Chapter 12: Gathering Fragrant Yin Qi
" Wahh! Who is that handsome young man?"
" I heard Sister Mu brought him. Could it be, she is finally opening up?"
" Huhuhu, He is certainly a charmer. Didn't you see the phenomenon he created?"contemporary romance
Elder Cai was stunned as she coughed a bit. " Well, Your comprehension… How should I say?"
" Very good?" Long Ming was baffled. " Is that so?"
He felt it would be at least 'Excellent' if not 'One in a thousand-year genius'.
" Well, What is the ruckus here? What exactly happened?"
Long Ming saw a middle-aged woman descending from the sky as she looked at everyone with a cold gaze. Elder Cai looked at her as she shrugged.
" Nothing much. Someone was taking the comprehension test and triggered the Four Seasons Enlightenment."
" What? Four Seasons Enlightenment?" The middle aged woman was surprised as her eyes turned wide.
" Impossible! No one has triggered that phenomenon across thousands of years."
" What? I am not bored enough to play with you, Li Jie." Elder Cai shrugged.
" Hmph, This is simply absurd. As far as I know, only those who have studied our Sect's core teaching can interact with Ancestral Tablet. This youngster managed to interact with it. There must be something fishy there."
Long Ming couldn't help but frown when he heard that woman. He felt like she was deliberately picking on him. Mu Qinglian cupped her fist as she looked at the woman.
" Elder Li, I can assure you that Long Ming didn't study any of our sect's teaching. His comprehension power was enough to resonate with the Ancestral Tablet."
" That's not something you can decide, Qinglian." Elder Li snorted. " I must take this brat for interrogation."
Elder Cai frowned. " Li Jie, Is this what our sect does to those who came to test their aptitude? Hah, Are you still carrying a grudge that your disciples weren't able to receive the inheritance and Qinglian did?"
" Yo-You!!"
Elder Li pointed at Elder Cai as she trembled in rage. Elder Cai stood before Long Ming as she snorted. " As long as I am here, I will see who will take him away."
" Hmph, Good! Very good!"
Elder Li snorted as she turned around and flew away. Long Ming already identified her in his enemy list.
' Old hag, I hope you don't cross me in the future. Else, I will certainly deal with you.' Long Ming mumbled inwardly.
[ Ding! Host escaped the clutches of death! Host gets a Random Skill Box!]
" Anway, Long Ming…You are someone very peculiar person. Your cultivation aptitude is bad. But, your comprehension power is shockingly high. I am in a dilemma. What should I do?"
As Elder Cai sighed, her expression changed as she froze. Closing her eyes for a while,s he opened and smiled at Long Ming.
" Well, It looks like your luck is pretty good. You are going to take another test. If you pass, then you will be admitted to our sect. If not…I can't do much."
Long Ming scratched his head. " Well, I will certainly do my best."
" Very well, You can go now. About the test, you will know soon. As for Mu Qinglian… Sect Master is calling you."
Mu Qinglian was startled. " What? Really? I guess I have to go then."
Long Ming looked at Mu Qinglian. " Well, I think you should go. Ling'er will guide me back."
" Are you sure?"
Long Ming smiled as he nodded. Mu Qinglian gave a look to Long Ming as she took her flying sword and flew away.
Long Ming cupped his fist as he gave a light bow. " I guess everyone enjoyed the scene. But now, I shall be taking my leave. Farewell, Beautiful sisters."
" Kyaa~"
" Farewell, little brother!"
Long Ming grinned as he saw a dozen strings of Fragrant Yin Qi gathering in his body. Although the individual amount is low, Long Ming got the Fragrant Yin Qi in large quantities.
' I guess being a playboy isn't that bad.'
Long Ming giggled. " Ling'er, Will you show me around?"
Ling'er nodded. " Yes, Young Master. Come with me…"
However, as they walked a bit ahead, Long Ming could smell a familiar fragrance as he got hugged from behind.
" Huhuhu, I didn't know I would be lucky enough to meet Little Brother today. Such a fate."
Long Ming shivered as he recognized the voice. It was Meng Zhi.
" Damn it, What is this vixen doing here?' Long Ming grimaced in his heart. However, He plastered a smile on his face.
" I was wondering about such a familiar fragrance. So, It was you, Big Sister Meng. How come you are here? Weren't you managing the Eternal Spring Tower?"
" Well, There was some problem. So, I had to come here." Meng Zhi sighed. Ling'er was startled as she hurriedly backed away a dozen steps.
" Huhuhu, Little Ling'er, Am I that frightening?" Meng Zhi grinned. She was still hugging Long Ming.
'" Um…Big sister Meng Zhi…"
Long Ming sweated as he could feel the two soft mountains pressing on his back. Men Zhi's eyes narrowed as she hugged Long Ming tighter, rubbing her chest on his back.
" What is it, Little Brother? You feeling good?"
" Uh…Big Sister Meng, Can you not tease me?" Long Ming grimaced. It was getting hard to control his erection.
" Hehe, You are so cute." Meng Zhi let him go as she rubbed her lips. " I actually heard what you did. Triggering such Dao Phenonemon, I knew you are extraordinary indeed."
" You are overpraising me, Big Sister." Long Ming chuckled. " Well, But still, Why are you here? What sort of problem are you facing now?"
Meng Zhi sighed. " You know Blissful Heaven Temple?"
Long Ming nodded. " I know them. That Mo Zhu from Blissful Heaven Temple after all."
" Hmph, Those cheap bastards." Meng Zhi snorted. " You know that Eternal Spring Tower is one of the major businesses of Four Season Valley, right? It earns us over 500,000 Spirit Stones per year."
Long Ming nodded as he could understand. Even among cultivators, a place like Eternal Spring Tower is definitely heavily sought after. Which cultivator won't spend money on brothels and entertainment?
" However, Blissful Heaven Temple has been our rival for the past thousand years. Not only they grew up at a tremendous pace, but now, they also trying to take over Four Season Valley's businesses."
" How so?" Long Ming asked.
" As you know, There is still a large difference between the power of sects and families and normal people are pretty huge. Those cheap bastards, they are alluring customers to their brothel in the name of dual cultivation."
" Whoa? That's kinda…sharp business tactics." Long Ming couldn't help but reply.
" Of course, Many men going there because…Why won't they bang disciples of a big sect? Not to mention, the allure of dual cultivation is also attractive." Meng Zhi snorted.
" Not to mention, the dual cultivation is a sham. The customer just feels refreshed afterward and they think their cultivation base increased slightly."
Long Ming nodded. " I understand. So, What are you going to do?"
" What can I do? I was going to ask Sect Master's opinion. Honestly, I don't want to make our sect disciples into whores."
Long Ming's gaze turned strange. Meng Zhi looked at him as she smiled. " Sounds pretty hypocrite, isn't it?"
" Well, First of all, Our Eternal Spring Tower works differently. Only our girl can choose customers, not the other way around. And most of our girls only sell their skills, not their bodies."
" We pick up poor girls and give them food, clothing, shelter, and skill. In return, they work for us. In this world, it is pretty humane, isn't it?"
Long Ming nodded in agreement. In this lawless world where only strength rules, Eternal Spring Tower isn't that bad.
Meng Zhi sighed. " But if things go like this…Our Eternal Spring Tower will suffer. Not to mention, The Imperial Tournament and Flower Boat Festival are just 2 weeks away. I don't know what to do."
Long Ming rubbed his chin as he looked at Meng Zhi. " Well, I understand your situation. Sister Meng, Perhaps… I have some way that would help you."
" Oh, Is that so? Meng Zhi's eyes widened. " I would like to hear Little Brother's opinion."
" Hehe, Not so fast, Big Sis Meng." Long Ming chuckled. " I need to inspect the situation first. After I visit the Eternal Spring Tower tomorrow, I will tell you, alright?"
" Well, I shall be waiting for you then." Meng Zhi smiled. Suddenly, she came close as Long Ming froze. He could feel her hot breath on her ear.
" Mm, I wonder if Little Brother liked my gift last night? I wonder if you did some *inappropriate* things with it?"
However, This time, Long Ming didn't back away.
He chuckled. " Well, Even if I did, I don't think Big Sister Meng will mind, right?"
His tone turned even more amorous.
" I mean…perhaps that's what you are also anticipating."
Meng Zhi was startled when she heard Long Ming. She smacked her lips as a smirk appeared on her face. She gently licked Long Ming's earlobes before letting him go.
" Aww, Little brother is so bad today. You actually bullied your Big Sister. It seems you need some punishment, Ah." Meng Zhi licked her lips seductively.
" But, next time. Don't forget, I will be waiting for you in Eternal Spring Tower."
Long Ming only smiled as he saw Meng Zhi flying away. A burst of pink qi shot out from her body it entered Long Ming's body. He could feel the quantity and the quality, both are very good.
" Well, Ling'er, I think you can come out." Long Ming sighed as he looked at the bush. Ling'er head peeked out as she looked around.
" Elder Meng left? Whew, Young Master. Let's go, I don't want to meet her."
" Whoa? Wai-"
Long Ming tried to say something. But, Ling'er held him as she became a blur. With her explosive speed, she disappeared along with Long Ming.
As Long Ming returned to Mu Qinglian's courtyard, he sat on her bed as he entered a meditative position.
' No one seems to know...But I got many amazing things from the Ancestral Tablet.'
