Castrated

The contents of the storage bag were indeed as Yue Qianchou had said. After checking with his divine sense, Qu Ping'er was astonished and asked, "Where did you get so many Spirit Stones?"

Yue Qianchou smiled and didn't answer directly. He simply held her gently and said, "Take good care of yourself." With that, he turned and walked away resolutely. Qu Ping'er called out reluctantly, "I'll wait for you."

Yue Qianchou didn't tell her that he lived right next door. Instead of returning to his own room, he went straight to Guan Yu's room, pushed the door open, and went in. Guan Yu had returned and was fiddling with a large pile of things on the table. Seeing Yue Qianchou arrive, he smiled and nodded, clearly pleased with the feeling of having money to shop extravagantly.

"Huh! Why do you smell like a woman?" Guan Yu's nostrils flared as he sniffed Yue Qianchou, who was approaching him.

Yue Qianchou was preoccupied and impatient with his question. He said, "How long does it take to get to Fu Xian Island from here? I want to go as soon as possible."

Guan Yu was taken aback, and his expression gradually turned grim. If Yue Qianchou went to Fu Xian Island, he would naturally need to use the Fu Xian Token. Once it was used, Guan Yu would essentially have no chance of ever returning to Fu Xian Island. However, his natal soul was in the other's hands, so what could he do? He sighed and said, "Hundred Flower Valley has a shop for Fu Xian Island. They have people who transport things back and forth using flying magic artifacts every day. Show your Fu Xian Token to the shop manager, and they will naturally take you there."

Yue Qianchou pondered for a moment, making up his mind. He patted Guan Yu's shoulder and, regardless of whether Guan Yu was happy or not, directly sent him into his spatial dimension. The items on the table were also swept in by him.

Then, a slender tube appeared in his hand. He had bought it outside. Earlier that day, while wandering through the market, someone had furtively grabbed him and asked if he wanted good stuff. Yue Qianchou asked what kind of good stuff it was. The person then pulled him aside, took out this item, and told him it was called 'Immortal Down,' something specifically made to deal with cultivators. In simpler terms, it was a sleeping smoke made for cultivators. It was very effective against cultivators below the Core Formation stage.

Yue Qianchou was overjoyed. The two of them immediately went to the wilderness and caught a few wild beasts to test it. It indeed had a miraculous effect. In his excitement, Yue Qianchou loudly declared the person a genius. However, he accidentally collected that person into his spatial dimension as well.

The tube had pointed ends sealed with wax at the small holes, and a fuse in the middle. Yue Qianchou took out flint and steel, struck it, and ignited the fuse. The fuse, trailing sparks, drilled into the tube. Immediately, there was a soft "poof" sound from inside the tube, and it felt slightly warm in his hand.

Yue Qianchou nodded with satisfaction. Holding it, he went into the corridor. Seeing that no one was around, he carefully approached Liu Zhengguang's door. He listened intently, but there was no movement inside. He twisted off the wax seals at both ends of the tube with his fingers, gently inserted one end through the gap under the door, and held the other end in his mouth, blowing gently.

Inside the room, Liu Zhengguang was sitting in meditation. With his cultivation level, he had actually heard some movement outside the door. He concentrated and investigated but found no one, so he didn't pay it any mind. This was mainly due to his arrogance; he hadn't suffered any setbacks in the Cultivation World yet. Furthermore, he hadn't heard of anyone from the Righteous or Demonic paths daring to cause trouble in Hundred Flower Inn within Hundred Flower Valley.

A wisp of blue smoke slowly drifted out from the gap under the door, gradually filling the entire room. Liu Zhengguang, who was sitting in meditation, twitched his nostrils slightly, thinking, What is this fragrant thing? Then, he felt the True Qi circulating within his body become heavy and slow. He frowned, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the room filled with blue smoke.

Even with his lack of experience, Liu Zhengguang realized at this moment that he had been tricked. His heart leaped in alarm. As he got up from the bed, he felt the world spin. He opened his mouth to shout, but before he could utter a sound, his vision suddenly darkened, and with a bang, he collapsed onto the floor.

Yue Qianchou had been waiting outside the entire time. He wasn't worried at all; if he were discovered, he could hide in the golden bead. Hearing the sound of someone falling to the ground inside, he thought, Success. He placed his palm on the door and applied a slight force. The bolt inside snapped open.

With his current cultivation, opening a door was a piece of cake. Moreover, in the Cultivation World, such doors were merely for show. A bolted door like this couldn't stop anyone. At most, the sound of the bolt being opened could alert the person inside, but now the person inside had already fainted.

He pushed the door open, quickly slipped inside, and after seeing Liu Zhengguang lying on the floor, he closed the door again. He walked straight over, and without a word, he kicked the person lying on the ground. Feeling that it wasn't enough to vent his anger, he kicked him several more times, cursing as he did, "You dare to hit on my girl, you're asking for death!"

Feeling slightly better, he took the storage bag from Liu Zhengguang's waist, opened it, and released his divine sense to investigate. As expected, he found a jade slip inside that perfectly matched Qu Ping'er's description.

Using his divine sense to investigate the jade slip further, he found layers of restrictions that he couldn't penetrate at all. Only the first layer was unlocked, which was likely the layer Liu Changqing had unlocked. It contained a large number of strange and obscure drug names that Yue Qianchou had never even heard of.

He couldn't discern whether they were real or fake. After collecting the storage bag into his spatial dimension, he immediately searched all around the room, not even sparing the bedding on the bed.

After confirming that nothing else was hidden, he stripped off all of Liu Zhengguang's clothes and examined each one carefully, but he found nothing.

"This guy is quite fair-skinned and tender, no wonder he dared to seduce my girl," Yue Qianchou muttered, looking at the naked Liu Zhengguang on the floor. If it weren't for the fear of causing trouble for Qu Ping'er, he would have killed Liu Zhengguang right now.

However, he couldn't bring himself to let it go. His gaze fell upon Liu Zhengguang's nether regions. Yue Qianchou touched his nose and let out a cold laugh. He glanced at the sword hanging by the bedside, walked over, and drew it. He circled the naked person on the floor, then swung the sword towards the base of Liu Zhengguang's thigh. A splash of blood erupted.

"Ping'er, I really can't trust this kind of person! I had no choice but to castrate him," Yue Qianchou sighed. Speaking of Qu Ping'er, his brow furrowed again.

Liu Zhengguang had only told Qu Ping'er about the pill recipe. Now that it was stolen and he had been castrated, the first people the Liu family grandfather and grandson would suspect would likely be Qu Ping'er. This wouldn't do!

Looking at the blood flowing from Liu Zhengguang's lower body, Yue Qianchou's tightly knitted brows relaxed. He smiled faintly, took a brush from the brush holder nearby, dipped it in the blood on the ground, and drew several large characters on the wall: "Liu Changqing, the revenge for the annihilation of my clan will be repaid another day. I happened to meet your grandson, so I'm collecting some interest first."

After finishing, Yue Qianchou calmly walked out and closed the door. As he passed Qu Ping'er's room, he resisted the urge to go in again.

He left Hundred Flower Inn and walked directly towards the shops around the plaza. He had seen the Fu Xian Island shop when he was wandering around during the day, and now he was heading there.

As he walked through the market, thinking that he didn't know when he would be able to come again, he browsed the items on the stalls as he walked. Anything he found potentially useful, he bought directly and threw into his storage bag, not even bothering to haggle over the price.
