People Found Out About The Base I Built On the Moon Chapter 976: Chapter 120 Qi Cultivation Stage_7

Chapter 976: Chapter 120 Qi Cultivation Stage_7

“Of course, it’s…”

Zhao Linger broke off her speech, fully aware that trouble came from loose lips and dared not to complete her sentence.

Although, in her heart, she believed her Zhao Family’s ident.i.ty was definitely more important, their Zhao family was nonetheless just a minor family surviving by clinging to the Shushan Sect.

To ensure that no highly skilled cultivator overheard, Zhao Linger said with some frustration, “Of course, the ident.i.ty of an outer disciples of Shushan is more important…”

“Then that settles it, Second Miss. You called me in such a hurry, surely you’re not worried that Mo Cai’er has taken a fancy to me?”

“After thinking it over, you’re worrying so much just because you fear I can’t establish my foundation, aren’t you?”

“But if Mo Cai’er takes a fancy to me, then not only the foundation, I guess even reaching the Golden Core Stage would be no issue, right?!”

“If that’s the case, why are you stopping me?”

“Unless, Second Miss, you… like me?!”

Zhao Yu said cheerfully on the surface, but was actually feeling quite helpless inside.

What Zhao Linger said was indeed correct and truly for his own good.

But the problem was, he was no ordinary man.

For ordinary folks, Medicine Valley was off-limits, and that was naturally fine.

However, he didn’t need to follow usual cultivation methods; he just needed to absorb others’ emotions to garner energy for cultivation, making Medicine Valley a very suitable place for him to cultivate.

Because in ordinary cultivation spots, who would like to chat with him often? Every additional word he spoke would only make him more detestable.

Therefore, he could only step out of the Zhao family’s framework and respond as a fellow disciple of Shushan.

“Zhao Yu, do you realize what you’re saying?”

Zhao Linger’s face turned cold, “You’re living in a yard arranged by the Zhao family; if you abandon the Zhao family’s ident.i.ty, then you’ll have to move to Jiufang District…”

“Doesn’t matter, I am still an outer disciple of Shushan either way…” Zhao Yu shrugged.

Even though the Zhao family had given him the opportunity to enter Shushan and become a disciple, providing him the chance to cultivate into an immortal,

he couldn’t just give up his own aspirations to climb higher for the sake of the Zhao family, could he?

For him, the path that ordinary people walked was not the path he should take; the things Zhao Linger mentioned, he couldn’t accomplish any of them.

Better to clarify things now than to have entanglements later, to avoid troubles.

“You… don’t you miss Tiger Girl anymore?!”

“You said before, once I reached the Qi Cultivation Stage, I could meet Tiger Girl, but now I haven’t seen her. Just tell me, what condition did you mention again?” Zhao Yu scoffed and said casually.

The matters concerning Zhao Linger might be unknown to others, but he was crystal clear about them.

After all, Tiger Girl often mentioned Zhao Linger in her letters.

Therefore, Zhao Yu was very familiar with Zhao Linger’s character.

Knowing that she liked to use coercion and bribery, the fact that he hadn’t seen Tiger Girl now most likely meant she had again said something to prevent their meeting.

“You…”

Zhao Linger, exposed, was a bit infuriated and angrily said, “To be frank, Tiger Girl doesn’t love you anymore…”

“On this mission, we were accompanied by a senior brother named Diamond…”

“Although he’s just at the nineth level of Qi Cultivation, he is the grandson of an elder of the inner sect…”

“Most importantly, he likes Tiger Girl!”

“If Tiger Girl ends up with him, not to mention establis.h.i.+ng a foundation, even achieving a Golden Core is very likely!”

As Zhao Linger spoke these words, she felt a sour feeling in her heart.

After all, the biggest backing their Zhao family had was just an inner sect deacon at the Golden Core Stage.

Originally, she had planned to gradually make Tiger Girl forget Zhao Yu.

Who knew that Zhao Yu would lay his cards on the table outright, rejecting the Zhao family and only acknowledging his ident.i.ty as a Shushan disciple.

For her, this turned out to be a good thing.

“Is that so? Then I congratulate her!”

Zhao Yu smiled faintly; he had experienced so many lives and had too many women, Tiger Girl was just one of them, and letting go was not a big deal.

“You…”

Zhao Linger took a deep breath.

Having heard often from Tiger Girl about Zhao Yu’s good qualities, she thought Zhao Yu truly loved her as Tiger Girl did, but it seemed that Tiger Girl had misjudged.

“You are really a sc.u.mbag!”

Zhao Linger said coldly, “You should leave, move to Nine Streams District, and never see Hu Niu again…”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu shook his head and turned to leave.

For him, where he lived really didn’t matter.

He had originally intended to check on Hu Niu, but in fact, even if Zhao Linger hadn’t said anything, he had planned to clarify things with Hu Niu himself.

The two of them weren’t suitable for each other.

After all, women involved with him never ended up well.

Especially since he might have to engage in some dangerous activities in the future, the kind of level of existence involved, let alone Hu Niu, even Shu Mountain might not be able to protect her.

So, Zhao Linger’s words actually made Zhao Yu breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhao Yu returned to his residence. This time, Zhao Ming and Zhao Yi were not in the courtyard but in their own rooms cultivating.

Zhao Yu did not greet them; he took his belongings and left the courtyard directly.

It was only upon arriving in Nine Streams District that Zhao Yu understood why disciples of the Zhao family still stuck together after entering Shu Mountain.

The Nine Streams District felt like a slum to Zhao Yu. If it weren’t for the people coming and going dressed in the attire of outer sect disciples and named disciples, he would have thought he had descended the mountain.

“So, there is such a place on the mountain…”

After some understanding, Zhao Yu realized that most of those who came to the mountain alone ended up staying in Nine Streams District.

As for the place he had lived before, it had been booked by the Zhao family at a high cost.

The purpose, naturally, was to unite the people of the Zhao family and facilitate working together.

That way, even if the lower-ranked disciples made a name for themselves, they wouldn’t forget the Zhao family’s favor.

Nine Streams District had nine streets, from First Stream to Ninth Stream. Ironically, the best place was Ninth Stream, which, as the name implies, had nine streams of spiritual energy sources.

Correspondingly, Nine Streams District had long been booked by a major family, divided into nine streets based on the spiritual energy, with different Spirit Stones required for living on each street.

“Don’t tell me, as an outer sect disciple of Shu Mountain, there isn’t a free place to stay?!”

Zhao Yu was somewhat perplexed.

After inquiring, he learned that the First Street, being the widest and largest, was free of charge, whereas the other eight streets required a fee.

“Then First Street it is…”

Zhao Yu pa.s.sed through the bustling area and went straight to First Street. Upon arriving, he sensed a strong odor of decay.

The streets were spa.r.s.ely populated, and the few pa.s.sersby looked lifeless, like walking corpses.

Most importantly, while he had met mostly young people at the Zhao family’s annex, here, most were middle-aged or older.

Young people like him were almost non-existent.

As Zhao Yu looked curiously at others, many people here, seeing a young man like him, also filled with doubt and curiosity.

Reaching the First Street office, Zhao Yu waited for a long time before the a.s.sistant in charge showed up.

“You want to live on First Street, where did you live before?!”

The man in charge was disheveled, seemingly just from somewhere else.

“Never mind, I can’t bother with you, let’s see if there’s a free spot…” He quickly flipped the register to the back, saw a free spot, and casually pointed, “First Street Section C, Number 907…”

“Show me your ident.i.ty token…”

Zhao Yu handed over the ident.i.ty token hanging at his waist upon hearing this.

The a.s.sistant registered it and then promptly told Zhao Yu to leave.

Following the street signs, Zhao Yu made his way through increasingly desolate and dilapidated areas, encountering more elderly people, which made him doubt if he was still in Shu Mountain.

Moreover, he even found some bloodstains on the street, which smelled very much like human blood.

This left Zhao Yu somewhat bewildered. Weren’t disciples prohibited from fighting on Shu Mountain? What was happening with these bloodstains?

With some doubts, Zhao Yu arrived at First Street Section C, Number 907, only to discover that the room was filled with various belongings.

“What is this…”

Zhao Yu looked up and saw a rod in the middle of the room with several pieces of women’s underwear hanging from it.

As he wondered about this, suddenly a female voice rang out from beside him.

“Who are you?!”
