The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 251. Shameful PY Transaction

True Master Yu Qing warmly said to Fang Zhou: "Little friend Fang, we haven’t seen each other for two months, yet you’ve already reached Perfect Foundation Establishment. It seems that the sword pill benefited you, which puts us at ease."

Fang Zhou reached Perfect Foundation Establishment so quickly, and the people of Heavenly Sword Sect all thought he had consumed that sword pill, using its medicinal power to raise his realm so swiftly.

Actually, Fang Zhou still has the sword pill because its effects are maximized when consumed during the breakthrough to Innate Realm.

However, the people of Heavenly Sword Sect misunderstood, and Fang Zhou wouldn’t go out of his way to clarify.

He asked: "What business does the True Master have in seeking me out this time?"

True Master Yu Jian smiled slightly: "Presumably, Yu Qing has already informed little friend Fang about the Chu Kingdom princess seeking our sect’s help. After discussing with the other two true masters, we decided to let Yu Qing and Xuan Ling handle this matter, and hope little friend Fang might also join."

"Me as well?"

Fang Zhou pointed at himself in confusion, wondering what this has to do with him.

True Master Yu Jian nodded: "To be frank with little friend Fang, the emperor of Chu Kingdom has old ties with our sect, hence we cannot stand by idly. If we were to send an elder, though, it might appear as interference in the imperial succession, which the Righteous Alliance prohibits. Therefore, only Yu Qing and Xuan Ling can go to handle it and get some training; however, the two are experienced only in the mountains, with shallow experiences, and require assistance from someone mature and steady..."

Listening to True Master Yu Jian’s explanation, Fang Zhou finally understood.

Heavenly Sword Sect wants to send people to help, but the Righteous Alliance prohibits cultivation sects from interfering in secular imperial power, so they can only dispatch Yu Qing and Xuan Ling, who are still in Foundation Establishment Realm juniors, to assist the Qiao clan.

Furthermore, concerned that the two lack experience, they approached Fang Zhou hoping he could accompany them to provide support to the two true disciples.

At the end of his speech, True Master Yu Jian shamelessly started praising Fang Zhou, claiming that under Innate, he dominates, adept at understanding worldly affairs and human interactions.

Fang Zhou agreed with the first statement, but found the latter to imply him being crafty and cunning.

I’m an honest, straightforward kid, isn’t your shameless smear of me affecting your conscience?

"Thank you for the true master’s kindness, but I’ve only just reached Perfect Foundation Establishment, and my foundation isn’t solid yet. Wandering recklessly might anger my master. The Heavenly Sword Sect is teeming with talents, locating a skilled escort surely isn’t difficult, so there’s no need for an outsider like me to intervene."

Fang Zhou directly refused, thinking this has nothing to do with him. Who knows how long this trip might take?

Is my time not valuable? I’m living happily and comfortably; why should I go on a long journey with you?

Upon seeing Fang Zhou’s refusal, True Master Yu Jian was not surprised.

After such extended dealings, True Master Yu Jian long understood Fang Zhou and his master Ling Xiaoyue share a similar temperament, being the type who won’t make a move unless there’s benefit, then rush towards it faster than anyone.

Of course, he wouldn’t come unprepared to talk with Fang Zhou, thus after Fang Zhou refused, True Master Yu Jian chuckled and presented his offer.

"Next year, Refining Immortal City will open, if little friend Fang helps with this trip, I can put my face on the line to secure a spot for you."

Fang Zhou’s heart skipped a beat; this old woman always manages to take out good items to tempt him.

Regarding Refining Immortal City, Fang Zhou heard Yu Qing mention it; it’s originally an Earth Immortal Cave Mansion, after an Earth Immortal fell, it became ownerless and controlled by the Righteous Alliance.

If a Tribulation Ascension expert fails their tribulation but doesn’t die by celestial tribulation, they can choose another cultivation path. Such experts are Earth Immortals, akin to immortals on land, figures standing at the pinnacle of the Cultivation World pyramid.

As an Earth Immortal Cave Mansion, Refining Immortal City is inherently dangerous but also holds extraordinary opportunities, containing Earth Immortal heritage and the lifetime wealth of the Earth Immortal.

Thus, the entry spots to Refining Immortal City are incredibly valuable; True Master Yu Jian offering one in exchange for Fang Zhou’s aid holds a value no less than that of the sword pill.

However, as they say, risk and reward are proportional, the higher the reward, the higher the risk.

Refining Immortal City is so perilous that Fang Zhou showed little interest upon hearing about it, thinking living safely and steadily is better.

Seeing Fang Zhou still considering it, True Master Yu Jian seems very puzzled, as this rare spot in Refining Immortal City is in demand among cultivators, yet there’s hesitation here.

It can only be said that True Master Yu Jian cannot comprehend Fang Zhou’s dedication to cautiousness.

If the Refining Immortal City spot can’t sway Fang Zhou, True Master Yu Jian can only offer another temptation — Chang Kong’s private tutoring!

"Private tutoring?"

Fang Zhou looked surprised.

He surely knows who Chang Kong is, the cold, stunning elder sister near Sect Master Qin Yunzhu.

Upon hearing "private tutoring," Fang Zhou’s thoughts suddenly turned naughty; does she actually do such side gigs?

Unaware of Fang Zhou’s muddled thoughts, True Master Yu Jian naturally explained.

Chang Kong’s strength ranks high in Heavenly Sword Sect, and she’s adept in various combat styles and techniques, a versatile all-rounder.

Occasionally, she guides disciples in illusions, and every disciple benefited enormously, drastically improving combat abilities.

But this depends on luck, as she only does this when in good mood, a few times yearly, with selected disciples as fortunate as winning a five million lottery.

If True Master Yu Jian personally intervened, perhaps getting Chang Kong to tutor Fang Zhou once could be arranged.

Fang Zhou thought for three seconds before agreeing, the Refining Immortal City spot plus Chang Kong’s private tutoring is an offer too good to decline.

"True Master, rest assured, we are kind and loving neighbors, Heavenly Sword Sect’s matters are my matters, besides, Yu Qing is also my good friend, accompanying her on this trip is a duty."

Listening to Fang Zhou’s seemingly selfless dedication speech, akin to noble sacrifice, True Master Yu Jian felt somewhat revolted but maintained composure with a smile.

After the deal was sealed, Fang Zhou requested a private meeting with Chu Kingdom Princess Qiao Sen.

True Master Yu Jian naturally wouldn’t refuse, allowing Yu Qing to take Fang Zhou to meet Qiao Sen.

Qiao Sen still waited in Yuxu Palace on Heavenly Sword Peak, with a heart filled with anxiety.

The prohibition of cultivation sects involving themselves in secular imperial succession is known to Qiao Sen, previously wholeheartedly supported by her to avoid becoming a sect puppet.

But now, she hopes that rule is merely decorative, so Heavenly Sword Sect can assist her without worry.

After waiting about half a day, Qiao Sen got a notice that someone wished to meet her privately.

All she could do was suppress her anxiety and tension, arriving alone at the side chamber of Yuxu Palace, waiting a while more before seeing a tall, incredibly handsome man enter the chamber.

"You’re called Qiao Sen, right."

Fang Zhou casually sat in front of the princess: "Heavenly Sword Sect has received your distress request. Our sect highly regards Chu Kingdom’s Qiao clan’s plight. Based on humanitarian spirit and your mother’s friendship, we’ve decided to send a reinforcement team. I am the team leader and in charge of this rescue operation. The name is Ling Xiaoyue; you can call me Mr. Ling."
