I Have An Infinite Cultivation Resource
Chapter 66: Hidden Dragon
Enough—more than enough.
Wu Tong was very satisfied.
He was only at the Foundation Establishment realm, and his plan to enter the secret realm had been secretly arranged with his master. He had no way to bring along a Golden Core cultivator for protection. Moreover, even if he could, those Golden Core cultivators might not be trustworthy—once they discovered the ancient maps, who could guarantee they wouldn't develop ulterior motives?
But if he went together with Han Tian, things would be much simpler.
Han Tian was a sword cultivator, stronger than ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators. Below the Golden Core realm, with Han Tian around, no one could harm him. Even if they were unlucky enough to be targeted by Dongfang Bubai, Han Tian could hold her off long enough for him to call for help.
And in the end, even if Han Tian discovered the ancient maps, it wouldn't matter—he was only at the Foundation Establishment. Once his master dealt with Dongfang Bubai, taking care of a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator would be effortless.
"Senior Brother Han, it's settled. I'll contact you when the time comes, and we'll act together!" Wu Tong said. Then he looked toward the trading hall's counter and let out a surprised "Huh?"
"What's going on? Why are there so few storage artifacts today?"
Glancing at Han Tian beside him, Wu Tong said no more. He pointed at the remaining storage artifacts.
"I'll take them all. Put it on my tab. How many spirit stones in total? I'll have disciples from Deep Literary Pavilion deliver them later."
With a Nascent Soul grandfather backing him, the staff naturally recognized him. The clerk didn't hesitate and quickly packed up the remaining items.
"There are five storage rings in total. No need for spirit stones, Venerable Wu still has talismans on consignment that haven't been settled yet. We'll deduct it from there."
"Alright."
Wu Tong didn't waste time. He kept four for himself and tossed one to Han Tian.
"Senior Brother Han, this is for you. Remember to fill it up."
After saying that, Wu Tong turned and left confidently—he still had something else to do.
Han Tian caught the storage ring and thanked him loudly. Only after Wu Tong had left did he quietly slip the ring into his pocket.
Inside that pocket, there were already ten storage artifacts he had just purchased.
. ..
After leaving the trading hall, Wu Tong immediately headed to the outer sect. He walked all the way to Lu You's residence before stopping and knocking on the door.
Knock, knock, knock.
Creak— The door opened.
It was Lu Xiao'e.
Wu Tong smiled arrogantly, straightened his chest, and met Lu Xiao'e's gaze directly.
Hmph. So you're Dongfang Bubai? I already know your identity. Now you're in the open, and I'm in the shadows. With my outer sect identity, even if you're at the Golden Core realm, you still have to call me "Senior Brother."
After adjusting his mindset, Wu Tong asked naturally:
"Where's Lu You? By order of the elders, I still need to ask about the details of Zhou Lei taking bribes."
At that moment, Lu You was in a secret chamber, absorbing spirit stones to recover his spiritual energy.
Releasing twenty sword cores in succession—even though most of the energy came from Zhou Lei himself—had still cost Lu You quite a bit.
After Zhou Lei's head had been severed, Lu You's puppet technique had lost its effect. Although this ambush had failed to kill a Golden Core cultivator, it had given Lu You a general understanding of their strength.
"I must rapidly improve my cultivation level."
Even unleashing sword techniques with nineteen sword cores couldn't match a casual strike from a Golden Core cultivator's flying sword. Even his carefully calculated final sneak attack had been blocked.
It made Lu You deeply realize the importance of cultivation realm.
Hearing someone downstairs mention his name, Lu You quickly tidied up the secret chamber and stepped out.
"Senior Brother, I am Lu You."
Seeing that the visitor was Wu Tong, Lu You became cautious. With a thought, four sword cores slipped from the small cauldron into the inner pocket of his sleeve.
"Mm. Come with me."
Wu Tong forced himself not to look at Lu Xiao'e, afraid that the more he looked, the more mistakes he might make. Once Lu You came out, he gestured for him to follow and turned to leave.
They walked all the way to the Human district before Wu Tong finally stopped. He took out a soundproof talisman from his robes, activated it, and then cleared his throat.
"Lu You… a great opportunity has come. Your senior brother here is about to grant you a tremendous fortune."
The moment Wu Tong took out the talisman, Lu You almost activated the four sword cores.
Seeing the fluctuation in Lu You's spiritual energy, a trace of disdain flashed in Wu Tong's eyes.
As expected, a useless waste. Just hearing the words "great opportunity" is enough to excite him like this. If he didn't live next door to Dongfang Bubai, I wouldn't even bother looking at someone like him.
"Senior Brother, what kind of talisman did you just use?"
Seeing that Wu Tong had no killing intent, Lu You relaxed. Compared to the "opportunity," he was more interested in the talisman Wu Tong had just used—he had never seen anything like it before.
"The opportunity is— what? The talisman?" Wu Tong was about to continue when he realized what Lu You was asking. "This is a soundproof talisman, developed by Venerable Wu Hao. Once activated, all sound is confined between you and me. Even if outsiders use secret techniques, they won't be able to hear what we're saying."
As he spoke, Wu Tong took out another one and tossed it to Lu You.
"No wonder you joined the Deep Literary Pavilion—you're actually interested in talismans. Take this one and study it first. Hmph, the opportunity I'm about to give you is worth a hundred times more than this talisman."
"Senior Brother, may I ask what kind of opportunity it is?"
Lu You placed the soundproof talisman into his robes—but with a thought, he had already stored it inside the small cauldron.
"I want you to monitor Lu Xiao'e for me. Report every move she makes each day. As long as you do well, I can reward you with talismans developed by Venerable Wu as well as cultivation-enhancing pills."
Wu Tong was secretly pleased.
So Lu You is a talisman fanatic, that's even better. The more obsessed he is, the easier he'll be to control. In the entire Verdant Cloud Sect, no one surpasses my grandfather in talisman-making.
Afraid that Lu You's behavior might arouse Dongfang Bubai's suspicion, Wu Tong quickly added:
"My master is currently seeking a Dao companion and has a good impression of Lu Xiao'e. If the information you provide helps my master and Lu Xiao'e become a pair, just imagine the kind of backing you'll have within the sect."
A Golden Core elder taking a liking to an outer disciple at the Qi Refining realm, preparing to gather her preferences and pursue her—
Wu Tong felt quite proud of his excuse.
Perfect. This way, I can plant a spy right beside Dongfang Bubai while ensuring my own safety. Even if Lu You is exposed, Lu Xiao'e will blame Huo Chuan—not me.
Lu You looked at Wu Tong with a complicated expression. Then he took the soundproof talisman back out and returned it.
"Senior Brother, I must decline. I am merely a Qi Refining cultivator—I wouldn't dare involve myself in conflicts at the Golden Core level. If you won't speak honestly and instead try to brush me off with such a poor excuse, I can only pretend I never heard any of this."
Wu Tong froze like a wooden chicken.
He saw through it instantly?
"Haha… hahaha…" Wu Tong forced a dry laugh and tried to recover.
"Junior Brother, that was just a test. If you were foolish enough to believe such an excuse, how could I entrust this matter to you?"
"Junior Brother, you're clever—so this task can only be handled by you."
To cover his embarrassment, Wu Tong straightened his expression and said seriously:
"Do you know of Dongfang Bubai?"
"Dongfang Bubai?"
Lu You finally became serious. He stared at Wu Tong and asked, "Senior Brother, could you be more specific?"
Inside Lu You's robes, lightning talismans, sword cores, and teleportation talismans were all ready.
Even Evil Eye had become alert, frantically absorbing the cultivation origin blood inside the small cauldron, ready to manifest Hell Avatar at any moment.
"We have already discovered Dongfang Bubai's true identity—she is your roommate, Lu Xiao'e!"
Wu Tong was extremely satisfied with Lu You's reaction.
Shocked, aren't you? Afraid? Never expected it, did you? Your roommate is Dongfang Bubai—the one who has been killing Verdant Cloud Sect disciples. Once she finds out you know her identity, you'll be dead. Other than obeying me, you have no way to survive.
Lu You: "!!?"
Evil Eye: "..."
