53: Chapter 53: The Spirit Beast Mountain to Send My Wife!
"Junior Brother, this Immortal Ascension Assembly has nothing to do with you. Even if you wanted to participate in the competition, you wouldn't be qualified for the foundation establishment pill. Even if I pleaded with Sect Head Senior Brother about this matter, it wouldn't work. Forget Sect Head Senior Brother, even Revered Master couldn't do anything, as this concerns the entire Yue Country Cultivation World."
Apart from this reason, Zhao Changsheng couldn't think of any other explanation.
"Senior Brother, there's a misunderstanding. It's not for the foundation establishment pill. It was Senior Brother Wu Feng who suggested I go to the Immortal Ascension Assembly to take a look. He said there are genuine Spell duels there, life-and-death struggles. It would give me a clearer understanding of a Spell's power. Moreover, it's quite beneficial for cultivating and casting Spells. Every time the Immortal Ascension Assembly begins, many Qi Refinement Stage Disciples from our School go to spectate through various connections."
Before Zhao Changsheng could finish speaking, Han Li hurriedly explained the reason.
So it was to spectate, to watch others duel and cast Spells.
After hearing Han Li's reason, Zhao Changsheng was stunned for a moment, and an expression of surprise involuntarily appeared on his face.
"I see. Alright then, I'll have Sect Head Senior Brother arrange for you to go with the Senior Brother in charge of the Immortal Ascension Assembly. What Wu Feng said is indeed correct. Watching others duel is quite beneficial for one's own Spell cultivation."
Zhao Changsheng thought for a moment and agreed. After all, it was just a matter of a word from him, merely adding one more person, which was nothing significant to him.
Hearing that Zhao Changsheng was willing to help, Han Li was overjoyed, and an expression of gratitude also appeared on his face.
"Thank you, Senior Brother, thank you, Senior Brother."
Han Li understood this matter clearly. Within the entire School, besides Zhao Changsheng, the only one who could help was Old Man Ma from the Hundred Herbs Garden. But if Old Man Ma helped, there would definitely be a price.
He might have to work for free for several months, or even a year or two.
That was something Han Li could not endure.
"It's fine, it's just a small matter, a single word. Go and prepare. Ask Senior Brother Ma for leave. In a couple of days, you should be able to follow the School's team to the Immortal Ascension Assembly."
Zhao Changsheng nodded indifferently and added another reminder.
"I understand, Senior Brother. I'll go back and prepare right away."
Naturally, Han Li didn't argue either. He agreed directly, then bid farewell to Zhao Changsheng and left.
Before leaving, he handed over the medicinal herbs he had cultivated during this period to Zhao Changsheng.
After Han Li left, Zhao Changsheng opened the Storage Pouch Han Li had given him and took out two Spirit Medicines, each several hundred years old.
These two Spirit Medicines were of a yin-cold nature, making them quite suitable for Xin Ruyin to take. They could soothe and suppress Xin Ruyin's Dragons Roar Physique, allowing her to rest normally for a period. However, they needed to be prepared into Medicinal Pills first.
This was no longer a difficult task for Zhao Changsheng, so he began refining the first batch of pills.
Half a day later, under Xin Ruyin's gaze, expression, and words full of gratitude, Zhao Changsheng handed the pills to her.
"Alright, alright, no need to thank me. I promised your Revered Master this time. Since your Revered Master agreed to help me repair the Formation, I will definitely help solve your Physique problem. However, these pills can only maintain the situation for a while. You'll need to continue taking them later. But they will allow you to Cultivate normally for a period without any problems, you can rest assured about that."
Zhao Changsheng's words immediately caused Xin Ruyin's initially delighted expression to fall considerably. She could only nod silently and said nothing more.
Regarding this, Zhao Changsheng was also somewhat helpless. After all, he had no good solution for this Dragons Roar Physique. He wasn't a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.
If he were a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, he wouldn't mind helping, given Xin Ruyin's talent in Formations. But now, it wasn't possible.
He didn't have that capability, nor could he ask the Grand Elder of the School, that Old Monster Linghu who had lived for who knows how many years.
He still harbored some apprehension towards that Old Monster Linghu, which was why he had never requested an audience all these years.
After resolving the matter of Xin Ruyin's pills, Zhao Changsheng had to go to the Council Hall once more.
The Sect Head was very pleased with Zhao Changsheng's visit, thinking he had changed his mind.
However, after hearing what Zhao Changsheng had to say, the Sect Head's expression changed slightly.
"What? Is there something difficult about this matter, Senior Brother?"
Seeing the change in the Sect Head's expression, Zhao Changsheng pressed with a puzzled look.
After all, this was indeed quite curious. Logically, it should just be a matter of a word.
"It's not really a difficult matter. It's just... Brother Wen still hopes Junior Brother will also go, to help Spirit Beast Mountain resolve the matter of their Spirit Beast. Spirit Beast Mountain has promised that if Junior Brother is willing to help, they are willing to gift a Fourth-level Wooden Specter Tiger Beast to Junior Brother as a token of thanks after the matter is settled."
The Sect Head revealed something that surprised Zhao Changsheng, because the reward was simply too generous, so generous that Zhao Changsheng found it hard to believe.
"Isn't Spirit Beast Mountain being too generous? Extraordinary occurrences must have sinister causes. Senior Brother, there's definitely something strange about Spirit Beast Mountain. In any case, I absolutely will not help with this. What if they set their sights on me because of it and secretly plot against me? That would be terrible."
Although somewhat tempted, Zhao Changsheng shook his head without hesitation and refused outright, not agreeing at all.
Just as he said, extraordinary occurrences must have sinister causes. He still felt that Spirit Beast Mountain harbored ill intentions.
Even if it were true, he wouldn't help, because helping would be aiding the enemy.
Zhao Changsheng wouldn't be foolish enough to help with such a thing, no matter how rich the reward.
"What if they also let you choose a suitable Dao Companion or concubine from their School? What do you think?"
Seeing that Zhao Changsheng still showed no intention of agreeing, the Sect Head proposed another generous condition.
"Sect Head Senior Brother, that condition is indeed quite good."
Hearing this generous condition, Zhao Changsheng was once again shocked, because the condition was truly lavish.
But precisely because of this, he grew even more suspicious of Spirit Beast Mountain. His unease intensified, and he felt increasingly certain that Spirit Beast Mountain definitely harbored ill intentions.
Compared to his own life, he would absolutely not agree.
Besides, if he wanted a Dao Companion, he only needed to open his mouth. There would definitely be many female Disciples throwing themselves at him. Zhao Changsheng could guarantee that.
After all, no woman would refuse a husband who is a Heavenly Spiritual Root Cultivator, especially one as young and promising as him, with cultivation speed considered fast even among Heavenly Spiritual Root Cultivators.
