Chapter 984: SCR Summit, Rooting for You
They could scarcely believe he was so far away while the entire stellar region was in a frenzy over finding him. Then, he told them about the rogue planet containing ample resources, not detailing the exact contents of the Terra-Mystic Ore just in case there were stealthy eavesdroppers. He also learned that certain Heavenly Seers can pinpoint details of verbal conversations easier than determining facts from Wen Mingna.
Wu Yu and Ma Zheng were consciously ensuring no spiritual sense or strange power floated in Wei Wuyin’s direction, but who knew about the unique and esoteric means these Earthly Saints possessed? They might be able to listen in without them knowing.
Hence, Wei Wuyin kept most of the important details vague, yet he explained everything from beginning to end, eliciting awed exclamations from Xue Yifei, and an expression of amazement from Wu Baozhai. Su Mei kept her expression of total calm, entirely unreadable, but Wei Wuyin could hear her heartbeat race with excitement. Even if he didn’t, he could tell just by looking, unlike others.
He didn’t hide his journey to a strange space via an ancient formation or his capture by Trueborn and Bai Lin’s subsequent destruction of a Shadow Egg, including informing them about Yue Songli, who he fearlessly told them he was actively courting. Unfortunately, he had to depart from the Ninestar Starfield before seeing her again.
Su Mei wasn’t the slightest bit surprised by his open behavior, while Xue Yifei exhibited harmless curiosity outwardly but extremely high levels of vigilance in her heart. Yue Songli was yet another obstacle toward her chances of striving towards official wife status, having to deal with yet another competitor.
Wu Baozhai was aware of Yue Songli as the former number one Saintess before her disappearance or seclusion, a topic of much controversial discussion. It was incredible that she was kept captive for nearly five hundred years, and ascended to the Mystic Ascendant Realm during this period. It was clear to her that Trueborn wanted her for something, and this brought a cloud of concern over her heart, considering Wei Wuyin essentially declared war against this mysterious faction.
Knowing Wei Wuyin, this woman was bound to be his. After he freed her from five hundred years of captivity, he saved her once again from stronger, more terrifying captors, and openly declared her under his protection, yet Wei Wuyin didn’t immediately claim her, allowing her to choose. The tactic was top-tier, and in a society of cultivation, it was checkmate.
Wu Baozhai discreetly bit her lower lips out of stress. Just like Xue Yifei, she was feeling the pressure of losing future opportunities. Despite already deciding in her heart what she wanted to do, she felt pressured by other girls. Shockingly, she never felt like this with Long Chen, but it was probably because she was forced to be his due to circumstances, and she was making this choice herself.
It took roughly twelve hours before they finished their conversation. The sound-isolating barrier erected by Wu Yu was brought down, and Wei Wuyin stretched a little. The barrier hadn’t concealed their bodies, so there were no lewd assumptions. Still, seeing three beautiful women of outstanding strength and talent with Wei Wuyin left many sighing.
Why couldn’t they take those women’s spots?
Many men and women thought similarly, knowing that Wei Wuyin was a Mortal Sovereign Alchemist of exceptionally young age, so his Alchemic Knights were bound to be highly successful, capable of slowly growing alongside him, wanting for nothing.
Wu Baozhai looked at the misty world with a faint pout, sensing those piercing gazes, “Shall we cultivate?” The Saint Cyclic Alchemic Clash was bound to happen in six and a half days, lasting for over three years, but the opportunities here would only last for a few months. However, the diluted Astralis Essence was so generalized and consistent that it didn’t take into account their talent.
She could cultivate faster with an eighth-grade alchemical product that has the same effects.
Su Mei was at the Star Core Phase, the ninth stage of the Astral Core Realm, bringing an acute shock to Wei Wuyin. The absurd speed of her cultivation growth was as overbearing as ever. In roughly twelve years, she jumped to the peak of the Astral Core Realm from the first stage. He couldn’t help but think that almost two decades ago, she was merely at the middle-stages of the Qi Condensation Realm, and from what he could tell, her combat prowess was not suffering in the slightest—a fascinating development.
The benefits someone of Su Mei’s innate talent would receive would be minor from the golden mats, simply not worth her time absorbing diluted Astralis Essence. She was still a long way from forging her Astral Physique, and longer to refine it to the maximum and manifest her Astral Idol.
Her talent in cultivation might be exceptionally fast, but physique refinement was still an arduous task consuming tremendous amounts of resources and time. Fortunately, Wei Wuyin had the correct pill for her!
Xue Yifei was aware of Wu Baozhai’s thoughts as she glanced at all the hard-working cultivators below receiving the blessings of the Everlore Association. She had the same thought, giving Wei Wuyin a bright look! Her hazel eyes radiated her wants quite clearly.
During her stay in the Golden Life Pavilion, Xue Yifei developed a disdain for the pavilion’s nurturing practices and lack of available resources despite its grand reputation as the number one merchant association throughout the Aeternal Sky Starfield. Meanwhile, they experienced difficulties with multiple Mortal Sovereign Alchemists and tens of thousands of Emperor Alchemists to provide her products, but Wei Wuyin solely supplied nearly a dozen women for all their needs! Seeing as this was her husband, she didn’t hide her thoughts in the slightest!
Bai Lin sneakily sent to Wei Wuyin, “All aboard the dragon’s lap.” Wei Wuyin had to hold back his laughter, remembering that chubby figure that would often say the idiom: “To rise, one can ride the lap of a dragon.” It had many meanings, some explicit, some innocent, but mostly the same. A cultivator can rise in status and power by relying on a male cultivator, typically through dual cultivation or bestowal of resources.
Somehow this simple phrase became well-known, even to those in the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region. He couldn’t fathom where that hungry fellow got this from, but he fully understood why it mustered momentum in this cultivation society.
Wu Baozhai sent Wei Wuyin a few glances. It was hard to not want the dedicated treatment of an alchemist after experiencing it! The Valkyrie were all given a taste, and what a taste it was! It was such a fresh, breathtaking, and exciting experience to see growth in yourself every day as a cultivator, given top-tier resources designed for every aspect of your cultivation, that it was extremely addictive.
Su Mei kept her serene expression, a pair of unreadable eyes staring unabashedly at Wei Wuyin. She was a Starlord within a Gold-rank sect, so it was unable to satisfy any of her cultivation needs. Almost all of her resources were claimed through her own effort, and that was extremely tiring and ineffective. The act of accumulating wealth to buy alchemical products consumed far too much time, requiring several steps. Not to mention waiting for them to be available.
Wei Wuyin felt defeated, lifting his hands helplessly before the onslaught of these female cultivators’ desires. He grinned, waved his hand, and brought out three spatial rings that danced around his fingers, seemingly already prepared beforehand.
“…”
Na Xinyi kept cultivating alone, treating Wei Wuyin as if he didn’t exist, inducing a wave of speculation as many believed she had taken a Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill, even sharing a close relationship with Wu Baozhai from their close seating, but the current situation suggested that she wasn’t close to Wei Wuyin.
This gave many men promising hope for her availability. Since she was called the Extreme Yin Saintess and was a member of the Dark Yin Palace, Na Xinyi was definitely the most optimal dual cultivation partner, given her strength and talent.
There were those on the Immortal Heroes Ranking and Chosen of their respective forces that were already devising methods of approach to court this gorgeous existence.
However, while their thoughts were heavily on Na Xinyi, in Na Xinyi’s mind, only a single man could be found—Wei Wuyin! She felt a tinge of bitterness after seeing how close Xue Yifei was with him, holding in her discontent. She was comforted by the fact that Xue Yifei’s Primary Yin Source was untouched, meaning she was as virgin as a virgin could be.
She didn’t know why this comforted her.
Suddenly, she felt the spatial ring that Wei Wuyin gave her begin to emit a strange spatial fluctuation. It was extremely indistinct, and unless one was focused on it or wore the ring, they wouldn’t notice it. Curiously, she inspected her ring’s contents and her eyes widened slightly!
She hastily calmed down, closed her eyes, and kept cultivating. Within her spatial ring were several bottles and vials containing pills, elixirs, and pastes of various types. Some felt unfathomable to her, clearly of transcendent-quality. Somehow, Wei Wuyin had delivered these products!
Her heart intensely warmed and a sweet smile formed on her lips, causing a few men who kept their gazes firmly on her to lose themselves in it.
‘I must make full use of these products!’ She swore to herself, remembering every last word Wei Wuyin left her in that message, recalling what he said on the Myriad Yore Continent on the day he accepted responsibility. Her will blazed as she discovered dozens of Absolute Yin-Creation Pills! These were the essential alchemical products she needed to push her Yin Physique to higher levels, having used them before to reach the Four-Point Yin Physique.
Moreover, they were all peak-quality pills! There was even a transcendent-quality version! Her excitement at the moment was indescribable on any scale. She inspected the transcendent Absolute Yin-Creation Pill and discovered a hand-written note with two lines beside the pill bottle. It read:
“Take ONLY after consuming all the others.”
It was a warning.
Na Xinyi willed herself to calm down with several slow and deep breaths, opening her eyes to find a smiling Wei Wuyin who was teasing Xue Yifei. Her grey eyes grew unimaginably gentle.
The other line read:
“My wife, I’m rooting for you.”
To have a partner that is willing to support you unconditionally, and constantly think about you, was what Na Xinyi wished for. Given all these products that were highly suitable for her, they were not concocted in a day, so she knew Wei Wuyin’s feelings. She closed her eyes once again, her spirit roused to the limits.
