During these three days, Wang Xiaoqiang, Ding Chunqiu, and Fairy Zixia cultivated in the guest room of the inn.

Upon entering the Great Luo Golden Immortal First Liquid Realm, Wang Xiaoqiang finally verified that the so-called "Immortal Vein" was dispensable for him.

Although he had not opened a single Immortal Vein, with the Five Elements Spirit Spring carrying and transporting the Immortal Liquid, he faced no hindrance in battle or cultivation.

However, a certain undisputed fact puzzled him greatly, which was that every step forward in cultivation after reaching the Great Luo Golden Immortal was incredibly difficult, even though he could quickly refine pills with the Five Elements Spirit Spring. Cultivation was nowhere near as fast as before.

In truth, there was nothing particularly strange about it. The path of cultivation is like climbing a mountain; the higher you go, the harder it gets, but if you can climb high, you see even more splendid views.

Moreover, after advancing to the Great Luo Golden Immortal, the Qi within the body undergoes a qualitative change, making cultivation understandably difficult.

It is said that every tier advancement for a Great Luo Golden Immortal requires at least ten years. Those with high Immortal Vein aptitude, like cultivators with more than five Immortal Veins, take seven to eight years, while those with eight or more Immortal Veins take five to six years. Even a genius with ten Immortal Veins requires five years.

Thus, Great Luo Golden Immortals are generally quite old, though they appear young because they are cultivators who have techniques to maintain their appearance, relying on pills like the Youth Everlasting Pill.

Wang Xiaoqiang estimated based on his cultivation speed that he would need at least half a year to advance a tier.

Of course, if there is a continuous supply of Liquid Gathering Pills, the time could be reduced further, but not less than three months.

Compared to before, when he could level up two levels in a moment, it was indeed much slower, but even so, this cultivation speed would be astounding and terrifying if known, even to the Biluo Heavenly Emperor.

In three days, half of the Liquid Gathering Pills in the Sumeru Ring had been consumed, and thanks to these pills, the amount of Immortal Liquid in Wang Xiaoqiang's Five Elements Spirit Spring increased by several layers, but there was still a long way to go to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Second Liquid Realm.

Time flew like an arrow, and three days passed swiftly.

At dusk on this day, Wang Xiaoqiang, together with Fairy Zixia and Ding Chunqiu, returned to the Wind Rain Pavilion. Since the Sky Obscuring Lord of the Eastern Mountain King had long since withdrawn, the journey was smooth.

In the following ten days or so, while cultivating diligently in the Wind Rain Pavilion, Wang Xiaoqiang familiarized himself with the business under Ann Qilang's guidance, quickly mastering the ins and outs,

He discovered that while the assassination task rules in the Wind Rain Pavilion were strict, rules were dead whereas people were alive. Wang Xiaoqiang felt that after becoming an Administrator, he could completely use his position to settle personal vendettas.

Half a month later.

Ann Qilang left the Wind Rain Pavilion to take up the position of Deputy Tower Master at the Wind Rain Pavilion in the Huayin Province, and Wang Xiaoqiang officially took over the position of Administrator in the Anyang Region, responsible for assassination missions.

After taking office, he realized that the official salary for this Administrator position was substantial, with a monthly income of five thousand Golden Silk, comparable to a lord of a territory, though slightly less than a tribal leader's treatment.

Moreover, each completed mission earned a reward of over five hundred Golden Silk. Of course, everything has two sides; if the assassination mission failed, some salary would be deducted, with a minimum deduction of five hundred.

Wang Xiaoqiang also received a larger house, more than double the size of his previous one, decorated with screens, vases, bookshelves, and the like, appearing both luxurious and cozy.

From then on, Wang Xiaoqiang no longer needed to share a room with Ding Chunqiu. He moved into the large house himself, though living alone in such a large room felt quite lonely. Wang Xiaoqiang really wanted Fairy Zixia to move in with him, but Fairy Zixia was a proper person, and he was too embarrassed to ask. Moreover, Fairy Zixia was recently busy with cultivation, and the two lacked opportunities for emotional exchange. Furthermore, after taking office, Wang Xiaoqiang was also busy, leaving little time for romance.

Fortunately, there was still a Feng'er in the Sumeru Ring, who was like both a close maid and a sexual slave, occasionally released to relieve himself and satisfy a man's needs.

After becoming an Administrator, Wang Xiaoqiang noticeably felt a change in the attitude of the assassins towards him; previously, they regarded him with cold disdain, but now they respectfully called him "Administrator" when they met.

This was understandable; if Wang Xiaoqiang disliked any assassin, he just needed to assign them to highly dangerous tasks, ensuring they would not last long.

Soon...

Someone placed a bounty, and thus Wang Xiaoqiang received his first task after becoming an Administrator. The task was not very difficult, he delegated it, and five assassins departed, returning the next day successfully, having completed the task perfectly. Wang Xiaoqiang received a reward of six hundred Golden Silk, along with the appreciation of Sect Leader Black Tornado.

After the first task, Wang Xiaoqiang thought of the Sky Obscuring Lord and the Eastern Mountain King. He mused, "Hmm, I can completely leverage my position to eliminate these two enemies..."

After weighing the options, he decided to first target the Sky Obscuring Lord because his cultivation level was weaker, giving him a better chance, although he was within a large Sect; as long as he stepped out of that Sect, there would be an opportunity to eliminate him.

Whereas the Eastern Mountain King had formidable strength, with many experts in the Eastern Mountain Tribe, making it difficult to kill him, requiring long-term planning.

Having made up his mind, Wang Xiaoqiang began to act. That night, he released Feng'er from the Sumeru Ring. Knowing that she could not escape his "Demon Palm," Feng'er docilely obeyed without resisting, sometimes trying various ways to please Wang Xiaoqiang.

However, Wang Xiaoqiang never developed feelings for Feng'er, merely viewing her as a tool for venting, and now intended to use her as a tool he could exploit.

Wang Xiaoqiang took out three thousand Golden Silk, the reward from the previous task, from the Sumeru Ring and placed it on the table, saying, "Tomorrow, take this three thousand Golden Silk to the Deacon Hall to find me, and say you want us to eliminate the Sky Obscuring Lord..."

Upon hearing this, Feng'er's heart stirred, her eyes glinting, she said, "Aren't you now the Administrator of the Wind Rain Pavilion? To kill someone, just directly send an assassin; why such trouble."

"It's the rule, understand? If not, it would be a personal vendetta." Wang Xiaoqiang said, "What? Are you not willing?"

"No problem," Feng'er obediently nodded. Yet, inwardly she thought, "Hmm, the opportunity has come, tomorrow I must escape if possible, or at least ensure this Demon Leader's ruin..."

Seeing Feng'er's sudden change of attitude and erratic gaze, Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly realized that asking Feng'er for help was a mistake; she was an unloyal dog ready to betray him.

If Feng'er took the opportunity tomorrow to spread this matter, Wang Xiaoqiang would be known for taking personal revenge, his reputation ruined, unable to remain as an Administrator, not to mention even becoming an assassin, and possibly facing severe punishment.

Realizing this, Wang Xiaoqiang felt a chill, immediately giving up the idea of asking Feng'er for help, then pinned her to the ground, ravaging her fiercely. Feeling something amiss in Wang Xiaoqiang's mood, Feng'er cautiously asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing!"

"Don't worry, tomorrow I'll definitely handle that matter for you."

"No need."

Feng'er's heart skipped, then sank into despair, "No need? Why suddenly no need..."

"From now on, just obediently serve me, nothing else concerns you." Wang Xiaoqiang tapped Feng'er's flushed face with an amused expression.

Feng'er's face turned pale from the blush, she said, "You don't trust me?"

Wang Xiaoqiang retorted, "Are you worthy of my trust?"

"You plan to keep me as a slave forever?" Feng'er bit her red lips.

"An hour ago, I didn't plan that, but now, you must remain my slave until you die." Wang Xiaoqiang said.

"Why? Feng'er exclaimed in frustration, almost hysterical. She was on the verge of collapse.

"Because you know things you shouldn't, if you make public the matter of my personal vendetta against the Sky Obscuring Lord, wouldn't my reputation be ruined?"

"So you mean, I have no hope at all, I can only be your servant for life." Feng'er's face was ashen, her heart in despair.

"Not entirely without hope," Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly smiled, "Before meeting me, you were at least a virgin, and you don't look bad; mainly it's your heart that's too vile. If you could make me fall for you, then you could become my woman, and then you wouldn't be a slave, you could regain your freedom... hehe..."

Wang Xiaoqiang chuckled lightly, his willpower shifting, he re-collected the three thousand Golden Silk back into the Sumeru Ring. (To be continued.
