, and stumbling, he fell into Liu Yanlan, without deviating even a little, directly onto her, burying his face in a generously voluptuous area.
—Fragrant! Big! Soft!
Upon unintentionally falling, the deep heart of Tang Yu naturally came up with these three words of evaluation.
Worried, Liu Yanlan had no time to think of anything else.
She held him and quickly started checking his physical condition.
After confirming that the guy had practically nothing wrong, Liu Yanlan's face darkened. She pushed him away and said with a sarcastic smile:
—So badly injured? Were you attacked by powerful cultivators from the Qi Refining Realm, or was it a great cultivator from the Foundation Realm that oppressed you?
—Not at all, it was five cultivators from the Nascent Soul Realm. One of them was even at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
When discovered, Tang Yu showed no shame. He rubbed his hands and laughed foolishly.
—What did you do for five Nascent Soul cultivators to surround and beat you? Were those demons you offended before, seeking revenge?
Liu Yanlan asked.
A few days earlier, she had already learned that Tang Yu and Amber had jointly wiped out several groups of demonic cultivators.
A Nascent Soul cultivator going to capture cultivators from the Divine Transformation Realm as labor...
Only that brat would come up with such an idea and actually pull it off.
Had it not been for her trust in the Treasure Tower Master Amber, she would have gone out personally to bring Tang Yu back.
Lest that brat go seek death outside and cause a big problem.
—Where are you going to find such high-level demonic cultivators nowadays? They were people from the FIRE SPIRIT Sect and the TEN THOUSAND LAWS Sect...
Tang Yu told Liu Yanlan everything that happened with the trap to the Fire Spirit Clan.
Had she not known that Tang Yu had purposely disguised himself, Liu Yanlan would have spit blood from fright.
If they had discovered him, with the explosive temper of the Fire Spirit Sect, it was highly likely they would have declared war on the Hehuan Sect immediately.
Although the Hehuan Sect was currently growing rapidly in power, there was still a certain gap compared to the Fire Spirit Clan.
—Be more careful in the future. When it comes to matters involving the seven great sects, they rarely end well.
Liu Yanlan gave him a warning with resignation. After all, as the sect leader, she had to be more vigilant when dealing with such important sect matters.
—Understood~. Sister, can you see if this is worth anything?
Tang Yu took out a small white jade box and handed it to Liu Yanlan.
Liu Yanlan took it and sensed the ancient restrictions carved on it.
Since their last conversation, where she had a sudden epiphany, she was now only half a step away from reaching the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm.
But even with her current strength, breaking the ancient restrictions wasn't easy.
「If I try to open it, it would take me at least two months. This ancestral restriction is very complicated, we need the help of a cultivator in the Divine Transformation stage who is an expert in formations. Our Hehuan Sect doesn't have anyone like that, and if we look for an outsider, we would easily expose ourselves.」
Liu Yanlan said as she handed the white jade box back to Tang Yu.
「If you're in a hurry to open it, why not go to the master? A restriction of this level surely holds something very valuable. This time, your adventure really paid off.」
「Alright.」
Tang Yu, hugging the white jade box, ran to the place where Nangong Wuxin was in seclusion and shouted "Master" three times.
After shouting "Master" three times, the surrounding environment immediately changed, transforming into the small world where Nangong Wuxin was in isolation.
Awakened, Nangong Wuxin opened his eyes, and with a single gesture, the white jade box flew from Tang Yu's hands into his.
「What a good item... Disciple, where did you get this?」
Upon noticing the ancestral restriction on it, even Nangong Wuxin felt a rare spark of curiosity.
Tang Yu let out a small laugh and told the whole story of the trap to the Fire Spirit Clan.
「Good disciple.」
Nangong Wuxin showed an expression of approval.
Just like when he was young, with the same bad habits: capable of doing anything, except good things.
With a wave of his hand, he removed the ancestral restriction on the box, and it opened by itself.
The moment the jade box opened, a faint pink light spread from within.
Tang Yu approached to look and discovered that inside was a pink crystal the size of a watermelon.
However, the crystal had a clearly sculpted shape, crafted by skilled hands.
It had the appearance of a small fox curled up and sleeping.
「Master, what is this?」
Following his spirit of never being embarrassed to ask, Tang Yu immediately spoke up.
「A Nine-Tailed Jade Fox. You've found a treasure, boy.」
Even the experienced Nangong Wuxin couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
「Nine-Tailed Jade Fox? That thing that ranks third among spiritual beasts?」
Tang Yu remembered the origin of this object. Since arriving in this place, he had read many books and learned a lot about the Jiuxiao continent.
On the Jiuxiao continent, beasts are divided into demonic beasts and spiritual beasts.
Demonic beasts are naturally hostile toward cultivators, and they are almost impossible to tame.
While spiritual beasts feel affinity toward cultivators and, once successfully tamed, become a great combat power for them.
There are even many sects of beast tamers on the Jiuxiao continent.
Tang Yu had even thought about going to one of those sects to find some girls with cat ears to work as maids.
「That's right. This Nine-Tailed Jade Fox was born from a spiritual vein. It's unknown who found it and left it here. You got it for a bargain, boy.」
Nangong Wuxin smiled with satisfaction. That his disciple obtained such an item meant that he had great fortune.
If he had both talent and luck, reaching the peak of the Jiuxiao continent would be nothing difficult in the future.
「Master, can this take human form?」
Tang Yu asked shamelessly.
Nangong Wuxin smiled with a deep look, his expression carrying a hint of mischievousness.
「And why do you want to know that?」
Tang Yu let out a sly laugh, sharing a look that only men can understand.
「You'll find out later. Take good care of it. The Nine-Tailed Jade Fox is a gold-devouring beast, it feeds exclusively on spirit stones. Get ready to go broke.」
After tossing the box back to Tang Yu, the surroundings changed again, sending him out of Nangong Wuxin's small world.
A moment later, Tang Yu was back in a room in the tower.
And just at that moment, Nangong Ying was changing clothes.
Her dress had just slid down her body, and she was holding a "JK" style set that Tang Yu had gifted her some time ago, about to put it on.
Seeing Tang Yu suddenly appear in front of her, Nangong Ying froze completely with the skirt in hand.
Tang Yu's eyes were dazzled by those long, white legs.
And in the challenge of "just looking there," he achieved an excellent result of thirteen seconds.
