Chapter 1238 The Bitter Orders of the Mortal Realm, Long Uncomplaining

A few hours later.

Just as the shopkeeper had hoped.

He did indeed receive the commendation and reward.

And he received far more than he had expected.

Much, much more.

But when he looked at the seat where Ling Wuyuan had been sitting, and the chef who had been pulled over to explain the detailed cooking methods to Ling Wuyuan, a certain indescribable doubt still welled up in his heart.

He himself doesn't quite understand what his current strength is.

He only knew that he was now very, very strong, far stronger than before.

He still couldn't understand what had just happened, why a dazzling golden light had suddenly descended, enveloping the distinguished guest who had been granted power...

The same reason.

As the head chef of [Lixianglou].

The person next to him was even more bewildered than he was.

Even now, I am still silently pondering who I am, where I am, and what I am doing, completely unable to comprehend the current situation.

Apart from the two of them.

The other people in the room, such as the maids who were originally responsible for serving tea and water and playing music, also received appropriate rewards.

Said without politeness.

Although they have no idea just how strong they are now.

But they now possess at least the strength equivalent to ordinary cadres of various large local forces.

Even though they are still nothing compared to the strong, this change in strength is a leap forward, enough to completely change their lives and make them truly superior people...

finally.

After exchanging a few glances.

The people present looked at each other in bewilderment and fell into silence.

However, this silence did not last long.

soon.

As footsteps began to appear one after another.

One after another, new figures appeared directly in the room.

The leader among them was the owner of [Lixianglou] and the lord of [Qingbai Island].

After entering the room.

The other party couldn't help but be slightly taken aback when they looked at the shopkeeper and the others.

"what's the situation?"

"How did your strength suddenly increase so much?"

Although everyone's strength is still far from his level, it's no exaggeration to say that everyone in the room is quite capable.

Especially the shopkeeper and the head chef.

These two guys are incapable of being accountants and cooks.

Even if one were to join his troops as a general, that would be more than enough; one could easily attain a fairly high rank.

However, as their superior and someone who had recently come to inspect the area, the island lord clearly remembered the actual level of these two people's cultivation... While they weren't exactly hopeless, they were at best barely passable.

however.

See you today.

The two of them had reached a point where even he had to take them seriously.

This speed of progress truly exceeded the island owner's expectations...

Even his son, who was quite talented and whom he had carefully nurtured, was far inferior.

Hear the words.

After exchanging a glance with the head chef, the innkeeper immediately decided to tell the whole story...

then.

The island owner's expression also changed constantly.

Not long after.

His expression completely changed to one of disbelief.

"You mean... the other party just casually pointed a finger and forcibly elevated you to this level of strength?" His voice was full of doubt.

Although he had considered that the truth was actually some kind of pill, a special pill that could forcibly enhance strength but would severely damage one's foundation, so it was usually only suitable for ordinary people, he never thought that Ling Wuyuan had just casually pointed at them.

and.

According to the shopkeeper and others.

The whole thing happened extremely fast.

It happened so fast that before they even understood what was going on, it was already over.

This situation implies that, if the other party is willing, they can most likely create cultivators of this level at will.

You must understand, this is a level that even a highly talented cultivator, with ample resources, would need to dedicate themselves to cultivation for decades or even centuries to reach...

In the mortal realm, it wouldn't be considered weak by any power.

Now, however, it can be learned quickly on the spot.

It can even be a group-based, rapid learning program with virtually no cost.

How could the island owner possibly believe that?

But the truth will not change because of his doubts.

"Correct."

Listening to his subordinate's reply.

The island owner suddenly felt a sense of existential unease.

'damn it……'

'Does this mean that a country bumpkin like me, stuck on a deserted island, is already way behind the times?'

'Has the outside world actually developed to a point where I completely cannot understand it?'

at the same time.

He was also very keenly aware of this.

It is about to be a host of exceptionally powerful guests, or rather, the island itself.

After all, the guy who ascended to heaven here before was definitely very special...

As the last place the other party appeared, this island inevitably attracts many people.

And the subsequent developments were indeed as the island owner had predicted.

Later that day, a group of powerful individuals quickly came to their door.

In front of those guys, even someone as powerful as the island lord could only stand like a lackey.

As for those whose strength had been forcibly increased by Ling Wuyuan, they were like terrified quails, utterly powerless to resist.

of course.

The group of people, mindful of their status, had no interest in making things difficult for the cooks, maids, etc. They simply checked everyone's condition repeatedly.

"Incredible..."

"It's fine that no pills were used."

"It's amazing that there haven't been any aftereffects... Such skill is almost divinely inspired."

"Indeed, it's hard to imagine that this level was forcibly raised in such a short time; it's simply unbelievable..."

"That guy might actually be an ancient demon resurrected."

Fortunately, he finally passed away.

"In recent years, he has practically ransacked the secret vaults of various sects..."

The tone was quite complex, a mixture of amazement, shock, and relief.

no way.

Since Ling Wuyuan successfully advanced to the [Ascension Realm].

Even when he wandered around the libraries and treasure vaults of various factions, he decided whether or not to conceal himself based on his mood.

This situation directly led to his behavior being described in a way that could often only be described as "straightforward".

Dynasties, sects, clans...

Regardless of the target's strength or origin, when he's too lazy to conceal his presence, his choice is always to directly attack the target's forces, then publicly beat the entire force to their knees and beg for mercy, forcing them to obediently hand over their treasures...

That was blatant brute force!

Faced with such a simple and brutal approach, how can any party or force withstand it?

It's simply unbearable!!
All I can say is that I have suffered under Ling Wuyuan's tyranny for far too long.
