The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 190. You might make a huge profit, but I will never lose.
Chapter 190: 190. You might make a huge profit, but I will never lose.
True Master Yu Jian did not immediately respond to Fang Zhou’s complaint but instead said, "Little Friend Fang, have you heard of the sword pill?"
Fang Zhou shook his head; he had never heard of the sword pill, though he often talked about medicinal pills.
True Master Yu Jian then explained that the First Generation Sword Spirit of the Heavenly Sword Sect is still alive today. She is an alchemy expert who has been hiding in the forbidden area to perform alchemy.
Every fifty years, the First Generation Sword Spirit can produce a sword pill, a very miraculous elixir that enhances the talent and comprehension of sword control while significantly boosting cultivation, effective for those in and below the Innate Realm.
Especially when one is at Perfect Foundation Establishment, taking the sword pill can greatly increase the chances of advancing to the Innate Realm.
Given its remarkable effects and long production cycle, the value of the sword pill is evident. The Heavenly Sword Sect typically reserves it for a highly talented disciple or trade it with other sects for benefits.
After explaining what the sword pill is, True Master Yu Jian suddenly said to Fang Zhou, "If Little Friend Fang is willing to take on this matter, our sect would like to gift you a sword pill."
Fang Zhou’s heart immediately pounded wildly. From True Master Yu Jian’s description, this sword pill is definitely on the same level as Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and spiritual elixirs. Are they really going to give it to him?
Seeing that Fang Zhou could still hold together, True Master Yu Jian continued lightly, "If the anniversary celebration and trade fair are successfully held, Little Friend Fang will also receive ten percent of the profits."
Another heavy chip; Fang Zhou was nearly overwhelmed. The Heavenly Sword Sect is incredibly wealthy; ten percent of the profits is enough to make him wealthy overnight.
The sword pill and ten percent of the profits - such tremendous temptation would make Ling Xiaoyue immediately agree. Fang Zhou, however, woke up.
There is no free lunch in the world; the Heavenly Sword Sect is not foolishly rich. How could they easily give Fang Zhou such enormous benefits?
He asked skeptically, "What exactly do you want me to do? It can’t just be asking for my opinion, right?"
True Master Yu Jian smiled, "Indeed, our sect hopes that Little Friend Fang will take full charge of the celebration and trade fair. The number of participants and the profits obtained must be far higher than before. It doesn’t matter if the target is not met; the sword pill will still be gifted to you."
Fang Zhou understood that the Heavenly Sword Sect not only hoped for his opinion but wanted him to take personal responsibility for the matter.
The number of participants and the final profits had strict requirements; if not met, the ten percent profit was off. Whether successful or not, the sword pill would serve as his hard-earned reward.
"I accept."
Fang Zhou agreed without hesitation. Although he didn’t know what the Heavenly Sword Sect’s true intentions were, the benefits were real; he would take it first.
Trying to make him spit it out would not be easy.
True Master Yu Jian chuckled, "No need to ask your mentor?"
Fang Zhou replied solemnly, "Helping neighbors is a traditional virtue. Your difficulties are our difficulties. Cultivation is a minor matter; I believe my mentor will understand my choice."
With such significant benefits, Ling Xiaoyue would have to be crazy not to agree.
If she doesn’t agree, Fang Zhou would immediately sever their mentor-student relationship and become a free man.
Being cautious, Fang Zhou still made a verbal confidentiality agreement with True Master Yu Jian. The matter of ten percent profit would only be known to them and should not be disclosed to anyone, especially Ling Xiaoyue.
Yes, Fang Zhou planned to keep the ten percent profit for himself; it was his hard-earned reward. Why should he share the cake with Ling Xiaoyue? She should stay far away.
Before leaving, Fang Zhou suddenly displayed an embarrassed expression, "Master, can you give me some more lake water?"
True Master Yu Jian’s smile immediately stiffened. After a few seconds of silence, she answered awkwardly, "Sure."
Fang Zhou cheerfully took out the gourd and started absorbing water.
True Master Yu Jian closed her eyes in pain, not wanting to watch.
The sound of water being absorbed made her feel her previously calm mind was also being sucked away, making it hard to breathe.
Fortunately, this time True Master Yu Jian did not boast saying he could take as much as he wanted, so Fang Zhou took just a bit more than last time.
"Alright, Master, goodbye. I’ll come up with a plan and show it to you soon."
Fang Zhou left with a bright smile, and True Master Yu Jian barely managed a forced smile.
After Fang Zhou left, True Master Yu Jian saw the Sword Lake’s water level had obviously lowered again, and her heart was bleeding. She decided never to meet at this place again; otherwise, the Sword Lake would sooner or later be emptied.
At the same time, True Master Yu Jian recalled the Cultivation World, wondering which senior used to love taking advantage - it seemed like quite a few.
Thus, True Master Yu Jian could only comfort herself, hoping that this gesture of goodwill would have an effect.
Whether it was the sword pill or ten percent profit, it wasn’t really necessary to give Fang Zhou such big benefits. The main reason was that the Heavenly Sword Sect wanted to build a good relationship with him, seeing it as an emotional investment.
If Fang Zhou really was a reincarnation of some big shot, and soared to greatness, the Heavenly Sword Sect could also benefit.
If not, given Fang Zhou’s displayed genius, his future achievements were boundless, and the sect could gain a staunch ally.
Perhaps Fang Zhou would profit greatly, but the Heavenly Sword Sect would not be at a loss.
Unless Fang Zhou took the benefits and suddenly died.
...
Fang Zhou left Yujian Peak full of enthusiasm.
He noticed True Master Yu Jian’s attitude towards him had clearly changed compared to before.
During their previous meetings, True Master Yu Jian treated him with a kind elder’s attitude towards a junior, but today, she placed him on a more equal footing, with the term "Little Friend Fang" sounding genuinely respectful. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Fang Zhou guessed that this change might be related to the prophetic event he caused at Yuncang Palace recently.
Who knows what these big shots thought of, imagining him as some reincarnated big shot.
From True Master Yu Jian’s reaction, it seemed highly likely.
If that were the case, Fang Zhou would definitely laugh out loud.
Although this was an unexpected joy, he couldn’t really use it to plan any profits; otherwise, he’d easily be seen through.
It’s best to go with the flow; the less he cares, the more others might imagine. Once he deliberately seeks it, flaws will appear.
Fang Zhou first returned to Moon Viewing Peak to mention this to Ling Xiaoyue.
Upon hearing that the Heavenly Sword Sect was giving Fang Zhou a sword pill, Ling Xiaoyue was almost split with jealousy.
She couldn’t use the sword pill herself, but it could be sold for a great price, even at the lowest price, making her rich overnight.
Ling Xiaoyue barely moved, and Fang Zhou knew she was about to argue, decisively saying, "Don’t even think about it!"
Ling Xiaoyue angrily replied, "I haven’t even said anything yet!"
Fang Zhou repeated, "Don’t even think about it!"
Seeing that path blocked, Ling Xiaoyue cursed the Heavenly Sword Sect for sowing discord, only giving benefits to the disciple and deliberately ignoring her as the mentor.
Fang Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just one sword pill made Ling Xiaoyue curse; adding the ten percent profit, he suspected she could even resort to murder and arson.
