Chapter 840: Chapter 57: The Upright Young Gentleman

Jiang Jinyue didn’t believe Chu Zhan’s words.

"The Reversed Big Dipper Seven-Star Step requires first being familiar with our Big Dipper Seven-Star Step, and one’s cultivation must be far above Duan Zhengyang’s to possibly see through it. Do you think a Loose Cultivator could do it? I think this guy just made a major mistake in his footwork, leading to such a big flaw. The more crucial the move, the calmer one must be, relying solely on hot-bloodedness will only lead to bigger flaws." Saying this, Jiang Jinyue became angrier, harshly twisting Duan Zhengyang’s ear.

Chu Zhan also felt helpless because he wasn’t very convinced either. Logically, the other party shouldn’t be so familiar with the Three Pristine Sect’s unique skill.

A Loose Cultivator, one cannot help but suspect this might be a conspiracy against the Three Pristine Sect.

The Flying Boat’s speed was extremely fast, and soon the glorious Jiuxiao Building appeared before them. Seeing Chu Zhan with a smile on the corners of his mouth, Jiang Jinyue had to remind him: "Junior Brother Chu, Master has said not to provoke the female disciples of Jiuxiao Building."

Chu Zhan’s mouth twitched. "Senior Sister, I just simply want to spar with Ren Yanli."

"That’s fine then!" Jiang Jinyue nodded. She still felt assured about Chu Zhan, turned around, and fiercely glared at Duan Zhengyang. If it weren’t for this guy running around, how would such trouble arise?

The elders presiding over today’s competition were Elder Tang Feng from Ten Thousand Rooster Hall and Elder Kui Ma from Gang Refining Hall. Both held high ranks in their sects.

The top Magic Artifacts, Arrays, Talismans, and Elixirs in Divine Land mostly came from these two sects. While these sects are not skilled in combat, they always attract quality disciples, relying on the strongest resource guarantees, and both sects have very good relationships with Jiuxiao Building. The disciples on Jiuxiao Building’s red list are their targets for poaching.

Tang Feng and Kui Ma are old acquaintances. If it weren’t for an extremely special disciple appearing, they wouldn’t be together.

"Elder Tang, are you indulging too much? Your dark circles are so heavy, be careful not to drop dead." Kui Ma laughed while stroking his beard.

"Better than being impotent like you, outward strength isn’t of use, living is worse than dying." Elder Tang said, squinting his eyes.

"I advise you to leave now, I’ve taken a liking to that person." Kui Ma said coldly. Other sects care about orthodoxy, but their sects don’t, and they love poaching people.

"Look, you’re getting anxious again, where they go isn’t ours to decide, we must respect their wishes." Tang Feng laughed.

They often served as guests at Jiuxiao Building. As a deeply cooperative sect, attending can also give a close-up understanding of targets. Major sects are hard to poach, but young talents from small sects still can be. Some small sects are even happy to send out talents because the sect itself receives substantial compensation, some even have this industry chain, constantly excavating, nurturing, then sending and exchanging for cultivation resources and Treasures.

There’s talk about a formidable Loose Cultivator repeatedly defeating Vajra Institute’s experts, even winning against Three Pristine Sect’s young elites. The two major resource sects immediately sniffed the scent and came over. These two are specially responsible for poaching, personally observing and judging to determine the price.

Both knew each other’s intent but weren’t rushing to compete. It’s not that they look down on Loose Cultivators; the price is definitely easier to negotiate. But the important thing is, this guy is a bit too reckless, winning is winning, leading to two major experts of Vajra Institute being crippled is troublesome, as Vajra Institute is notorious as Taiyin School’s mangy dogs, biting when they latch on. So capturing isn’t the issue; Vajra Institute’s attitude has to be considered. Although Ten Thousand Rooster Hall and Gang Refining Hall don’t fear them, they must balance costs.

Li Xin relished this bustling scene, with a relaxation unmatched even in Moncalleta and Li Long. Listening to music and eating fine food, life was truly comfortable. Perhaps due to his good performance earlier, the items on his table became quite exquisite.

"Is it really that appealing?" Xiao Yan asked, shaking his fan.

"Truly breathtaking." Li Xin marveled at the art, his youthful eyes almost unable to look away.

"With Ren Yanli’s temperament and determination, that’s unlikely." Xiao Yan noted, seeing Li Xin’s unabashedly lustful appearance, feeling a bit of contrast.

"What determination, Brother Xiao? My issue is mainly poverty." Li Xin delightfully took a sip of wine, watching various beauties gracefully interpret his emotions, yet they were indeed bottomless money pits. Once caught, one might struggle to quit.

"Brother Ren, for cultivators like us, wealth is external, spending it can be endless, women are just distracting skeletons, a hinderance in cultivation, seductive women even worse, not one is good," Xiao Yan sighed, "Brother Ren, don’t go astray."

"Brother Xiao, it’s a pity you didn’t join the party with this insight."

"What?"

"I mean Brother Xiao is truly a righteous gentleman, my respects. But even if I’m interested, they wouldn’t look at me."

"Why not?"

"Would they come to me? Would they offer themselves?" Li Xin asked.

Xiao Yan was startled, "That surely wouldn’t happen, seductive women are famously profit-driven."

"There you have it, there’s no such thing as free gifts, seductive women want Wish Power and money, can an average person afford it? Of course, given their conditions, they’re not bad. I think Brother Xiao is quite suitable." Li Xin said.

"I’m not interested in ordinary mundane matters, just flesh and skin."

Li Xin looked at Xiao Yan, scooted his chair slightly aside, "Brother Xiao, aren’t you a bit abnormal?"

"Nonsense, I’m perfectly normal, just uninterested in them. I can play recklessly with money, but don’t expect me to give them a penny!" Xiao Yan retorted, turning red.

"Brother Xiao, we shouldn’t be prejudiced; they’re earning their living through hard work. See how pristinely they dance, even if we can’t support them financially, let’s cheer warmly." Li Xin said, clapping his hands.

"Hmph, you’re unaware; not all women at Jiuxiao Building are cultivators."

The outer disciples of Jiuxiao Building are responsible for the ambiance, each chosen as beauty, and are very professional, dancing before guests, pouring wine, with a faint fragrance that is very alluring. When guests try to reach out, they sway away, making hearts itch.

Seemingly within reach, actually cunningly planned, capturing men’s hearts tightly.

Indeed, poverty can maintain clarity, the brain can analyze heaps of rationale, while wealthy guests have begun to spend money wildly, drawing beauty’s attention.

Even before the battle starts, it brings considerable income, lots of money. Night Patrol also lacks funds; his men can only say life improved slightly, far from being care-free.

On Jiuxiao Building’s top floor, a place exclusive to Bao Yu’Er, overlooking the entire Jiuxiao Building, with distinctive views, others had already withdrawn. Her performance appearances depended entirely on her mood. But with her presence at Jiuxiao Building, its hype is significantly higher than usual.

Today, many elite disciples from various sects arrived, the Loose Cultivator defeating the Three Pristine Sect’s Duan Zhengyang attracted attention. The news of Chu Zhan challenging Ren Yanli spread from Jiuxiao Building, with many eager to see Chu Zhan’s condition.

Seeing "Ren Yanli" looking lustfully around at legs, Bao Yu’Er was somewhat surprised, famous disciples were used to pretending to be proper, feigning aloofness here. But eyes don’t lie, nor deceive seductive women.

Ren Yanli’s unhidden demeanor actually seemed genuine.

Bao Yu’Er pulled out the sunglasses gifted by Zhao the Divine Calculator from her bosom, seeing Jiang Jinyue and Chu Zhan.
