179: Came to the door!

The puppet remained still; Lu Hao's command was to protect Shi Yi's safety, and if no one attacked her, it would not meddle.

Shi Yi hurried out of the city, then summoned her Breaking Void Ship and quickly rushed back to the village.

Of course, along the way, a few short-sighted individuals appeared again to block her path and rob Shi Yi.

There was no help for it; who told Shi Yi to have a Core Formation Realm cultivation and buy so many medicinal ingredients? This was a colossal fortune!

You use this to test a Fellow Daoist? Which Fellow Daoist can withstand such a test?

Naturally, the outcome was the same as before; ultimately, a few more wandering souls were added to Xiao Lu's lantern.

Shi Yi rushed back to the village, growing angrier the more she thought about it on the way; wasn't this clearly bullying?

As soon as she arrived at the village, she found Lu Hao.

Lu Hao was sitting in a chair drinking tea. Seeing Shi Yi, he said with some surprise,

“Shi Yi? Why are you back so early? Are your Medicinal Pills all sold? Why do I remember the three major auctions are once a month, and it hasn't even been two weeks yet.”

Upon seeing Lu Hao, Shi Yi immediately couldn't hold back and almost burst into tears:

“Master, I...”

Lu Hao took a sip of tea and slowly said,

“It's alright, speak slowly.”

So Shi Yi recounted the entire story to Lu Hao in detail.

Lu Hao sat in the chair, calmly drinking tea, listening quietly to Shi Yi's narration, his gaze unchanged from beginning to end.

After a while, Shi Yi finally finished speaking.

Lu Hao slowly stood up from the chair, patted Shi Yi's shoulder, and said,

“You did well. This is the effect I wanted! Since that's the case, there's no need to sell the remaining Medicinal Pills; keep them for yourself.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi was overjoyed. Her Master was giving her the Medicinal Pills? He still had four Medicinal Pills here!

According to the market, selling them casually would amount to one hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones!

“Thank you, Master!”

“Shi Yi, do you have a School?”

“Replying to Master, Shi Yi has not yet joined a School.”

“Good, then are you willing to join my Qingxuan Sect?”

“Willing, willing, but what kind of force is this Qingxuan Sect?”

Lu Hao laughed heartily and said loudly,

“The Qingxuan Sect is my School, and the Qingxuan Medicine Sect is a new Sect I plan to establish later. From now on, you will be the Second Senior Sister of the Qingxuan Medicine Sect, and the First Senior Sister will be Xiao Tong.”

Lu Hao intended to establish a Sect here, and it would be a branch of the Qingxuan Sect!

Since he had already activated the Sect Cultivation System, then if he established another Qingxuan Sect branch in Danling State, it should logically also be able to return cultivation.

After all, wasn't Lu Hao's action also for cultivating the Sect? Recruiting a group of Alchemy Geniuses would be very beneficial for the Sect's development.

Shi Yi quickly said again,

“Thank you, Master!”

This news from Lu Hao excited her even more than him giving her four Medicinal Pills!

“Don't call me Master anymore, call me Master. From today onwards, you will be a Named Disciple under my tutelage.”

“Alright! Shi Yi greets Master!”

Lu Hao currently had three Personal Disciples: his First Disciple Mu Siyuan, his Second Disciple Dugu Litian, and his Third Disciple Yin Xiaotong.

All three had been bound to the System by Lu Hao.

As for the Disciples of the Qingxuan Medicine Sect he was about to establish, Lu Hao simply decided to take them all as Named Disciples.

He was the First Senior Brother of the Qingxuan Sect, so his Named Disciples should naturally also be considered Disciples of the Qingxuan Sect.

Then the cultivation cultivated by his Named Disciples would certainly also be returned to him at one hundred percent through the System.

Although one hundred percent was little, every little bit helps, accumulating over time.

If he only relied on a few bound Disciples and his Master, his own cultivation would surely be very difficult to improve.

He had already struggled greatly just to reach Dacheng Perfection, let alone the subsequent Realms.

“Shi Yi, let's go.”

“Master, where are we going?”

“To find that Old Man Zuo and demand an explanation!”

...

Lu Hao personally activated the Breaking Void Ship, directly pushing its speed to the limit.

Half a day later, Shi Yi returned to Xingfeng Capital, and after landing outside the city, Lu Hao slowly walked towards Yunjian Collection under Shi Yi's guidance.

“Fellow Daoists, what would you like to buy?”

As Lu Hao walked into Yunjian Collection, a nearby receptionist quickly said.

“I'm looking for Zuo Shaoyuan. Where is he?”

Upon hearing this, the person was instantly scared, cold sweat dripping. Anyone who dared to call their Great Grandmaster Zuo Shaoyuan by his full name was either crazy or truly powerful.

No matter which it was, he could not afford to offend them.

So the receptionist quickly said,

“Fellow Daoist, please wait in the reception room. I will go inform the higher-ups now.”

“No need, I think I've already found him.”

As soon as Lu Hao finished speaking, he disappeared from the entrance with Shi Yi in an instant, reappearing inside the secret chamber of Yunjian Collection.

The Pill Spirit Sect had four Grandmasters of Alchemy, who took turns managing Yunjian Collection, rotating every ten years.

This decade was Zuo Shaoyuan's turn.

At this moment, he was cultivating in the secret chamber. Although he ultimately failed to bid for the Medicinal Pills, he had at least carefully observed them for three days.

Now he was pondering the marvels of the five-star Medicinal Pills.

Suddenly, his body trembled violently! A sudden, inexplicable sense of suffocation appeared in his heart.

He instinctively opened his eyes instantly and looked forward.

A white-robed young man and the female Cultivator he had expelled from Yunjian Collection a few days ago entered his vision.

The white-robed youth was staring at him with a cold gaze, and Shi Yi's gaze carried a hint of resentment.

Zuo Shaoyuan was horrified! What?! How is this possible?! How could they pass through my Formation?!

My Formation clearly wasn't broken, so how did they get in? This makes no sense!!

Zuo Shaoyuan's mind raced, but no matter what, he couldn't figure out how the person in front of him had appeared.

In his panic, Zuo Shaoyuan slightly sensed the cultivation of the newcomers. Hmm? Dacheng Perfection? A mere Core Formation Realm??

This discovery made him breathe a sigh of relief. Then he forcefully pushed off with his feet, and his entire body stood up from its cross-legged position.

As he stood up, Zuo Shaoyuan said,

“Fellow Daoists, isn't it a bit inappropriate to suddenly come into this old man's secret chamber?”

“Inappropriate? Then it's very appropriate for you to privately withhold the medicinal ingredients that should have been taken by my Disciple, is it??”

“Hmm? Could it be that you, a mere Great...”

Lu Hao didn't let Zuo Shaoyuan finish his sentence. He raised his right hand and grabbed out of thin air!

Immediately, Zuo Shaoyuan felt his body as if it were out of control, slowly moving towards the white-robed youth under a powerful force that he couldn't resist.

What?!! Zuo Shaoyuan's heart was filled with extreme horror!
