In the end, Gongshu Zhe still received his hard-earned fee:
Five spirit stones, all provided by Ye Yu.
The moment Gongshu Zhe got the full amount of spirit stones, he was also quite surprised.
But then, he quickly left the Wuzhi Peak at the fastest speed in his life.
Just before leaving, he didn't forget to shout, "Junior brother, you're a good person. We can continue to cooperate in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Muling's pretty face turned cold as ice.
He's a good person — does that imply I'm not?
She was about to chase after Gongshu Zhe, but Ye Yu stopped her.
Xie Muling said in a deep voice, "Junior brother, you don't understand. Spirit stones are very important to cultivators. Why did you give him so many when two would have sufficed?"
Ye Yu recounted everything that happened during the day and handed over a storage ring to Xie Muling.
"Senior sister, there are two hundred spirit stones inside. Consider it a gift from me. Please don't be angry anymore, okay?"
After a whole day of exhilarating battles, where Hongluan won so much that her bowl overflowed, she naturally didn't hesitate to reward Ye Yu generously.
Just the storage rings alone, which were used to store spirit stones, numbered ten.
For a while, Ye Yu didn't need to worry about spirit stones at all.
In fact, he never intended to seriously cultivate to break through.
What a joke!
As long as the Dream Realm system existed, hard work for ten or twenty years might not yield as much improvement as a single night's reward from the Dream Realm.
In such circumstances, how could Ye Yu possibly follow the conventional path of cultivation?
Therefore, spirit stones didn't hold much significance in his eyes.
But for Xie Muling, they were crucial tools for cultivation. Having enough spirit stones could greatly accelerate breakthroughs.
In any case, two hundred spirit stones were an enormous sum.
And he gave them to her just like that.
Xie Muling was deeply moved.
She stopped refusing and instead brought Ye Yu to the newly built bamboo pavilion, telling him that this would be his future residence.
Ye Yu liked the antique style of the bamboo pavilion very much.
But he wondered....
Whose bamboo pavilion was that next door? Why were they so close together? Almost adjoining each other.
Facing this question, Xie Muling whispered, "The bamboo pavilion next door is mine. In the future, if you have any questions about cultivation, you can come to me."
"Don't hesitate."
After saying that, Xie Muling turned and went into her bamboo pavilion.
Ye Yu felt a bit strange in his heart. This Wuzhi Peak is so big, is it really necessary to be so close?
Ye Yu entered the bamboo pavilion slowly.
He found that the environment here was basically identical to what was in Senior Sister's pavilion. Everything that should be there was present.
Hmm.
Why is there a window here?
Might as well open it and take a look.
To Ye Yu's surprise, the window opened up directly into Xie Muling's bamboo pavilion.
He could even see it clearly: Xie Muling was sitting cross-legged, quietly resting with her eyes closed.
What kind of setup is this?
Ye Yu was startled.
He asked nervously, "Senior Sister, what's going on here? Why does my room's window lead directly into yours?"
Xie Muling didn't open her eyes.
She calmly replied, "It's probably a mistake made by the disciples who built these pavilions. Don't worry about it. This way, it's convenient for us to speak through the window."
Ye Yu's face twitched slightly.
This "speaking through the window" basically means seeing everything clearly. I can see your every move, and you can see mine. What about privacy?
Ye Yu was momentarily speechless.
He quickly closed the window and said softly, "Senior Sister, there's no need for that. It's getting late, good night!"
This action made Xie Muling frown slightly.
She slowly opened her eyes.
Why did he close the window?
However, the scent coming from Junior Brother's body was as pleasant as ever.
A fascinated expression appeared on Xie Muling's usually icy face.
No, I need to find a way to get him to open the window again.
On the other side, Ye Yu sat in his room, looking strangely at the window.
Was it really a mistake by the construction hall?
He didn't believe that flimsy excuse.
But if it wasn't a mistake, what exactly did Senior Sister mean by this?
No, no matter what she means, I must seal this window. Otherwise, I'll feel uneasy sleeping at night.
Ye Yu thought for a long time and suddenly noticed the cabinet next to him.
So, he moved the cabinet over, and it happened to completely block the window.
Hmm.
This feels much better now.
Ye Yu clapped his hands.
Then he went to bed and started the Dream System.
However, just two minutes later, Ye Yu opened his eyes very displeased.
Damn.
Another life that didn't even make it to three years old.
So disgusting.
The rating is too low, not even a reward of any kind.
Counting the two from yesterday, It's like losing three times in a row.
It looks like the path of simulated life in dreams is sometimes not smooth.
Hopefully, the next simulation will be successful.
Ye Yu folded his hands together, silently praying, and began the last dream simulation of the day.
The next second, a mist suddenly appeared in his mind.
After two breaths, it slowly dissipated.
[Every dream is a new life for you!]
[Loading map and characters.]
[Selection completed!]
[Current dream talent: Celestial Yang Physique (Purple)]
[Celestial Yang Physique, the appearance of a peerless furnace. A physique that countless people dream of.]
[However, the prerequisite is that you must find a satisfying Dao companion.]
[Otherwise, with a 150*150 spherical companion, your future will be an immense nightmare, without exception.]
[But, risks and opportunities coexist. Good luck!]
Ye Yu widened his eyes suddenly.
What does this mean?
He has become a furnace?
The existence that others see as a treasure trove?
This kind of physique could drive countless cultivators crazy.
But what the system said makes perfect sense.
As for finding a Dao companion, this is crucial.
Choose right, and prosperity will follow.
Choose wrong, and it could mean a life of hell.
It might really be better to just end it and start over.
[Age 0, you were born in a sect called Hidden Heaven Valley.]
[Although it's only a second-rate sect, the internal harmony is relatively good, with much less internal strife.]
[Your father is an elder in Hidden Heaven Valley, named Ye Yan. He's an early-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.]
[Upon your birth, he noticed the difference in your physique.]
[The next day, he left the sect.]
[Age 2, you grew up gradually, and Ye Yan finally returned to the sect.]
[He fed you a Heaven Veiling Pill. This pill can conceal your innate furnace physique.]
[Externally, you appear no different from a normal person.]
[Unless they're an Integration Realm cultivator, others can't see the secrets within your body.]
[Age 3, Ye Yan told you that you must stay in Hidden Heaven Valley and cultivate diligently in the future.]
[Until you have sufficient strength, you absolutely cannot step out of Hidden Heaven Valley.]
