Crimson gates reek with meat and ale, while on the streets are bones of the frozen dead.
In this era where demons and evil were rampant, the noble and powerful in the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom could still have fun every night.
Lu Yuan, who was immersed in “meat and ale”, naturally wouldn’t feel that the scenes he was seeing in the Drunken Cloud Brothel were the projection of the life of everyone in the great Xia Kingdom.
These scenes could only represent the lives of the influential people in the Great Xia Kingdom.
In the Drunken Cloud Brothel, who could represent the Great Xia Kingdom’s commoners the most?
They were undoubtedly the servants in the main hall who were serving tea with their heads lowered.
Yet, even though they seemed to be bending over, the lives of these people were actually still better than the vast majority of the ordinary people in the Great Xia Kingdom.
Besides, even the people who were high and mighty in the eyes of ordinary people were also ordinary people who were completely unremarkable in the eyes of the cultivators who were of a higher level.
Even among cultivators, there was a strict hierarchy and the difference in status was obvious.
It could only be said that whether it was in the mortal world or the celestial cultivation world, some of the most basic things would not change or disappear because of the existence of spiritual energy.
That being said, even though Lu Yuan was feeling emotional, he would not think about changing anything.
Sometimes, people needed to know their limits. They needed to understand what they could do, what they couldn’t do, what they should do, and what they shouldn’t do.
Lu Yuan did not think that he had the ability to change the world, nor did he have the intention to do so.
At most, he would do something within his power on the basis that his safety was guaranteed.
After all, he was cultivating immortality and freedom. His excessive steadiness was only out of his instinct to save his life.
If he had to live sullenly for the rest of his life, Lu Yuan would rather not cultivate!
“I can develop steadily, but I won’t accept abandoning my basic self-esteem just to live.”
Lu Yuan laughed and played with the ladies as he thought to himself.
As he thought about it, his eyes started to become dazed.
A faint white mist began to appear.
Shang Yun and the other two, who had been playing around with the girls, suddenly came to their senses and looked at Lu Yuan in shock.
Ordinary people might not understand what Lu Yuan was doing, but the three knew very well.
This was the scene of a cultivation breakthrough!
[Ding! You have comprehended the true essence of cultivation and your Dao heart has become more stable. Cultivation technique Breeze Mystical Scripture proficiency +3000, cultivation technique Nine Guard Tortoiseshell Technique proficiency +3000.]
I Breeze Mystical Scripture (level 4): 2200/40001
I Nine Guard Tortoiseshell Technique (level 4): 2200/4000]
I Current cultivation: Foundation Establishment Stage, level 41
When the breakthrough ended, Lu Yuan also noticed his changes.
He could feel the cultivation in his body becoming more profound.
Lu Yuan was shocked.
He had heard of breaking through in secluded cultivation and in battle, but he had never heard that drinking wine could also help in breaking through!
Could it be that he was more suited to drinking and cultivating at the same time?
It can’t be. There can’t be such a ridiculous thing…
Just as Lu Yuan’s heart was filled with astonishment, Shang Yun, who was at the side, said with a complicated expression, “Congratulations, sir. Your cultivation has improved again!”
Iron-ox and Lion-ape also hurriedly congratulated him, “Congratulations, sir. You’ve improved!”
Even though the girls around them didn’t know what had happened, they were good at observing people’s expressions. They could tell that something extraordinary must have happened to Lu Yuan.
At the thought of this, they congratulated Lu Yuan as well.
Hearing the compliments from the people around him, Lu Yuan smiled and drank a mouthful of wine. He did not say anything more.
His nonchalant attitude made Shang Yun and the others feel even more that he was unfathomable.
Not only did their new director have a unique personality, but even his talent… It seemed to be terrifyingly strong!
However, the more capable Lu Yuan was, the happier they, as his subordinates, were.
After all, this meant that their backer had become more reliable.
The breakthrough could only be regarded as an unexpected joy for the internal team-building of the Devil Slayers Division.
After that, the four of them were taken care of by different girls and spent the night in the Drunken Cloud Brothel.
As he had played with the most beautiful twins in the brothel for a long time last night, Lu Yuan was not very alive the next day.
Just as he was about to leave, he ran into Shang Yun. The two walked together, supporting themselves against the wall.
As for Lion-ape Liu Wu and Iron-ox Zhang Tieniu, it could only be said that these two were worthy of being Innate Stage martial artists. Their physical fitness was really good.
After a night, they were still in high spirits, which made Lu Yuan and Shang Yun envious.
Still, celestial cultivators were not ordinary people.
Although he had spent the night fooling about, Lu Yuan recovered in a very short time.
There was a good saying that the strongest relationships between men included: those who had carried guns together, those who had been classmates, and those who had…
Thus, after that night, Lu Yuan’s relationship with Shang Yun and the others improved a great deal.
However, Lu Yuan simply could not understand how the married Shang Yun manage to stay at the brothel overnight while his wife did not make a scene.
Could it be that he had some special housekeeping skills?
Just as Lu Yuan was about to ask out of curiosity, a commotion on the street in the distance attracted their attention.
A group of people was gathered in a circle in broad daylight as if they were looking at something.
One could also hear the faint sound of a woman crying.
Filled with curiosity, the four weaved through the crowd and arrived at the center..
