Chapter 999: Chapter 126 Transferring Anger

“Why are you so good to me?!”

Liu Wenxuan was moved to tears and hugged Zhao Yu tightly, her mind a whirlwind of emotion.

[Affection from Liu Wenxuan, Energy ＋19999]

Zhao Yu was shocked; he had not expected that Liu Wenxuan, with her Qi Cultivation Stage level progress, had managed to increase her energy again.

Now, the amount of energy Liu Wenxuan could provide him was comparable to that of a cultivator at the Early Golden Core Stage.

With his own level progress in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, seeking to obtain energy from someone at the Early Golden Core Stage was extremely difficult, unless the other person was his mother or father; otherwise, it might lead to lethal danger.

So, this was the real method to acquire energy.

Zhao Yu could almost confirm that the system’s true goal wasn’t for him to find more people from whom to draw energy, but rather to specialize and focus on a few individuals.

If that was the case, then what Liu Wenxuan mentioned about finding another woman was quite necessary.

However, what disappointed him was that though Mo Cai’er also loved him dearly, she was nowhere close to exceeding limits like Liu Wenxuan, who had exceeded them by twentyfold.

After a detailed analysis of Liu Wenxuan’s situation, Zhao Yu realized that women who were despondent about life seemed more likely to yield energy values that greatly exceeded the norm.

Zhao Yu calculated that, considering the current situation of energy absorption, Liu Wenxuan alone could help him advance to the Golden Core Stage.

But moving forward would be difficult since Liu Wenxuan’s limited talent meant that advancing to the Foundation Establishment Stage had already been quite an achievement for her, let alone breaking through to the Golden Core Stage without a huge stroke of luck.

“Solutions for both aspects…”

Zhao Yu thought for a while and felt that, on one hand, he needed to continue enhancing his ability to earn money to possibly raise Liu Wenxuan’s level progress.

On the other hand, he had to find another ‘Liu Wenxuan’ with more potential.

Otherwise, his future might be confined to either the Golden Core Stage or the Nascent Soul Stage.

After all, the higher the level progress a person had, the more experiences they had been through, and trying to completely refocus would become extremely difficult.

Over the next three days, Zhao Yu spoke many words of affection, trying to further Liu Wenxuan’s breakthrough.

Unfortunately, exceeding limits was never achieved by these means; after three days of sweet talk, there was no breakthrough.

However, Zhao Yu did not feel regret; a twentyfold excess had already provided him with ample energy.

“Go into seclusion now. Only when you reach the Foundation Establishment Stage can we go further. Even if you want to help me, you need to live long enough to do it!”

Liu Wenxuan initially did not plan to take the Focus-Heart Pills and Foundation Establishment Pills because she felt she was not worthy and would rather leave them for Zhao Yu’s future spiritual partner.

After all, in her view, the true spiritual partner for Zhao Yu would be a woman capable of bearing his children.

But Zhao Yu would not let it be as she wished; he coaxed and persuaded until Liu Wenxuan agreed to enhance her own level progress.

Thus, after a reluctant farewell between them, Liu Wenxuan checked into an inn rich in spiritual energy.

“Almost three or four months, at most half a year, and she’ll break through…”

Zhao Yu, alone, continued to study Alchemy regularly at the house of Elder Sun next door.

Finally, three months after Liu Wenxuan left, Zhao Yu’s Alchemy skills had another breakthrough, reaching the level of a second-tier Alchemist.

Of course, this was also connected to the vigorous teaching efforts of Elder Sun.

Initially, Zhao Yu was worried Elder Sun might not teach well, but it turned out much to his surprise; Elder Sun treated him like his own son, teaching him meticulously everything he had experienced and summarized over his more than hundred years of Alchemy.

Another month passed, and Zhao Yu had begun to learn how to create healing pills.

Not sure if it was an illusion, he felt that Elder Sun looked older every time they met, giving him a sense of instability, as if he could pass away at any moment.

One day, as Zhao Yu was in his house contemplating the details of producing healing pills, suddenly there came a series of whooshing sounds from outside.

It is known that only cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage or higher could fly in Shushan, and the whooshing sounds outside indicated there were many people.

Zhao Yu was startled and quickly walked out of his room, only to find several individuals in law enforcement attire entering the house of the couple, Huang Songyu, living next door.

“Are you the resident here?”

Seeing Zhao Yu, one of them pointed casually, and the house’s array formation lost its effect as they immediately entered to question him.

Meanwhile, several law enforcement cultivators subtly surrounded Zhao Yu in the middle.

Zhao Yu realized something was not right and quickly bowed, saying, “Yes, I am cultivating here. May I know what brings these esteemed law enforcement officers to me?”

“The Huang Songyu couple lives next door to you. Did you know that?”

“I am aware, I have only moved here recently…” Zhao Yu quickly replied.

Compared to the two-hundred-year lifespan of the Foundation Establishment Stage, a year or half indeed did not count as long.

“How well do you know the Huang Songyu couple?” the chief of the law enforcement team asked with narrowed eyes.

“Our relationship is quite superficial. They are very cautious in their behavior and rarely interact with neighbors…”

Zhao Yu shook his head saying, “I only met them once when I first moved in. Later, I greeted them a few times, but they never responded, so I didn’t bother to keep trying to warm up to them…”

He suspected that the Huang Songyu couple might have gotten into trouble, possibly related to the Focus-Heart Pills, so he tried his best to dissociate himself from any relationship with the couple in his statements.

The law enforcement team leader then repeatedly questioned Zhao Yu on various aspects, all of which he smoothly deflected.
