People Found Out About The Base I Built On the Moon

Chapter 973: Chapter 120 Qi Cultivation Stage_4

This one statement shocked everyone. Although Zhao Yu felt there was something off about Mo Cai’er, he had not expected her personality to take such a drastic turn.

The other senior brothers, however, were left dumbfounded.

“Sister Cai’er, he’s not worth it for this sort of man…”

Who knew that upon hearing the person beside her, Mo Cai’er retorted sharply, “Shut up, will you? You’re old enough, yet instead of focusing on diligently cultivating, you’re trying to deceive a young girl like me…”

“What, you think that by winning me over, you can get your hands on a Foundation Establishment Pill?!”

“Do you really think I’m so easy to fool? These past days, I’ve just been playing along with you, amused by your fawning behavior…”

“Sister Cai’er…”

All the male cultivators present blushed with shame, never having imagined that Mo Cai’er would scold them so harshly, like she had become a completely different person.

“Tsk tsk, did you hear that? I wanted to tell you three months ago to stop deluding yourselves; alas, you just didn’t get my hints…” Zhao Yu finally spoke up amidst the others’ silence, with a look of pity on his face.

This made the rest feel a mix of annoyance, thinking Zhao Yu was bragging, while also somewhat believing he wasn’t lying.

After all, unlike them, Zhao Yu hadn’t been fawning over Mo Cai’er for these three months but instead had been constantly irritating her, making her sullen each time.

Looking back now, it seemed as if Zhao Yu was indeed trying to wake them up.

“Get lost, all of you country bumpkins, I get annoyed just looking at you…”

Annoyed and furious, Mo Cai’er hurled a series of insults at the male cultivators.

Eventually, the male cultivators couldn’t stand it any longer and, amidst jeers and mockery from other Medicinal Fields, they fled in disarray.

“Haha, the little witch finally shows her true nature, she held on for three months, longer than I expected…”

“Isn’t that because of that blockhead Zhao Yu? If it weren’t for him providing a constant contrary perspective, the little witch might have not been able to keep up her act for more than a week or two…”

Zhao Yu, having arrived at the Medicinal Field for trampling herbs with his identity as a Qi Cultivation Stage One cultivator, naturally attracted some attention, and some had secretly checked out his background.

Upon discovering that he was just a servant by birth, they lost interest.

Naturally, they also learned about the nickname he used to go by: blockhead.

“Blockhead, huh. You just keep on pretending, kid!”

After chasing the others away, Mo Cai’er, bringing along her close girlfriend, approached Zhao Yu, glaring at him fiercely, and said, “You, you’ve been playing the fool all this time; don’t think I don’t know that you’re just trying to get on my nerves…”

“Kid, do you really think that by acting this way you can make me fall in love with you?”

“You’re too naive!”

Mo Cai’er had also suffered greatly over these three months.

Initially, they truly thought Zhao Yu was a simpleton.

Later, when they sensed something was off and started analyzing, they believed that Zhao Yu might have been applying the reverse strategy. While the others adopted the sycophantic approach, Zhao Yu utilized the ‘act aloof to incite interest’ strategy.

The goal was the same: to pursue her.

Thus, the two of them kept setting up traps and challenges, but Zhao Yu never took the bait.

After holding back for three months, Mo Cai’er finally lost her patience and revealed her cards.

“What is love, and what do you mean by ‘getting on top of me’?!” Zhao Yu asked with a look of pure confusion on his face.

This left Mo Cai’er feeling powerless again.

During these three months, every time it came to a crucial moment, Zhao Yu would react this way, leaving her frustrated and unable to proceed.

“Hmph, you blockhead, we’ll see!”

Mo Cai’er huffily left with her girlfriend by her side.

Watching her leave, Zhao Yu felt a pang of regret. In these three months, he had harvested tens of millions of energy points, which was utterly enjoyable.

Now that Mo Cai’er had left, it meant he had to find a new target to harvest from.

With the Medicinal Field empty, Zhao Yu didn’t feel like lingering either, so he refined his collected herbs and returned to his dwelling.

Unexpectedly, just as he arrived at his courtyard, Zhao Yi and Zhao Ming were standing there.

“Zhao Yu, you’re back…”

“What’s up, is there a problem?”

Zhao Yu looked at them with some confusion.

These days, he would occasionally bump into the two, and they were always rushing off to cultivate, rarely having any time to chat leisurely.

Today, however, they were both there as if they had something important, like they were waiting for him.

“Miss Second just came by…”

“Miss Second and her team have completed their task and returned. After learning about your situation, she asked us to notify you to go see her…”

Zhao Yi had a hint of helplessness on his face, “Zhao Yu, your talents aren’t even comparable to mine. You’ve joined Mount Shu; why aren’t you focusing on your cultivation instead of wasting your time in Medicine Valley?!”

“Don’t you know that places like Medicine Valley are meant for big clan descendants?!”

“For us from humble backgrounds, Medicine Valley is off-limits, to go there is to ruin yourself…”

Zhao Ming nodded seriously and added, “You’ve only just entered the sect, and it’s understandable you don’t know. But now, at eighteen, you’re still only at the Qi Cultivation Stage One…”

“To reach Qi Cultivation Stage Nine would take at least four or five years. By then, you’ll be twenty-three or twenty-four…”

“Attempting your first Foundation Establishment at that age without a Foundation Establishment Pill would be unlikely to succeed…”

“And obtaining a Foundation Establishment Pill is extremely difficult; it requires many contributions…”

“How much contribution can Medicine Valley tasks give you?”

“Even if you stayed in Medicine Valley for ten years, you could not accumulate enough for the contributions required for a Foundation Establishment Pill…”

“Besides, you can’t cultivate in Medicine Valley…”

It was then that Zhao Yu understood; these pair knew about his training in Medicine Valley.
