Pay-to-Win Cultivation: I Get 10,000x Returns

Chapter 264: With That Kind of Status, Brother Will Only Get More Excited

Su Yunmiao shook her head slowly. “I have no clue either. Beyond the Five Domains lies an endless void. I once attempted to cross it from Penglai, flying for three years straight. It remained vast and boundless, yet returning took only a month. This proves that powerful spatial restrictions bind this world.”

“Wang Ye was obsessed with this back then,” she continued. “We theorized that only by reaching the true Soul Formation stage—or higher—and mastering Spatial Laws could one possibly break through.”

Zhang Xian’s heart stirred. “The Drifting King must have guessed your origins, right?”

“I never told him explicitly, but after seeing the war puppet, he surely deduced it. Why do you ask?”

“I’m trying to deduce the cause of his death,” Zhang Xian said thoughtfully. “Think about it. He had reached the peak of this world, invincible and lonely. Knowing the vastness of the universe outside, his curiosity must have been endless.”

He leaned forward. “Could he have encountered an unimaginably terrifying entity while exploring the boundary? A Half-step Soul Formation cultivator might be a god here, but in the place you come from… perhaps he was just a slightly larger ant.”

Su Yunmiao pondered for a long time. Finally, she sighed. “Your speculation is reasonable. But in the end, it is just a conjecture without evidence.”

The urge to open the [Stone Gate of Fate] grew stronger in Zhang Xian’s heart.

However, reason prevailed. Grandmaster Taichu, that old fox, was likely camping the entrance. Zhang Xian weighed his current strength; although he felt powerful, facing an ancient Half-step Soul Formation monster was still a gamble with low odds.

Forget it. I’ll wait for Lele to wake up. With Ancestor Su guarding my back, I’ll go settle the score and open the gate then.

Meanwhile, in another sword chamber on the flying boat.

As soon as the door slid shut, Lin Yinyin stomped her foot. “Master! Why did you drag me out?!”

Li Fuxi looked at her helplessly. “Yinyin, what Ancestor and Zhang Xian are discussing involves deep secrets. Our presence might make Ancestor hesitate to speak freely. You can ask Zhang Xian later.”

Lin Yinyin gave her a look that said, Master, you are too naive.

She leaned in and whispered urgently, “Master! Do you think I care about gossip? I’m worried about us!”

“Did you see her? Ancestor is peerlessly beautiful! I’m afraid Brother might get ideas. He’ll use ‘discussing secrets’ as an excuse to seduce her! If we were there, he’d at least have to behave!”

Li Fuxi frowned. “Yinyin, what nonsense. That is our Supreme Ancestor! Her seniority is revered. How could Zhang Xian be so absurd?”

Lin Yinyin looked at her like she was an idiot. “Master, wake up! Aren’t you the precedent? He didn’t spare his own Master! ‘Ancestor’ implies no psychological burden for him at all.”

Her voice dropped to a conspiratorial whisper. “In fact… with that kind of status… Brother might only get more excited.”

She barely stopped herself from adding, Because Brother is a pervert.

Li Fuxi’s face flushed crimson. “You are being ridiculous!”

“Ah, Master!” Lin Yinyin pressed on. “Do you know Brother’s nature or not?”

“His sugar-coated bullets, his gentle attacks… I’m worried even Ancestor, with her ten thousand years of purity, won’t be able to resist! I bet he’s already giving her heavenly treasures and top-grade Spirit Pills right now!”

“But Ancestor is a Half-step Soul Formation cultivator. How could she care about…” Li Fuxi trailed off, her confidence wavering.

She looked inward. Her Heaven-grade technique, Top Grade artifacts, Dual Heavenly Spirit Roots—which of these didn’t come from Zhang Xian? Ancestor Su… actually didn’t have any of these things.

Seeing her master waver, Lin Yinyin drove the point home. “Brother treats us well, true. But I’m afraid he’ll fall for every beauty he sees. His heart only has so much room. If he shares it with too many people, there will be less for us!”

“Master, do you want to see Brother surrounded by hundreds of women in the future? Do you want to wait in line for a year just to see him once?”

Li Fuxi imagined the scene and paled. She shook her head frantically. “No. I don’t.”

“Exactly!” Lin Yinyin nodded triumphantly. “So we must prepare! Look at his track record. In just half a year, he’s hooked up with five.”

She ticked them off on her fingers. “Long Zhi is already entangled with him. He rescued some wolf girl—probably mistook her for a fox spirit—though she’s gone now. Currently, we have two captives in the brig, plus the super-beauty Ancestor outside. Five! In six months!”

Li Fuxi tried to defend him weakly. “Fellow Daoist Long Zhi has a clear Sword Heart. She only cares about the Dao…”

Lin Yinyin groaned. “Master! Are you stupid? He saved her life! Three times! What girl wouldn’t be moved?”

“Weren’t you all ‘Sword Heart’ and ‘Only the Dao’ back then? And now? Don’t you want to be glued to your lover every day? Ask yourself: what’s more important to you now? The Sword Dao… or Brother?”

Li Fuxi’s cheeks burned. “Both… both are important. As long as he is happy…”

Lin Yinyin’s jaw dropped. It’s over. Master has terminal Love Brain. Incurable.

She decided to switch tactics. “Forget it. Master, you’re unreliable. I’ll have to step up.”

“We’ll split up! I’ll go to Penglai with Ancestor. I’ll investigate this ‘little sister’ of his and see what kind of seductress she is. I’ll also watch Ancestor to see if she has any interest in Brother.”

“What about me?” Li Fuxi asked meekly.

“You stay by Brother’s side. Seize his future.”

Lin Yinyin clenched her small fist. “Master, your task is crucial! You must keep an eye on him for us! The method is simple: keep him in Sage Mode. If he’s drained, he won’t have the energy to chase other flowers.”

“Sage Mode?” Li Fuxi looked confused.

Seeing her master’s innocent eyes, Lin Yinyin leaned close to her ear and whispered instructions.

Li Fuxi listened. Her face turned redder and redder until steam practically shot out of her ears. She waved her hands frantically.

“Yinyin! How… how can you say such vulgar things?! No! Absolutely not!”

Seeing this, Lin Yinyin whipped a jade slip out of her Storage Ring. The cover bore the ancient, bold characters: [Heaven-grade · Joyous Zen New Interpretation].

She shoved it into Li Fuxi’s hands.

“Master, take it! This is the latest Heaven-grade dual cultivation manual! Super effective!”

“As long as you take the initiative to ‘discuss’ this method with Brother, I guarantee he won’t be able to stop—and he won’t even think about other girls!”
