Dark Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 8 More Money

"Young Master Zhang, won't you invite me in for a seat?"

The beautiful woman surnamed Hu smiled gently, her tone still soft and gentle, as if she were discussing things in a kind and gentle manner, yet it carried a hint of unspeakable dominance.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qing steeled his resolve and gestured an invitation: "If you don't mind the simplicity of my humble abode, senior, please come in for a chat!"

It is a blessing, not a curse, but a curse that cannot be avoided!

It is said that a thousand years ago, humans and demons were irreconcilable enemies.

Humans hunt demons, skinning and dismembering them to refine elixirs and craft weapons. Demons wreak havoc on the human world, devouring flesh and blood and stealing souls!

But as the black mist enveloped the land, the two races with a blood feud were forced to unite to fight against the terrifying evil.

Now, in cities that resemble isolated islands, humans and demons live together, intermarrying and sharing bloodlines, becoming inseparable.

The situation in Los Angeles was no exception.

The Hehuan Sect is a major sect, and the fox clan, due to its innate charm, has become one of its main branches.

Their power is naturally very strong.

So when the beautiful woman surnamed Hu spoke up, Zhang Qing had no choice but to invite her in, even if it was a bit awkward.

Otherwise, if the other party accuses Zhang Qing of disrespecting his seniors, he will have nowhere to protest.

Furthermore, although the reputation of the Hehuan Sect is hard to describe, it is not the kind of tyrannical force that bullies the weak!

After entering the house, the beautiful woman surnamed Hu gracefully sat down on the stool without any hesitation.

Its large waist and slender figure, with exaggerated curves, are complemented by a large, fluffy tail that emerges from its white dress.

Zhang Qing glanced at it and his mouth went dry!

But he dared not act rashly in the slightest, and stood respectfully to the side, adopting an attitude of listening attentively.

The beautiful woman surnamed Hu was slightly surprised, but didn't seem to mind. She glanced at Zhang Qing, pursed her lips, and smiled lightly, "Young Master Zhang, what have you thought about what I told you last time?"

What happened last time?

Zhang Qing was stunned for a moment, then a memory came to mind.

More than a month ago, this beautiful woman surnamed Hu from the Hehuan Sect visited the door, wanting to buy the original yang essence!

But the predecessor strongly resisted this.

Because in the memories of the previous incarnation, all the female cultivators in the Hehuan Sect were ruthless and greedy, and many male cultivators, indulging in pleasure, not only emptied their storage bags but also became the cultivation furnaces for the other party, ultimately ending up losing both their wealth and their lives.

The original body was a teenager with weak cultivation and a frail physique. Once he boarded the Hehuan Sect's ship, the consequences were truly unpredictable.

The predecessor hadn't reached the point of utter desperation, so it reluctantly refused.

The beautiful woman surnamed Hu wasn't angry; she simply told her predecessor to think it over carefully, and that she would come again in the future.

And now it's happening again!

Thinking of this, Zhang Qing's lips twitched involuntarily, and he said with a wry smile, "Thank you for your kindness, senior, but my constitution is not good, and I'm afraid I cannot bear it..."

"It's okay."

Before Zhang Qing could finish speaking, the beautiful woman surnamed Hu flipped her hand, and a bright red pill appeared in her fair palm.

"This top-grade Vitality-Strengthening Pill is a bonus; it's enough to completely transform your physique!"

Superior-grade Vitality Pill!

Zhang Qing's eye twitched at this.

He simply couldn't understand what he had done to deserve such relentless demands for his virginity from this vixen of the Hehuan Sect!

They even brought out top-grade Qi-boosting pills.

Although male virginity is precious, it depends on the person.

Despite his doubts, Zhang Qing understood that the other party's decision to take out this top-grade Qi-enhancing Pill clearly indicated their determination to obtain it.

There was no room for him to refuse anymore!

Despite his frantic efforts, Zhang Qing couldn't come up with a way to break the deadlock.

Seeing that he remained silent, the beautiful woman surnamed Hu gradually lost patience, and her eyebrows furrowed unconsciously, revealing a hint of displeasure.

"Um?"

She asked calmly, "Young Master Zhang, I've already put it this way, are you still unwilling?"

The next moment, the beautiful fox-woman added, "I heard you've run into some trouble. I still have some influence in this little stone market. If you agree now, what are a few filthy bastards compared to that!"

Zhang Qing was immediately terrified.

This beautiful woman surnamed Hu was undoubtedly referring to Xu Wu and his group; it was unexpected that she was so well-informed.

Today's visit was clearly timed perfectly!

Zhang Qing steeled his resolve: "I can handle this trouble myself!"

A hint of frost appeared on the beautiful woman surnamed Hu's face, and her tone was icy: "So, you still refuse?"

"No!"

Zhang Qing stated firmly: "What I mean is..."

"You need to pay more!"

……

After seeing off the beautiful woman surnamed Hu, Zhang Qing closed the door and couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Circumstances dictate his actions; with no other choice, he had no option but to agree to betray Yuanyang.

But it also secured more benefits for itself.

Now I just hope that I can make up for it when the time comes!

Sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed, Zhang Qing gritted his teeth and swallowed the deposit given by the beautiful woman surnamed Hu.

A top-grade Vitality-Boosting Pill!

The pill, the size of a longan, melted instantly upon entering the mouth, transforming into an incomparably fragrant medicinal liquid that flowed down the throat into the body's core.

In just a moment, a surge of heat rose up and spread out at an astonishing speed.

Zhang Qing quickly activated his inner energy, guiding the powerful medicinal force to seep into his internal organs, muscles, bones, and flesh.

Before long, he felt as if he were in a blazing furnace, his whole body was drenched in sweat, white steam rose from his head, and his skin turned bright red, like a boiled shrimp.

The effects of the superior-grade Vitality Pill were terrifying, far exceeding what Zhang Qing could possibly achieve.

But how could he bear to waste such precious medicinal power? So he desperately circulated the methods of the "Mysterious Origin Technique" and did his best to refine it.

Fortunately, the superior-grade Vitality Pill was potent yet not overpowering, with very few toxic impurities; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

Despite this, Zhang Qing sat on the wooden bed for three days and three nights.

During this time, he did not stop eating and even encountered an evil spirit. He managed to withstand it by sticking three talismans on the door.

Three days later, Zhang Qing finally completely refined the power of the elixir.

He stood up, and his muscles and bones suddenly burst forth with a dense sound like raindrops hitting banana leaves. Strands of scorching pure yang energy rapidly gathered from his internal organs and limbs to his dantian.

Zhang Qing felt that he was in better shape than ever before.

He couldn't help but clench his fist, then opened the data panel.

Physical Strength: 1.2

[Soul: 1.6]

Martial Arts Skill: 0.3

[Spellcast: 0.7]

[Powerful: 0.0]

Everything can be enhanced.

Zhang Qing's [Physical] attribute actually increased dramatically from 0.7 to 1.2, a full 0.5 increase!

And this improvement in attributes is fully reflected in his body.

He has grown taller and developed noticeable muscles; you can feel his strength in every movement.

Although cultivators don't need to be as strong as oxen, having a strong physique is still beneficial for cultivation!
