The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 192. Is it still possible to practice now?
Chapter 192: 192. Is it still possible to practice now?
The northwestern direction of Iron Sword Mountain is a vast plain that stretches beyond the eye can see, with no humans living there due to the presence of beasts and monsters.
In previous years, the location for the trade fair was near Sword Casting City, where a clearing was opened up.
Sects from Jingnan State or rogue cultivators would bring their goods here for sale.
After reviewing the details, Fang Zhou asked Wu Tie a few questions, such as the participants’ accommodations during the trade fair.
Wu Tie’s answers made Fang Zhou frown directly. When the trade fair begins, Sword Casting City dispatches personnel to set up a batch of crude tents for the participants to reside in.
The food and drink are the same as those provided for the city’s miners, and that’s it.
From Wu Tie’s explanation, Fang Zhou understood why the Heavenly Sword Sect’s trade fair could not expand. They seemed to think providing food and shelter was sufficient, with no innovation at all.
After seeing the site, Fang Zhou had a faint idea forming in his mind.
Especially this thousand-mile plain; such a good place left undeveloped and unused is simply wasteful.
Ordinary people fear beasts and monsters, but does the Heavenly Sword Sect also fear them?
Looking at this treasure land, Fang Zhou’s heart gradually spawned a highly ambitious thought.
If successful, he would become the largest real estate developer in the Cultivation World, without exception.
After returning to Sword Casting City, Fang Zhou wandered around the city again, finding it unremarkable, just a large residential area. Sword casting and ore refining were not done within the city.
"Shall we take a look inside Iron Sword Mountain?"
Yu Qing suggested that the interior of Iron Sword Mountain had quite a unique view. Having seen it before, Yu Qing wanted to share it with Fang Zhou.
Wu Tie did not accompany them personally anymore, having noticed Fang Zhou’s visit didn’t seem to have any urgent matters.
"I’ll leave the two of you to it then. Let Wu Lin accompany you."
After Wu Tie departed, Yu Qing led Fang Zhou towards the interior of Iron Sword Mountain.
The entrance was a large cave, but both the ground and walls were chiseled smooth and even, making the walk feel undisturbed.
Fang Zhou saw many miners pushing carts in and out along the way. These miners were all women, and contrary to his impression of emaciated miners, each miner here was tall and robust, with muscles all over, resembling basketball players.
Fang Zhou thought these natives were naturally like this, but it was only after an explanation from Yu Qing that he learned that the Heavenly Sword Sect had specially developed a technique to enhance physical strength for them, named Martial God Technique.
After cultivating the Martial God Technique, they would become muscular all over, making it handy for mining and sword casting. Only when reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm could they control their bodies to revert to normal size.
After hearing this, Fang Zhou felt itching; should he get a copy of the Martial God Technique to practice?
Muscles all over fit the iron man image, and a real man must be powerful, otherwise how could he inherit the Qiao Family’s spirit?
Once inside Iron Sword Mountain, Fang Zhou was immediately stunned by the sight before him.
The entire interior of the mountain was nearly hollowed out, formed into the likeness of a city within the mountain.
Fang Zhou struggled to find the words to describe it with his limited vocabulary, only remembering the series of Magic Ring movies he had seen in his previous life, where the dwarves built cities within mountains, similar to what he now saw.
Perhaps this was the true Sword Casting City, and the one outside was fake.
In the center, there was a huge pit, emitting thick smoke and heat. Approaching it, Fang Zhou saw the bottom filled with rolling magma.
Numerous thick iron chains extended into the magma, with the other end embedded in the mountain walls. Around the pit, there were numerous workshop chambers resembling beehives, constantly throwing down large iron buckets to extract magma, used for ore refining and sword casting.
"Yu Qing Shijie!"
A magnetic voice rang out from the distance.
Fang Zhou and Yu Qing turned to look, seeing a tall, smiling girl walking over.
The girl was about as tall as Fang Zhou, with a heroic and beautiful appearance, short hair, and wheat-colored skin indicating her native identity.
"Wu Lin!"
Yu Qing greeted her with a smile, while Fang Zhou stayed put.
This girl named Wu Lin did not have large muscles like other miners, her figure was tall and well-proportioned, though there were noticeable muscle lines on her arms and thighs.
She wore minimal clothing, her upper body wrapped in a simple cloth around her full chest, her lower body in a short skirt, revealing a slender and strong waist with six-pack abs and mermaid lines.
Wu Lin was drenched in sweat, her wheat-colored skin slick and shiny like it was coated with oil, prompting the urge to touch.
This perfectly balanced combination of strength and beauty was something Fang Zhou had only seen in photoshopped pictures online; he hadn’t expected to witness it in person.
This trip was worth it.
Too bad there wasn’t a camera, otherwise he would definitely take a few shots for keepsake.
Yu Qing and Wu Lin chatted, seeming to have a great relationship, laughing and talking.
Yu Qing pulled Wu Lin over to introduce her to Fang Zhou, revealing that she was Wu Tie’s daughter and Yu Qing’s same-year apprentice sister. She had returned to Iron Sword Mountain only after reaching Foundation Establishment, explaining her close relationship with Yu Qing.
Wu Lin checked Fang Zhou out curiously and smiled, "Taoist Fang, you’re a friend of my sister, so you’re my friend too. If you need anything, just ask, Sword Casting City will go all out."
She spoke similar words to her mother, perhaps a bit lacking in sophistication but brimming with confidence.
Fang Zhou also smiled, "I won’t be polite if needed, but today I’m just here for a visit."
Wu Lin then started showing Fang Zhou and Yu Qing around this city within a volcano.
Inside, it was divided into three main areas: mining area, ore refining area, and sword casting area.
The mining area was at the deepest part of the volcano, where miners extracted Mystic Iron Ore heated red by the magma—extremely hot and dangerous, one misstep and one would fall into the magma, even Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators would instantly be incinerated.
The mining area wasn’t much to see, so Wu Lin focused on showing them around the ore refining and sword casting areas.
Having visited many times, Yu Qing was quite familiar with the place, so Wu Lin mainly introduced it to Fang Zhou.
Fang Zhou asked many questions, and Wu Lin answered them all, soon developing a tacit understanding.
Fang Zhou had no filthy thoughts; this unique girl would naturally prompt any man to interact more.
Of course, if Wu Lin were willing to deepen their interaction, Fang Zhou would certainly welcome it.
Wu Lin probably felt the same way; Fang Zhou seemed different from the men she had met before, straightforward and confident, without any awkwardness just because he was a man.
Wu Lin liked such straightforward men, it really suited her taste.
The two chatted happily, leaving Yu Qing somewhat neglected.
Watching Fang Zhou and Wu Lin laugh and talk, Yu Qing felt a sudden inexplicable tension.
Fang Zhou... might he prefer the type like Wu Lin?
Yu Qing lowered her head, looking at her own fair and tender hands, suddenly feeling a wave of melancholy.
Wondering if it’s too late to start cultivating Martial God Technique now.
