62: Chapter 62: Rich people feast and drink, while the streets freeze to death

The flying ship, like a streak of light, arrived smoothly at West Sea City after only half a day.

It did not join the long queue at the city gate as usual, but instead, after being verified by the patrol team, it went straight through the Formation, flying over the outer city of West Sea City and directly entering the inner city of West Sea City.

At this moment, Chu Wu was already standing tall on the city wall, with Wang Bin respectfully standing behind him.

The inner city of West Sea City, though named a city, was actually a peculiar layout composed of nine majestic and grand giant mountain Peaks.

Eight mountain Peaks, like loyal guards, closely surrounded the most magnificent central main Peak, and the flying ship slowly and steadily stopped at the foot of the main Peak.

As soon as Wang Bin stepped out of the flying ship, a Spiritual Qi so dense it was almost substantial surged towards him like a mighty wave. He secretly marveled, the concentration of this Spiritual Qi was almost comparable to his precious Foundation Establishment Cultivation Chamber in White Cloud City.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, truly, 'Behind the red gates, wine and meat go to waste, while on the road, people freeze to death!'

No wonder every School meticulously divides its Disciples into different tiers such as Core Disciple, Inner Sect Disciple, Outer Sect Disciple, and Utility Disciple; it turns out the difference in treatment is so vast.

It's also no wonder others can Cultivate so quickly. In comparison, his own past Cultivation path seemed so difficult. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

At this time, Chu Wu calmly introduced:

"Qingmu (Little Friend), as an Outer Sect Disciple, you must have never set foot in the inner city of the Four Seas Commerce League.

This inner city is constructed from nine Spiritual Qi-rich Spiritual Mountains. Beneath each of the eight outer mountain Peaks, a precious Level Four Spiritual Vein is deeply buried.

And beneath the central main Peak, there is an even more coveted fifth-grade spirit vein, enough to satisfy ten Soul Transformation Cultivators for Cultivation.

Using these nine mountain Peaks as the Formation base, a powerful fifth-tier Peak Magical Formation—the Nine Revolutions Heaven and Earth Formation—has been meticulously arranged.

The operation of this Formation follows the mysterious Nine Revolutions and the Dao of Heaven and Earth, possessing the wondrous divine effect of being able to reverse Heaven and Earth and invert Yin and Yang.

During combat, it can arbitrarily change the attributes and rules of the surrounding space, instantly putting invading enemies into an extremely disadvantageous situation;

During defense, it can conjure layer upon layer of spatial barriers, like an indestructible fortress, enough to resist the powerful attacks of Soul Transformation Cultivators.

Even if a powerful Cultivator at the Soul Transformation Stage rashly intrudes, it is absolutely impossible for them to retreat unscathed. This is the fundamental reliance upon which our West Sea City can stand firm here."

Upon hearing this, Wang Bin couldn't help but show a look of shock, sincerely praising:

"It's too magnificent! Just relying on the Spiritual Qi supplied by these eight Level Four Spiritual Veins and one fifth-grade spirit vein, the Spiritual Qi at the foot of the mountain is already this dense. It's truly hard to imagine how astonishingly dense the Spiritual Qi on the mountain will be!"

He was indeed deeply shocked in his heart, and he suddenly understood why no one questioned him when he rented a Foundation Establishment Cultivation Chamber in White Cloud City.

It turns out that in front of such powerful forces, the resources he had previously cherished were so insignificant.

It seems that his future Cultivation plans can indeed be bolder.

The Cultivators on the flying ship disembarked one after another, then dispersed.

Chu Wu then led Wang Bin to a spacious courtyard halfway up the main Peak.

The Spiritual Qi concentration here had actually surpassed that of the Foundation Establishment Cultivation Chamber in White Cloud City.

Chu Wu spoke, "This is my Family. Please wait here for a moment while I go report on the beast tide. After I return, I will properly handle your matters."

Just then, a female Foundation Establishment Cultivator, dressed in a flowing green robe, gracefully walked out.

Upon seeing Chu Wu, she immediately moved with light steps and quickly walked over, sweetly saying:

"Father, you're back!"

Chu Wu nodded slightly and said:

"En, Tianqing, you've come at just the right time. Help me entertain Qingmu (Little Friend). I, your father, need to hand in a mission. I will arrange his matters after I return."

Seeing his Young Miss appear, Chu Wu thought it was a good opportunity to have her entertain Qingmu, so he could quickly go and explain the mission in detail.

At the same time, he also needed to go and see his grandfather, Chu Yunfei, to report the matter of the Azure Flame Bird in its entirety, and to hand over both the Azure Flame Bird and the Blood Spirit Grass, so that these precious items could be dealt with properly as soon as possible, and could be provided for Qingluan's use.

As for how to deal with Qingmu, he also needed to ask the Family for instructions. After all, to fully Cultivate a Foundation Establishment Cultivator into a Golden Core cultivator would require a considerable amount of resources.

All of these had to be carefully discussed within the Family before proper arrangements could be made.

The Chu Family, being such a large Family, had thousands of internal Family members, numerous Family branches, and various houses. Especially for precious items like Golden Core spiritual objects, their quantity was extremely limited, and many Family members had a demand for them.

Chu Wu alone naturally could not make decisions on his own; only his grandfather had the authority to make such judgments.

After Chu Wu left, Chu Tianqing first gracefully brewed Wang Bin a cup of her own scarce third-tier Spiritual Tea. She thought to herself, wanting to see what kind of reaction this seemingly impoverished Cultivator, brought back by her father, would have.

Wang Bin initially intended to politely decline, but when his gaze met the cup of Spiritual Tea, which was almost overflowing with Spiritual Qi, the words that were on the tip of his tongue instantly changed:

"Thank you, Miss Chu, for your hospitality. Then I shall respectfully accept. Don't laugh at me, but this is the first time in my life I've seen such precious Spiritual Tea.

At this moment, my mind and limbs seem to be beyond my control. It's truly embarrassing, truly embarrassing."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tianqing immediately let out a peal of silver-bell-like laughter: "Giggle giggle giggle giggle!"

Wang Bin's words successfully amused the female Cultivator, who had relatively little contact with the outside world.

Wang Bin took a small sip of the Spiritual Tea, and in an instant, his eyes slightly brightened, as if a brilliant Spiritual light flickered deep within them.

The moment his tongue touched the tea, an unprecedented and wondrous taste blossomed brilliantly in his mouth. The flavor was like the fresh scent emitted by the most tender and vibrant Spiritual Plant on a spring morning.

And it subtly intertwined with faint, mysterious Spiritual rhyme, as if wisps of extremely pure Spiritual Qi slowly slid down his throat into his abdomen, causing his body to involuntarily tremble slightly.

A sensation of complete comfort, like a surging tide, spontaneously arose, as if all the pores on his body were joyfully cheering, eagerly absorbing the nourishment brought by this Spiritual rhyme.

As the Spiritual Tea entered his abdomen, he could feel with utmost clarity that the Spiritual Power within his body had been infused with a new source of vitality.

The Spiritual Power, which had originally flowed like a gentle stream, now began to circulate faster, rushing and roaring through his Meridians, yet always maintaining order.

A sense of ethereal clarity surged into his heart. The slight impatience and Random Thoughts accumulated during his past Cultivation process were swept away, his thoughts became exceptionally clear and distinct, and even his previously somewhat vague understanding of the Dao of Immortals now seemed clearly visible.

The aura around Wang Bin began to fluctuate, and a strong sense of Breakthrough could no longer be suppressed.

He looked apologetically at Chu Tianqing opposite him, then sat cross-legged on the ground. After slightly circulating the Green Wood Art, he naturally and smoothly Broke through to the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, as if sailing with the current.

This sudden scene astonished Chu Tianqing, who was standing nearby, dumbfounded.

Full of curiosity, she secretly took Wang Bin's unfinished Spiritual Tea and carefully took a small sip.

However, in her perception, everything was normal. The taste was not special, and the Spiritual Power was not particularly dense; there was no significant difference from the Spiritual Tea she had drunk before!

She couldn't help but ponder to herself,

Could this middle-aged man be a Cultivation Genius, which is why Father brought him home?

Could it be that Father wants him to marry into our Family?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that only I in our Family am not yet married.

But this Qingmu looks quite old, and as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he's actually wearing ordinary Magical Artifacts, which truly makes him seem too impoverished.

This...

Chu Tianqing's mind began to wander uncontrollably. What if the Family had already made arrangements? As a Family member, she naturally couldn't resist!

However, if this Qingmu truly was a forgotten peerless Genius, then it didn't seem entirely unacceptable.

When he advances to Golden Core, he can find a way to adjust his appearance, become more dashing and handsome, which would be barely acceptable.
