My Perfect Immortal Cultivation Life

After returning home from Wanfatang, Li Yu did not assign himself any tasks.

After wandering aimlessly around the mountain, Li Yu found Qiu Xu's residence.

"Senior Brother Qiu Xu, I'm here!" Li Yu smiled and peered into the house, where he saw Qiu Xu.

Upon hearing Li Yu's voice, Qiu Xu's body trembled reflexively before he managed a forced smile: "Brother Li Yu, what guidance do you have?"

Li Yu naturally noticed Qiu Xu's predicament, but he could understand it.

I wasn't that close to Qiu Xu, and suddenly emptying his life savings would definitely make him feel uneasy. Looking back now, it was quite brave of Qiu Xu to lend me his entire savings.

"It's nothing. I just borrowed some contribution points from you last time, and I'm here to return them."

Li Yu promptly transferred 1000 contribution points to Qiu Xu: "Thank you for your help, Senior Brother Qiu. If you don't mind, how about I treat you to a meal at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion in the outer sect?"

Qiu Xu was clearly surprised that Li Yu returned the contribution points to him so quickly. For a moment, he even wondered if he was dreaming.

"Drunken Immortal Pavilion? That place isn't cheap."

Li Yu said, "It's alright. I've been eating at your place so many times, it's my turn to treat you."

……

Dao Yi Sect - Outer Gate

The outer gate of the Dao Yi Sect wasn't where the outer disciples stayed, but rather a medium-sized city. It housed nearly a million mortals, along with a small number of independent cultivators. They all relied on the Dao Yi Sect's assets for their livelihood, and over time, the outer gate became increasingly prosperous.

Li Yu's decision to bring Qiu Xu to dinner wasn't simply about repaying a debt of gratitude. He wanted Qiu Xu to have his backing. After all, Qiu Xu was an inner sect steward, and to the outer sect members, Qiu Xu's words carried far more weight than those of the city garrison commander.

With Qiu Xu around, I don't have to worry about others causing me trouble later.

Qiu Xu led the way, and they quickly arrived near the Drunken Immortal Pavilion using the sect's teleportation array.

Zuixianlou's ranking among the top 20 must-eat restaurants in the Myriad Realms, as voted by players, is certainly justified.

As soon as you step into Zuixianlou, the sounds of silk and bamboo instruments fill the air, and the warm pavilion is filled with the fragrance of incense. The diners are all sipping their wine and listening to the music in a relaxed and languid manner.

Just as they were pausing to look around, a young woman dressed in a light blue gauze dress gracefully stepped forward, her voice soft and sweet: "Esteemed guests, you must be tired from your journey. Please come and sit with me."

After saying that, she turned slightly to the side, and the hem of her green gauze skirt swept lightly across the ground without making a sound.

Li Yu and his companion found a private seat by the window, where they could see people moving about in the lobby of Zuixianlou downstairs, seemingly preparing for some event.

Qiu Xu sighed, "I usually don't dare come to Zuixianlou. I haven't even married a Daoist partner yet, and I'm afraid I'll lose all my savings here. Fellow Daoist Li Yu, do you know what these servants in the main hall are preparing?"

Li Yu pretended not to know and asked Qiu Xu to explain.

"The Drunken Immortal Pavilion has a special gambling game. They will find several rare and precious treasures from the primordial era in advance and display them on the stage."

These rare treasures have been covered in dust over time, so most of their spirits are no longer visible, making them impossible to open and their use unknown.

Zuixianlou will invite diners to the stage to try and resonate with the rare treasures, unlocking their hidden secrets. Unlocking the first treasure will earn 10 contribution points. Unlocking the second will earn 30 contribution points. If all ten treasures on stage are unlocked, Zuixianlou will award 3000 contribution points and grant a private moment with Miss Miaowen.

Qiu Xu looked longingly at him: "If only I had that kind of ability! Money doesn't matter, I just really want to see Miss Miaowen's face! If I could marry her, I'd be willing to die on the spot!"

Li Yu was speechless: ...This is too depressing...Brother.

At that moment, a sneer came from the next private room: "Who do you think you are? Marrying Miss Miaowen? Go back and study the Thousand Character Classic for a few more years."

Qiu Xu was a little annoyed when he heard this.

His greatest wish in life was to marry a beautiful and talented Daoist partner. Anyone who dared to criticize him on this point would be touching the dragon's sore spot.

"What do you mean?" Qiu Xu retorted immediately.

Next door, a wealthy young man with a pale face, wearing a feather fan and a turban, said with a mocking expression: "Drunken Immortal Pavilion is the most elegant place in the outer sect. Miss Miaowen is the most elegant girl in this pavilion. Such a refined person can only be matched with someone who is well-versed in immortal classics and full of knowledge, such as myself."

I am Wang Bozhou, the 36th generation direct descendant of the outer sect Wang family.

Li Yu looked completely numb.

Where did this stray dog ​​NPC come from? I've never even heard of it.

Qiu Xu, enraged, laughed. He quietly explained to Li Yu, "The Wang family of the outer sect is considered one of the aristocratic families. Their patriarch has the cultivation of the third realm, which is quite impressive. But there's no need to be afraid of them. If they knew my identity, they would immediately come to apologize."

Wang Bozhou continued his provocation: "You said you want to marry Miss Miaowen, so how about we make a bet? If you can really unlock ten rare treasures, I'll give you a spirit steed. If you can't, you lose 1000 contribution points to me, how about it?"

"You got a good deal. A spirit steed is priceless; it would cost at least 3000 contribution points to buy one."

Qiu Xu was so angry that he was about to show off his inner sect steward's badge when a hand grabbed him tightly.

Li Yu whispered, "Senior brother, if I win this bet, can you make him keep his word and really give us a spirit steed? We'll split the profits fifty-fifty."

Qiu Xu frowned: "You want to gamble? Why bother? This treasure is impossible to unlock; no one has ever succeeded in all these years."

"Trust me, senior brother."

"..." Qiu Xu never expected that the 1000 contribution points he had just regained today would be used as a stake to leave him again in the blink of an eye. The key point was that Li Yu was Qin Shengnu's junior brother, a future big shot. How could he dare refuse someone like that?

Is it really true that I am destined to be without a wife and will never find a Daoist partner in my lifetime?

Qiu Xu looked at Li Yu, hardened his heart, and gritted his teeth.

"Fine, take these 1000 points and gamble! If he loses, it's on me! If he loses, no one can save him. I don't need to lift a finger; the Wang family will come to apologize and return the spirit horse."

But could you tell me how confident you are first?

Li Yu held up one finger.

Qiu Xu's eyes widened: Just 10%? This...this...isn't this far too reckless! Just because someone's a person doesn't mean they can gamble with their feelings like that, does it?

Li Yu knew Qiu Xu had misunderstood; he was just teasing him. But it was still best to explain in this situation.

"Absolutely certain, senior brother. I'm 100% confident I can beat him."

Li Yu said loudly to Wang Bozhou next door, "Brother, my senior brother is extremely talented, so I won't let him gamble with you."

"Scared?"

"No, not at all. Let me, with my limited knowledge, try to see what difficulty lies in finding the rare treasures of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion."

It's still the same bet, but how about we change the stakes?

If I fail to clear the level, I'll give you 2000 contribution points. But if you lose, you'll give us two spirit steeds, how about that?"

Li Yu knew he couldn't possibly lose.

With Qiu Xu behind him, the other party couldn't possibly renege on their debt.

Things are really going to get better.
