182: Late Lingdi!

“Near the back forest of the courtyard, there’s a secluded cultivation area. The Formations nearby also have miraculous effects that can aid in Breakthroughs, helping you, Master, achieve your goal!”

The butler bowed his head, his soft words entirely for Yang Yucheng’s consideration!

Hearing this, Yang Yucheng was slightly taken aback.

Immediately after.

His eyes, full of smiles, fell upon the butler.

“You are excellent. What is your name?”

“Master! This humble one is Wang Sheng!”

The butler replied instantly, “It’s just an ordinary name, unlike Master’s name, which has profound meaning and a great future!”

“Hahahahaha!”

Yang Yucheng laughed heartily.

In the past, he would not have been so easily swayed, but today, filled with joy, he showed a bit of his true nature.

There was no harm in it!

“You are quite good at flattery!”

Amidst the faint laughter, Yang Yucheng walked towards the backyard.

He wasn't afraid that the butler would harm him.

Firstly!

There was no past grievance or recent enmity between them!

Secondly, the moment Yang Yucheng moved into this detached courtyard, this butler became his person. Tomorrow, the people from the City Lord’s Mansion would likely send over his.

The indentured servant contracts for everyone in the courtyard.

This indentured servant contract was not the same as those between Mortals, which were merely rules set by a Dynasty’s law, but rather deeply rooted in these people’s Souls.

They simply could not resist!

In other words.

The butler, Wang, in front of him, appeared to be in the Spirit Emperor Realm, a higher cultivation than Yang Yucheng, but in reality, the other party was merely a slave, not a free person.

And Yang Yucheng, on the other hand, would not.

Due to the other party’s thoughtfulness, make a grand promise and grant the other party freedom.

Such a good deed should be left to those Saints, right?

Since the other party was so useful, Yang Yucheng naturally wanted to keep him by his side. If he was easy to use, why not?

Just like in his previous life.

The stronger your ability, the more work you do, and the less likely you are to get promoted, get a raise, and leave.

If you leave, who will bear the burdens that were originally on you?

Who will do those tasks?

So, you can only suffer a little longer!

Although Yang Yucheng would not do such a shameless thing, if this butler was sensible and good, he would keep him by his side, and perhaps even try to cultivate him.

If not, he could at least handle some of the mundane affairs around him.

Now that he had left Fengyun and come to this unfamiliar place, he needed to cultivate one or two reliable people by his side, otherwise, he would have to handle everything himself.

It seemed truly troublesome… Upon arriving at the secluded cultivation area, it was underground, not the resplendent pavilion above ground, which further highlighted its safety!

At the entrance of the cave.

The butler, Wang Sheng, stopped here and simply instructed Yang Yucheng.

“Master, just keep walking straight!”

“This is the token for the secluded cultivation area. You can open and close it as you wish, Master!”

“Good!”

Yang Yucheng laughed loudly.

This underground place!

The secluded cultivation area was not very large; its area was probably just a small string of pavilions.

And here, the Formations were activated.

Spirit Gathering Formations, along with some protective Formations and offensive-defensive Formations, were all nearby.

The power revealed within them instantly reached the Spirit Venerable level, making Yang Yucheng feel a surge of excitement upon seeing it.

“After all, this power could already threaten him!”

“Not bad!”

Yang Yucheng’s eyes lit up, and he sat on the meditation cushion here.

Then, with a clear mind and focused attention, he began his Breakthrough.

He continued to refine the Spiritual Qi that had originally settled within his body; warm currents rose, and the abundant Spiritual Qi continuously flowed through his body.

At this moment, Yang Yucheng’s efforts from an entire afternoon were finally released.

Spiritual Qi surged like ocean waves, constantly cleansing layer after layer of impurities within his body. Yang Yucheng showed no sign of pain.

The Spiritual Qi was very gentle.

It was as if the Formation of the Heavenly Phoenix Spirit Body before, so natural and effortless.

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Yucheng hadn't noticed anything yet.

The density of Spiritual Qi reached a peak, and a quantitative change transformed into a qualitative change.

A muffled sound gently vibrated in an unknown part of Yang Yucheng’s body.

A large amount of Spiritual Qi swept through again.

The capacity for Spiritual Qi within Yang Yucheng’s body once again increased, transforming from a small sea to a vast ocean.

Spirit Emperor Realm, Late Stage.

Achieved!

“This spirit meal seems to be even better than I imagined.”

Yang Yucheng successfully completed his Breakthrough.

He opened his eyes, a hint of doubt appearing on his face, but it quickly vanished.

Ordinary Spirit Stones.

No matter how pure they were, they always contained a bit of Heaven and Earth power!

They were inherently formed by Heaven and Earth, so it was understandable for them to bring some sharpness when entering a cultivator’s body, but this spirit meal was different.

The power of flesh and blood might still be a bit wild.

But the spirit meal transformed even the most volatile Spiritual Qi into gentleness; entering the body, it was as if it followed the cycle of the five grains, naturally aligning with the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, the digested Spiritual Qi flowed exceptionally smoothly!

Yang Yucheng had eaten some before when he was in Fengyun.

But those methods were ultimately a bit crude, not as refined as the spirit chef here.

It truly brought him some surprise!

Yang Yucheng’s thoughts paused.

He raised an eyebrow, thinking of Tang Ao and the others.

Especially thinking of Chen Yao, a faint playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth!

This woman.

Yang Yucheng would certainly not be mistaken.

Although the other party had not made any excessive gestures since they met, one’s character could be discerned from their eyes.

“Truly a Great Master of tea art! I wonder who drank this tea?”

“Also, will that so-called suitor even get to drink it? He probably won’t even touch the teacup, right?”

“Hahahahaha!”

Yang Yucheng was in a pleasant mood, and his thoughts were no longer focused on arduous cultivation and continuous strengthening as they used to be, but rather on the trivialities of daily life.

Many interesting little things… “You were originally a beauty, but why did you become a thief!”

“A femme fatale, the ancients truly did not deceive me!”

On the verdant island, the detached courtyards were basically all located here.

However, with four people each occupying a cardinal direction (east, west, north, south), there would be no conflicts, and even the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was evenly divided into four portions.

It seemed fair!

This day was their official first day in Ascension Immortal City.

Yang Yucheng had achieved Late Stage Spirit Emperor.

Although he had eaten a lot again last night, he hadn't finished it all; he simply had the will but lacked the strength.

He had a treasure mountain but couldn't carry much away!

Yang Yucheng felt a bit helpless, and his lips were curved in a bitter smile this early morning!

Around him, the Spiritual Qi was dense, making him look like a match for Tang Sanzang’s flesh!
