Lu Yang glanced at Xu Youling, whose face was filled with barely concealed excitement, chuckled, and said, "If there's anything I can do to help you with, Saintess Xu, I'll let you know."

Lu Yang chuckled and readily agreed, "Youling."

Xu Youling blushed slightly and nodded, "Mm."

Pang Zhao, standing to the side, watched the two exchange words, his expression turning somewhat numb.

What a pair of scoundrels...

So cheesy!

However, if Young Master Lu could give him Enlightenment Tea, he wouldn't mind being that cheesy, or even more cheesy; he felt he could take on the challenge.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

Pang Zhao stared at Lu Yang expectantly, trying to convey his thoughts with his eyes.

Lu Yang naturally noticed Pang Zhao's expectant look, which made him feel a little uneasy.

No... you're not a woman, why are you making that face?

However, Lu Yang could also understand that Pang Zhao seemed to want to comprehend the Dao through tea leaves.

Unfortunately, although he had quite a few of these Enlightenment Tea leaves, he couldn't just give them away to anyone.

The reason for giving it to Xu Youling is that she is a system-certified confidante, and you can get a favorability reward from her.

There was no reward for Pang Zhao.

If he and Pang Zhao were on good terms, he wouldn't be stingy. But he and Pang Zhao had only met a few times, so it's unrealistic to say they were on very good terms.

Lu Yang pretended not to see it.

He chuckled and said, "You two were attracted here by the Golden Spirit Fruit, weren't you? Now that everything is alright, hurry up and deal with the evil cultivators."

Upon hearing this, Xu Youling and Pang Zhao remembered their business.

Xu Youling smiled slightly, her tone tinged with pride: "Young Master Lu, Li Feihe was just killed by Senior Brother Pang and me. His head is with Senior Brother Pang."

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow and looked at Pang Zhao. Pang Zhao, also somewhat proud, took out the blood-stained head and chuckled, "I have fulfilled my mission!"

Lu Yang glanced at Li Feihe, but his heart was not greatly affected.

He had already seen it during his previous search; Li Feihe's strength was inferior to that of Pang Zhao and Xu Youling combined.

Once discovered, Li Feihe will definitely not be able to escape.

Lu Yang was surprised that Xu Youling and Pang Zhao acted so quickly, completing the task he had assigned in just a few days.

He didn't hold back his praise, chuckling, "As expected of a successor of the Tai Xuan Dao Sect, you acted swiftly. Even Li Feihe, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, couldn't escape your pursuit."

Pang Zhao saw that Lu Yang didn't seem to have any intention of giving him the tea leaves for enlightenment, so he accepted it.

He chuckled and said, "This Li Feihe is quite strong, but unfortunately he's run into the two of us."

Xu Youling said, "As for the other evil cultivators and tribulation cultivators, we dealt with some of them while chasing Li Feihe. As for the rest, Senior Brother Pang and I will continue to deal with them."

Lu Yang nodded, then chuckled, "Since you two have completed my task, I won't be stingy. These are your rewards."

Lu Yang took out several top-grade talismans for the Golden Core stage, as well as top-grade pills, and also gave each of them a top-grade magic weapon.

These were all taken by Lu Yang from the Wanxiang Business Alliance's treasury. He still had quite a few on him. Since Xu Youling and Pang Zhao had done his job, he naturally had to show his appreciation.

These are all top-quality items, the most suitable treasures for Golden Core cultivators. Even though Pang Zhao and Xu Youling are both successors of the Tai Xuan Dao Sect, they can still use these treasures.

Pang Zhao's face immediately broke into a smile.

Although I didn't get the Enlightenment Tea, getting some top-grade magic weapons, pills, and talismans is still a pretty good gain.

As expected of Young Master Lu, he's incredibly generous!

Pang Zhao only possessed three top-grade magic treasures.

Xu Youling did not refuse, and nodded with a smile to accept it. Lu Yang glanced at the favorability rating, which increased by 3 points, reaching 71 points.

We're getting closer and closer to 80 points of favorability.

Then, Lu Yang said, "Alright, you guys go ahead and do your work. If you need any help, just let me know."

"I need Enlightenment Tea..." Pang Zhao muttered to himself, but dared not say it aloud.

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Young Master Lu, with our combined strength, we shouldn't encounter any trouble in Qin Prefecture."

Xu Youling felt quite reluctant to leave. She glanced at Liu Yaoyao and Mu Yunxue beside Lu Yang. She also wanted to stay by Lu Gongzi's side and see his handsome face every day. Just thinking about it made her happy...

Xu Youling naturally dared not make such a request. Suppressing her reluctance, she chuckled and said, "In that case, we'll take our leave now."

Lu Yang nodded.

Xu Youling and Pang Zhao bowed to Lu Yang, then turned and left the courtyard.

After leaving the courtyard, Xu Youling and Pang Zhao nodded goodbye to Lu Sheng and the others outside the courtyard, then took off and flew away into the distance.

In the sky, Pang Zhao glanced at Xu Youling, whose pretty face was cool and indifferent, then shamelessly approached her with a very ingratiating smile, saying, "Junior Sister Xu, what's the Enlightenment Tea like? I've never seen it before, could you show it to me? Let me broaden my horizons?"

Xu Youling glanced at Pang Zhao and said, "Senior brother, we've been fellow disciples since childhood. Do you think I can't see through your intentions? This was given to me by Young Master Lu; there's no share for you."

Pang Zhao was immediately heartbroken and grief-stricken, saying, "Alas... I always think of you when I have something good, but I never expected that Junior Sister Xu wouldn't even let me see this Enlightenment Tea! It hurts my heart so much!"

Xu Youling couldn't help but laugh in exasperation: "Really? Last time, you didn't share even one or two of those Purple Mansion Spirit-Nourishing Grasses with me, your junior sister!"

Pang Zhao's expression immediately froze. He gave a dry laugh and stammered, "Well, isn't that useful for your senior brother? Good junior sister, how about... just one leaf of the Enlightenment Tea? Please, just give your senior brother one leaf! I only need one leaf!"

Xu Youling calmly replied, "No."

She sped up, transformed into a rainbow of light, and flew forward.

Pang Zhao sighed and followed helplessly.

He really wanted to comprehend the tea leaves!

…………

After seeing Xu Youling and Pang Zhao off, Lu Yang looked up at the sky. Perhaps because of Xu Youling and Pang Zhao's departure, or perhaps because he saw Wang Da and felt Wang Er Yi's spiritual suppression, the Golden Core cultivators who had come earlier had already disappeared.

However, other cultivators from even more distant places are gradually approaching.

Lu Yang naturally didn't want too many people to be attracted here.

He said calmly, "Wang Da, this is a warning."

Wang Da nodded, and the next moment, he soared into the air and arrived in the sky.

The terrifying pressure of the Nascent Soul stage transformed into tangible waves of flame that spread in all directions.

This terrifying pressure contained the laws of fire, almost transforming into a domain of flames, causing a surging golden sea of ​​fire to appear before the eyes of all the nearby cultivators.

All the Golden Core cultivators spat out a mouthful of blood, which then burst into flames in the air and vanished as wisps of green smoke.

These Golden Core cultivators were filled with horror, their bodies turning ice-cold with fear.

"What...what is this?!" An old man in the Golden Core stage was deathly pale, devoid of any color.

No one answered him, and all the Golden Core cultivators turned and ran away in a frenzy.

They could all see that this senior had suppressed the power of his aura; otherwise, they would have been dead just now!

Clearly, this senior was warning them!

Are we going to stay here and wait to die instead of leaving now?

Not only the cultivators who were already close to Dongwang Mountain, but also the fire waves formed by this pressure continued to sweep across the entire Qinzhou region. The Nascent Soul ancestors of the major top sects who were originally on their way and planned to come and see the situation were now feeling a chill all over their bodies.

They exchanged a silent glance, then quietly returned the way they came, no longer daring to harbor any further thoughts of that rare and precious treasure.
