Chapter 234 Ambiguity
Yin-Yang Palace, Yin-Yang Palace.
Sun Qiao'er stood with her hands at her sides in the main hall, her head bowed, seemingly lost in thought.
Inside the main hall, besides her, there were several other women standing there, but their gazes were all focused on Sun Qiao'er.
“Sun Qiao’er, now that you have entered the Divine Palace and have rendered meritorious service in suppressing evil, I hereby bestow upon you the ‘Divine Skill of Annihilation’ as encouragement.”
Qiu Dishui sat at the very top of the main hall, looking at Sun Qiao'er standing below, and spoke slowly.
"It's all thanks to Master's good teachings."
Sun Qiao'er smiled slightly upon hearing this and said.
"You don't need to be so polite with me. You're just my personal attendant; I haven't taught you anything."
Qiu Dishui waved her hand and said calmly.
"The palace appointment has been issued. From this day forward, you will be a steward of my Tai Xuan Peak, a sixth-rank official!"
After Qiu Dishui finished speaking, she casually tossed something out, which flew straight towards Sun Qiao'er's hand.
Upon hearing this, Sun Qiao'er's eyes lit up, and she reached out to catch the flying object in her hand. It was a token made of black iron with the four characters "Xuan Yi Zhi Shi" engraved on it.
Sun Qiao'er put away the token, then bowed gracefully to Qiu Tishui above, and said:
"Thank you Master!"
Qiu Di Shui nodded slightly upon hearing this, and continued:
"Alright, my palace and Taiping Palace have already gone to war, so your engagement with that Master Fuliu is naturally invalid!"
"Now that you are a steward of our peak, I hope you will diligently cultivate in the future and not slack off!"
"You should all take Steward Sun as your role model, so as to enhance the reputation of our peak!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall raised their hands to their foreheads and responded in unison:
"I will strictly follow Master's command!"
The crowd dispersed, and as Sun Qiao'er emerged from the main hall, she suddenly heard a voice behind her:
"Sister Sun, Sister Sun!"
Sun Qiao'er turned her head and saw a woman with a seductive face laughing as she jogged towards her.
"Congratulations, Sister Sun! From now on, I'll be calling you Steward!"
The woman smiled sweetly and took Sun Qiao'er's hands in hers.
When Sun Qiao'er saw this woman, her expression immediately turned cold.
When Master Fuliu first learned of him, it was entirely this woman who pushed him forward. He never expected that today, when he was promoted, this woman would have the audacity to come and congratulate him.
"Where did this vixen come from? Get lost!"
Just as Sun Qiao'er was about to speak, a cold laugh suddenly came from the side.
Sun Qiao'er turned her head and saw that the person who came was actually Yao Xiangxiang.
Today, Yao Xiangxiang was dressed as provocatively as ever, with pink gauze stockings covering her legs. If any man were here, a single glance would surely set his blood boiling.
Yao Xiangxiang strode over and shoved the woman aside.
"Ah, Steward Yao."
Upon seeing this, the woman turned pale and quickly greeted Yao Xiangxiang.
"Senior Sister Yao."
When Sun Qiao'er saw that Yao Xiangxiang had arrived, she immediately smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.
"Ah, Junior Sister Sun, why are you being so polite with me? If it weren't for you, I would have died in that cave!"
Yao Xiangxiang looked at Sun Qiao'er with eyes full of affection, and her hands were already wrapped around Sun Qiao'er's waist.
"Master, you've really put me in a terrible situation."
Seeing Yao Xiangxiang like this, Sun Qiao'er felt a little helpless. But Yao Xiangxiang had helped her a lot in getting promoted this time, so she couldn't say anything.
"My lords, I shall take my leave now."
Seeing the two men's expressions, the woman dared not show the slightest abnormality. Instead, she smiled, bowed to them, and then turned and left.
"Junior Sister Sun, would you like to come over tonight? I've prepared wine and food to celebrate your promotion!"
Seeing that no one was around, Yao Xiangxiang blushed slightly and said...
Seeing this, Sun Qiao'er shook her head slightly:
"Senior Sister Yao, Master has taught me the magic technique. I need to cultivate it as soon as possible. With great chaos ahead, I dare not slack off in the slightest."
"Ok."
Yao Xiangxiang felt somewhat helpless and didn't pester Sun Qiao'er any further. Instead, she reluctantly let go of her hands and said:
"Then you should cultivate diligently, junior sister. I will come back to check on you again in a while."
After saying that, Yao Xiangxiang ignored what Sun Qiao'er said and turned to leave.
"Hey."
Seeing this, Sun Qiao'er could only shake her head slightly. How could she not know Yao Xiangxiang's preferences? But at this moment, she only had Ding Yi in her heart. Anyone who touched her made her feel uncomfortable from the depths of her soul, even if it was a woman.
"Miss, ma'am!"
Just then, a little girl in a pink dress came running over and waved to Sun Qiao'er.
"Mo Yun, what brings you here?"
Sun Qiao'er looked at her newly acquired maid and was immediately puzzled.
"A letter has come down from the mountain; it's from a fellow named Li Baozheng of the Wanxiang Sect!"
Mo Yun quickly replied.
"I know, let's go."
Sun Qiao'er nodded slightly, and then led Mo Yun along the steps in the mountain towards the residential area halfway up the mountain.
On the other side, in the secret chamber of the Myriad Manifestations Gate.
Ding Yi looked at the motionless red skull on the quicksand map and breathed a slight sigh of relief. Then he took out the book "Journey to the Void" and opened it to read.
Soon, Ding Yi had read through the entire book and roughly understood the cultivation method for the Divine Travel Realm.
However, knowing this is one thing, but to truly get started, one probably needs to take it one step at a time.
After all, this is a great supernatural power of refining Qi into spirit. Ordinary martial artists would take at least twenty years to break through this barrier, and those with poor talent could forget about it, as they might be stuck at the Yuanqiao stage for their entire lives.
Even those who worship gods, without any cultivation bottlenecks, need to expend a great deal of evil energy to take the first step in condensing their divine soul. Therefore, those who reach the realm of divine soul are already considered powerful figures in this world, beings whom everyone reveres.
Ding Yi sat on the futon, then stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
He still has about 600 years left to live, and he needs to plan how to go all in.
The first option is to not strengthen the cultivation technique and go all in on the Divine Illumination. In this way, he can immediately gain an extra 600 years of cultivation, and might even directly reach the Great Perfection of Divine Travel.
The second option is to first strengthen your cultivation technique, and then use the rest of your lifespan to go all in.
The advantage of this approach is that the cultivation method will definitely become stronger and more suitable for oneself, which is equivalent to improving one's comprehension and talent invisibly. When using Divine Illumination later, it will also achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Both options seemed to have their advantages and disadvantages, but Ding Yi quickly made up his mind and chose the second one.
"The strength of a cultivation technique directly affects future combat power, so this kind of foundational strengthening cannot be neglected."
Ding Yi thought to himself, then spread out a sheet of white paper on the table in front of him, picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and began to copy at lightning speed.
At Ding Yi's current speed, copying this book would only take the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.
Ding Yi quickly copied the book and then wrote the phrase "suitable for enhancing effects" on it.
[Currently, the required lifespan for enhancement is 318 years and 125 days. Enhance now?]
Ding Yi looked at the lifespan value in front of him and felt a pang in his heart, but there was no way to reduce this enhancement, so he could only choose yes.
The next moment, the books on the table were enveloped in a familiar white light.
