**************** 　　... 　　"Young friend Yuqiang? You're here to see me, right? Is there some new footage for sale?" Lance whispered to him. 　　Having learned from his previous experience, Shou'er knew Lance could multitask, simultaneously conducting transactions 　　and whispering to him, so he wasn't as surprised this time. 　　"Yes. Fellow Daoist Lan, do you remember when I told you about stopping the sale of the Shi Jinghua footage I gave you 　　?" Shou'er whispered back. 　　"I remember. So you secretly filmed a replacement? But I told you last time that the replacement must 　　be very similar to the original Shi Jinghua footage, and the female lead must at least be ranked similarly on the ranking list 　　, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to my master." 　　"Fellow Daoist Lan, how many times have I told you? I didn't secretly film it; I commissioned a senior member of my family. 　　As for the other requirements, they're all fine; they completely meet your needs." 　　"Good, that's good. I'll take a closer look after I finish with these clients," Lance whispered back. 　　"Hmm." 　　Shou'er thought he wouldn't have to wait long, but before the old customers had all left, a number of new customers kept coming and 　　crowding into the alley. He waited for more than an hour, and Lance only finished his work when the sun was setting. He then led Shou'er 　　to an even more secluded alley. 　　"Let's check the goods first," Lance said with a half-smile. 　　Shou'er took out a recording stone and channeled his true energy into the image-releasing array on it 　　. A screen of light shone from the transparent crystal hole on the stone. The various alluring scenes of Ji Yuan that he had just secretly filmed earlier were displayed in front of Lance. 　　Lance carefully looked at every detail of the image without saying a word, looking very professional. When he saw 　　Ji Yuan's waist tag appear on the image, he specifically took out the list of reservation holders from his storage bag. 　　"Ji Yuan from the Dao Shen Sect's Merit Hall? Fifty-one reservation holders, fifth in the outer sect of the Dao Shen Sect. The ranking is not bad 　　, but..." Lance frowned as he looked at the image, hesitating to speak. 　　"But what?" Shou'er asked hastily, afraid he wouldn't agree to the replacement. 　　"Alas, this Ji Yuan is beautiful and ranks well, but her cunt down there can't compare to that Shi Jinghua's 　　. She's neither a virgin nor a renowned beauty, how can such images sell well?" Lance seemed 　　dissatisfied with the images. 　　"Fellow Daoist Lan, that's not necessarily true. You don't know, this Ji Yuan has a special status; her images might 　　sell even better." Shou'er quickly tempted him. 　　"This… I'll discuss it with my master." Lance said, but his expression clearly indicated he was making excuses. 　　"Fellow Daoist Lan, you won't even help with such a small matter? In that case, we don't need to cooperate anymore. 　　I was originally planning to secretly film a few more beautiful female cultivators ranked higher, but it seems I won't need to." Shou'er 　　feigned anger when she saw that Lance's attempts to reason with him were useless. 　　"No, don't be angry. Young friend Yuqiang, I didn't say it couldn't be replaced... Sigh, fine, let's replace it then. 　　I'll remove that Shi Jinghua image from the sales database right now, is that alright?" Sure enough, as soon as Shou'er got angry, 　　Lance immediately compromised. 　　"Hehe, that's more like it." Shou'er smiled with satisfaction. 　　"However, young friend Yuqiang, removing Shi Jinghua's image is fine, but can you tell me the truth 　　?" 　　"What truth?" Shou'er asked warily. 　　"Has that Shi Jinghua already slept with you? Otherwise, why are you doing this?" Lance stared into Shou'er's 　　eyes and asked. 　　"No, that's not true, Fellow Daoist Lan, you can't just say things like that, it will tarnish her reputation." Shou'er pretended to be righteous and indignant 　　. 　　Lance put an arm around his shoulder and winked, "Hehe, you can't lie, you know 　　? I never expected you to be so amazing at such a young age? You even conquered a master of a famous weapon?" 　　Shou'er already knew that Lance could see right through him. His face flushed, but he still shook his head like a rattle drum 　　, "Don't talk nonsense, Fellow Daoist Lan, it's really not what you think." 　　"Hehehe!" Lance just looked at him with a wicked smile and didn't say anything. 　　"Fellow Daoist Lan, do you want to send a message to those old customers who have booked Ji Yuan's videos right away?" Shou'er 　　felt uneasy from his laughter and immediately changed the subject. 　　"Yes, I'll send the message right away." Lance, who was usually playful, became serious as soon as business was involved. As he 　　spoke, he took out a white communication jade talisman from his waist to send the message. 　　Shou'er then noticed that Lance already possessed a communication jade talisman. Watching him casually contact 　　clients dozens of miles away, Shou'er shook his head repeatedly, "Sigh, it seems like everyone I know has a communication jade talisman, 　　but I don't? I'll wait another two months until I buy Grandpa and Grandma the high-grade longevity pills, then I'll buy one too." 　　Seeing Shi Jinghua's image removed from the sales catalog, Shou'er finally fulfilled his promise to Senior Sister Jinghua and 　　happily returned to the Spirit Beast Valley. 　　When he pushed open the door of Shiwa's house, the sun was still high in the west. There was no sign of him inside; he must have 　　gone to the valley to feed the spirit beasts as he had instructed. Since Shou'er had only taught him for an afternoon, he 　　was still a little worried about him, so he headed deeper into the Spirit Beast Valley to search for him. After flying into the valley for about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, he...

From afar, they could see Shiwa's unusually tall figure carrying a large animal skin bag, but there was someone beside him—
Senior Brother Zhong. They could see Senior Brother Zhong standing there, pointing and instructing, while Shiwa diligently followed his instructions,
taking various foods from the bag and activating the feeding array to feed the spirit beasts—this scene was so familiar. Shou'er vaguely remembered that
two or three years ago, when he first arrived at the Spirit Beast Valley, Senior Brother Zhong had also guided him in this way, teaching him how to
feed the spirit beasts.
"Senior Brother Zhong!" At that moment, gazing at that all-too-familiar figure bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun
, Shou'er was inexplicably moved. He stood there, watching the two from afar, speechless and choked with emotion.
...
"Master, Senior Uncle, who is the most beautiful female fairy in our Dao Shen Sect?" Shiwa asked curiously,
clearly already considering himself a disciple of the Dao Shen Sect.
"Fairy Ya. Fairy Ya is not only the most beautiful cultivator in our Dao Shen Sect, but also undoubtedly the most beautiful among the three
major sects of Yiyang Prefecture," Zhong Guangnan said decisively.
"Fairy Ya? How beautiful? Is she even more beautiful than Sister Antelope from our village? Master, you know Sister Antelope, do you think
Fairy Ya can compare to Sister Antelope after she's become more beautiful?"
"This... I've never seen Fairy Ya, so I'm not too sure," Shou'er said awkwardly. "
Uncle-Master, you've seen Fairy Ya?"
"More than that, I even have her portrait here," Zhong Guangnan said proudly.
"Really? Uncle-Master, quickly take it out and let me see. I don't believe she can compare to Sister Antelope from our village."
"Alright! I'll take it out and let you see. But Shiwa, you must never
compare the beauties from your village to Fairy Ya when you meet people in the future, or people will laugh at you for being unsophisticated." As he spoke, Zhong Guangnan took out a scroll from his storage
bag and slowly unfurled it in front of the campfire.
Shiwa quickly leaned closer to look, but Shou'er immediately recognized the scroll as being from Master Lance's hand.
He had seen portraits of Fairy Ya before, and since it wasn't a direct copy, he didn't lean in to look.
"My goodness, so beautiful! Is this the legendary fairy? I've never seen such a
beautiful fairy before. Hey? Uncle-Master, why does that man in the portrait look so familiar? He looks so much like you!"
Shiwa asked curiously.
"Silly boy, that's your Uncle-Master. Why are you looking at me? I'm showing you Fairy Ya."
"Of course I've seen Fairy Ya! I'm just curious who's so lucky to be able to paint a portrait with such a beautiful Fairy Ya
?" Shiwa explained.
"What? Painting a portrait with Fairy Ya?" Shou'er, who had just picked up a piece of roasted meat and was about to put it in his mouth,
was so shocked by Shiwa's words that he dropped the knife and the meat to the ground. He knew that [Mirage Island Curiosity Shop]
too well; he knew what kind of picture it was just by hearing its name—it was one of those erotic illusion paintings. Shou'er had thought
that Senior Brother Zhong had only bought an ordinary portrait of Fairy Ya, but he hadn't expected that he would actually spend a high price to commission such an obscene
illusion painting depicting him having sex with Fairy Ya?
"Master, what's wrong? The meat fell on the ground."
"It's nothing, it's too hot."
At dinner time, a bonfire was lit again in the Spirit Beast Valley. Senior Brother Zhong, Shiwa, and Shou'er sat around the bonfire,
roasting fragrant beast meat and chatting and laughing together.
After dinner, Shou'er guided Shiwa to slowly experience the process of guiding qi into the body and comprehending spiritual energy to enter a meditative state. Then, Shou'er began
to calmly refine his intermediate-level talismans again. Successfully refining ten intermediate-level talismans every day was his self-imposed task. He
would go to Shi Jinghua for dual cultivation whenever he finished.
More than an hour later, after putting away the ten mid-level Explosive Flame Talismans he had refined, Shou'er donned an invisibility cloak and
vanished from the Spirit Beast Valley, speeding towards the main peak's dining hall.
He then slipped into the bedroom through a secret passage five zhang behind the back wall of Shi Jinghua's courtyard. Seeing the
exceptionally beautiful Shi Jinghua still meditating on the fragrant couch, Shou'er skillfully took out the array flags and array plates for two magic arrays and placed them in the four
corners of the bedroom, activating the arrays. Just as he was about to take out the Moonflower Divine Beast's remains from his storage ring, he heard
Shi Jinghua, who was meditating on the fragrant couch, speak:
"Senior? Is that you?"
"Strange, how could Senior Sister Jinghua sense me?" Shou'er was startled. He quickly checked his
invisibility cloak, but after looking for a long time, he found nothing amiss, and now he was completely puzzled.
After hesitating for a moment, he still managed to reply in a very aged voice, "Yes, girl, I just took
some time to let my spirit visit."
"You really came? I thought it was my imagination, but it's true..."
"Eh? Girl, I was wondering how you could sense my spirit?" Shou'er seized the opportunity
to stare at Shi Jinghua and ask.
A blush immediately rose on Shi Jinghua's pretty face: "Well... I just can sense it."
"Oh?" Shou'er was suspicious, unable to figure out the problem.
"Senior, do you remember what you said three days ago?"
"Yes, I was just about to tell you. My junior disciple has arrived there and told me he
's already started working on it. Perhaps you'll receive some wonderful news tomorrow. That female
cultivator named Ji Yuan will be disgraced as you wish."
"Really? I... I thought you were just joking with me, senior, but I didn't expect... you
really are helping me..." Shi Jinghua began to sob.
Shou'er looked at Shi Jinghua's helpless state and really wanted to rush over and hug her to comfort her
, but reason told him he couldn't. He could only suppress his pity and say, "Girl,
what are you saying? I'm over a thousand years old, why would I lie to a little kid like you? Just wait for the good news in the next day or two."
"Yes, thank you, senior." With that, Shi Jinghua got off the fragrant couch and bowed deeply in the direction from which the "senior" had spoken
.
"Alright, alright, no need for formalities. Quickly seize the time to cultivate. Remember, cultivation is
the foundation for standing firm in this cultivation world."
"Yes. However, senior, this junior has a question I'd like to ask."
"Speak."
"Every night I dream that senior appears to me in my dreams… I wonder if that's true or not? Because it's always…"
"I do some absurd things in my dreams, so I've always wanted to find an opportunity to ask you about them in person." Shi Jinghua
asked, her face flushed.
"It's true, I did indeed appear in your dream..."
"Oh, I understand." Shi Jinghua's face grew even redder.
When Shou'er once again took out the fragments of the Moon Beast's remains and cast a spell to let Shi Jinghua enter the dream, this time Shi Jinghua
actually took the initiative to ask for dual cultivation. There was no need to explain again and again as before. Shou'er realized that
the conversation in reality had played a certain role.
This time, Shou'er smoothly carried the obedient Shi Jinghua to the
secret cave he had dug behind the main peak. After Shou'er had set up the two mid-level concealment and sound-blocking arrays outside the cave entrance, he entered the cave
. The beautiful Shi Jinghua was already naked, lying quietly on the soft quilt with her
two long, beautiful legs spread wide, waiting for Shou'er to enter. Soon, the small cave echoed with increasingly intense
"slap slap slap... slap slap slap" sounds of flesh colliding, as the pair of illicit lovers began another night of "arduous
" dual cultivation.
Outside the cave, behind a boulder in the mountains, a vortex of spiritual energy gradually gathered, expanding and slowly
rotating. Streams of pure spiritual energy surged into the cave, absorbed by the two.
Their meridians were constantly tempered under the powerful impact of this spiritual energy, and it was noticeable that Shou'er's meridians
were becoming increasingly wide and resilient.
The next day at lunchtime, Shou'er hurriedly pulled his thick, long penis from Luo Ling's body, who was now completely limp from ejaculation, and rushed back
to the Dao Shen Sect's dining hall. He wanted to know how the sect disciples had reacted to Ji Yuan's image being sold for a day.
Entering the large dining hall, he saw that quite a few people had already arrived. He went to the window and saw that the fat man responsible for serving rice and dishes wasn't there
, which reassured him. Shou'er carried her food and searched for a suitable spot in the dining hall.
The hall was filled with disciples in twos and threes, all talking amongst themselves with interesting expressions. Shou'er immediately
spotted four people sitting in the far corner, also whispering and occasionally letting out lewd laughter. They were familiar faces
—it was Senior Brother Lin from the Weapon Refining Pavilion and his group. Next to them sat the simple-minded eldest
brother, still quietly eating with his head down. Shou'er carried her food over to him.
As she sat down next to him, the guy was still eavesdropping on the conversation of the four next to him, completely oblivious
to Shou'er.
"Senior Brother Lin, have you heard? Images of Ji Yuan, the Daoist companion of Hall Master Sun of the Enforcement Hall, started circulating wildly yesterday,"
asked the thin-faced disciple among the four.
"Oh? She's only ranked fifth on the outer sect's beauty ranking list, right? Nothing special, is she?"
said Senior Brother Lin, the burly man with a full beard.
"Hehe, sounds pretty exciting! I heard that Ji Yuan wasn't wearing any underpants under her skirt, just swaggering
around exposing herself in the Merit Hall warehouse for the junior brothers to see." The thin-faced disciple laughed.
"Really? They even filmed that? Wouldn't Hall Master Sun of the Enforcement Hall be furious if he saw that?"
A disciple whose face had been pale asked.
"Yes, Junior Brother Si, you can't joke about things like this. If the Enforcement Hall hears about it, they'll arrest you
for spreading rumors. Hall Master Sun is not someone to mess with." Even the usually fierce
Senior Brother Lin started to say this when Hall Master Sun of the Enforcement Hall was mentioned.
"I'm not making this up. I saw the video. One of my classmates from the Dao God Academy is
from the Merit Hall. He's always admired Ji Yuan, so he ordered a video of her a long time ago. He only received it yesterday afternoon...
"
"Oh? So it's true? But who has the guts to secretly film Hall Master Sun's Daoist partner?" Senior Brother Lin
asked.
"I specifically checked the imprint on that image, and it's that [Jade Spear Divine Lord]'s mark again," Junior Brother Si said.
"[Jade Spear Divine Lord]? So that's the expert. No wonder. All his images are top-notch.
Maybe I should buy a copy this afternoon?"
"How much spirit stones for a copy, Junior Brother Si?" the pale-faced disciple asked.
"It seems cheaper than the image of the 'Flower of the Dining Hall,' only ten low-grade spirit stones."
"Hehe, the Daoist partner of the Hall Master of Enforcement is openly seducing the junior brother? That sounds exciting! I'll buy a copy too,"
the disciple who hadn't spoken until now couldn't help but say.
"Hehehe, actually I've always disliked that arrogant Hall Master Sun, serves him right! I'll buy a copy too, so
when he bullies people again, I can show everyone how sassy his good Daoist partner is..."
...
"Hey? When did you sit down here? Get away from me quickly. Don't let others know we know each other."
Shou'er was eavesdropping on the conversation of the four people next to him when suddenly the big brother noticed him and whispered a warning.
"Senior brother, is it really necessary to be so careful?" Shou'er said disdainfully.
"Sigh, you don't know how powerful that bastard Sun Jian is. If he finds out I was involved this time, I
'm dead. You'd better get away from me quickly."
"Okay, I'll leave now." Shou'er had no choice but to leave reluctantly and sit down at a table away from him.
"I say, senior brother, you got revenge on Sun Jian this time, why do you look so unhappy?" Shou'er whispered
.
"You idiot, I thought you were just bragging, but I didn't expect you to actually hire that [Jade Spear God] to do
it. This time you're probably going to really piss off Sun Jian, what's there to be happy about! You'd better pray you don't get caught
." The simple-minded brother seemed genuinely afraid of Sun Jian.
"Is Sun Jian that scary? Why are you so frightened?" Shou'er asked, puzzled. "Sigh, you're still too young, you haven't seen the devil in this world yet. You'll know 　　how powerful he is
when he finds out ." 　　"Tch!" Shou'er scoffed. 　　Chapter 45 　　Time flies like an arrow, and three days passed in a flash. Although Shou'er spoke very confidently to the simple-minded brother, 　　seemingly disdainful of Sun Jian, he was actually very worried about being found out by the Enforcement Hall Master, Sun Jian. For the past 　　three days, Shou'er had lived cautiously, like a frightened rabbit, his heart pounding at the slightest disturbance.

For the past three days, he hadn't dared to go to the dining hall to talk to his older brother, Da Tou. Instead, he
stayed obediently in the Spirit Beast Valley, nurturing the stone child and refining mid-level talismans, except during his dual cultivation time.
Seeing that three days had passed without any unusual activity within the sect, Shou'er grew
bolder. That afternoon, after ejaculating his last drop of yang essence into Luo Ling's body, he hurriedly slipped back to the sect and rushed
into the dining hall, intending to find out what Sun Jian's latest movements had been.
Shou'er entered the main dining hall and glanced around, noticing that there were many more people eating there than before, a bustling
and crowded scene. A long queue had already formed at the food windows, with people whispering
amongst themselves. Shou'er walked to the end of the queue and waited to get his food, listening intently to what his senior brothers and sisters were discussing.
"Senior sister, have you heard about Senior Sister Ji Yuan?" asked a female disciple in an outer sect robe, two people ahead of him
.
"I've heard about it. She's usually so kind to everyone. I never imagined she'd be that kind of person,"
said a female disciple standing next to the person who had spoken.
"Shh! Senior Sister, don't talk nonsense. I don't think Senior Sister Ji Yuan is the kind of person the rumors say. Someone is definitely deliberately
slandering her."
"What slander? The images are crystal clear! I heard the most damning thing is
what she muttered to herself while using the toilet, which immediately exposed her true nature."
"Is the legendary image really that magical? It can even record images and sounds?"
"Yes, I heard it's a kind of magical object called a recording stone, which can reproduce a person's every move, even every word,
so this time Ji Yuan can't deny it."
"How amazing! I want to buy one too to see if it's really like the rumors say: I heard that Senior Sister Ji Yuan
wears a very peculiar kind of underpants under her skirt, which made a bunch of male disciples drool over her..."
"Hehe, I heard that too. I really want to see what kind of style it is."
"Senior Sister, with such a good figure, you would definitely be captivating if you wore those underpants."
"Women's focus is indeed different from men's." Shou'er shook her head and sighed to herself as she listened to her two senior sisters' discussion
.
After finally getting his food in line, Shou'er turned to choose a seat and was stunned by what he saw:
several tables in the restaurant were occupied by female disciples. Normally, it was male disciples who ate in the restaurant, while the female disciples mostly
took their food home. What was going on today?
Shou'er carefully observed the tables of female disciples scattered in various corners. Suddenly, his gaze narrowed, focusing
intently on one table, because the four senior sisters there seemed familiar.
"Are they the beautiful senior sisters from the Merit Hall's reception area? Why are they eating in the restaurant too?
Are they discussing something? Don't they want to go back and have the stewards overhear?" Shou'er wondered to himself.
"Perfect, I'll go over and listen to what they're saying." Shou'er walked towards the Merit Hall senior sisters.
Unfortunately, the tables around theirs were already filled with male disciples, surrounding them completely. And
those male disciples were all pretending to eat with their heads down, but actually, they were eavesdropping. Helpless, Shou'er could only
sit down at a table away and concentrate on listening to the conversation of the senior sisters. Fortunately, the male disciples at the surrounding tables were also eavesdropping,
so there was no noise, and Shou'er could clearly hear the conversation of the senior sisters in the Merit Hall.
"Senior Sister Pang, you have to believe it now, right? This morning, Senior Brother Lian, Junior Brother Qiang, and the other three warehouse managers packed up
their bedding and left. I heard they were all sent to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall. Even Senior Sister Ji Yuan didn't wear her usual
short skirt today, but changed into the same outer sect robes as us." Because of the male cultivators at the next table
, Shou'er couldn't see the speaker clearly, but could only hear a pleasant female voice.
"Sigh, it seems the rumors are true. I really can't believe that Senior Sister Ji Yuan, who is usually so good to us, could
do such a thing?" It must be Senior Sister Pang's voice.
"You can know a person's face but not their heart. Senior Sister Pang, you're too kind. It's just that Senior Brother Lian is also in trouble this time
. He's such an upright person, it's all because of Senior Sister Ji Yuan. Humph!" another female voice said indignantly.
"Senior Brother Lian is upright? Hehe, Junior Sister Lei, everyone knows you like Senior Brother Lian, but you can't blame
everything on Senior Sister Ji Yuan, can you? I heard that in that widely circulated video, even the supposedly upright Senior Brother Lian
got an erection. Hahaha!" another female voice joined the discussion.
"Senior Sister Song, don't talk nonsense. Senior Brother Lian is not that kind of person. I've known him for so long and I
've never seen him like that." Junior Sister Lei retorted.
"Hmph, Junior Sister Lei, we don't have the privilege of wearing pretty dresses. We wear these awful outer
sect robes every day, so of course Senior Brother Lian won't react. If you wore those legendary ribbon underpants,
I bet your upright Senior Brother Lian would react immediately, hahaha!" Senior Sister Song teased.
"You... I'll go buy a copy of that video this afternoon. I want to see if Senior Brother Lian is really as incompetent as you say
," Junior Sister Lei said angrily.
"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing. I also want to see that legendary video. How about we pool our money
to buy it? I heard it costs ten low-grade spirit stones, which is several months' salary for us."
"Count me in, I'll pool my money too."
"Hehe, count me in too, but I can only contribute two low-grade spirit stones."
"That's great! Since everyone agrees to pool their spirit stones, it won't be a big burden for anyone. But do you know
where to buy that video?" Junior Sister Lei asked.
"I heard it's at a shop in the market called... Mirage something."
"By the way, I heard you have to specify the name [Jade Spear God]."
"Jade Spear God? Who is he?"
"Jade Spear God is said to be the one who secretly filmed him."
"Pervert!" the other three girls exclaimed in unison.
Hearing the beautiful senior sisters at the Merit Hall reception desk, whom she had previously admired, all cursing her,
Shou'er quickly finished her porridge in one gulp, then lowered her head and slunk out of the restaurant.
"Sigh, I've ruined such a prestigious name as [Jade Spear God]!" Shou'er
sighed inwardly as she slipped out of the dining hall.
Shou'er learned a lot from the conversation of the beautiful senior sisters at the front desk of the Merit Hall. At least he knew that Ji Yuan
had definitely been punished, but he didn't expect that four storekeepers of the Merit Hall would also be implicated.
"Sun Jian is really arrogant. His own Daoist partner actively seduced someone else, and in the end, he still blames her?"
Shou'er felt indignant for the four storekeepers who were punished.
"But Sun Jian's actions mean that he can't find me, so he's taking his anger out on those insignificant storekeepers,
right?" Shou'er secretly guessed.
Shou'er had been cooped up for three days and finally got out, so he didn't plan to go back. Instead, he headed to the market
to ask Lance if anyone from the Dao God Sect's Enforcement Hall had come to him to inquire about him. This was what he had been most worried
about.
Shou'er quickly applied some simple makeup and entered the market. He easily found himself in the alley where Lance often sold his photographs.
At the end of the alley, he saw Lance's busy figure, surrounded by a large crowd. Business was clearly
much better than the last time he'd seen him. Fearing recognition from his fellow disciples, Shou'er, as before, hid at the alley
entrance and waited for Lance. However, two or three mysterious figures cloaked and their faces obscured caught Shou'er
's attention.
"So sneaky and secretive in broad daylight...could they be spies from the Enforcement Hall?" Shou'er
warily observed the three cloaked figures from a distance.
But soon, he saw one of the mysterious figures exchange photographic stones with Lance, along with a red and white striped
cloth. After the cloaked figure finished the transaction, she turned and left. However, once she was far away from the
group, she secretly took out the red and white strip of cloth and examined it repeatedly until she was almost at the alley entrance before quickly
putting it away again.
"So she's a female cultivator! Is she dressed like that to avoid being recognized?" Shou'er, hiding in the corner of the alley entrance,
caught a glimpse of the mysterious figure's high breasts under the loose cloak as she hurried away.
After waiting for a long time and watching the remaining two cloaked figures walk out of the alley, Shou'er finally breathed a sigh of
relief.
"Sigh, all that tension for nothing. They're both female cultivators. I guess they're afraid of being recognized by their fellow disciples, just like me
?"
Once the three mysterious figures disappeared, Shou'er grew bolder and began to loiter at the alley entrance, hoping to get
Lance to speak to her privately.
"Young friend Jade Spear! Oh dear, why did you take so long to show yourself? I have good news for you." Sure enough, Lance noticed
him and whispered to him.
"Oh? What good news?"
"I didn't expect the new Ji Yuan video you gave me to sell so well! It's just as
good as Shi Jinghua's, and there's even a surprising new development." Lance said happily, and Shou'er could
hear the surprise in his tone.
"A surprising new development? What is it?"
"This time, a female cultivator actually came to buy the video, that's really rare. I've been selling for so many years and I've rarely encountered
anything like this." Lance said excitedly.
"I saw it, but what are those red and white ribbons they bought?"
"Hehe, you should know best."
"I didn't see it clearly. What is it?"
"Hehe, isn't it the ribbon-covered underpants that Ji Yuan wore in the video you secretly photographed?"
"Ah? It's that? But... why are you still selling that kind of thing?" Shou'er was quite surprised.
"Isn't it all because everyone who came to buy the videos was asking about it? Many people want to buy it for their Daoist partners, so we couldn't
miss this business opportunity. Therefore, my skillful master worked through the night to make dozens of pairs of ribbon underpants exactly like those in the videos,"
Lance explained.
"Ah? Your master can make female cultivator underpants?" Shou'er's mouth dropped open upon hearing this.
"Yes, my master is very skillful. He can not only draw but also make many little things."
"Since it was made by your master, those ribbon underpants must be expensive, right?" Shou'er asked.
"Cheap, only one low-grade spirit stone."
"That's outrageous! A piece of rag dares to sell for one low-grade spirit stone? That could buy two low-level talismans."
Compared to Lance and his master, Shou'er felt increasingly that his talisman-making business was unprofitable. They
could earn more by simply sewing a piece of rag than by painstakingly making talismans.
"Hehe, young friend, it seems you don't know your stuff. The more female cultivators' items you buy, the more profitable they are, you know?
The lowest grade Preservation Pill can sell for two hundred low-grade spirit stones, and the lowest grade Nourishing Pill can sell for over a thousand low-grade
spirit stones. So, if you want to earn more spirit stones, the best thing to do is sell to female cultivators!"
"Sell to female cultivators exclusively?" Shou'er was greatly struck by Lance's words, as if struck by a thunderbolt.
"Young friend, you've come to see me for something, haven't you? Are you here to ask for your share of the profits?"
"No, I've come to ask if anyone from the Dao Shen Sect's Enforcement Hall has tried to find out about me."
"Don't worry about that. Didn't I tell you before? I'll absolutely keep it a secret. Besides
, my master and I have been running this shop here for decades. My master has a connection with Peak Master Lü of the East Peak of the Dao Shen Sect; otherwise,
how could we dare to open this kind of shop on Dao Shen Sect territory?"
"Oh, then I'm relieved." Shou'er finished speaking and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute, I'll give you a pair of these ribbon-embroidered underpants," Lance said urgently.
"What use would I have for a female cultivator's underpants?" Shou'er asked, puzzled.
"Idiot, give them to Shi Jinghua! You have to buy women little gifts to appease them, that's how you'll
make them devoted to you."
"Oh dear, Fellow Daoist Lan, I've told you so many times: I have nothing to do with Shi Jinghua," Shou'er hurriedly explained
.
"Hehehe, if you slept with her, what's there to be ashamed of? I won't tell her partner."
"You…" Shou'er's face flushed red instantly, and she turned and ran away, ignoring Lance's
whispered calls behind her.
On her way back to the sect, Shou'er unexpectedly encountered two familiar faces—the two beautiful
senior sisters at the front desk of the Merit Hall. Seeing them whispering and acting shyly on the road, Shou'er had an idea.
After passing them, Shou'er quickly hid behind a boulder, took out an invisibility cloak, and put it on.
Then she turned back to chase after the two beautiful senior sisters. Shou'er was in a hurry and quickly caught up with them.
"Senior Sister Pang, we're getting closer and closer to the market. I... I'm a little embarrassed to buy that image.
Will our fellow disciples gossip if they see us?"
"Don't worry, Junior Sister Lei. There's a small grove ahead. Let's go in and change out of our sect robes, then cover
our faces with cloths and no one will recognize us," Senior Sister Pang said.
"Hehe, good idea. Senior Sister Pang is so experienced," Junior Sister Lei laughed.
"Oh, it's nothing. I've learned my lesson. Speaking of experience, Junior Sister Lei, why do you like
Junior Brother Lian? He's just an outer disciple, and now he's been punished and sent to the miscellaneous affairs hall. Will you still contact him in the future
?" Senior Sister Pang asked earnestly.
"So what if he's an outer disciple? I'm an outer disciple too. I like Senior Brother Lian's character," Junior Sister Lei
pouted. Shou'er was eavesdropping from behind the two of them. For some reason, when he heard the pure and pretty Junior Sister Lei
say such things, his liking for her increased significantly.
"Hehe, character? Junior Sister Lei, you're still too young. Some men will put on an act in front of you.
Later, when we buy that video, if Junior Brother Lian really did peep under Ji Yuan's skirt as Junior Sister Song said, and even
had an arousal, would you still think he's a good person?" Senior Sister Pang said seriously.
"This..." Junior Sister Lei lowered her head and remained silent, as if she was having a hard time making a decision.
"Junior Sister Lei, as someone who's been through it all, I can tell you responsibly: all men are the same.
Where is there any gentleman who can remain unmoved by a woman's advances? At least I've never seen one. So, it's better to choose a more promising
Daoist partner, at least an inner disciple, right? With your looks, even inner disciples would be lining up to
choose you." Senior Sister Pang advised earnestly. Shou'er, listening behind her, really wanted to curse her out.
"It's all that [Jade Spear God]'s fault! If it weren't for him, Senior Brother Lian wouldn't have gotten involved. Senior Sister Pang, do you think
anyone will accept that bounty mission that the Enforcement Hall issued today?" The quick-witted Junior Sister Lei clearly wasn't going to listen to Senior Sister Pang
's lecture, so she changed the subject.
"You mean that super high reward mission with a bounty for clues about [Jade Spear God]?" Senior Sister Pang was indeed led
astray.
"Yes, that's the bounty mission. Do you think [Jade Spear God] will be caught?"
"That's hard to say. It's said that this [Jade Spear God] is incredibly powerful. He even secretly filmed
Junior Sister Shi in the dining hall before. It's been many days and nothing's happened, hasn't it?"
"Ah? Really? So this [Jade Spear God] isn't a first-time offender? What a pervert!" Junior
Sister Lei said angrily.
"Yeah, this [Jade Spear God] is indeed very perverted!" Senior Sister Pang also said, this time the two of them surprisingly
agreed.
After hearing the two mention the extremely high reward bounty, Shou'er lost interest in following them any longer; he
had already achieved his goal of gathering further information. So he turned and sped towards the sect,
wanting to personally see just how high the reward of that so-called extremely high bounty really was in the Merit Hall's front hall.
When Shou'er arrived at the Merit Hall, it was already packed with people, all gathered around a large notice board. Shou'er squeezed
in and saw that it was indeed the extremely high reward bounty posted by the Enforcement Hall. Although it was written in
a long, righteous tone, Shou'er felt it could be summarized in three sentences:
1. A scathing denunciation of the [Jade Spear God]'s recent misdeeds;
2. A reward of one hundred sect contribution points for anyone providing valid clues about the [Jade Spear God];
3. An additional reward of one hundred sect contribution points if the [Jade Spear God] is captured based on the provided clues.
"You, Sun Jian! How dare you abuse public office for personal gain? It's clearly your own Daoist partner's matter, yet you're using the Enforcement Hall's name to
offer such a high reward?" Shou'er was furious at the murmurs of his fellow disciples.
He wanted to shout three times to the large circle of comrades:
"Fellow disciples, don't be fooled! This is Sun Jian's personal matter, it has nothing to do with you! Don't
get involved!"
But Shou'er could only worry in his heart; he couldn't shout it out loud. So he became even angrier at
Sun Jian for abusing his power.
"Sun Jian, you old scoundrel! Originally, I was just helping someone get revenge because your Daoist partner was bullying others, so we were even. But I didn't expect you
to be so despicable, actually using the sect's name to do your own thing. Since you want to fight, don't blame me for being impolite
!" Shou'er was determined to teach Sun Jian a lesson.
Shou'er didn't want to linger in the crowded Merit Hall. Feeling guilty, he feared
being noticed by someone in the sect like Lance, who could see right through people. So he quickly turned and slipped out of the Merit Hall.
But…
"That tall figure walking towards the front desk looks so familiar… Could it be Brother Daitou?"
Before leaving the Merit Hall, Shou'er glanced around one last time, and out of the corner of his eye,
he caught sight of someone walking towards the registration desk from the crowd watching the bounty missions. That tall
figure looked very familiar to Shou'er.
Shou'er was shocked! If anyone in the entire sect knew the most about Ji Yuan being secretly photographed, besides Shou'er,
it was undoubtedly Brother Daitou.
"This money-grubbing guy, could he really be tempted by that huge reward? Is he going
to betray us?" Shou'er couldn't believe his eyes.
In her desperation, Shou'er disregarded the strange looks from others and had no choice but to return to the hall. She hurriedly
squeezed through the crowd, turned her back, and stood not far from the front desk where she could register for the mission, listening intently:
"Junior sister, could you tell me about that super high reward bounty mission posted in the hall? If
the information provided isn't about [Jade Spear God] himself, but about someone related to him, will there be a reward?" It was Dai Tou's
voice asking.
"That money-grubbing bastard! He's actually going to betray me for a high reward!" Shou'er felt
as if she'd been struck by lightning upon hearing Dai Tou's question!
