Chapter 336: 158: Unprecedented Generous Task Rewards [Extra for 1400 Monthly Tickets]
Donggong Ming Yue flailed her arms and legs, very dissatisfied, “Wah wah wah! Despicable Senior Sister! You’re doing this to me again!”
Liu Ningshuang glanced at Donggong Ming Yue, and a thread of chill dispersed. Donggong Ming Yue stiffened, not daring to say much lest she be frozen by Liu Ningshuang again, like last time. She only dared to grumble in her heart.
Liu Ningshuang looked at Lu Yi and smiled lightly, “It’s good that you’re back. We were worried when we heard that a Great Mahayana ancestor ambushed you.”
Lu Yi smiled, “Rest assured, haven’t I returned safely?”
Liu Ningshuang nodded slightly and smiled, “Tell me about the things that have happened outside these days.”
Donggong Ming Yue’s eyes also sparkled, looking at Lu Yi.
After all, Qingzhou had been so chaotic these days, they hadn’t ventured out at all.
Laughing, Lu Yi nodded and took Liu Ningshuang and Donggong Ming Yue back to the Cave Mansion where he brought out some fine wine. The three of them drank and chatted, with Lu Yi sharing some of his recent experiences.
As the Outer Sect was in disarray, most of what he had to say was not good, causing Liu Ningshuang and Donggong Ming Yue to frown.
Lu Yi, however, did not mention the matters of Dual Cultivation; he felt it might be better to discuss it separately.
That was an experience he had learned from Yun Xi, considering how each time Yun Xi visited, the relationship between them did not progress much. But it was after spending time alone with Yun Xi that substantial progress was made.
Lu Yi thought it would be better to discuss it when he was alone with his Senior Sister and Junior Sister.
While they chatted and drank, they detailed many matters, drinking quite a bit.
Eventually, all three drank quite a lot and leaned on each other, falling asleep for the night.
The next day, when Lu Yi woke up, he felt heavy and a fragrant aroma hit his nose.
He looked down to see Liu Ningshuang resting against his chest and Donggong Ming Yue clinging to his thigh, her slender, fair legs resting on his neck.
Lu Yi looked down and twitched the corner of his mouth.
“Hm? What’s this?” Donggong Ming Yue, still groggy, felt something odd in her hand and gave it a squeeze.
Lu Yi stiffened even more, his entire body going numb.
The commotion was too much, waking Liu Ningshuang and Donggong Ming Yue completely.
Both of them opened their eyes, and seeing where Donggong Ming Yue’s hand was placed, their expressions froze.
Even the usually composed Liu Ningshuang’s face flushed with a red hue.
Not to mention Donggong Ming Yue.
Donggong Ming Yue’s face turned scarlet, and she screamed, then transformed into a bolt of Thunder Light and dashed out of Lu Yi’s Cave Mansion.
Liu Ningshuang sat up, her black hair cascading down like a waterfall, her jade-like arms and slender legs partially visible due to her disheveled clothes.
Her face was tinted with a touch of red as she looked at Lu Yi, murmuring softly, “Junior Brother, how can your mind be filled with such thoughts?”
Lu Yi, looking innocent, defended himself, “It wasn’t my fault, it’s a natural morning reaction!”
Liu Ningshuang huffed softly as she rose to her feet, saying, “I’m going back to cultivate.”
She also disappeared on the spot.
Lu Yi looked down for a moment, sighing helplessly; it truly wasn’t his fault.
As the beautiful ladies departed, Lu Yi closed the Cave Mansion and entered the Cultivation Room.
He was somewhat delighted as he began to inventory the gains from his trip.
There were too many tasks, and Lu Yi had not even accepted tasks outside, planning to take them up after his return.
Tasks
Construct a Sect Protection Array for Ten Thousand Flowers Sect (completed)
Construct a Sect Protection Array for Cold Winter Valley (completed)
Construct a Sect Protection Array for Wenjian Manor (completed)
Kill a strong cultivator of the Primordial Yang Sect (completed)
Kill a Unification Great Power of the Qin Family and Forget River Valley (completed)
Escape the blockade imposed by the three sects of the Primordial Yang Sect, the Qin Family, and Forget River Valley (completed)
Escape from the hands of a Great Mahayana cultivator of the Primordial Yang Sect (completed)
These tasks were the largest, with the most generous rewards.
The first three tasks involved helping three sects construct Sect Protection Arrays, with very generous rewards.
They include “Black Tortoise Killing Array,” “Vermilion Bird Kill Array,” and “Nine Swords Killing Array,” all of them Unification Realm Great Arrays.
If he were to gather the White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Azure Dragon’s Four Symbols Kill Arrays, they could merge into a terrifying Great Mahayana Realm Great Array, the Four Symbols Kill Formation.
Lu Yi had already learned the White Tiger Killing Formation earlier, and he could acquire the Azure Dragon Killing Formation by completing the Sect Protection Array for his own sect.
In all, Lu Yi had almost acquired a Great Mahayana Realm Four Symbols Killing Formation.
With the Four Symbols Kill Formation, coupled with the Heavenly Array Map, Lu Yi’s strength would significantly increase. He would then be able to set up a Great Mahayana Killing Array. Even if facing a Great Mahayana cultivator, he wouldn’t necessarily have to flee; he could choose to fight directly.
Of course, whether he could withstand such a fight was another matter.
Besides the killing arrays, he also gained insights into Array Tao.@@novelbin@@
As Lu Yi chose to accept the tasks, a booming sound echoed in his mind.
It seemed as if the universe of stars unfolded before him, with truths of heaven and earth emerging in the form of Array Patterns, slowly being outlined.
The Array Patterns were complex and widespread across the universe, carrying ineffable and bizarre mysteries.
In Lu Yi’s Dantian, Tao Me emitted Tao Sound, and Seven-colored Mist flowed, resonating like the sound of heaven and earth within Lu Yi’s body.
In Lu Yi’s Spirit Sea, his golden spirit boiled, minutely tracing the changes of the universe, outlining various Mysterious Array Patterns.
Lu Yi felt his understanding of the truths of heaven and earth rapidly improving. The limits of Array Tao that he had previously mastered seemed to have found a new direction.
