The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 249. Pay cash or write an IOU?

With that slap, Ling Xiaoyue nearly knocked Fang Zhou stupid.

Fortunately, he wasn’t in the Foundation Establishment phase at the moment, so the slap didn’t actually affect him.

As for absorbing Ling Xiaoyue’s spiritual energy, he couldn’t really be blamed. After establishing the Foundation, his spiritual energy was completely depleted due to this awkward Yin-Yang aura, and he felt incredibly empty inside.

Ling Xiaoyue’s spiritual energy poured in on its own, like meat delivered right to his mouth, and he instinctively took a bite.

Seeing Ling Xiaoyue react so fiercely, Fang Zhou quickly controlled himself, refraining from absorbing her spiritual energy.

Ling Xiaoyue guided the Yin-Yang spiritual energy inside Fang Zhou, making it circulate within him, gradually merging during the process.

After reaching Perfect Foundation Establishment, the spiritual energy extracted by Fang Zhou from the atmosphere would be imbued with a Yang attribute, while the spiritual energy from the Tree Demon Golden Core was of the Yin attribute.

As long as Fang Zhou didn’t mess around, these two would remain in harmony, waiting for him to slowly merge them.

However, Fang Zhou recklessly absorbed his innate Yang Qi, ended up attracting the Golden Core’s Yin attribute spiritual energy, merging them into one.

If not handled properly, these two completely opposite types of energy could clash, posing life-threatening dangers to Fang Zhou.

Ling Xiaoyue’s spiritual energy was as gentle as moonlight, gradually enveloping every corner inside Fang Zhou, keeping him unharmed.

This Yin-Yang spiritual energy, during the circulation process, gradually reached a subtle balance.

However, Ling Xiaoyue was getting anxious. Fang Zhou could only merge with the Golden Core’s Yin attribute spiritual energy due to the innate Yang Qi; once this Yang Qi was absorbed, the Yin attribute would slowly gain the upper hand, breaking the balance.

As Ling Xiaoyue was pondering a solution, Fang Zhou suddenly asked, "Why am I feeling so hot right now?"

He was feeling hot all over, as if the very blood in his body was beginning to boil.

Upon hearing Fang Zhou’s words, Ling Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "Stop chatting, hurry and absorb the spiritual energy... but not mine! Are you asking for a beating again? Refine it yourself!"

Fang Zhou instinctively began to absorb Ling Xiaoyue’s spiritual energy, only to be interrupted by her stern shout.

If it’s not allowed, it’s not allowed, why so fierce?

Fang Zhou could only take a deep breath of air, filling his lungs, starting to refine the spiritual energy.

The refined attributeless spiritual energy flowed through his body, quickly imbued with the scorching Yang attribute, joining the Yin-Yang spiritual energy flow.

Seeing this, Ling Xiaoyue smiled slightly.

Indeed, this kid’s innate Yang Qi is exceedingly strong, and the Yang attribute spiritual energy he refined far exceeds that of ordinary male cultivators, achieving perfect balance with the Golden Core’s Yin attribute spiritual energy.

From now on, Fang Zhou only needs to refine both the Yang attribute spiritual energy and the Yin attribute spiritual energy from the Golden Core simultaneously, and merge them together.

Under Ling Xiaoyue’s guidance and demonstration, Fang Zhou gradually learned how to do it himself, his body finally returned to normal, no longer fluctuating between cold and hot.

Ling Xiaoyue then slowly released her hand, retrieving her spiritual energy completely, leaving none for Fang Zhou.

It’s not that she’s petty; for things other than origin power, spiritual energy can be acquired in abundance, Ling Xiaoyue wouldn’t mind letting Fang Zhou absorb some.

But not now, after reaching Perfect Foundation Establishment, Fang Zhou’s spiritual energy will be imbued with Yang attribute, while Ling Xiaoyue’s spiritual energy is Yin attribute. Recklessly absorbing hers would disrupt the Yin-Yang balance within him.

Watching Fang Zhou meditating with closed eyes, Ling Xiaoyue couldn’t help but be a bit emotional.

In less than a year, Fang Zhou transformed from a complete novice into a Perfect Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

This speed was enough to make all the current geniuses of the Cultivation World seem like scraps, so it’s no wonder the Heavenly Sword Sect’s upper echelons treated Fang Zhou like a reincarnated master; even Ling Xiaoyue sometimes shared this thought.

Just thinking about how Fang Zhou might be some big shot reincarnated, yet ended up as her disciple, made Ling Xiaoyue want to laugh out loud with hands on hips.

It’s not that she thinks there’s anything special about being a big shot, but this experience of becoming a master to a big shot is fresh and exciting.

The more Ling Xiaoyue looked at Fang Zhou now, the more satisfied she became, wishing to carve "Disciple of Ling Xiaoyue" on his face or put him in a collar and leash and lead him around.

Suddenly feeling a chill while cultivating, Fang Zhou snapped his eyes open, finding Ling Xiaoyue looking at him with a smile but with a terrifying look in her eyes.

He exclaimed in terror, "What are you going to do?"

Ling Xiaoyue sat down beside Fang Zhou, draped an arm over his shoulder, and with a bright smile said, "Disciple, let’s discuss this; whenever you deal with people, remember to say ’Disciple of Ling Xiaoyue,’ alright?"

That’s it?

Fang Zhou thought for a moment, isn’t this just asking me to advertise for you?

He nodded, "Sure, a thousand taels per time, are you paying cash or writing an IOU?"

Ling Xiaoyue kicked him over, cursed under her breath, and walked away.

"Not willing to pay even a penny yet wants me to advertise, he tui!"

Fang Zhou spat at Ling Xiaoyue’s departing figure.

Then he looked at the nearby Cheng Xing, their eyes locking, Fang Zhou suddenly jumped over and hugged her.

"Haha, I’m finally free!"

With cheers, Fang Zhou and Cheng Xing entered the gourd together.

...

A peculiar group of visitors recently arrived in Yunshan City.

They wore embroidered silks and rode tall horses, clearly hailing from wealthy families.

Especially one of the girls, whose every move exuded a noble aura, making everyone around seem like her attendants and guards.

This group acted discreetly, silently renting several courtyards in Yunshan City and keeping to themselves daily.

"Your Highness, the items have been bought for you!"

The girl stood in the courtyard, overlooking the mist-covered mountains in the distance, suddenly turning at the sound from behind.

She turned, and her attendant respectfully handed her a book, the cover revealed it was a comic published by Moon Culture, Lao Shi Ji’s latest work, the newest issue of "Wave Tyrant."

The girl casually found a stone in the garden to sit on, elegantly yet rapidly flipping open the comic, intently reading.

Her expressions shifted with the comic’s content, sometimes tense, sometimes excited, and when reaching a thrilling part, she unconsciously clenched her fist and swung it, "Great, that scoundrel Ah Long needs a good beating."

Saying this, she smiled subtly to herself and mused, "With Lu Fei saving the entire Nan Mei village this time, it should win the heart of that habitual thief boy, huh, really looking forward to it."

The attendants and guards around her were as quiet as statues, not daring to interrupt the noblewoman’s comic reading.

Before long, a tall, sword-belted beautiful woman arrived hurriedly, seeing the girl reading the comic, she too stood quietly beside her.

After a long while, the girl finally finished the comic, noticed the beautiful woman beside her, and quickly said, "General Zhao, you’ve returned, has the Heavenly Sword Sect replied?"
