Chapter 800: Chapter 797: Wuming's Request Chapter 800: Chapter 797: Wuming's Request Meanwhile, on a hundred-feet sea cliff on the main Island of Mount Putuo, a exquisitely crafted two-story tower loft had been constructed, the ornate and intricate eave carvings on the corners of the roof were an absolute delight for the eyes.

A cliffside platform had been fashioned in front of the tower, akin to the courtyard in the front of a house, beside which stood a begonia tree, under which a young man dressed in white sat by a stone table.

His deep-set eyes and handsome face with sharply defined features, his high cheekbones and the bridge of his nose, a tuft of his black hair was nattily tied up, bound by a purple-gold inlaid jade crown, giving him an air of sophistication and unsophisticated charm.

At the moment, he was gently playing with a white jade teacup in his hand, growing increasingly impatient as he listened to the endlles chatter of the person next to him.

The person beside him seemed completely oblivious to his annoyance and continued to prattle on, “Brother Zhou Yu, you must help me teach those two a lesson this time, otherwise I really don't know how to let this pass…”

“Thud”, the teacup ended up crashing onto the stone table before the person could finish what they were saying.

Surprisingly, the white jade teacup didn't shatter on impact, instead, an imprint circled around the cup was hammered into the stone table.

The noise ceased the ceaseless chatter of the person next to him who cautiously turned to look at the man in white.

“Brother Zhou Yu…”

“Wuming, you've got some nerve to speak, putting self-interest over official duty this time nearly resulted in the injury of your fellows, it's already considered lenient that you weren't sent to the Law Enforcement Hall for punishment, do you have anything else to say?” The white-clothed man arched a brow, speaking coldly.

The person standing beside him was none other than Wuming who had just returned from Star Island, he was full of grievances and was looking to vent to Brother Zhou Yu, however, he didn't expect such a stinging rebuke.

“Brother Zhou Yu, I admit my mistake, but I've had it in for those two from before and they dare to come to our Mount Putuo, please help me teach them a lesson.” Wuming refused to back down.

“Help you…how? Bust down their door? Use your head. They have come to participate in the “Immortal Apricot Conference”. They are guests, not enemies.” Zhou Yu chuckled cynically upon hearing this.

“Regardless, as long as you are willing to help, the offerings my family sends next year will be doubled, how about that?” Wuming gritted his teeth and muttered.

Zhou Yu's eyebrows relaxed slightly upon hearing this.

The Wu Family is an aristocratic family of the Great Tang, they are immensely wealthy. In order to send the family's legitimate grandson, Wuming, to cultivate on Mount Putuo, they had spent a great deal of money and still forked out a fortune as a donation to Mount Putuo every year.

Additionally, as Zhou Yu, being the one to ensure admission for Wuming, and his biological family, receive a substantial annual tribute. If it could be doubled, it would indeed be a tempting offer.

“You're saying it as if it's so easy to teach someone a lesson without leaving a trace. It won't be that simple. You know very well that my Master is the Ancestor Master of Law Enforcement. If he got to know, I won't be able to escape severe punishment.” Zhou Yu hesitated.

“Brother Zhou, I know that you've always cared for Sister Nie, she has failed multiple times when attempting to advance to the Great Mahayana Stage simply because she lacks a ChenYue Pearl. Our family happened to obtain one three months ago. I can ask my grandfather to bestow it upon me. He always agrees to whatever I ask him for. Then you can give the ChenYue pearl to Junior Sister Nie which will definitely help her break through to the Great Mahayana Stage. It will be just like delivering coal in a snowstorm. You will definitely win her over.” Wuming resorted to this as Zhou Yu still did not give in.

“Your family has a ChenYue Pearl?” Zhou Yu's eyebrows shot up in surprise.

“Yes, we purchased it from a demon hunter in the Eastern sea with a large sum of money. Although it was only from a three hundred year old Mirage Demon, fortunately, the quality is quite good and its preservation is also perfect…”

Wuming was interrupted by Zhou Yu before he could finish speaking:

“I will be presiding over the trials in the Immortal Apricot Conference this time. It wouldn't be difficult to arrange an accident causing him to be injured. At most, it would sever his hands and feet. But, if you wish for a severe revenge, then forget it. If any serious consequences occur, being the person in charge I will be held accountable by the sect. You do understand what I'm saying, right?”

“Understand, understand… that's enough.” Wuming chuckled and nodded repeatedly.

“Tell me in detail about those two people…” Zhou Yu picked up the teacup on the table again and slowly began to speak.

Immediately, Wuming lowered his body and began to talk excitedly.

On the other hand, Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian had returned to their respective homes.

After a brief rest, Shen Luo came to the second floor of the loft and sat down on a straw cushion in his room.

He held his Dantian with both hands, and with a slight move in his heart, the Pure Yang Sword Embryo flew out from his Dantian, hanging quietly between his palms.

With a thought, the mana within his body began to gush out from the palm of his hand, strand by strand it wrapped around the Sword Embryo, slowly nourishing the Pure Yang Sword Embryo.

Compared to cultivation, cultivating a flying sword was more boring. Usually, it could also be nourished in the Dantian by relying on its connection with the sword embryo, but the progress was very slow. Meditative cultivation like this was much more efficient.

However, previously, in order to quickly improve his cultivation realm to increase his lifespan, Shen Luo didn't spend a lot of time consciously nourishing the flying sword. Most of the time he relied on the Dantian to nourish it automatically.

Now that his cultivation advancement within a short time is unlikely to break through, it would be better to take this opportunity to nourish the Pure Yang Sword Embryo, as preparation for the upcoming “Immortal Apricot Conference”.

As evening approached, Shen Luo suddenly heard shouting coming from outside. He withdrew the flying sword, went to the window and opened it to look outside.

The evening glow shot in from beyond the valley, marking the whole valley with spotted patches of light and shadow. Everything in the valley, the flowers, the trees, and the buildings, were covered with a gentle halo, which was very beautiful to look at.

“Big Brother Shen.” At this time, a voice came from the base of the tower.

Shen Luo looked down and saw Li Shu waving at him smilingly. Next to her stood a girl in purple clothes who was about her height, with her head slightly lower and hands behind her back – she looked very demure.

“Why are you here?” Shen Luo asked with a smile, jumping down from the window and landing in front of them.

“I heard some disciples saying that you encountered danger in the sea of mist today, I was a bit worried and came to see you.” Li Shu said.

“We met Elder Wei Qing by chance, so it wasn't a big deal.” said Shen Luo.

“That's good… Oh, this is my newly made friend, named Liu Qing, I want to introduce you to her.” Upon hearing this, Li Shu said.

“Daoist Liu.” Shen Luo made a fist salute towards her.

“Nice to meet you, Daoist Shen.” The girl named Liu Qing had fairly round cheeks and when she smiled, her eyes curved in a cheerful manner.

“Daoist Liu, are you also here to participate in the 'Immortal Apricot Conference'?” Shen Luo asked.
