Chapter 131: Chapter 130: Advancement to Ghost King

"Yan Feng, why won’t you take the Rejuvenation Pill?" Mu Ru demanded.

"Ru’er, I still prefer my current appearance," Yan Feng replied with a smile.

"Get out, I don’t like it," Mu Ru snapped, pouting.

"Uh, alright then!"

Yan Feng reluctantly walked toward Yan Rufeng and said, "Kid, did you see that? If I don’t regain my youthful 18-year-old looks today, your mom might divorce me. Quickly, get the Immortal Pill for your old man."

Everyone burst into laughter at Yan Feng’s words. Yan Rufeng couldn’t help but laugh, "Dad, I already prepared the elixir for you long ago."

After that, Yan Rufeng’s uncle and aunt each requested two more elixirs, and then the family sat around the dining table, enjoying drinks and conversation.

When the family feast ended, Yan Rufeng planned to visit the Underground Palace to check on the cultivation progress of the Eight Ghosts, but Niuniu followed him closely, refusing to leave his side.

"Niuniu, Master has things to do and can’t stay with you. Go cultivate,"

"Niuniu won’t go."

"Niuniu, why don’t you want to cultivate?" Yan Rufeng asked.

"Master, Niuniu wants to sit by your side while cultivating," Niuniu replied.

"Niuniu, you have to be obedient. Master has many things to do and can’t always be with you," Yan Rufeng said gently.

"Hmph!"

Niuniu pouted, "I don’t care. We pinky-swore that Master wouldn’t go back on his word. Wherever you go, I’ll follow."

Yan Rufeng felt a headache coming on and thought for a while before deciding to let Niuniu cultivate in the Heavenly Court Space within his Purple Mansion.

"Niuniu, do you really want to sit by Master’s side while cultivating?" Yan Rufeng asked seriously.

"Mm-hmm!"

Niuniu nodded continuously.

"Then close your eyes," Yan Rufeng said.

"Why do I have to close my eyes?" Niuniu asked, puzzled.

"Niuniu, Master is going to take you to a place that’s just for the two of us. Would that be okay?" Yan Rufeng asked with a smile.

"Okay, okay." Niuniu clapped her hands excitedly.

When Niuniu closed her eyes, Yan Rufeng spread his Divine Sense to envelop her. The next moment, Niuniu found herself in the first layer of the Heavenly Court Space.

There was no time difference here; the time was the same as the outside world, so Niuniu wouldn’t worry about not growing up while staying here.

At this moment, the Divine Soul Body of Yan Rufeng appeared beside Niuniu and said, smiling, "Niuniu, now you can open your eyes."

Niuniu slowly opened her eyes and exclaimed, "Wow, Master, why is your body glowing with golden light?"

Yan Rufeng laughed, "Niuniu, when your cultivation reaches a certain level, you’ll naturally understand."

Niuniu nodded. When she realized it was just the two of them, she curiously asked, "Master, where is this place? Why are we the only ones here?"

"Niuniu, didn’t you say you wanted to sit by Master’s side while cultivating? Now you can. I won’t leave your sight," Yan Rufeng said.

"Really?" Niuniu looked at Yan Rufeng with some doubt.

"Master wouldn’t lie to you."

As Yan Rufeng spoke, he sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Niuniu also sat down cross-legged. However, she didn’t start cultivating immediately. Instead, she repeatedly opened her eyes to check if Yan Rufeng had left. After confirming several times that he stayed put, she finally closed her eyes and began to operate her Cultivation Technique.

Seeing Niuniu sitting next to his Divine Soul Body, cultivating, Yan Rufeng withdrew his Divine Sense from the Purple Mansion.

In the underground palace of Dragon Abyss Sect, the Eight Ghosts hurried to greet Yan Rufeng when they saw him.

"Boss, why did it take you so long to visit us?" Old Yan, the leader, asked.

Yan Rufeng smiled, "I got held up by something."

"Boss, you don’t know how much we missed you over the past three years. We almost couldn’t resist going out to find you several times," another plump ghost said.

"Haha!"

Yan Rufeng chuckled lightly, "Well, I’m here now, aren’t I?"

"Haha..."

A plump ghost laughed, "Boss, our cultivation has reached the Ghost King level. When will you take us to the underworld for a visit?"

"Already reached the Ghost King level so quickly?" Yan Rufeng thought to himself, surprised. His Divine Sense scanned the Eight Ghosts, and he was shocked, "Since the world changed, the cultivation progress of ghosts and demons has indeed accelerated the fastest. I wonder what level the cultivation of the Heavenly Demon has reached and where it is now..."

"Boss, what are you thinking about?"

Yan Rufeng snapped back to reality and said, "Since your cultivation has reached the Ghost King level, you can enter the underworld at any time. But not right now."

"Why not?" a plump ghost asked.

Yan Rufeng replied, "Wait until I finish dealing with the sect’s matters, then you can go."

"Got it, Boss; we’ll wait here for your good news," Old Yan said with a smile.

Yan Rufeng left the underground palace and returned to the sect main hall, where Xiaxia cupped his hands and said, "Sect Master, I have already announced on the sect’s official website that the Beauty Water will no longer be sold externally."

"What’s the reaction outside?" Yan Rufeng inquired.

"What else could it be? You should check the comments section on the website," Liu Ping’er stepped out and said with a stern face.

"Haha!"

Yan Rufeng let out a cold laugh, "Elder Liu, have you announced the establishment of our sect’s auction house?"

"Hmph."

Liu Ping’er snorted, "Brother Rufeng, I have announced both the auction house and our sect’s trade association, but they’ve become a joke. People say we want to auction Beauty Water, calling us utterly foolish!"

Noticing Yan Rufeng’s displeased expression, Xiaxia quickly said to Liu Ping’er, "Elder Liu, please stop. Can’t you see Rufeng is upset?"

Liu Ping’er retorted sternly, "I don’t care if he’s mad. The fact is, if we stop selling Beauty Water, our sect might disband soon, just as they’ve said."

Yan Rufeng didn’t lose his temper. He calmly said, "Elder Xia, announce that in seven days, Dragon Abyss Sect will hold a grand auction in Zhongzhou."

Stunned, Xiaxia hesitated, "Rufeng, what will we auction at such a large event in seven days?"

Yan Rufeng smiled lightly, "Announce that to reward widespread Daoists, our Dragon Abyss Sect will auction the ingredients of the Youthful Pill, which has the same effects as the Beauty Water."

"Rufeng, auctioning just the Youthful Pill at such a major event won’t suffice," Xiaxia pressed further.

"The Youthful Pill is just to attract attention. Wait until Xiao Fei returns, and I’ll instruct you to announce something else," Yan Rufeng explained.

"I’ll post the announcement now."

Xiaxia turned and left the main hall, returning to his office to post the announcement online as instructed by Yan Rufeng.

This announcement from Dragon Abyss Sect sparked an immediate heated discussion on the forums.

Someone shared and commented, "What’s going on with Dragon Abyss Sect? They’ve posted three or four announcements in one day."

"Hehe!"

A netizen commented with a laugh, "What else could it be? You probably don’t know this, but ever since Yan Sect Leader went to Outer Space, their reputation has been dwindling. I reckon they’re doing this just to stay relevant..."
