Family Management Game In Immortal Continent Chapter 754 - 749: Number 39
Previously on Family Management Game In Immortal Continent...
“The Fifth Maiden from Cave-dwelling Number 39?”
Li Wei felt his eyebrow twitch. In this villa area, the ranking of the cave-dwellings was determined by sheer strength.
“Number 39 was formerly the Chief Instructor? *Hiss*~ If that’s the case, how powerful must the others be?”
The thought of Grandma Ling suddenly crossed Li Wei’s mind. It appeared he had still failed to fully grasp the extent of Grandma Ling’s true capabilities.
Without delay, he entered the living room and questioned Yuexian, who was busy cleaning, “Yuexian, is the Fifth Maiden from Number 39 currently at home?”
“She is indeed, Master.”
A flicker of golden light passed through Yuexian’s eyes as she offered a smile. “Master, are you heading to the Fifth Maiden’s cave-dwelling to catch a free meal? Perhaps you should ask her for a Spirit Stone loan. The property tax for the house is almost due.”
“That is a trivial sum. No problem at all.” Li Wei puffed out his chest with pride.
Poor Yuexian had no clue that his storage ring contained little else besides Spirit Stones—so many, in fact, that purchasing all of California would be effortless.
Besides, this California wasn’t even as large as two regional cities. “Don’t you worry, Yuexian. Just follow your master, and in the future, I will ensure you get to eat the most expensive batteries available.”
“...”
Yuexian watched in silence as her master, chest held high with confidence, marched out the front door.
Upon exiting Cave-dwelling Number 1, Li Wei’s mouth gave a slight twitch. As his Cultivation realm continued to ascend, he became increasingly sensitive to the thick concentration of Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi within the villa area.
He observed that the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi was practically overflowing from every cave-dwelling.
If someone were to release a Divinity Transformation stage cultivation base in the hallway, it would likely be crushed by the dense Spirit Qi radiating from the various residences. Compared to them, his own cave-dwelling seemed the most pathetic of the lot...
Before long, Li Wei reached Cave-dwelling Number 39 and rapped on the door.
Even before the door opened, a profound, scholarly scent wafted out from inside Cave-dwelling Number 39.
When the entrance finally opened, Li Wei was greeted by a woman wearing pajamas, her eyes looking heavy with exhaustion.
She was one of the rare seniors in this villa area who maintained a youthful appearance.
“Fifth Maiden.”
The Fifth Maiden possessed eyes as clear as lake water. Truthfully, if it hadn't been for Boss Qi, Li Wei would have remained ignorant of the Fifth Maiden’s extraordinary status.
Li Wei suspected that if she weren't so indifferent to competition, her ranking among the cave-dwellings in the villa area would be significantly higher.
“Young Master Li? This is a rare visit.”
The moment the Fifth Maiden laid eyes on Li Wei, her sleepiness vanished instantly, replaced by a look of intense curiosity. “Are we throwing another party?”
He gave a shake of his head. “Fifth Maiden, I’ve come to ask something—it’s a question regarding cultivation.”
“A question about cultivation? Young Master Li, please, come inside.”
As soon as cultivation was mentioned, the Fifth Maiden’s demeanor turned grave.
Li Wei stepped into the Fifth Maiden’s room.
He noticed the walls were adorned with various ink-wash paintings.
Every one of these paintings radiated a formidable aura.
This brought to mind a specific profession for Li Wei—a Painter!
As he sat in the Fifth Maiden’s hall, he noted that the decor was both antique and sophisticated.
The Fifth Maiden was clearly traditional, showing a preference for ancient items.
It seemed as though everyone residing in the villa area shared this traditional streak.
While the Fifth Maiden served the tea, the two engaged in light conversation for a moment.
Then, Li Wei spoke up, “Fifth Maiden, I heard from an old acquaintance that you served as the Chief Instructor of Cultivators in the past; many masters were trained by you. I want to learn how to achieve a rapid breakthrough to the Void Refining realm.”
Upon hearing this, the Fifth Maiden replied solemnly, “Whether one aims for the Void Refining, Integration, or Mahayana realms, achieving a breakthrough now demands significant time and personal enlightenment. If this were a millennium ago, it would be simple; the world was full of fortuitous opportunities. However, Earth is quite small, and those chances were seized long ago. Nonetheless, you could study under me. It would only take a century. Under my guidance...”
“A hundred years?”
Li Wei’s mouth twitched. Reaching the Void Refining stage in a hundred years...
This only proved how terrifyingly strong the Fifth Maiden was.
In the entirety of the Azure Dynasty, very few would dare claim they could assist someone in reaching Void Refining within a single century.
But a hundred years... it would be much faster to simply return to the game world and utilize the time-flow difference to let his foundation stabilize gradually.
Sensing Li Wei’s lack of patience, the Fifth Maiden hesitated briefly before speaking in a heavy tone, “There is one other path. It is somewhat... damaging to the harmony of Heaven, and it is a forbidden technique handed down from ancient times. It was conceived by an ancient Immortal Clan and proven step-by-step by those who followed.”
Hearing this, Li Wei’s face lit up with excitement. Damaging to Heaven’s harmony? Well, it wasn't hurting Li Wei himself.
Immediately, Li Wei began to commit the Fifth Maiden’s instructions to memory. The more she spoke, the more his eyes sparkled!
“My thanks, Fifth Maiden.”
Li Wei left in high spirits. “I owe the Fifth Maiden a massive favor. Once I’ve secured my fortune, I will definitely send her the finest painting paper, ink, and treasures.”
“It is the thought that matters.”
The Fifth Maiden offered a faint smile, watching Li Wei’s departing figure with a dazed expression. “Everyone has already stepped back into the world... is it you?”
She had a vague memory of a massive blizzard.
In the midst of the snow, a master cloaked in black mist, gripping two spears, felt his Divine Soul already beginning to fade. Nevertheless, he continued to roar, desperately striking the unbreakable grand formation with his spears over and over, until a flash of blinding white light totally engulfed the brutal winter.
