Lu Zhenchuan opened his window latch as he heard the sound of a bird, already quite expectant of the cyan spirit bird.
The cyan spirit bird let into the office flew into Lu zhenchuan's arm staring intently before receiving a nod.
This nod from Lu Zhenchuan was to signify his readiness in receiving the message.
Another layer of security from the secure messaging cyan bird.
Though the mannerism of this receiving sign differed across owners.
Li Mu's was a nod.
And there was no need for a sign of otherwise as the cyan spirit bird wouldn't rely relay without.
The spirit bird crawled across his arm before nestling on shoulder and sending a message into his ears.
Having eaten the parchment message, the cyan spirit bird could only transmit the message with speech.
Surprisingly the speech came in a human like voice but with a birdish kind of tone, " Zhan Shenwei, late qi refinement"
Lu Zhenchuan smiled as the message before patting the bird on the head and letting it out the window back
As a special underlin Lu Mu's help had played quite a role in Lu Zhenchuan's machenations and shemes over the years.
And Lu Zhenchuan had done these kind of things a lot over the same years.
Schemes like his present one of Zhan Shenwei, or others, but same, plots against others.
Li Mu was Lu zhenchuan's favourite underlin, quite smart, cunning, and deceptive.
For example, anytime Lu Zhenchuan sent some one over to him to probe his/her strength Li Mu would always prepare for an extra leeway.
For example, Lu Zhenchuan was very certain that the Late qi refinement response from Li Mu at Zhan Shenwei's strength was actually mid qi refinement cultivator.
They had done this some number of times for him to notice this contingency, seeing that their prey was mostly weaker than estimate.
He really liked this about Li Mu, he was not just an "underlin ", they thought similarly.
Yes, quite simalry.
Now when planning against Zhan Shenwei he would plan as like against a " peak qi refinement cultivator".
This was why Lu Zhenchuan had a quite good reputation, he was never caught.
He was cunning and and his underlin was cunning, what could go wrong.
This wasn't all, there would still be a series of scheme by Lu Zhenchuan and Li Mu before the final hunt.
Lu Zhenchuan chuckled again, he was scheming, his underlin was scheming.
What could go wrong .
.....
Having been given another free day, Zhan Shenwei strolled the outer bright jade City leisurely before sending Ji Ji and getting back to his inn to cultivate.
There was no time, apart from credits which was required to enter the Mystic heaven sect, there was also a need for his cultivation level to reach a certain range.
But thankfully he was not behind in this regard, Zhan Shenwei only needed a qi refinement realm cultivation to enter the sect as a servant disciple which he already had.
Zhan Shenwei really felt fortunate, without access to resources, the help of Xia Tianming who had nurtured his meridians with his qi then, helping to boost his cultivation, he wouldn't have reached the qi refinement realm on his own, this quick and easily.
One his qi cultivation talent wasn't really okay, two he had started qi cultivation later than most his peers.
Now amongst his peers, even if his cultivation level couldn't rank among geniuses, he could rank among those with average talents.
Though this easy might even out along the line, as the benefit of better talents would start to showcase yet that was an issue for later for Zhan Shenwei.
Concerning the promise to Xia Yunzi, Zhan Shenwei was scared and afraid that he might have over promised.
from what he could see, it wasn't so easy to earn credits.
The required credits to become a servant discipline was an 100,000
Some many others that had been in the bright jade City years before Zhan Shenwei.
Who didn't want to join the main sect, where they had access to better opportunities and teachings .
It was just that it was difficult, truly difficult.
He could only try his best and take things as they came.
.....
Few months after
Verdant lotus peak, Mystic heaven sect
On a quiet secluded mountain side, a modest looking hut, with a small garden, a young lady dresses in white simple robe attire, elegant and graceful bent as she tended to the garden.
After a while the young lady Xia Yunzi lifted her towards the sky as her pure purple pupils reflected the bright morning sun.
A straw bamboo hat on head and sweat glistening down from her face.
It's been months, how has he been been.
Xia Yunzi's residence peak the Verdant lotus peak was relatively less populated compared to the remaining peaks of the Mystic heaven sect.
The Verdant lotus peak dealt with the planting of spirit fruit, herbs and alchemy, and mostly had female disciples with few male disciples, even the peak master was female.
Ever since entering the sect aside going to listen to lectures by other seniors and elders, and going to receive her disciple allocation every month, she had lived a secluded life, seldom interacting and buring herself into cultivation, herbs and alchemy.
She actually liked this kind of life, just quietly and leisurely seeking the dao, only thing beautiful missing now was her husband, no fiance, Xia Yunzi blushed.
Distance and time does make the heart fonder, she smiled as she took an handkerchief from her bossom and wiped her face.
Taking the basket filled with some harvested spirit herbs, she entered back into her hut.
Although an hut, it was moderately big and nice, in fact Xia Yunzi had specifically chosen this place rather than the usual caves the other disciples fancied.
Although the caves had better spirit qi concerntration, it didn't matter to her, what good spirit qi vein could be in the outer sect area.
She was a core formation realm powerhouse!
Yes, she had now become a core formation realm cultivators, Xia Yunzi wanted to share this with him.
Her core formation went relatively unnoticed by others, but Xia Yunzi knew the stronger disciples and elders were aware, though no one had approached her yet.
This kind of cultivation was enough to establish oneself strongly in the inner court.
It was now possible for her to do so, in fact at her previous peak foundation establishment she could have, some inner disciples were at this level.
It was just that the Mystic heaven sect had a tradition of making disciples go through each stage one by one.
Even if one had an extremely high cultivation, they had to go from outer disciples and go upwards.
Xia Yunzi wasn't also in an hurry to proceed to the inner court.
Although inner disciples enjoyed better opportunities and received better resources than their outer court counterparts Xia Yunzi could really afford to do without, she also did this to wait for Zhan Shenwei as it would be easy to see him in the outer sect when he came to the Mystic heaven sect.
She wasn't being lax with her cultivation, she had a lot of resources with, not a small sum at all, back then the storage ring Ye Mo had given her was pilled with resources, so there was no issue
This was why she could reject a cultivation cave and choose this normal basic hut.
In fact huts were usually abodes of servant disciples in the Mystic heaven sect, outer disciples, inner disciples, true disciples used better abodes.
This hut far better than a servant disciple hut was close to the servant disciple area.
The hut belonged as an outpost for the outer disciples in charge of overseeing the servant disciple activities of this section, a deacon.
Xia Yunzi was hence a deacon.
A deacon was a outer disciple in charge of a task, but this particular task wasn't wanted by others due it being low rewarding and time consuming.
Even the previous outer disciples still had their cave abodes, only using this place when they were on duty.
But for Xia Yunzi this was her only residence, she really didn't care for a cave abode.
Before, the peak elders had to mandatory choose an outer disciple to perform the task for a period of time.
It had been easy for Xia Yunzi to get the hut.
As for the deacon post that came with it or the time consumption, her talent was good and she had a lot of resources and she still preferred the serene and earthly feeling of the hut to the small caves of the outer sect.
A yellow robed pretty girl skipped from the outer court area and approached Xia Yunzi's hut, stopping at the wooden fence of the residence, she called out.
" Sister Yunzi, Sister Yunzi!"
Inside the hut Xia Yunzi having prepared, heard the familiar bird chirp, no call, and proceed to leave the hut.
Today was not the monthly allocation day, neither was there a lecture by a senior or elder, but she was leaving her hut.
