Chapter 101 Feigning Weakness to Defeat Ruan Fan

Yu Qingtan "fearfully" lay on the jittery Spirit Crane, saying, "Elder Martial Uncle, why are you here? What do you want to do?"

Ruan Fan wore a sleazy and lascivious smile on his face as he said, "Hehe, of course, I came here to take you back for practicing techniques!"

After speaking, his sword flew forward.

"Don't come over here! Ahhh~"

Under the crushing presence of Ruan Fan's late Foundation Establishment stage aura, the Spirit Crane's eyes rolled back, and it fainted, dropping straight down.

Higher-order creatures always exert a certain oppression on lower-order beings, the so-called deterrent force, and some methods can enhance this deterrent, creating "momentum."

This deterrent force is easy to retract but not easy to form into "momentum."

Yu Qingtan screamed "in fear."

"Haha, don't be afraid, your Elder Martial Uncle is here to save you!"

Ruan Fan laughed.

He withdrew his spiritual power's pressure, sped up with a shake, and rushed to Yu Qingtan's side, his large hands reaching to embrace her slender waist.

At the same time, he didn't forget to throw out a net-shaped magic artifact, catching the Spirit Crane.

As Ruan Fan drew close, the fear on Yu Qingtan's face had already disappeared, replaced by a sneering cold smile.

She violently kicked out with her right leg, aiming straight for Ruan Fan's groin.

"Aoww~"

Accompanied by the sound of cracking eggs, Ruan Fan let out a pained groan.

He, confident in his profound cultivation, had not put up any defense.

And Yu Qingtan, who had been honing her combat skills in the Yunhua Mountain Range, had long since developed the habit of striking at weak points.

With the strength and power of her body-refined Foundation Establishment physique, that kick had severely crippled Ruan Fan.

As for dignity, what need did she, a weak woman, have for dignity?

Besides, there was no one else to see.

As she kicked, Yu Qingtan had already unleashed a Decay and Flourish Technique attack and three condensed Water Blade attacks.

Ruan Fan clearly lacked combat experience; after being kicked, he was too preoccupied with his painful howls to defend or counterattack.

He was directly hit by the Decay and Flourish Technique and three Water Blades.

But he was still a late Foundation Establishment cultivator after all; the Decay and Flourish Technique only turned his hair white, and even though the three Water Blades pierced his chest, he did not fall.

But his aura had declined immensely, and he couldn't even manage to stay on his sword, falling downward.

"Ahh~"

He screamed in agony, mixed with fear.

Yu Qingtan flew forward on her sword, sealed his dantian with a finger, and then knocked him unconscious with a slap to the back of his neck.

She took his Storage Bag and then placed it into the System Space.

She then sped up to catch the unconscious Spirit Crane, also placing it into the System Space.

Immediately after, she sped away on her sword.

The entire process was as smooth as flowing water, done in one go.

Underneath an unassuming hillside, Yu Qingtan dumped out the contents of Ruan Fan's Storage Bag, which had been purified with a Purification Spell.

As usual, she cast a Purification Spell first.

Then she began to take stock.

The most abundant items were surprisingly a pile of women's dresses.

There were even many bras, stockings, and hip-hugging skirts.

"Pah~ Old lecher!"

Yu Qingtan spat disdainfully and began to look at the valuable items.

One hundred ten thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, one hundred fifty Medium Grade Spirit Stones.

One high-quality Spiritual Artifact golden spear called the Purple-Gold Spear, one high-quality Spiritual Artifact armor called Golden Light Armor.

One high-quality Spiritual Artifact level Spirit Boat named Cloudflow Boat.

Fifteen drops of Second Stage Spirit Dew.

Three bottles of Second Stage Purple Spirit Pills.

One Charm Treasure inscribed with the pattern of a small blue sword.

A set of Second Stage, Medium Grade Spirit Gathering Array.

There were also some miscellaneous items that Yu Qingtan didn't need.

"As expected of someone living off others, quite rich indeed," she mused.

Yu Qingtan happily stored these belongings in her System Space.

As for Ruan Fan, she had avoided his vitals, so he wasn't going to die immediately.

The last time she killed the senior Daoist, even Golden Core Cultivators left behind countermeasures.

The Qis, a Foundation Establishment family, even possessed Secret Techniques like the Blood Tracking Technique.

Yan Xi had mentioned there were three Golden Core Cultivators in her family; directly slaughtering her father risked them having some means to trace back to her.

It was better to find an opportunity later to toss him into the den of Demonic Beasts to end this once and for all.

With the Spirit Stones sponsored by Ruan Fan and the advance payment from Li Xingruo, Yu Qingtan employed "Love's Tribute."

She replicated the Second Stage Great Success Blood Control Technique of Fang Ling after Foundation Establishment, the Small Success Second Stage Array Breaking Talisman drawing skills of Fu Nian, and some Perfected First Stage Spells.

Only a little over thirty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones were left.

However, Yu Qingtan wasn't distressed; Spirit Stones were meant to be spent.

She opened the system panel.

[Cultivation Level: Mid-stage Foundation Establishment 500/50000, Body Refinement Foundation Establishment initial stage 20/20000]

[Cultivation Technique: Greenwave Technique, Ice Skin Jade Bone Art]

[Spell: Second Stage Purification Spell, Water Escape Technique, Water Blade Technique Perfected, Second Stage Water Curtain Technique, Object Controlling Technique, Breath-Concealing Technique, Decay and Flourish Technique, Blood Control Technique Great Success, Second Stage Soul Cleansing Technique Beginner, Blue Clear Spiritual Pupil Technique Small Success, First Stage Wood Escape Technique and other First Stage Spells Perfected, Illusion Dance Technique Small Success]

[Charm Points: 3124]

[Affection Value: 79]

Yu Qingtan then refined Ruan Fan's High Grade Spiritual Artifacts: Purple-Gold Spear, Golden Light Armor, Cloudflow Boat, and a green small sword Charm Treasure.

Armed with these, as long as she didn't encounter an enemy in the Golden Core Stage, Yu Qingtan was confident she could handle them.

After tidying up, Yu Qingtan disguised herself as a female Loose Cultivator and set off straight for Tianxiang Immortal City on her sword.

An hour later, Yu Qingtan arrived at Tianxiang Immortal City.

Tianxiang Immortal City, as its name suggests, was closely related to Tianxiang Valley.

In fact, Tianxiang Immortal City was the closest Immortal City to Tianxiang Valley and had always been under its control, with two Golden Core Cultivators of Tianxiang Valley stationed there all year round.

The area of Tianxiang Immortal City was about three times that of Suichuan Immortal City, inhabited by about three million cultivators.

Additionally, unlike the remote Suichuan Immortal City, Tianxiang Immortal City was near the bustling Lan River Plain, the most flourishing area of cultivation in the Southeast Region, and was not far from the Lan River, the largest river in the Southeast Region, making it exceedingly prosperous.

Every year, the population of transient cultivators was also in the hundreds of thousands.

Approaching Tianxiang Immortal City, one could see some low-lying building clusters from afar.

That was the city's outer slum area, where nearly a million Loose Cultivators lived.

Yu Qingtan went directly to the city gate on her sword.

After paying ten Spirit Stones, she, a Foundation Establishment senior, was respectfully issued an unlimited temporary residency jade token for the Immortal City.

Not going to lie, being a senior felt pretty good.

Then, Yu Qingtan started wandering around Tianxiang Immortal City.

Compared to Suichuan Immortal City, Tianxiang Immortal City's greenery was very well-done, and there were more smiles on the faces of the cultivators on the streets.

Yu Qingtan saw familiar places like the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion, Spirit Clothing Pavilion, Zhi Lan Pavilion, and the Arena.

There was even a Tianxiang Pavilion.

Brothels, tea houses, pubs, magic artifact shops, talismans, and elixirs were the main industries operated by Tianxiang Valley.

It's just that Suichuan Immortal City was remote, and Tianxiang Valley mainly operated Tianxiang Pavilion there.

Yu Qingtan, under the identity of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, liquidated a batch of unused but unmarked spoils of war at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, then purchased materials for refining magic artifact clothing, basic talisman drawing skills, talisman pens, and talisman paper, etc.

It was a pity that there was neither Second Stage Spirit Dew nor Second Stage Wasteland Crystal for sale.

Leaving Hundred Treasures Pavilion, Yu Qingtan arrived at a shop named Heavenly Secret Tower.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you require?"

A white-bearded Foundation Establishment senior Daoist received Yu Qingtan in what seemed to be a VIP room.

"I need a detailed dossier on the Extreme Path Demon Sect and True Monarch Geduo of the Extreme Path Demon Sect, as well as a copy of the Pride of the Heavens List and the Hundred Flowers List," she asked.
