After Li Qingyun emerged, his demeanor became even more extraordinary.
At this moment, he truly resembled a pure lotus rising unstained from the mud, noble and serene.
Chu Yang’s breath caught in his throat. This fellow’s aura had ascended another level, subtly posing a threat to his own attractiveness.
Gan Cuicui, holding the camera,’s eyes sparkled with admiration upon seeing Li Qingyun’s current appearance.
As a competent assistant, the live stream had been continuously active since she entered the cultivation technique pavilion.
She had perfectly recorded the anomaly triggered when Li Qingyun touched the [Talent Identification Stone] – that ancient tree obscuring half the sky marked the birth of an ultimate genius!
Furthermore, because Li Qingyun had enabled everyone present to receive a leaf from the Enlightenment Tree, she held a favorable impression of him.
In the live stream, viewers, regardless of gender, had been flooding the chat with “Husband” for quite some time.
Unfortunately, Gan Cuicui’s own talent was only above average, and the cultivation technique she received was only at the middle-grade spiritual level.
“What do we do now?”
Li Qingyun took out the design blueprint Xue Qianwei had taught him from his pocket, cleared his throat, and said, “My work isn’t finished yet. Let’s go plant trees!”
Gan Cuicui was stunned and quickly replied, “Isn’t that a bit… given your current status…?”
Li Qingyun interrupted her, stating seriously, “Don’t think I’m superior just because my talent is good. I’m just an ordinary person. Boss Xue paid me, and I need to complete the job. There’s nothing shameful about it. Besides…”
He smiled and continued, “Planting trees is a very enjoyable process. I can feel the joy they transmit to me as they grow.”
“Alright, everything is up to you. I’ll do my best as your assistant!”
“Thank you for your hard work. I’ll have to ask Boss Xue to give you a raise later.”
“……”
And so, to everyone’s astonishment, Li Qingyun, who had just put on an incredibly impressive display, went back to the task of planting trees!
Chu Yang watched as Li Qingyun, now at the edge of the park’s green belt, began diligently planting trees, sighing softly.
Unassuming, responsible, well-behaved, sensible, and exceptionally talented – what girl wouldn’t be smitten with such a person?
Speaking of which, Chen Xiaohan had something to say.
No matter what, Li Qingyun was now beyond her reach.
She never imagined that the tables would turn so quickly.
She admitted that when she saw Li Qingyun emerge from the cultivation technique pavilion after absorbing the [Myriad Lotus Sutra], she had been moved once again.
She was pathetic, liking the strong, and easily swayed!
Chen Xiaohan had turned dark. As she left with Meng Zibin, her gaze flickered with a hint of malice as she looked at Gan Cuicui walking alongside Li Qingyun.
Li Qingyun turned his head, feeling a premonition, but Chen Xiaohan and Meng Zibin had already turned away.
He frowned and said to Gan Cuicui, “Miss Gan, you should be careful of that woman just now.”
“Huh? Why? Does she dare to…?”
Li Qingyun shook his head and said, “Times have changed. As more cultivators appear, with their destructive capabilities, some harmful incidents are inevitable. You still need to be cautious.”
Gan Cuicui nodded seriously, “I understand!”
……
Pioneer of the Cultivation Era Small Group.
“Meng Zibin, Who Suppresses a Generation of Prodigies” has joined the chat.
Xue Qianwei, the Rich Woman Who Likes Playing with Fire: “Welcome, new member!”
Luo Xiaowei, the Ancestor of Sword Cultivation: “Group status -1. Does this group only allow those withheaven-sent talent to join? Wuwuwu, I don’t even dare to get my talent assessed, I’m afraid I’ll be kicked out of this group!”
Wang Teng, the Body Cultivation Brother with the Demeanor of a Great Emperor: “@Meng Zibin, Who Suppresses a Generation of Prodigies, I advise you to change your name quickly. You want to suppress a generation? Have you asked me?”
Meng Zibin, Who Suppresses a Generation of Prodigies: “Heh.”
Chu Yang felt his body go numb after standing all day.
He urgently felt that he might need a tool to help him distribute spirit stones and invite talented geniuses into the group.
He glanced at the group chat, and his eyes immediately lit up.
Big Brother Wei, you’re the one!
Xian Ge, Who Teaches Cultivation: “@Luo Xiaowei, the Ancestor of Sword Cultivation, I have a task for you. The reward is the spiritual-grade magic artifact [Azure Water Flying Sword] and one low-grade spirit stone per day. Interested?”
Luo Xiaowei was usually timid in the group. Ever since Chu Yang mentioned today that only those with heaven-sent talent could join, he had been anxious, fearing he would be kicked out.
When he saw someone mention him, his heart sank. He thought it was a notice to clear irrelevant members from the group.
But upon closer inspection, it was an invitation to help him, with a reward, and a flying sword!
Tears welled up! So Xian Ge actually needed me!
Luo Xiaowei, the Ancestor of Sword Cultivation: “Yes, yes, yes! I don’t even want the spirit stones, just give the order, and I’ll go through fire and water!”
Xian Ge, Who Teaches Cultivation: “Help me check the [Talent Identification Stone], distribute spirit stones for me, and invite geniuses with heaven-sent talent into the group. Confirm, are you in?”
Luo Xiaowei’s eyes lit up when he saw Chu Yang’s message.
Although he hadn’t been there, Xue Qianwei had already mentioned in the group that there was a spirit stone mine beneath the square, with a very dense spiritual energy concentration, allowing for automatic cultivation while eating and sleeping.
Moreover, if he was responsible for distributing spirit stones, wouldn’t that make him Xian Ge’s financial manager?
Brilliant! Too brilliant!
Luo Xiaowei, the Ancestor of Sword Cultivation: “What kind of question is that? Brother, you look down on me! Do I need to confirm? Xian Ge has spoken, I’ll do anything!”
Wang Teng, the Body Cultivation Brother with the Demeanor of a Great Emperor: “[Sweating Face Emoji]!”
Wang Teng, the Body Cultivation Brother with the Demeanor of a Great Emperor: “@Luo Xiaowei, the Ancestor of Sword Cultivation, you brat, you’re really sucking up! How dare you talk about me?”
Luo Xiaowei, the Ancestor of Sword Cultivation: “Brother Teng, I have to refute you! Am I sucking up? I’m seizing an opportunity for myself!”
Wang Teng, the Body Cultivation Brother with the Demeanor of a Great Emperor: “@Xian Ge, Who Teaches Cultivation, good brother! I was there just now, why didn’t you let me do it? I’m not worse at sucking up than him!”
“Wang Teng, the Body Cultivation Brother with the Demeanor of a Great Emperor” has been muted for 1 hour by the group owner.
Luo Xiaowei, the Ancestor of Sword Cultivation: “Hahahaha!”
