Chapter 175: The Changing Situation (I)

"Damn it, the folks in the west are really a bunch of fools!"0

Shamoli finally realized why those tribesmen from Mout Yue who returned from the east often looked down upon their western counterparts. Life in the east was completely different, it was relaxing and comfortable. The only headache for Shamoli was the complex and sensitive political life in the east.0

Whenever Shamoli spoke, nine times out of ten, his words would offend someone, leading them to silence him with displeased faces. Unintentionally offending people became a routine until he learned to be cautious, choosing to stay quiet and just smiling happily unless absolutely necessary.0

"Young master!"0

When Shamoli came back to his senses, he saw someone approaching him. After a moment of recollection, he realized that this person was Li Yuanxiu\'s half-brother, which in Shamoli\'s view was akin to a royal family\'s distant relative.0

He quickly replied, "Greetings, brother!"0

The man was slightly taken aback, but since he was accustomed to Shamoli\'s bluntness, he did not take it to heart. He smiled and asked, "Do you like these dancers?"0

"Yes! Of course, I like them," Shamoli immediately grinned. After spending a few days here, he figured out a pattern—if he expressed his liking for something, nine times out of ten, it would be delivered to his room the next day.0

"The only downside is the strict rules of the Easterners. Unlike at home where you can just drag away anyone you fancy, here, you can only have these dancers..." Shamoli sighed in regret.0

Just then, the courtyard gate creaked open, and a young man in a black robe entered. Upon seeing him, everyone else bowed their heads in silence while Shamoli\'s eyes lit up. "Brother Jiao!" he called out warmly.0n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Li Yuanjiao entered the room, glanced around, and was pleased that the useless ones in the family could finally contribute. They got along well with Shamoli and had likely extracted a lot of information from him.0

Seeing Shamoli\'s visibly flushed face from mild intoxication, Li Yuanjiao placed a jade box on the table in front of Shamoli, saying with a smile, "I got some spirit fruits recently and immediately thought of you, cousin. These are for you!"0

Shamoli was overjoyed, thinking to himself, Li Yuanjiao really is my pillar in the Li Family. He has brought me several gifts these past months, each of them excellent spirit items!0

Shamoli expressed his gratitude as he took the jade box, pondering over how much he could fetch for such a spirit fruit. Naturally, Li Yuanjiao was well aware of his thoughts. He knew Shamoli\'s daily activities like the back of his hand.0

Li Yuanjiao then reminded him, "Cousin, I hope you still remember the great endeavor of reclaiming your throne!"0

"Of course I remember!" Shamoli\'s already red face turned a shade deeper. During his first few days in the town, he remained focused on his endeavor of reclaiming the throne thanks to Li Yuanxiu\'s constant reminders. But lately, he had almost pushed the matter to the back of his mind, engrossed in daily pleasures.0

"I must speak frankly, cousin. If you can\'t even attain the Qi Cultivation Realm, you won\'t be able to stay on the throne even if our family managed to place you there... You need to remember this clearly!"0

This warning stunned Shamoli, sending a shiver down his spine, cursing himself internally for even considering selling the fruit.0

Gratefully, he said, "Thank you for the reminder. I\'m extremely grateful! After arriving here, I\'ve already broken through to the fourth stage of the Embryonic Breathing Realm. I will definitely focus on my cultivation from now on and break through to the Qi Cultivation Realm as soon as possible!"0

Li Yuanjiao nodded and left, leaving Shamoli in the courtyard, his gaze still fixated on the dancers. Meanwhile, everyone else was looking at him.0

Shamoli looked in the direction Li Yuanjiao had gone, then cleared his throat and said, "Continue dancing, tonight will be the last... I-I\'ll start cultivating tomorrow!"0

Li Qiuyang, standing at the side with a sword, remained silent. Assigned to protect Shamoli, he had been by his side day and night and had come to understand the nature of this young man quite well. He sighed quietly, thinking to himself, The lineage of the Mulu clan is decent. Although this guy is just a self-indulgent scion, he still managed to reach the fourth stage of the Embryonic Breathing Realm in his twenties! How unfair…0

Touching his graying sideburns, Li Qiuyang realized that he was already forty-five years old. Yet, he had only just condensed the Jade Capital Chakra and attained the fifth stage of the Embryonic Breathing Realm. A wave of sorrow washed over him.0

My cultivation speed has been declining day by day. After sixty, cultivators of both the Embryonic Breathing Realm and Qi Cultivation Realm will see a drop in their blood qi. I wonder if I\'ll ever break through to the Qi Cultivation Realm in this lifetime, to fly with my qi and roam the heavens and earth…0

I started on the path of immortality at eight and seized every moment to cultivate diligently… I\'ve never squandered my time away outside from completing the tasks required by my family. Yet, I might end up dying just like any other mortal, while this self-indulgent scion who spends his nights in revelry, is on the verge of reaching Qi Cultivation Realm... Life is really unfair.

Hiding in the shadows, Li Qiuyang looked increasingly aged, harboring a barely suppressible longing.0

Uncle Tongya has watched me grow up since I was a child and naturally harbors a bit of affection for me as a younger family member… If I ask him for a pill, perhaps I still have a chance to break through to the Qi Cultivation Realm in this lifetime..?"0

Li Qiuyang, lost in thought, could not help but let a wistful smile cross his face, only to abruptly quell his longing. He scolded himself internally.0

With all these talented juniors emerging in the family, not to mention Yuanxiu and Yuanjiao, even Qinghong is making rapid progress. How could I justify wasting precious pills on an old man like me?0

Li Qiuyang bit back his impulse, resigning himself to silence, observing Shamoli without uttering a word. This middle-aged man had dedicated most of his life to the family\'s cause but yet… in the end, he refrained from asking for a single pill from the family.6

"Hahahahaha, how charming!"0

Shamoli\'s laughter echoed in the courtyard, the dim light reflecting off Li Qiuyang\'s gray hair, highlighting his age even more. He seemed out of place amidst the lavish scene. Like a statue, he silently watched over Shamoli as instructed by his family.2

"Senior, the Xiao Family has received the letter and asked me to bring back their reply, expressing their thanks."0

Chen Donghe knocked on the door of the cave dwelling, presenting a jade slip to Li Tongya. He accepted it and scanned it with his spiritual sense.0

Xiao Yuansi\'s warm voice filled his mind.0

Having received Brother Tongya\'s message today, our ancestor has already made a trip into the territory of Mount Yue. With Mount Wu sealed off and left unable to attend to other matters, the Purple Mansion Realm cultivator of Mount Yue is preparing for a breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm within the next six to seven years, during which signs will surely appear in the heavens and earth.0

Within the sect, I\'ve also learned that all twelve disciples of Mount Wu are Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators who have already made deals with the three sects and seven gates. Once this Purple Mansion Realm dies, Mount Wu will cease to exist, with its Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators each leading people to join the three sects and seven gates.0

It\'s possible that three or four of them will remain within Mount Yue to establish their own sects or families under Azure Pond\'s governance. If your clan has any ambitions, you must act swiftly after that person\'s death to take advantage of such an opportunity. Once the situation stabilizes and Mount Yue\'s Foundation Establishment Realm has divided the territory and established relations with the sect, any further plots will become difficult!
