People Found Out About The Base I Built On the Moon

Chapter 984: Chapter 123 Mo Cai’er’s Thoughts

Nine Streams Workshop.

“Zhao Yu, you’re truly a genius. It’s only been three months, and you’ve already learned how to make the Golden Light Talisman…”

Liu Wenxuan praised, “Today we’ll continue to consolidate your skill with the Golden Light Talisman. You practice while I watch…”

“Okay!”

Zhao Yu nodded slightly. He didn’t consider himself a genius in talisman making; he believed his rapid progress was purely due to having more time to practice.

“Hey, something big happened recently, have you heard?” Soon, Liu Wenxuan suddenly asked.

“What big thing?” Zhao Yu asked casually.

After three months of spending time together, the two had become familiar with each other.

Zhao Yu had also met Liu Wenxuan’s Dao partner once—a somewhat handsome man, naturally older than him, approaching thirty.

Her Dao partner was usually cultivating every day, mostly at the Gathering Spirit Workshop.

The spiritual energy there was abundant, but the price was also very high.

After understanding more, Zhao Yu learned that Liu Wenxuan, as a talisman master, invested most of the spirit stones she earned into her Dao partner.

“It’s about a commoner girl who caught the eye of a son from a great family…”

Liu Wenxuan, somewhat excited and with a hint of envy, said, “I heard that the girl who was noticed is called Zhao Linglong. She was previously just a servant of the Zhao family, and she met the son of the great family, Gold, during a mission…”

“Gold fell in love with her at first sight and proposed to Zhao Linglong at a large gathering. In the end, the two of them got together…”

“You don’t know, but Gold’s grandfather is an inner sect elder, a big shot at the Nascent Soul Stage. In the future, with Gold’s help, foundation establishment for Zhao Linglong will be more than enough. Maybe one day she could even reach the Golden Core or even Nascent Soul Stage…”

“Zhao Linglong?!”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu couldn’t help but be stunned.

“Right, there’s only one Zhao family in our Mount Shu. Zhao Yu, you used to be with the Zhao family, don’t you know this Zhao Linglong?” Liu Wenxuan said this knowing some of Zhao Yu’s past, aware that he once was a servant of the Zhao family before leaving after a fallout.

Zhao Yu certainly knew who Zhao Linglong was; that was Tigress.

In her previous letters, Tigress mentioned that she had been given the name Zhao Linglong by the second Miss Zhao Linger.

“Is the Zhao Linglong you’re talking about the one who’s about one point nine meters tall?”

“Yes, yes, yes, do you know her?” Liu Wenxuan asked with a bit of curiosity.

“Know her…”

Zhao Yu fell silent for two seconds, then broke into a smile, “But not very well!”

“I see!”

Liu Wenxuan shook her head, “It’s really a case of the same background but different destinies. She caught the eye of a great family’s son and has ascended to the heavens in one step, destined for success in the future…”

Zhao Yu chuckled, “Yeah, if there’s a chance to meet her in the future, I’ll congratulate her!”

He truly didn’t feel as upset as one might expect. His relationship with Tigress was more about gratitude, and now seeing Tigress advancing further, he was happy for her.

After all, when he approached Tigress initially, it was to use her to his advantage. Now, Tigress had moved on and met a son from a great family. She had finally come into her own.

Zhao Yu realized why, since he had arrived at Mount Shu, he hadn’t received any letters from Tigress. It seemed that she too had become more pragmatic.

“Oh, there’s another thing, a strange thing, that I’d like your opinion on!”

Liu Wenxuan spoke with a serious expression, “Recently, there’s been a young girl, looks fourteen or fifteen, who said she wants to spend a thousand spirit stones to become my apprentice…”

“That’s a thousand spirit stones, almost equal to my yearly income…”

“With those thousand spirit stones, plus what we’ve saved, it would be enough to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill…”

Foundation Establishment Pill.

Zhao Yu thought for a moment. The market price for a Foundation Establishment Pill was around ten thousand spirit stones.

This meant that Liu Wenxuan had saved nearly nine thousand spirit stones over the years.

As far as he knew, Liu Wenxuan’s Dao partner, like her, had no significant background and wasn’t skilled in making talismans. He mainly focused on cultivation daily, whether it was for utilizing Foundation Establishment Pills or cultivating in the Gathering Spirit Shop, with expenses paid by Liu Wenxuan.

“A thousand spirit stones…”

As Zhao Yu listened to Liu Wenxuan’s description, suddenly a figure flashed through his mind.

“Did that young girl mention her name?”

“There was another young girl with her, and according to what the other girl called her, it seems like her name is something like Cai’er…”

Indeed, it’s her!

Zhao Yu smiled faintly, realizing she had come for him, unable to resist after three months.

“Whatever her purpose, if she wants to learn from you, just agree. A thousand spirit stones might be a bit excessive, but as long as you sign a good agreement, there won’t be any issue!”

Upon hearing this, Liu Wenxuan let out a sigh of relief, “That’s what I thought too, considering it’s a thousand spirit stones. I hesitated on this windfall, but now, since you’ve said so, I’ll agree to her request…”

She was somewhat excited, “With these thousand spirit stones, we can finally afford a Foundation Establishment Pill…”

“Sister Xuan, you’ve also reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation. After you buy the Foundation Establishment Pill, will you take it, or will you let your Dao partner take it?”

“Of course he will take it!”

Liu Wenxuan said proudly, “He has better talent than me. He has a promising future. After he reaches the Foundation Establishment Stage, we can lead a good life…”

“Is that so…”

Zhao Yu shook his head slightly, not saying much more.

He had seen Liu Wenxuan’s Dao partner too, who didn’t treat Liu Wenxuan well, even demanding and bossing her. His impression of him wasn’t good; his years of experience led him to sense a kind of ingratitude in him.
