Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

As Yun Ping spoke, he once again used his divine sense to lock onto Ye Yuchan's aura.

He gazed into the distance, his eyes sweeping over countless arenas and through crowds, finally settling on an arena directly in front of the palace, almost in the very center.

He could see Ye Yuchan clearly; this girl still hadn't finished fighting?

Yunping once asserted that, in terms of talent, even the eldest son of the Emperor Pavilion in Yuntian Academy might not be qualified to be compared with Ye Yuchan. This girl's talent is definitely at the god level, probably even comparable to those old monsters from the ancient era.

Moreover, she is already at the Spirit Platform stage, at the top of the food chain of near-level cultivators. Even if she were to encounter a peak Spirit Platform cultivator, she shouldn't be in a difficult situation.

Black Flame Arrow, Lesser Heavenly Thunder Body, Thousand Blade Technique, Dark Heart, Magic Weapon Black Rain.

Given her terrifying talent for creating her own martial arts techniques, she shouldn't still be struggling to overcome this challenge.

Filled with doubt, Yunping precisely positioned his divine sense on the martial arts arena where Ye Yuchan was, looking down at her and her opponent from a god-like perspective.

As it turned out, once Yunping looked, he immediately understood why Ye Yuchan hadn't been able to defeat her opponent.

"I refuse to accept this!! Let's go again!"

The young man with lush green hair, as verdant as the Hulunbuir Grassland, stretched his neck, his face flushed, and glared angrily at Ye Yuchan. At the same time, in front of everyone, he began to untie his corset.

This was certainly not some kind of thuggish act. He angrily threw the pure gold and red silk snakeskin belt in front of Ye Yuchan, held the jade sword in both hands, and assumed an offensive stance, his spiritual energy surging rapidly.

Ye Yuchan chuckled as she picked up the waistband from the floor and tossed it into her storage ring.

"A belt worth 300,000 gold coins... Hmm, transaction successful!"

After speaking, Ye Yuchan silently put away the black magic weapon in her hand, opened her hands, and smiled at the young man.

"Alright, I'll keep my promise. As long as you give me the belt, I won't fight you without using any magical weapons."

"Now, you can attack."

She beckoned to the young man with her finger, and his anger flared up again!

He disregarded everything else and charged forward at full speed, quickly unleashing the swordsmanship he had long mastered.

However, Ye Yuchan was already tired of this sword technique. With her feet planted on lightning and her Little Heavenly Thunder Body enhanced, her figure was like an elusive bolt of lightning, and the young man's sword could not touch her at all.

A silver-haired girl dressed in a black and white maid outfit yawned, dodging around listlessly, and at the same time couldn't help but blurt out:

"Young Master, why do you keep using the same sword technique? Don't you have anything else?"

"You haven't been winning all this time just by suppressing your cultivation level, have you?"

"you!"

The young man glared angrily at Ye Yuchan, then suddenly stopped his attack and shouted, "How dare you question my family's swordsmanship!? What you are doing..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Yuchan swiftly kicked his wrist.

The young man cried out in pain, and the jade sword was kicked into the air, circling several times before embedding itself in the ground right next to Ye Yuchan.

She silently drew her sword, examined it from head to toe, and murmured.

"This sword looks pretty good, how much does it cost...?"

A flicker of panic crossed the young man's eyes, and he immediately shouted, "This is my family heirloom sword! I will never give it to you! Give it back to me!"

"Oh...it's a family heirloom, then this thing must be quite precious."

Ye Yuchan smiled.

Under the stunned gaze of the young man, Ye Yuchan simply tossed the priceless sword back.

—As if this thing couldn't compare to that 300,000 yuan corset at all.

Before the young man could say anything, Ye Yuchan said something else.

"So, do you still want to fight? If you do, it's the same old deal. This time, you give me a treasure worth around 400,000 gold coins, and I won't fight you without using my right hand. How about it?"

The young man was enraged again. He took out a jade ring from his storage ring and threw it to Ye Yuchan.

"I'll see today if you can defeat me even with only one hand!!"

"Okay, thank you."

Ye Yuchan accepted the jade ring with a smile, just like she was receiving a client, displaying a commercial smile.

He then put his right hand behind his back and subtly hooked his left index finger.

"Come on, try attacking again."

"Humph!"

The young man snorted coldly, then brandished his jade sword and once again defiantly slashed at Ye Yuchan.

Yunping saw the whole process clearly from God's perspective, and he finally understood why Ye Yuchan, who should have been the quickest and easiest to finish the battle, was still in the fighting arena.

So this girl is obsessed with money and just happened to run into a brainless rich bastard!

And he's a real tycoon who doesn't need the money at all.

Ye Yuchan couldn't tell, but Yun Ping could—the young man's entire outfit was worth at least tens of millions of gold coins, and his jade ring, worth over 400,000 gold coins, was priceless. The fact that he could throw it out so casually showed that the young man's family was definitely very wealthy.

The little money Ye Yuchan managed to scrape together probably wouldn't even be enough for someone's monthly allowance.

—The divine sense gradually receded.

Yunping sighed silently.

Seeing this, Yuan'er immediately asked with concern, "How is it, Teacher? Has something happened to Junior Sister Yu Chan?"

“Her cultivation level should have reached the ceiling of the near-level, which shouldn’t be the case,” Fan Luokui calmly analyzed. “Could something have really happened?”

Both of their gazes simultaneously fell upon Yunping.

Yunping's lips twitched twice as he pondered how to describe the situation with Ye Yuchan.

In the end, he only said one sentence.

"Yu Chan is fine. Right now, she's working as a sparring partner to earn some extra money."

113. Doubt

After a relentless sparring session, the young man finally couldn't bear the humiliation any longer. After having his family heirloom sword kicked away for the fifth time and being told that he didn't have enough pocket money, he reluctantly and unwillingly chose to admit defeat.

Yunping believed that if he really had money, he could definitely fight Ye Yuchan for several hours without stopping.

In short.

Despite numerous setbacks, all members of Yuntian Academy ultimately advanced to the second stage of the final round of the Ten Thousand Schools Competition.

With five days left before the start of the second phase, and with Yunping's help, Zhang Ruoxue, who was the most seriously injured among the disciples, should be able to fully recover within five days.

At that time, the fact that everyone will advance to the second stage will largely be considered a blessing for the sect.

If other sects could achieve such brilliant results, their sect leaders would probably be so happy they'd ascend to immortality on the spot.

Yunping didn't feel much; rather, he considered it a close call.

What really concerned him was the second round of the battle of the ten thousand factions and the final ranking.

The second round only selects one hundred cultivators from each of the top ten to make it onto the list. This is much more brutal than the one-on-one, win-or-lose situation – after all, winning against one or two cultivators doesn't guarantee you'll have the last laugh, while in a one-on-one match you only need to defeat one opponent.

During the following period, Yunping let Zhang Ruoxue rest for the time being, while Jiang Yuetian stayed behind to take care of his junior sister. The other three girls went out shopping and picked up some wine for Ruoxue.

"So this is your reason for asking me for money? To buy Ruoxue wine?"

Yunping sat in the courtyard outside the palace, surrounded by fragrant pale red flowers. He lay in an old man's rocking chair, wearing sunglasses, basking in the sun like an old man.

Ye Yuchan put her hands on her hips and said matter-of-factly, "Ruoxue is so badly injured, wouldn't it be better to buy her some local specialty wine from the capital?"

Yunping silently extended his middle finger and pushed up his sunglasses. "She's already injured like that, and you're still giving her alcohol? What's the meaning of this? You think her meridians aren't damaged enough, so you're adding fuel to the fire?"

"A little bit won't hurt~" Ye Yuchan continued to pester Yun Ping, pouting and tugging at his arm, her voice sickeningly sweet, "Just give me some funds, you old rogue~"

Yunping immediately felt his ears and eyes suffer a double blow from hearing and sight. He shook off Ye Yuchan's hand and showed a disgusted expression.

"Who are you? My Yuchan would never talk to me in such a cloying tone."

"I'm just imitating Senior Sister Yuan'er by acting cute with you~"

Ye Yuchan tried to widen her eyes as much as possible, attempting to create a dewy look, while also blinking twice in a defiant manner.

"No, no, no, don't do that. Honestly, it's disgusting."

Ye Yuchan's malicious attempt to act cute resulted in Yun Ping getting goosebumps all over. He hurriedly changed the subject, "Speaking of which, I remember you made a lot of extra money with that rich guy in the last round, right? You must have made over a million gold coins, so why are you asking me for more?"

Mentioning that foolish rich man, Ye Yuchan couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth twice.

She looked away from Yunping and muttered to herself, "I only did it because I felt sorry for him... I stripped him of all his valuables, and he almost lost his used underwear to me, so I returned everything."

Yunping raised an eyebrow. "I didn't expect you to lose the money you had in your hands for such a reason. It seems you're not completely obsessed with money yet, you're just constantly testing the waters around it."

"Where did I test me? I've always been a reasonable person, okay? I won't take this kind of handout... cough, this kind of thing that's blatantly stolen!"

Facing the righteous and awe-inspiring Ye Yuchan, Yun Ping suddenly blurted out, "Then how do you explain the million gold coins you took from the Blackwater Abyss Treasury? Wasn't that also 'food offered with contempt'?"

Ye Yuchan's expression froze instantly.

Cold sweat beaded on her forehead. The silver-haired girl stared at the azure sky, looking as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

She remained like that for a few seconds before finally uttering a sentence.

"The wind is so noisy today."

That's lame.

This girl's change of topic was so abrupt!

However, in the end, Lao Yun was too lazy to continue arguing with this girl about what truly constituted charity. He simply took out over 100,000 gold coins and tossed them to Ye Yuchan, telling her to take them and go shopping.

He didn't want to be bothered by this girl until sunset on this rare sunny afternoon.

Ye Yuchan was indeed a completely different person after receiving the gold coins; her energy and spirit doubled. Yunping thought that if this girl ever became seriously ill and couldn't be cured, throwing a few million gold coins in her face would guarantee she would immediately come back to life.

The power of money might be even greater for Ye Yuchan than spiritual energy.

"Ok?"

Not long after Ye Yuchan left, the gate leading from the palace to the courtyard was opened again.

This time, however, it was two acquaintances who came.

Chu Xin is a woman with striking red hair, a tall figure, and an aura of nobility and elegance.
