Chapter 70: The City Lord's Concubine (12)
Shen Yao began to understand where these people's respect for her came from. After all, it was all Fu Hengyan's work.
Fu Hengyan acted like she took herself too seriously, so much so that a group of servants, including housekeeper Zhou, all paid more attention to her when she first entered the mansion.
Well, there's nothing wrong with this. It's better for Fu Hengyan to value me than for him to ignore me.
After entering the City Lord's Mansion, the worst case scenario Shen Yao faced was a cultivation version of a palace fighting drama with a group of women. The more respectful the servants in the City Lord's Mansion were to her, the easier it would be for her to gain a foothold in the City Lord's Mansion.
After turning a few corners, we passed several beautiful moon arches.
Shen Yao came to Xuanru Garden, which was always praised by Butler Zhou.
As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, Shen Yao felt the spiritual energy fluctuations that were several times stronger than outside.
"Is there a spirit gathering array set up underneath?" Shen Yao asked, his eyes lightly sweeping over everything in front of him.
Just as Butler Zhou said, Xuanru Garden was indeed better than any other place she had passed by.
It’s not just because the courtyard is full of spiritual energy, but also because there are spiritual flowers and herbs everywhere in the courtyard.
The spiritual fruits and plants mentioned by Butler Zhou are planted in the small gardens on both sides.
Butler Zhou nodded, his chubby face looked like a wrinkled bun because of his smile.
"Madam, you have good eyesight. The spirit gathering array below was set up by the city lord himself. It covers the entire courtyard. Madam, your daily cultivation can be accelerated several times."
Butler Zhou was very envious. To be honest, no one in the entire City Lord's Mansion, including Yanqing Pavilion where the City Lord lived, had such treatment.
Even though the new lady is only at the Qi Refining stage, she is valued by the city lord and will soon reach the Foundation Establishment stage.
Butler Zhou took Shen Yao on a brief tour of Xuanru Garden with a smile.
Neither of them thought there was anything strange about doing this. After all, in the world of cultivation, the form of marriage is really not that important, and there are no rules like those in the mortal world.
"…Madam, I have to return to the front yard immediately to report to the city lord.
If Madam has anything to do, please ask the servants in Xuanru Garden to inform me."
After Butler Zhou finished speaking, he clapped his hands again, and two young girls dressed in maids' clothes and with double buns came out of the door.
"Your servant Bai Wei greets Madam."
"Your servant Bai Mei greets Madam."
Shen Yao waved her hand indifferently, and smiled to signal Butler Zhou to go and do whatever he wanted, as she had Bai Wei and Bai Mei to serve her, so there was nothing to do for the time being.
"The villain resigns"
"Slow down, housekeeper Zhou"
After watching Butler Zhou leave, Shen Yao focused her attention on Bai Wei and Bai Mei, who were only at the third level of cultivation, and said, "You two, follow me in."
Bai Wei and Bai Mei nodded in unison, "Yes"
Compared with the shocking scene outside the courtyard, the layout and furnishings in the room are simpler and more low-key.
Shen Yao sat in front of the dressing table and motioned Bai Wei and Bai Mei to come over to help her fix her makeup and change her clothes.
Bai Wei, Bai Mei: ...
"Why, is the city lord coming over tonight?" Shen Yao raised her eyebrows. Just from the attentive introduction given by Butler Zhou when he came over, Shen Yao could guess that Fu Hengyan would not show up in the short term.
Bai Wei and Bai Wei were so scared that they quickly shook their heads, and Bai Wei was obviously the dominant one among the two.
In just saying a few words, Bai Mei had already glanced at Bai Wei several times.
Tsk, it’s a bit silly, but surprisingly easy to understand.
"Madam, the city lord has been in seclusion for training recently, and he won't be out for half a month at the earliest."
After Bai Wei finished speaking, she turned around and brought a wooden box placed on the Eight Immortals Table to Shen Yao. "This is something the City Lord specifically instructed. Only Madam can open the restrictions on it."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yao smiled and put the wooden box into her storage ring. Then she sat upright and asked Bai Wei and Bai Mei to help her remove her makeup and wash up.
This time, Bai Wei and Bai Mei did not hesitate. They stepped forward and tidied things up for Shen Yao. Before Shen Yao asked any questions, Bai Wei took the initiative to speak and briefly described the situation in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion.
Different from what Butler Zhou said, Bai Wei mainly talked about the situation of the female members of the City Lord's Mansion.
It was not surprising to Shen Yao that Fu Hengyan was the newly appointed Lord of Yunwu City. Apart from him, Shen Yao was the only half-master in the entire mansion.
Fu Hengyan currently has no Taoist partner, let alone concubines. Shen Yao is the first one. As for whether she will be the last one, Bai Wei looked at the beautiful woman in the bronze mirror, pursed her lips, and felt that the probability was very high.
The city lord must like the lady very much. As long as the lady can win the city lord's heart, even if other women enter the city lord's mansion in the future, it will not affect the lady.
Shen Yao had no idea that Bai Wei could make so many associations after just a few words.
However, it must be said that Shen Yao was very satisfied with Fu Hengyan's financial situation.
I hope that their future interactions (cooperations) will be as pleasant as they were in Yunwu Mountain.
After all, they still have to stay together and raise a child. It would be hard to bear if they get tired of each other.
After changing into a light yellow fairy dress embroidered with gold thread, Shen Yao tied her hair slightly behind her head. She stood up and signaled Bai Wei and Bai Mei that they could leave.
"I'll find you if I need anything."
"Yes, the slaves retire."
The door was closed again, and Shen Yao walked to the Eight Immortals Table and took out the wooden box that she had put in the storage ring.
The vibration coming from the wooden box was very familiar, the same as the storage ring in front of him.
Shen Yao pinched her hands and made hand gestures to remove the restrictions and opened the wooden box.
whoosh-
A sound transmission talisman flew out of the wooden box. Shen Yao's eyes became fierce, but before she could make a move, Fu Hengyan's unique voice floated out from the sound transmission talisman.
Fu Hengyan spoke briefly, just explaining the things in the wooden box. He also said that he might come out of seclusion someday, and asked her to take the opportunity to practice hard and break through the late stage of Qi Refining as soon as possible, which would be beneficial for their future contact.
Shen Yao: ...Huh?
Is there any need for her level of cultivation to have anything to do with Fu Hengyan's daily contact? Does Fu Hengyan disdain to associate with people with low cultivation? Didn't they get along well when they were in Yunwu Mountain before?
Shen Yao couldn't understand Fu Hengyan's train of thought at all. She looked at the sound transmission note that spontaneously ignited without fire after transmitting the sound, shook her head and continued to check the things in the wooden box.
Then, Shen Yao couldn't help but blush!
Fu Hengyan!!!
Cough, cough, cough
Unable to hold back a cough, Shen Yao looked at the jade slip in her hand and felt too embarrassed to continue putting it on her forehead.
Who could have thought that the handsome and elegant Fu Hengyan would actually give her a set of legendary dual cultivation secrets.
Well, it’s still the extremely improper kind, similar to the kind that replenishes yin by taking yang.
Shen Yao: ...blushing, ashamed!
Even Shen Yao, who had experience in several mission worlds and considered herself a veteran, was shocked by Fu Hengyan's magical operation.
This thing would be considered evil if kept in the Hehuan Sect, so how could Fu Hengyan give it to her?
Not understanding Fu Hengyan's thoughts, Shen Yao first fanned herself with her hands to calm herself down, then closed her eyes and continued to check with a fearless attitude.
About a quarter of an hour later, Shen Yao opened her eyes with a look of relief.
So that's why, it was all because of her cultivation. She was scared to death, and thought that Fu Hengyan wanted to train her to be an evil cultivator.
You should know that in addition to the righteous cultivators, there are also demon cultivators, evil cultivators, devil cultivators, etc. in Xuantian Continent.
As the name suggests, demon cultivators and devil cultivators are humans or half-humans who have demon blood and practice demon spells. Pure demons are also considered; devil cultivators are creatures that use devil energy as the source of their cultivation. Devil energy is naturally opposed to spiritual energy, and once contaminated by it, they will no longer have normal consciousness. Calling them devil cultivators is just for the sake of unified name. People in the world of cultivation prefer to call them monsters.
Evil cultivators are completely different from the above two types. They are not the devil cultivators who do all kinds of bad things and are regarded as the cancer of the world of cultivation. They are also not the monster cultivators whose animal nature prevails and they will go berserk from time to time. They are just some cultivators who have taken the wrong path, some of them cannot stand the light, and are caught between black and white, belonging to the gray area.
The mental method of "The Secret of Extreme Bliss and Happiness" that Fu Hengyan gave her fell into the category of evil cultivation.
There is nothing wrong with Shen Yao practicing it. If she only uses it on Fu Hengyan, then it can only be said to be a hobby between the two of them. But once she uses it on other people, it is evil practice and she will be locked up and punished if caught.
As for why Fu Hengyan taught this method to Shen Yao, it was because it was too difficult for Shen Yao to break through the foundation by normal means with her cultivation level. It would be more convenient and quicker to replenish Yin by absorbing Yang.
Well, Fu Hengyan very calmly let Shen Yao learn how to use himself as a tool.
Shen Yao: ...Although, I really don’t know what to say.
It was the first time that Shen Yao had seen a Taoist partner with such a train of thought. She could only sigh that Fu Hengyan was indeed a sword cultivator, as he was so single-minded and never turned aside.
But since it is useful, she might as well practice it first. After all, she has such a great treasure as Fu Hengyan, so of course she has to make good use of it.
In addition to the Extreme Bliss Secret that shocked Shen Yao, the wooden box also contained several bottles of pills.
After opening it, Shen Yao smelled the familiar fragrance wafting from the pill and realized that this was the barrier-breaking pill used to break through.
This body had used one before when it wanted to break through from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the seventh level, but unfortunately it didn't work. And that forced breakthrough was the direct reason why Shen Yao was able to travel to this body.
Now there are several times more Barrier Breaking Pills. Shen Yao clenched her palms and still did not try it directly. She planned to practice the sixth level of Qi Refining to perfection first, so that she would have a greater chance of successful breakthrough.
Having finally come to the world of cultivation, Shen Yao really doesn't want to live only a hundred or eighty years and then die of old age.
The Xuantian Continent is so huge, and the Xuanwei Realm is even larger than the Xuantian Continent. She wants to visit it if she has the chance, just to broaden her horizons.
This time, her spiritual roots and qualifications are insufficient, but it does not mean that she will be so unlucky every time in the future. If one day, she can become a god or an immortal... Stop, don't think too much.
Her suddenly agitated heart calmed down in an instant. Shen Yao smiled, exhaled, turned around, took out the cushion from the storage ring, closed her eyes and practiced.
……
There is no time in cultivation, time has passed quickly
Fu Hengyan came out of seclusion a few days later than the mentioned half-month period.
But despite this, when Fu Hengyan came to Xuanru Garden where Shen Yao was, he learned from Bai Wei and Bai Mei that Shen Yao's retreat had not yet ended.
Looking up and seeing the huge spiritual energy that was gathering in Xuanru Garden more and more densely, Fu Hengyan knew that Shen Yao was making a breakthrough.
This is good. If Shen Yao can successfully break through to the late stage of Qi Refining using the elixir he left behind, then things will go much more smoothly next time.
After instructing Bai Wei and Bai Mei to guard the courtyard, Fu Hengyan turned and left.
After this departure, another half month passed.
Xuanru Garden was still peaceful, the only disturbance was the constantly surging spiritual energy around it.
Bai Wei and Bai Mei waited at the door three times a day, but unfortunately Shen Yao never came out.
Just when the two were about to give up, the tightly closed door of the room was suddenly pushed open.
Shen Yao appeared in front of Bai Wei and Bai Mei with her clothes fluttering.
"I congratulate Madam on breaking through to the late stage of Qi Refining."
Bai Wei's eyes were shining brightly, and she quickly pulled Bai Mei over to congratulate her.
Shen Yao was in a very good mood after the breakthrough. She waved her hand and asked the two to stand up. She then asked what time it was.
Bai Wei replied, "Madam, it is already July 20th."
July 20? Then I have been in seclusion for nearly two months.
"Where is the city lord? Has he ever been here?"
Bai Mei glanced at Bai Wei and whispered, "The city lord came here once at the end of June, when the lady was in seclusion.
The city lord only asked the two of us to guard the courtyard and then left. "
Bai Wei then added, "The city lord left the city lord's mansion in mid-July. I asked housekeeper Zhou, and he said that the city lord would return around the end of this month."
Seeing that Shen Yao did not interrupt their conversation, Bai Wei and Bai Mei simply reported everything that had happened in the City Lord's Mansion during this period.
Shen Yao listened patiently, nodded and said, "Go and ask someone to prepare some food.
I will tell Butler Zhou about my release later."
When Fu Hengyan comes back, Butler Zhou will tell him.
Bai Wei and Bai Mei nodded in response, "We understand."
After Shen Yao finished talking to the two people, she did not return to the room immediately, but walked around the courtyard.
The spiritual plants and fruits in the courtyard were growing well, and Shen Yao even used her wood spiritual power to connect some of them.
Not to mention, wood spiritual roots are indeed very suitable for doing some work of raising spiritual flowers and herbs.
Because the wood spirit roots are close to nature, the spiritual energy emanating from Shen Yao's body can be more easily absorbed by these plants.
Looking at the lush green courtyard in front of her, Shen Yao decided to learn alchemy after she broke through the foundation-building stage.
Compared to drawing talismans and refining weapons, her spiritual roots are more suitable for dealing with plants.
It just so happens that alchemist is a good profession. If you study hard, you may find it useful in any world in the future.
When Bai Wei and Bai Mei brought the prepared spiritual soup, Shen Yao sat back at the Eight Immortals Table and carefully tasted the cooking skills of the City Lord's Mansion.
I don’t know if it’s the special spiritual effect of the spiritual material, or the taste of the spiritual soup itself.
This meal made Shen Yao overeat. Fortunately, the spiritual energy contained in the food was mild and it was mainly nourishing after entering the body. Otherwise, Shen Yao's meridians that had just been opened up would be widened again.
He has made great progress in his cultivation, has enough food and clothing, and is also half the owner of the City Lord's Mansion.
Shen Yao's life in the City Lord's Mansion was simply too good.
Taking advantage of the time when Fu Hengyan had not returned yet, Shen Yao toured the entire City Lord's Mansion.
It must be said that the luxury of the City Lord's Mansion is several times more luxurious than the Shen family's land.
Shen Yao would sigh every day that living in the City Lord's Mansion was extremely happy.
On the first day of August, the second day after Fu Hengyan returned home, he showed up on time at Xuanru Garden where Shen Yao was.
