Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Youth Forever

Shen Qinghan indeed hadn't eaten such things before, filled with emotions and touch, didn't know what to say.

Yuchi signaled that there was no problem.

He then brought Shen Qinghan to an open space.

"What do you see?" Yuchi asked pretending to be profound.

"Flowers...grass?" Shen Qinghan blinked, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, "And butterflies?"

"Not just these."

Yuchi's fingers formed into sword formulas, casually waving twice in front, tip of the toe lifted, finger pointed.

"Transform!"

Transform my foot.

In fact, he just took out the Flying Lotus Array from the Immortal Stone.

The earth sank, heavenly water poured down, in Shen Qinghan's dumbfounded state, a lotus flower emerged from the pool.

Looking at this, what was originally nothing, has now turned into a lotus pond?!

So beautiful!

Shen Qinghan lay by the shore looking at her own black little face, her eyes full of shock.

Senior brother is too...

So amazing!

[Shen Qinghan, Mortal Realm Fifth Level, Sect Favorability: Full.]

Yuchi was helpless.

Reached full already? As expected, Qinghan is such a good-natured girl.

"From now on, Qinghan, you can cultivate on the lotus leaf, this place is a Blessed Land, it can increase your cultivation speed!"

"This is a small reward from this Sect Leader to you."

"Keep cultivating diligently, there will be more good things in the future."

Yuchi patted Shen Qinghan's little head.

"Eternal youth, Han'er!"

"Eternal youth, Sect Leader Senior Brother!"

"Hmm! Now cultivate, if you need anything, just summon the Immortal Stone directly." Yuchi pointed to the Immortal Stone in the center of the area.

The Immortal Stone is indestructible, and it can communicate with him.

Previously, Yuchi did not plan the details for the Ascension Gate, all this can be used for now, and later when enough Dao points are collected.

Then just directly upgrade the Immortal Stone.

From the next upgrade of the Immortal Stone onwards, the sect will have the Mountain Protection Array!

Yuchi then smiled lightly, no need to stay here, and before Shen Qinghan came back to her senses, he had already disappeared.

Leaving little girl Shen Qinghan exquisitely standing by the lotus pond!

The water is crystal clear!

Even fish in the water can be seen!

So beautiful!

If my parents' spirits in heaven can see such a good result, they would definitely be at ease with me!

Shen Qinghan rubbed her tears, and obediently went to cultivate.

However...

However, Sect Leader Senior Brother is so mysterious, comes and goes in a rush.

In the future, I must repay Sect Leader Senior Brother properly.

Next time...

Next time, I should ask Sect Leader Senior Brother what his name is.

Shen Qinghan lightly arrived on a lotus leaf of the lotus pond, closed her eyes on a big leaf.

Swallowed the Yuan Absorption Pill, and immediately felt the pores open.

With the help of the array, she has never felt so good!

That feeling.

Really unforgettable!

And if Yuchi were present, he would notice Shen Qinghan's little face gradually cracking, not exploding...

It's because she is slowly transforming.

The shattered black shell fell on the lotus and vanished, she was as serious in her cultivation as she could be!

Mortal Realm Ninth Level is Qi Cultivation Realm!

Qi Cultivation Realm Thirteenth Level is Foundation Establishment!

Once having Foundation Establishment cultivation, in a town like Xufu Town, as long as one doesn't act recklessly, there won't be any problem!

...

Yuchi returned to the Wei Mansion, sweating all over.

Was squatting.

Wondering if fairies squatted too.

Probably not, already a fairy.

Yuchi was now very happy, the saying to know the outside, not the inside, but now he knows Shen Qinghan is absolutely reliable.

Ask the world, what is better than this?

Nothing.

Knowing oneself is the most important.

With the surge of fire spiritual qi within his body, Yuchi felt his physique become much more comfortable.

He broke through once again.

Directly advancing from the fifth level of the Mortal Realm to the sixth level.

By the time Yuchi left the restroom with a frown, he had already advanced to the seventh level of the Mortal Realm.

What else could Yuchi say?

"Qinghan is truly remarkable and diligent. When there's a chance in the future, I'll have her come out for a stroll with me. She can't be cultivating all the time."

Yuchi thought to himself.

He needed to show human concern. Although he was already very good to Shen Qinghan, nothing like this was present in other sects, he wouldn't be arrogant or burn bridges.

He'd rather have fewer people in the sect than harm these kids he trusts so much.

"And since Qinghan is fire-attributed, I should also try to find some good disciples, a junior sister to keep her company in the future."

Cultivation sects, cultivators have eight attributes.

Water, fire, thunder, wind, earth, wood, yin, and yang.

The progression starts from the Mortal Realm to Foundation Establishment, then to Crystal Formation and beyond, each step harder than reaching the heavens.

If a person is alone, it's very difficult to break through to Foundation Establishment.

But Yuchi is different; he has disciples to help him.

The disciples assist him, allowing him to earn more money, which he can then use to support the disciples in return.

This is a positive cycle.

In this way, Yuchi believed his Ascension Gate could become the number one sect in the Nine Provinces!

And he would become a renowned elder Sect Leader.

"Right now, two things are laid out before me."

"Firstly, money is never too much; I need a lot of Dao points, especially for upgrading the Immortal Stone. The first upgrade requires me to spend a hundred thousand Dao points."

"Secondly, I need to find new disciples. Otherwise, Qinghan alone would be too lonely."

Thinking this.

His door was knocked on.

The visitor was his big brother Wei Zhe.

A rare smile appeared on Wei Zhe's face. After Yuchi invited him into his room, he had a cup of tea.

"Third Brother, now Second Brother doesn't dare to gamble anymore. He just told me he really won't dare next time, asking me to come and apologize on his behalf, to forgive him this once as he has elders and children to care for," Wei Zhe said with a laugh.

The two of them laughed at the same time.

"Isn't that right? Other things can be done, but you shouldn't even touch things like gambling," Yuchi said with a smile.

"Indeed, he probably won't dare for quite a while. The casino is very angry over the ten thousand taels of silver. If he goes, he won't make it out alive," Wei Zhe said, putting down the tea cup with a broad smile, "No wonder you're my Third Brother. I indeed underestimated you. But in crucial moments, you stand up, otherwise, if it were just me and Father, it would be very troublesome for the two of us."

"No problem," Yuchi waved his hand, "but since you're here, there is something I want to ask you about."

"What's the matter?" Wei Zhe poured himself and Yuchi another cup of tea.

Thanking him, Yuchi also asked, "What's going on with the Twelve Linked Huts? I heard someone at the casino mention it yesterday; I never paid attention to such things before, so I'm not clear on what problems our Wei Mansion is facing now."

"Here's the situation," Wei Zhe was very pleased Yuchi raised the question, even though it was hard to solve, but he explained, "Do you know what business our Wei Mansion is in?"

"Seemingly selling clothes?" Yuchi guessed.

"Yes, our Xufu Town is a major area for clothing, about ten percent of the clothes in the town are controlled by us. We sell them through water transportation, and that's our business," Wei Zhe said. "So the water route is very important to us."

"I understand..." Yuchi could comprehend.

To be rich, build roads first.

Here, the road refers not just to roads but to transportation routes. If the transportation route is gone, no matter how good the products if they can't be sold, what's the point?

"And the Twelve Linked Huts control the water transportation's power. They're ten times stronger than our Wei Mansion but are very principled. Originally, we agreed on a price and they handled it, but recently, a problem arose. The twelfth boss we allied with got sick, severely ill, and poisoned. In his absence, his subordinates started causing trouble, asking sky-high prices, giving us a headache," Wei Zhe said with some heartache.

Yuchi understood.

It's like this everywhere.

When in power, flattery surrounds you; once you're out, even a dog won't glance at you.

It's not because you're formidable, but respect is given due to your position, a reverence for authority.

"What poison was he afflicted with?" Yuchi wondered.

"No idea," Wei Zhe shook his head, "Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators have come to examine him, but all shook their heads."

"Can I go visit him?" Yuchi asked.

"Ah? You want to visit? Now?" Wei Zhe was surprised.

"Yes, I'll take a look, see if I can save him," Yuchi said, "This is very important, isn't it?"

"It's important," Wei Zhe said, "But how can you help him? Do you know medicine, Third Brother?"

"I know a little," Yuchi said calmly.

In reality...

He, of course, didn't know.

But things in the Immortal Stone could be exchanged; once he figured out what illness the person had, he could exchange for a cure.

After saving this eighteenth boss, the benefits would be substantial.

He happened to have nine thousand Dao points, couldn't this lift a boss's life?

Yuchi did not believe it wouldn't.

"Alright!" Wei Zhe thought for a moment, "Then let's go visit first. Even if we can't cure him, it's our last show of friendship."

"Yes, alright."

Yuchi said with a smile.
