I Fuse All Things and Become the Strongest Cultivator
Chapter 120: A Missed Opportunity
Just thinking about it made him feel speechless.
Why is Master so concerned?
Fu Young felt a little confused, but obediently answered, "It seems like some ancient cultivation cave dwelling had a battle between powerful cultivators. The cave dwelling was destroyed, and everything inside was thrown out. Most of the medicinal garden, along with a Golden Core cultivator and a few small ghosts, were spat out onto Ten Thousand Beast Mountain. It almost smashed right onto me, Master~~~!"
"Uh... you’re not injured, right?"
Seeing his disciple’s slightly aggrieved expression, Xiao Shou’s mouth twitched.
He felt a wave of envy.
What kind of luck was this?
He had schemed and gained nothing, while things were literally falling from the sky onto him.
If he had not seen it himself, he would never believe Fu Young could have such outrageous luck right from the start.
"No, I’m fine. And you, Master? Why weren’t you at Snowy Cave Mountain?"
Fu Young shook his head, thinking that this time his master would finally answer properly.
Hearing this, Xiao Shou gave him a dry laugh.
Looking at his disciple’s gaze, he felt increasingly guilty as he tried to explain, "I just... cultivation got tiring, so I came out for a walk. Just a walk... and I happened to come across an undeveloped secret realm by luck! I was just thinking about whether to go in or not..."
"You just went for a walk and left Little An alone at Snowy Cave Mountain?"
Fu Young stared at Xiao Shou without blinking, making him feel increasingly uneasy.
Only then did he calmly say, "Location?"
Xiao Shou immediately swallowed his saliva, he blinked his fox-like eyes and said dejectedly, "White Silver City."
"White Silver City. Your ’just a walk’ is quite efficient. Why didn’t you walk a few hundred thousand more miles?"
Fu Young sighed helplessly. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
His entire body was practically surrounded by dark aura now.
"Master, please wait in White Silver City. I will arrive as soon as possible."
"Huh? You’re coming?" Xiao Shou was startled.
He quickly tried to stop him as Fu Young was about to cut the communication.
"Wait, I still have a lot to ask you! And I can go back myself, no need for you to come pick me up."
"What do you want to ask?"
Fu Young completely ignored his last sentence.
"Ah... the ones who almost got hit by it, how did you deal with them?"
After asking, Xiao Shou looked at Fu Young expectantly. He silently chanting in his mind that he must keep the talented ones.
The Eternal Prosperity Sect urgently needed talent right now.
It would be best not to miss even a few good ones.
It was not an illusion.
Master really cared about those people.
Fu Young felt a trace of regret for bringing them back.
He even regretted wanting to start a sect or establish a faction at all.
It felt best when it was just him and Master on the mountain.
Adding others only made him irritated.
He took a breath and suppressed those thoughts, then put on a helpless expression.
"That Golden Core cultivator kept crying and begging to become a servant. Those small cultivators also kept asking me to take them in. I had no choice. I took a strand of that Golden Core cultivator’s spirit essence and brought them all back to Snowy Cave Mountain, planning to leave them for you to deal with. But who knew... you were not there."
"..."
Xiao Shou felt wronged.
Why was this unfair?
The native people luck was so good, while outsiders like him were constantly messed with.
The joy of gaining new members was instantly crushed by an unfair sense of jealousy.
Thinking about the mess in White Silver City and the White Silver Secret Realm that would eventually be obtained by Ying Yuan and given to Xiao Ran in the original story, he felt extremely unwilling to let it go.
His expression changed too obviously.
It was easy to see he was troubled.
Looking at his master’s aggrieved and reluctant expression as if he was cutting off his own flesh, Fu Young felt a pang of heartache, but also could not help twitching the corner of his mouth.
"Master, you look troubled. If it is convenient, can you tell me about it?"
"It is not inconvenient."
Looking at his disciple’s handsome face, Xiao Shou briefly explained what had happened while deleting anything related to the female protagonist, the original plot, and the storyline.
After speaking, he said, "Right now, they think I am a Nascent Soul expert and are hoping I can help them avoid the cultivators from the Penglai Immortal Isle and safely enter the White Silver Secret Realm."
"But I am only at Qi Refining stage. If we really encounter danger, I cannot help at all. But it would be too wasteful to miss the chance to enter an undeveloped secret realm."
He paused, then continued.
Thinking that he had originally planned to bring back the Tier 4 Spirit Sand for him anyway, he skipped over his Absolute Fusion ability and only mentioned that there was a secret method to purify the Spirit Sand.
After explaining its special effect on awakening the Eye of Ishvara, he added, "I suspect that the Eye of Ishvara awakened using Spirit Sand may also be related to opening that White Silver Secret Realm. Part of the realm’s boundary membrane seems to be attached to the stone inside that cave."
"So if we bring that stone back to Snowy Cave Mountain, we might be able to control a secret realm that we can enter and exit anytime. Sigh, it is a pity my cultivation is insufficient. I can only watch it slip away."
But if he participated, would that not be stealing the female protagonist’s opportunity?
If he really did that, he would definitely end up on the Heavenly Dao’s blacklist.
Who knew what kind of misfortune would follow?
And with his current cultivation, even with support items, entering a sea area full of Golden Core cultivators...
