784: Mu Bai Tie's opportunity

Immediately, his face broke into an extremely enthusiastic, even fawning smile. He jogged up to Yao Delong and bowed deeply, maintaining a very humble posture:

"Benefactor Yao! It is an honor to have you here! This junior failed to welcome you from afar; I deserve ten thousand deaths! Ten thousand deaths! Quick, quick, please come inside! Please come inside!"

He was so excited that he was incoherent. This was Benefactor Yao! The true pillar of White Cloud City! His father, Mu Long, owed everything he had today to this man!

Seated in the luxurious yet elegant reception hall of the City Lord's Manor, Mu Baitie personally served the finest spiritual tea from the manor's private collection, its fragrance filling the air.

"Benefactor Yao, you must have come to see my father, right?" Mu Baitie spoke cautiously, with the utmost respect. "Unfortunately, my father and Uncle Liu received an urgent order from the King a few days ago. They led the city's elites to Biqiu City to provide reinforcements."

He explained, "Recently, the Great Desolate Forest has been extremely unsettled. Powerful Yao Beasts and even transformed Yao cultivators have been frequently attacking the border! Biqiu City is on the front lines and is under immense pressure! The King has been mobilizing personnel and armies from various inland cities to assist..."

Hearing this, Yao Delong's brows twitched slightly.

Had he come for nothing?

He glanced at Mu Baitie, who stood before him with a respectful, even somewhat stiff, demeanor.

"Oh? So, are you currently in charge of White Cloud City's affairs?"

"Precisely!" Mu Baitie nodded quickly, a bitter smile appearing on his face. "However, I am young and inexperienced. I rely entirely on the assistance and guidance of several old stewards in the manor. I just make the final decisions, but I can't handle anything too major..." He was quite honest.

Yao Delong nodded slightly. With his current Divine Thought, a sweep of White Cloud City revealed that it was in good order. There were even several Nascent Soul level auras hidden in the shadows, likely arranged by Mu Long before he left. The city was indeed well-managed.

"Mm, you've done well," Yao Delong praised indifferently.

Then, he changed the subject: "I did come here to find your father. Since he is not here..."

His gaze fell on Mu Baitie, sizing him up.

"Looking at your cultivation, you have been at the Qi Refining Peak for many years. Your Foundation is quite solid."

Hearing this, Mu Baitie's heart tightened, unsure of what the benefactor meant.

Yao Delong casually raised his right hand, extended his index finger, and flicked it lightly toward Mu Baitie!

"Swish!"

A highly condensed golden light, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance and boundless vitality, shot toward Mu Baitie like a meteor!

Mu Baitie instinctively reached out to catch it!

The golden light settled in his hand, transforming into a pill the size of a longan. It was perfectly round, as translucent as glazed glass, and its surface was encircled by nine distinct pill patterns!

The medicinal fragrance was refreshing; just one breath of it made the spiritual power within him start to stir!

"This... this is..." Mu Baitie's eyes nearly popped out of his head! His voice trembled violently from extreme shock and wild joy!

"Nine Revolutions! A Nine Revolutions Foundation Establishment Pill?!" he cried out in shock! This legendary top-tier Treasure Pill! Not to mention a mere Young Lord of White Cloud City like himself, even a prince of the Ba Xia Dynasty might not be able to obtain one easily!

How was this just an Opportunity?

This was simply a monumental stroke of luck! A Heaven-Defying gift!

Even a pig at the Qi Refining stage could achieve Foundation Establishment just by lying down after eating this pill! And its Foundation would be incredibly solid! For him, taking this pill meant there would be no more Bottlenecks for Foundation Establishment, and he could even forge a perfect dao foundation far beyond that of ordinary people!

Thump!

Overwhelmed by immense surprise and gratitude, Mu Baitie did not hesitate for a second. He dropped heavily to one knee before Yao Delong, holding the incredibly precious pill in both hands, and spoke incoherently with excitement:

"Thank... thank you, benefactor! I will never forget this life-changing favor! If the benefactor has any commands in the future, I will go through mountains of blades and seas of fire, and I will not hesitate even in the face of death!" His voice was choked with emotion. This favor was too heavy!

"Rise." Yao Delong simply flicked his sleeve, and a gentle yet irresistible force lifted Mu Baitie up.

"Take care of yourself."

He left behind those light words.

Before Mu Baitie could look up to express more gratitude or ask him to stay... Whoosh!

His vision blurred!

Yao Delong and the beautiful woman beside him had already vanished without a trace!

It was as if they had never been there!

Only the Nine Revolutions Foundation Establishment Pill in his hand, radiating astonishing medicinal power and fragrance, and the faint, lingering pressure in the air proved that the miracle of bestowing such luck with a flick of a finger was not a dream!

Yao Delong left White Cloud City with Qiong Shuang. Instead of heading straight for the Xuan Ye Dynasty, he turned and sped toward the southwest!

The Great Desolate Forest stretched for hundreds of thousands of miles. It was dangerously unpredictable and connected to the depths of the Demon Transformation Mountain Range!

Now that the Yao Race was attacking the Ba Xia Dynasty's border so frequently that troops had to be mobilized from the interior to reinforce Biqiu City, this was definitely unusual!

"I'm afraid... something big is about to happen." Yao Delong's eyes narrowed slightly. He thought to himself:

First, after finishing his business in the Xuan Ye Dynasty and returning, he could go find the Sky-Splitting Demon King! That red-haired Teddy was well-informed and should know some inside information.

Second, the nine aperture spirit nurturing pill obtained from the Pill Venerable Secret Realm was a top-tier pill for nourishing and strengthening the Primordial Spirit! Many of the main and auxiliary ingredients needed for this pill were produced in the depths of the Demon Domain or in spiritual mountains and great marshes, so he could take this Opportunity to search around the Demon Domain.

Third, Biqiu City... there was an old acquaintance there. The bond from fighting side by side was still there, and since it was on the way, he could see if he could offer some help.

White Cloud City was tens of thousands of miles away from Biqiu City!

Once outside the range of White Cloud City, Yao Delong had a thought.

Buzz!

A wave of profound spatial fluctuations suddenly rippled out from behind him!

Then, a pair of magnificent wings with a span of several yards, shimmering with illusory silver light as if condensed from countless spatial fragments, silently spread out! Every feather sparkled with deep starlight, and every slight flap caused the surrounding space to twist and fold!

The taiyu flowing light wings! A tool of creation and a supreme treasure for speed!

The corners of Yao Delong's mouth curled up. He extended his long arm and naturally pulled the soft, slender, willow-like waist of Qiong Shuang beside him into his embrace.

"Ah!" Qiong Shuang was caught off guard, and her delicate body suddenly stiffened! A strange electric current instantly surged through her entire body! Her pretty face turned crimson in a flash, like a ripe apple! This was the first time her Big Brother had held her so intimately!

"Hold on tight." Yao Delong's voice carried a hint of solemnity, interrupting Qiong Shuang's wandering thoughts. "I'm going to... speed up!"

Qiong Shuang instantly snapped back to her senses. Feeling the boundless power suddenly rising from her Big Brother, she didn't dare to delay. She quickly reached out her two fair arms and, like an octopus, tightly embraced Yao Delong's sturdy waist, pressing her entire body against him!

"Go!"

Yao Delong shouted in a low voice!

Boom—!!!

The taiyu flowing light wings flapped violently!

There was no sound of breaking through the air! No sonic boom!

The surrounding space was silently torn like a thin sheet of paper!

Their figures, along with the magnificent silver wings, instantly transformed into an extremely condensed silver line, as if they had crossed the barriers of space and time!
