Chapter 71 The Group's Defense Breaks
About ten days later.
Grey Wolf Agricultural Company.
"Meng Yu..."
Master Xue appeared in the room, accompanied by Old Li and several others.
Both afraid that their brothers would drive luxury cars and worried that they wouldn't work hard, the Enforcement Hall made considerable effort to recruit Meng Yu, clearly valuing his cultivation, but look what he's doing now?
He spends his days leisurely; even his business trips are chosen for their leisureliness, relaxed like a happy bird, not taking sword training or other practices seriously, focusing a great deal of his energy on alchemy and studying formations instead.
This is not acceptable.
The Enforcement Hall lamented over the seemingly unmotivated young man who shunned overtime and the 996 culture. They hoped to give him a heavier burden, and so Master Xue came to have a talk with Meng Yu.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Master Xue, hello, I am actually working hard, busy with alchemy and practicing formations every day. As for Qi cultivation, mainly because you mentioned, the Minor World of Qi Cultivation needs talents like me, so in terms of cultivation, I am taking it easy, planning to contribute to the Immortal Sect with my Qi Refinement Realm cultivation level, rather than selfishly focusing only on my own practices.
My aptitude is quite decent, and if I diligently practice, I would reach Foundation Establishment by Enlightenment in just ten days to half a month, which wouldn't be good."
Master Xue's current identity was that of a Patrol Envoy, surrounded by several Foundation Building Cultivators from the Enforcement Hall, referred to as Senior Inspectors – retirees and those without hope of reaching Core Formation.
In the presence of the beautiful and enchanting Golden Core Master Xue, Meng Yu's voice was incredibly sincere.
At two hundred and eighteen years old, subtracting a zero to make it just eighteen, Master Xue, looking at this young person of an age not so different from her own, suddenly wanted to hang him up and give him a good thrashing!
As a Nascent Soul baby, she had not been an orphan from the start, rather she began the path of cultivation since her infancy, with her parents cleansing her marrow and nurturing her with spiritual medicine. The docile and obedient Master Xue achieved Foundation Establishment within thirty-six years and then continued to diligently cultivate, work, and laboriously accumulate resources. At the age of one hundred and ninety-eight, she reached Golden Core.
She was extremely proud, even among her talented peers, she was one of the fastest. Her temperament was good, which is also why she became one of the chief examiners for the 10008th college entrance examination of the Immortal Sect. She would always treat students gently and with a warm smile, no matter the circumstances.
But at this very moment, she really, truly... wanted to hang Meng Yu up and beat him!
"Think about what you're saying. Does it even make sense?"
"You expect to achieve Foundation Establishment by Enlightenment in just ten days to half a month?"
"I put forth countless efforts and paid a price to succeed at the age of thirty-seven, and you are insulting my most respected perseverance!"
The gentle and approachable Master Xue took a deep breath.
"Alright, Meng is thinking of the Immortal Sect's best interest, we can understand his feelings. Have you come back for a physical check-up?"
Though Old Li didn't sense the emotional fluctuations of the tender Master Xue, he was very adept at smoothing things over.
"Do I really need one? Each check-up costs a lot of money. Wouldn't it be better to save it to provide better meals for everyone? Besides, I really have been practicing diligently. I've made a great breakthrough in alchemy, Sister Xue, I can show you."
Meng Yu put on a shameless face, addressing Master Xue as 'Sister,' making all the present Foundation Builders laugh at his brazenness.
"Meng Yu, you should still get a physical check-up. Minor Worlds can sometimes be unsafe because of various radiations." Read exclusive adventures at empire
"Sometimes, there are even Extraterritorial Demons."
"Right, and we're all very concerned about your personal cultivation."
After only about a month of traveling, what could he have achieved in his cultivation? Master Xue, upon seeing that he hadn't made any progress, would certainly give him a thorough scolding or even punishment!
Then they could all take Meng Yu's physical examination report and have plenty to criticize.
"You see, you're progressing so slowly with your True Qi, is that good?"
"You can't be complacent, you need to work hard."
"A young man idle, an old man needy."
After all, everyone could see that Meng Yu's cultivation hadn't shown any progress – thanks to the intensive training at Hongye Prison and the cultivation of the Golden Lotus, Meng Yu learned to conceal his abilities well yet without a penchant for showing off.
"Go, get the check-up now."
Master Xue issued a stern command, then joined several Foundation Building cultivators for tea and chat in Old Li's office.
Although as Meng Yu walked away, he was muttering to himself.
"I really don't need to practice much, my True Qi will circulate on its own, at most in three years, I will be able to achieve Foundation Establishment by Enlightenment."
Look at this, is he even human?
"Old Li, what's going on here?"
One of the big shots asked this, sensing something out of the ordinary.
Who wouldn't want to establish their foundation as quickly as possible?
"Meng Yu's situation is rather special, our contract with him contains a clause that he must complete two mandatory red tasks. Simply put, after the task is assigned, unless it exceeds his personal cultivation level, he must accept it.
He is now at the Eighth Layer of the Qi Refinement Realm, his combat strength has already surpassed that of Foundation Building, so carrying out tasks for the Qi Refinement Realm poses no danger to him, but if he were to achieve Foundation Establishment, then he would have to undertake tasks for the Foundation Establishment Stage. At that time, being at the initial stage of Foundation Building, the risk would be much greater."
"So that's how it is."
Old Li's explanation brought sudden realization to everyone.
An hour later, Meng Yu strolled back, and the results of his body examination came out—a digital file was sent to everyone's wristwatch.
"Has he made progress? Let me see."
Master Xue clicked on the results, took a look, then took another look, and finally, she had to take yet another glance.
In principle, a Golden Core Master should have a photographic memory and never make any redundant moves, nor should her mind be anything but serene, but in this moment, she found herself… taking a fourth look.
Fortunately, it was not just her, those few Foundation Building supervisors, their bodies shook or twitched violently, one after the other, as if they had seen a ghost.
Hmph!
How can he improve so quickly!
Especially since it was genuine cultivation, with an excellent compatibility!
"Meng Yu..."
She looked at Meng Yu with slanted phoenix eyes.
She admitted, she was jealous, truly and genuinely jealous!
A few months ago, after Meng Yu came out of the virtual Minor World, the Nascent Soul bigwigs of the Immortal Sect, along with a Divine Artifact, conducted a comprehensive body examination on him. Aside from ruling out anything like an Extraterritorial Demon or Demonic Weapon within Meng Yu, there was of course also a medical report.
That report had at the time already dazzled Master Xue.
Meng Yu's Five Elements Spirit Root wasn't very good, but his physique and the quality of his True Qi, those were things Master Xue hadn't even dreamed of when she was younger, something that even the geniuses among her peers had never achieved.
But now, just look, how high was his growth rate?
"Old Li, is there a problem with this medical report, why are the numbers so high?"
"Are you sure that he's busy with Alchemy and studying Formation, not cultivating?"
"The Qingying Minor World he visited on business, could there be some Heavenly Treasures and Earthly Rarities?"
"Impossible!"
Those Foundation Building cultivators, one after another had their defenses broken, they of course had Meng Yu's previous medical report, and now they looked utterly astounded!
What's the most ostentatious form of bragging in the Immortal Sect? It's not your parents, it's not your territory, but one's speed of cultivation, casually telling everyone, I have advanced.
Even, they can't be bothered to tell you, thinking you're not worthy, or they simply don't care.
Remember the Prison Warden's defenses getting broken? In this moment, these supervisors, their defenses were all shattered!
What do you think?
