Xiaoyaozi's Lure

## Chapter 35: Xiaoyaozi's Temptation

One evening, Shi Yue returned to Green Cloud Peak, his face etched with exhaustion.

He had visited over fifty places that day without a moment's rest, leaving him physically and mentally drained.

Before he even landed, Shi Yue spotted two familiar faces waiting for him.

Truthfully, Shi Yue detested these two, but due to their cultivation levels, he couldn't afford to offend them.

"Junior Brother Shi, you're back," Liu Zhen said with a slight smile, her tone laced with concern.

"Junior Brother Shi, we've been waiting for you," Chen Ming chimed in with a smile, appearing to be on good terms with Shi Yue.

"Senior Brother Chen, Senior Sister Liu, is there something you need?" Shi Yue asked, frowning slightly.

In Shi Yue's eyes, their visit was like a weasel wishing the chickens a Happy New Year – ill-intentioned.

"Junior Brother Shi, I heard you have a way to treat the Blackening Disease. My Spirit Herbs have contracted it too. Could you possibly help?" Liu Zhen asked with a smile, dimples appearing on her beautiful face, making her look charming and lovely.

"I'm sorry, Senior Sister Liu. I'm too tired today. I can take a look tomorrow," Shi Yue replied, shaking his head.

Shi Yue wasn't lying. He was indeed exhausted, and more importantly, he had run out of the urine in his gourd and needed to enter the Palm Heaven Space to produce more.

"Junior Brother Shi, we've been waiting for you all day. Don't you think it's a bit heartless to say that?" Chen Ming's expression darkened, and he spoke with displeasure.

"Heartless?" Shi Yue's lips curled into a mocking smile. "If we're talking about heartlessness, how can I compare to Senior Brother Chen and Senior Sister Liu? If you two hadn't spread rumors back then, I wouldn't have been blackmailed?"

"Junior Brother Shi, where did you get that information? We never spread rumors. You shouldn't slander good people," Liu Zhen's face changed color, and she quickly tried to explain.

"Heh heh, good people? Since Senior Brother Chen and Senior Sister Liu consider yourselves good people, then return the hundreds of Spirit Stones you took from me back then!" Shi Yue extended a palm, smiling.

Seeing this, Liu Zhen and Chen Ming exchanged glances.

"Junior Brother Shi, we're not exactly well-off. Please help us cure our Spirit Herbs first. Once we're financially stable in the future, we'll definitely return them in full," Liu Zhen said earnestly.

"Senior Sister Liu, do you take me for a three-year-old child?" Shi Yue retorted sarcastically.

"Shi Yue, don't push your luck. If you know what's good for you, come with us obediently. Otherwise, you'll regret it later," Chen Ming said, his brows furrowed, his voice cold.

Shi Yue acted as if he hadn't heard them, pushed open the courtyard gate, and walked in.

With a "bang," the courtyard gate slammed shut heavily.

Chen Ming's face turned terrifyingly grim, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Senior Brother Chen, what should we do?" Liu Zhen asked cautiously, her eyebrows knitted.

"He refuses to help, so what can we do? We can only watch our Spirit Herbs die," Chen Ming said coldly. Then, as if struck by an idea, he continued, "Now I'm certain that Ancestor Shi must have left Shi Yue a great treasure. After enduring for so many years, Shi Yue finally dares to use it."

"A great treasure? What treasure? Should we spread the news?" Liu Zhen asked, her eyebrows furrowed.

"Spread the news? Why would we do that? Don't you want to claim this treasure for yourself? As for what treasure it is, we'll know once we get our hands on it," Chen Ming chuckled, his eyes gleaming with desire.

"You saw the situation today. He wouldn't even help us cure the Blackening Disease. It's probably not easy to make him hand over the treasure willingly!" Liu Zhen said with some doubt.

"Indeed! We need to think of a foolproof plan. Let's go back and discuss it," Chen Ming agreed.

With that, the two of them left on their flying artifacts.

Shi Yue was completely unaware of Chen Ming and Liu Zhen's schemes. At this moment, he was urinating in the Palm Heaven Space!

After urinating more than a dozen times, Shi Yue felt a bit overwhelmed, his face turning pale.

"Hey, Shi kid, you're already like this after just a few pees. Your body is too weak!" Xiaoyaozi's voice suddenly rang out, filled with amusement.

"Go, go, go. It wasn't just a few pees, it was over a dozen! Easy for you to say when you're not the one doing it," Shi Yue waved his hand dismissively.

"Hmph, it's not that I'm bragging, but in my day, one pee of mine could fill a lake. To put it bluntly, I could drown you with a single pee," Xiaoyaozi's voice was full of confidence.

"Drown me with a pee?" Shi Yue's lips twitched involuntarily.

"Heh heh, I know many body-refining techniques. Even if you only cultivate them to minor completion, you'll become impervious to blades and spears, possess immense strength, and be able to pee dozens of times without issue. One hundred Spirit Stones per set, interested?" Xiaoyaozi said in a tempting tone.

Hearing this, Shi Yue rolled his eyes. He inwardly despised Xiaoyaozi. After helping him for free five times, Xiaoyaozi had started charging.

Especially in the last two days, seeing how much Shi Yue had earned in Spirit Stones, Xiaoyaozi had become tempted and kept nagging him, wanting to make a deal.

There was no way Shi Yue would fall for Xiaoyaozi's tricks. No matter what Xiaoyaozi said, he pretended not to hear.

However, speaking of which, Shi Yue was genuinely tempted by some of the things Xiaoyaozi mentioned, such as the alchemy insights of a Grandmaster Alchemist, the cultivation experiences of a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator, powerful body-refining techniques, methods for setting up high-level formations, and techniques for refining powerful magical treasures.

Shi Yue was currently only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, so he couldn't use these things yet. Furthermore, Xiaoyaozi's prices were too exorbitant, often requiring a hundred Spirit Stones. There was no way Shi Yue would agree.

"Shi kid, think about it carefully. If you cultivate a body-refining technique, your urine production speed will increase significantly. Before, you could pee fifty times an hour. After cultivating a body-refining technique, you could pee a hundred times an hour. Every extra pee is more Spirit Stones!" Xiaoyaozi continued to speak in a tempting tone.

Hearing this, Shi Yue's expression softened. That was true! Every extra pee was more Spirit Stones! There were many people queuing up to seek his treatment now. If all their Spirit Herbs died of the disease, he would lose his business.

After a moment of thought, he asked with a hint of doubt, "Really? A hundred pees an hour? Won't that cause problems for the body?"

"Heh heh, of course, there won't be any problems. I have a Bone Forging Art here that's perfect for you to cultivate. It's relatively simple to cultivate, but it requires some Spirit Grass and Spirit Herbs as auxiliary ingredients. With your current wealth, you can fully afford it. Throw a hundred Spirit Stones over, and I'll tell you the cultivation method," Xiaoyaozi chuckled, speaking word by word.
