Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 720 - 366、The reason for ascending to the upper realm

"I ascended to the Chiming World… The specific matter is related to the Chiming Imperial Dynasty. As for this place… it's not convenient to talk more."

Xu Xing pondered for a moment and then replied.

There wasn't much need to conceal the matter of ascending to the Chiming World, but ascending through the Emperor's Son Pavilion's Cross-State Teleportation Array... this matter needed to be hidden.

Now, the only cultivators who knew he had used the Emperor's Son Pavilion's Cross-State Teleportation Array to ascend to the Chiming World were Wen Renlan and the Fire Spirit Sect Master.

Ascending using the Emperor's Son Pavilion's Teleportation Array wasn't a heinous crime. However, since it involved the Chiming Imperial Dynasty, even a small matter would become a big one. It was better not to mention it if it could be avoided.

"Next time, I will find another time… to have a chat with Fellow Daoist Hua…"

Xu Xing continued.

He wanted to know more about the Broken Dragon Platform, and if he could obtain Lady Hua's method for ascending to the Chiming World, it would also be a great benefit to him. If he could control the passage from the Purple Yin Realm to the Chiming World, it would be equivalent to having the entire Purple Yin Realm as his power base…

"That's fine."

Lady Hua nodded slightly, not saying more.

The encounter between Xu Xing and Lady Hua did not disturb the others in the private room, where Courtesan Su Lian Immortal had been playing the Pipa the whole time.

The Pipa's music was clear and pleasant, as ethereal as an orchid in a secluded valley. Listening closely, it sounded like rain pattering on banana leaves, its notes lingering in the air.

Soon, the cultivators were immersed in the music.

Xu Xing was no exception.

Although the music had little effect on his cultivation, after listening, he felt a slight improvement in his mental state.

Shaoqing. The sound of the Pipa stopped.

"Concubine shall take her leave for now..." Su Lian Immortal said, lifting the beaded curtain. She smiled at Xu Xing, performed a curtsy, and holding her skirt, departed from the private room.

"Is it over already?" Shi Feiyang watched Su Lian Immortal walk out gracefully, his expression surprised, finding it hard to believe.

On the way here, he had learned from Xu Xing the price of inviting Su Lian Immortal: fifty Inferior Pills for a single performance.

Such an expensive price for only one song; even a young master like him found it hard to stomach.

"The Courtesans of Yunu Pavilion are like this; one song is worth a thousand gold."

Xu Xing shook his head and replied.

Paying fifty Pill Jades for one song was indeed costly, but Su Lian Immortal was, after all, a Courtesan renowned throughout the surrounding Sea Area. If he weren't a Fire Spirit Sect Elder, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he might not have been able to invite a Courtesan of Yunu Pavilion at that price. For cultivators without status, the price to see a Yunu Pavilion Courtesan even once would be far more than fifty Pill Jades.

"Fifty Pill Jades just to see her face and hear one song?" Shi Feiyang felt Xu Xing was being a bit of a dupe.

"That might not be the case."

Seeing Shi Feiyang's expression, Xu Xing smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying it.

It wouldn't be worth spending so much just to see the Courtesan himself, but for the sake of entertaining someone, it was a small price to pay.

"Su Lian Immortal has left, but there are other female Daoists in Yunu Pavilion. Brother Shi, if you fancy any of them, just let me know."

Xu Xing clapped his hands.

Immediately after, two rows of enchanting women entered the private room, each possessing devastating beauty, enough to make fish sink and birds fall, with looks that could topple cities and kingdoms.

In the Cultivation World, female cultivators at the Returning Core Realm or higher all possessed excellent appearances.

Compared to renowned beauties, they only lacked a certain temperament.

"This..."

Shi Feiyang hesitated for a moment.

However, when he saw the two rows of beautiful female cultivators before him and recalled the figure of Su Lian Immortal who had just departed, he could no longer resist.

"Thank you, Elder Xu... Next time, it's my treat..." Shi Feiyang nodded and casually chose two Dao Pill Realm female cultivators.

Seeing this, Xu Xing immediately gave the two Dao Pill Realm female cultivators a meaningful look.

"Senior Shi~" the two Dao Pill Realm female cultivators cooed, sidling up to Shi Feiyang.

Before long, Shi Feiyang was escorted from the private room to an adjacent one.

...

...

「A few days later.」 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Xu Xing and Shi Feiyang left Yunu Pavilion. Shi Feiyang's aura was somewhat diminished, but his spirits were quite high.

"Lust is a bone-scraping knife; the ancients truly did not deceive me," Shi Feiyang lamented, pulling a pill from his sleeve and swallowing it.

Although his cultivation had actually increased during his visit to Yunu Pavilion—as the female Daoists there practiced dual cultivation arts—his vitality had been significantly depleted.

"From the sound of your words, Brother Shi, I take it you don't plan on visiting Yunu Pavilion again? It seems your offer to treat me next time was just empty talk,"

Xu Xing laughed.

"How could that be?"

"I was just speaking casually..." Shi Feiyang quickly said with a serious expression.

Although his position in the Fire Spirit Sect was considerable, even higher than Xu Xing's, that was only within the Fire Spirit Sect, not in the world outside. If he wanted to receive the same service as today in Yunu Pavilion again, he would need the help of a Nascent Soul Stage Sage Monarch like Xu Xing.

"Even if you offered to treat me, as your martial uncle, I couldn't truly let you, Brother Shi…"

Xu Xing waved his hand.

"However… if I were to gain control of the Formation Hall, with that authority, the Pill Jades would be endless…" Xu Xing changed the subject, giving Shi Feiyang a meaningful look as he spoke.

No one who cultivates to the Nascent Soul Realm is a fool. Although Shi Feiyang lacked experience, Xu Xing didn't believe he could be easily deceived.

Now that the pleasantries were over, it was time to talk business.

"Taking charge of the Formation Hall…" Shi Feiyang's playful expression vanished, his features growing serious.

As early as their departure for Yunu Pavilion, he had suspected Xu Xing had a favor to ask. After all, one doesn't visit a temple for no reason. He doubted Xu Xing would seek him out after several years merely to borrow money.
