The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 216. Enhance combat effectiveness

"Disciple, give your master a role too."

Ling Xiaoyue grinned at Fang Zhou.

Fang Zhou pretended not to hear, completely unwilling to respond to her.

This troublemaker, out of nowhere, decided to visit the theatre troupe. He had no idea what went wrong with her, but she suddenly wanted to act in "Journey to the West," and even more surprisingly, she wanted to play Tang Xuanzang.

The actors in "Journey to the West" were very dedicated and worked well with each other. Fang Zhou didn’t want to replace anyone casually.

But Ling Xiaoyue was relentless, stubbornly arguing, "I’m your master, aren’t you giving me any face?"

Fang Zhou said impatiently: "One must be fair and just to gain respect from others. Since you are my master, I can’t just let you take shortcuts. Now get lost."

Seeing that Fang Zhou was resolute, refusing to give her any face, Ling Xiaoyue’s eyes rolled, and she left with a smile.

Fang Zhou thought she had given up, but who would have known that the next day, the disciple playing Tang Xuanzang came over to tell him he didn’t want to act anymore.

Fang Zhou knew Ling Xiaoyue was shameless, but he didn’t expect her to be this shameless. He couldn’t imagine what kind of nonsense she fed this disciple to make him so determined not to act.

Ling Xiaoyue showed up again, grinning, and hooked her arm around Fang Zhou’s shoulders: "Short of people now? Want your master to help you?" freewebnoveℓ.com

Veins popped on Fang Zhou’s forehead, a strong urge to rub this woman’s face into the ground rising in him.

In the end, he suppressed his anger and agreed to let Ling Xiaoyue give it a try.

The role of Tang Xuanzang didn’t require any acting skills; he was just a pretty face who called out for Wukong when faced with danger.

Believe it or not, Ling Xiaoyue’s appearance was much better than the previous female disciple. With her looks, Tang Xuanzang could indeed make the King of the Male Kingdom besotted.

But Fang Zhou was still worried that once Ling Xiaoyue lost her novelty, she would drop out of the performance: "This is for the anniversary celebration performance. Won’t you be selling your small goods?"

Ling Xiaoyue was prepared: "No problem, I’ve already asked Little Lu to secure a good spot to sell my stuff."

Lu Qiuling had been secretly currying favor with Ling Xiaoyue lately, seemingly wanting to cling onto the legs of the master-apprentice duo, practically betraying them from within.

Fang Zhou had no choice but to agree to Ling Xiaoyue’s participation. If she bailed out, he’d have to take the role himself.

...

Preparations for the anniversary celebration and the merchant fair were proceeding smoothly.

The promotional work was beginning to pay off. Though the merchant fair was still some time away, many rogue cultivators and small sects had already come to Yunshan City, even people from other countries far away in the Central Plains.

The main building of the mall was already completed. Only road leveling and irrigation needed to be done, which should be finished before the fair starts.

Under Fang Zhou’s suggestion, Iron Sword Mountain decided to diversify its production beyond spirit swords, manufacturing more types of weapons to attract more customers at the fair.

If you can’t change the world, you must adapt to it. In the Cultivation World, only a fraction of people use swords. Given the outstanding quality of Iron Sword Mountain’s weapons, only making swords would simply waste most of the market.

Additionally, Fang Zhou asked Wu Tie the elder to use Mystic Iron Ore to forge a batch of moon coins to serve as currency for the merchant fair.

The rehearsals for both stage plays were progressing smoothly, and Fang Zhou was most worried about Xuan Ling and Ling Xiaoyue, who thankfully hadn’t caused any problems, being deeply engaged in their acting careers.

Fang Zhou had high hopes for Qiuqiu, who successfully choreographed a new dance. After reviewing it, he immediately appointed her as the head of the Heavenly Sword Sect dance and singing troupe, responsible for teaching other disciples.

With everything on track, Fang Zhou’s daily work finally wasn’t as busy, allowing him to take some time for his own affairs.

The Sage Time had finally cooled down, and this time Fang Zhou decided to learn the Sword Control Technique.

He had realized that his comprehension ability was very low. Except for Ling Xiaoyue’s Divine Skill, other techniques like Heaven and Earth Qiankun Technique, Sword Control Technique, Heart Sutra could not be learned by him alone, he needed to use the Sage Time to forcefully learn.

Thus, the once-a-month Sage Time needed to be allocated reasonably.

In the fight against the cult followers, Fang Zhou realized his attack methods were very limited. The skills drawn from the system were now almost useless; he could only learn the Sword Control Technique to enhance his power.

He was currently at an entry-level in Sword Control Technique. Improving his skill level could enhance the power. With the Divine Skill from Ling Xiaoyue, Heaven and Earth Qiankun Technique, and Heart Sutra didn’t need to be learned urgently.

Returning to Moon Viewing Peak, Fang Zhou specifically called Cheng Xing out.

Cheng Xing used Water Moon to copy manga every day, accumulating over time, and now she had a considerable stockpile.

Since discovering the cult followers’ attention on him, Fang Zhou had become very vigilant, not daring to relax even for a moment.

While using Sage Time, he would enter an Enlightenment State, completely losing perception of the outside world, which was very risky.

Therefore, Fang Zhou planned to physically enter the gourd space for cultivation, which was both safe and time-saving.

However, putting the gourd alone outside also posed a risk of being picked up by someone, so Fang Zhou handed the gourd to Cheng Xing for safekeeping and asked her to guard it.

After such a long time of interaction, Fang Zhou could now trust this bombshell monster girl ninety-nine percent.

...

After the little gourd folks moved out, the gourd space became lifeless, looking utterly desolate.

Even the sprawling garbage mountain was cleaned only halfway, and getting them to come back in for further sorting seemed an unlikely task.

Fang Zhou had come physically into the space multiple times, and it felt almost identical to visiting mentally, though staying long in the gourd was practically a waste of life.

He found a comfortable spot, lay down, and took out the full text of the Sword Control Technique from the sword box to read.

Not understanding wasn’t a problem; memorizing came first.

After flipping through it a dozen times and memorizing it, Fang Zhou began to unleash the Sage Time.

Entering an Enlightenment State, he instantly understood the previously unintelligible texts.

Fang Zhou slowly entered a state of enlightenment.

After an unknown period of time, Fang Zhou suddenly opened his eyes, his mind moved, and the Xuanyuan Sword shot out from the sword box.

After spinning twice in the air, the Xuanyuan Sword split into two identical swords, circling around Fang Zhou.

He frowned, and the two Xuanyuan Swords immediately transformed into four, forming a square-shaped sword array.

Fang Zhou’s face turned pale, with beads of sweat slightly emerging on his forehead.

He gritted his teeth and coldly snorted, and the four Xuanyuan Swords finally turned into eight, but after just a moment, they collapsed back into one.

Fang Zhou exhaled heavily, the ample spiritual energy within him had been completely exhausted.

This was a new trick Fang Zhou learned from the Sword Control Technique, called Kun Sword Style.

Kun, representing earth in "The Book of Changes," signifying endless variations, this Kun Sword Style could split the Xuanyuan Sword into two, two into four, four into eight, eight into sixteen, up to sixty-four divisions.

With his current Foundation Establishment Realm first-layer strength, he could split it into four, but couldn’t maintain it at eight.

Fang Zhou picked up the complete text of the Sword Control Technique in front of him, finally realizing how impressive the gift from Yan Chixia was.
