Chapter 18 The Double Saints
During the Double Saints Festival, Kui Xing Island became very lively. Dong Shi City, which was usually somewhat quiet, was also packed with people.
The mortal caravan that entered the city looked up at the cultivators flying overhead with envy.
Many of the Qi Refining stage cultivators who were caravan members, after receiving their spirit stone rewards, happily headed towards Kui Xing City.
As a city of cultivators on Kuixing Island, it is even more prosperous than usual during the Double Saints Festival.
The Demon-Suppressing Ceremony, held once every ten years, is the grand finale.
To commemorate the struggle between human cultivators and demonic beasts in the Chaotic Star Sea, which enabled the human race to thrive.
During the Demon Suppression Ceremony, cultivators will engage in duels with captured demonic beasts.
The winner will receive various precious resources as rewards from the Six Palaces and the Star Palace.
"First place winner will be awarded a Dust-Reducing Pill."
The second place winner will be awarded Heavenly Fire Liquid and Snow Spirit Water.
Third place, one thousand spirit stones…
Looking at the rewards on the list, Han Li, wearing a bamboo hat, showed a look of surprise and delight.
He arrived in Kuixing City, strolled around, and collected the other materials for refining the Dust-Reducing Pill in the Tiandu Street Market.
Now, all that's missing are Heavenly Fire Liquid and Snow Spirit Water.
Moreover, the first place winner was directly rewarded with a Dust-Reducing Pill.
This is extremely important for him, who is stuck at a bottleneck.
"It seems I'm bound to participate in this Demon Suppression Ceremony. I wonder what the rules are."
Han Li lowered his head in thought as he strolled along the street with Qu Hun.
"Bang!"
Just then, a man walking hurriedly bumped into Han Li's shoulder.
"Hey! Who are you?!"
The person who collided with Han Li was Wen Qiang.
"Brother Wen!"
Han Li was also slightly surprised.
The two had parted ways years ago and hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Now that they have met by chance here, even the aloof Han Li is tempted to strike up a conversation.
And it's also a good opportunity to ask some questions about the Demon Suppression Ceremony.
After the two talked for a while, Wen Qiang's expression changed slightly when she heard that Han Li was going to participate in the Demon Suppression Ceremony.
He then told Han Li about the dangers of the Demon Suppression Ceremony.
After hearing this, Han Li became conflicted. Just as he was hesitating and thinking, the cultivators on the street nearby exclaimed in surprise.
A group of people dressed in uniform walked slowly down the street.
Among the procession was a luxurious carriage, but the person sitting inside made Han Li's heart tremble.
"It's him!"
There were three people sitting in the carriage: one man and two women. The man was Qingfeng, who was in the early stage of Core Formation, and the two female cultivators who served him on either side and wore veils were Yanli and Yuanyao.
"The car looks much better without the doors."
Inside the car, Qingfeng ate the fruit that Yuan Yao had fed him.
Ignoring the various stares cast my way from the street.
These people are definitely talking about him behind his back, but so what?
Is there anything wrong with the food my own wife feeds me?
However, his behavior only further solidified his status as a spoiled young master in the eyes of the cultivators watching the spectacle on the street.
"Young master, our long-term sale of thousand-year-old spiritual herbs has attracted attention."
Based on the information obtained from the interrogation, it can be inferred that Zhang and Wang were instructed by someone behind the scenes.
And the faction that instigated this seems to be no weaker than our Qingyang Sect.
While massaging Qingfeng's shoulders, Yanli transmitted the information she had obtained through interrogation to him telepathically.
"In the Chaotic Star Sea, there are quite a few forces that are not afraid of my Qingyang Sect."
However, in this southwestern sea area, only Jiyin Island has the courage to take the risk.
Qingfeng pondered for a moment. He had long known that too many thousand-year-old spiritual herbs flooding the market would cause problems.
However, it's not a big problem. His father is in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm and cultivates offensive techniques, specifically the most powerful lightning-attribute cultivation method.
The current extreme Yin is not enough to warrant a staged accident.
"However, once Dad comes out of seclusion, we'll see if we can lend him a hand."
"Only if I allow him to advance to the late Nascent Soul stage can I continue being a playboy in the Chaotic Star Sea."
Qingfeng lay back in Yuan Yao's gentle embrace.
He appeared to be a shameless womanizer in the eyes of the surrounding cultivators.
This sparked another round of discussion among them.
"See that? That's Qingfeng, the young master of the Qingyang Sect!"
A yellow-faced cultivator whispered to his companion beside him, gesturing with his chin.
"Such a grand display, having two beauties attending to him even when he goes out."
"It's more than just serving!"
The other person winked and gave a knowing smile.
"Didn't you see those two female cultivators? Even with their faces covered by veils, their captivating charm was undeniable?"
Tsk tsk, feeding fruit in broad daylight while nestled in someone's arms, what kind of decorum is that... But, it's truly enviable.
At first, it was just a joke about his playboy lifestyle, but the rumors spread quickly and took off.
"You only know one side of the story, not the other!"
This young master Qingfeng is not just someone who craves pleasure.
I heard from a distant cousin who used to work at the Qingyang Sect that the cultivation method he practiced was extremely wicked, specifically targeting female cultivators' yin essence to enhance their cultivation!
A monk with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks began to spread rumors.
Is this really true?
The people around gasped.
"Absolutely true!"
At this moment, another monk joined the chat channel.
Shh! Keep your voice down, are you out of your mind?!
I've heard he has incredible spiritual insight; be careful he doesn't overhear us!
The crowd fell silent instantly, and many people instinctively shrank back.
But soon, even lower whispers began to hum again.
These rumors, a mixture of truth and falsehood, and incorporating the imaginations and prejudices of most people, quickly spread among the low-level cultivators in Kui Xing City.
Qingfeng's image was completely transformed from a simple playboy into a lecherous demon with a powerful background, unpredictable temper, and a terrifying fetish for female cultivators!
Han Li stood in the crowd, silently listening to the increasingly outrageous discussions, his brows furrowing slightly beneath his bamboo hat.
I'm glad I ran fast enough and wasn't caught by the young master of Qingyang Sect who had a penchant for men.
Meanwhile, in the distance, Qingfeng, sitting in a carriage, sneezed.
He never dreamed that the rumors would spread that he was attracted to men, or even bisexual...
"Damn it, who's talking about me again?"
Qingfeng rubbed his nose.
Yuan Yao considerately handed her a cup of spiritual tea.
"It must be because of your extraordinary demeanor, young master. You must have caught the eye of countless people and become the talk of the town along the way."
Yanli covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
The two women had followed Qingfeng for three years, staying by his side day and night. They knew that although the young master seemed unrestrained and rebellious, he was actually very measured.
Most of the absurd rumors circulating outside are spread by hostile forces or by ignorant people spreading misinformation.
However, the young master has always disdained to argue, and sometimes even deliberately fuels the flames.
This would solidify his reputation as a "spoiled brat" and make certain enemies in the shadows lower their guard.
In Yanli and Yuanyao's hearts, the young master is the best person in the world.
Qingfeng took the teacup and took a small sip.
He was unaware that the two women were already head over heels in love and held him in such high regard.
Actually, he didn't think that much about it; he just had an indifferent attitude.
In this world, strength reigns supreme; reputation is utterly useless.
"Young Master, the carriage of the Star Palace envoy is approaching. Should we give way?"
The commander of the guards in front of the carriage quickly walked up to the carriage and asked.
"The Star Palace Envoy is Sect Master Wang of the Myriad Sounds Sect..."
Qingfeng smiled and got out of the car. His Jin Leizhu had arrived.
