Chapter 11: The Su Sisters

Pei Zhen exchanged a few more polite words with Liu Danian, then patted Xu Zhengyang on the shoulder and said, “Ah Zheng. Your residence is too large to be left unattended. And behind the Twilight Shadow Pavilion, there are two acres and three tenths of spiritual farmland. Although they don’t yield many spirit stones, Leaving them empty is a waste. Just right. These are all outer sect disciples who know how to manage spiritual fields. Not only can they handle household chores for you, but they can also help you put those fields to use. Among these people, If you take a liking to anyone, just let me know.”

As soon as Pei Zhen finished speaking,

The group of female disciples acted like peacocks spreading their tails, doing everything they could to display themselves to Xu Zhengyang.

But Xu Zhengyang didn’t even glance at them.

He cupped his hands toward Pei Zhen and said, “This disciple has shallow insight and cannot judge well. I will leave this matter entirely to Master’s decision.”

“That works too.”

Pei Zhen was slightly surprised by this reply, but he became even more satisfied with Xu Zhengyang.

Then Pei Zhen swept his divine sense across the group of outer sect disciples and pointed to the two girls standing on the far right, both wearing light yellow gauze dresses.

Their appearances and figures were very similar. He asked, “What are your names? Are you willing to serve my disciple here?”

Among the two girls,

The slightly more mature-looking one was overjoyed upon hearing this.

She quickly pulled her younger sister out from the crowd and, blushing, said to Pei Zhen, “Reporting to Elder Pei, this disciple is Su Xiaofang, and this is my younger sister, Su Xiaotao. We are willing to… Willing to serve Senior Brother Xu.”

“Very well.”

Pei Zhen nodded and said, “From now on, you two are inner sect disciples.”

Su Xiaofang was overjoyed upon hearing this.

She immediately pulled Su Xiaotao along to perform a formal bow to Pei Zhen, and they both said in unison, “Thank you, Elder Pei!”

At this moment,

Liu Danian, seeing that Pei Zhen had made his choice, stepped forward and said to Su Xiaofang and Su Xiaotao, “Divine Mechanism Peak is far superior to the outer sect. The spiritual energy here is several times denser, greatly beneficial to cultivation. For you to stay here is a rare opportunity. Precisely because of this, you must cherish this hard-earned fortune and manage this Twilight Shadow Pavilion well, without any slacking in daily duties. Understand?”

“We understand.”

Su Xiaofang and Su Xiaotao replied in unison.

“Good.”

Liu Danian nodded, then waved his hand, lifting himself and the remaining female cultivators on a cloud.

At this point,

Liu Danian took his leave from Pei Zhen and said, “Senior Brother Pei, affairs in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall are numerous. I’ll head back now.”

“Take care, Junior Brother Liu,” Pei Zhen replied.

...

After sending Liu Danian off,

Under the envious gaze of Su Xiaofang and Su Xiaotao, Pei Zhen handed Xu Zhengyang a gourd filled with Yellow Dragon Pills.

He also gave instructions to Xu Zhengyang, saying, “Half a year from now, Will be the opening of the once-in-a-decade Sunset Cloud Blessed Land. If you can reach the Qi Refining Fourth Level and also attain the Innate Realm in body cultivation within half a year, I will grant you a spot. You can go and temper yourself in the Sunset Cloud Blessed Land!”

Though Xu Zhengyang didn’t know what the Sunset Cloud Blessed Land was, he knew that anything Pei Zhen specifically mentioned had to be extraordinary.

Thus, Xu Zhengyang solemnly promised Pei Zhen, “This disciple will train diligently and not let Master down!”

“Good.”

Pei Zhen nodded, then took out a specially-made talisman and handed it to Xu Zhengyang, saying, “This is a communication talisman. I’ve left my mark on it. If you ever face something you can’t handle, just crush the talisman to contact me.”

“Yes, Master.”

Xu Zhengyang responded as he received the talisman with both hands.

“In that case, take these two girls back and get them settled.”

With those words,

Pei Zhen returned to the flying vessel and turned into a streak of light, flying away from the Twilight Shadow Pavilion.

“Farewell, Master.”

“Farewell, Elder Pei.”

Xu Zhengyang and the Su sisters said in unison.

*

After Pei Zhen left,

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward.

At that moment,

Su Xiaofang broke the silence first and shyly asked Xu Zhengyang, “Senior Brother Xu, where shall we… Where shall we stay?”

“You two can stay in the guest courtyard.”

Xu Zhengyang waved his hand, using the Restriction Jade Token to open the Twilight Shadow Pavilion’s restrictions.

He briefly introduced the structure of the pavilion to the Su sisters, then escorted them to the guest courtyard.

Finally, he instructed, “On regular days, As long as you keep the courtyard clean, you can move around freely. You may handle the spiritual fields in the backyard as you wish, but no matter what you plant, turn in twenty percent of the harvest as rent.”

Xu Zhengyang didn’t really care about that twenty percent rent.

It was just that a small favor repaid too generously breeds resentment.

He used this rent to remind the Su sisters to stay mindful of their roles.

The Su sisters exchanged a look, their eyes full of joy, and replied in unison, “Yes, Senior Brother Xu.”

“Good.”

Xu Zhengyang nodded, then said, “As for the inner courtyard and the meditation room, you may not approach without my permission. If you trespass and are injured by the pavilion’s restrictions, don’t say you weren’t warned.”

“Understood!”

The Su sisters nodded repeatedly, and Su Xiaofang even made a point to assure him, “My sister and I will definitely abide by the rules and won’t enter restricted areas.”

“Good.”

Xu Zhengyang nodded again, gave them a few more instructions, then waved them off to settle in.

As for Xu Zhengyang himself,

He first swallowed a Yellow Dragon Pill like it was candy, then returned to the meditation room to study the newly acquired Divine Mechanism Art.

Unlike the Qi Refining Art,

The Divine Mechanism Art refined the body by circulating qi and blood to strengthen the flesh.

Thus achieving brute strength that overcame all technique, a single force breaking ten skills!

“Thankfully.”

After reading through the entire Divine Mechanism Art, Xu Zhengyang breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Circulating qi and blood is also a cyclic action. Moreover, the circulation pattern of qi and blood is independent of the Qi Refining Art, and the two techniques don’t interfere with each other. That being the case… I can completely use the Cultivation Method Manager to run both techniques in parallel!”

As he spoke,

Xu Zhengyang had already input the qi and blood circulation pattern of the Divine Mechanism Art into the Cultivation Method Manager.

“It's just a pity that the Divine Mechanism Art is also a technique that requires slow and steady work. Without corresponding elixirs or heavenly materials to improve my physique. In just half a year, even if I circulate qi and blood day and night without pause, I might not achieve marrow cleansing and blood transformation to reach the Innate Realm...”

At this point,

Xu Zhengyang said thoughtfully, “But Master is a shrewd and far-sighted man. He definitely understands how hard body cultivation is. So… Is this Master’s test for me?”

Thinking this,

Xu Zhengyang’s eyes lit up with burning determination. He said, “Perfect. I’m someone who loves challenges! If Yang Hong could reach the Innate Realm before turning eighteen, with my programming constitution, could I be worse than Yang Hong?”

As he spoke,

Xu Zhengyang unhooked the Jade Gourd Talisman that Pei Zhen had just given him from his waist and said, “Once I refine this Jade Gourd Talisman, I’ll go find Senior Brother for help!”
