Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: They’re All Good People!

Looking at Yun Jiu, who resembled a stray dog on the verge of death.

Su Ping didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Licking dogs will not meet good ends?

Thinking of Yun Jiu’s background, Su Ping understood that such behavior was somewhat excusable.

Among the Outer Sect Disciples in the Immortal Sect, those who fell for the beauty trap usually came from the lower classes.

It wasn’t that it was in their nature, but rather their limited environment and experiences from a young age that made them more susceptible.

On the other hand, those from major families had handmaidens from childhood not only to take care of their daily needs but also to serve as their tutors.

Those who were highly valued were even arranged to have young wives and beautiful concubines from a young age, in order to dispel the mystery of such matters and curb their curiosity.

This facilitated their education and helped establish the ideals expected of a major family’s offspring.

Yun Jiu obviously wasn’t so fortunate and had gained attention due to his talents. Yet before he could get used to his status, he was schemed against and fell for it.

Like many seniors before him, mistaking a fleeting attraction for love at first sight.

And that impression had been reinforced into moving himself.

“When you went to the workshop this time… did you meet her?”

After hearing the story, Su Ping still gave up on the idea of questioning, a thankless task.

He just casually continued the conversation.

Yun Jiu’s face turned somewhat embarrassed:

“I directly handed the gift to her personal maid and left.”

“With the way I am now, it’s better not to meet…”

“So you mean to say, you didn’t even see her last time, you just delivered the gift and then came here to tell me all this?”

Su Ping resisted the urge to ruffle his hair and continued asking.

Yun Jiu quickly nodded and said:

“Senior brother, I’m in no condition to return to the Immortal Sect now, and the Deacon brother also warned me not to go back for a while.”

“I thought about it and plan to stay at the Nine Leaf Mountain Workshop for a while. This visit to you, senior brother, is to ask if I could borrow some demon beast meat.”

“After leaving Cloud Mountain Workshop, I am left without a single Spirit Stone.”

“But I will definitely repay you, and double! Although I was greatly injured this time, it also led to a breakthrough in my bottleneck, and I can now draw First Tier talismans.”

Faced with Yun Jiu’s request.

Su Ping hesitated for a moment, then understanding the situation better, he realized.

Because he had crafted that peculiar Beast Taming Talisman, Yun Jiu was severely weakened, appearing gaunt and even tainted with death Qi.

The Outer Sect Deacon obviously feared this aura being detected by the Immortal Sect, therefore he sternly ordered Yun Jiu not to return to the Immortal Sect for some time.

Unlike the workshop’s detection that only required you not to be a registered Evil Cultivator in the Immortal Sect and to pay with Spirit Stones.

After all, Yun Jiu was still an Outer Sect Disciple, and a talented one at that. If any other Outer Sect Deacons or even Inner Sect Disciples discovered something unusual, followed by a thorough investigation…

It might expose some secrets that the Outer Sect Deacon did not want to see.

“Nine Leaf Mountain Workshop, huh? That place is mostly populated by Loose Cultivators; no one there will dare to target you.”

“But you need to be aware that human hearts can be evil, and since you’re no longer in the Outer Sect, you must be extra careful.”

It was not a surprise to Su Ping that Yun Jiu had asked him; his status as a benign hunter of numerous demon beasts in Golden Sparrow City was not a secret.

“Well, I will give you thirty catties of Single-Horned Bull meat jerky, plus a jar of Tiger Bone Wine that I just brewed.”

“The quality isn’t great, as you know good quality beasts don’t usually come my way.”

“But it should still be effective in helping you recover some Primordial Qi.”

“However, let it be clear, this is all being lent to you, once you’ve recovered, it will all be converted into your talismans.”

Su Ping, pretending to feel somewhat pained, took out the meat and wine from his storage bag and handed them to Yun Jiu.

Yun Jiu quickly expressed his thanks by nodding and repeatedly bowed in gratitude towards Su Ping.

There are plenty who add flowers to brocade, but few who send charcoal in snowy weather!

Yun Jiu was deeply moved. He felt that he had not misjudged the person, as this Senior Brother Su Ping was a great person, second only to Fairy Luo and Deacon Brother in kindness towards him!

Once he achieved something significant in the future, he definitely had to repay this kindness!

Su Ping stood on the tall building of the Frost Moon Mansion, watching Yun Jiu leave.

This Yun Jiu was an investment trial by Su Ping towards the Immortal Sect disciples.

After all, as his cultivation improved, some resources had to be obtained from the Outer Sect or large workshops.

Yet those places were not ideal for Su Ping as an Inspector in terms of identity. It was unnecessary to risk being discovered for his real cultivation level.

“However, did the Outer Sect Deacon not send someone to silence him?”

“Am I overthinking, or does that Outer Sect Deacon trust Yun Jiu’s character that much?”

Thinking about Yun Jiu’s performance, Su Ping felt it was more likely the latter.

Naturally, the greater likelihood was that other circumstances had prevented the Deacon’s action.

This prompted him to give up silencing Yun Jiu.

Otherwise, Yun Jiu would have had no chance to come asking for demon beast meat.

The day after Su Ping saw off Yun Jiu, he received an unexpected letter from that fellow Deacon.

This Deacon happened to share the same surname as Yun Jiu.

However, unlike Yun Jiu who was from a peasant family, this Deacon Yun was from a branch of a prominent family in a big city.

It was said that after he became a Deacon, his branch had become the main family line, and his father had become the Family Head.

It was like the cultivation version of one man achieving the Way turning his chickens and dogs into heavenly beings.

Su Ping quickly read the letter from Deacon Yun.

The letter spoke of his blind worries for Yun Jiu and his fear of the recent chaos within the Immortal Sect.

As an Outer Sect Deacon, he knew more about the chaos and anomalies across the regions, thus he felt even more fearful about the future than many other Outer Sect disciples.

Then, the tone of the letter shifted as Deacon Yun mentioned he had recently found a discarded mine hiding a beast that might have Qilin bloodline.

This beast had cultivation at most in the late period of Qi cultivation, but it was very cunning and agile, making it difficult to capture.

Deacon Yun knew Su Ping had reached the Middle Period of Qi Cultivation, and hoped Su Ping would help him.

He also stated that he had already contacted over ten other peers; Magic Artifacts and Talismans were well prepared.

The probability of success for this mission was high, and there would be substantial rewards if Su Ping participated!

“A beast of Qilin bloodline, that’s not inferior to a Dragon Species beast at all!”

“No wonder this Deacon Yun couldn’t resist exploiting Yun Jiu to the fullest!”

“This letter is also interesting, instilling a sense of crisis first, then suggesting this scheme… It would be strange if someone else wasn’t tempted.”

Su Ping shook his head slightly and took out paper and pen to start writing a reply:

“Unfortunately, I can already mass-produce Dragon Species beasts!”

“This matter is too risky; I’d better not get involved!”

Su Ping had already made up his mind and directly used the excuse of having been internally injured while fighting a demon beast and not yet recovered to decline Deacon Yun’s invitation.

As for whether the other party believed it or not.

Su Ping could not care less!

If the other party really wanted to launch a sneak attack, they couldn’t blame Su Ping for not abiding by martial honor, as he would counterattack!

Su Ping handed the letter over to the City Lord Mansion to be sent through their channels.

Then Su Ping closed his eyes to communicate through White and Grey, the rat group… and instantly saw that on the outskirts of Golden Sparrow City.

A quite spectacular site for the Magic Meeting had already been prepared.

With each two-meter-high Buddha Tower placed on key nodes, the entire Magic Meeting site had become a Big Array!
