96: Handling daily routines (Part 2)

When it came to his own job, Bai Li became much more serious, his expression turning solemn: "Great King, I can no longer see your Luck, but I can feel that your current Luck is like a raging flame, appearing extremely vigorous. It is vastly different from when we first met."

Gu Yuchuan didn't need him to say this; he could feel it himself. When they first met, he was just a little monster at the Qi Refining Early Stage with a very ordinary Bloodline. But now, he was a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage with a Low-grade Spirit Beast Bloodline; his Luck was naturally different from the past.

"Good, then tell me about the Luck of the Flood Dragon Palace you've investigated recently."

He cleared his throat: "Alright, the stars indicate that our Flood Dragon Palace will encounter some small troubles in the near future, but once we get through them, there will be great development. However, as for what exactly it is, my cultivation level is truly too low, so I am unable to observe it very clearly."

Regarding this trouble, Gu Yuchuan had some guesses in his heart. It was likely that when Linlang Pavilion opened, someone who didn't want them to rise would cause trouble. If they got through it, Linlang Pavilion would successfully open and become the only place in the outskirts of the Cloud Sea Marsh where one could buy Spiritual Artifacts in large quantities. If they couldn't get through it, his identity would probably not be in mortal danger, but it would certainly affect his cultivation.

"Good, I understand. I will reward you with another two hundred Spirit Stones and a bottle of yellow bud pill. Since you have few daily tasks, put more effort into your cultivation. You must reach the Foundation Establishment Stage to truly be worthy of the resources I give you."

Once his talent reaches the Foundation Establishment Stage, he would be able to vaguely see a glimpse of the future. While it is far inferior to Gu Yuchuan's Simulation, it is triggered passively and can complement the Simulation; it is certainly a very good ability.

Bai Li was very happy after receiving it; no Cultivator would not want to improve their cultivation: "Many thanks, Great King. I will definitely cultivate diligently and strive to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage."

The next one to report was Song Chuan. He was still a bit nervous; after all, he hadn't been with Gu Yuchuan for long. Shortly after he arrived, Gu Yuchuan went to the battlefield, and his ally, Pei Yu, was also not around. He truly felt a bit isolated and helpless.

"Great King, my cultivation has not advanced; I am still at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer Realm. However, I am very close to the fifth layer. Please rest assured, I will definitely advance to the fifth layer in a short time."

Gu Yuchuan sighed inwardly, though he did not show it on his face. This Song Chuan was also a Mortal Beast, so it was perfectly normal for his cultivation growth to be slow. However, he did not intend to foster his Bloodline; after all, that stuff was precious. If he wanted him to foster it, he would have to prove his worth. Bai Ming's value was irreplaceable, but Song Chuan's was not; those few Spirit Fish could all replace him.

"Alright, it doesn't matter. I know. Your Bloodline is also that of a Mortal Beast, so it is strenuous for your cultivation to reach this point. Take this Medium Grade Magical Artifact and this bottle of yellow bud pill, and make a Breakthrough as soon as possible."

He did not even mention the matter of Bloodline Advancement, and Song Chuan dared not speak of it either, so he continued to speak.

"Great King, my responsibility is to guard the Spirit Stone Mine. Now I have discovered a problem: if the Spirit Stone Mine continues like this, it may be exhausted in just three years. Therefore, we need to protect the Spirit Stone Mine. Either we reduce extraction, or we find another Spiritual Qi Origin to integrate into it."

This was indeed a big matter; after all, no one would complain about having too many Spirit Stones. Let's see; although Spiritual Qi Origin is precious, it is not something that cannot be obtained, and there are still a few years left.

"Alright, just continue the extraction. Leave this matter to me. You have done very well. In the future, if there are any problems with any resources, you must report them quickly without any delay. Alright, next."

According to the order, the next one should have been Yu Dong, but it was Bai Ming who stood up.

"Great King, let me speak for the three of them. They just joined the Flood Dragon Palace and their strength is too low. I didn't arrange any tasks for them; everything is focused on cultivation. After all, they have good Aptitude, so it is best to raise their cultivation first."

Gu Yuchuan nodded, and Bai Ming continued: "Currently, Yu Dong and Yu Qiu are already at the Qi Refining Second Layer Realm. The newly enlightened Yu Linglong is at the Qi Refining First Layer. They are all very diligent in their daily cultivation."

The three Spirit Fish were very nervous; after all, they hadn't done anything, and they were afraid that Gu Yuchuan would be angry, but it was just the opposite.

"Good, Bai Ming, you arranged it very well. They should still focus on cultivation. The three of you, I reward each with a bottle of green bud pill. Cultivate well and strive for an early Breakthrough."

They all thanked him very piously, then Gu Yuchuan changed the subject.

"However, doing nothing—this trend cannot be started. How about this: establish a patrol team with Yu Dong as the captain. You patrol Bright Stream three times a day, with Yu Qiu following you. And Yu Linglong, you are responsible for enlightening your own species. Every day, tell them about the Dao scriptures or something to stimulate them and see if you can help them gain intelligence."

After receiving the task, they were very happy. Having tasks and starting to do things meant that they were completely integrated into this collective, and they would no longer have feelings of gain and loss.

"Everyone, I am very satisfied with your performance. You must continue to maintain it. Tomorrow at this time, Bai Ming, come find me, and we will go to meet that Crocodile Great King. If he knows what's good for him, then spare his life and just make him pay with resources. If he doesn't, then our Flood Dragon Palace can use him to establish our prestige. The rest of you, just do your own things. Go back."

After speaking, he waved his hand, and everyone retreated. As for him, he now had to go back to recite the Golden Light Incantation. This Golden Light Incantation could not be neglected; it had to be recited every day. Because of the meeting today, he hadn't recited it in the morning. He returned to his room and recited it a full twenty times.

After finishing, he did not get up; he intended to perform a Simulation. He always felt that there was a problem with the Crocodile Great King's side. After all, even if they didn't know he had advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage, at the very least, when he left, he was at the Qi Refining Great Perfection, which was not something the Crocodile Great King could compare to. Might there be someone behind the other party? If there were, going rashly might be dangerous. This was also the reason he said he would go tomorrow; today, he wanted to run a Simulation.

This Simulation did not require sitting on a prayer mat; it was a relatively relaxing activity. He climbed onto his bed, lay down in his little nest, and covered himself with the goose-down blanket, which was very comfortable. Now, he could truly begin the Simulation.
