The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 189. You’d better find someone more capable.

Fang Zhou released all seven calabash brothers for the first time. He wasn’t worried about them running off, surrounded as they were by Heavenly Sword Sect territory. Running out would be seeking death, especially with Ling Xiaoyue around.

Previously, Fang Zhou let the calabash brothers out one by one, so they were not unfamiliar with the outside environment and were happy to come out together.

But as soon as they saw Ling Xiaoyue, they immediately turned into seven quails, frightened.

If the Tree Demon were still around, they might have dared to snarl at Ling Xiaoyue. Now, facing Ling Xiaoyue alone, they cowered together.

This behavior was a bit like a dog relying on someone’s power, or should it be called "calabash brothers relying on grandpa’s power"?

Fang Zhou found it quite annoying. He had to swear oaths and write contracts to barely subdue the calabash brothers, while Ling Xiaoyue just stood there and they obeyed her.

Is this what it means to be a big shot? Admirable, admirable.

Following Fang Zhou’s instructions, the calabash brothers obediently started sorting the pile of items Ling Xiaoyue brought back, looking for magic treasures that could facilitate mass production of comics.

Fang Zhou, with nothing else to do, started studying the Foundation Establishment Technique taught by Ling Xiaoyue, striving to achieve Foundation Establishment soon.

The only guiding principle for the Foundation Establishment Technique was to enhance control over spiritual energy. The subsequent Foundation Establishment of bones, muscles, and internal organs required extremely high control, a slight mistake would result in failure.

Increasing control over spiritual energy also directly enhanced a cultivator’s combat power.

Besides teaching Fang Zhou the cultivation method, Ling Xiaoyue only taught Qi Gathering Technique and simple swordsmanship, rarely any other spells.

Fang Zhou wasn’t in a hurry; Sword Control Technique was sufficient, and other skills could be drawn from the system.

However, life had been too peaceful lately, and the system hadn’t triggered any tasks for him.

Since returning, Ling Xiaoyue had been leisurely, lying on trees reading the newspaper daily, watching the house construction progress daily.

She had nothing to do but wait for the Heavenly Sword Sect trade fair to start and make a big profit.

Several days passed when Yu Qing came to Moon Viewing Peak again, but not for a stroll; she had something to ask Fang Zhou.

She greeted Ling Xiaoyue first before approaching Fang Zhou, "Fang Zhou, Master wants to see you. She has something to discuss."

After Fang Zhou gave Yu Qing his name a few days ago, she was excited for a while, even struggled on how to address him.

She wanted to call him Little Zhou, or Zhou-er, but Fang Zhou sternly refused, saying they would fall out if she dared to call him that.

Yu Qing had to call him by his full name in private and call him Taoist Fang in public.

In fact, Yu Qing preferred another nickname for Fang Zhou but feared falling out, so she kept it to herself.

She secretly called him that nickname alone in bed at night.

"What does your Master want this time?"

Fang Zhou asked irritably, feeling he had become Master Yu Jian’s go-to person for every problem.

"Do you have any brains for yourself?"

He never got paid for those consultations.

Yu Qing, a bit embarrassed, shook her head, "I don’t know... hmm?"

She suddenly paused and sniffed, "Why does it smell like a demonic aura?"

Fang Zhou was startled, could Yu Qing smell the calabash brothers hiding far away? Her nose might be enlightened.

"It’s nothing; I raised some little demons as workers."

He quickly grabbed Yu Qing’s hand, "Don’t keep your Master waiting, let’s go."

As soon as Yu Qing’s hand was grabbed by Fang Zhou, her cheeks turned red, her thoughts slowed, and she didn’t have time to ponder over the matter and was led away from Moon Viewing Peak.

They arrived at Yujian Peak, where many people were, so Fang Zhou let go, leaving Yu Qing feeling a bit lost.

They proceeded to Sword Lake, where Fang Zhou met True Master Yu Jian again.

This time, he wasn’t as polite, "What do you need from me this time?"

True Master Yu Jian opened her eyes slowly, looked at Fang Zhou kindly, not at all bothered by his lack of manners.

Fang Zhou was increasingly likely to be the reincarnation of a great power and might have awakened his past life memories.

True Master Yu Jian had given up on taking Fang Zhou as her disciple and was keen on maintaining a good relationship instead.

When Fang Zhou soared someday, Heavenly Sword Sect could also benefit.

"I have some small matters to discuss with you today."

True Master Yu Jian waved her hand lightly, making many spirit swords in Sword Lake fly out and form a chair behind Fang Zhou.

Wow, there’s even a seat.

Fang Zhou didn’t hesitate, sitting down immediately. The comfort was okay, just a bit chilly on the buttocks.

True Master Yu Jian got straight to the point, explaining to Fang Zhou the situation.

Since the statue collapsed, the anniversary celebration wasn’t canceled but postponed.

A few days ago, Qin Yunzhu got excited again and wanted to combine the celebration with the upcoming trade fair in a few months.

Heavenly Sword Sect’s higher-ups had no objections this time, thinking the Heavenly Sword Daily could publicize the celebration and trade fair, showcasing the sect’s strength and wealth to the cultivation world.

But there were disagreements on how to handle it.

Some felt it should be done like previous years, while others disagreed, saying previous celebrations and trade fairs were lukewarm and failed to attract much attention, obviously poorly handled.

The argument ended with Qin Yunzhu deciding that the clever guy from Moon Viewing Peak should come up with an idea.

The other higher-ups agreed and pushed the matter to True Master Yu Jian to persuade Fang Zhou.

After all, True Master Yu Jian knew Fang Zhou the earliest, and her favorite disciple often paired up with Fang Zhou, so it’d be believable.

True Master Yu Jian had no objections, thus summoning Fang Zhou.

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhou thought, as expected, they gave him more trouble.

He wasn’t a member of the Heavenly Sword Sect, didn’t work for them, nor owed them money. They were exploiting a kid in his developmental stage; didn’t they feel guilty?

If this continued, he’d have no time for cultivation, only for giving ideas.

Fang Zhou politely declined immediately, "True Master, I understand your dilemma and sincerely wish to help since we’re loving neighbors. But you also need to understand my difficulties. I’ve been playing too much these past two months, failing to complete my Master’s assignments. She was very angry when she returned a few days ago, threatening to confine me for a year or two. You know how strict she is; she’s greedy but keeps her word. When she says confinement, it’s confinement without negotiation except for money."

Fang Zhou spread his hands, "I’m not being modest, but even as a tiny Qi Refinement cultivator—no, now a Foundation Establishment cultivator, even without me, Heavenly Sword Sect will be fine. You’d better find someone more skilled."

True Master Yu Jian listened to Fang Zhou’s complaints with a smile, knowing he repeatedly mentioned money for a reason.

Helping last time was free, but now, no benefits, no talk. Even if he agreed, his greedy master wouldn’t.
