Chapter 977: Chapter 121 Talismans
A woman who looked to be around thirty years old appeared in front of Zhao Yu, her eyes filled with a hint of vigilance as she asked.
“It should be me asking you, this house is mine…”
Zhao Yu took out a token and flung it over.
The woman caught it and took a look, immediately revealing an embarrassed expression, “This house has been uninhabited for many years, I just occasionally used it to dry some clothes, I didn’t expect…”
She coughed once and returned to normal, smiling, “I’m Liu Wenxuan, I live next door to you. What should I call this young fellow Daoist?”
With her level of progress, she naturally saw at a glance that Zhao Yu was only at the first Realm of Qi Cultivation.
“Zhao Yu!”
After a brief introduction, Liu Wenxuan began to move the clothes that were in the house.
Zhao Yu noticed that there was a small pink bed in the bedroom, and from the looks of the bedding, it was obvious that the woman had lived there for quite some time.
What confused him was that any disciple of Shushan, even without money, could apply for a free house here—why didn’t she apply for one?
“Alright, I’ve taken my things, you can move in now…”
Liu Wenxuan had a storage bag, and with just a few moves, she cleaned up the house.
“Thank you, fellow Daoist!”
Zhao Yu cupped his hands in thanks and watched her leave before looking around the room.
The house wasn’t big, only a bit over thirty square meters, but it was spotlessly clean thanks to the female cultivator, better than what he had expected.
Zhao Yu couldn’t be bothered to wonder why she didn’t apply for her own housing and instead chose to live here. He tidied up a bit and then settled down directly.
After familiarizing himself with the surroundings over a few days, Zhao Yu resumed his regular routine and began to travel back and forth to Medicine Valley.
However, to his slight disappointment, the little witch Mo Cai’er, who had previously shown a great burst of energy, had not visited again, seeming to have lost interest in visiting Medicine Valley.
“Losing interest is also normal, after all, she probably came here just for fun…”
Zhao Yu also tried to harvest energy from other people, but the results were negligible.
However, during this time, Zhao Yu’s spiritual energy reached an ultimate level of refinement.
His spiritual energy, born through energy harvesting, belonged to the most pure category, and now it had reached a level of purity that others would need years or even decades to achieve.
Seeing that he wasn’t gaining much from Medicine Valley anymore, Zhao Yu started to think about leaving the place.
Who would have known, just as he was about to leave after finishing in Medicine Valley for the day, Mo Cai’er suddenly appeared, blocking his path.
“Dummy!”
Mo Cai’er called out immediately upon seeing him, her eyes seemingly filled with a bit of triumph.
“What is it?!”
Seeing her show up, Zhao Yu felt a bit happy himself, which meant he could “shear the sheep” again.
However, he didn’t show it on his face because he knew too well that when dealing with offspring from elite families like her, he couldn’t be too polite.
“Humph!”
Mo Cai’er frowned and then said with pride, “You’ve been cultivating here for so long, how has your Spiritual Power refining gone?!”
“Not bad!”
Zhao Yu replied casually.
“Hehe, what do you mean ‘not bad’?!”
The girl beside Mo Cai’er took the initiative to say, “Spiritual Power refining has three Realms. Either you haven’t reached one, or you’ve reached a particular Realm—there’s no transitional stage. Does ‘not bad’ mean you’ve reached a certain Realm?!”
“Looking at you, I know you’ve wasted these months!”
“But that’s also normal. For someone from a humble background like you, coming here is just squandering talent, wasting time…”
Mo Cai’er picked up from there, “No, squandering talent is for those who have talent. Someone like him, at eighteen years old and only at the first stage of Qi Cultivation, what’s the use of practicing anything? It’s all in vain!”
“Hmm…”
Zhao Yu pondered for two seconds and then asked, “Did you come here just to say this?!”
[Received +99 energy from Mo Cai’er’s annoyance]
“What is that attitude, you, you you you…”
Mo Cai’er was somewhat angry. In her view, Zhao Yu being spoken to like that should have made him angry.
But to her surprise, he seemed completely indifferent, which made her feel like a fool.
The girl beside Mo Cai’er became anxious when she saw Mo Cai’er getting worked up and boasted, “Kid, you have no idea what is called an exceptional talent. Our Cai’er is only fifteen years old today, yet she has already refined her Spiritual Power to the first Realm’s refining stage…”
Mo Cai’er immediately showed a smug smile on her face, as if waiting to see Zhao Yu’s shocked expression.
“Refining stage, is that impressive?!”
To their shock, something unexpected happened.
Zhao Yu casually released a little Spiritual Power, and a wave of extremely pure fluctuation spread out.
“This is…” Mo Cai’er’s eyes widened in disbelief, staring at that trace of Spiritual Power fluctuation, suspecting she was seeing things.
“Sorry, but I’ve already reached the highest realm of purity, and I don’t plan to come to this Medicine Valley anymore. You guys go ahead with your practice!”
After speaking, Zhao Yu left nonchalantly.
To be fair, he could have stayed there and continued harvesting energy from Mo Cai’er.
But he was well aware of the difference between being sated once and always being sated. For a young mistress of a big family like Mo Cai’er, he needed to play it like this, to keep drawing her in, to achieve the purpose of continuously gaining energy.
Sure enough, long after he left, Mo Cai’er and her friend hadn’t recovered yet, their expressions still filled with confusion and shock.
