Chapter 227 - A Favour




Chapter 227: A Favour
Exodus Tales
“We, the Bon Voyage Fleet, have a Spirit Realm cultivator who is going to break through to the Assimilation Realm soon.”
“Oh? Congratulations, Senior.”
Reaching the Spirit Realm wasn’t too hard in the grand scheme of things; as long as one had the foundation and the luck, it was possible. However, one might not find an Assimilation Realm cultivator even in ten thousand people. The Assimilation Realm symbolized true power. No matter how big an aristocratic family or sect was, they could only be considered a small sect. Only with an Assimilation Realm elder could they be counted as an established sect that others couldn’t just attack as they wished.
If the Bon Voyage Fleet had an Assimilation Realm elder, it would no longer be a mere beast-hunting fleet, but a powerful party in Beiming, and they would have a chance to talk in other places like Zhongzhou as well.
“As you know, the higher one’s cultivation is, the more scarce the necessary resources become. Not only do you need extremely rare treasures, but you also need an entire blessed land to breakthrough. There aren’t many blessed lands in Beiming. Jasper Sun Mountain is obviously one of them with the grandmaster, but…”
“Ah, Senior’s request would be to let your senior breakthrough to the Assimilation Realm in Jasper Sun Mountain?” Lu Mingshu understood her intentions immediately.
“Yes.” Yu Ruohan nodded.
Seeing Lu Mingshu deep in thought, she flashed her a smile. “There’s no need for an answer right now, you can take your time to consider. However, I hope that you’ll swear not to spread this information either way.”
“Of course.” Lu Mingshu agreed without the slightest hesitation.
Yu Ruohan stood up. “I have something to do, so I won’t accompany you. You can stay here or go out for a walk if you want. As long as you stay in Remainder Island, I can assure your safety.”
Lu Mingshu nodded. The highest cultivation realm here was the Spirit Realm, and if Yu Ruohan dared to guarantee, there was nothing more to worry about.
She packed up and got ready to bring Little Daze out for a walk.
Little Daze was on cloud nine. It could follow her everywhere in the portable stable, but it couldn’t walk around freely.
“Eh, you’re looking thinner.” Lu Mingshu caressed its stomach.
She stepped back to have a better look. “Actually, it looks like you’ve grown.”
Before, Little Daze was still a young beast, so it was hard to tell what breed it was. Now, it was eating fish from the Ming River daily, so perhaps it was starting to grow better because of the food.
But it was very well-fed to start with, so even if it was thinner than before, it was still chubby.
Little Daze looked up at her, calling out in happiness as it raised its hoof up in excitement.
“What are you trying to say?”
Little Daze nudged her.
Feeling ticklish, Lu Mingshu looked down. To her surprise, Little Daze had grown wings. “You have wings already!?”
“Neigh!” Little Daze looked at her proudly.
Caressing its newly grown wings, Lu Mingshu smiled. “Okay, I get it. You need to eat more now. I will get you some fish later – barbequed ones!”
Little Daze was now satisfied. It went over for her to get on.
Both of them went around the bamboo forest next to the harbour for a few rounds. When they had warmed up, they went up to the harbour.
When Little Daze finished its food, Lu Mingshu put it back in the portable stable and went to find the Ding family.
“Miss!” Seeing her, Ah Ling waved to her excitedly.
There was only Ah Ling. Ah Lang and Captain Ding couldn’t be seen anywhere.
Lu Mingshu walked over to her. “Ah Ling, where’s your grandpa?”
“He went to stock up.” Ah Ling blinked. “Is there anything you need?”
She nodded. “I need to stay behind because of some reasons, so I need to cancel the rental early.”
“Ah?” Ah Ling look at her in a daze. “Miss, you’ve rented it for half a year. Only one month has passed!”
“I have no choice, something came up suddenly. Quickly clear your goods and leave this place. I have offended the Ye Family, and I do not wish to drag you all down too.”
“Erm…” Ah Ling bit her lips. “Then what about Miss? Will you be fine?”
“It’s okay. I have something to rely on since I dare to stay, I just can’t look after you guys as well, which is why I am asking you to leave earlier.” After saying this, she took out something from her pocket. “Here, a gift for you.”
“Blood Tungsten!” Ah Ling opened her eyes wide.
Lu Mingshu nodded. “Aren’t you going to forge a mystic weapon? This should help you.”
“Miss, this is too precious….” Ah Ling dared not receive it.
Lu Mingshu smiled thinly at her. “Take it. It’s just residue from my old sword, so I don’t need it now.” Lu Mingshu patted Ah Ling. “I need to go now, we’ll meet again if fate allows.”
Even though Lu Mingshu had left, Ah Ling was still standing at the bow of the ship. Seeing her turn around, Ah Ling waved with all her might. “Miss, remember to visit us if you ever visit Beiming again!”

In the Bon Voyage shipyard’s private area.
“You told that young lady?” Sir Ning’s voice could be heard.
Yu Ruohan nodded. “Yes.”
“So, what did she say?”
“I’m more than 70% sure she’ll agree,” Yu Ruohan said confidently.
Sir Ning didn’t look surprised. “Well, it would be weird if she doesn’t agree.”
This was an extremely mysterious Grandmaster they were talking about. How many Grandmasters were there in all of China? Getting a Grandmaster’s pointers was something that nobody could resist.
“Senior Sister Yu, even if she agrees, are you sure she’ll even get the acknowledgement of the Jasper Sun Mountain Grandmaster?” a sharp voice said. It was from another lady; she was petite and charming, unlike Yu Ruohan. Even though she was no longer that young, her gracefulness was comparable to a teenage girl.
Yu Ruohan smiled thinly. “Junior Sister Xiu, how can I be sure of anything? We can’t read the Grandmaster’s mind.”
“And yet you still recommend her!?”
“Because she’s better than our own disciples,” Yu Ruohan explained calmly. “She’s first on the New Generation Ranking, and those that can do that are pretty good. She even defeated the Ye Family’s Third Young Master. None of our disciples could do that.”
“First? What bullshit, that’s just luck.” Junior Sister Xiu sulked.
“Even if she only got first by luck, she still has the ability of someone in the top ten at the least.”
“But she’s an outsider. How can you be sure that she’ll do what we ask?”
Yu Ruohan smiled warmly. “You’ve haven’t seen her. She’s a lot like Liu Jizhen. People like them, who are aiming for the pinnacle, wouldn’t go back on their word. If they do, they won’t be able to improve after the Spirit Realm.”
“Heh!” Junior Sister Xiu sneered. “As if she could get to the Assimilation Realm anyway.”
“If Liu Jizhen wasn’t paralyzed, I am sure that he could.” Yu Ruohan smiled.
This was something that many believed. Liu Jizhen was outstandingly talented, and he was always known as a genius. He had strong basics too, so even when he got to the Spirit Realm, he did not stay stagnant. Moreover, he had the patience to polish his skills slowly, so it wouldn’t have been hard for him to get to the Assimilation Realm.
“Liu Jizhen is Liu Jizhen, and Lu Mingshu is Lu Mingshu! What can you tell from a Harmonization Realm kid? Isn’t it way too early?”
Yu Ruohan smiled. “Junior Sister Xiu, you need to know that there’s a certain type of person in this world that shines from the moment they’re born. Ling Wuxia is someone like that, and Lu Mingshu is too.”
“But how can she defeat Ling Wuxia…?”
“Since what Junior Sister Xiu says makes sense, then should we just give up?” Sir Ning interrupted sarcastically. “She can’t win over Ling Wuxia anyways, right?”
“You…!”
“Enough!” A Daoist who was resting on a stone bed yelled after suddenly opening his eyes. “I agree to this. Xuan Xiu, enough.”
“Brother Mao!”

The Daoist looked over to a guy in grey. “Zong Ting, what’s your opinion?”
Zong Ting answered, “Junior Sister Yu makes sense.”
It was four against one, successfully shutting Xuan Xiu up.
“Fine, let’s just hope that she’ll be acknowledged, or else… hmph!”
