Chapter 490: Chapter 14: Prestige! Return of the Twin Beauties (Asking for Monthly Tickets)_2
The differences between people really are vast.
“It turns out that it’s Fifth Aunt and Sixth Aunt,” Wang Liyao muttered quietly, fortunate to have used the disguise technique she learned from Aunt Mei to slightly alter her looks.
Otherwise, her plan to secretly visit the Academic Palace would have fallen through.
…
“We greet Senior Sister Luo Jing and Senior Sister Luo Qiu.”
Over the years in the Academic Palace, the pair built a strong reputation with their formidable strength and exceptional cultivation speed. Seeing them now, the disciples of the Academic Palace were well-behaved without exception.
Wang Luo Jing and Wang Luoqiu, although they were direct disciples, were not aloof or distant. They nodded their heads in return to the greetings.
Even Zhang Xiuping respectfully offered a greeting, “Sister Luo Jing, Sister Luo Qiu, I trust you’ve been well.”
“We greet Senior Brother Xiuping.” Luo Jing and Luo Qiu courteously responded, engaging briefly in friendly banter.
At that moment, the manager disciple inside the Thousand Autumn Palace rushed out to greet them.
“Senior Sister Luo Jing, Senior Sister Luo Qiu, what may I assist you with?” The attentive manager disciple bowed to the two and asked.
Wang Luo Jing glanced at Luo Qiu.
Wang Luoqiu casually took over the conversation. She reached into her pocket, pulled out three tokens, and handed over a large package, “We are turning in a task.”
“Understood. Please wait a moment, Senior Sisters, I’ll handle the procedures for you right away.”
The manager disciple in charge quickly grabbed the items and briskly entered the inner hall to handle the paperwork.
The two women leisurely followed him into the hall.
Because of their status as direct disciples, they enjoyed many privileges in the Academic Palace. Not only could they utilize points to call on a flying carriage, there were also many places in the palace where they had priority, and they did not need to queue like ordinary disciples.
The other disciples were accustomed to this, and no one felt jealous. Instead, they curiously craned their necks, trying to figure out what task the two women had completed.
By now, the manager disciple had checked over the tasks represented by the tokens and examined the package’s content.
A look of surprise crossed his face. He paused for a moment before announcing, “Direct disciples Wang Luoqiu and Wang Luo Jing have successfully captured and killed the independent cultivators known as ‘Flower Scorpion’, ‘Poison Fang’, and ‘Bamboo Tiger’. In total, they are awarded eleven thousand points.”
Upon hearing this, the other disciples present were full of amazement and admiration.
“Impressive!” Lu Xianghui, their guide exclaimed. “As expected of our senior sisters. They not only eliminated three infamous cultivators from the bounty list, but one of them was even Flower Scorpion, the 19th on the blacklist.”
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
“Dealing with Flower Scorpion is no easy task. Before, Brother Hongjin from the Mysterious Ice Palace took on this task. After finally tracking down the target, he was tricked and the target escaped. As a result, Hongjin brother lost face and hid for several months.”
“To think that this Flower Scorpion would finally fall under the powerful hands of Senior Sisters Luo Jing and Luo Qiu.”
The disciples of the Academic Palace were full of admiration. Their excitement was evident.
Watching from the side, pride flickered within Wang Liyao’s clear eyes. So, her aunts were so commanding and formidable in the Academic Palace. When they usually returned for family visits, there was no hint of their dominating presence.
The life in the Academic Palace really is different from the family, there’s a much larger platform to showcase their abilities.
Amidst the buzzing discussions, the manager disciple had quickly finished the registration.
He took out the spiritual artifact used for tracking points and respectfully asked Wang Luoqiu and Wang Luo Jing to bring out their direct disciples identity cards. As he proceeded with the records, he turned to the pair with a question, “Would you like to distribute the reward points evenly as before?”
“Yes.”
Wang Luoqiu nodded.
This time, they cooperatively killed three independent cultivators, each garnering five thousand five hundred points. This was just enough for her to exchange for the Cultivation Method, “True Martial Body Tempering Mantra (Level Three)” and the corresponding spiritual medicine for tempering the body. Her “True Martial Body Tempering Mantra” can now advance to the third level.
When she first joined the Academic Palace, her master Xuan Yao noticed that her awakened bloodline was special; her War Body bloodline was slanted towards the element of Primordial Water. So, apart from the cultivation technique “Mysterious Void True Verses” as her main cultivation, he also selected another supplementary body tempering technique known as “True Martial Body Tempering Mantra” for her.
The “True Martial Body Tempering Mantra” consists of nine levels, and it’s said that after reaching full mastery, one would possess a physical strength equivalent to that of a divine treasure.
However, due to a late start and shorter practice time, she has so far only cultivated to the second level and is not particularly powerful yet.
If she could break through to the third level this time, her physical strength could be compared to a typical spiritual artifact. Then, even without using any weapons, she could break mountains and split stones with her bare hands.
As her thoughts flew swiftly, the manager disciple of Thousand Autumn Palace had already transferred the reward points into their identity cards.
Wang Luoqiu thanked the manager disciple and left the Thousand Autumn Palace with Wang Luo Jing.
“I’m going to the Pill Hall to exchange for some Large Solid Yuan Pills for cultivation practice,” spoke Wang Luo Jing, who was always succinct. Although the family would send some Large Solid Yuan Pills every year, they were still insufficient to cover the cost of accelerated cultivation.
“I won’t be joining you.” said Wang Luoqiu, “I will go to the Mysterious Ice Palace to find Zongsheng, then head back to Leisure Peak. Uncle Yong will be here in two days. I need to hand over the spiritual artifacts and cultivation techniques collected from those three to Zongsheng so he can send them back to our clan and exchange them for family contribution points.”
Although the Academic Palace also recycles spiritual artifacts and cultivation techniques, the palace wasn’t particularly in need of them, and their quoted price was lower than the market price. In contrast, their clan was in a booming developmental stage and lacked resources, so these spiritual artifacts and techniques could be sent back to increase the clan’s power.
Of course, their share of the family contributions wouldn’t be forgotten either.
Every time Uncle Yong arrived, he would bring along the spirit pills and pocket money provided by their clan, and they could also exchange their saved family contributions for various items according to their needs.
On the whole, this was their way of giving back to the clan.
As they were speaking, they were about to split up at the square.
Suddenly, a piece of news shocked them both.
Some of the newly arrived disciples around them were discussing an incident that had just occurred.
The two sisters initially paid no attention, but upon hearing a familiar name, they immediately stopped one of the disciples to ask: “What are you discussing?”
“Sister Luoqiu, Sister Luo Jing,” the disciple greeted respectfully before explaining: “I just heard about it too. Apparently, Senior Brother Yu Hang from the Tian Lake School of Primordial Water returned about two hours ago. It’s said that he was severely injured on the foreign battlefield and was almost dead when he was brought back. Master Primordial Water specifically invited Master Changchun to treat him.”
“I see. You may go now~”
Wang Luoqiu nodded, dismissively waved the disciple away. However, her face was no longer as relaxed as before.
Senior Brother Yu Hang was the second senior brother of the Tian Lake School and one of Master Primordial Water’s most valued disciples, with a cultivation base at the advanced stage of the Heavenly Human Realm.
Although she had never met him, his reputation was well known in the Academic Palace, with many disciples admiring him like an idol.
However, she never expected that her first opportunity to see Senior Brother Yu Hang would be under such circumstances.
This foreign battlefield…
“Something must have happened on the foreign battlefield.” Wang Luo Jing also shared her concern, speaking with a serious look on her face.
“Unfortunately, since I’m only at the Spirit Platform Realm, even if I ask, our master probably won’t tell.” Wang Luoqiu frowned, torn between frustration at her own lack of power and worry about the possible happenings on the foreign battlefield.
Having been at the Academic Palace for many years, she knew well the significance of the foreign battlefield. Any changes could potentially affect the entire human society.
She hated her own powerlessness, unable to do anything about it.
“Either way, let’s head to Tian Lake School first to check things out~” Wang Luo Jing suggested. “We also need to gather some information to prepare for the future.”
“Okay.”
Wang Luoqiu nodded, not arguing with Luo Jing for once. This matter was affecting her s well. It wasn’t until she came to the Academic Palace that she realized the world was far more complex than she had thought.
