The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 424 The Trading Hub

Fairy Anyang made a last attempt to persuade Ji Yuan not to be addicted to the masculine profound pills, "My lord. You ought to cultivate your heart and you should not pursue pleasures."

Ji Yuan disagreed immediately. "I need it to satisfy all my beloveds. How can you say that I am pursuing pleasure? Xiang Li, do you agree or not?"

"Of course not." Xiang Li giggled.

"See! Even Xiang Li agrees with me. Haha." Ji Yuan laughed.

Fairy Anyang muttered softly, "It is completely pointless to ask Xiang Li. Her answers are too predictable."

Ji Yuan laughed, "I disagree. Sometimes I don't even know what Xiang Li will say to me. Haha."

Xiang Li nodded with soft giggles, "I agree with Big Brother on this."

Fairy Anyang: …

I need to save this silly lord of mine from self-destruction…

So she said firmly, "My lord, do not let yourself be addicted to the masculine profound pills. In which cultivation story is there a MC that is addicted to drugs like you? Only a loser MC will get addicted to drugs."

Ji Yuan laughed it off, "The MCs in the cultivation stories are all too goody good. Even if they have a harem, they act like they are saints. I am the REAL MC. Muhahaha…"

"You need to have faith in true love." Fairy Anyang said firmly. "Using unorthodox means like this to boost your masculine belittle the maidens, especially to Maiden Yun Chi. She likes you not because of your masculine performance but because of your good virtues. Therefore you must believe in true love."

Ji Yuan pondered for a while before he had a sudden enlightenment, "That is right. My true love applies equally to all my beloveds. Therefore I must get enough of the masculine profound pills to satisfy all of them."

Xiang Li nodded excitingly, "Big Brother, well said!"

Fairy Anyang: …

Fairy Anyang: …

Fairy Anyang: …

I give up…

My lord, you are too corrupted…

But she decided to try again.

After all, she refused to believe that she cannot break the corruption that was holding Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan has a good soul and he is more righteous than most of the self-righteous cultivators.

"My lord, between true love and masculine profound pills, you can only choose one." Fairy Anyang told him. "Please make a choice."

Ji Yuan frowned, "My beloved Anyang, let me tell you a little story first. A mother says to her child, between a small apple and a big apple, which one do you want?"

"The child answers, he wants the big apple."

"But the mother tells him, he should be polite and chooses the small apple. It is because you have to be polite and chooses the small apple. My Beloved Anyang, do you agree with that? So which one will you choose?"

Fairy Anyang answered immediately, "The mother is right it is polite to choose the small apple. Never be too greedy. I will also choose the small apple."

Then Ji Yuan turned to say to Xiang Li, "My Beloved Xiang Li, which one will you choose? The big apple or the small apple?"

Xiang Li giggled, "Of course I will choose the big apple?"

Ji Yuan grinned and asked, "Why?"

Xiang Li pondered for a while before answering, "I will choose the big apple of course. Why choose the small apple when I can choose the big apple? Xiang Li of course wants the bigger apple."

Ji Yuan laughed aloud, "Hahaha. Xiang Li, you are very honest with your feeling. Between fake politeness and true honesty, you have chosen to be honest with your feelings."

Xiang Li giggled, "I am always honest."

Even the Great Beyond Goddess who was secretly listening to their conversations was praising Xiang Li in secret, "I will pick the big apple as well."

Xiang Li asked Ji Yuan, "So Big Brother you will pick the big apple as well?"

Ji Yuan frowned all of a sudden, "I've thought you understand me the most. But it seems that I am wrong. Why pick the big apple only? I want both the small and big apple. Between true love and masculine profound pills, I want both at the same time. This is called politeness and honesty at the same time. Muhahaha…"

Fairy Anyang, Xiang Li, Great Beyond Goddess: …

Fairy Anyang was so speechless that she muttered wordlessly: I give up on him completely…

The Great Beyond Goddess was so enraged that she started to mouth profanities, "How dare you make sport out of me. Screw you Ji Yuan!"

All of a sudden Ji Yuan felt a sudden jolt in his body that shook him to the very core.

He was so startled that he muttered, "What is going on with my body? Am I injured? Or is it because of the consequences of using my immortal spirit animus?"

He quickly circulated his profound energies throughout his body in order to ensure that he was alright but he could not find anything wrong with his body.

"What is going on?" He muttered weakly. "Or is it because someone is cursing me?"

But since he could not find anything wrong with his body, he continued on his way and soon he found the trading hub that Senior Mo Bei had told him about.

The trading hub was filled with thousands of cultivators and it was in a huge hall that can accommodate thousands of cultivators without any problem.

So he was soon walking around to look for the masculine profound pills and was asking around for it.

But he soon got a shock of his life.

"1 million high grade spirit stones?! What the heck?! This is merely a low level masculine profound pill!"

A disgruntled cultivator who was selling it answered, "Although it is a low level profound pill but you can't find it in the Celestial Realm nowadays and the secrets of concocting it has been lost. This is the last one already. Yesterday it is 900k high grade spirit stones. If you don't want it, someone will want it."

Ji Yuan muttered weakly, "Let me think about it first…"

An excited cultivator had suddenly interrupted Ji Yuan and the disgruntled cultivator, "You have a masculine profound pill?! Here is a one million high grade spirit stones! Quick, give it to me!"

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

"I didn't say that I didn't want. It is just that I don't have so many high grade spirit stones with me at the moment…"

But the disgruntled cultivator ignored Ji Yuan and quickly sold it to the excited cultivator.

Ji Yuan cursed them weakly as he continued his way around the trading hub. "I don't believe that no one is selling a masculine profound pill. This is rip-off price and I am not falling for it…"

"What?!"

"1.2mil high grade spirit stones for one masculine profound pill?!"

"1.3mil?"

"1.5mil?!"

"What the heck?!"

"Are these cultivators crazy?"

"Are they doing bang, bang in the Outer Pangu Citadel?!"

Ji Yuan was actually right; many of the cultivators in the Outer Pangu Citadel are actually trying to impress the numerous saintesses around.

"These low-ball drug addicts." Ji Yuan cursed them venomously.

As he looked around the trading hub, he was getting desperate.

Fairy Anyang said bitterly to him, "My lord, you have no high grade spirit stones. There is no point looking around."

Ji Yuan rolled his eyes, "You will never know unless you've searched. Maybe there is a fool around. You will never know."

Fairy Anyang: ...

Suddenly Xiang Li was asking Ji Yuan, with a panic look "Big Brother, so how? We can't pleasure Maiden Yun Chi anymore if we can't find more of the masculine profound pills."

Ji Yuan was getting panicky as well but he was soon smiling, "We can always borrow the high grade spirit stones from Feiyue and Sisi. They are rich…"

But he was soon saying, "They will surely get suspicious…"

"Haha…" He was grinning all of a sudden. "I seem to remember that Senior Mo Bei has one masculine profound pill. Maybe we can get it from him instead."

"How?" Xiang Li asked curiously. "I don't think he will give it to you."

Ji Yuan began to rub his chin, "Of course we are going to trick him for it."

Fairy Anyang: …

He is desperate…
