Ji Lengyue watched Chen Jiuyang quietly for a while before turning and slowly returning downstairs. Standing at the bookstore entrance, she could directly see the headquarters of the Six Doors, feeling inexplicably relaxed and comfortable.
"I'll come find him again tomorrow."
"?" Lin Yuexian, seeing the change in Ji Lengyue from before and after, didn't know what had happened to her.
Chen Jiuyang knew Ji Lengyue had come, but he was in the process of breaking through to the late stage of the Divine Transformation realm and couldn't stop his cultivation to respond to her.
The immortal path was not like the martial path; it wasn't as natural and unrestrained.
His current strength was still too weak, far from being able to scheme against the major forbidden zones.
Until he reached that point, he had to lie low as much as possible.
Internally, he pondered whether he should go to the Spirit Realm once his cultivation reached a higher level.
Previously, he had only heard Qin Shu Jian and others talk about how the major forbidden zones, including the Chongming Sea, were pieces of land severed from the Spirit Realm and used as forbidden zones, with the depths of the forbidden zones being the entrance to the Spirit Realm.
The Spirit Realm was also on the thirty-third layer of heaven, below the Immortal Realm.
If he wanted to scheme against the major forbidden zones, he didn't necessarily have to start from the mortal world; perhaps the Spirit Realm would also work.
After breaking through to the late stage of Divine Transformation, it would be time to see Qin Rouyu and the Yan Yu Sect established by the Chen family of Shu Mountain.
His few confidantes quarreled with each other and didn't listen to his arrangements at all, yet they were the ones he deeply loved, and he couldn't force them to do anything.
It was also time to see Chen Biandao.
In this life, since he was walking the immortal path, there was no need to rush many things.
It wasn't until the next day that Chen Jiuyang's aura surged slightly. A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes: "In this life, without a special physique, cultivation still needs to be done gradually..."
"To break through to the Great Perfection of the Divine Transformation realm, it's estimated to take another three to five months... This progress is faster than anticipated..."
While contemplating, he took out a bottle of pills and consumed them.
His cultivation progress was already astonishing.
He sensed with his divine sense that the girl Yue Xian was sleeping in a room on the third floor. Chen Jiuyang went downstairs and opened the glass door of the bookstore.
At his level of cultivation, he had long since achieved abstinence from grains and no longer needed to eat to maintain his energy consumption.
The wind in early October still carried a hint of late summer, a cool breeze with a touch of warmth, but the signs of bleakness were already beginning to appear.
Sitting at the counter, Chen Jiuyang picked up a book and began to read.
The ruins left by Chunyang also contained many books, which were perfect for Chen Jiuyang to gain more information.
Outside the bookstore, the aura of human life surged, flowing endlessly. Students on their National Day holiday, dressed exquisitely, were out shopping.
Chen Jiuyang hadn't seen such a harmonious scene in many years.
"It's so good..."
He couldn't help but sigh.
Not long after, around eight or nine o'clock, Ji Lengyue drove a Porsche and parked in front of the bookstore.
With Ji Lengyue's salary, she couldn't afford this car; it was a gift from Chen Jiuyang a year or two ago.
This was why Chen Jiuyang wasn't in a hurry about his confidantes. Although his confidantes didn't get along when they met, they accepted the gifts Chen Jiuyang gave them one by one and used them often. Yet, they didn't explicitly agree to his advances and often argued with him, with both sides trying to wear down the other.
This was an unspoken understanding.
Ji Lengyue got out of the car and saw Chen Jiuyang at the counter. She walked over with the click-clack of her high heels.
"Lengyue, you're a rare visitor," Chen Jiuyang closed the book, a smile on his face.
Ji Lengyue looked at him and said, "Thank you for the protective measures you gave me before."
"Why are you thanking me?" Chen Jiuyang smiled and asked, "Who did you encounter yesterday?"
Ji Lengyue replied, "It was the Lotus Sect, but I don't know who specifically."
"Oh, the Lotus Sect," Chen Jiuyang said, "Don't get involved with the Lotus Sect's affairs anymore. Don't touch anything related to the Lotus Sect, be careful not to get into trouble."
He said this, but he had likely already offended the Mother of Lotus Birth, and if this old dog held a grudge, she might retaliate against Ji Lengyue later.
He would have to go find Ming Huatong and arrange a meeting with the Mother of Lotus Birth.
"Why?" Ji Lengyue's expression was puzzled. "Is the Lotus Sect that dangerous?"
"It is indeed that dangerous..." Chen Jiuyang nodded solemnly. "Within the Lotus Sect, there is only one old monster who can activate the protective blade I left for you."
"And that old monster's strength is too great. Currently, in this world, there is no one who can truly kill her..."
Ji Lengyue's expression was confused. "Is this person truly that terrifying? Our Dragon Country has many powerful individuals, and they still can't deal with this person?"
Chen Jiuyang raised his hand to signal her to calm down and said, "Lengyue, just listen to me. Don't get involved with the Lotus Sect's affairs. I'll talk to the people from the Lotus Sect later and ask them not to trouble you in the future."
"The terror of the Lotus Sect is far beyond your imagination."
This girl Ji Lengyue knew too little.
Currently, the Dragon Country had over a hundred Kings, and the Immortal Alliance had revived. Although it seemed revived and extremely powerful, there were endless troubles within.
"Alright..." Ji Lengyue's heart wavered upon hearing Chen Jiuyang say this.
"It's good that you came. Let's go, I have something to do today and need to see Rouyu." Chen Jiuyang didn't hide anything and directly told Ji Lengyue that he was going to see Qin Rouyu.
Qin Rouyu's talent was not bad. In his previous life, she was directly chosen as a personal disciple by the five great sacred lands. In this life, she inexplicably joined the Yan Yu Sect.
The Chen family of Shu Mountain used them as tools to scout for prodigies, and the Chen family of Shu Mountain also had many internal disputes.
"Rouyu? Qin Rouyu?" Ji Lengyue murmured a few times. "Alright, I haven't met her yet."
Ji Lengyue had met Yao Zixuan and Lin Yuexian, but she hadn't met Qin Rouyu and Qiu Yihan yet.
However, she knew that Chen Jiuyang had five or six confidantes in total.
What happened yesterday had changed her mindset somewhat. She was no longer so resistant to matters between men and women, and today she agreed to go with Chen Jiuyang to meet her.
They drove to a villa area and parked in front of a villa.
With Qin Rouyu's income, she naturally couldn't afford a villa; this money was given by Chen Jiuyang.
"Knock, knock!"
Chen Jiuyang knocked on the door. Not long after, Qin Rouyu came to open the door. Seeing Chen Jiuyang outside, her eyes showed surprise, and then she giggled charmingly, "Oh, you're finally willing to leave home and come here to see your little canary."
Qin Rouyu referred to herself as Chen Jiuyang's kept canary in front of Chen Jiuyang and Ji Lengyue. Hearing this, Ji Lengyue's gaze towards Chen Jiuyang immediately turned cold.
"Haven't seen you for a few months, and you're here to cause trouble for me already," Chen Jiuyang went up and put his arm around Qin Rouyu's waist, hitting her buttocks heavily.
