138 The Realm of Inside Job
[Today is a day of pretending to be polite and tidying up the shop.]
[Refined appearance +1]
In an instant, Fang Jinyu was in a bad mood.
It turned out to be another useless gain for his appearance!
It made Fang Jinyu’s gaze a little unhappy.
Unfortunately, there was no one at the door, let alone a customer.
Fang Jinyu had expected that no one would come for the whole day.
After all, although Fang Jinyu’s shop was open, his previous actions made others not dare enter his shop to purchase anything. Even if he considered the situation with his toes, he could imagine that there must be a leader behind those few Qi Condensation stage cultivators. Otherwise, why would they dare be so rude to a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator?
Although anyone who had a relationship with the Shenhua Sect would have a great increase in their status, even the outer sect Qi Condensation stage disciples of the Shenhua Sect could only be on equal footing with the Foundation Establishment stage among the rogue cultivators!
Unless they were descendants of great families to have such a contemptuous attitude.
However, even if they were from great families, they wouldn’t offend people for no reason. The people of the great families usually liked the method of using people and ask them to gain more benefits for them.
Therefore, it was obvious that someone with an extremely extraordinary status in the Shenhua Sect was backing this group of people up. The person was the one who gave them the courage to do so.
Otherwise, the person wouldn’t have been so indulgent.
After all, as one of the five great immortal sects, the Shenhua Sect had to uphold their dignity.
“However, there aren’t many people at the door. It seems a little strange.”
Therefore, Fang Jinyu released some divine sense. In the end, he saw that it wasn’t that there were no people. Instead, anyone who passed by his shop would have a tense expression, as if they had thought of something, and then hurriedly avoid it.
Even if some preferred to walk straight through, their friends would pull them to the side and speak a few words into their ears. After that, their expressions would all change drastically, and they would hurriedly avoid it.
“So, who warned them?”
Unfortunately, Fang Jinyu didn’t have any connections in this affiliated immortal city of the Shenhua Sect, so he didn’t even know who did it.
However, Fang Jinyu didn’t care.
Therefore, Fang Jinyu didn’t even have the intention to use his divine sense to probe.
After all, for such a small matter, Fang Jinyu could just send the culprit into reincarnation if he met the other party in the future!
There was no need to spend so much effort.
Fang Jinyu had always been so magnanimous.
Just like how he never held grudges and only settled karma with others.
At this moment, Fang Jinyu heard Qing Fu’s voice. It was a voice transmission, asking him to come outside.
“Why is she still outside?”
The Nascent Soul stage cultivators could gather and disperse freely. Therefore, even if Qing Fu suddenly disappeared, Fang Jinyu didn’t care much because she might appear behind him in the next second.
However, since Qing Fu was looking for him, Fang Jinyu had no reason not to go.
Thus, Fang Jinyu casually threw down a talisman that could trap and kill ordinary Core Formation stage cultivators. After using it as a defensive measure for the shop, he rushed to the place Qing Fu had transmitted her voice to.
The place wasn’t far.
Most importantly, Fang Jinyu’s shop was near the city gate, a relatively remote place.
Qing Fu was currently outside the immortal city, a place that didn’t look remote but was extremely hard to find.
It should be some kind of secret technique of hers.
At this moment, the little girl was squatting on a tree, helping an angry bird spirit beast feed its little cubs. However, it was also obvious that she was the culprit behind the bird spirit beast’s anger.
“What are you doing?”
Fang Jinyu walked over and asked curiously.
“Hey, Mother, you’re here!” Qing Fu immediately jumped down from the tree.
Fang Jinyu couldn’t help but glance at Qing Fu and say, “Why don’t you go in?”
Qing Fu showed a bitter expression and she said dejectedly, “The Shenhua Sect has a late-stage Incarnation cultivator. I’m not confident that I can hide it from him.”
Fang Jinyu was stunned, but he quickly reacted and said in disbelief, “Is it… ‘I’m good at hiding’?”
“That’s right!”
Seeing the little girl nod, Fang Jinyu couldn’t help but feel a little shocked. He thought, “It turns out that the upper limit of that secret technique was so high?!”
One had to know that secret techniques had a limit.
For example, the secret technique of the Tianling Sect, the skyrocket scripture, could be used to enhance all escape techniques. It could even be used to increase one’s speed. However, the effect of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator’s escape technique would be greatly reduced if it was augmented by the skyrocket scripture.
The situation would be the same for the raw-refining technique, which was only allowed to be used by the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
When one broke through the Core Formation stage, there was no way to rely on the raw-refining technique to “borrow lifespan with one’s abilities!”
Unless one could find an advanced version of the raw-refining technique.
It was because the raw-refining technique wasn’t a secret technique of the Nine Desolations. It was said that it had been passed down from the apocalypse demon, but even Grandmaster Meng wasn’t sure if it was true.
However, Grandmaster Meng once said that with his half-step out of Nascent Soul stage cultivation, he wouldn’t be able to create such a secret technique even if he exhausted his cultivation.
Only those who had a deep understanding of the Samsara cycle of birth, and death could create such a tyrannical secret technique that could borrow something without giving it back.
Thinking of it, Fang Jinyu immediately decided in his heart. When he returned, he would cultivate the few secret techniques he had learned from the little girl again.
Although the other secret skills, other than “I eat a lot, but I’m super strong” Fang Jinyu reached the phenomenal success stage, judging from Qing Fu’s performance, it was obvious that only when those secret techniques reached the phenomenal success stage could they reach such a miraculous realm.
