The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Hidden Moon Sect, Qingyue Palace.

"Junior sister! Junior sister!"

Old Monster Qiong flew into the main hall and immediately started shouting loudly.

"Senior brother, I'm not far from you, didn't you sense me?"

A beautiful woman dressed in pure white with a frosty complexion suddenly appeared and said something with a speechless expression.

"Uh, hahaha, isn't this your inner chamber, Junior Sister? Men and women should keep to themselves."

Old Monster Qiong looked rather embarrassed, and said with a serious expression.

"Alright, senior brother, you didn't come here just to visit me, did you?"

Zhou Qingning waved her hand and looked at Old Monster Qiong seriously, asking him a question.

She couldn't do anything about her senior brother. Although she was a Nascent Soul cultivator, they were from the same sect, so there was no barrier between them because of the difference in cultivation level. She just couldn't stand her senior brother's personality.

"I have taken on a disciple, and I would like to use the Hundred Spirits Pool to help him build his foundation."

Old Monster Qiong chuckled and revealed his purpose.

"Oh? Is it that disciple with the lightning spiritual root? If it is him, it's not impossible, but he has to agree to one condition."

Zhou Qingning's expression shifted slightly, and he immediately understood who Old Monster Qiong's disciple was.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator of the Hidden Moon Sect, how could she not know about the entry into the Thunder Spirit Root?

Previously, because of the Heavenly Spiritual Root of the Yan Family Fortress, she had refused her senior brother's idea of ​​taking her as a disciple, so she could not refuse the request to use the Hundred Spirit Pool.

Zhou Qingning intends to personally cultivate the Heavenly Spiritual Root of Yan Family Fortress, hoping to establish a deep relationship between it and the Zhou family in order to enhance the strength of her Zhou family.

"Conditions? Junior sister, tell me."

Old Monster Qiong's expression shifted slightly, then calmly turned indifferent as he asked the question.

"As long as he agrees to become a cultivation partner with Zhou Yibao, I will lend him the Hundred Spirits Pool."

Zhou Qingning smiled, but she intended to tie one of her Zhou family's talented women to Lu Yao.

"Zhou Yibao? That dual-spiritual-root guy from your Zhou family?"

Old Monster Qiong paused slightly, then immediately retrieved information about Zhou Yibao from his mind.

“That’s right. It’s not an insult to him to have two spiritual roots paired with a different spiritual root. Besides, Zhou Yibao is the most outstanding spiritual root talent of this generation in the Zhou family.”

Zhou Qingning's expression revealed a hint of pride, clearly indicating that she believed Lu Yao was out of his league.

As a representative of the new generation of the Zhou family, she would never lack resources. She would eat all kinds of precious pills like candy and possess exquisite magical artifacts. She was truly a noble lady from a prestigious family.

Furthermore, if Lu Yao could become a Daoist couple with Zhou Yibao, he would indirectly be able to latch onto the coattails of Zhou Qingning, a Nascent Soul cultivator, which would bring him many benefits.

"This... I still need to ask my disciple's opinion, after all, a Daoist couple should be based on mutual consent."

Old Monster Qiong's heart stirred slightly, and he understood that this would be of great benefit to Lu Yao, but he couldn't make the decision for Lu Yao, so he planned to go back and ask.

"As it should be."

Zhou Qingning nodded in agreement; matters concerning Daoist partners still require the consent of the parties involved.

However, she was confident that with such excellent conditions, Lu Yao would have no reason to refuse.

As for Zhou Yibao, Zhou Qingning was confident that she could persuade her. The interests of the family must always take precedence over personal feelings; this was Zhou Yibao's destiny.

This is also the awareness that a family cultivator should have.

After leaving the Azure Moon Palace, Old Monster Qiong went to the main hall of the Hidden Moon Sect and found Ni Chang.

"Uncle Qiong."

When Ni Chang saw that Qiong Laoguai had returned, she looked somewhat puzzled.

“That kid has already become my disciple. He has now reached the Qi Refining stage and is about to establish his foundation. Give me some Foundation Establishment Pills, just in case.”

Old Monster Qiong stated his purpose directly, showing that there was no need to be so polite to the younger generation.

“Since Junior Brother Lu is going to establish his foundation, it is only right that the sect provides him with Foundation Establishment Pills.”

Ni Chang nodded and took out two Foundation Establishment Pills from her storage bag.

Now that Lu Yao has become Qiong Laoguai's disciple, his seniority has greatly increased, and even Ni Chang has to call Lu Yao her junior brother. This is, of course, because of Qiong Laoguai's influence.

If Old Monster Qiong were dead and Lu Yao were still in the Qi Refining stage, then that title of "Junior Brother" would definitely never come from her mouth again.

Two? Not enough.

Old Monster Qiong sensed the Foundation Establishment Pill in the bottle and shook his head calmly.

"This... Uncle Qiong, does this violate the sect rules?"

Ni Chang's face fell; she suddenly realized that being the sect leader wasn't easy.

"The unique spiritual root is the future pillar of the sect. A few more Foundation Establishment Pills are just in case. Give us two more."

Old Monster Qiong chuckled and gave a reason that left Ni Chang feeling quite helpless.

"Please understand, Uncle Qiong. Three pills are already the limit. We really can't give any more. The Foundation Establishment Pills are all recorded in the sect. If we give any more to Ni Chang, we can only apologize to Uncle Zhou."

Ni Chang's delicate face turned almost into a bitter gourd as she gritted her teeth and took out another Foundation Establishment Pill.

"Of course, my uncle can understand my difficulties. Three is fine, let's go."

Old Monster Qiong smiled and waved to Ni Chang before transforming into a rainbow of light and disappearing.

"Ugh, my head hurts."

Ni Chang rubbed her fair forehead with her slender fingers, a bitter smile playing on her lips.

……

While strolling around the Hidden Moon Sect, Lu Yao arrived at the Hidden Moon Sect's Dharma Repository.

The Hidden Dharma Pavilion contains a vast array of cultivation techniques and spells. Apart from the inheritances of the other six sects and some immortal cultivation families, it encompasses almost all the cultivation techniques and spells of the Yue Kingdom, making it extremely comprehensive.

Just as Lu Yao was about to go in and take a look, a voice came from behind him.

"So you're that bumpkin with the strange spiritual root?"

Upon hearing the voice, Lu Yao turned around and saw a handsome young man dressed in white with disdain in his eyes.

A man and a woman followed behind him, both disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect.

"Country bumpkin? Who are you?"

Lu Yao was stunned. How come there are people with mental problems like this everywhere?

Lu Yao only glanced at him before realizing that this person came from a family of cultivators, or was some kind of second-generation immortal.

Otherwise, why would an ordinary person offend people like this? Especially a genius like him, isn't he afraid of secretly plotting against others later?

Only disciples born with a special key to immortality would be so arrogant and make enemies everywhere in order to show off their noble status.

"I am Zhou Qingyun from the Zhou family. My grandfather is the White Crane Immortal."

Zhou Qingyun raised his head, revealing an expression of waiting for Lu Yao to bow down and pay homage.

"The Zhou family? Are they that powerful?"

Lu Yao's heart stirred; he hadn't expected that there would be such a powerful family within the Hidden Moon Sect.

But Lu Yao thought about it and realized it made sense. Wherever there are people, there is a world of its own, and forming cliques is inevitable.

"You don't even know the Zhou family? You really are a country bumpkin! I'll give you a chance. Follow me from now on, and I guarantee you'll be able to walk around the Hidden Moon Sect with your head held high. Reaching the Core Formation stage in the future isn't impossible."

Zhou Qingyun immediately revealed a contemptuous expression and pointed at Lu Yao, saying indifferently.
