Chapter 228: Chapter 86 Fu Yingying’s Request
“””
Given the pressure this momentum brought upon him, the person releasing it must have a cultivation that far surpasses his own, yet it now mixed with the raw power of Dharma Form, making it seem incongruous.
“I must be mistaken…”
Shaking his head, Min Jiangtao strode toward Zhang Xuan’s room, no longer dwelling on the thought.
With matters here settled, it was time to return to the Zhou Yi Dynasty, lest his teacher devised some kind of response.
Unaware that Min Jiangtao had sensed the aura that leaked out from his breakthrough, Zhang Xuan turned to look at the Primordial Spirit behind him.
A normal Ninefold Source Pool cultivator’s Primordial Spirit stands twelve feet tall, manifesting in a faint aqua color, similar to a ghostly shadow, devoid of beauty but full of majesty and oppression.
However, his Primordial Spirit, upon appearing, was a full twenty-four feet tall, radiating a pale golden color, as if it were a deity descending from the clouds. One glance at it dispelled any thoughts of resistance in the beholder.
“Why does it look different?”
Zhang Xuan speculated in his heart, “Could this be because I’ve broken the shackles of 999 horsepower?”
Although he did not understand what this pale golden Primordial Spirit meant, he realized it must be related to the “Heavenly Destiny” he had comprehended.
As the Primordial Spirit returned into his body, he felt his soul become more solidified.
If his soul could previously only travel at night and not dare to go too far during the day, now, within a range of hundreds of miles, this shouldn’t be a problem, and the ordinary strong winds that wished to scatter it would not find it so easy to do so.
Of course, unless absolutely necessary, it was best not to leave the body as a soul, since without the protection of the flesh, it was all too easy to be eradicated by those who practice soul cultivation techniques. And the body, unable to resist, was also in great danger.
Initially, it was because Ling Buyang used his soul’s departure from the body that he sought to kill Zhang Xuan but was instead slain by Sun Qiang.
“Young Master, Master Fu is looking for you, waiting in the living room…”
Sun Qiang came over.
Now, Sun Qiang had also achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation, reaching the Detachment Realm, and combined with the Giant Wave Formation, he exuded an unfathomable aura.
“Hmm!”
Zhang Xuan hid his cultivation and strode out to the living room, indeed seeing Fu Yingying sitting quietly in the room, her gaze wandering, seemingly lost in thought.
In these past few days, a storm had taken over Han Yuan City; others only knew that Empress Han Qianchou had been killed by Elder Min Jiangtao for offending the Mo Blade Sect, but deep down, Fu Yingying understood that it must have something to do with this “Ling Buyang.”
Killing Feng Zhaoting under the name of Li Yue’an, then reaping the rewards, followed by killing Li Yue’an himself… It was exactly the same as how Han Qianchou killed Mo Qing and was murdered after claiming the bounty.
To say he wasn’t involved behind the scenes, she wouldn’t believe it herself.
However, since the other party didn’t bring it up, she certainly wouldn’t say more.
This “Ling Buyang,” who seems harmless to humans and animals and typically quite amiable, is truly merciless when he makes a move, even she would not dare to easily offend him.
“Master Fu…”
As her thoughts were in disarray, a laughing voice arose, and she hurriedly turned her head, only to see that “Ling Buyang” had already arrived.
Having not seen him for a few days, Vice Hall Master Ling’s temperament had become even more profound, and his aura even stronger. Although he did not display his cultivation, Fu Yingying understood that he could kill her with a single slap if he wished.
She quickly got up and bowed in salute, “Vice Hall Master Ling, the Destiny Plates you requested, I’ve urgently gathered 150 pieces and brought them here for you…”
After speaking, she gestured to the side, and only then did Zhang Xuan notice that a large pile of Destiny Plates was placed on the ground beside them.
“Good!”
Zhang Xuan nodded his head in approval.
“””
Just as he had used up the Heavenly Mandate Vitality, the other party conveniently sent it over, just like a pillow being delivered to someone dozing off.
Although 150 pieces were not many, as long as he did not upgrade the Pathos of Heaven Destiny or enhance the Giant Wave Formation for the time being, it should be enough…
With a grab in the air, he collected the Destiny Plate into the New World, then turned to look at Sun Qiang. The chief steward immediately came forward, with a smile on his face, “Master Fu, here are three hundred million Origin Notes…”
During this time, through gambling and searching corpses, he had accumulated quite a sum of Origin Currency. Three hundred million was a lot but still within his means to offer.
“This…”
Fu Yingying did not accept it, but instead bowed with clasped hands, “Vice Hall Master Ling, if you could lend me a hand, these Destiny Plates can be considered a gift from me to you.”
“Help you?” Zhang Xuan looked over, puzzled.
Fu Yingying, “To be honest, I am also a Fate Master, and I practice the Fox Charm Destiny… Our branch needs to charm young and talented individuals to advance. The more talented the charmed person is, the greater our progress will be…”
Zhang Xuan was surprised.
He had long known that she excelled in the Fox Charm Destiny but had not expected the method of practice to be such.
After pondering, Zhang Xuan asked, “Could it be that what Master Fu seeks has to do with this so-called Fox Charm Destiny?”
“Exactly, I was hoping…”
Fu Yingying bit her lip, “Vice Hall Master Ling, could you accept my charm and accompany me back to my clan?”
“Accept your charm? And return to the clan with you?”
Zhang Xuan was taken aback and quickly shook his head, “I apologize, but I do have principles…”
What a joke, 150 Destiny Plates, and she wants me to follow her, what a joke.
Fu Yingying’s face turned red, “Vice Hall Master Ling has misunderstood. What I mean is… You just have to pretend to be charmed by me, accompany me back to the clan, and after I have inherited the destiny, you are free to leave. It’s not that I want to truly bewitch you. Besides, with your firm will, Vice Hall Master, even if I wanted to, I wouldn’t be able to!”
She had tried before, several times, to the point of nearly stripping and throwing herself at him. But he was like a blind man, completely oblivious, leaving her utterly frustrated.
“I am truly sorry, but I really can’t help you!”
Zhang Xuan waved his hand, hurriedly refusing.
What a laugh, my wife is in the backyard. If I accept your charm and follow you… do I look like I want to die?
Fu Yingying quickly said, “I implore Vice Hall Master Ling to assist. The clan’s selection is in half a month. If I can’t find a suitable candidate by then, I might completely lose my chance at the inheritance of the destiny…”
“That’s your business, not related to me at all!”
Zhang Xuan did not shake his head, “Besides, doesn’t your art of enticement require younger people with higher talent? Given my age and strength, I’m certainly not suitable…”
He was pretending to be Ling Buyang and was nearly fifty years old. At such an age, with his Ninefold Source Pool pinnacle strength, he was considered passable in Han Yuan City, but in the Zhou Yi Dynasty or broader places, he would not even count as a talent.
Fu Yingying looked at him, gritted her teeth, “Vice Hall Master Ling, you must be joking. If I’m not wrong, this identity of yours must be fake, and your real age cannot be more than thirty, right?”
“What makes Master Fu say so?”
Zhang Xuan frowned.
Fu Yingying took a deep breath, “Everyone knows that the Wanxiang Sect has well-informed intelligence but what they don’t know is that the black market is equally informed, if not more so… If I’m not wrong, you’re not Vice Hall Master Ling, but Zhang Xuan from Baiyan City, the genius, right?”
Moreover, after everything is done, there would be a reward of 500 Destiny Plates!
