Shen Qingyuan: I Really Want to Lock Chuan'er Up on Supreme Mystery Peak
The first thing Qin Chuan did upon returning to his cave abode was not tend to his injuries, but open his palm. A wisp of the Will of the Heavenly Dao appeared in it, though it was much thinner and shorter than the one he had obtained last time.
I got this wisp of the Will of the Heavenly Dao the moment I obtained the storage bag. Snatching opportunities from the protagonist's party or changing the plot can get me the Will of the Heavenly Dao too. Not bad at all.
Qin Chuan drew the wisp of the Will of the Heavenly Dao back into his body and began thinking about Gu Hao again. He also carefully reviewed the plot and finally found Gu Hao's part in it.
Gu Hao counts as a minor boss. One of Gu Xiran's simps in the Wealth and Peace Merchant Guild is Gu Hao's rival.
The Wealth and Peace Merchant Guild helps Gu Xiran a great deal and is a major source of support for her. I can befriend Gu Hao and use him against Gu Xiran's simp.
This female-oriented novel is really interesting. Every male supporting character has an enemy or a rival, and then gets rid of them with the heroine's help.
No, that's not right. It's not the heroine's help, but the help of her simps.
That makes things really convenient for me. I don't even have to look for allies. I just have to give the vicious villains a little help, and they'll go after the heroine's simps of their own accord. I don't even have to pay them. They're worked harder than oxen and horses.
I don't know what Gu Hao wants with me either. I'll deal with whatever comes my way when the time comes.
And then there's Jin Pang. I hope he remembers my warning and has his grandfather guard him while he refines the pill furnace. Otherwise, he might be in danger.
Qin Chuan remembered that, in the plot, Xie An had given that pill furnace to Gu Xiran. Inside the furnace was the soul of a thousand-year-old bastard.
He figured that, given how that little bastard the Heavenly Dao usually operated, an old bastard like that would be a good helper if he followed the heroine. But if he encountered a passerby like Jin Pang, he would most likely possess Jin Pang's body.
Still, the Heavenly Dao had to play by the rules. As long as Jin Pang remembered his warning, with Jin Feng, an alchemist at the peak of the Body Integration stage, there, that thousand-year-old bastard probably wouldn't be able to play any tricks on him.
After going over all these matters in his head, Qin Chuan began regulating his breathing and healing his injuries. Although his injuries weren't too serious and his arm injury had been an act, he had to keep himself in peak condition for the array competition nine days later.
Using the Origin Returning Pill would be too wasteful. There's still time, so I'll heal myself. Qin Chuan sat down and began meditating to heal his injuries. Just as he entered a meditative state, Shen Qingyuan entered his cave abode and slowly walked over to him.
Because his clothes were dirty, he was wearing only shorts, with nothing on his upper body. A few drops of sweat still glistened on his muscular chest.
Shen Qingyuan couldn't look away from the sight. Just as her hand was about to touch Qin Chuan's chest, she quickly drew it back.
Her greedy gaze fell on Qin Chuan, and a thought rose in her heart: she could lock Qin Chuan on Supreme Mystery Peak forever. That way, they could be together forever, and Qin Chuan wouldn't have to get hurt.
Ever since she had developed different feelings for Qin Chuan, she had wanted him all to herself and wanted to be with him forever.
But she knew how much Qin Chuan wanted to grow stronger, and knew he had ideals and ambitions, so she had always let him go out.
After a long while, reason overcame the mad thought in her heart. She drew her gaze away from Qin Chuan and reminded herself once again that she and Qin Chuan were only master and disciple.
Qin Chuan was regulating his breathing and recovering, while Shen Qingyuan stood beside him, keeping him company. With her cultivation, there was no way Qin Chuan could detect her.
Early the next morning, Shen Qingyuan waited until she was sure Qin Chuan's injuries were mostly healed before leisurely leaving. Qin Chuan, still healing, had no idea that because he had taken off his clothes for a moment's convenience, he had nearly been locked up on Supreme Mystery Peak as Shen Qingyuan's personal male consort. But he might have been even happier if he had known.
During the time the two spent healing in the cave abode, the Pure Void Sect was bustling with activity. Everywhere, people were discussing how Pei Xuan and Xie An had become old eunuchs, neither man nor woman, and how their dicks had been eaten by a dog.
The shocking incident overshadowed Qin Chuan defeating Pei Xuan and taking first place in the martial competition, becoming the hottest topic in the Pure Void Sect. Now, the first thing Pure Void Sect disciples said when they met was, "Did you hear about that? The thing with Pei Xuan and Xie An."
Xie An's cry of "My balls!" was still widely repeated, as were Jin Pang's "Has anyone seen Xie An's balls?" and Wang Sang's "Do you want me to make my dog spit the dick out and give it back to you?"
Besides that, the Pure Void Sect's male cultivators had developed a lingering fear of dogs. After all, any man who saw a dog eat two men's dicks one after the other would be scarred by the sight of a dog.
Pei Xuan and Xie An, the two people involved, remained holed up in their cave abodes, too afraid to go out. Yun Yao had a stalk of spiritual medicine that could regrow severed limbs, and of course he gave it to Pei Xuan, the eldest disciple in whom he had placed great hopes. Xie An could only be left to suffer.
Yun Yao's conduct made Xie An dissatisfied with him, but things had come to this, and there was nothing he could do. He could only keep urging the Xiao Family to send him spiritual medicine that could regrow severed limbs.
Gu Xiran did go out once, only to be driven back into hiding on Supreme Void Peak by all the people who came up to question her.
Yun Yao, however, had no choice but to go out. As the sect master of the Pure Void Sect, he had to preside over the upcoming pill, artifact, and array competitions.
When he appeared on the day of the pill competition, everyone's gazes drifted toward him, then toward his lower body, as if they were sizing him up to see whether, like Xie An and Pei Xuan, he too lacked... the root of a man.
The Grand Elder also had to attend the pill competition. As soon as he sat down, he began needling Yun Yao. "Sect Master Yun, I've already sent the cultivation technique to Supreme Void Peak. I wonder if your two beloved disciples have practiced it."
"I also have pills suited to your two beloved disciples' current condition, Sect Master Yun. Don't refuse to use them because of certain reasons." Jin Feng was the peak master of Pill Peak and was taking the lead in the pill competition, so he was naturally there as well.
The Grand Elder was mocking Yun Yao, and since Jin Feng was also at odds with Yun Yao, he naturally had to join in.
All Yun Yao could do was keep a cold expression and pretend he couldn't hear them, but the sneers on the faces around him and the gazes that kept drifting his way made him unable to sit still.
The moment Jin Pang took first place in the pill competition, Yun Yao left the venue in a sorry state. For one thing, he truly couldn't bear those gazes any longer; for another, Jin Pang taking first place in the pill competition had also angered him.
He had specially prepared the pill furnace awarded for first place in the pill competition for Gu Xiran. It was said to be the life-bound pill furnace of an alchemy grandmaster, and he had only been waiting for Xie An to take first place so he could give it to Gu Xiran.
Unfortunately, Xie An was useless. He had been injured by Qin Chuan and Jin Pang working together in the secret realm, then lost his precious thing to someone's underhanded scheme during the martial competition, leaving him completely unable to take part in the pill competition.
Jin Pang, Zhang Daoyuan, Jin Feng, Qin Chuan. Yun Yao silently recited those names as he left, already intent on killing them.
But when he silently recited Qin Chuan's name, he thought of Shen Qingyuan. Naturally, he also knew about Shen Qingyuan's Glazed Immaculate Physique, and greed appeared in his eyes.
Sooner or later, I'll refine that Shen Qingyuan and make her a stepping stone on my path of cultivation.
After Yun Yao left, the Grand Elder announced Jin Pang's victory and gave him the pill furnace. With that, the pill competition came to a successful close.
