70: Hall of Merit!

Su Yang was not at all surprised by Lin Bingqing's attitude.

A woman being almost forcibly required to Dual Cultivate with a man—no one would be willing.

Just like Junior Sister Yun Yao at the beginning, she even thought about killing him every day.

But what about later?

After experiencing the pleasures within, her attitude changed.

So Su Yang was not in a hurry to force Lin Bingqing to Cultivate with him immediately.

With Gu Yue and Junior Sister Yun Yao by his side now, his needs in this regard were not urgent.

Su Yang said to Lin Bingqing, "It's normal for you to be unwilling. I won't force you until you are willing. Just Cultivate here in peace."

Lin Bingqing hadn't expected Su Yang to say that.

She had thought Su Yang would rely on his identity as Lingxiao Sword Ancestor, backed by the Three Grand Elders, to force her to Dual Cultivate with him.

Wen Yunyao pouted and said, "How come she gets to be willing?"

Even Gu Yue chimed in, "That's right, my master, you weren't like this with me before."

Su Yang tapped both their heads, "Those two times were urgent situations, a last resort. Now it's not a life-threatening situation, why would I force her?"

Wen Yunyao rubbed her head, realizing he had a point.

Wait... Wen Yunyao suddenly reacted, looking at Gu Yue on Su Yang's shoulder with a strange expression.

"What did you mean by that just now? What do you mean he wasn't like that with you? Did Su Yang do something to you?"

Gu Yue giggled, "Little sister, haven't you noticed my master's strength change? He's now in the Early Golden Core Stage. Do you think he could have successfully made a Breakthrough without a woman accompanying him in Cultivation?"

"Golden Core... Early Golden Core Stage???"

Wen Yunyao was completely stunned.

She looked at Su Yang with an expression of disbelief.

Only then did she notice that his strength had indeed reached the Early Golden Core Stage.

It had only been a few days, and he had made another Breakthrough!

No, no, his Cultivation speed was already very fast, but the key was, who accompanied him in Cultivation?

Wen Yunyao looked at Gu Yue suspiciously.

Gu Yue smiled charmingly, transformed, and leaned against Su Yang as an exceptionally beautiful woman.

"Hello, little sister."

"From now on, we are all Su Yang's Cultivation partners. Don't be jealous."

Gu Yue smiled and stroked Wen Yunyao's cheek, teasing her.

Wen Yunyao's mind couldn't process it.

Didn't the transformed Fox Race only transform into Human form after Cultivating to the Peak of Nine-Tails? Had she remembered wrong!?

And... she was really beautiful... was this the so-called Fox Spirit!?

So Su Yang had been Cultivating with her every day these past few days!?

All sorts of emotions flashed through her mind.

Wen Yunyao's expression was very complicated; for a moment, she didn't know how to speak.

"I know you have many questions. Let Gu Yue explain to you slowly. It's good for you both to get to know each other."

Su Yang said, "I need to go to the Merit Pavilion to exchange for some items. You three can chat here."

Su Yang didn't waste words; he flew off as he spoke.

"These past few days... have you been accompanying him in Cultivation?"

Wen Yunyao pouted as she asked Gu Yue.

"Are you jealous?"

Gu Yue was clearly very interested in the Human Race girl's jealousy, and teased, "From now on, the three of us will be his Cultivation partners. The three old guys in the Fenggong Pavilion will also send more beauties to Cultivate with him later. If you get jealous of everyone, you'll be sour to death~~~"

"I know..."

Wen Yunyao also knew she shouldn't be jealous.

And she had long prepared herself for Su Yang to have many women.

But facing this day, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

"How can you transform into a Human?"

Wen Yunyao changed the topic, trying not to think about things she couldn't change.

Gu Yue didn't hide it from her.

She told her that she had once reached the Peak of Nine-Tails.

After all, they would be Cultivating together in the future, and understanding more was not a bad thing.

Lin Bingqing, on the side, did not participate in their conversation from beginning to end.

She sat cross-legged in the pavilion.

Looking at the mountains shrouded in Spiritual Qi, her heart was filled with complex emotions.

There was surprise at Su Yang entering the Early Golden Core Stage so quickly.

There was shock that Gu Yue, a top-tier expert who had once reached the Peak of Nine-Tails, was actually willing to accompany Su Yang in Cultivation.

And there was confusion about her own future destiny.

She had thought about escaping.

But her arrangement to accompany Su Yang in Cultivation was personally decided by the Three Grand Elders of the Fenggong Pavilion. Even she and Wen Yunyao were personally sent by Grand Elder Xuan Qing, showing the importance the Fenggong Pavilion placed on this matter.

Not to mention whether she could escape the Sect.

Even if she could escape the Sect, her parents could not escape the Sect and would be punished for her escape.

"I wonder if Su Yang is willing to let me go..."

Perhaps she could find an opportunity to beg him.

As long as he was willing to let her go voluntarily, perhaps the Fenggong Pavilion would not trouble her, her parents, and her beloved.

Senior Brother Xiang should already know my predicament. I wonder if he will fight against the Fenggong Pavilion Grand Elders for me... I wonder if he is trying to save me now...?

...Su Yang arrived at Profound Heaven Dao Sect.

That day, after returning triumphantly from the Burial Immortal Valley, everyone in the entire Sect knew Su Yang.

Upon seeing Su Yang again, greetings rose one after another.

"Greetings, Lingxiao Sword Ancestor!"

"Lingxiao Sword Ancestor!"

"Lingxiao Sword Ancestor, greetings!"

So many people greeted him that Su Yang initially nodded politely in response, but later he simply ignored them.

With so many people, he would break his neck nodding.

He went straight to the Merit Pavilion.

This Merit Pavilion was where missions were taken in the Sect.

According to the rules of Profound Heaven Dao Sect, Disciples in the Qi Refinement Stage were too weak, and for the sake of their safety, they were not allowed to take missions in the Merit Pavilion. Only those in the Foundation Establishment Stage and above were qualified to take missions.

The difficulty of missions was directly linked to one's Cultivation level. Completing missions would record Merit Points.

In addition to taking missions to acquire resources, the Merit Pavilion had another special function.

That was to exchange resources.

Exchange resources that the Sect wanted for resources one desired.

This had no strength requirements or limitations.

Even an entry-level Disciple in the Qi Refinement Stage, as long as they had resources the Sect needed, could exchange for any resource the Sect possessed and they desired.

For those scions of aristocratic families, this was a quick way to improve their strength.

This was also an important reason why most scions in the Sect were stronger than other Disciples of the same period.

Su Yang was alone after his Transmigration, couldn't take missions, and had nothing to exchange. So, in the eight years he had been in Profound Heaven Dao Sect, this was his first time coming to the Merit Pavilion.

"Senior Brother Su??"

"It really is Senior Brother Su... No, it's Lingxiao Sword Ancestor!"

"Disciple Jiang Muchen, greetings to Lingxiao Sword Ancestor!"

Su Yang was about to enter the mission hall when Jiang Muchen recognized him from afar.

He excitedly ran over to salute Su Yang.

"No need to be so polite."

"Are you here to take a mission, or to exchange something?"

Su Yang asked casually, purely as a greeting.

Jiang Muchen respectfully replied, "I used to exchange things here. Today, I just wanted to come and take a mission to train myself, and I didn't expect to see Lingxiao Sword Ancestor."

"You don't know, you are now a legend among our Disciples of the same period!"

"Everyone, when they mention the name Su Yang, takes pride in being fellow Senior Brothers with you."

"Before, I was blind and always offended you, ahem... Please forgive my past transgressions..."

Jiang Muchen rubbed his head.

"It's a small matter."

"You've already apologized, no need to keep apologizing."

Su Yang said.

"Lingxiao Sword Ancestor is magnanimous!"

Jiang Muchen was happy in his heart, and then asked, "Lingxiao Sword Ancestor, are you here to take a mission or exchange something? If you're taking a mission, I wonder if I have the honor to team up with you..."

"I'm here to exchange something."

"Oh, I see..."

Jiang Muchen was slightly disappointed, but immediately said, "This is where you take missions. The place for exchanging materials is somewhere else. I'm familiar with that place, I'll take you there."

Su Yang nodded, not refusing.

As the two were about to leave, an imposing middle-aged man led a young man towards Su Yang.

Upon seeing this person, Jiang Muchen immediately bowed respectfully, "Disciple Jiang Muchen, greetings to Pavilion Master, greetings to Young Pavilion Master."

The Pavilion Master and Young Pavilion Master didn't spare Jiang Muchen a glance, walking directly in front of Su Yang and saluting very respectfully:

"Xiang Tianwen, Pavilion Master of the Merit Pavilion, greets Lingxiao Sword Ancestor!"

"Xiang Shaobo of the Merit Pavilion, greets Lingxiao Sword Ancestor!"
