Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 700

Chapter 700: Chapter 34: Too Many Archives Leads to Confusion Chapter 700 -34: Too Many Archives Leads to Confusion Although she harbored doubts in her heart, Shi Liuli didn’t take them to heart.

Even if her husband harbored secrets, wasn’t he still her husband?

She just continued doing what she should do, handling the miscellaneous affairs of the Heavenly Craft Workshop, assisting Luo Yan by thinking ahead and keeping busy.

In her spare time, whenever she found a moment, she would occasionally calculate her husband’s origins.

…Alright, she did care a bit after all.

Luo Yan himself didn’t know how many crises Ah Jing had averted on his behalf.

Due to his cultivation bottleneck, he could not break through, so he spent every day delving into the study of formations, researching how to combat others using formations.

...

Modern formations are complex systems, while ancient formations are simple and integrated; those who enter the path must start with modern formations for convenience and use ancient formations as the ultimate goal, to assimilate into their own use.

Although Elder Shi Ding never mentioned this, the scripture scrolls in his study recorded it clearly, surely a learning content for the Golden Core Realm.

Once he reached the Nascent Soul Realm, he could fully focus on ancient formations.

Apart from him, the rest of them were certainly not idling either.

Third Senior Sister Liang Ruohua’s cultivation progress wasn’t fast, but she had recently made a breakthrough in the art of seal crafting, and the magic artifacts she refined had been moved up a grade within the internal evaluation of Yuqing View.

His wife Shi Liuli’s sword casting technique was still improving.

Although she still couldn’t outperform the eldest senior brother Linghu Chu (after all, there was a gap in their cultivation realms), she was doing quite well in the niche market-receiving high praise among loose cultivators and small sects.

Junior Sister Shi Qing was still at the entry level and not worth mentioning for the moment.

Recently, Luo Yan had been evaluating and felt he had some shortcomings in the area of sound-based magic artifacts, considering whether he should take in another disciple in this field to cultivate.

Penglai Yuqing View truly lived up to its reputation as an economically powerful sect; although it had once been besieged and looted by the Demon Cult, it had long since fully repaired all the damage.

However, the atmosphere within the sect had suddenly become tense lately, with everyone on edge as if fearing the Demon Cult was about to make a move.

Perhaps only Luo Yan knew that this was because the news from the Golden Que Secret Realm had arrived.

On reflection, Qiu Changtian had gained a position in the Golden Que, and Kunlun had given him an opportunity to select treasures from Fenbao Rock; Ling Yunpo had gained a position in the Golden Que, and Shushan had sent Senior Sister An in…

This Shushan, it seems they couldn’t wait even a minute longer!

It was precisely because he knew the attitude of those in power was so important that Luo Yan had been reporting to Master of Xuandu and Wan Xiang Immortal every day recently, bringing only good news and not the bad.

Today he reported great progress in the repair of the great formation, tomorrow he would announce huge success in the innovative plan for the formation…

Although both were aware that he was trying to curry favor, who could resist genuine respect from a Second Grade Golden Core True Person?

Instantly, their favorable impressions of him increased greatly.

And so, the day to head for the Golden Que finally arrived.

The rules for selecting people in Penglai were simple and, compared to Kunlun and Shushan, didn’t involve as many elements of power struggle.

Master Jingyun Luo Yan was a Second Grade Golden Core and also the winner of the last White Jade Capital title, so he was certain to take up a spot.

Master Dong You Shi Liuli, also a Second Grade Golden Core and winner of the White Jade Capital title, and adept in Art Calculation, was certain to take up a position as well.

Two Second Grade Golden Cores!

When has Penglai ever had such an abundance of talent?

Elder Shi Ding, though his own talent for cultivation was mediocre, had an outstanding ability to nurture disciples…

It was just unfortunate that he met an untimely demise; otherwise, with two disciples of Second Grade Golden Core in this place, even Master of Xuandu would have considered sharing some of his authority with him, heh.

In any case, without their master, the two Second Grade Golden Core True Persons were destined not to become tools in internal sectarian struggles for power and profit, and the fact that the Heavenly Craft Workshop was weak ensured that they would inevitably seek help from the higher-ups of the sect.

In such a circumstance, Master of Xuandu had no displeasure at all toward the two, so much so that he called for the most powerful Golden Core True Person from Yuqing View at the moment-Tian Lan, telling her that while she might not obtain a position for the trip to the Golden Que, she must ensure the safety of Master Jingyun and Master Dong You.

It was strange, really, how the cultivators of Kunlun and Shushan often engaged in covert and overt strife for various powers, positions, and reputations, yet Penglai cultivators often cared less for such matters.

If it weren’t for the task assigned by Master of Xuandu, Tian Lan True Person would not have even considered going…

she still had several elixir furnaces at home that required refinement.

Before departure, there was another round of exhortations from the Sect Leader.

Even though Luo Yan was eager to ingratiate himself, he couldn’t stand listening to the Sect Leader’s lectures for three whole rounds anymore.

He could only maintain a constant attentive smile, while slowly playing music in his mind.

Finally, the lecture ended, and he immediately acted “greatly inspired,” so much so that even Shi Liuli next to him couldn’t stand it and quietly gave him a nudge.

The three of them followed the Master of Xuandu to Shushan, and then took a treasure boat together to Xihua Peak.

On the way, Xu Yinglian inevitably clashed with An Zhisu again.

By this time, Luo Yan had already attained a state of serene detachment and said lazily:

“Liuli, go over and intervene, otherwise it won’t be good if they keep arguing like this.”

“Alright.” Shi Liuli nodded, but she was secretly puzzled.

Wasn’t her husband the type to ignore everything on a daily basis?

?????.??

Why was he suddenly showing concern for the conflict between Master Qiong Ying and Jiao Xiao True Person?

Odd as it was, she still did as told and managed to persuade An Zhisu away with her eloquence.

Thus, the confrontation was finally quelled, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Shi Liuli gracefully returned to Luo Yan’s side and suddenly asked:

“Husband, what do you think of Jiao Xiao True Person?”

“What do you mean by ‘what do I think’?” Luo Yan immediately became alert.

“I mean your first impression of her,” Shi Liuli asked casually.

Hearing that she seemed to be just making light conversation, Luo Yan cautiously replied:

“Well, I’ve heard she’s the only sword immortal in the Golden Core Realm of Shushan who has forged a Second Grade Golden Core, so I suppose she must be quite powerful.”

“Powerful, is she?” Shi Liuli pondered, “I originally thought she was arrogant and unapproachable, but after speaking with her just now, I realize she is actually too upright and not sufficiently tactful.”

Too upright: applying this term to Senior Sister An left Luo Yan somewhat at a loss for words.

“Is that so?” He then feigned ignorance and burst out laughing.

“And what about Master Qiong Ying?” Shi Liuli asked curiously, “The one who was arguing with her.”

“Master Qiong Ying…” Luo Yan spoke slowly, “Is she the one who explored the ruins of the Donghua Sect with you last time?”

“That’s right,” Shi Liuli said leisurely, “What do you think of Master Qiong Ying, husband?”

“Well, I’ve heard she’s from the Xu Family of Southern Heaven and has inherited Phoenix True Blood, bearing the elegant title of ‘Phoenix Immortal’ within Kunlun,” Luo Yan chose his words carefully, speaking cautiously, “So I suppose she is also a powerful figure who’s no less formidable than Jiao Xiao True Person.”

“Why are you being so cautious with your words, husband?” Shi Liuli giggled behind her hand, “I’m just making small talk; I’m not jealous.”

“Cough cough, about female cultivators from other sects, I shouldn’t comment too much,” Luo Yan was feeling increasingly uneasy, unable to pinpoint the problem, and could only offer a nervous laugh.

Seeing him trying to please her only added to Shi Liuli’s suspicions.

Setting everything else aside, her husband had previously crossed swords with Jiao Xiao True Person during the great competition at the White Jade Capital.

So why did he now seem like he didn’t recognize her?

It seems to be an act.

But why would he act like this?
