81: Chapter 81: Zhou Yuan's Concubine, Ready to Be Delivered to Her Door!

"I'm not clear on his Divine Ability either, but one thing is certain: his Divine Thought is incredibly powerful. Although he is also in the Early Stage of Core Formation, and has even only recently attained Core Formation, his Divine Thought alone is comparable to a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator. Such terrifying Divine Thought is enough to prove that his strength is definitely extraordinary. In fact, that Divine Thought alone would be enough to defeat me, let alone his other Divine Ability and methods."

"If there's no mistake, the Cultivation Technique he practices should be related to Divine Thought. Although this Cultivation Technique isn't as powerful as those of great Sword Cultivators or beast-controlling techniques, it's still considered quite a good one. Didn't you want to practice a Divine Thought-related Cultivation Technique recently? After you meet the Grand Elder, you might as well ask him for advice. Perhaps he will teach you something or give you some pointers. If he takes you in, that would be for the best."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhuo Ruting's cheeks immediately turned crimson. She lowered her head, looking incredibly shy, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz: "With my meager looks, how could I catch the Grand Elder's eye? Revered Master must be joking."

"Alright, I will mention it to him when the time comes. As for whether he will take you in, that will depend on your own ability. If it's possible, even if you are just a concubine, you needn't mind too much. After all, this Grand Elder is not yet a hundred years old, and his future potential is limitless; he definitely has the chance to advance to a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator."

"In that case, with a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator to help you, you might even be able to successfully achieve Forming the Golden Core in the future and become a Core Formation Stage Cultivator. At that time, I will be able to hand over the management of the Wonderful Sound Sect to you." Zhou Yuan began to paint a grand picture for her Disciple again.

Regarding the grand promise Zhou Yuan had painted, Zhuo Ruting's cheeks immediately turned from shy red to anticipation and excitement, her face glowing: "Please rest assured, Revered Master. I will definitely manage the School properly and will not disappoint you."

Facing Zhuo Ruting's promise, the smile on Zhou Yuan's face grew more intense and satisfied: "Good, that would be for the best."

Then, Zhou Yuan began to teach Zhuo Ruting some of the Wonderful Sound Sect's Secret Arts. These Secret Arts, without exception, were top-tier techniques focused on how to attract a man's attention and make him unable to stop himself.

Although Zhuo Ruting's heart raced and her face burned as she listened, she still studied very seriously, fearing she might miss even the slightest detail.

Meanwhile, Zhao Changsheng had no idea that Zhou Yuan intended to give her Disciple to him as a concubine. Zhao Changsheng never refused such things; at the same time, he knew that doing so would deepen the relationship between the two parties.

If the other party really took the initiative to come to him, he naturally wouldn't refuse. If it weren't for his reluctance to take someone else's leftovers, Zhao Changsheng wouldn't actually mind taking Zhou Yuan in as well.

At this moment, Zhao Changsheng was at the Trade Fair organized by the Six Link Hall. The location of the Trade Fair was the previous emerald-green pavilion that looked like jade.

Those who could receive an invitation to come here were at least Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Therefore, although only a few dozen Cultivators came, they represented nearly a third of the top power of the entire Kuixing Island.

Furthermore, among the Core Formation Stage Cultivators who came, including Zhao Changsheng, there were seven or eight of them. This surprised Zhao Changsheng a bit; he hadn't expected seven or eight Core Formation Stage Cultivators to gather all at once. One of them was even a Late Core Formation Stage Cultivator, who was also the one responsible for overseeing the Trade Fair. This was enough to prove how deep the Six Link Hall's foundation was.

However, what made Zhao Changsheng slightly disappointed was that so far, he hadn't encountered anything he liked.

Just as Zhao Changsheng thought he might not find anything that moved him at this Trade Fair, the middle-aged Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator in charge of the auction suddenly brought out a box with several Talismans pasted on it.

This box was crafted from Thousand-Year Cold Jade. One could imagine that the contents inside must be extremely precious.

This immediately attracted everyone's attention. The eyes of the Cultivators present were fixed on the unopened box, full of anticipation for what kind of good thing was inside.

"Fellow Daoists, Seniors, inside this box is a rare item that only appears once in a hundred years..."

"Stop being so mysterious and playing tricks. Hurry up and open the box so we can see what's inside! If it's truly a good item, we naturally won't miss it; but if it's just an ordinary item used to deceive us, then this old man will never attend your Six Link Hall's invitations again," a Middle Core Formation Stage Cultivator urged impatiently.

"Senior Li is absolutely right. I wonder if you Fellow Daoists and Seniors have heard of—the golden cloud pill!"

When the last three words were spoken, half of the Core Formation Cultivators present stood up immediately. Even though their appearances were concealed, their irrepressible excitement was still visible.

"golden cloud pill? Are you talking about the golden cloud pill!" The impatient Middle Core Formation Stage Cultivator from before couldn't help but urge and ask again, fearing he had misheard.

"That's right, it is indeed the golden cloud pill. This is a top-tier ancient Spirit Pill that can allow a Core Formation Cultivator to directly increase their Realm by one level. Unfortunately, the Golden Cloud Beasts required to refine this pill went extinct thousands of years ago. Otherwise, our Six Link Hall wouldn't mind refining a batch, as we do have the Pill Formula," the auctioning man nodded and said with a glowing face yet a hint of regret.

Zhao Changsheng instantly understood what kind of Medicinal Pill this golden cloud pill was. No wonder the Core Formation Cultivators present were so excited.

This kind of Medicinal Pill that could directly increase one's Realm by a level was an extremely rare existence in the entire Cultivation World. However, he was quite curious in his heart: why would the Six Link Hall put such a Medicinal Pill up for auction?

Wouldn't it be better to keep it for themselves? After all, the Six Link Hall didn't even lack Nascent Soul Cultivators, so how could they be short of Core Formation Cultivators?

"Something's not right. If it's truly a golden cloud pill, why would your Six Link Hall be willing to auction it off? Wouldn't it be better to just give it to the Elders of your Six Link Hall to consume and help them increase their Realm by a level?"

A Core Formation Cultivator who had regained his composure asked the doubt in his heart.

His words also caused the other originally excited Core Formation Cultivators to instantly calm down and sit back in their seats.

"Naturally, it's because this golden cloud pill does not belong to our Six Link Hall. It was entrusted to us by a Senior to exchange for a certain item. Because our Six Link Hall couldn't gather that item in a short time, and that Senior was in a hurry to get it, we had no choice but to bring this golden cloud pill out for trade."

"Then speak quickly, what is it to be exchanged for? Perhaps we have it on us!" Hearing this somewhat reasonable explanation, the Core Formation Cultivator who had been most excited just now hurriedly urged.

"It's very simple: a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine! Any Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine will do. Regardless of the type, as long as it's a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine, it's fine."
