Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 6: Steel Forged Through a Hundred Refinements Turns into Softness
"Junior Brother Zidong, how about we talk?" Feng Qingwu did not get up, but remained sitting cross-legged with his back to the morning sun, just like the rising sun.

"What are you talking about, Junior Sister Qingwu?" Zi Dong stood motionless at the entrance of the cave, gazing at the fiery and dazzling Feng Qingwu, who was even more radiant in the bright morning light.

He is the senior disciple of the Yuntian Sect, a figure comparable to Feng Qingwu. Although his cultivation is not as high as hers, he cannot be called her junior brother. Why add the word "little" on his behalf? How is he little?

Feng Qingwu wanted to suppress him with her aura first, so Zi Dong naturally wouldn't be polite. He was already being very generous by not calling her "Junior Sister".

"I'll help you form a demon-hunting team!" Feng Qingwu didn't care about how Zi Dong addressed her. She had brought it up first, and since they were evenly matched, let's get straight to the point.

"What are the conditions?" Zi Dong remained noncommittal, showing no surprise that Feng Qingwu knew so quickly.

The sect leader will definitely discuss the Demon Hunter Team with the elders. Since Feng Qingwu has come to him of her own accord, she certainly isn't being kind.

"We're engaged, and you will no longer have any dealings with any other woman!" Feng Qingwu stated her condition decisively.

"Life is a long journey, and I can't really guarantee that. If a demoness comes to eat me, I can't just wait to die, can I?" Zi Dong said with a serious and earnest face, making up nonsense.

"I'm talking about emotional entanglements!" Feng Qingwu glared angrily with her amethyst-like eyes. Of course, this vixen had to be killed!

"Fighting with a demoness would definitely involve fluctuations of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness; I still can't do it." Zi Dong pretended to think for a moment before shaking his head.

"Why? What do I lack compared to the women you chose?!" Feng Qingwu was filled with shame and indignation. She jumped off the large blue stone and shouted angrily. Zi Dong had been talking nonsense all along, which was a way of rejecting her.

"Feng Qingwu, men care about more than just a woman's beauty and figure." Zi Dong looked Feng Qingwu up and down, then strode away.

"What do you care about?!" Feng Qingwu quickly asked, but did not chase after him. She had already lost all face as the senior sister.

Zi Dong had no time to teach her how to be gentle and tender. After leaving the sect, he went straight to the market, found Ai Shang, and immediately brought back a beautiful woman.

The most important thing right now is cultivation; even if I were to find a girlfriend, I couldn't choose someone like Feng Qingwu.

Putting aside his princess-like temper, just those two long legs... if Zi Dong hadn't grown so fast, he would only be fit to be like a certain star, holding up Feng Qingwu's skirt.

Feeling ashamed and indignant, Feng Qingwu returned to her cave in dejection, unable to understand why Zi Dong looked down on her.

As the senior disciple of the Yuntian Sect, she had no shortage of suitors, but when she took the initiative to approach Zi Dong, she was directly rejected.

"Tell me, besides a woman's beauty and figure, what else do men care about in a woman?"

Feng Qingwu summoned several of her trusted junior sisters, wanting to figure out what Zi Dong meant by those words.

"Senior Sister, men say that women are made of water, and that they are gentle, like watery tenderness."

After a flurry of chatter, one of the junior sisters finally mustered the courage to speak up, because Feng Qingwu was lacking this.

"What do we do?!" Feng Qingwu looked at her junior sister with a worried expression. She was born with the glory of the Feng family and had never known what gentleness was.

"It's just...it's just..." The junior sister hesitated for a long time but couldn't explain what Wenrou was like. Looking at Feng Qingwu's gloomy face, she kept backing away.

"Senior Sister, is it like what the Cloud Heaven Technique says in its general outline: 'Refined steel turns into silk'?" Another quick-witted junior sister quickly stepped forward.

"How do I get around it?!" Feng Qingwu thought for a long time, counting on her ten fingers, but still couldn't figure it out, so she had to keep asking.

"..." Everyone stared at each other in disbelief. The general outline was about techniques, how to overcome strength with softness, and how to defeat the strong with the weak.

As for how women can entangle men, the general principles don't really say. Sociology on the Tianyun Continent isn't as developed as on Earth, so people really don't know how to do it, and there's no Baidu to ask.

"Go ask! We must find out the truth about this!" Feng Qingwu immediately ordered. She couldn't get Zi Dong unless she understood what men cared about women.

That means we can't acquire more fortune, can't help the Feng family become stronger, can't help our father become the sect leader, and can't fully control the Yuntian Sect!
If Zi Dong, who was returning to Yun Tian Sect with a beautiful woman, knew that his words had caused Feng Qingwu so much trouble, he would definitely help her resolve her doubts.

Everyone on Earth knows this; even tomboys have learned to be gentle, otherwise they really wouldn't be able to find a man. The duty steward, seeing that Zi Dong had brought back yet another one, couldn't help but complain with a headache. This constant commotion had already caused the elder in charge of the steward's hall to lose his temper several times.

"Then let's not register her yet. Let's wait for Feng Qingwu to send someone over."

After pondering for a moment, Zi Dong finally decided not to cause any more trouble for the deacons.

Once, he brought back a beautiful woman. The steward on duty was busy and hadn't even had a chance to examine the woman's spiritual root when Feng Qingwu sent someone over.

The duty officer dared not disobey, so he could only quickly check the spiritual root and send it directly to the affiliated sect without having time to register it.

Upon returning to the sect, he immediately went to Zi Dong's cave to explain. Even the elders dared not offend Zi Dong, who was the chosen one of destiny.

Zi Dong offered words of comfort, explaining that he had already obtained the fortune, and registering it was simply to leave evidence; one more wouldn't make a difference.

Although the matter was a bit strange, Zi Dong quickly figured it out. He was the senior disciple of the Yuntian Sect and now the chief steward in charge of recruiting disciples.

As long as someone is brought into the sect, they will be regarded as a disciple of the Cloud Heaven Sect by the Heavenly Dao, which has no time to register them.

Zi Dong now has enough dirt on her, and as long as the sect leader gives the order, he can immediately remove Feng Qingwu from her position as the senior sister.

Then, by launching an attack on the Feng family and helping the sect leader to completely control the Yuntian Sect, Zi Dong can become the true senior brother whose word is law!

With so little luck, Zi Dong, sitting cross-legged in his cave, couldn't help but reminisce about the days when Feng Qingwu drove away the female disciples of the Yuntian Sect.

Even cultivation lacked motivation, and Zi Dong listlessly took out the ring from the little demon cultivator's chest.

Among the disciples of Yuntian Sect, only Feng Qingwu wore a storage ring. Zi Dong knew that wealth should not be flaunted, so he tied the ring with a red string, hung it around his neck, and hid it inside his clothes on his chest.

Moreover, that demon cultivator's identity was definitely not simple, so he really didn't dare to wear it openly; it was safer to use a storage bag.

The ring contained many colorful pills, some of which were sure to aid in cultivation, but Zi Dong had a mountain of treasures he dared not use.

This is a pill for demonic cultivators. If you eat it, you'll either become a demon or go mad. Let's wait until we understand it before we talk about it.

Zi Dong examined the magic treasures again, realizing he needed to learn alchemy, weapon crafting, array formations, and talismans.

However, you still need to improve your cultivation level first. As long as you have more luck, these things will be easy.

Other alchemists can refine one batch of pills using ten portions of medicinal herbs, and those are all low-grade pills. He, however, directly uses his luck to refine them, and one portion of medicinal herbs becomes a high-grade pill.

Refining weapons, creating arrays, and making talismans are even simpler; you can directly use your luck to inscribe array patterns. Any product from Zidong is guaranteed to be top-quality!

After indulging in self-congratulation for a while, Zi Dong continued his cultivation. Having a little bit of luck was better than nothing, and he charged towards the peak of the ninth level!

Forcing himself to cultivate for a whole night, Zi Dong practiced a set of sword techniques from the Cloud Heaven Technique in front of his cave in the early morning light. Then he went to the market and brought back a beautiful woman.

Before even reaching the Hall of Affairs, the duty officer anxiously greeted him. He had just arrived at the cave dwelling only to find it empty, and the sect leader had specifically requested that Zi Dong participate in today's trial.

"Why wasn't there any advance notice?!" Zi Dong was puzzled. Usually, when going out for trials, they would give two days' notice so that the disciples could prepare.

"This trial was decided on short notice. Elder Yuanchen has broken through to the Integration Realm and is preparing to completely eliminate that group of demon cultivators from last time," the duty officer quickly explained.

Zi Dong doesn't want to go out and train right now. If he hadn't transmigrated here, this body would have already become bird and beast excrement.

One must at least cultivate to the Innate Realm to have the power to protect oneself, just as the sect leader said, and also acquire more Qi Luck.

But this was the sect leader's order, so Zi Dong had no choice but to head to the training ground halfway up the mountain, where a team of nearly a hundred people was already ready to go.

Wind dances!
Zi Dong immediately spotted Feng Qingwu standing behind Elder Yuan Chen, looking at him with a smug expression!
