Infiltrating the righteous path? Just another place to be a sycophant.

"Then there's only one left, and this person is both far away and right in front of you! Go and ask him!"

"who is it?"

Yu Wanqing had almost given up hope, but she still asked politely.

"Elder Lu Anlu."

Chapter 233 This cultivation technique must be carefully kept.

"Elder Lu?"

Upon hearing this name, Yu Wanqing was clearly taken aback, a reaction she hadn't shown before.

She shook her head decisively when she heard the names of the other people, but when it came to Lu An, she was taken aback.

There's an opportunity! Seize it!

Hua Tianyou's hope was instantly rekindled.

For both emotional and rational reasons, he did not want Yu Wanqing to lose her cultivation and start over. Not to mention that the demonic path was rampant, even demons were running around recklessly, and the righteous alliance was a bunch of scoundrels. It was really rare to find someone as serious as Yu Wanqing.

As for the others... it felt like they lived in two different worlds, which even made this healer, a doctor dedicated to saving lives, unable to bear it.

"But I don't know if Elder Lu is married... If he is, it would be presumptuous for me to ask him."

"I've also studied physiognomy and know a little about divination. Last time I looked at Elder Lu's face, although he has many romantic prospects, he definitely doesn't have a stable partner. His marriage is undecided! His marriage is undecided!"

"How could someone like Elder Lu possibly deduce his romantic affairs?"

Yu Wanqing was a little skeptical. She also knew a little about divination, which was one of the essential skills for cultivators. She could deduce the answers for anyone, but she had no clue about Lu An.

That's something we can't deduce at all.

Therefore, she didn't quite believe Hua Tianyou's claim that he could see the peach blossom luck in his face.

"I was able to see it in Elder Lu's face using the aura-reading technique I learned. He does have a lot of romantic luck, but his marriage is definitely not settled yet."

These words reassured Yu Wanqing.

"This pill can alleviate the problem in your body, but it should not be taken for a long time. Moreover, if you exert too much power, it may cause a temporary disorder in your cultivation."

"What do you mean?"

"After taking this pill, you need to reduce the number of times you use your cultivation power, unless you successfully engage in dual cultivation and suppress the problems in your body. I have a healing technique here; if you succeed, you can take a look."

Hua Tianyou took out a cultivation manual and handed it to Yu Wanqing.

Yu Wanqing took the cultivation manual and glanced at it, then quickly blushed.

Isn't this... one of those books? Why did you just give it to her like this?

"Dr. Hua, this book of yours is..."

"Patients should not avoid seeking medical treatment. Although the above content may be embarrassing, you should still read it carefully and prepare for this day."

Yu Wanqing, however, pretended not to understand: "For which day are you preparing?"

Hua Tianyou said without looking up, "This is the day we can cultivate together."

Yu Wanqing walked out of the Spirit Healing Hall with a blush on her face, attracting curious glances from the other disciples.

"Is that Sect Master Yu?"

"Yes, that's her."

"Why is she at the Spirit Healer's Hall, and why is her face so red?"

"I don't know, maybe she's sick? Is she seeing a doctor?"

Just as the group was discussing quietly, a voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Hey you guys at the door, what are you standing there for? Come on in."

The group looked up and saw Hua Tianyou, who had just finished treating Yu Wanqing. He was smiling kindly at them.

Hua Tianyou's smile is like springtime, instantly making people feel warm and happy.

Hua Tianyou, who looks quite handsome, has always been the male god of the female disciples of the Spirit Medicine Hall. However, he does not belong to the Yuan Tian Holy Sect, so they have little contact with him and no opportunity to make a move.

However, when female disciples from other sects heard that Hua Tianyou was coming, they would find an excuse to come and see him for treatment.

"Dr. Hua, you've finally arrived! Only you can cure my illness!"

"No, Dr. Hua, please see me first. Her old ailment is hopeless!"

"Dr. Hua, my heart hurts so much! I feel tightness in my chest! I feel panicked! Please treat me first! I can't take it anymore!"

Several female disciples pounced on Hua Tianyou like hungry wolves, instantly surrounding him. Hua Tianyou could only nod with a wry smile, saying, "Line up, one by one, one by one."

"Ah!"

On the other side, Lu An suddenly sneezed, then rubbed his nose, feeling somewhat bewildered.

"How can someone who has reached the Nascent Soul stage still catch a cold? That's really strange."

Lu An closed his eyes and continued his meditation.

As time passed, the various buildings on the peaks of Lu'an finally took on their original appearance and scale.

And it also has its own name.

"Meng Anshan? Junior Sister Xiang, what kind of name is that?"

The general contractor in charge of this project was taken aback when he saw the name Zhao Mengyuan gave.

What a strange name. Is it perhaps a place to sleep?

"Don't worry about the name, just do this: carve the name of this mountain on this stone pillar, understand?"

"And this highest point, where the cave is located, is Meng'an Peak, you know?"

Zhao Mengyuan efficiently assigned the task, leaving the dark-skinned senior brother, who resembled an African gorilla, scratching his head for a while, unsure of what to say.

He sensed something was wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.

"Then, Junior Sister Xiang, we still need to settle the payment for this project, otherwise we can't continue working, and the other brothers and sisters have run out of spirit stones."

This senior brother didn't object, but he did propose that he be paid a salary, since if he wasn't paid spirit stones, the other senior brothers wouldn't listen to him.

"That's no problem, I've always been very... very..."

Zhao Mengyuan reached out to take the money, but when she touched her pocket, it was empty.

I'm out of money... no, I should say I'm out of spirit stones.

Lu An has spent all the spirit stones he gave her.

"What's wrong, Junior Sister Xiang?"

"No...it's nothing. I might have put the spirit stones somewhere else. Let me look for them again."

"Oh... okay, Junior Sister Xiang..."

The dark-skinned senior brother nodded, but did not urge him. Instead, he turned around and quietly looked at the Dream Peak that he and his fellow disciples had built together.

Zhao Mengyuan started to panic after failing to find any spirit stones for a long time. Could it be that she really had no spirit stones left?

How should I give her the spirit stones? Did she bring any with her when she went out?

"Senior brother, can you wait a moment? Keep working, I'll pay you back with the spirit stones later!"

After searching for a long time and confirming that there were no spirit stones, Zhao Mengyuan put on a pitiful look, thinking that she could let them do the work first.

"Junior Sister Xiang, you're not out of spirit stones, are you? If you're out of spirit stones, it'll be difficult to continue working!"

"Senior brother, it's just a little bit late. I'll go find Master to make it up to you right away! You know, my Master is Elder Lu An! He wouldn't owe you anything!"

"It is precisely because of Elder Lu that we need to be wary. How many elders have used this name to freeload off our hard work without paying us? So, junior sister, don't try that trick on me."

"Senior brother, why do you say that? It's just a little later, not that we won't give it to you!"

"Junior sister, there's no room for negotiation. We won't start construction until we see spirit stones!" The dark-skinned senior brother shouted into the communication token in his hand, "Everyone stop working! Await my instructions! Stop working immediately!"

At his command, Zhao Mengyuan saw the cultivators who were still busy in the distance stop, and the sounds of countless construction projects also quieted down.

Zhao Mengyuan put on a pitiful look: "Senior brother, don't be like that!"

The dark-skinned senior brother refused, saying, "I'm sorry, junior sister, I only recognize spirit stones, not people! And don't bring up the elders, the sect leader still owes us money for the project!"

So although this dark-skinned senior brother looks honest on the surface, he is not easy to fool. Even though Zhao Mengyuan begged him in every way, he simply wouldn't budge, let alone agree, and had no intention of continuing the work.

In short, the attitude is very clear: no work can start without spirit stones, and mentioning anyone's name won't help. I've played this trick many times.

Just as Zhao Mengyuan was wondering what to do, a beautiful figure suddenly landed not far from her.

She turned her head and saw that familiar yet annoying figure, Yu Wanqing.

"How did this guy get here?"

Zhao Mengyuan was taken aback when she saw who it was.

Yu Wanqing walked straight over and asked, "Hello, is Elder Lu here?"

Chapter 234 Why did you pay for me?

Zhao Mengyuan's tone was a bit cold: "Elder Lu? Sect Master Yu, you're looking for Elder Lu?"

Zhao Mengyuan didn't really like Yu Wanqing, since they were enemies, but now they had no choice but to be together.

"Yes, Wanqiu, do you know where your master is?"

"I don't know, did they go out?" Zhao Mengyuan replied coldly.

"Don't know? Really don't know?" Yu Wanqing asked, still unwilling to give up, her tone becoming more forceful.

"I really don't know... Sect Master Yu," Zhao Mengyuan said, trying to keep her tone under control.

"Hey, what are you doing here? What's going on here...?"

Yu Wanqing didn't mind, but instead noticed the dark-skinned guy next to her.

Yu Wanqing glanced at him twice and immediately recognized him: "You're Wang Mengzi from Zhenshi Peak? You look so familiar!"

Wang Mengzi nodded, then bowed and said, "Greetings, Sect Master Yu, I am your disciple!"

Looking at the half-built house, Yu Wanqing asked, "Did you build this house on the peak?"

“Yes, this is Elder Lu’s mountain, but Junior Sister Xiang is in charge of it now. I was invited by Junior Sister Xiang to do the work.” Wang Mengzi adjusted his yellow hat and nodded.

These are safety helmets issued by the sect. They are made of high-quality yellow steel, making them very sturdy and reliable. The Yuan Tian Sheng Sect has a rule that all construction units must wear these helmets.

This regulation was issued by the former Grand Elder of Zhenshi Peak, because he was in this line of work. Basically, all the construction and building work of the Yuantian Sacred Sect was handled by Zhenshi Peak.

At the same time, Zhenshi Peak is also the largest baijiu (white liquor) consumption peak in the Yuantian Sacred Sect.

A while back, when cave dwellings were being built everywhere, Zhenshi Peak received the most orders and had the most disciples.

In light of this, some people have even joked that Zhenshi Peak could be established as a separate sect.

“Meng Anfeng? Is that Elder Lu An’s name?” Yu Wanqing read aloud the nameplate on the ground in front of the door.

“No, it was designed by Junior Sister herself, but she said it was approved by Elder Lu,” Wang Mengzi said sincerely.

“Master said that the task of building this peak has been entrusted to me in every aspect, so naturally I am the one who named it.” Zhao Mengyuan raised her head with a proud air, looking like she was asserting her dominance.

"Then why have you stopped work now?" Yu Wanqing asked after scanning the area for a while.

"Because Junior Sister Xiang doesn't have any spirit stones to pay us anymore. As you know, Sect Master Yu, it's difficult to collect payments right now. Without a stable source of income, we dare not continue. After all, we still have to pay for the materials ourselves, and the other brothers also need spirit stones to eat." Before Zhao Mengyuan could answer, Wang Mengzi spoke up first.

Suppressing her anger, Zhao Mengyuan replied, "I just said I'd do it first and pay later. How could I not pay? Senior Brother Wang, don't make it sound like I want you to work for me for free."

“Junior Sister Xiang, I’m not targeting you personally, it’s just that there are just too many people in our mountain peak who owe us money. The IOUs for these debts are piled up like a mountain, and we’ve even found a small house to store them all,” Wang Mengzi said helplessly.

After listening, Yu Wanqing nodded in deep agreement.

Zhenshi Peak took on many projects, but in the end, they couldn't settle the payments, which forced the people of Zhenshi Peak to leave and seek better opportunities elsewhere.

The elders of Zhenshi Peak also pretended to be dead, after all, they not only owed a lot of money, but also owed a lot of money to others.

By day, he transforms into a debt-collecting maniac; by night, he seals himself in a coffin and pretends to be dead. It is said that Elder Zhenshifeng even built many tombs for himself, each containing numerous coffins. Once he lies down inside, no one can find him.

This is a special method for avoiding debts developed by Elder Zhenshifeng.

"I will give it to you, but it's a little difficult. You wait, I'll go now..." Zhao Mengyuan was so anxious that she wanted to go find Lu An, and turned to leave.
