Heavenly Mechanism Tower
Li Yun was reclining on a lounge chair, holding an ancient in his hands.
The was titled... The Biography of Emperor Tianyu.
It was the growth story of an emperor, and one Heavenly Mechanism point could be exchanged for a lot of these. They weren't really valuable and were widely circulated in the outside world. Any cultivator, to some extent, had heard of it.
When bored, he would flip through one.
He had to admit, the authors of these biographies were quite skilled. They depicted various scenes vividly, making it feel like being there in person.
In his original world, it would definitely be considered a “feel-good” story.
After all, those who became emperors were invincible among their peers, and even those one or two realms higher would be nothing more than cannon fodder.
Well...
Except for a certain Ancient Emperor.
Other emperors were all “invincible” in their own way, desiring to crush the heads of forbidden zone beasts. But only that one emperor, after achieving his title, made a large batch of death tokens.
As for combat strength, let's not even mention it—the real strength lay in his life-preserving techniques.
“Sigh...”
Looking at the Li Yun glanced outside during the page turn, noting that it had been three days and still no customers had come by. The flowers were about to wither from waiting.
A few ordinary people had entered, clearly mistaking him for a fortune teller, asking about marriage prospects, which he casually dismissed with a couple of words.
Having tasted the lavishness of cultivators, Li Yun truly had no interest in ordinary folk.
Earning a little silver couldn't even get him a single Heavenly Mechanism point. It was utterly useless.
“Senior, please have some tea.”
Liu Chengxue walked over with a teacup, speaking softly.
“Mm... Hm?”
Li Yun nodded and glanced at Liu Chengxue. His gaze shifted as he asked in surprise,
“You've broken through?”
When they first met, Liu Chengxue was at the mid-stage of the Open Meridian Realm. In just a few days, she had reached the late-stage. The speed was astonishing.
Before, Li Yun often suppressed Liu Chengxue's power, but seeing she meant no harm, he had let her be. To his surprise, once he relaxed, her cultivation broke through.
Her growth in strength was like a rocket taking off.
“It's thanks to Senior's guidance.”
Liu Chengxue blushed slightly and shyly spoke.
Inside the Heavenly Mechanism Tower, everywhere was filled with the essence of the Dao. Being here felt as if she was in a constant state of enlightenment, and every day she gained new insights into the cultivation path.
Over time, her cultivation had naturally broken through.
To Liu Chengxue, this mysterious method must have been some secret guidance from Senior, though she didn't want to admit it.
“This is your own fate. Remember to have your master reimburse me for the accommodation fee—ten thousand high-grade spirit stones!”
Li Yun said casually.
“Senior, you're as humorous as ever.”
Liu Chengxue responded subtly.
At Senior's level of power, many things were no longer of use to him, like the Saint-level weapons that they revered.
In Senior's eyes, they probably weren't worth mentioning.
But whenever Senior sent out a message, he always took a reward, which Liu Chengxue thought was simply because Senior didn't want others owing favors.
That's what a Senior should be like—high-minded and admirable.
Liu Chengxue couldn't help but think she would never be able to achieve that level.
“Humorous...”
Li Yun was speechless.
She could really imagine anything.
“By the way,”
Li Yun closed the sat up, and asked, “Miss Liu, you are a young genius of the current generation. I'm sure you know about the younger generation. Who do you think can be called the first among them?”
“Uh...”
Liu Chengxue hesitated.
Was this a test for her?
Senior knew everything, so why ask this question?
She thought for a moment and tentatively asked,
“My senior sister?”
Li Yun twitched the corner of his mouth and asked again, “Then who do you think is second?”
“My second senior brother?”
“...”
Li Yun was completely speechless.
Now he understood completely. Liu Chengxue was a Da Luo enthusiast. Everyone outside Da Luo Sword Sect was just “lowly” in her eyes. First place was her senior sister.
Second place was her second senior brother.
And the third? No need to ask.
It was obviously her.
She had that kind of “all heroes are beneath me” attitude.
“However...”
Li Yun's expression showed signs of contemplation as he glanced at Liu Chengxue and thought, “This seems like an opportunity!”
There must be many others like Liu Chengxue in this cultivation world, countless ignorant young girls who believe their senior brothers are invincible.
What if I, like a Jianghu expert from a martial arts created a ranking for young talents? Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?
On one hand, I'd shatter their unrealistic fantasies.
On the other hand, it would also elevate the reputation of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower.
A perfect plan!
Though a bit harsh, it was undoubtedly a good one!
Just as Li Yun was thinking about how to proceed,
Two figures slowly approached the Heavenly Mechanism Tower from the outside.
When they arrived at the entrance, they stopped. The Lord of Great Wasteland City stepped forward and respectfully said,
“Senior, I seek an audience!”
“Oh?”
Hearing the voice, Li Yun turned his head and looked. Seeing the visitors, his eyes lit up as he smiled and said,
“City Lord, no need for formalities. Please come in.”
“Thank you, Senior.”
Upon hearing Li Yun's voice, the Lord of Great Wasteland City breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed he still had some presence in Senior's eyes and wasn't rejected outright.
The Lord of Great Wasteland City and Beichen Heng entered the tower, one after the other.
Li Yun scanned them with a glance, his eyes gleaming brighter.
A returning customer? And now introducing new clients?
He hadn't expected this.
Ren Qingtu and Yang Qiu, two Saint Lords, were actually less reliable than a mere Lord of Great Wasteland City. If only he hadn't given them such good opportunities!
