I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life - Chapter 44: Celestial Secret Pavilion Evacuates
Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Celestial Secret Pavilion Evacuates
“Brother Lu, you’ve truly misunderstood!”
“Though my cultivation might be lacking, I… nonetheless practice Wood Element techniques! Its health benefits are immensely strong!”
Wood Element techniques are brimming with endless vitality, and in that respect, possess the effect of revitalizing dried wood in spring, contrary to what Lu Zhenhua claimed.
To be honest, ever since cultivating the Evergreen Skill, Li Jizhou’s desires from the depths of his body have been multiple times stronger than in his previous life.
Additionally, considering the unique nature of his cultivation of the full Evergreen Skill, with its prolonged life force and robust, sustained flow that replenishes swiftly, he can engage with ten women a day without needing to lean against a wall or experiencing any depletion.
“So, might it be that this time, dear brother…” Lu Zhenhua teased.
However, just as he was speaking halfway, an attendant suddenly rushed in hurriedly.
“Hmm?” Lu Zhenhua had been a shopkeeper for several years at the Ten Thousand Talisman Pavilion’s branch at Inverted Mountain, reigning supreme over its small territory.
He had long developed the temperament of a superior.
Seeing the attendant barging in hastily, he immediately frowned.
“Shopkeeper, within the Celestial Secret…” The attendant explained halfway, only to realize Li Jizhou was present and halted immediately.
“What happened with Celestial Secret Pavilion? Speak freely, Li, dear brother, is not an outsider.” Lu Zhenhua urged.
Before the attendant could elaborate, Li Jizhou sensed through the soul contract the signal transmitted by Guagua.
“Shopkeeper, Honored Guest Elder Li, the Celestial Secret Pavilion just suddenly evacuated completely without any prior warning!”
“Complete evacuation? Entirely abandoning Inverted Mountain operations?” Lu Zhenhua stood up abruptly.
Ever since Li Jizhou had mentioned the abnormal behavior of the Celestial Secret Pavilion, he had privately kept a close watch on them.
“Is the reasoning known?” Li Jizhou’s breath slightly halted.
The attendant immediately replied, “The people of Celestial Secret Pavilion remained deeply secretive, only mentioning headquarter mobilization!”
“Dear brother, this matter is of utmost importance, I need to immediately contact the main pavilion, I’ll notify you of any updates—apologies!” Lu Zhenhua’s face grew stern, clearly recognizing the significance of Celestial Secret Pavilion’s ability to foresee and anticipate events.
If the situation remains unclear, no one will be at ease.
After Li Jizhou bid farewell, he headed directly to the stilted building of the Celestial Secret Pavilion in the inner city.
Yet, he was still one step too late,
The Celestial Secret Pavilion had evidently packed up early on, departing swiftly today.
At this moment, he could only watch from a distance as the flying ship of Celestial Secret Pavilion sped towards the northeast.
Inside the Celestial Secret Pavilion building, cultivators had already scoured everything thoroughly, even engaging in battles.
Li Jizhou retreated to a safe area, yet his eyes remained fixed on the gradually distant flying ship of Celestial Secret Pavilion.
A year and a half ago, when Celestial Secret Pavilion suddenly replaced their personnel and insisted on a minimum three-year renewal fee, he felt it was unusual.
Yet he had never uncovered the true reason.
Now, they unexpectedly abandoned this inner city’s stilted building!
“What precognitive information have they mastered?”
“What sort of information would make them abandon the entire Inverted Mountain operation?”
“Is it a matter of life and death crisis?”
Pondering deeply without finding an answer, Li Jizhou took out reports to scrutinize carefully.
Still fruitless!
Based on the past two years’ report analysis, the overall state of Inverted Mountain remains stable.
At least it shouldn’t impact the safety of Celestial Secret Pavilion!
“The reports must conceal some crucial information!”
Beneath a collapsed nest, no egg is intact.
During this critical moment with only three months left before departing this chaotic place, Celestial Secret Pavilion’s withdrawal left Li Jizhou feeling uneasy.
It’s not only him who feels uneasy.
Less than an hour after Celestial Secret Pavilion’s complete evacuation, most entities with power backgrounds within Inverted Mountain transmitted the news back to their headquarters simultaneously.
Among them, those operating shops within Inverted Mountain were the most anxious.
Whenever chaos erupts, nothing can prevent looting.
Especially here at Inverted Mountain where fish and dragons are mixed, the slums even house tens of thousands of impoverished Loose Cultivators.
In the southwestern outer city, at the Yang family’s Spirit Fish Workshop.
“Yutong, hasn’t Young Master Ye come out of seclusion yet?” The Third Elder of the Yang family, Yang Yongxin, paced continuously in the hall.
“Ah, Uncle, stop pacing, you’re making me dizzy!” Yang Yutong supported her face with her hands on the tea table, her eyeballs following Yang Yongxin’s footsteps, gradually growing dizzy.
“We can’t wait anymore, go call Young Master Ye, we’re evacuating Inverted Mountain this afternoon!” Yang Yongxin seemed not to hear Yang Yutong’s words, suddenly deciding.
“Evacuate? But… isn’t our business here doing quite well? Last month you even said to open a few more shops, why suddenly decide to leave?” Yang Yutong asked in surprise.
“You don’t understand the implications of Celestial Secret Pavilion! Back then, your father, your grandfather, and I discussed starting a shop in Inverted Mountain precisely because Celestial Secret Pavilion had stabilized here for decades.
Now that Celestial Secret Pavilion abruptly withdrew, something major is undoubtedly about to happen!” Yang Yongxin explained while tightly closing his eyes, stroking his beard.
“Are you truly going to leave?”
“Absolutely!”
“Uncle, then wait for me, I’ll head to the eastern outer city, and be back within at most three hours!” Yang Yutong realized the urgency of the matter and hurriedly said.
“Why go to the eastern outer city?” Yang Yongxin turned around, looking at Yang Yutong with confusion.
“I heard from Big Bull that he used to live there, and… he always saw a Loose Cultivator named Li Jizhou as a big brother. I want to meet Big Bull’s brother.” Yang Yutong explained frankly.
When Wu Daniu joined the family, Yang Yutong was no more than ten, chasing Wu Daniu for wedding candy.
Additionally, because Wu Daniu was of a modest nature and felt a bit inferior upon first entering the Yang family, he interacted less with adults, instead forming a rather deep friendship with the young Yang Yutong.
“Why bother meeting some Loose Cultivator from the Inverted Mountain slums?” Yang Yongxin responded irritably.
“No, I want to know where he gets the audacity to reject my sister.” Yang Yutong suddenly blurted out, driven by urgency.
“Nonsense! What are you talking about? How can my daughter of the prestigious Yang family of Qingshui River be compared with a Loose Cultivator from Inverted Mountain slums?” Yang Yongxin immediately rebuked in anger.
“But Big Bull himself said so!”
“That’s Wu Daniu talking nonsense, joking with you!
He already apologized in front of the clan that year, don’t bring it up again,
In this region, the Yang family of Qingshui River is considered a noble family, how can we wed our daughter to him?
Your uncle was recruiting a son-in-law here then, and it was the father of the Golden Sun Sect’s fairy who spoke on behalf of that guy, your uncle agreed to let him choose among the lineage.
But definitely not our eldest daughter,
And it was ultimately not him rejecting our Yang family.
It was your uncle sensing he cultivates the Evergreen Skill, his prospects aren’t bright, so he refused him!” Yang Yongxin spoke harshly, visibly angry.
Five years ago, for some reason, Wu Daniu inexplicably said those words to Yang Yutong,
As a result, how could Yang Yutong, being just a kid, keep it a secret? By the next day, the whole clan knew.
Causing shame to the eldest daughter.
Eventually, Wu Daniu was punished and forbidden from further interaction with Yang Yutong.
