Lou Xuanzhi's breath hitched, and his eyes showed emotion.
What I once found amusing and picked up casually turned out to be my lifeline. The law of cause and effect in this world is truly profound and mysterious.
Now that things have changed, he no longer needs to hide his identity. He can confirm the many rumors circulating about him himself. If it can keep his foolish disciples safe, then it's all worth it.
"Alright, do as you wish. Your teacher will accompany you." Lou Xuanzhi gently rubbed Qiyue's head.
Having easily persuaded her cheap master, Qiyue was in a great mood and returned to the South Pavilion to carve the array. During this time, she sent a message to Jin Youqian.
She had already decided that since the Spirit Gathering Array had such a far-reaching influence, she would first carve a low-level Spirit Gathering Array and auction it off in her cheap master's name, waiting for her cheap master's luck to accumulate to a certain point.
Then, she had her cheap master create a higher-level spirit-gathering array on top of her low-level spirit-gathering array.
As for those who auctioned off the Spirit Gathering Array diagram, she didn't need to worry at all about someone carving out a high-level Spirit Gathering Array, because the Heavenly Dao wouldn't allow NPCs to steal her fortune.
During this time, Qiyue rewrote other stories and found Le Luoxi.
"I added some new plot to the sketchbook I got from my senior sister last time and found someone to sell it in collaboration with. I earned 200,000 spirit stones, of which 100,000 spirit stones belong to my senior sister."
Qi Yue took out a spatial ring and placed it in Le Luoxi's hand, saying, "Senior Sister must have already guessed why I'm here."
Le Luoxi affectionately rubbed Qiyue's little head, then raised her hand, and a familiar picture book appeared in her fair and beautiful palm.
"I already knew. Junior sister writes so well. Did you come here this time to ask me to help you draw a new sketchbook?"
After putting away the sketchbook, Le Luoxi returned the ring to Qiyue. She knew why her junior sister was trying so hard to earn spirit stones.
She couldn't accept this spirit stone. In the end, all of this was the result of her junior sister's scheming.
"Your senior sister is not short of spirit stones. It's just a picture book, right? You wait, I'll send it to you in a few days. Keep the spirit stones safe. Now that you are cultivating four paths at the same time, you need a lot of cultivation resources. Consider these spirit stones a gift from your senior sister."
Le Luoxi spoke softly, pinching Qiyue's cheek.
Qiyue did not refuse. She needed far too many resources and spirit stones, whether it was for the little cripple, Nalan Qing, or anyone else.
Qiyue handed the book to Le Luoxi and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Senior Sister."
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and set up a small spirit-gathering array for Le Luoxi.
Le Luoxi's eyes lit up: "I heard from Master and Sixth Junior Brother that you created a formation that can introduce spiritual energy into the formation to increase the speed of cultivation. I was thinking about how to tell you, but I didn't expect that you would think of me before I even said anything. Thank you, Junior Sister."
"It's nothing, not worth mentioning." Seeing the satisfied smile on Le Luoxi's face, Qi Yue also felt very happy.
Three days later.
Upon receiving the message from Kim Yugyeom, Qiyue, along with the inscribed array diagram, led Jiuwei and Lou Xuan down the mountain.
It must be said that Jin Youqian is a very smart person. When he received Qiyue's message, he released the news. When Qiyue and Lou Xuanzhi arrived at Wanbaolou, the two of them saw that the auction house was packed with people.
The people who participated in the auction were all extraordinary individuals.
But when her gaze fell upon a familiar figure, her expression turned cold.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?" Kim Yugyeom sat to the side, fan in hand, observing Qiyue's expression.
Lou Xuanzhi, standing to the side, did not speak to him, but the respect on his face was genuine.
July nodded: "I am very satisfied. As payment, this array diagram is yours. Don't disappoint me. After all, your value to me is far less than what I give you now."
Qiyue looked at Jin Youqian with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. She raised her hand, and a diagram of a formation bound together with thread appeared in her hand.
Kim Yugyeom froze, his eyes filled with eagerness as he looked at the array diagram, but he dared not accept it.
Until July handed him the array diagram.
"The value of an exchange of benefits is equal. Obviously, what you are offering now is not only inferior, but you cannot even give me what I want most. However, there is one thing that can be given."
An eerie light gleamed in her eyes.
She did not hide any of this from Lou Xuanzhi, mainly because she was afraid that her cheap master would misunderstand her.
However, what she didn't know was that her master, fellow disciples, and senior disciples could all hear her thoughts.
She kept glancing at her cheap master beside her, observing his expression. Seeing that he looked normal and showed no suspicion or displeasure, she smiled slightly.
The gaze fell on Kim Yugyeom, whose face turned pale.
A sword appeared in Qiyue's hand. She used the sword to lightly lift Jin Youqian's chin, her expression inscrutable.
"Today I'm giving you a chance to choose. Tell me, which side are you on?"
Kim Yugyeom paused as his hand reached for the array diagram. His gaze fell on Qiyue's fair wrist holding the sword, then slowly moved upwards, finally settling on her face, whose expression he couldn't discern.
He let out a long sigh.
"Xia Wanqing has broken through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm and will enter the Holy Sect for cultivation next year. If you can tell me how to enter the Bone Tomb and help me find the complete Heavenly Evolution Technique, my Wanbaolou and even the entire Jin family are willing to serve you as our master."
"You're threatening me." Qi Yue looked at Jin Youqian expressionlessly.
Kim Yugyeom glanced at Lou Xuanzhi beside him. Seeing that Lou Xuanzhi's expression had not changed, he raised his hand to remove the sword that Qiyue was holding under his chin.
But as soon as he touched it, he was blasted away by a force.
