Chapter 1648 - 932: Zhang Yu Is Here, I’ll Join You

"Can I send a message? Just one, to let him know I’m safe."

"I can provide the specific content of the message for your review. Once you agree, I’ll send it."

Yue Qinglan glanced at Lian Zizi beside her. Lian Zizi pondered for a moment and said, "Write it first. Whether or not we’ll send it needs further discussion."

Yue Qinglan privately asked, "Really let her send it to Zhang Yu?"

Lian Zizi said calmly, "How could we? Zhang Yu holds a high position now. He might have long forgotten this lowly being. Letting Le Mulan send a message would only remind him."

"However, we could let her write a few messages first and see what she really wants to say."

"If there’s a need in the future, we might send it to Zhang Yu ourselves."

...

Inside Zhang Yu’s Immortal Cave Heaven.

The "Yu Shu" was flipped to the Dao Seed Chart section.

The [Deep Cold Magical Vein] belonging to Le Mulan... at this moment, it was surprisingly upgraded to Level 5.

Zhang Yu suddenly realized; clearly, Le Mulan has been continuously receiving investment and cultivation from pharmaceutical companies, causing the Dao Seed to upgrade.

"I remember that upgrading to Level 5 [Deep Cold Magical Vein]... requires Divinity Transformation level mana."

Reflecting on several past exchanges with Le Mulan, Zhang Yu thought, "It means Le Mulan, under continuous investment and cultivation, has broken through from Nascent Soul to Divinity Transformation this year?"

"They’ve not only given resources but also found ways to promote her rank. They really do value Le Mulan."

And as Zhang Yu began to comprehend the effects of [Deep Sea Magical Vein]’s upgrade to Level 5, his heart churned.

"Such an effect?"

Bu Yingshu, who was cultivating with Zhang Yu, quickly noticed something was amiss and said, "Yu Zi! Focus, don’t get distracted!"

Zhang Yu sighed and said, "Lord Bu Xuan, I have some matters to attend to. I need to step away for a bit."

Sensing the Deep Cold mana circulating within, Zhang Yu thought, "Level 5 [Deep Cold Magical Vein] can freeze Primordial Spirit and Will, extend the life of Soul Cultivators, truly..."

Upon confirming this effect, Zhang Yu instantly saw the potential and benefits within.

Especially the part about extending the life of Soul Cultivators...

"Freezing Primordial Spirit, freezing Will, it seems impressive and advanced, effective on high-level cultivators, but in terms of Kunxu’s structure, it’s not as impactful as the ability to extend the life of Soul Cultivators."

"Extending the life of Soul Cultivators... if it can be widely promoted, it’s something that can alter industry dynamics, commercial patterns, affecting markets of hundreds of billions or even trillions, impacting Dao disputes."

And upon realizing that this Dao Seed ability is currently in the hands of Le Mulan, who just broke through to Divinity Transformation Realm, Zhang Yu felt the enormous risk behind it.

"I wonder if the pharmaceutical companies have discovered the life-extending effect on Soul Cultivators after [Deep Cold Magical Vein] upgraded."

"Once discovered, Le Mulan surely..."

Based on Zhang Yu’s understanding of Kunxu, once the pharmaceutical companies uncover its secrets, just for the sake of profit... turning Le Mulan into ’Le Mulan Sauce’ seems effortless.

Upon hearing Zhang Yu needing to step away temporarily, Bu Yingshu frowned and said, "What could be so important? We’re only halfway through, and you want to leave?!"

This moment made Bu Yingshu very displeased.

Zhang Yu said, "I have a friend who’s grown alongside me from the first level. She seems to be under pressure from the pharmaceutical companies, and I want to help her out."

Hearing this, Bu Yingshu became even more displeased. A lowly being from the first level? That’s considered a reason? Deserving to interrupt our matters?

An overwhelming Tribulation Crossing Realm pressure swept in, seemingly pressing hard onto Zhang Yu.

Feeling this change, Bai Zhenzhen, who was immersed in a cycle of extreme emotion, sorrow, ecstasy, and shock, suddenly woke up.

Bai Zhenzhen urgently transmitted a message to Zhang Yu: "Yu Zi, Bu Yingshu is easily deceived but hard to negotiate. Instead of telling her the truth, it’s easier to deceive her."

A quick exchange of transmitted messages ensued between them. Bai Zhenzhen rapidly recalled the teachings of Fu Ji and, combining the current situation, continued, "Yu Zi, try as I say..."

Listening to Bai Zhenzhen’s words, Zhang Yu thought internally, "Azhen, since practicing the Extreme Emotion Sword Technique, has truly become even more..."

Zhang Yu spoke up, "Lord Bu Xuan, living for you, dying for you; my subordinates... they may not know, but they were born to support you."

"Those pharmaceutical guys know they’re dealing with my people, and know I’m your person. I’m worried they’re attempting to affect your Immortal Road."

"I’ll go to investigate first, and wait for my news here..."

Hearing the first half of Zhang Yu’s words, Bu Yingshu immediately felt a lot more at ease. Listening to the latter half, a thought suddenly flashed across her mind.

"Indeed, Zhang Yu is my little pet, so his little pets are also the little pets of my little pet."

"Pharmaceutical companies bullying my little pet’s little pet, could it really be aimed at me?"

If it were someone else, Bu Yingshu might not easily believe this.

But looking at Zhang Yu before her, she couldn’t help but believe a little.

Zhang Yu risked so much to support me, releasing my restraints, even Bu Yuan Gui said Zhang Yu forsakes the path of becoming an Immortal, could Zhang Yu lie to me?

So upon hearing Zhang Yu wanting to investigate further, Bu Yingshu directly said, "Wait, tell me who you’re helping, and I’ll check it out first."

Zhang Yu said, "Her name is Le Mulan..."

Bu Yingshu nodded, arrogantly said, "Wait, let me see what’s going on. Remember, these pharmaceutical companies are also operating on Wanfa Sect’s land."
