Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 53: Leaving Today as a Third-Layer Qi Cultivator—What Will I Be Upon My Return?

Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Leaving Today as a Third-Layer Qi Cultivator—What Will I Be Upon My Return?

After Qin Gengyun earned seven hundred Spirit Stones, the monthly reward of three Spirit Stones at the Spirit Pill Workshop no longer appealed to him.

It was just because he accidentally disrupted the Pavilion Master and the Grand Alchemist behind him from their deal with the Zhenyang Sect, worrying about being pursued by the Pavilion Master and the Grand Alchemist.

That’s why he temporarily stayed at the Spirit Pill Workshop to probe the situation.

Now that he has investigated thoroughly, the Pavilion Master and the Grand Alchemist will likely not let this matter go easily, and what Qin Gengyun needs to do is to quickly improve his cultivation.

The Pavilion Master is at the Fourth-Layer of Qi Cultivation, as long as he reaches the Fourth-Layer as well, he won’t have to fear the Pavilion Master’s revenge.

After leaving the Spirit Pill Workshop, he will try to suppress the Pill Poison with the Yuqing Pill. If successful in unclogging the Spirit Field, he will go to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion to buy a dozen or so Spirit Marrows that can accelerate cultivation speed and focus on cultivation.

He also needs to intensify dual cultivation with Qiu Zhihe, at least ten times a day, and then add all the obtained cultivation points to [Cultivation].

Reach the Fourth-Layer of Qi Cultivation in the shortest possible time!

Only with a certain level of strength can one have basic protection.

Stepping into the Spirit Pill Workshop, the Pavilion Master didn’t come today, nor did Yang Fengshan. Ever since hearing about his engagement being broken off, he hasn’t been to the Spirit Pill Workshop these days.

Wang Ping and Xu Li had already arrived. When they saw Qin Gengyun, they immediately approached him, speaking in hushed tones:

"Taoist Friend Qin, have you heard? The Pavilion Master’s and the Grand Alchemist’s plan to sell First Grade Pills to the Zhenyang Sect got ruined because they said the Zhenyang Sect found their pill quality lacking!"

"The Pavilion Master and the Grand Alchemist are investigating who exactly messed up their deal, so they won’t be coming back for days!"

Qin Gengyun nodded calmly. Having already decided to leave the Spirit Pill Workshop and focus on improving his cultivation, such news didn’t shock him profoundly.

After chatting for a while, Wang Ping and Xu Li switched to more frivolous topics, with Wang Ping saying:

"Taoist Friend Qin, there’s a Great Master of the Skill of the Bed emerging in Yunling Town!"

"A Great Master of the Skill of the Bed?" Qin Gengyun asked, puzzled.

He’s heard of Golden Core Great Powers and Alchemy Great Powers, but what kind of nonsense is this Great Master of the Skill of the Bed?

Xu Li eagerly continued: "Taoist Friend Qin, haven’t you heard? The courtesan of Yihong House, Ruyi Fairy, had her first night bought for a hefty sum the other day. And after losing her virginity, she announced she’s quitting being a courtesan because the bedroom techniques of that mysterious person were so formidable that she willingly became a slave to that person!"

"This matter has already spread throughout Yihong House, and no one knows what kind of secret bedroom technique could conquer a beauty like Ruyi Fairy!"

"Tell me, if that isn’t a Great Master of the Skill of the Bed, what is it?"

Qin Gengyun was stunned; he didn’t do anything in the courtesan’s room that day.

How did he become a "Great Master of the Skill of the Bed"?

This is just too outrageous!

Not wanting to expose himself, Qin Gengyun pretended to ask curiously: "If the courtesan isn’t receiving guests, can the madam accept that?"

Wang Ping chuckled: "It’s said that Ruyi and Madam have reached a gentleman’s agreement; if that Great Master is willing to take her away, Yihong House won’t stop them. If the Great Master isn’t willing to have her, Ruyi Fairy agrees to receive guests."

"This story has become quite the romantic tale; I really want to see how truly magnificent that Great Master is!"

As they were talking, Yang Fengshan walked into the Spirit Pill Workshop, and everyone greeted him respectfully: "Steward Yang."

Yang Fengshan nodded, and upon seeing Fang Chao coming out from the backyard after cleaning up Pill Poison, he went straight to him with a friendly smile:

"Uncle Fang, I’m still a bit short for the bride price; could you lend me... twenty Spirit Stones?"

He promised Chen Jia the other day; if he gave her two hundred Spirit Stones, she would marry him.

Yang Fengshan planned to borrow some more from people at Spirit Pill Workshop, figuring that these Low-level Medicine Attendants are easily bullied, and even if he uses a bit of force, they wouldn’t dare to say anything.

After all, he is at the Third-Layer of Qi Cultivation; other than the Pavilion Master, he is the highest cultivator at the Spirit Pill Workshop.

Old Man Fang turned pale upon hearing this and repeatedly said:

"Steward Yang, my daughter’s Cultivator Spiritual Institute tuition is due soon; I really can’t lend you any Spirit Stones!"

Yang Fengshan’s smile faded, and his expression turned cold:

"Old Man Fang, I’ve taken care of you in many ways over time, and now when I try to borrow a little bit of Spirit Stones, you’re being so evasive. How ungrateful can you be!"

Everyone else hung their heads in silence, cursing inwardly.

Yang Fengshan is the one who bullies Fang Chao the most, and yet he has the gall to say he’s taken good care of him; it’s utterly shameless.

Fang Chao bowed continuously, cupping his hands in plea: "I’m also very grateful to Steward Yang, but I truly can’t lend you any Spirit Stones, please let me off!"

"Old Man Fang!"

Yang Fengshan abruptly raised his hand and smacked Fang Chao hard on the hunched shoulder:

"Don’t dare reject me when I’m showing lenience; it’s just borrowing some Spirit Stones, I’ll pay them back!"

Old Man Fang was hit so hard he started coughing, eyes already brimming with tears, clutching his chest and pleading incessantly, nearly about to kneel before Yang Fengshan.

"Steward Yang."

From behind Yang Fengshan, a voice suddenly spoke:

"That fifty spirit coins you borrowed from me, when do you plan to return it?"

Yang Fengshan turned around, only to see the usually quiet Qin Gengyun. He sneered: 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"You’re seriously asking me to return fifty spirit coins?"

Qin Gengyun said with surprise: "Didn’t Steward Yang just say you can repay twenty Spirit Stones? Fifty spirit coins aren’t worth delaying, right?"

"Heh."

Yang Fengshan coldly gazed at the suddenly bold Qin Gengyun and scoffed:

"I’ll pay you back if there’s a day you no longer serve at the Spirit Pill Workshop!"

Qin Gengyun said: "Steward Yang, how coincidental! I’m here today to resign, so now you can repay those fifty spirit coins."

"Taoist Friend Qin, you’re quitting?" Wang Ping and Xu Li were shocked, Fang Chao repeatedly said:

"Taoist Friend Qin, please don’t be impulsive and ruin your job."

Qin Gengyun smiled and said: "Thank you, Taoist Friend Fang, I’ve encountered a problem with my cultivation recently and need to rest at home rather than being impulsive."

As he spoke, he used a pre-considered excuse and addressed Yang Fengshan:

"Steward Yang, can you pay me fifty spirit coins now?"

Everyone looked at Yang Fengshan, whose expression shifted, and suddenly he laughed:

"Qin Gengyun, when have I ever borrowed fifty spirit coins from you? Since you’re no longer part of the Spirit Pill Workshop, get out right now, or don’t blame me for being rude!"

Qin Gengyun had anticipated Yang Fengshan’s reaction, ignoring him, he cupped his hands toward Wang Ping, Xu Li, Fang Chao, and the others:

"Taoist Friends, thank you for your care these past six months; farewell, and I wish you a smooth path in your immortal journey!"

After speaking, he turned and left the Spirit Pill Workshop, with Yang Fengshan’s curses continuing behind him, likely still threatening Fang Chao to lend him Spirit Stones.

Qin Gengyun raised his head, gazing at the vermillion-red front door of the Spirit Pill Workshop with calm expression.

Today walking out this door, I’m at the Third-Layer of Qi Cultivation, First Tier Alchemist.

If I step through this door again someday, what level of cultivation will I be at?
