Chapter 991 Helping Out as a Sideline

The female cultivator known as Qingyun coldly said:
"It better be this way."

The male cultivator lowered his voice and said:
"Qingyun, Lingyu and I will go back and wait for you. We need to get to the bottom of this. Hiding away won't solve anything."

A flash of anger crossed Qingyun's eyes, but it vanished in an instant. She simply nodded, then turned to Yunxi and said respectfully:

"Fairy, since my affairs have taken up your time, I will waive the guide fee for today."

Yunxi neither nodded nor shook her head, but merely glanced indifferently at the man and woman. The two were still eyeing Qingyun covetously. She hated the scheming in the male cultivator's eyes, just like Sheng Yuhong had done before. So she simply waved her sleeve and sent the two away from Mengxia Immortal City.

Qingyun immediately bowed and said:
"Please calm down, fairy."

With no one in the way, Yunxi's expression softened considerably, and she calmly said:

"Lead the way! And tell me about your grudges with this man and woman."

Qingyun was surprised by Yunxi's words and stood there stunned for a moment before stepping forward to lead the way, her eyes lowered as she pondered how to respond.

Yunxi just wanted to have some fun and didn't necessarily want to pry into the other person's private affairs, but she still casually said something:
"That male cultivator has hidden his schemes very well. If you don't want to suffer a loss, you'd better think twice before making a decision, no matter what conditions he proposes."

Qingyun bit her lip after hearing Yunxi's words, and finally said:
“Fairy, that male cultivator is my Daoist partner arranged by my family. The two families want to cooperate in this way, but since the two families made this arrangement, my cultivation has not broken through.”

Fan Zhizhi was about to break through to the Great Ascension stage and enter the Immortal realm, while my cultivation had not yet broken through and would not be of much help to him, so I turned my attention to Lingyu.

Lingyu is a cousin of mine. She has excellent spiritual roots and cultivates very quickly. She is about to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm. However, if I agree to her proposal to change my Daoist partner, it will damage the status of our lineage.

But if I agreed, I would be reluctant to give up. So I decided to come to Mengxia City as a guide to avoid them for a while. I would go back when I thought things through. I just didn't expect the two of them to be so impatient and come chasing after me directly.

After hearing this, Yunxi asked directly:

"According to you, this is a way for families to form an alliance. Whether you agree or not is irrelevant. Fan Zhizhi can explain it directly to the family. Why does he need to come to you?"

Qingyun sighed and said:

“Fan Zhizhi still has a sense of shame and doesn’t want bad rumors to spread, so he wants me to take the initiative to change my partner so that he can take the opportunity to say that he is in love with Lingyu. He believes that both families will go along with the matter and resolve it smoothly. The only one who will be criticized is me.”

"Tsk, is it because you've hit a bottleneck that you haven't broken through? Probably not! Perhaps you subconsciously sense that breaking through your cultivation level would be more disadvantageous for you, but you don't want to become a pawn of the family, nor do you want to implicate your relatives, so you're so conflicted."

Yunxi's words stunned Qingyun, but she still subconsciously replied:

"What the fairy said may be true, and I may not even have realized it myself."

Yunxi continued to ask:

What is your relationship with Lingyu?

Qingyun just gave a bitter smile:
"She now sees me as an obstacle to her future, and our relationship is like fire and water."

Yunxi then said meaningfully:
"Since that's the case, then you should grant her wish, but you must make it clear to her that no matter what happens between the two families in the future, she must bear the consequences of her choices."

Qingyun didn't understand the deeper meaning behind Yunxi's words, but she still nodded subconsciously. At this moment, the two of them arrived at the foot of a desolate mountain in Mengxia Immortal City. There was only one cave dwelling there, and the words "Tribulation Crossing Place" were engraved on the stone tablet outside the cave dwelling, simple and clear.

"Fairy, this is the place specifically for those who undergo tribulation."

"I understand. Thank you for your hard work today."

Yunxi nodded slightly, then tossed a vial of potion to Qingyun:
"This is your reward for guiding me today."

He secretly transmitted his voice:

"After the marriage is dissolved, find a secluded place to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm. My potion can help you break through to the Earth Immortal Realm. Stay away from Fan Zhizhi in the future; he won't last long."

Yunxi didn't say much more, but she believed Qingyun would understand. She didn't know the situation of the Fan family, but Fan Zhizhi was practicing a wicked art of absorbing yin to replenish yang, and his aura was extremely turbid.

She used Li Li's innate supernatural power to see everything clearly, but the other party used a very powerful concealment treasure to prevent the immortal from noticing.

Therefore, she was more inclined to believe that Qingyun must have sensed something, which was why she was reluctant to break through and had to temporarily hide in Mengxia Immortal City. Unfortunately, the other party was determined to abandon her, a partner who had no use to her, which led to the previous incident.

Yunxi felt that Qingyun had a good character. As a fellow female cultivator, she was naturally happy to help her. Besides, since Qingyun had been her guide for a day, it was only reasonable for her to offer her compensation.

Qingyun instinctively caught the vial of medicine. After hearing the fairy's telepathic message, her pupils contracted, and she instinctively put the medicine into her storage ring. She respectfully bowed to the fairy's back before disappearing into the shadows. She thought she knew what to do next.

When Yunxi stepped into the cave where she was undergoing tribulation, she saw an old man playing chess with her. Upon noticing someone enter, the old man slowly said:

"Does the fairy wish to undergo tribulation herself, or make a reservation for someone else? Our tribulation peaks here are of three grades: upper, middle, and lower, with defense strength ranging from low to high. For a fee of one immortal stone, there are secluded caves to choose from after the tribulation, each equipped with a Yuan-gathering array."

After finishing speaking in one breath, the other person looked at Yunxi and waited for her reply.

"My spirit pet is about to undergo tribulation. I'll choose a peak with superior defenses. As for the secluded cave, we'll decide based on the situation after she successfully completes the tribulation."

Upon hearing Yunxi's words, the old man immediately put on a smile:
"So it's the fairy's beloved pet undergoing tribulation. We must be careful. The cost of undergoing tribulation on a top-tier peak is 100,000 high-grade immortal stones per attempt. The peak comes with three layers of defense. If the three layers of defense are not enough to withstand the lightning tribulation, the other six layers of defense can be activated. However, each layer of defense will cost an additional 200,000 high-grade immortal stones. Does the fairy understand?"

"clear."

Yunxi tossed the other party a storage bag containing exactly 100,000 high-grade immortal stones.

The old man scanned the storage bag with his divine sense, collected the immortal stones, and handed it back to Yun Xi along with a purple-copper token.

"Fairy, this token will guide you to the corresponding peak and unlock the defenses of the Tribulation Crossing Peak. Keep it safe, and return here when you leave."

Yunxi nodded to indicate that she understood, then raised her hand to absorb the purple copper token into her hand, turned around and left the cave, flashing to the peak indicated by the token.

The old man then slowly returned to the chessboard, not forgetting to complain:
"I wonder which family's favored junior is choosing the peak with the highest defense level for their immortal beast's tribulation. What a waste of immortal stones."

　My darlings, I'm sorry, I had a headache today and stayed in bed all day. I only just got up to write this now. Here's one chapter for now, there will be more later. If you can't wait, you can read it tomorrow morning! Thank you all for your patience and support!
