Chapter 682 The Original World Annihilates All Chosen Ones of Destiny (5)
Wei Yong returned to his immortal cave with a belly full of doubts and panic. Because he was restless, he was unable to cultivate normally. His mind was filled with the conspiracy and discussion of those people.
Should he tell his master about this?
He was definitely going to say it, but as he was about to leave, he suddenly realized, what if his master didn't believe him? They outnumbered him and had so many mouths, while he only had one mouth. If they directly twisted the truth and accused him of framing his fellow disciple, how could he defend himself?
You must know that in the immortal realm, the most feared thing is discord among fellow disciples.
Wei Yong tossed and turned, but finally decided to observe first and wait for those people to slip up before making his move.
I cannot let down the extra five hundred years of cultivation that my master gave me.
At dawn the next day, all the disciples gathered at the breathing platform.
They learned the breathing exercises from a young age, and even after becoming disciples, this most basic circulation of Qi would not change.
After the operation was completed, Wei Yong gave a few instructions to his fellow disciples, asking them to follow him to the Sifang Ling to collect their allowance.
The Imperial Household Office is considered a sacred place for immortals, as it houses the most precious items on the entire mountain.
Spirit stones and herbs are nothing compared to the mysterious mechanisms within the office, which also preserves rare treasures and other precious items acquired by the Immortal Venerable throughout his life. Therefore, the Immortal Venerable would only keep the spirit key in his own hands for safekeeping.
But Jin Shu was different. She directly handed the Spirit Key to Wei Yong. This level of trust made everyone suspect that Wei Yong was the son of the Immortal Venerable left behind in the mortal realm. Otherwise, why would he hand over such great power on their first meeting?
Wei Yong was also a little uneasy. After entering the room, he didn't dare to look at anything. He just took the storage box containing his salary from the shelf and immediately turned to leave.
When Wei Yong turned around, he found Chu Si standing behind him without him noticing. Before Wei Yong could react, Chu Si naturally took the box from Wei Yong's hand.
"Senior Brother, let me help you."
The thought of what he had heard last night sent a chill down Wei Yong’s spine.
"No need, it's not heavy. Also, this is a restricted area, and no one is allowed to enter without permission. You should leave now."
Chu Si showed no sign of anything amiss, and simply nodded.
"It was my junior brother who was offended. I will go out now."
Seeing that he had left, Wei Yong slowly walked out with the box in his arms. Before leaving, after making sure everything was in order, he immediately locked the door of the office with the spirit key.
After everyone had received their clothes and spirit stones, Wei Yong took the spirit key to Jin Shu to report back.
At this moment, Jin Shu was leaning against the silk couch, stroking Fei Yun's round head with one hand and leisurely cracking melon seeds with the other.
In the Immortal Realm, even the most ordinary cultivators have completely abstained from grains, let alone someone of Jin Shu's level, who doesn't need the food of the mortal world at all.
The traditional concept of cultivating immortality is that everything that enters the body is impure and impure, and only the spiritual energy exhaled during cultivation is the purest thing in the world.
So when Wei Yong saw Jin Shu eating sunflower seeds, he thought to himself.
Unexpectedly, the Immortal Venerable had such a shameful hobby.
"Master, this month's salary has been distributed. Here is the Spirit Key, which I am bringing to you."
"Okay, just leave it there, come back to pick it up next month."
Wei Yong placed the Spirit Key in front of Jin Shu and was about to leave, but he hesitated for a long time, looking stammering. Even a blind man could tell that he had something to say.
"Speak your mind. What can't you say to me on this mountain?"
"Master, will you believe what I say?"
"If I didn't trust you, would I have entrusted the Spirit Key to you for safekeeping?"
These words instantly boosted Wei Yong's confidence and determination, and he knelt down on the ground and solemnly said.
"Master, I overheard Junior Brother Chu and the others plotting a treasonous act in the cave!"
"Oh? Tell me about it."
"I overheard it by chance. They said they had a blood feud with you and that this time they became your disciples entirely for revenge."
"I am deeply grateful for my teacher's kindness, and I cannot remain indifferent. However, I fear that my teacher will not believe me, so I am filled with anxiety and unease."
Contrary to Wei Yong's expectations, Jin Shu was not angry at all; instead, she remained calm and indifferent.
Does this mean they don't believe him?
Wei Yong was filled with unease, fearing that Jin Shu might misunderstand him as someone who was deliberately sowing discord among fellow disciples, jealous that his junior brother was more outstanding than him, and thus deliberately trying to smear him.
Just as he was so nervous that he didn't know what to do, Jin Shu's voice floated down again.
"I understand. I'll handle this. You did a good job. Come here."
Jin Shu waved to Wei Yong.
Wei Yong looked up in surprise. Although he didn't know why Jin Shu was calling him, he couldn't help but stand up and slowly walk over.
Jin Shu lay on her side, raised her hand, and gently touched Wei Yong's forehead with her slender, jade-like fingertips.
The next second, a familiar shiver instantly swept through my body.
Wei Yong stared wide-eyed at Jin Shu in disbelief.
"Master...you..."
"I like honest people. You have done a great service this time. Consider this five hundred years of cultivation as a reward."
Wei Yong was so excited that he was incoherent. He knelt down with a "plop" and kowtowed to Jin Shu more than a dozen times. Each kowtow made a "thump" sound and was quite solid.
Jin Shu waved her hand.
"Go down and continue to observe. Let me know if anything happens."
"Okay, thank you, Master!"
Wei Yong left.
With so many disciples on the mountain, how could no one have seen him emerge from his master's immortal cave?
So someone mustered up the courage to go forward and ask.
"Senior brother, I feel like your cultivation has increased significantly again!"
"Really? Hahaha, you can cultivate diligently too."
"Really? Is this something that can be achieved simply through diligent cultivation?"
"Senior brother, did Master grant you more cultivation again?"
Wei Yong wanted to deny it, but then he remembered that it was a gift from his master and he couldn't lie, so he nodded.
"Master is so good to you! He gave you hundreds of years of cultivation just like that."
This matter quickly reached Chu Si's ears.
At this time, a new group of people had entered his immortal cave.
"Senior brother, Wei Yong, that fool, has somehow gained another five hundred years of Rong Qing's cultivation!"
"Senior brother, why don't you go and try to impress Rong Qing? I think Rong Qing only likes people who like to flatter him!"
The group of people in front of me are part of the fourteen apprentices.
After listening to what they said, Chu Si's brows furrowed with a hint of doubt.
"She's actually so generous?"
He gave away a thousand years of cultivation to Wei Yong!
This made the other disciples very eager to try it out, and they almost forgot the purpose of their visit.
