Master of Strange Dao
Chapter 64 - 52: The Initial Vision
"Cece, you said last time you were handling some matters in Dazhen. It happens that our family business over there has encountered some issues, and Uncle Fu needs to go there to deal with them.
Where are you now? If it's not too far, I'll have Uncle Fu bring you some snacks.
Oh, Uncle Fu mentioned that the gift you sent last time really helped him a lot, and he wants to thank you.
It's the gift you gave me last time. I shared a bit with Uncle Fu.
Uncle Fu said it doesn't matter how far it is. Since Cece and your young master like it, he definitely needs to bring a lot more.
Before, with the Communication Flying Sword, we couldn't bring much. This time is a great opportunity to bring more."
After reading Gu Tianxin's letter, Cece handed it to Yu Ziqing, then naturally walked to Yu Ziqing's back and gently massaged his temples.
Every time Yu Ziqing used sedative as meals, this would happen. Even though Wu Shuangge was there to watch, to help Yu Ziqing detoxify immediately after experiments or battles, the damage caused by the sedative would not disappear just because the toxins were expelled.
It was only because Yu Ziqing was undergoing Body Cultivation and had already opened all the Death orifices and strange orifices, with high resistance and high resilience inside and out, plus Refining God, that he could withstand severe distortion of the five senses and an immediate surge in inspiration in a short period of time.
Unfortunately, this method could only be used as a trump card at this stage; the aftereffects were significant, and excessive use might cause irreversible damage.
Moreover, only three sacks of the sedative were left in stock. Before Yang could cultivate the Jinlan Mushroom again, these were the last special Jinlan sedatives in the world, which made Yu Ziqing feel very insecure.
After all, in his plan, before the battle, the Despair Abyss would be unfolded, along with a man-made sedative domain, maximizing the home-field advantage.
If it weren't for Wu Shuangge's Magical Treasure, whose power couldn't be controlled finely, Yu Ziqing would have even considered adding another layer.
Yu Ziqing eyed the letter and was a bit surprised.
"Hey, that was a quick reaction. I didn't expect the one coming to be Uncle Fu."
Yu Ziqing only presented a conclusion, without evidence, without clues, and yet they believed it.
In such a short time, it could only mean one thing: the person making decisions would see the information Su Li sent at the same time they saw the letter, which only had a conclusion.
Based on the non-secretive operations of the Shadow Department that Su Li had introduced, along with the rough power divisions within and outside the court of the Dali Dynasty,
Yu Ziqing had roughly speculated who was behind Gu Tianxin and Uncle Fu.
It was either the Emperor Li of Dali or the Eastern Palace of Dali.
If it weren't one of these two, it would be impossible to see potentially significant information at first sight, make such quick decisions, and then send at least a Seventh Tier Great Cultivator.
This was almost as swift as the actions of the Shadow Department.
From the ambush to receiving the letter was just a matter of moments.
Cece had met Uncle Fu before and felt a subtle excess of strength, indicating that no matter what path his cultivation followed, he was definitely not below the Seventh Tier.
In the path of Cultivation, real groundbreaking changes typically started from the Sixth Tier to the Seventh Tier, each tier more challenging, each having a qualitative change.
Beyond this point, one could be called a Great Cultivator.
Cave Void in Qi Refinement, Purity in Body Refinement, Yang God in Refining God, all signify a transformation of life form and a leap in the cultivation path.
Before that, it was essentially steady progress, with only differences in speed and foundation. But reaching the Seventh Tier, each subsequent step was a leap without touching the ground.
Each step could block countless people in place.
The prestige of Dao Cultivators partly stemmed from the fact that, under normal circumstances, as long as one began to Enter Dao, in Qi Refining or Refining God, none would stall before the Seventh Tier.
Also, that Seventh Floor high-level person they encountered before, if he had already become a Yang God, even if his physical body was shattered, with just the Yang God alone, he could easily eliminate Yu Ziqing and a few others with a wave of his hand. Of course, if he had such strength, he wouldn't have had his physical form destroyed.
Having Uncle Fu come showed they took this matter very seriously.
Typically, a Great Cultivator wouldn't be dispatched alone casually.
And without obtaining specific circumstances, it would be even more unlikely for Dali to send stronger personnel into Dazhen territory.
Sending a Seventh Tier now was eye-catching enough.
Yu Ziqing, of course, understood why the one to come was Uncle Fu.
Because it was to meet him.
A familiar face makes meetings and talks easier.
The clues he gradually provided, combined with the sweet rain Cece sent out, allowed them to make many inferences.
When he met with Uncle Fu, it would be the proper start of their interaction.
The connection between Cece and Gu Tianxin could only be considered their private relationship, while the people behind them made slight non-hostile tests.
Yu Ziqing pondered carefully and asked Cece to reply, giving a rough area. Then, once the person arrived, they would arrange a separate meeting place.
He planned to take a little time to rest and reflect. Having drawn upon the power of the Hungry Ghost Dao once more, he had new insights and some ideas about previously pondered matters, which could be further explored while continuing cultivation.
Without Jinlan Mushroom, sourcing other resources became significantly easier after coming out. Despite the current situation, low-tier supplies for Body Cultivation were still purchasable, though more expensive than usual.
