Chapter 2399: Chapter 2309: Gift of Pills

Upon hearing this, Golden Cicada sighed:

"During the last alien siege, Daoist Luo was unfortunately ambushed and fell while being surrounded by four Integration Realm experts from the three major alien races."

Zhou Yu was quite surprised upon hearing this.

He knew that there were Integration Realm experts who had fallen during the alien siege.

Unexpectedly, it was a cultivator with the surname Luo.

It’s known that cultivators who break through from the Lower Plane are often much stronger than cultivators of the same Realm.

Not to mention that this Luo cultivator had already reached the Integration Realm.

However, Golden Cicada also mentioned that four Integration Realm experts were dispatched to ambush him.

Indeed, it was inevitable.

At this moment, Golden Cicada continued:

"Daoist Zhou refused Elder Qi’s invitation, so one might assume his ambitions are not centered around Fengyuan City."

"Even though the hope is slim, I still wish to invite Daoist Zhou in person once more, to please join our Elder Council of Fengyuan City, not for anything else, but at least to secure more resources for cultivators from our Lower Plane."

"If Daoist Zhou could join, the situation for cultivators breaking through from the Lower Plane would greatly improve."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu took a deep breath and said:

"Daoist Jin, I am sorry, but I still cannot agree."

"Actually, I won’t stay in Fengyuan City for long before I leave here."

"The path I cultivate strictly avoids creating too much cause and effect with others."

"So, I can only disappoint Daoist Jin."

How could Golden Cicada not see Zhou Yu’s determined Dao heart?

He knew that such a person as Zhou Yu, once decided, was almost unshakeable.

Golden Cicada chuckled bitterly:

"Well then."

"Since Daoist Zhou is unwilling, I won’t insist."

"But, we are all from the Lower Plane. Even if we can’t join the Elder Council together, we can still be friends."

"If Daoist Zhou needs anything, feel free to find me."

"In Fengyuan City, I still have some influence."

Zhou Yu immediately clasped his fist:

"Then I thank Daoist Jin."

Afterward, the two tacitly stopped discussing the matter of joining.

Instead, they shifted to exchanging cultivation insights.

At their Realm, once they began sharing, time flew by.

By the time their exchange ended, three days and nights had passed.

Golden Cicada said with a face full of lingering interest:

"I didn’t expect that even though Daoist Zhou just recently entered the Integration Realm, his understanding of Dao far surpasses mine."

"It truly makes me feel quite ashamed."

This exchange benefited him more than he could have imagined.

This was what Golden Cicada had never anticipated.

He initially intended to use the exchange of experience as bait to invite Zhou Yu once more.

But after exchanging, he couldn’t bring himself to mention it again.

Meanwhile, the regret in his heart grew deeper.

Zhou Yu’s talent far exceeded his imagination.

If Zhou Yu could join, given time, the group of cultivators breaking through from the Lower Plane would undoubtedly shine brightly and hold power.

What a pity...

In reluctant farewell, Golden Cicada said goodbye to Zhou Yu and then left.

After Golden Cicada left, several Integration Realm experts visited one after another.

Their intentions were nearly the same.

Ultimately, all of them were turned down by Zhou Yu.

Helplessly, they could only leave.

Half a month later.

Zhou Yu was in seclusion cultivating.

Suddenly, his eyes opened, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Here it comes."

Shortly after his words fell, there was a sound from outside the pavilion.

Shopkeeper Ma’s voice was heard.

"Senior Zhou, following your instructions, someone has come looking for you, and I have brought her."

In the next moment, Zhou Yu’s voice rang out.

"Daoist Xu, please come in."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ling immediately bowed respectfully toward the pavilion and then walked in.

And Shopkeeper Ma sensibly retreated out.

Once Xu Ling was inside, she immediately saw Zhou Yu.

At the instant she saw Zhou Yu, Xu Ling’s eyes still filled with a look of disbelief.

Yesterday, she returned from patrol.

The first thing was to receive news that Zhou Yu had come looking for her.

Upon learning that the former Captain Zhou had become an Integration Realm senior.

Xu Ling could hardly believe her ears.

However, too many people had witnessed it firsthand, leaving her no choice but to believe.

But even so, before seeing Zhou Yu, she still had some doubts.

And now, as she truly saw Zhou Yu.

All those doubts dissipated completely.

The aura emanating from Zhou Yu indeed reached beyond the Integration Realm.

Xu Ling immediately bowed again.

"Captain Zhou... Senior Zhou."

Zhou Yu smiled slightly.

"Daoist Xu, no need for formality."

"Calling me Captain Zhou is also fine."

Xu Ling hurriedly bowed and said:

"I mustn’t."

"Senior is senior."

"A hundred years ago, when senior suddenly disappeared, I was deeply worried about senior’s safety."

"I even sought others to inquire about senior’s whereabouts, but unfortunately, without any news."

"Now that senior has safely returned and achieved Integration Realm, I am sincerely happy for senior."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu smiled.

"I see Daoist Xu has also reached the Peak of Divinity Transformation Realm Early Stage."

"Just a step away from entering the Divine Transformation Realm Middle Stage." ℴ

"Congratulations are in order."

Xu Ling smiled bitterly:

"Senior overpraises me."

"Compared to senior, I’m far behind."

Zhou Yu smiled and then raised his hand.

Two Jade Bottles flew toward Xu Ling.

Xu Ling was taken aback and then caught the Jade Bottles.

"What is this?"

Zhou Yu smiled:

"Open and see!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ling immediately took a deep breath and opened one of the Jade Bottles.

Soon after, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted outward.

Inside, there were exactly one hundred pills.

And Xu Ling immediately identified them.

These pills were all for enhancing the cultivation of the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Moreover, the quality of the pills was extremely high.

Xu Ling couldn’t believe that Zhou Yu, at a single stroke, granted her so many pills.

These pills were enough for her to cultivate to the Peak of Divinity Transformation Realm.

The value of these pills is simply immeasurable.

If auctioned, it would likely fetch a price of over a hundred billion.

Moreover, they are very rare and hard to find.

At this moment, Xu Ling’s fingers were trembling as she opened the second Jade Bottle.

Inside the second Jade Bottle, there were only ten pills.

Yet, these ten pills once again left Xu Ling astonished.

"This is... Void Breaking Pill!"

Xu Ling looked excitedly at Zhou Yu.

She was very familiar with the so-called Void Breaking Pill.

It is the best auxiliary pill for Divinity Transformation Realm cultivators to breakthrough bottlenecks.

One pill can increase breakthrough success probability by one-tenth.

And in this Jade Bottle, there are ten pills.

This means as long as she can cultivate to the Peak of Divinity Transformation Realm, she can ensure a hundred percent breakthrough to reach the Void Refinement Realm.

This fortune is unimaginably great.

Xu Ling never dared to dream of this.

She was immensely excited.

However, she immediately forced herself to calm down.

Xu Ling took a deep breath and looked at Zhou Yu.

"Senior Zhou, you bestow upon Xu Ling such priceless treasures, I am tremendously grateful, but truly, I dare not accept them."

"Xu Ling ventures to ask, what is the purpose of senior seeking me?"
