Shenwu Yutianlei

"Come in." Shen Batian sat upright in his seat, and a majestic voice rang out.

Zhao Zhong, dressed in guard uniform, walked in with a simple and honest young man, who was Zhao Cheng.

"Master, Young Master." Zhao Zhong greeted Shen Batian and Shen Yun.

"Uncle Zhao." Shen Yun also greeted Zhao Zhong. He had great respect for this loyal guard of his father. After all, a strong man at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm was highly respected throughout Liucheng.

"What are you still standing there for? Come and meet the master and the young master!" Zhao Zhong frowned, raised his foot and gently kicked his son beside him, with a hint of blame in his tone, and signaled him with his eyes to salute quickly.

Zhao Cheng was kicked by his father and scratched his head in confusion, with a simple smile on his face, looking a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment, then took a small step forward, bowed his head and said, "Hey, hello, old master, hello, young master." His voice was not loud, and there was a hint of restraint in his tone, as if he was trying to make himself more respectful.

“No need to be polite”

"Old Zhao, you have followed me for many years. Let me ask you again, are you willing to let Zhao Cheng follow Yun'er to leave Liucheng and protect his safety?" Shen Batian looked at Zhao Zhong with sharp eyes.

"Master, just give your orders. It is Cheng'er's blessing to be able to follow the young master. Back then, the young master was gifted and suppressed the entire young generation in Liucheng. I believe that what we are experiencing now is only temporary. When the master achieves the golden elixir and eliminates the evil for the young master, the young master will surely return as a king again!" Zhao Zhong answered without hesitation, his eyes revealing determination and loyalty.

"Okay," Shen Batian nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction, and then said, "Old Zhao, it has been a while since you reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm, right?"

"Reporting to the master, I successfully advanced to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm two months ago. I am where I am today thanks to your careful care and generous provision of cultivation resources." Zhao Zhong replied gratefully. Indeed, the reason why Shen Batian has a group of loyal guards around him is related to his generosity towards his subordinates.

"Well, you continue to work hard on it for a while. When my cultivation reaches a higher level, I will definitely find a foundation-building pill for you." Shen Batian made a promise.

Zhao Cheng was delighted and knelt on one knee, "Thank you very much, Master. My father and I will serve you till our death."

This is not surprising. It is understandable that Zhao Cheng would lose his composure like this. After all, the foundation-building pill is indeed a rare treasure. In the entire Liucheng, there are tens of millions of cultivators in the Qi training realm. With such a huge base, there are less than a hundred cultivators who have reached the foundation-building realm. Moreover, most of these cultivators in the foundation-building period come from the four powerful families, or the patriarchs or elders of some small families. As for the independent cultivators in the foundation-building realm, there are also some lucky people in this world who accidentally enter the cave of the masters, get some opportunities, and soar into the sky, but these people are a minority after all. For ordinary cultivators, they may not be able to get a foundation-building pill in their lifetime. This precious pill is like the stars in the sky, out of reach and can only be looked up at.

The reason why the foundation-building pill is so precious is that it is expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it. On the black market, an ordinary foundation-building pill is sold for as much as one million gold coins; secondly, it is extremely difficult to refine and requires at least a second-level alchemist to refine it. Most importantly, it is also extremely difficult to collect the raw materials for refining the foundation-building pill. Among them, several main medicinal materials can only grow in the depths of the Million Mountains outside the city. To obtain these medicinal materials, you need to go deep into the Million Mountains. However, the Million Mountains are a paradise for monsters, and some high-value medicinal materials are often guarded by monsters. If you want to pick medicinal materials, you must first solve the guarding monsters. Various difficulties can be imagined. Therefore, the foundation-building pill has become a treasure that countless cultivators dream of. Moreover, most of the foundation-building pills are concentrated in the hands of the four major families. Except for one or two pills that occasionally appear on the black market, it is difficult for ordinary people to find one even if they have a fortune.

"Well, get up. It's getting late. Come with me to the Liu family. As for Zhao Cheng, you should stay with Yun'er from now on." After Shen Batian finished speaking, he stood up and walked out.

Before leaving, Zhao Zhong repeatedly reminded Zhao Cheng: "Cheng'er, remember to put the young master first in everything and listen to the young master. Do you understand?"

"Father, I understand. I will protect Young Master Yun." Zhao Cheng nodded solemnly.

"Yes, young master, then Old Zhao will take his leave first. I'll have to trouble you to take care of Zhao Cheng in the future." Zhao Zhong bowed to Shen Yun.

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhao"

After Zhao Zhong left, only Shen Yun and Zhao Cheng were left in the yard. Shen Yun finally had time to look at this simple-minded boy who was not much older than him.

Feeling Shen Yun's gaze, Zhao Cheng scratched his head again and called out "Young Master Yun".

Shen Yun smiled slightly, feeling very fond of this honest young man. "Zhao Cheng, my safety will be in your hands from now on."

"Don't worry, Master Yun, I promised my father that I would protect you."

"Haha, okay, then we'll wait and see. Go pick a room for yourself and tell the servants if you need anything."

"Okay, Master Yun, I'll go pick a room first, hehe."

After Shen Yun returned to the room, he gently closed the door, then walked to the bed and sat cross-legged. He closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and began to examine his current situation.

Fortunately, his cultivation is gradually recovering, and as a blessing in disguise, he has successfully mastered the power of thunder and lightning and planted thunder and lightning seeds in his dantian. This is undoubtedly exciting good news, adding more possibilities to his future.

Secondly, he was looking forward to his wedding in a month. After the wedding, he would settle in Xihou Village, and he would be able to practice with more peace of mind, without having to be as cautious as he was now. However, although the evil power had been removed, the mastermind behind it was still a mystery. This was like a sword of Damocles hanging over his head, which made Shen Yun unable to rest assured.

In order to find out who was behind the scenes, Shen Yun must have his own power, or power that can be mobilized. It is not realistic to rely on himself, but all this can only be gradually realized after the wedding. In the next month, he decided to concentrate on cultivation without distraction, improve his strength, and prepare for future challenges. At least before the wedding, he must restore his cultivation to the fifth level of Qi training.
