Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Manager Li watched with considerable emotion as she filled her storage bag with silver. Instead of grabbing it all at once, she counted it one by one and put it in!

Zhu Wuyao, however, thought this behavior was quite normal.

Of course, she wanted every single penny to feel her own appreciation.

She didn't even forget the plaque; she put it in her storage bag. Although she couldn't openly display it to protect her vest, it was better to keep it hidden inside the house.

When I have nothing to do, I take it out and admire it.

Isn't it beautiful?

Zhu Wuyao spent the night in a small courtyard in Beixuan City, where the lease was about to expire in a few days.

If one's cultivation method is related to destiny, then one should have the most opportunities to cultivate in Beixuan City and should therefore cultivate faster.

It's probably a kind of metaphysical psychological suggestion.

First, consume some of the spiritual energy within your body.

She stirred things up in the courtyard for quite a while, setting fires, creating wind, and occasionally manipulating objects over short distances. With the help of the Swift Movement Technique, her figure flashed quickly across the courtyard.

The flash of inspiration appeared and disappeared intermittently, and was rather faint.

Unfortunately, his cultivation level was too low, and the barrier couldn't cover the entire courtyard.

After some effort, I finally heard a voice—

"A ghost...a ghost! Help!"

The passerby, drunk, returned home and saw a faint light coming from the courtyard. Emboldened by the alcohol, he peered over the wall.

Good guy!

One moment a strong wind was blowing, the next a will-o'-the-wisp was spontaneously combusting, and one could even see figures drifting around. The man thought he was hallucinating because he was drunk.

I rubbed my eyes and when I opened them again, I saw a stone slowly gliding past in front of me!

Terrified, it fell to the ground, let out a wail, and vanished in a flash.

Zhu Wuyao was also somewhat bewildered. Her divine sense couldn't reach very far, and she had inadvertently left an innocent passerby with psychological trauma...

Fortunately, Gu Lang's family doesn't usually rush to rent out their courtyard, and there are many cultivators in Beixuan City.

Otherwise, if this rumor gets out, it will truly be an undeserved disaster.

Only after the spiritual energy in her dantian was completely depleted did she begin to circulate the Qi Refining chapter of the Sky-Gazing Technique.

Breathing freely, inexhaustible...

The spiritual energy around him seemed to be attracted, quickly forming a vortex that poured into his dantian and continued to flow. Zhu Wuyao seized the opportunity and transformed it into spiritual power, which flowed through his eight extraordinary meridians.

Her cultivation had already shown signs of breakthrough when she was in the Mirror Realm.

Today, Zhu Wuyao will take advantage of the spaciousness and rapid absorption of spiritual energy within his dantian to break through his original limits with the force of a cloud swallowing.

This allows the dantian to hold more spiritual energy.

She felt as if her body were a tributary and the world was a vast ocean. As the Sky-Gazing Technique was activated, the barrier in the middle was completely broken through.

Spiritual energy filled his dantian, and the force of the impact expanded its boundaries.

Tonight, I've reached the fourth level of Qi Refining.

call--

Zhu Wuyao focused his mind and received the overflowing spiritual energy.

I don't know how many times this method can be used. Sigh, based on her experience, although this method is useful, it is ultimately limited.

Otherwise, if she came once a day and established her foundation in ten days, what a glorious sight that would be!

It seems that it can only be used when the mirror is about to be broken, to recklessly use the Sky-Gazing Technique to complete the last one percent of the progress bar.

The true application of the art of clairvoyance lies in seizing the flaws in the workings of the heavens when altering someone's fate, thereby plundering spiritual energy.

The experiment just now confirmed Zhu Wuyao's suspicion that the so-called "making a move to establish a connection" was probably not a true act of defying fate. Otherwise, he should have sensed something when he used the Heavenly Observation Technique.

It seems that the fluctuations are limited to the range of one's destiny.

For example, if someone is destined to be moderately wealthy, they may become slightly richer, but they cannot become extremely wealthy or impoverished.

Thinking of this, Zhu Wuyao suddenly took out the "Sky-Gazing Technique".

Looking at the four characters above that I had never understood before, I seemed to be deep in thought.

Deceiving Heaven and concealing fate...

This method of returning the gift after making a bet seems to have a hint of deceiving heaven and concealing fate.

It is extremely limited.

If you gain something that is not destined for you, you will surely lose it; it is taken away by Heaven.

After cultivating the ability to see into the heavens, one can use certain actions to benefit others, and in the unseen realm, one can take the place of destiny and become their new "creditor".

Upon closer inspection, however, I realized that my own abilities as a "creditor" are extremely limited.

Once the connection is established, if it is not reciprocated, the relationship will fade.

If the cause and effect cannot be reconciled, fate will eventually notice again.

If the benefits one receives exceed what one is destined to receive, one must still return them to the will of Heaven.

The next day, Zhu Wuyao hurriedly returned to Zhaixing Tower.

He led the radish back to his little courtyard.

Before she could even go back, she saw a few people scattered around ahead. She intended to just walk past them, but amidst the arguing, she vaguely heard a familiar voice.

Xiao Liuzi?

"Since you have nowhere to use your spirit stones anyway, why don't you lend them to us for a while, and we'll pay you back later."

"Yeah, and it's supposed to be a mutated wind spirit root, but it still hasn't been able to draw qi into its body."

"Hurry up and bring it over. If you really can't, your brothers will exchange it with your contribution points. Don't be ungrateful."

Zhu Wuyao stood not far away and tied the radish to the tree.

Judging from their clothes, these people were all outer disciples, and they seemed capable of fighting. As far as she knew, outer disciples could enter the inner sect if they passed the assessment.

Standing not far away, Zhu Wuyao did not rashly offer her help. She could only help temporarily, not permanently. If Xiao Liuzi did not dare to resist, she would only be doing useless work.

It wasn't until Xiao Liuzi uttered the words "I won't give it to you," and the people surrounding him were about to slap him, that Zhu Wuyao activated his Swift Movement Technique.

The hilt of the bladeless sword struck the man's wrist. Caught off guard, he recoiled in pain and tried to retaliate, but the scabbard struck his chest. The blade extended an inch, not enough to injure him, but enough to send a chill down his spine.

The next instant, the scabbard broke off and slammed into the waist of another attacking outer disciple.

She turned to avoid the other person, and just as she was about to unleash her chilling power, a mocking voice reached her ears—

"Oh ho, are you bullying people here?"

Seeing the figure in the red dress appear, the group was somewhat surprised, not expecting Senior Sister Ye to come here.

They reacted quickly, pointing fingers at Zhu Wuyao and turning the tables on him:

"Fifth Senior Sister, it's her! We were discussing exchanging contribution points for spirit stones with this junior brother when he attacked his fellow disciple, taking advantage of his status as an inner disciple."

Ye Xiaozhou chuckled, lightly raised his finger, and lifted the group up with spiritual energy, then said:

"I'm talking about you guys."

As soon as he finished speaking, he withdrew his spiritual power, causing the group to fall heavily to the ground, scattering dust everywhere.

Ye Xiaozhou moved closer to Zhu Wuyao and asked:

"You're here early, what do you think is the best way to handle this?"

Zhu Wuyao whispered:

"How would I know? These people probably bully and oppress their fellow disciples. Are there any rules in the sect regarding this?"

Ye Xiaozhou looked at her with disapproval and asked, "Wouldn't that be too cheap for these things?"

"Is there a rule against harming fellow disciples?"

Ye Xiaozhou seemed to have been reminded of something, and she suddenly realized:

"That's right! If we can expel people from the Star-Picking Tower, then I can bully them, right?"
