I Have An Infinite Cultivation Resource
Chapter 67: Supplement
How did Lu Xiao'e become Dongfang Bubai?
Could it be that Wu Tong was just trying to test the waters—already suspicious of him and probing his reaction?
"She's Dongfang Bubai!" Lu You showed a trace of lingering fear. "Senior Brother, is that really true? I've been living with her for over half a month, and I didn't notice anything unusual about her behavior."
Lu You retreated tactically, observing Wu Tong's reaction.
"If you could spot it so easily, would she still be Dongfang Bubai?" Wu Tong snorted. "You just need to honestly report her movements. The higher-ups will decide what to do."
Lu You carefully watched Wu Tong. To be safe, he even had Evil Eye record everything, planning to analyze it frame by frame later to see if there was any trap.
"Senior Brother, if Dongfang Bubai makes a move, how should I contact you?" Lu You gritted his teeth, finally making up his mind.
Wu Tong nodded in satisfaction and took out a communication talisman from his robes. Just as he was about to hand it to Lu You, Lu You stopped him.
"Senior Brother, we can't use communication talismans." Lu You's expression turned serious as he explained patiently, "I'm only a Qi Refining outer disciple, while Dongfang Bubai is at least at the Golden Core realm. If I frequently use communication talismans, there's a chance she might detect it. My life is insignificant, but ruining your plan would be a grave mistake. Also, we don't know if Dongfang Bubai has other informants in the Deep Literary Pavilion. If we meet openly, someone might take notice."
Wu Tong thought for a moment and found Lu You's reasoning sound. "Then what do you suggest?"
Lu You frowned, hesitating for quite a while before offering, "Senior Brother, I've long heard that your background is extraordinary. Why not choose a place that only you can access and arrange to meet there? This way, Dongfang Bubai wouldn't pay attention to where a minor figure like me goes daily, making it much safer than using talismans. Moreover, even if there are spies, they wouldn't be able to get close to that place. In other words, if someone deliberately follows me to the meeting point, it would actually prove they are one of Dongfang Bubai's informants."
"Brilliant, Junior Brother! Looks like I chose the right person." Wu Tong pondered Lu You's suggestion for a long time but couldn't come up with anything better. He immediately beamed with joy. Putting away the communication talisman, he took out a jade key from his storage space and handed it to Lu You. "This is the key to the Heaven District, as well as my grandfather's residence. The old man has been in seclusion for years and no longer lives there. With this key, you can enter the Heaven District and even access his room. If you discover anything, go there and leave me a message. I'll check it every day—we'll communicate this way."
Lu You accepted the key and secretly had the Evil Eye check for any hidden restrictions or spells. Then he said to Wu Tong, "Senior Brother, since I've taken on this task, does the opportunity you mentioned still count?"
"Of course it counts. Here, take it." Wu Tong's eyes were full of disdain as he once again took out the soundproof talisman. This Qi Refining outer disciple clearly had never seen much of the world—thinking that getting a talisman was some great opportunity. Lu You was really easy to use. Wu Tong had originally prepared to pay a heavy price with treasured artifacts or cultivation techniques, but didn't expect Lu You to ask for something so simple.
Lu You stopped him again. "Senior Brother, I need to monitor Dongfang Bubai. This soundproof talisman is useless to me. Please give me a life-saving talisman instead, it would at least give me a better chance of survival and allow me to pass on any information I discover. Also, ever since I began cultivating, I've been deeply fascinated with talismans. Would it be possible that every time I deliver information, you reward me with a talisman I haven't seen before?"
"Just one talisman each time?" Hearing this, Wu Tong almost couldn't hold back his laughter. This Lu You was truly a bumpkin—willing to risk his life for just a single talisman. Still, Wu Tong understood his hobby. The path of cultivation is long, and many cultivators develop collecting habits. Most collect rare treasures or treasured artifacts, but Lu You collected single-use talismans.
"Don't worry, Junior Brother. I'll definitely give you a new talisman every time," Wu Tong said as he took out his storage ring, rummaged through it, and pulled out a brilliantly shimmering talisman.
"Dongfang Bubai is in the Golden Core realm. Even if I gave you attack or defensive talismans, you still wouldn't be a match for her. This one is a Light Talisman. Once activated, it releases a dazzling burst of golden light. Used suddenly, it can serve two purposes: first, to disrupt Dongfang Bubai's vision so you can escape; second, to alert the Verdant Cloud Sect, prompting cultivators to come investigate. Perhaps when Dongfang Bubai sees you use it, fearing being surrounded, she might spare your life and flee on her own."
"Thank you, Senior Brother." Lu You accepted the talisman with a look of great care. The next moment, he placed it into his small cauldron, and just like the previous soundproof talisman, it became inexhaustible.
After discussing matters with Wu Tong a bit more, Lu You finally returned to his room.
Hearing him come back, Lu Xiao'e poked her head out from the second floor. "Are you okay? You won't get punished by the Verdant Cloud Sect for leading the commotion, right?" She had been somewhat worried at first, but after giving Lu You a suspicious look, she asked in confusion, "What exactly happened just now? Why do you look so happy?"
Am I smiling?
Lu You touched the corner of his mouth in surprise and found that he wasn't actually smiling, which reassured him. Then he looked up at Lu Xiao'e. "The sect just gave me a warning—no real punishment. I practically escaped with my life; can't I be a little happy?" While speaking casually, Lu You inwardly grew more cautious. It seemed that when facing Golden Core cultivators, controlling expressions alone wasn't enough—one had to control emotions too. Otherwise, they might have secret techniques to sense feelings.
"Senior Sister Lu, thanks for secretly helping stir things up today. What do you like to eat? I'll show off my cooking skills for you today." Lu You thought to himself that Dongfang Bubai's food preferences could count as useful information—perfect for trading with Wu Tong for talismans.
"What kind of ridiculous title is that? I already told you I'm younger than you—you should call me Junior Sister!" Lu Xiao'e recalled Lu You saying she had lived for thousands of years. Angered, she grabbed a pillow, about to throw it, but after a moment's thought, put it down and instead picked up the sword by the window and jumped down.
"Wait, wait—Junior Sister, you're the Junior Sister." Lu You had other matters to attend to and had no interest in testing Lu Xiao'e's sword skills, so he hurriedly corrected himself.
"That's more like it." Seeing Lu You give in, Lu Xiao'e was quite satisfied. "Since you're thanking me, I'll pick the dishes. I want something sweet—very, very sweet!"
