Filthy Cultivation: I Pierced the Heavens with the Merit System

Li Fuyao nodded in agreement, but when she followed Zhang Ze to the meeting place, she discovered that her teammate was actually an old acquaintance!

"It truly is fate! I never expected to meet Junior Sister Fuyao here. This is a wonderful surprise, a truly unexpected delight!"

Duan Hongzhi excitedly stepped forward, rambling on and on while bowing respectfully with great delight. Only after straightening up did he ask:

"I wonder why Junior Sister Fuyao is here? Could she also be here to accept a mission?"

"Yeah, I was bored, so I asked Senior Brother Zhang Ze to bring me here to play."

Li Fuyao returned Duan Hongzhi's greeting with practiced ease, and asked with a smile:

"What a small world! You two senior brothers actually know each other?"

"We're both outer disciples, with similar cultivation levels and compatible personalities. Not only do we know each other, he's also my good buddy!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ze put his arm around Duan Hongzhi's shoulder, his eyes darting suspiciously between Duan Hongzhi and Li Fuyao for a moment before he suddenly exclaimed as if he had just realized something:

"Wait, you just called her Junior Sister. Elder Ye instructed me to take good care of her. So, it seems..."

He belatedly realized what he had said and stared wide-eyed at Li Fuyao:

"Young friend Fuyao, you and your brother wouldn't happen to be those two young heroes who made great contributions in this demon-slaying operation, would you?!"

"My brother and I are still young, and we only did our best. We dare not be called heroes."

Li Fuyao, with her hands behind her back and her chest slightly puffed out, pursed her lips and said modestly:

"The demon-slaying operation went smoothly, thanks to the excellent coordination of our senior brothers and sisters."

Knowing that the hottest celebrity was right in front of him, Zhang Ze's eyes lit up.

Like a reporter, he pulled out a gleaming stone, held it in both hands, and brought it close to Li Fuyao to ask her questions in detail.

"Senior Brother Zhang Ze, why are you asking these questions?"

Li Fuyao asked.

"Sell it! This is the most authentic, freshest, and hottest first-hand headline!"

After answering with great enthusiasm, Zhang Ze seemed to realize something was amiss, scratching his head as he explained:

"Those outside the sect use jade pendants for transmitting sound, which only have the basic function of transmitting sound for communication. However, the identity tokens of our sect disciples have various wonderful uses, and can also use Cloud Concealment Spiritual Messages."

"This Cloud Concealment Message can conceal one's identity and is used by all disciples to exchange information. Some information can also be sold to information brokers to earn spirit stones."

At this point, he realized that his actions were very impolite and blushed with embarrassment.

But then he saw Li Fuyao staring at him with a strange expression but not saying a word. Remembering her identity, the tall, thin young man's face immediately turned from red to white with fear.

"I didn't mean anything by it, I was just thinking about earning more spirit stones. If you mind, then I won't ask anymore, please don't be angry..."

Duan Hongzhi hadn't expected this. In his haste, he stopped talking and quickly spoke up to help his brother out of the predicament:

“Junior Sister, Zhang Ze was raised by his grandmother alone, but she fell while washing clothes a while ago. Because the old lady has little cultivation and is old, she has not recovered well and is still bedridden, relying on various elixirs to prolong her life.”

“The cost of buying elixirs every day is huge. Zhang Ze offended you because he was trying to earn more spirit stones. Please forgive me, Junior Sister, for my sake.”

So that's why you're greedy?

Hearing his two senior brothers' words, Li Fuyao paused slightly in her gentle stroking motion, then smiled with her eyes crinkling:

"Senior brothers, I'm not angry. I was just thinking about how to maximize the benefits."

Seeing that Li Fuyao wasn't angry, the two senior brothers breathed a sigh of relief. Intrigued by this, they asked in unison:

"Maximize profits? What do you mean by that?"

Seeing that the little guy in her arms had also perked up his ears with interest, Li Fuyao playfully flicked his earlobe with her little hand and asked with a faint smile:

"Don't sell my information to intelligence dealers, otherwise they'll be eating the meat while we're licking the pot. We'll sell it directly to people who are willing to pay a high price, but I want half the profits after it's done."

That's it?

They've thought about it before, but it's easier said than done.

Where can you find people willing to pay a high price?

Zhang Ze and Duan Hongzhi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with disappointment.

Li Fuyao immediately guessed most of their thoughts. Seeing their expressions, she didn't say much, but simply raised her hand to avoid Bai Suifeng's wolfish bite on her finger, raised her chin behind them, and chuckled confidently:

"Recognize those guys with unfriendly expressions? Get ready, a big client is coming!"

Which ones?

Upon hearing this, the two senior brothers turned around and saw a male and female cultivator in blue robes leading the way, followed by several other people.

Logically, the most eye-catching person in a group should be the tallest, but at first glance, the most striking person in this group is a little girl who looks to be around eleven or twelve years old.

The young girl, with red eyes and red hair, walked slowly in wearing an elaborate light blue dress. The jewels on her head were dazzling, and her arrogant demeanor was like a flame floating on ice, making her stand out from afar.

His cultivation level was faintly reminiscent of the Qi Refining stage, clearly indicating that he was just one step away from breaking through to the Innate Perfection stage.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that behind the young girl were not only a burly man, an old man, and a maid, but also several little children from the Xia, Shang, and Zhou families following like quails.

As they sized each other up, the group approached.

The male cultivator scanned Li Fuyao and his companions from head to toe, then pulled the female cultivator tightly into his arms, speaking with a contemptuous sneer:

"Hey, Zhang Ze, how did things turn out between you and your talkative brother?"

Zhang Ze, his face dark, stepped forward, shielding Duan Hongzhi and Li Fuyao behind him, and coldly asked:

"Zhuo Yuxuan, what brings you here?"

"I'm not doing anything, I just came to see how my Zhizhi's ex-boyfriend is doing."

Upon hearing this, the male cultivator in blue squinted his eyes and gave a wicked smile. He then tilted his thick lips, which resembled half of the East African Rift Valley, and kissed the cherry-like mouth of the female cultivator in his arms fiercely, his actions as arrogant as if he were gnawing on a human head.

The most disgusting thing was that when that big mouth lifted up again, it pulled out a sticky strand of saliva.

The female cultivator suppressed the disgust in her eyes, secretly wiping her drool while covering her mouth and giggling, and then urged in a coquettish voice:

"Oh, Brother Zhuo~ Her lover only has you. Zhang Ze's cultivation is not as advanced as yours to begin with, and now he has an old woman who's half-dead to take care of. Why would you come to see him?"

"Let's hurry up and leave. Seeing his shabby appearance makes me feel unlucky!"

God!

I think you also feel it's bad luck!

Looking at the scene of toads sucking on flowers, Li Fuyao felt as if her ears and eyes were being subjected to inhuman torture.

She tightly covered Bai Suifeng's eyes, a surge of grief and indignation rising within her, feeling her soul had been defiled. Just as she was about to open her mouth in disgust, she heard Zhang Ze passionately speak up, acting as her mouth double:

"Of course I am not as good as you."

His usually smiling, thin face was now filled with contempt:

“Scarlett, I can’t bring myself to eat a toad.”
