Starting My Cultivation With Time Management - Chapter 980: 120 Smooth

Chapter 980: Chapter 120 Smooth

After returning to Penglai, Shi Liuli was in an unexpectedly good mood.

Luo Yan went to the Sword Casting Workshop to watch her forge a sword, and she even peeled an orange to feed him, making Luo Yan feel nostalgic as if he had returned to the first version of Miss Shi, and he couldn’t help but tear up.

Perhaps it was because his long-held wishes had been fulfilled, that the originally grim and vengeful aura had disappeared.

Thinking carefully, it was my fulfillment of my master’s revenge, wasn’t it? And the revitalization of the Heavenly Craft Workshop was also realized by my hands.

The two biggest wishes of my lady were both accomplished by me alone. Isn’t this the hallmark of a good man?

In this way, even if I wrong her when I take the Heaven-Mending Stone fragment and leave Yuqing View in the future, at least I have made up for it in these matters seventy to eighty percent.

“Seventy to eighty percent?” In the Sea of Consciousness, the Summoning Sword started to stir up trouble, laughing with the Kunlun Mirror, “Ah Jing, do you think it’s as much as seventy to eighty percent?”

“If you ask me,” the Kunlun Mirror said with a straight face, “not even ten to twenty percent.”

“Then your value system differences are just too great.” The Summoning Sword said in surprise.

“No, it’s because he doesn’t understand Shi Liuli at all.” The Kunlun Mirror said coldly, “If these two matters were placed on a scale, on one side being with her own husband and the other being the revitalization of the Heavenly Craft Workshop and avenging her father, Shi Liuli would surely choose the former.”

“I see.” The Summoning Sword pondered, “Then why is she so happy now?”

“It’s because she sees her own husband daring to take risks to avenge her, so she feels contented,” the Kunlun Mirror said with an experienced air, making a high-handed evaluation, “Anyway, this guy plans to abandon his wife and child after mending the sky, which I absolutely cannot accept.”

“Abandon his wife and child?” The Summoning Sword asked in surprise, “Where are the children from?”

“If he abandons the current wife, isn’t that equivalent to giving up future children?” The Kunlun Mirror argued its point.

Summoning Sword: ……..

I get the feeling that this mirror is becoming more and more like him… Whatever, as long as I have something to watch for fun.

As more time passed, with Luo Yan signing formation orders with various sects throughout the Divine Land, the status of the Heavenly Craft Workshop within the Yuqing Penglai Pavilion also rose significantly.

Many other faction elders, such as those in Alchemy, Herb Gathering, Talisman Drawing, and others, came to engage with Luo Yan, hoping he could help them promote their services to customers.

During these interactions, Luo Yan learned from one of the elders that Kunlun had recently sent an envoy, saying they wanted to discuss important matters with Penglai.

By slightly calculating the date, Luo Yan immediately guessed that it’s because Kunlun had received the news of the Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden Secret Realm and was coming to Penglai to do a favor.

The Three Pure Orthodox Sect is closely knit, but some sects are more intertwined. Kunlun needs to ally with Penglai to suppress Shushan, and Penglai wants to cling to the big brother’s leg. Therefore, by calculating the date, it’s even before Shushan received the news.

Knowing the news earlier allows for the gathering of Nascent Soul Realm elders sooner, and personnel can be organized in advance, or even make targeted preparations. One can only imagine Kunlun’s careful planning.

Unfortunately, Penglai here was really disappointing.

The Master of Xuan Du quickly gathered a sect meeting, calling all the Nascent Soul Realm elders together and announced the message of the Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden Secret Realm.

The entire room was silent.

Everyone looked at their noses, and noses at their hearts, just not wanting to go.

The Master of Xuan Du, helpless, had to say:

“Kunlun’s meaning is, in light of lessons learned from last time’s Golden Que Secret Realm, the Demon Cult is very likely to launch a massive assault this time.”

“Except for the elders who guard the sect, whoever can go, go with me. We’ll discuss who enters the secret realm once we’re there.”

“The Sect Leader speaks rightly.” An elder echoed, “Since that’s the case, I’ll stay and guard the sect.”

“Hey! Elder Xuan Yuan, you lost to me in a sword contest last time!” Another elder interrupted, “If anyone should stay and guard the sect, it ought to be me.”

People argued noisily, and the scene became chaotic because everyone wanted to stay and not go to the Extreme North Heaven Pillar for the secret realm selection.

The Master of Xuan Du sighed inwardly, feeling like he still had to draft up names forcefully. His gaze suddenly fell on Luo Yan, who stood leisurely at the back of the crowd, with a “whatever, I’ll make a move” look.

Hmm, Elder Jingyun remains steadfast.

Unlike the other elders, who, for just one spot to guard the sect, argued till their faces turned red and thick-necked with rage. Where’s the dignity in that?

Thinking of Elder Jingyun, the Master of Xuan Du suddenly remembered his Daoist Companion, Real Person Dong You, the only daughter left by Elder Shi Ding, whose recent sword casting grade and quality have improved remarkably.

However, what everyone admires is not the Flying Swords she casts but her magical skills in Art Calculation.

Every calculation delivers predictions that always come true, leading many elders to privately want her for divination… The only problem is, the Heavenly Craft Workshop doesn’t offer divination services, so getting predictions from Real Person Dong You would require a favor in return.

And favors are things people don’t want to give away easily, so not many really approached her in the past anyway.

As this thought passed, the Master of Xuan Du then associated it again with the Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden Secret Realm.

Each secret realm has unique trials. White Jade Capital tests Martial Force, Golden Que tests strategy and wisdom, so what might the trial of the Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden be?

If not Martial Force or strategy, could it be related to Art Calculation? It’s a pity Real Person Dong You has yet to reach Nascent Soul; otherwise, she would be a must-go this time…

“Jingyun.” The Master of Xuan Du called by name, “What are your thoughts?”

Luo Yan: ???

Wait, was it calling me?

He was slightly bewildered because this format of questioning felt too familiar.

Qiu Changtian has already been internally set as the Sect Leader successor, so the Ziwei Master often had him make decisions in front of the entire sect, helping him build prestige and reputation;

On the Shushan side, Su Jian disliked using his brain and didn’t trust others, so he just let his disciples come up with ideas for him.

For Luo Yan, having just recently advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, keeping a low profile, how come he was now being called by Penglai’s Sect Leader to speak up?

“What ideas is the Sect Leader asking for?” Luo Yan cautiously asked.

“In your opinion, who should go and who shouldn’t?” the Master of Xuan Du smilingly explained.

What does this have to do with me! Luo Yan secretly complained, but said aloud:

“Elders left to guard the sect must be strong enough, otherwise, if villains attack while the sect is left empty, it would not be good.”

“Nice!” Among the elders, those with relatively higher realm rank vocally supported.

“But within that secret realm, the risks are certainly high.” Luo Yan continued to analyze, “If anyone is to go inside, it’s best to have elders of higher realm ranks, in this way, no matter what trial, they can respond more efficiently.”

The way he uttered these sweeping statements was incredibly smooth, appearing as though everything has been analyzed but actually arriving at no conclusions, which made the Master of Xuan Du smile bitterly for a moment, saying:

“Then let’s stick to the old rules; I’ll discuss with the Immortal to finalize a list.”

“Sect Leader is wise.” Luo Yan followed with the other elders in praising, secretly chuckling to himself.

Am I that foolish? You ask me, and I give you advice; if it’s useful, you’d surely come to ask again next time?

The Master of Xuan Du announced the meeting adjourned and was about to find the Wan Xiang Immortal for consultation when another thought crossed his mind.

Why not summon Real Person Dong You to have her do a divination and check, who would be more suitable to enter the secret realm?
