Simultaneous travel: I am a talented person in all the worlds

Chapter 505 Silver Essence Ore
Manager Fu Chang led the way with humility, following closely behind, always respectfully trailing half a body length behind, not daring to even breathe loudly.

He led the two into a luxurious mansion.

With its carved beams and painted rafters, winding streams and floating wine cups, the servants and maids coming and going in the mansion were all of dignified appearance and beautiful looks.

When they saw the usually domineering master being so respectful to two young boys and girls who had not yet come of age, they were immediately terrified, knowing that a very important person with a powerful background had arrived. They all lowered their heads and bowed, not daring to look up.

Dong Xuan'er had never traveled far from home since childhood. Although she was pampered by her aunt and her fellow disciples fawned over her, she had never experienced such a chilling awe that came purely from power and position.

This feeling of being a "superior person," whose every word and action could determine the life and death of ordinary people and silence powerful figures, gave her proud young heart an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and expansion at this moment.

In a daze, she seemed to have become a great person like her aunt.

However, after the initial excitement, she knew clearly that she was just using someone else's power to intimidate her and was completely incapable of handling the complicated situation before her.

So she kept stealing glances at the tall, stern-faced boy walking at the front.

She imitated her senior brother's actions, suppressing her usual coquettishness and putting on a stern face, which made her look quite intimidating.

Fu Chang's back was already soaked with cold sweat.

He racked his brains but still couldn't understand why the sect would send out two such monstrous little devils this time.

Based on his past experience, for such trivial matters, the higher-ups would send someone down to handle things, go through the motions, he would treat them well, prepare a generous gift, and everyone would "resolve" the matter amicably. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation for everyone?
Why do these two look like they're about to send me away?
The three of them walked through the corridor and entered a brightly lit banquet hall.

Inside the room, a table was already set with a dazzling array of delicacies, including rare fruits and fine wines.

Even more eye-catching were the more than ten beautiful maids standing in two rows with their hands at their sides.

Each of them was graceful and beautiful, dressed in light gauze that subtly outlined their exquisite curves, and the air was filled with a carefully blended, alluring fragrance.

Mo Yu, a mortal, glanced indifferently at the food and wine still steaming on the table.

It was obvious that this banquet, and all these beauties, were hastily arranged in a very short time after he gave the signal.

As for why it happened so quickly, it's likely that Fu Chang knew the sect would send someone over in the next few days, so he was prepared and just waiting for the person sent from above to come down.

Mo Yu walked to the main seat without any expression or politeness, lifted his robe, and sat down with an air of authority.

His gaze swept over the two rows of beautiful maids at the door:

"This is none of your business. You may all leave."

That majestic voice seemed to possess some kind of magic.

Upon hearing this, the two rows of maids didn't even dare to glance at Fu Chang, the true master of the place. Their bodies trembled in unison, and they hurriedly filed out, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Dong Xuan'er felt even more admiration for her senior brother.

She obediently walked to Mo Yu's side, chose the seat closest to him, and sat down, her beautiful eyes never leaving his profile.

Fu Chang's face was extremely pale at this moment, and he was about to pull out a chair at the end of the table to sit down.

Mo Yu, a mortal, suddenly raised his hand, pointed at Dong Xuan'er beside him, and slowly said:

"This is Junior Sister Xuan'er. Her aunt is the Core Formation Grandmaster of our sect, True Person Hong Fu."

Fu Chang's hand, which had just been gripping the back of the chair, trembled in fright, and he swayed so much that he almost lost his balance.

Grandmaster! A Core Formation expert!
The mortal Mo Yu, however, seemed oblivious to his embarrassment, and slowly pointed to himself, continuing:
"I, Mo Yu, am the newly accepted last disciple of Grandmaster Hong Fu. This mission is a test personally assigned to me by my master."

Sweat poured down Fu Chang's fat face, and he could only barely keep from collapsing to the ground by gripping the back of the chair tightly.

Finished!

He never expected that his trivial matter would alarm the Core Formation Ancestor, and even prompt the sect to send out two true little ancestors!
With his decades of experience navigating the world of fame and fortune, he almost instantly deciphered Mo Yu's subtext:

"I've just joined your sect, and this mission is the first test my Core Formation master has given me; its importance is self-evident. You'd better not resort to your underhanded tricks."

Right now, there's only one thing on my mind—how to do things well, perfectly, and to satisfy Master!

Compared to the importance and expectations of a Core Formation cultivator, the paltry benefits he could offer were utterly worthless!
Looking at the old steward who didn't even dare to sit down and stood there trembling like a leaf, Dong Xuan'er suddenly realized something: 'So...so the title of Aunt can be used like this!'

She had only known that her aunt was very powerful, but she had never imagined that just a title could exert such terrifying power.

After laying the groundwork, the mortal Mo Yu spoke calmly, "Tell me, what exactly is going on this time?"

He didn't utter a single threatening word, nor was his tone harsh.

But in Fu Chang's heart, that invisible pressure had already reached its limit.

After all, given the backgrounds of these two, even if they were to kill him at will today and mess things up, he would at most receive a reprimand when he returned to the sect.

After being thoroughly interrogated, he dared not be negligent in the slightest. He instantly suppressed all his ulterior motives and spilled the whole truth like beans from a bamboo tube:
"Reporting to the Immortal Master, beneath the mining area under my jurisdiction lies a vein of silver essence ore. Although the annual output is not large, as you two Immortal Masters know, this silver essence is an essential material for refining magical artifacts, and is extremely valuable."

"We have been secretly mining here for more than ten years. Because of the scarcity of the product, the ordinary miners below do not know what it is, so we have been living in peace."

But just a few days ago, the news somehow leaked out. The Five-Colored Sect bribed the government, forged a land deed for the mine, and aggressively attempted to forcibly seize the entire mine!

Dong Xuan'er frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask, "What is the origin of this Five Colors Sect? I've never heard of it before. Is there such a sect as the Five Colors Sect among the seven major sects of our Yue Kingdom?" Fu Chang looked embarrassed and was about to explain.

The mortal Mo Yu spoke up: "The Five Colors Sect is just a powerful mortal gang in Lanzhou. Behind it stands the Spirit Beast Mountain."

Upon hearing this, Dong Xuan'er's beautiful eyes revealed a look of understanding.

Fu Chang couldn't help but look at the young man in the main seat with renewed respect.

It was obvious that the delicate young girl was an innocent and overprotected young lady.

This young man, who had firmly controlled the situation from the very beginning, was a formidable character with strength, background, and cunning.

Suddenly, the pressure on him intensified, and he completely abandoned any remaining thoughts of deception.

Mo Yu's gaze, like two sharp swords, fell upon Fu Chang once more:
"Shouldn't the land deeds for the mineral deposits here be in the hands of our Yellow Maple Valley? Could it be that they just happened to expire and someone took advantage of the situation?"

Fu Chang was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand, his old face turning pale:
"Innocent, Immortal Master! How could I have made such a lowly mistake! When I took over the management of this place, I had already renewed the lease of the mining rights for this mine and even the entire mountain range for a hundred years with the government!"

"keep going."

Mo Yu, a mortal, squinted. "And then? Where is our land deed?"

Fu Chang swallowed hard, his face extremely pale, his voice barely audible:
"The land deed...the land deed was stolen."

"But it really isn't the fault of a villain!"

Seeing the unfriendly look in Mo Yu's eyes, he quickly tried to defend himself.

"This must have been done secretly by cultivators from Spirit Beast Mountain! Otherwise, how could those mortals have infiltrated my residence and stolen the land deed!"

After all, if this blame really falls on him, not only will he not be able to keep his current lucrative position, but his life itself will be in question.

Instead of directly convicting him, the mortal Mo Yu changed the subject:
"How many disciples of the Spirit Beast Mountain Sect are stationed in Lanzhou Prefecture? What are their cultivation levels?"

Fu Chang breathed a slight sigh of relief and quickly replied, "Reporting to the Immortal Master, as far as I know, there is a master at the eleventh level of Qi Refining stationed in the city year-round, as well as a disciple at the eighth level of Qi Refining and a disciple at the seventh level of Qi Refining. As for whether there are any more people secretly, I... I really don't know."

He racked his brains and then remembered an important piece of information: "That's right! There should also be a blue-scaled python with them! There are rumors that this beast is extremely ferocious. Several years ago, it swallowed a rogue cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining whole. It's terrifying!"

The mortal Mo Yu squinted and stared at him quietly for a long time.

Fu Chang felt a chill run down his spine from the look he was being given; cold sweat poured down his back, and he felt like his soul was about to leave his body.

Just as he was on the verge of collapse, Mo Yu finally spoke softly, "Alright, go down. There's nothing for you to do here."

"Yes! Yes! This humble servant takes his leave!"

Fu Chang felt as if he had been granted a pardon. After bowing respectfully, he quickly fled as if he were escaping.

Once again, only the two of them remained in the room.

The suffocating sense of oppression vanished instantly.

Dong Xuan'er could no longer contain herself; her beautiful peach blossom eyes sparkled with countless little stars as she looked at the boy beside her with adoration.
"Senior Brother Moyu, I never knew... you were this amazing!"

The mortal Mo Yu simply rolled his eyes, his domineering and imposing aura vanishing instantly, and he reverted to his lazy, slacking demeanor.

"What's so great about that? It's just using Master's name as a pretext."

"Come, eat."

He picked up his chopsticks and began devouring the food on the table without any hesitation: "This meal is quite well prepared, let's not waste it."

Dong Xuan'er chuckled. She picked up two pieces of her favorite dishes and then naturally began to serve food to Mo Yu.

She used her jade chopsticks to pick up a piece of crystal-clear fish and carefully placed it into the black jade bowl with gentle movements.

At this moment, this young and spoiled girl was completely captivated by Mo Yu's complex charm, which combined domineering nature with wisdom.

She had long forgotten those sycophantic senior brothers who had once fawned over her.

After all, if you compare the disciples in the sect with Senior Brother Mo Yu in front of you, any woman would choose the latter.
"Senior Brother is right. Those guys who are overly attentive must have something on their mind about me. Only Senior Brother Mo Yu never shows me any kindness, and even diligently teaches me principles of conduct... He truly is the good man my aunt chose for me!"

Little did they know, this idea was the result of the meticulous guidance that the mortal Mo Yu had received step by step from the teachings of the Qin Shi master.

"Senior brother, what should we do next?"

Dong Xuan'er asked with anticipation, as she was much more interested in the upcoming "stirring things up" than in the tedious cultivation.

"eat first."

The mortal Mo Yu accepted the food Dong Xuan'er offered without hesitation, but a sudden chill ran through his languid tone:
"After we finish eating, we'll take a stroll around the city and see what's going on."

If the arrangements made by Spirit Beast Mountain here are truly only what Fu Chang described… then I, your senior brother, am at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining!”

A Qi Refining Grand Perfection cultivator with Foundation Establishment combat power!
