Starting From A Fisherman To Cultivate Immortality And Live Forever

Chapter 56: They're all good people!

Su Ping didn't know what to say for a moment as he looked at the disheveled Yun Jiu, who looked like a dying stray dog.

Is it true that lickspittles deserve to die?

Thinking of Yun Jiu's background, Su Ping understood that such behavior was understandable.

Among the outer disciples of the immortal sect, those who used beauty as a strategy were usually from the lower levels of cultivation.

It wasn't their nature, but rather their environment from a young age that led to their limited knowledge and experiences, making them more susceptible to falling into such traps.

On the other hand, those from prestigious families had personal maidservants since childhood, who not only took care of their daily needs but also served as their tutors.

Those specially chosen children would even have arranged wives and concubines from a young age, demystifying the concept and eliminating their curiosity.

This made it easier to educate them and establish a worldview that aligned with the noble families.

Yun Jiu clearly didn't have such a life, but because of his talent, he attracted attention. Before he could even get used to his status, he was set up.

Like many predecessors, he mistook infatuation for love at first sight.

And it was reinforced as self-pity.

"Did you see her when you went to the market this time?"

After listening to the story, Su Ping gave up on questioning something that would be difficult to achieve and casually asked.

Yun Jiu's face turned somewhat embarrassed when he heard this.

"I handed the gift directly to her personal maid and left."

"I think it's better if I don't see her in my current state..."

"So, you didn't even see her once, but you finished delivering the gift and came to me to talk about this?"

Su Ping resisted the urge to rub Yun Jiu's head and continued to ask.

Yun Jiu nodded quickly.

"Senior brother, I can't go back to the sect in my current state. The steward senior brother also advised me not to go back for a while."

"I thought about it and decided to stay in the market at Jiuye Mountain for a while. I came to visit you this time hoping to borrow some monster beast meat."

"After leaving Yunshan Market, I don't even have a single spirit stone left."

"But I will definitely repay you, double the amount! Although I suffered a major injury this time, I also broke through a bottleneck as a result and can now draw first-grade talismans."

Faced with Yun Jiu's request, Su Ping hesitated for a moment. After sorting out his thoughts, he understood the general situation.

Because Yun Jiu had drawn that strange beast-taming talisman, he suffered a major injury and became withered, not to mention that he also absorbed some death energy.

The outer steward obviously feared that this aura would be discovered by the immortal sect, so he sternly ordered Yun Jiu not to return to the sect for a while.

Unlike the inspections in the market at Jiuye Mountain, where as long as you weren't a registered disciple of the immortal sect, you could enter by paying spirit stones.

After all, Yun Jiu was still an outer disciple and had some talent. If other outer stewards or even inner disciples noticed something unusual and conducted a detailed investigation...

It was likely that some secrets would be exposed, which was something the outer steward didn't want to see.

"Jiuye Mountain Market? There are mostly lone cultivators there, so no one would dare to target you."

"But you need to know that people can be treacherous. Since you're no longer in the outer sect, you must be extra careful."

Su Ping's response to Yun Jiu's request wasn't unexpected. His reputation as the benevolent hunter who killed multiple monster beasts wasn't a secret.

"Alright, I'll give you thirty catties of dried unicorn beef and a jar of freshly brewed tiger bone wine."

"The quality isn't great, and you know that the good quality ones aren't something I can kill."

"But they still have some effects, which should help you recover your vitality."

"But remember, these are all borrowed. Once you recover, you'll have to repay them with your talismans."

Su Ping pretended to be a little distressed and took out the meat and wine from his storage bag, handing them to Yun Jiu.

Yun Jiuleiman thanked and nodded repeatedly, bowing to Su Ping in gratitude.

There were many who added to the splendor, but few who lent a helping hand in times of need!

Yun Jiulei was deeply moved, feeling that he hadn't misjudged Su Ping. This Senior Brother Su Ping was truly a kind person, second only to Fairy Luo Xian and the Senior Brother in charge!

In the future, when he succeeded, he would definitely repay the kindness!

Su Ping stood on the high building of Linyue Manor, watching Yun Jiulei leave.

This Yun Jiulei could be considered Su Ping's investment attempt on the disciples of the Immortal Sect.

After all, as his cultivation improved, there were some resources that could only be obtained from the outer sect or large markets.

Unfortunately, those places were not suitable for Su Ping to go as the Supervisor, and there was no need to risk being discovered for his true cultivation.

"However, didn't that outer sect Senior Brother send someone to silence him?"

"Maybe I'm overthinking it, or... does that outer sect Senior Brother really trust Yun Jiulei's character?"

Thinking of Yun Jiulei's performance, Su Ping felt that the latter was more likely.

Of course, it was more likely that there were other circumstances that prevented the other party from taking action.

Causing the other party to give up on silencing Yun Jiulei.

Otherwise, Yun Jiulei wouldn't have had the chance to come and borrow the demonic beast meat from him.

The day after Su Ping sent Yun Jiulei away, he unexpectedly received a letter from that fellow Senior Brother.

That fellow Senior Brother had the same surname as Yun Jiulei.

However, while Yun Jiulei was from a peasant family, that Senior Brother Yun was from a prestigious branch of a big city.

It was said that after he became a Senior Brother, the branch became the main branch, and his father became the head of the family.

It was like a version of a Qi Refining cultivator who had ascended to heaven.

Su Ping quickly skimmed through the letter from Senior Brother Yun.

The letter expressed his concern for Yun Jiulei's infatuation and his fear of recent chaos in the Immortal Sect.

As an outer sect Senior Brother, he knew more about the chaos and anomalies in various places, and therefore had more fear for the future than many outer sect disciples.

Then, the tone of the letter changed. Senior Brother Yun mentioned that he had recently discovered a deserted mine, where there was a strange beast with a suspected Qilin bloodline.

This strange beast had at most a mid Qi Refining cultivation, but it was extremely cunning and agile, making it difficult to capture.

Senior Brother Yun knew that Su Ping was already at mid Qi Refining, and hoped that Su Ping could help him.

He also mentioned that he had contacted more than ten fellow Senior Brothers, and that their magical tools and talismans were all prepared.

The success rate of this operation was very high, and if Su Ping went, he would definitely gain rich rewards!

"A strange beast with a Qilin bloodline, this is no less than a dragon-type strange beast!"

"No wonder this Senior Brother Yun couldn't resist trying to take advantage of Yun Jiulei!"

"This letter is interesting. It first gives a sense of crisis, and then proposes this... It would be strange if anyone else wasn't tempted."

Su Ping shook his head slightly and took out pen and paper to reply:

"Unfortunately, I can already mass-produce dragon-type strange beasts!"

"This matter is too risky, I won't participate!"

Su Ping had already made up his mind, using the excuse that he was still recovering from internal injuries sustained in battle with the demonic beasts, which hadn't healed yet, to decline Senior Brother Yun's invitation.

As for whether the other party believed it or not, Su Ping couldn't control that!

Anyway, if the other party really wanted to launch a surprise attack, then Su Ping wouldn't be blamed for not playing fair and would retaliate with a counter-surprise attack!

Su Ping handed the letter to the City Lord's Mansion to be sent out through their channels.

Then, Su Ping closed his eyes and communicated with Little White and Little Gray through the group of mice... and immediately saw a grand ceremony venue outside of Jinque City.

With each two-meter-high pagoda placed on a node, the entire ceremony site became a large formation!
