The two spoke softly, but everyone present had excellent hearing and could hear them clearly.
They all quietly perked up their ears.
An Zhengzheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "But I'm afraid you're too attached to fame and fortune..."
This was no lie. An Zhengzheng was very confident in herself. She was willing to work at the Hundred Women's Pavilion and then ascend to immortality without looking back.
She doesn't care about worldly fame and fortune; as long as all women in the world can have a better life, she'll consider it all worthwhile.
Senior Brother Yu Tiao said, "I don't care about making a lot of money, as long as I can meet my cultivation needs."
In this era, cultivating oneself to become an immortal is like pursuing a doctorate. You only get a pittance each month, do the work of an animal, and all you want is to graduate.
Even though I'm several hundred years old, I sometimes feel embarrassed to spend my family's money.
“That makes things easier.” An Zhengzheng said truthfully, “Senior brother can go to Ghost Ancient City, there’s a shop called Dongfeng Ferry.”
"...By the way, what sect do you also study, Senior Brother?"
"The Artifact Master".
"Senior brother must have noticed that because of the shortage of raw materials in various families, the prices of the pills they sell have all increased, right?"
Otherwise, the major merchants wouldn't have wanted to take action against Bai Nu Ge.
"Senior brother can go to Dongfeng Ferry to buy pills. Although they are not half price like at Bai Nu Ge, they are still 30% cheaper than outside."
Because female cultivators participate in production, the Hundred Women's Pavilion has a surplus of pills.
They all started their attacks from Dongfengdu.
"It's 30% cheaper?"
Yu Tiao was very surprised. You see, people at the Golden Core stage like them need a lot of things. If the price is 30% cheaper, that would be a good thing.
The other senior brothers appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, they all silently memorized the location.
An Zhengzheng also told them, "The things that the senior brothers make can be stored at Dongfeng Ferry, and Dongfeng Ferry will collect them."
"Okay, I'll remember that. Thank you, junior sister."
Yu Tiao sincerely expressed her gratitude to An Zhengzheng.
"You're too kind, senior brother."
Along the way, they overcame numerous obstacles, but An Zhengzheng, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage, fell at the tenth level.
She was knocked down by a bull demon and tumbled down the hillside, her prepared medicine almost used up. She couldn't go any further.
They all cultivate the path of ruthlessness, and no one is willing to waste time on anyone else.
"We'll be going now. Good luck next year, junior sister." Senior Brother Peijin led the other senior brothers away.
"Hiss... As expected of a disciple who cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness, he never looks back when it's time to leave."
An Zhengzheng watched their resolute departing figures as she cleaned the wounds on her body.
However, she didn't really give up. After all, the word "give up" has never been part of her life. She just sat down and rested for a while longer.
We'll move forward once we've regained our energy.
However, she had only rested for a short while when a dream-eating beast appeared in front of her again, its eyes narrowed.
The human and the beast exchanged a glance, and An Zhengzheng was immediately drawn into the illusion.
This was clearly aimed at her; it must be one of the tests for her.
Her memory became increasingly hazy.
...
"Young lady, people from outside have come to our door! The major families have joined forces to force our Hundred Women's Pavilion to close down!"
A familiar voice rang out, and An Zhengzheng slowly opened her eyes, feeling a faint pain in her head.
Madam Pei rushed in and told her, "The people from the Siyue Sect just came over. They said you are a sinner who has disrupted the cultivation world, and they have expelled you from the sect..."
"How is that possible?"
An Zhengzheng frowned slightly and stood up abruptly.
She has cultivated immortality for over seven hundred years and is now at the Golden Core stage. She can activate her X-ray vision simply by closing her eyes slightly.
Through the low wall, she saw countless cultivators attacking her at the entrance of the Hundred Women's Pavilion.
"Just because I encouraged female cultivators to produce children, giving them the opportunity to support themselves and empowering them?"
An Zhengzheng felt a splitting headache, as if something was covering up or fabricating something in her mind.
"Miss, why don't you go outside and take a look? Even Miss Qinghuan is at the door..."
An Zhengzheng went from the backyard to the front shop.
The shop was covered with rotten vegetable leaves and eggs, and many people were indignant, raising their fists and cursing her outside.
"An Zhengzheng, the number one demoness in the cultivation world! She stirs up chaos and wreaks havoc on the world!"
When An Zhengzheng walked out, the crowd fell silent for a moment.
She asked calmly, "...Disrupting the balance of Yin and Yang, causing chaos in the world? Are you sure you're talking about me?"
"Of course it's you!" Zhou Rongsheng said coldly, looking righteous and awe-inspiring. "Heaven is Yang, earth is Yin, man is Yang, woman is Yin... Men should go out and achieve success, while women should stay at home to support their husbands and raise their children. This is the harmony of Yin and Yang."
"An Zhengzheng, yet you've started a women's business, favoring the yin over the yang, and you're unworthy of being a cultivator!"
An Zhengzheng remained silent.
After a while, she laughed and said, "That's it? Don't you have any other excuses?"
Ultimately, it's about preventing women from working and keeping them confined to the home, isn't it?
Soon, another person stepped forward—Zhao Liuhu Jiu. They trembled as they said, "We...we can prove that An Zhengzheng colluded with people from the Demon Realm!"
The two of them told each other in public about how An Zhengzheng had brought An Qinghuan to their house to teach them a lesson.
Finally, Zhao Liu added, "The female cultivator who came with us back then, after investigation, was found to be a member of the demonic path! From that time on, An Zhengzheng has been colluding with the demonic path!"
The crowd was in an uproar.
The An family members stood up, supporting each other. Old Madam An coughed twice and was held tightly by An Mao and An Ping.
She pointed at An Zhengzheng's nose and cursed, "This rebellious daughter of the An family! Hundreds of years ago, she came to the family with the Demon-Shedding Lotus to sever ties. What is the Demon-Shedding Lotus? It can only be found near the Demon Palace!"
"My An family has now turned against even our own relatives to testify that An Zhengzheng is a witch!"
It's not that the cultivation world can't trade with the demon realm, but it's rare, and even when it does, it's usually done openly through contracts. Moreover, given the past conflict between humans and demons, they have to be even more careful.
Otherwise, An Zhengzheng wouldn't have let that female demon disguise herself as a Taoist priest. Later, when An Qinghuan asked about it, she could only cover it up by saying that she knew some cultivators in the martial arts world.
All the insults came flooding in like a tidal wave.
But this is not yet despair.
“An Zhengzheng, I have come here on my master’s orders to tell you that you have been expelled from the mountain and are no longer allowed to cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness.”
Senior Brother Pei Jin stepped out from the crowd and told her calmly, "At the same time, the Siyue Sect has also issued an expulsion order. You will no longer be a disciple of the Siyue Sect."
An Zhengzheng frowned and asked, "Why?"
“Junior Sister… Miss An knows what’s going on,” Senior Brother Pei Jin said. “Now that you’ve committed a grave crime that has angered the cultivation world, don’t you understand why the Si Yue Sect refuses to accept you?”
At this moment, all eyes were focused on An Zhengzheng.
The male cultivators had not been able to enjoy the benefits of the Hundred Women's Pavilion, and the establishment of the Hundred Women's Pavilion had prevented them from enjoying the power of their fathers, which had long made them extremely resentful.
