Chapter 64 Mysterious Sister (Please read further and vote with monthly tickets and recommendations)
The next day, just after Chen Shi (7-9 AM), Wang Yu brought Wang Xin to the Zhou family.

Zhou Ling was enjoying a delicious bowl of beef noodles when the rock rat was munching on beef jerky nearby.

Li Ru welcomed Wang Yu into the hall and thanked her repeatedly.

Of course, besides treating Zhou Shan, there's also the matter of giving Zhou Ling a spot.

Wang Yu simply nodded with a smile, then took out a pill bottle and handed it to Li Ru, saying, "These are two Nourishing Meridian Pills."

"I was in pretty good shape yesterday and managed to refine two Nourishing Meridian Pills in one go."

Li Ru accepted the pill with gratitude, then opened the bottle, but suddenly paused.

He looked at the pills inside with a surprised expression.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Zhou Ling couldn't help but ask.

Li Ru poured out the pill and looked at Wang Yu with surprise, saying, "One-Pill Pattern Nourishing Meridian Pill!"

Zhou Ling was also surprised. A second-tier, first-level pill-patterned nourishing pill. Wang Yu's alchemy skills were probably even higher than he had expected.

Based on the basic knowledge of Taoist alchemy learned at the Taoist academy.

Pills are divided into nine grades. Grade one pills are suitable for Qi Refining cultivators, while grade two pills are for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The quality of elixirs can be judged from the elixir patterns they contain.

Pills without any red patterns are considered ordinary; the more red patterns a pill contains, the higher its quality.

Take this Nourishing Meridian Pill as an example; the medicinal power contained within a single pill pattern is likely more than three times that of an ordinary pill!
Wang Yu's ability to refine a Nourishing Meridian Pill containing a single pill pattern suggests he is at least a mid-level second-grade alchemist.

Wang Yu didn't seem to care much about Li Ru and her son's surprise. She lifted the curtain and entered the room.

Zhou Shan was about to stand up and bow when Wang Yu smiled and gestured for him not to move.

He then used a thread to examine Zhou Shan's pulse to check his injuries, and said to Li Ru, "Fortunately, his constitution is good. As long as he takes the Nourishing Pulse Pill and recuperates for a while, he should be able to recover."

"Thank you, Master Wang!" Zhou Shan hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks.

Inside the hall, Zhou Ling whispered to Wang Xin, "Is your mother a mid-level second-grade alchemist?"

Wang Xin, who was curiously examining the rock rat, shook her head. "I don't know either!"

"This is a body-refining prescription, containing only low-grade first-level medicines that can help you cultivate to the second level."

"It won't cost many spirit stones, and it can assist in cultivation and also enhance physical fitness!"

"Furthermore, you should not enter the mountains for the foreseeable future."

Stepping out of the room, Wang Yu took out a jade slip from his storage ring, handed it to Li Ru, and gave her some instructions.

Li Ru nodded, took the jade slip, took out a spirit stone bag from his person, handed it to Wang Yu, and said,

"Master Wang, please accept these spirit stones. We are truly grateful for your great help! Although it's not much, it's a small token of our appreciation!"

Wang Yu shook his head and smiled, "Refining the Meridian Nourishing Pill is just a piece of cake!"

Then, noticing the pile of spirit wine in the corner of the hall, he asked, "What kind of wine is this? What's its quality like?"

"This is dark rice wine, it tastes pretty good!" Li Ru walked over and picked up two jars of fine spirit wine.

"If Master Wang enjoys drinking, I'll provide it for free from now on!"

Since Wang Yu insisted on not accepting it, she had no choice but to give up and see if she could send more spirit wine instead!

Wang Yu's eyes lit up and he smiled, "The person we're going to visit today happens to enjoy drinking. Brother Ling, could you bring us a few jars? We'll head over now!"

Upon hearing this, Li Ru hurriedly brought over the other three jars of spirit wine and asked, "Is this enough?"

"If that's not enough, I'll brew another batch!"

Since the main product currently sold is ordinary spirit wine, Li Ru has not brewed much of the finest spirit wine.

"That's enough! That's enough!" Wang Yu laughed.

Then she took Zhou Ling and Wang Xin and left the Zhou family. Before leaving, Li Ru gave Zhou Ling a few more instructions, telling him to listen to Wang Yu and to be polite and respectful when meeting seniors!

Although it was just a formality to become an apprentice, Li Ru's heart was pounding with nervousness.

My son has encountered a benefactor on his journey; whether he can seize the opportunity is up to him!

For Li Ru and the others, who came from a background of independent cultivation, they naturally knew how difficult it was to become a disciple of a Foundation Establishment cultivator!
For independent cultivators, the biggest problem is the inheritance of cultivation techniques. But even if they have the techniques, they are not very useful without the guidance of a master.

With proper techniques and guidance from renowned masters, the path of cultivation becomes much broader!

Zhou Ling smiled and reassured her mother.

······.

Zhou Ling and Wang Xin followed Wang Yu to a mountain peak to the west of Lingxia Immortal City.

The scenery here is beautiful, and even in late autumn, the wind carries the fragrance of grass and trees.

The mountains and fields are covered with red leaves, creating a magnificent sight.

However, the spiritual energy concentration here is average, there are no spiritual herbs or plants around, and we haven't seen many cultivators along the way.

Seeing this scene before him, Zhou Ling was stunned. Why would a Foundation Establishment cultivator choose such a beautiful but spiritually barren place to cultivate?

For cultivators, without spiritual energy, even the most beautiful scenery is insignificant.

Moreover, being in a place with insufficient spiritual energy for a long time, their cultivation level even regressed instead of progressed!

The three arrived at the foot of the mountain, and Wang Yu said to the other two, "An older sister lives here. She was very kind to me back then, and she doesn't like to be disturbed!"

"Next year, the two of you will be taking the outer sect assessment for the Six Great Dao Academies, so I brought you here to see my sister! I hope she's willing to teach you!"

"Mom, is this aunt more capable than you?"

Wang Xin asked curiously.

"Yes!" Wang Yu smiled and said, "This lady is an extremely capable person!"

"Is he a Foundation Establishment cultivator?" Zhou Ling asked as well.

“I don’t know his exact cultivation level, but it far surpasses mine!” Wang Yu said.

Zhou Ling couldn't help but feel a deep sense of respect.

Wang Yu was able to refine a second-tier, first-level pill with a unique pattern, which means he must have at least the Foundation Establishment cultivation level.

That's far superior to hers; wouldn't that mean she's at the late Foundation Establishment stage, or even the peak Foundation Establishment stage?

It should be noted that the highest cultivation level of the Lingxia Sect in Lingxia Immortal City consists of two ancestors at the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

In Lingxia City, cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage are already highly respected figures.

Zhou Ling was filled with curiosity and anticipation. What kind of person was the older sister that Wang Yu was talking about?
"Mother, Auntie is so amazing, how come she lives in such a place with so little spiritual energy?"

Wang Xin asked.

"My sister likes peace and quiet and doesn't want to be disturbed, so she lives here!" Wang Yu said with a smile.

"If it weren't for the fact that our Wang family had some connection with my sister, we wouldn't even be able to see her!"

"Of course, if your sister thinks you are not qualified enough and is unwilling to accept you as disciples, it would be good to receive her guidance like I have. Even if you only study for a few months, it will be enough to benefit you for a lifetime."

After that, Wang Yu said no more and led the two of them toward the mountain path.

The winding mountain road stretches towards the mountainside.

The red leaves covering the mountainside resemble clusters of rising flames.

Clusters of evergreen pines and cypresses stand tall, while mulberry and goldenrain trees in late autumn dot the red leaves of the pines and cypresses.

Soon, they rounded half a hillside and came to the end of the mountain path, where a courtyard enclosed by a bamboo fence stood.
