A Deal with the Jade Pool Saintess

"Sister, you...?!"

How did you know?

Lu Yao was startled. "His transformation technique is a closely guarded secret of our Yaochi. Even a Mahayana cultivator might not be able to see through it!"

"The one you love?"

Lin Fan didn't answer her question, but instead jokingly spoke up.

"This..."

Lu Yao blushed. "Sister, you're joking. We're just ordinary friends."

"Why would you need to act like this if we're just ordinary friends?"

"Are you even willing to incur karmic Karma and favors to find him a better way out? If he were just an ordinary friend, how could your Jade Pool Holy Land not tolerate him?"

"Sister Lu Yao ..."

"It's not that I can't help you, but you won't even tell me the truth. How can I help you?"

Lin Fan started to deceive...

Helping Qi Zixiao with a trivial favor in exchange for a promise from Lu Yao is definitely a profitable deal!

But we can't let her feel it's too easy or too simple, can we?

This girl looks completely naive and inexperienced...

Ahem, don't get me wrong, we're not trying to abduct naive young girls or anything, we're just being prepared!

"Sister is right."

Lu Yao's face turned even redder, like a monkey's bottom. "But I can't really call her my sweetheart. Her name is Lu Ming, and she's a friend from my village."

"Our village was originally within the jurisdiction of the Jade Pool Holy Land, but due to a moment of negligence, Lu Family Village was massacred by Demonic Cultivator. Apart from my sister who had already entered the Jade Pool Holy Land, only Lu Ming escaped this calamity because he was too busy playing and had not returned."

"From then on, only my brother Lu Ming and I remained in the entire Lu Family Village. Naturally, I wanted to help him find a good place to live."

"But our Jade Pool Holy Land only accepts female disciples, so..."

"So that's why you thought of me?" Lin Fan asked curiously, "Why?"

"Among the Seven Great Holy Lands, Six Great Holy Lands recruit male disciples, right? And for you, the Jade Pool Saintess, to ask is naturally not a difficult matter."

"No."

Lu Yao slowly shook her head. "The most taboo thing about the Holy Land is to be interfered with by other Holy Lands. In particular, if I publicly request that Brother Lu Ming join another Holy Land, he will definitely not be taken seriously."

"That's true..."

Lin Fan nodded in agreement.

Isn't that right?

Having been introduced to other holy lands by the Jade Pool Saintess, do you still want to be valued?

They may seem to value it on the surface, but in reality, who would dare to entrust you with the real stuff?

What if you hand it over to the Jade Pool Saintess, or even the Jade Pool Holy Land, in the blink of an eye?

Wouldn't that shake the very foundation of our own sacred land?

Simply put... if the Jade Pool Saintess were to publicly introduce Lu Ming, then... Lu Ming would most likely be seen as a spy or something.

They might not say it outright, but in reality, they certainly won't teach any truly exclusive techniques or secret arts.

"I want to secure a good future for Brother Lu Ming, not just his status as a Holy Land Disciple, so this matter cannot be made public."

Lu Yao was open and honest, and no longer hid anything.

This issue is out in the open; who wouldn't worry that Lu Ming is a spy?

If Lin Fan brings him into the Holy Land and something goes wrong afterwards, Qi Zixiao will also be held responsible!

Therefore, Lin Fan frowned slightly. "And what makes you think I would help you?"

"I thought about it for a long time."

Lu Yao said helplessly, "Of all the holy lands, only the Purple Mansion is inclusive and teaches according to aptitude."

"And you, sister, in my opinion, are the kindest of all the people who could help..."

"Stop, stop, stop. Let's not flatter my sister like that anymore."

Lin Fan said he wasn't stupid.

Your promise, Lu Yao, may be very 'valuable,' but would we do something to cheat that Tigress?

Who are the real allies? Need I say more?

"Elder sister..."

Lu Yao's eyes immediately welled up with tears. "If you don't help me, no one else will."

"Brother Lu Ming is very talented, and we have already agreed that he can make Heavenly Dao Oath before he enters the sect."

"Oh?"

Heavenly Dao Oath?!

This is something we can discuss a little.

"If you agree, sister, I can have Brother Lu Ming Heavenly Dao Oath sect. If he reveals even a fraction of the Purple Mansion's secrets, or does anything that would betray the Purple Mansion Holy Land, he will be struck by lightning and annihilated, body and soul!"

"With this vow, one can go to other holy sites as well."

Lin Fan said he wasn't so easily fooled.

With such talent, why would someone be willing to make such a poisonous oath?

Other holy sites can teach you the real stuff too.

"But... the Purple Mansion is most suitable for Brother Lu Ming, he is..."

Lu Yao spoke softly, revealing a secret. "The Ten Thousand Stars Body!"

Lin Fan: "..."

Lu Yao: "???"

Lu Yao, who thought Qi Zixiao would be extremely surprised, found that Qi Zixiao remained unmoved and indifferent.

Hiss!

She was amazed.

As expected of the legendary Qi Zixiao, who possesses unparalleled talent and incomparable genius, she remained unfazed upon hearing about the Ten Thousand Stars Body.

But actually...

Lin Fan was completely baffled!

What is Ten Thousand Stars Body?

We had absolutely no idea, okay?

I could only ask A Wu in secret.

"Sister A'Wu, are you there? The Ten Thousand Stars Body is very suitable for our Purple Mansion Holy Land?"

"Yes!" A Wu replied, "The Ten Thousand Stars Art and the Ten Thousand Stars Body, one of the sect's most treasured techniques of the Purple Mansion Holy Land, are a perfect match made in heaven."

"!!!!"

Okay!

That makes sense.

"So it's Ten Thousand Stars Body!"

After bidding farewell to A Wu, Lin Fan said calmly, "In that case, it is indeed very suitable for our Purple Mansion Holy Land."

"If he makes Heavenly Dao Oath, I can help him enter the Purple Mansion, but whether he can ultimately reach that point depends on himself."

"That's natural."

Lu Yao immediately beamed with joy. "If you're willing to help me, I'll owe you a huge favor!"

"As for favors... let's forget about it."

Lin Fan was constantly making plans in his mind!

Helping Lu Yao? It's not impossible, and if Lu Ming really makes that kind of Heavenly Dao Oath, it would basically be a good thing for the Purple Mansion Holy Land.

After all, Lin Fan didn't know what the Ten Thousand Stars Body and Ten Thousand Stars Art represented, but he could guess how extraordinary it was just from the words "one of the sect's most powerful techniques".

In short, it's beneficial and harmless to the Purple Mansion Holy Land.

Moreover, they also owe themselves, or rather, Qi Zixiao, Karma.

Whether it's Lu Yao or Lu Ming, even if they keep saying they don't want favors, they will definitely remember it.

This is great news!

Of course, these are distant benefits. What are the immediate benefits?

The Internet!

Lin Fan hadn't originally planned to spread the internet beyond the Purple Mansion Holy Land in a short period of time, but now, wasn't a great opportunity right in front of him?

What are the pursuits of ordinary people, simply put?

Food and sex are human nature!

What about cultivators?

The primary goal is to achieve immortality, and what comes next?

There's an old saying that goes, "Wealth, Law, Companionship, and Location!"

Cultivating immortality also requires wealth, followed by cultivation techniques and spells. Then, a cultivation partner is also a very important factor.

Whether it's a proper Dual Cultivation complementing each other, or a slender lady being pursued by a gentleman, it doesn't matter.

In short, whether in the Human Realm or the Cultivation World, beautiful women always have many suitors!

In other words, the entire Jade Pool Holy Land is populated by female disciples, all of whom are fair-skinned, beautiful, and exceptionally talented.

If we were to add a group of beauties like this to the internet... the Holy Son Jade Pool Saintess would both be among them.

Once this news gets out, won't it be a huge boost to my efforts in promoting the internet within the Purple Mansion?!

"What does this mean, sister?"

Lu Yao's expression was serious. "If you have done me and Brother Lu Ming such a great favor, how can it be settled with just a favor or a matter?"

"My sister has already gotten the better deal, how can she possibly..."

"Don't worry, little sister."

Lin Fan grinned. "What you mean, sister, is that I do have something for you to do, and we'll exchange it as a favor?"

"Sister, please speak freely!"

exchange?

A trade would be great!

It's better than owing someone a favor.

Lu Yao immediately sat up straight.

"I had some free time, so I invented a gadget that can be used for chatting and entertainment, and also allows one to comprehend the great Dao. It needs more people to join in so that it can be perfected and made complete."

"How about you join us, little sister, and recommend some of your fellow disciples from the Jade Pool Holy Land to join us?"

"This..."

Lu Yao wasn't stupid, and hesitated before asking, "Could my sister take a look first?"

"What's the harm in that!"

Lin Fan immediately took out a brand new terminal and taught Lu Yao how to register, log in, and use its functions.

After experiencing it, Lu Yao was amazed.

"Such a thing exists? It is indeed quite interesting. If we add it as a friend, it would be much more convenient to use for communication than Sound Transmission Jade Talisman."

"One terminal can connect you to everyone."

"This is just one of the benefits; the more you use it, the more you'll experience!"

Lin Fan earnestly pleaded, "Well? Would you like to 'swap' with your older sister?"

"Of course I'd like to."

After some discussion, the two finalized the 'deal'.

Lin Fan helped Lu Ming join the Purple Mansion Holy Land, and he even started as Inner Sect Disciple!

Lu Yao needs to help Lin Fan promote internet terminals in the Jade Pool Holy Land.

It's not much, only fifty yuan, and it's free.

However, there is one requirement: it must be given to someone from Yaochi whose status and position are above that of Inner Sect Disciple.

Lin Fan naturally had his reasons for making this request.

First of all, those above the Inner Sect Disciple often represent those with even greater talent!

Those with high natural talent are often more beautiful; in other words, they are basically all stunning beauties! With so many beautiful women, it's possible to achieve the desired promotional effect, right?

Secondly, they're rich!

If you're also addicted to mahjong or something... then you'll lose, right?

As for why only fifty yuan was given, it's mainly because 'things are valued for their scarcity'!

If you give too much, it becomes less precious.

Give them fifty yuan first. Once they understand the benefits of the internet, how can they possibly share it?

What if there aren't enough to go around?

That's none of Lin Fan's business; in fact, he'd love to see a buying frenzy erupt in the Jade Pool Holy Land.

By then, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for the internet to take over the Jade Pool Holy Land?

After discussing and finalizing the details, both of them were satisfied.

Lin Fan also thought of a way to get Lu Ming into the Purple Mansion Holy Land, starting as Inner Sect Disciple!
