Chapter 126 Yicheng Trial 7 Xie Jiaoyue relied on her own weakness to gain...
Xie Jiaoyue, relying on the principle of "I am weak, therefore I am right," and thinking that "you can't do anything to me directly on Director Wan's territory anyway," spent her first day cultivating happily in the Leap Dragon Field, without being disturbed by anyone until dark.
When the moon was high in the sky, Xie Jiaoyue felt a slight chill and woke up from her immersion in cultivation. She stretched, lazily stood up, dusted herself off, and prepared to head towards her residence marked on the map.
She looked around, thinking there was no one around, but unexpectedly she saw a woman.
The woman looked to be about the same age as her, and her demeanor was somewhat similar... a businesswoman's air, similar to that of Director Inagichi.
However, Xie Jiaoyue's temperament is more like that of a boss who starts from scratch with his brothers, believes in exchanging sincerity for sincerity, and hopes to find the most suitable position for everyone who follows her so as to give full play to their value.
This woman is more like a freelance businesswoman who buys and sells goods, operating her own team and trusting no one.
The woman pointed to herself with her index finger: "Yang Yang, a cultivator from Daoqian City, specializing in artifact crafting."
Xie Jiaoyue was about to introduce herself at the same level when Yang Yang interrupted her.
Yang Yang smiled and said, "I naturally know the famous number one of the Azure Kite Secret Realm." She pulled out a magical artifact from somewhere, "Could you write your name on this artifact for the magic technique I taught you?"
Xie Jiaoyue was stunned. Wow, she actually had fans, and they were even beautiful female cultivators.
"But this incantation of yours is a binding incantation? You won't be able to use this magic weapon anymore."
Yang Yang said that he did not need to use this magic weapon: "When you become a Golden Core cultivator or even a Nascent Soul cultivator in the future, I will take this magic weapon and sell it for money. I will say that it was a magic weapon used by Xie Jiaoyue when she was young. It will definitely fetch a high price then."
Okay, Xie Jiaoyue doesn't have her own original fans; she only has a proxy photographer who's betting on her.
"Give it to me, I'll sign it, I'll sign a lot, and you'll get 50% of the profits."
Yang Yang was stunned. They were asking for 50% right off the bat. Which of the two of them was the real profiteer?
While "signing" the first magic item, Xie Jiaoyue said, "If you agree, we'll sign five today; if you don't agree, we'll only sign this one."
Yang Yang considered it in his mind for a moment, then quickly took out a complete set of small magical artifacts: headdress, earrings, rings, bracelets, and anklets. The colors of the complete set of ornaments and magical artifacts were harmonious, and they did indeed seem to be things that the same person would use.
"make a deal."
After Xie Jiaoyue stamped her mark on all five magical artifacts, Yang Yang kindly offered to lead the way for her: "Since you're new here today, I'll take you to your lodgings."
Xie Jiaoyue was very wary: "You're not going to ask for a travel fee, are you?"
Yang Yang pointed to a small alley on the left and said in a friendly tone, "How could that be? I just wanted to chat with you and see how a cultivator from a small family, who only has the body of a furnace cauldron, managed to rise against all odds and become the number one in the Qingyuan Secret Realm."
"When you become famous in the future, I might be able to make a fortune from publishing books. Don't worry, I can swear to heaven and earth right now that I will give you 50% of the profits."
Xie Jiaoyue disagreed: "This is my autobiography, I want 60% of it."
"Alright, alright, whatever you say."
The training ground wasn't very large. Xie Jiaoyue focused on the key points of her past, and after recounting how she transformed herself from a lonely and introverted girl into someone who wanted to harm her, the two of them arrived at their destination.
Yang Yang found the story very exciting and was still eager for more: "So, even though you killed your cousin, you still fell in love with Chu Paotang because of a marriage contract?"
Xie Jiaoyue pouted: "How can you say it's because of a marriage contract? Brother Xingjin has sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and he is a handsome and upright man. It's only natural that I fell in love with him at first sight."
"Don't you want to consider finding someone else you like? I think even I'm better than him. I may not be very talented, but at least I can make money."
Xie Jiaoyue shook her head firmly, indicating that her love for Chu Xingjin would never end unless the mountains crumbled.
She hadn't yet fully seized Chu Xingjin's opportunities, nor had she used him to become the true richest man, so naturally she was head over heels in love.
Yang Yang cautiously took a step back, afraid of being infected with the love-struck virus. She pointed to the small house in front of her: "This is it. Everyone's accommodation was assigned in advance. Now there is only this one left, so it must belong to you."
Xie Jiaoyue looked up and examined the small house in front of her. The house looked to be about fifty square meters from the outside, and the decoration looked very simple. From the outside, there were two rooms, one of which was a living room and the other was a bedroom.
The surrounding houses were all lit up, except for this one and the one two rooms away, which were dark.
The other one clearly belongs to Yangyang.
Xie Jiaoyue glanced at Yang Yang's residence and felt that the two houses had different atmospheres.
It seems that Yang Yang's room has a protective shield outside, but it's not very effective and mainly serves to keep out mosquitoes and other insects. Anyone visiting without the owner's permission could easily break through it.
The protective shield around Xie Jiaoyue has been breached.
Xie Jiaoyue grabbed Yang Yang's arm and handed it through the door. Sure enough, a basin of water fell from the sky and splashed down, soaking Yang Yang's robes.
A crackling sound came from Yang Yang's robes.
"My robes! They're very expensive! You have to pay me back! Double the price!" Yang Yang yelled.
Xie Jiaoyue looked at the corrosive liquid on the ground, tore off a small strip of the ruined cloth from Yang Yang's arm, and tried it out.
"Don't yell, I'll pay double for this outfit, let me try it on."
As soon as the strip of cloth touched the liquid on the ground, it started to bubble and made a sizzling sound.
It is corrosive but not fatal; it's simply disgusting.
She could already imagine that her room was probably filled with these kinds of little mechanisms.
Yang Yang had completely torn off one sleeve, revealing his white undergarment, and squatted down on the ground with Xie Jiaoyue: "You've really offended Gong Shiyu quite badly."
"How can you be so sure it was made by Gong Shiyu?"
“That’s easy to guess. Yicheng is not like your Jinling City. In Yicheng, the Gongshi family is the only powerful family that acts like a tyrant. Other families have to rely on the Gongshi family. Cultivators from these families will definitely be cautious in their actions. How could they possibly do such a thing in the territory of the Director of the Heaven and Earth Department?”
"Only the Gongshi clan has a slight chance."
Yang Yang found it strange. Although the Gongshi family was large and powerful, they generally wouldn't have a direct conflict with the Heaven and Earth Bureau. Logically speaking, they shouldn't have done such a thing.
She comforted Xie Jiaoyue: "Don't worry, even if it's Gong Shiyu, he'll probably just play some pranks to vent his anger. He won't really do anything to you. We're here to cultivate, not to fight. After that, just avoid him. When we get to the Eastern Region and the All-Region Competition, you can teach him a lesson!"
Xie Jiaoyue stared at the dark, gloomy house: "Do you think he really won't do anything to me?"
Yang Yang nodded.
Surely Gongshi Yu couldn't just kill someone directly? Isn't the Gongshi clan afraid of Qingyuan Swordsman and Baili Sizhang's retaliation later?
Xie Jiaoyue didn't think so. She didn't plan to rest here, otherwise she didn't know how many troubles might arise.
She plans to return to Yuelongchang.
Yuelongchang is an open area with frequent traffic. As long as Gong Shiyu doesn't want to make things public, he certainly won't do anything to her in Yuelongchang.
Seeing Xie Jiaoyue about to leave, Yang Yang quickly stopped her: "Yang Yang's secret tent, with an area of over ten square meters, is made of meteorite iron and will not collapse in strong winds or leak in the rain. It only costs two high-grade spirit stones. The price is reasonable and fair to all."
Xie Jiaoyue rolled her eyes: "This thing is worth at most half a high-grade spirit stone outside."
"If you're so capable, go out and buy it yourself."
After Xie Jiaoyue left, Yang Yang watched her departing figure and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Can a furnace really achieve this? If Xie Jiaoyue can, then can I...?"
In the latter half of the night, when the night was at its coolest, Gong Shiyu opened his eyes and climbed off the woman's stomach.
He stealthily changed into a set of night clothes under the cover of darkness, slipped out of the door silently, and strolled toward Xie Jiaoyue's residence.
To avoid being seen by some night owls, Gongshi Yu deliberately did not walk on the pebbly path on the ground, but instead rose into the air and walked on the roof tiles.
Finally, he stopped directly above Xie Jiaoyue's house.
He lifted a tile, opened his eyes, and peered inside, intending to enjoy Xie Jiaoyue's disheveled appearance.
No, where are they?
Gong Shiyu couldn't resist lifting a few more tiles and sticking his whole head inside. He lost his balance and fell right in.
With a whoosh, tiny blades flew around the room, an unknown liquid attacked from all directions, disgusting reptiles were awakened and crawled toward people, and almost invisible smoke filled the air. Just one breath could seal away 80% of a person's spiritual power.
Gong Shiyu covered his mouth, afraid that he would make a sound.
Thank you, Jiaoyue!
He and Xie Jiaoyue are sworn enemies!
He took out the Spirit Mirror and sent a vicious message: "If you dare to put Xie Jiaoyue into the tower tomorrow, I will send you to my brother! You'd better watch yourself."
Xie Jiaoyue finally negotiated a price of one high-grade spirit stone and bought the tent. After spending the whole night in Yuelongchang, she woke up refreshed with the rising sun the next morning.
She plans to visit the tower today.
The tower was right next to the Leap Dragon Field. After Xie Jiaoyue finished packing up the tent, she cast a cleansing spell on herself and walked to the foot of the tower in less than 15 minutes.
She looked up, tilting her head back until her neck ached, before she could see the top of the tower.
It was as tall as a skyscraper from a past life, but a slender version, making you feel that a strong wind could blow it down.
Xie Jiaoyue rubbed her neck and walked towards the entrance of the tower, but was stopped by a female cultivator before she got there.
"Please, please don't go in today, okay?"
