Chapter 65: Wang Yi's News

XXX-----XXX-----XXX-----XXX

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and in this half month, Wang Hong had made all the arrangements for Azure Void City.

Zhao Ning managed the Elixir shop, and the two aspiring alchemists, the Ma Brothers, were also placed under Zhao Ning's command.

Skinny Monkey took charge of the Spirit Wine Pavilion, overseeing its daily operations. Additionally, the courtyard they had previously rented was transformed into a brewery.

Recruiting both cultivators and Mortals, they produced a large quantity of Spirit Wine. These individuals were responsible for brewing the medium-grade Spirit Rice wine.

This type of Spirit Wine had abundant raw materials, a simple process, and no risk of technical leakage.

As for the low-grade Spirit Wine, Wang Hong continued to purchase some mundane Strong Liquor, soak it with Spiritual Medicine, and store it in the Space for a hundred years. Besides the time cost, it was a profitable venture.

The high-grade Hundred Fruits Spirit Wine, with limited production and a confidential recipe, was exclusively handled by Wang Hong's subordinates.

Skinny Monkey took care of all matters related to Spirit Wine.

Xu Lun managed logistics, including the administration of various supplies, expenses, and the distribution and exchange of contribution points.

Luo Zhongjie took over from Zhang Chunfeng, leading the soldiers in their daily drills and overseeing their management.

With the Lin Family's threat eliminated, they now led a small team out of the city for hunting every month.

He Yuan, with the highest cultivation level in Azure Void City and a wide network, was solely focused on cultivation. Wang Hong didn't assign him a specific role unless conflicts arose with other individuals or factions, in which case he took the lead.

Once all these arrangements were made, Wang Hong bid farewell to everyone with Zhang Chunfeng.

Wang Hong instructed Zhang Chunfeng to report to Qingxu Sect first and went to the location of Taihao Sect himself.

Under Taihao Sect's Light Screen, dozens of people had already gathered, waiting.

As Wang Hong approached, a white-robed cultivator with a horse-faced appearance intercepted him.

"Please show your token."

"Fellow Daoist, I came to inquire about someone. Please be accommodating."

Wang Hong stepped closer, simultaneously handing over a wooden box.

The cultivator accepted the box and discreetly glanced inside, finding five medium-grade Condensing Qi Pills.

The cultivator's expression eased, and he said, "What business do you have? However, if it involves sect secrets, I'm afraid I can't divulge any information."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist. I mean no harm. My brother joined Taihao Sect several years ago, and there has been no news since. As his elder brother, I'm concerned and came to inquire."

Wang Hong spoke truthfully, as there was no need to conceal such matters. He frequently communicated with Wang Yi, and it would inevitably be discovered.

"What is your brother's name?"

"Wang Yi."

As soon as this was revealed, the cultivator gasped. He was well aware of the name Wang Yi.

There was only one person named Wang Yi in the sectthe sole cultivator with a Heavenly Spirit Root.

It was said that Wang Yi's cultivation speed was extremely fast, already reaching the tenth level of Qi Cultivation. He could advance to the Foundation Building stage at any time, becoming the youngest Foundation Building cultivator in Taihao Sect, or even in the entire cultivation world. However, for some unknown reason, he had been delaying the Foundation Building.

Heavenly Spirit Root cultivators could directly progress to the Golden Core stage without any bottlenecks.

Under the Light Screen of Taihao Sect, a Foundation Building cultivator who had been meditating with closed eyes quietly opened them, using his divine sense to secretly lock onto Wang Hong.

It was prudent to be cautious when it involved a sect genius.

"Are you truly his brother?"

"Absolutely!"

The cultivator carefully scrutinized Wang Hong. Although he wasn't familiar with Wang Yi, being in the same sect meant he had seen him a few times.

The two shared some resemblance in their facial features, but their temperament differed greatly. Wang Yi appeared handsome and ethereal, like an immortal, while the person before him seemed quite ordinary, the kind that would easily blend into a crowd.

However, some basic information about Wang Yi was not a closely guarded secret, and even if this person was an imposter, it didn't matter much.

"Wang Yi is a talented cultivator of our Taihao Sect, having already cultivated to the peak of Qi Cultivation. He is highly valued by the sect and is currently taken as a disciple by a Golden Core Elder."

Having said this, the cultivator with a horse-faced appearance stopped, refusing to reveal more.

After many years, Wang Hong finally heard news about Wang Yi. Although he had anticipated that Wang Yi should be doing well, at this moment, Wang Hong couldn't suppress his excitement. He carefully savored and repeatedly chewed on every word the cultivator spoke, and what seemed like simple sentences to others were more melodious to his ears than the world's most beautiful music.

With slightly trembling hands, Wang Hong took out a Jade Scroll and handed it to the cultivator, along with an exquisitely crafted jade bottle.

"I have a family letter here. I hope Fellow Daoist can deliver it for me, and this bottle of Spirit Wine is a token of my gratitude."

The cultivator accepted the Jade Scroll and the bottle. The Jade Scroll had a simple sealing enchantment that, once opened, couldn't be restored, making it a practical form of magical protection.

Opening the bottle's cork and taking a light sniff, the cultivator found it to be a high-grade Tier-One Spirit Wine.

Although this unassuming cultivator was generous, the value of the items wasn't extremely high. Still, they were good things that couldn't be easily bought even with Spirit Stones.

"Fellow Daoist, you're too polite. Since Wang Yi and I share a sect brotherhood, delivering a letter is a small favor. There's no need for a reward. Rest assured, I will make sure it reaches him."

While the cultivator spoke politely, his actions were sincere, swiftly storing the Jade Scroll and the bottle together in his Storage Bag.

In truth, even if Wang Hong had declined the reward after revealing their relationship, the cultivator would have gladly helped with this small favor. In situations where there was no conflict of interest, anyone would be willing to be on good terms with a future Golden Core cultivator, if not to form a friendship, at least to familiarize themselves.

After handing over the Jade Scroll, Wang Hong calmed his somewhat excited emotions and walked towards the Light Screen of Qingxu Sect.

Under Qingxu Sect's Light Screen, more than eighty people had gathered, divided into two areas with two distinct groups.

The two cultivators who had accompanied him on the previous mission were also present, along with several more cultivators wearing Qingxu Sect robes.

After verifying Wang Hong's token, a cultivator instructed him to wait in the less crowded area.

As Wang Hong approached, he saw Zhang Chunfeng among this group of people, waving at him from a distance.

He speculated that this group of people should be the official disciples, while the larger group in the other area must be registered disciples.

Wang Hong stood with Zhang Chunfeng, chatting casually.

As time passed, more people arrived, and those who had waited for a long time gathered into small groups.

Only a few cultivators sat alone in a corner, engaging in Meditation.

Among them, a few cultivators had the most followers, being surrounded by a group of people.

When male cultivators were adored, it was usually due to their good family background or exceptional talent. As for female cultivators, their beauty was often enough. In this regard, Immortal Cultivators were no different from ordinary Mortals or even wild animals in the mountains. Perhaps it was a primitive instinct shared by all living beings.

Wang Hong observed the surrounding crowd with interest.

The people surrounding male cultivators and those around beautiful female cultivators behaved differently.

Those around male cultivators were focused on pleasing and flattering, hoping for future assistance or favor.

On the other hand, those around female cultivators were mostly young cultivators, showcasing themselves to attract the attention of the female cultivator.

Some appeared valiant and imposing, some handsome and graceful, and others showed off their literary talents.

At this moment, a cultivator with a pockmarked face seemed to have just told a joke and burst into laughter, amusing himself. However, the people around him looked puzzled.

Suddenly, the surroundings quieted down instantly, even the pockmarked-faced cultivator stopped his performance.

Everyone turned their heads simultaneously, looking in one direction.
