Ji Yuan was absolutely delighted when he saw that he had a 100,000 high grade spirit stones now. This Chu Ren was really a rich cultivator!
Not only did he obtain a 100,000 high grade spirit stones but he had also obtained one additional heaven-step divine sword, among many other cultivation resources.
However he was not delighted.
Because this heaven-step divine sword was bonded to Chu Ren and he knew that it would pain him to lose his divine sword. After all, a cultivator may need a long time to divine harmonize with his divine sword. More often than not, it would not.
If a cultivator manages to divine harmonize with his divine sword, it shows the affinity and the strong bond between sword and cultivator.
He could already imagine himself losing his personal divine sword. The reason why he had divine harmonized with his divine sword was because it was from Jiajia and he treated his divine sword as part of his soul.
At the same time he had also a double divine harmonized with it because of Xiang Li; she was after all using his divine sword as her incubator when they had first met.
When he had thought of Xiang Li, he muttered. "This is too sinful. I can't believe that the two of us just engage in such horrifying self-service in such close proximity without a sense of shame in the world. After I've recovered, I ought to talk to Xiang Li to forget about this incident completely and to tell her never to bring this matter up again."
But all of a sudden Ji Yuan had frozen on the spot.
It was because he had suddenly realized that he did not have Chu Ren's divine sword at all!
What was going on?
WHERE IS MY EXTRA HEAVEN-STEP DIVINE SWORD?!!!
So he prompted summoned his spirit serving attendant to ask, "This must be a mistake, am I right? Where is my divine sword that I've obtained from Chu Ren?!"
The spirit serving attendant giggled softly, "Don't you know that once a divine sword is divine harmonized, it is bonded to the cultivator's soul sea. Just like spirit entities and contracted spirit pets, these cannot be counted as your winning unless of course you can manage to kill the other cultivator. Don't you know the rules?"
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan muttered weakly, "No…"
But his golden eyes were soon rolling with a naughty look as he thought; so my saint-step divine sword cannot be removed from me, am I right? Hohoho…
He began to grin broadly, "You're dismissed and don't follow me."
The spirit serving attendant replied, "I've to remind you that you still owe the trial for the use of the cultivation practice chamber. There will be a daily of 10% interest for each day that you've owe us. And it had been almost five days now…"
Ji Yuan laughed it off, "Why? You think that I cannot pay you? Listen, I am a rich young master now. Haha. So don't worry about this at all. I'll settle it at the end of the day."
The spirit serving attendant seemed to smile, "Alright then. This is just a friendly reminder."
Ji Yuan continued to laugh as he walked away.
The trial spirit must be joking with him. He could not pay his debts? He is rich now!
He began to rub his chin as he laughed silently again; in all the cultivation stories, there are no MCs that will listen to a third POV urging them to pay up because they will always end up embarrassing themselves due to the MCs's golden halo.
And now Ji Yuan felt that he had the MC's golden halo now because he was now feeling freaking rich with his 100,000 high grade spirit stones!
He was finally a rich young master with the MC's golden halo!
As Ji Yuan walked away, the spirit serving attendant began to smirk sweetly, "I like to see how you're going to pay the trial 700,000 high grade spirit stones. 200k is the interest. You've no idea how high is the interest around here."
Ji Yuan was still in jovial mood as he sped past the hallway as he pulled over his hood; he was now too famous in the Fire Faction and he did not want anyone to notice him.
Just as he was about to reach the cultivation hall of the Jade Mansion, a sweet and alluring voice had suddenly float to him. "Ji Yuan, where are you going?"
He turned around and saw that it was Yu Jingjing. "Um?"
Yu Jingjing had an almost bleary look in her golden eyes, "Do you know that I have been so anxious for you? Are you really alright?"
Ji Yuan blinked his golden eyes, "I…am…alright?"
Why does she think that I am not alright?
Yu Jingjing said quietly to him with a melancholy voice, "If you are in trouble and in need of any help, you can share with me. I will do anything to help you."
Ji Yuan gulped as he stared at her buxom and ample figure before he looked down her exposed smooth thighs; I am alright except for this part but you won't be able to help me…
"Excuse me, I'm a little busy…" Ji Yuan said as he was about to walk away. Yu Jingjing's figure was too sinful and he was beginning to lose control of himself.
Xiang Li giggled inside his soul sea, "Maybe Big Brother wants to bang her in your room."
Ji Yuan immediately replied to her in his soul sea, "Xiang Li, even though we may be lecherous but we must have our own principles. Or else we are just scumbags that lust after every beautiful maiden."
"What are we then?" Xiang Li asked innocently as she blinked her eyes.
"Erm…" Xiang Li's question had caught Ji Yuan by surprise as he stammered. "Well…we are scums but we are definitely not scumbags. Got it?"
"Scumbags…scums…is there a difference?" Xiang Li asked.
"Don't disturb me for now, Xiang Li. Go play with yourself first." Then Ji Yuan quickly added. "And make sure you don't let me hear your moaning sounds."
"Ji Yuan?" Yu Jingjing asked when she saw that Ji Yuan seemed to be disorientated and was not focusing on her.
She had once again flashed in front of Ji Yuan to intercept him.
Ji Yuan smiled at her weakly as he felt that he was losing control the more that he was standing in front of her; her charms were really mesmerizing and he could imagine himself jumping upon her like a lusty wolf now. He could only beg her in his mind to quickly go away before he lost control of himself.
"I've something to tell you." Yu Jingjing said firmly. "I can really help you."
Ji Yuan: ???
Help me for what?
Yu Jingjing smiled when she saw that she got Ji Yuan's attention. "I can help you to get back your beard. In the forbidden vault of my celestial sect, I have a special recipe that can help you to regrow your beard, even if you have lost it during your golden body transformation. This is an immortal recipe and you won't find it anywhere else in the Celestial Realm."
Ji Yuan smiled weakly, "There must be a condition, am I right?"
Yu Jingjing nodded shyly, "There is…" Her only condition was that Ji Yuan must look for her and married her as his consort.
"You've to come to my celestial fraternity first."
Ji Yuan rolled his golden eyes. Even though he wanted to get back his beard very much but this was obviously a ruse and he was not going to fall for it.
Although Yu Jingjing is a most beautiful maiden but he has no hope that she will fall in love with him and to share with him an immortal recipe. Surely he must have offended her somehow and he was not being too mindful about it.
He knew that he was sometimes quite careless and with his words and actions so naturally it must be it.
Therefore he could only smile, "Your celestial sect, is an all-female sect am I right?"
Yu Jingjing smiled, "Naturally it is. I am the Holy Oracle Priestess. In my celestial sect the Holy Oracle Sect, there are only maidens there. So I hope that you can make a trip to the Endless Celestial Fraternity to convince my elders to give you the recipe. I can draw you a map. The way there may be treacherous but…"
"No thanks." Ji Yuan said firmly.
Yu Jingjing looked a little startled when Ji Yuan had suddenly said a firm no to her.
While Ji Yuan would do anything to get back his beautiful beard but this trick had already been used by Xue Qianxue on him before.
The same trick cannot be used twice on Ji Yuan because he was not dumb enough to fall for the same trick a second time.
That was why he had said a firm no after Yu Jingjing had told him that her celestial sect is an all-female celestial sect.
She is really too young, too simple. If she wants to trick him then she still has to wait for another 10,000 years but not using this same old trick.
Yu Jingjing looked melancholy. She was actually testing his resolve for her. If he was willing to make the trip to the Endless Celestial Fraternity to look for her then she would be convinced that he was interested in her and her heart would be moved.
But Ji Yuan had said no to her immediately.
He really has backbone. He is not willing to bend his back for anyone even though I've the immortal recipe to help him to regrow his beard back…
Yu Jingjing could only heave a soft melancholy sigh; in her celestial sect, there is the one and only immortal recipe that could help men and women to regain back their pubic hair…
All of a sudden Yu Jingjing gasped aloud as she suddenly pointed at the bulge that was below Ji Yuan; his lower part suddenly had a wet patch.
Ji Yuan was startled too as he had suddenly lost control after staring at Yu Jingjing. The masculine profound pills that he had taken were simply too powerful.
He stammered panicky, "I need to go now."
And he quickly sped off with great awkwardness.
Yu Jingjing was greatly flustered by what she was seeing.
But she was soon giggling softly, "He likes me or else he won't have such a big reaction after looking at me. He doesn't need to be so awkward over it because we aren't kids. If he likes me then he should just let me know directly instead. I can help him to calm his passions down…"
With another smile, "He only rejects my offer to help because he is so shy and not because he isn't interested in me. If he is not interested in me, he won't have this reaction…"
