Chapter 177 - 177: Youthful Ignorance
After going through a series of complex emotions such as shock, struggle, hesitation, fear, fortune, and greed, the middle-aged cultivator reluctantly agreed to Xu Fan’s price.
It was because of just one sentence from Xu Fan.
“What does it have to do with seniors if I raise the price?”
Xu Fan looked at the middle-aged cultivator who seemed to be doing this kind of thing for the first time and felt it was necessary to comfort the man who had just experienced his first time in life.
“Senior, as a friend, I’ll maintain your Spiritual Treasures Tools for free in the future,” Xu Fan said.
In that instant, the middle-aged cultivator felt that the food at home was really delicious.
After the middle-aged cultivator finished his own business, he gave Xu Fan a very subtle look.
“You guys go patrol around the sect’s surroundings and see if there are any Ice Lake Giant Shrimp. Today, I want to serve this dish to the senior,” Xu Fan said to the three impatient people behind him.
“Yes, sir.”
The three happily got up, said goodbye to Xu Fan and the middle-aged cultivator, and left.
“Senior, you can speak now.”
“This dojo has soundproofing and arrays that block Divine Sense probing,” Xu Fan said.
The middle-aged cultivator organized his thoughts, and said, “My fellow, named Su Rentian, cultivates the Hundred Desires Dao.’
“It seems that this Path of Love and Desire may be related to your disciple.”
“If my disciple refuses Senior Rentian, will there be any danger?” Xu Fan asked with a frown. If it was just a fleeting affair, it would be fine, but if it was really going to force a man, he, as a master, couldn’t stand by and encourage his disciple with words like “a woman is worth three hundred to send off a country.”
“No, there are many kinds of Love and Desire. Unrequited love is fine too,” the middle-aged cultivator replied.
“But if your third disciple doesn’t want to, you’d better persuade her. If your disciple becomes my friend’s Heart Demon, it’s best to let your disciple hide for some time.’
“That’s what I wanted to tell you.”
“I’ve been working with my fellow Rentian for over three hundred years. She’s always been single, has a high cultivation level, is strong in combat power, and is also beautiful.’
“If you let your disciple marry her, it wouldn’t be a bad story, and your sect would have one more Nascent Soul expert,” the middle-aged cultivator said.
“I don’t get involved in my disciple’s emotional matters,” Xu Fan shook his head. He was not interested in having another Nascent Soul expert in the sect, and that person was a stranger he had never met before.
Although she was interested in his disciple, she was still an outsider. As for Heart Demons, he believed his disciple would handle it fine.
“My fellow Rentian is pitiful. She was born the daughter of a Sect Master in a Nine-level Sect in the Central Continent. She was pampered from birth.”
“Unfortunately, the sect was later attacked by a Demonic Cult, and only an injured Inner Sect Elder managed to escape with the ten-year-old Rentian.” “The elder entrusted the sect’s treasure house and the ten-year-old Rentian to the Elders Association before disappearing.”
“Now, under the name of my fellow Rentian, besides countless valuable Spirit Stones, there is also a Xing Zhou and two Hai Zhou hanging in the name of the Elders Association.’
“It is said that the annual income makes the Mahayana cultivators who are about to cross the tribulation and become immortals jealous.”
In the last sentence, the middle-aged cultivator’s tone was extremely envious. If he had so many Spirit Stones, he would definitely set up a sword collection pavilion filled with Dao Artifact Level spiritual swords.
At this moment, Xu Fan’s eyes began to gradually change, and in his mind appeared the scene of Rentian marrying Li Xingci with countless Spirit Stones.
“Disciple, you’re still young. There are so many Spirit Stones, I think I should keep them for you,” Xu Fan imagined.
For a moment, an imposing mother-in-law demanding a high dowry in a previous life rose from Xu Fan’s body. If she wanted to marry his handsome
disciple, she would at least have to give a Xing Zhou as a dowry.
“I understand what Senior means, but I will still follow my disciple’s opinion.”
“We can’t go against our own hearts just because the other person is wealthy. In this way, we won’t go far in the path of cultivating immortality,” Xu Fan smiled and said. He just indulged in fantasy for a moment, but how could he bear to push his disciple out for a dowry?
At this moment, on a beautiful mountain peak thousands of miles away from the Main Peak, Li Xingci completed the design of Su Rentian’s ideal residence using Illusion Arts and received a reward of storage bag full of Spirit Stones.
“Thank you, senior, for the reward,” Li Xingci thanked, without checking the storage bag, he directly hung it on his waist.
“Don’t be so polite. This is just your hard work fee.”
“It’s rare that someone can design such a residence with Immortal Qi. I’ll come and live here after I finish dealing with the Elders Association,” Su Rentian said, her beautiful phoenix eyes staring at Li Xingci, her eyes becoming increasingly blurred.
She had never seen such a handsome and charming male cultivator before.
She seemed to want to snuggle in his arms and live like that for the rest of her life.
Li Xingci’s expression was very indifferent in the face of Su Rentian’s slightly blurred eyes. He had seen too much of such eyes when he was a scholar who lived a freeloading life in his past life.
Eh, would that life be considered living off a woman? No, in that life, I made a living by my talent.
“Junior will send a sect puppet to build a small courtyard for senior,” Li Xingci said, clearing his mind, and spoke to Su Rentian.
“Alright.” Her voice was sweet and carried a hint of affection.
Three hours later, Xu Fan took Li Xingci to say goodbye to the middle-aged cultivator and Su Rentian.
Watching the Red Escape Light rapidly flying towards the horizon, Xu Fan and Li Xingci sighed at the same time.
“That beautiful senior cultivates the Hundred Desires Dao, and among them, the Path of Love and Desire will apply to you in the tribulation.”
“You better be psychologically prepared. If you don’t handle it well, you will become her Heart Demon.’
“By the way, that female cultivator senior is also a top-level rich wife, who can casually take out hundreds of billions of Spirit Stones without blinking an eye,” Xu Fan said enviously.
“Oh.” Li Xingci’s reaction was very flat. He had seen rich wives before, and besides, he didn’t need so many Spirit Stones.
Seeing the indifferent expression on his disciple’s face, Xu Fan sighed, “Young people nowadays don’t know…”
At this moment, Li Xingci took out a storage bag and handed it to Xu Fan.
“This is the hard-work fee given by that beautiful senior. It shouldn’t be too little.”
“I heard Master has been short of Spirit Stones lately. Just think of this as your disciple’s filial tribute,” Li Xingci said.
Xu Fan took the storage bag and glanced inside, then immediately started contemplating how he could sell his disciple for a good dowry in exchange for Spirit Stones.
Just one hard-work fee gave a small target. She was really extravagant.
“Disciple, how do you feel about that senior?” Xu Fan asked.
“Not much, we just met by chance. What love and affection? I’ve experienced too much of that. Now, I just want to cultivate the Supreme Great Path and see a glimpse of the more extensive Immortal World,” Li Xingci said.
“But if Master wants to sell me for a good price…” Li Xingci paused, after recalling Su Rentian’s full appearance in his mind, he continued, “You should sell me for more.’
“Haha, how could your master be that kind of person?”
