Chapter 737: Chapter 95: Yin Yang [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]_1

Seeing that a great battle was about to start, Chu Liang hurried back to Silver Sword Peak immediately.

It had to be said, slaying a Demon King of the Eighth Realm was indeed an accomplishment worthy of being recorded in the annals of history, and not many human cultivators had managed to do so throughout the millennia. That’s why, even if his master, with his snake body, went to block the spring waters of Jade Sword Peak, Old Wang probably wouldn’t dare to confront him.

His master had been angry for several months because of Wang Xuanling’s act of killing an evil Eastern Sea Dragon. Now with such a resounding achievement, it would probably take several years to settle the matter.

You couldn’t underestimate someone who was not only capable of fighting but also held grudges.

Once Chu Liang returned to his small house, he finally felt a sense of security. These past few years had been filled with perplexing ups and downs, feeling like a constant ride on the wild waves.

Only when he returned to this small house could his heart settle down.

But now, he realized that this sense of security didn’t come without a price. It was secured by trusted elders like Master Wen Yuan, the Four Great Elders, Daoist Yan, all the Peak Masters... who shielded the disciples of Shu Mountain, creating a safe haven for them.

Without them, everything built upon this base wouldn’t exist anymore, including the apparently thriving Red Cotton Peak that he had worked hard to build, which could easily be destroyed by others.

The reason for these years of peace was because certain people were bearing the burden.

From now on, he would have to be one of those who bore the burden, and face directly the blood and fury of the Immortal Cultivation World. The cruelty that Master Wen Yuan spoke of was not exaggerated; it was very real.

For instance, when an unfamiliar Secret Realm is explored, powerhouses of the Seventh Realm would go in first to investigate and comprehend everything. Only then are sect disciples allowed to venture in, by which time, all risks involved should be controllable.

And for the Sect to have sufficient resources, strong cultivators of the Seventh and Eighth Realm had to venture into extremely dangerous Secret Realms, and even Shenxu. This was inevitable.

To take on all of this, cultivation is essential.

What Chu Liang needed to do now, was to consolidate his current cultivation realm.

He had leapfrogged from the Fifth Realm straight to the Seventh Realm. As a result, his control over his cultivation was not as proficient as it should be. Although he had been able to slay masters of the Seventh Realm using the Purple Green Double Swords before, this didn’t mean he was strong, it was merely that the Purple Green Double Swords were strong.

With the Daoist Rites of Void Slashing flowing in him, the most direct feeling was the surging of Sword Intent. For a long time, he hadn’t really been conscious of being a sword cultivator, he had been relying on the power of the Dragon God to fight. It was only after achieving Dao through Void Slashing, that Chu Liang realized his own mastery in the Sword Dao was quite weak.

When he has time, he could seek guidance from Uncle Yan. Although she is the Daoist Master Jue Yun, the three major Dao of Sword Cultivation are interrelated, so her understanding of Void Slashing would not be low.

Moreover, Senior Sister Jiang treats her like her own mother; it would be beneficial to enhance their relationship in advance...

After consolidating Void Slashing, he started to ponder over the Great Dao Seed of Yin-Yang that Baize had given him.

As one of the Daos closest to the source of Heaven’s Dao, even a seed of Yin-Yang Dao contained profound Daoist Rites. Chu Liang had been pondering it for a while before he was able to discern its true meaning.

The narrow interpretation of Yin-Yang refers to the two fundamental energies in Heaven and Earth, while the broader interpretation covers the positive and negative aspects of the world. If one cultivates the Way of Yin-Yang to an extreme, it should be able to give birth to all things.

Due to this, Baize would certainly face innumerable difficulties in advancing to the Ninth Realm.

However, Chu Liang himself possessed two Golden Cores, Shao Yin and Shao Yang, which allowed him to have a deeper understanding of this Dao, reducing the difficulty of comprehending it.

After a long time, not until he heard Lin Bei’s voice outside, did he open his eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey!" He heard Lin Bei laugh, and then knock on the door, saying, "Chu Liang, I brought you some special produce from the Eastern Region on my trip out, Seawater Fruit."

"Oh." Chu Liang simply laughed and raised an eyebrow, "Is this something you brought only for me, or did you also give it to everyone else?"

"Huh?"

...

"You usually aren’t this thoughtful, remembering to bring something over for me. Whenever you visit Silver Sword Peak, not to mention returning empty-handed, you don’t hesitate to take away some food for the Golden Fur Beast." Chu Liang commented.

"What are you saying..." Lin Bei laughed awkwardly at his remark, then said, "Your Golden Fur Beast has never had its own food supply. It always leeches off Little Baize’s food. Now that Little Baize’s mother, the Great Baize, is awake, the Golden Fur Beast doesn’t dare to steal food there. It’s been crying from hunger every day, and it’s still lying at the entrance of Red Moon Square."

"Alright, alright." Chu Liang couldn’t keep from blushing as his friend teased him further. After a moment of distraction, he finally extricated himself from his emotional immersion in the Way of Yin and Yang. He stared at Lin Bei and said, "Alright, tell me, why are you really here?"

"Well, you caught me..." Lin Bei confessed. "There is something I wanted to discuss with you. It’s like this, I have two friends on Flaming Island Mountain in the Eastern Region..."

As it turned out, the real reason for his visit was to discuss the Earth-Wood Hall.

During the recent Demon Sect’s assault on Shu Mountain, the Phoenix-Level structure on Red Cotton Peak had demonstrated its formidable strengths, safeguarding the lives and properties on the mountain. With its story spreading on the Immortal Friends Circle, Shu Mountain’s Earth-Wood Hall soon earned the recognition across the Immortal Cultivation World.

It would not surprise anyone that a Magic Artifact-constructed building could be robust because these buildings cannot be mass-produced.

However, buildings designed by Earth-Wood Hall were different. They could be built on a large scale, as already evidenced on Red Cotton Peak.

On the same day as the assault, Red Cotton Peak survived the devastating attack unharmed. Conversely, the Castellan Residence of Taotie City was shattered by the assault from Mang Mountain, leading to the disappearance of the owner and his son.

This formed a stark contrast.

Without a safe home, what would be the point of all the wealth one could hold? It would only become a ready feast for others.

Considering the chaos of the times and Taotie City’s disaster, many sects were given a wake-up call; even the Ten Earth Sects were not immune from danger.

Amid the widespread feeling of insecurity, the Sect Leader of Flaming Island Mountain in the Eastern Region had a sudden thought. If Shu Mountain’s architecture was so firm, could they enlist Shu Mountain’s people to build a few structures for them?

He knew someone in Shu Mountain!

He quickly contacted Lin Bei, who then consulted with the Earth-Wood Hall.

Traditionally, Earth-Wood Hall only served the disciples of Shu Mountain. Even the large-scale Red Cotton Peak renovation did not exceed the boundary of Shu Mountain. Building houses for others, regardless of the financial compensation, was considered violating the convention; thus, making it a big deal.

The youngsters of Earth-Wood Hall did not dare to make this decision and asked Lin Bei to speak to Chu Liang.

"The Sect Leader of Flaming Island Mountain is indeed my good buddy, a man who doesn’t mind spending money," said Lin Bei. "Of course, he understands that this matter could be challenging to accomplish. Even if it doesn’t work out, he won’t bear a grudge..."

"What’s difficult? What’s difficult?" Chu Liang’s eyes sparkled as he heard the matter in its entirety, proclaiming, "This is easy. If he is your friend, that makes him mine. We are all brothers."

"Really?" The moment Lin Bei heard this, he immediately broke into a smile and said, "That’s great news! I’ll reply to him right away. How much would a house cost? We should set a clear price."

"We can’t charge per house when serving outsiders," said Chu Liang.

"Then what should we charge?" Lin Bei was puzzled.

"We have to charge per square meter," Chu Liang explained very seriously. "The price also varies according to the location. Even if the materials are the same, the charge would differ. If they place a large order and want to establish a... residential community, we could offer a discount."

"However, they will need to share the cost of the public areas..."
