Chapter 264: Chapter 261: Pure Heart Sanctum

Sand Whale laughed heartily a couple of times, then looked at Fang Can with burning eyes. "Young Hero Fang, to be honest, I’m extremely interested in you."

"Your talent, your performance in the Grand Tournament of Nations... both are very much to my liking."

"But the problem is, your talent is *too* good. So good that even I can’t protect you. Otherwise, I’d really want to take you on as my disciple. If you stuck with me, reaching the Fourth Turn within ten years would be no problem."

Fang Can’s tone was cold. "Sect Leader Sha, why are you telling me all this? Just imprison me. You’re being a bit too talkative for someone speaking to a captive."

"Have you forgotten something, Young Hero Fang?"

There was a playful look in Sand Whale’s eyes. "I mentioned before that I was doing this as a favor for someone. So, for the next three days, you won’t be staying at the Topsy-Turvy Gate. There’s a much more suitable place for you to recuperate, Young Hero."

Fang Can frowned. "Where?"

A teasing smile on his face, Sand Whale enunciated each syllable. "Su... xin... Zhai?"

’Suxin Zhai?’

As Sand Whale spoke, Fang Can’s frown slowly turned into wide-eyed shock. "Where did you say?"

Just as Fang Can was reeling with confusion, an incredibly soft and captivating voice, one that could bewitch the soul, drifted from a corner:

"There’s no need to doubt, Young Hero... It’s exactly the Suxin Zhai you’re thinking of."

As Fang Can stiffly turned his head, he saw a fiery red figure who had appeared at his side at some unknown time.

To Fang Can’s eyes, the newcomer looked like a meticulously dressed doll in a shop window.

Her flawless and bewitching face was a translucent porcelain white, with a beauty mark like a teardrop at the corner of her right eye. She wore a fiery red silk dress that resembled flowing lava forged from a sunset’s glow.

Her waist-length hair cascaded over her dress. A fine, red-gold chain was wrapped around her bare ankle, and her ten perfectly shaped toes were painted with crimson lacquer.

’The... Joyful Union Sect...’

Looking at the soul-stealingly beautiful girl before him, Fang Can’s mind filled with the notorious reputation of her Sect.

The complete opposite of Jiejian Mountain, which was known for producing righteous heroines, Suxin Zhai was, in Fang Can’s understanding, the Joyful Union Sect of the martial world.

As far as he knew, Suxin Zhai abducted vigorous young men from all over to serve their disciples’ cultivation. Countless Martial Artists had fallen victim to them. It was truly horrifying.

And according to what Yuan Dang had said, wasn’t he supposed to be abducted by this very Suxin Zhai in the future?

Noticing Fang Can’s wide-eyed stare, the girl from Suxin Zhai said in a forlorn tone, "It seems the Young Hero has some prejudice against Suxin Zhai. It truly breaks this humble one’s heart."

The Joyful... the Suxin Zhai girl curved her lips into a captivating smile and walked toward Fang Can, barefoot.

With each step, the bells on the red-gold chain around her ankle swayed gently, letting out a crisp chime.

She closed the distance in a few steps. Fang Can was met with a delicate, rose-like fragrance, and then his face was cupped by a cool hand.

"This physique, this beauty... truly delightful. Tsk tsk, you’re not in the least inferior to me." ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The red-dressed girl studied Fang Can’s features as if he were a piece of art, her eyes filled with pure appreciation.

Casting a slightly panicked glance at Sand Whale, Fang Can hurriedly asked, "Didn’t you say I’d be assigned after three days? Why are you handing me over to Suxin Zhai?"

"Well, you’d just be sitting idle for these three days anyway. Suxin Zhai said they want to test the quality of a ’cauldron’ like you for us. They have experience in this area, after all. It’s more professional to have them do the assessment, so I just handed you over."

The words of the Sect Leader of the Sand Whale Sect were logical and well-reasoned.

As everyone knows, when evaluating a product, you should have it done by experts in the relevant field.

Suxin Zhai had cultivated the path of carnal pleasure for many years; they were absolute masters in the field!

By having this group of professionals thoroughly evaluate the "product" named Fang Can, they’d surely be able to produce a detailed spec report after three days!

While Fang Can’s mind was in turmoil, the red-dressed girl gently bit her lower lip. A drunken blush appeared on her cheeks as she lowered her eyes shyly and said, "For these three days, my lord must be gentle with this servant."

Fang Can: Heh heh... I’m screwed.

At this moment, the young man was starting to feel a bit worried about the next three days.

’Once I enter Suxin Zhai, I’m afraid I’ll be lucky to get out with my skin intact.’

’Me entering the Joyful Union Sect... how is that any different from a saintess stumbling into a goblin nest?’

’Before coming, I only did a divination on whether I would be raped. The reading said not to worry, that as long as I guarded my heart, I could overcome anything.’

’But the divination didn’t say I’d be thoroughly drained!!!’

’I thought that since the Topsy-Turvy Gate was basically an all-boys’ club, I wouldn’t have to worry about being raped.’

’Then they turn around and send me next door to the sorority house for ’advanced studies.’ Who could possibly withstand that?’

Even Sand Whale couldn’t help but add as he looked at Fang Can, "Don’t be too rough with your ’evaluation.’ Don’t damage his foundation."

"I know that, of course. Does Sect Leader Sha not know the skills of my Suxin Zhai?" The red-robed girl lifted Fang Can with her True Qi, her face flushing red as she said shyly:

"You’ve helped our Sect so much. Why don’t you return to Suxin Zhai with me, Sect Leader? The Sect will surely hold a feast to welcome you. If the Sect Leader is willing, even this little one is not..."

Before she could finish, Sand Whale cut her off with a disgusted wave of his hand.

"Get lost, get lost! Dammit, you think I haven’t heard about the legacy of your Suxin Zhai’s main lineage? Serves you right that everyone in your main branch is a virgin. Always thinking about reaping without sowing."

’Suxin Zhai? Virgins?’ Hearing Sand Whale’s words, a flicker of surprise crossed Fang Can’s face.

’No matter how you look at it, those two words don’t seem to go together.’

Seemingly noticing Fang Can’s confusion, a teasing smile appeared on Sand Whale’s face.

"It’s fine if you don’t get it now, kid. During your three days in Suxin Zhai, you’ll slowly come to understand. What lies ahead is hell."

"Sect Leader Sha, don’t put too much pressure on the Young Hero. Besides, those are all just rumors. You shouldn’t be so prejudiced, Sect Leader Sha."

The red-dressed girl smiled as she supported Fang Can, walking toward the door. Her steps were light, and the crisp sound of bells followed her.

Watching the two figures gradually disappear, Sand Whale gently clapped his disciple on the shoulder. "Yan Miao, you did a good job this time."

Being praised like this, Yan Miao subconsciously felt a pang of guilt.

He had promised to bring Fang Can back, but he never expected Fang Can to be taken away by the Joyful Union Sect. But since things had come to this, he could only hope that Lord Fang could withstand it.

Then, with a hint of confusion, Yan Miao looked at the Sect Leader. "Sect Leader, why did you say that the Suxin Zhai saintess is a virgin? That has to be false, right?"

"Hmph, I would never lie. The main lineage of Suxin Zhai for the last several generations have all definitely been virgins," Sand Whale said with certainty.

"It’s normal for you to think that way now, but you’ll understand once you learn how terrifying the ’Great Ecstasy Bodhisattva Heart Sutra’ they cultivate is."

Sand Whale said mysteriously, "Heh heh, Yan Miao, have you ever heard the story of Suxin Zhai?"

"This Disciple does not know. Please enlighten me, Master," Yan Miao said, filled with curiosity.

"Every generation, the saintess of Suxin Zhai’s main lineage must practice a Cultivation Technique called the ’Great Ecstasy Bodhisattva Heart Sutra.’ It’s an unprecedented, top-tier Replenishing Skill."

"What do I mean by unprecedented? By top-tier? It means that as long as the conditions are met, one can easily break through the shackles of a Realm."

"According to legend, the moment the second-generation master of Suxin Zhai completed the technique, she leaped from the First Turn all the way to the Fifth Turn."

"What!!!"

Yan Miao sucked in a sharp breath of cold air, staring at his master in shock, too stunned to speak.

In an era where breaking through from the Third Turn to the Fourth Turn was already incredibly difficult, leaping from the First Turn to the Fifth Turn... just what kind of terrifying Cultivation Technique was this?

Understanding Yan Miao’s shock perfectly, Sand Whale said slowly, "To cultivate the Great Ecstasy Bodhisattva Heart Sutra, the primary condition is to be a virgin."

"The moment that virginity is lost is the moment the technique is completed."

"At the moment of consummation, the Great Ecstasy Bodhisattva Heart Sutra will forcibly devour half of the partner’s cultivation base."

"Even if the user is only at the First Turn, they can go against the current and forcibly devour a Fifth Turn practitioner."
