Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 153: How Are Games More Enjoyable Than Women?

Qin Yi looked at Xi Xiangzi.

Xi Xiangzi shook his hands, but in fact it no longer hurt. He looked at Qin Yi with a look that was a little frightening and a little heart-wrenching, but strangely there was no resentment in it. He was just distressed about losing the flower.

Myriad Tao Immortal Palace respected the rules of each system. Under certain circumstances, even the Palace Master must abide by the rules of that system. For example, when participating in a gambling game, the Palace Master was just an ordinary gambler with no identity distinction.

It was an iron rule of the gambling sect to be willing to admit defeat. If the Palace Master refused to admit his losses due to his status or turned against the gambling sect after the incident, the foundation of the Myriad Tao Immortal Palace would immediately collapse.

So they used a bet to scam the treasure. Ju Yunxiu couldn't care about it***.

The current match was a bet contract made by Du Pingsheng, the master of the gambling sect. If Xi Xiangzi took revenge because of this, Du Pingsheng would be the first to stand up for Qin Yi. Ju Yunxiu wouldn't let him go either. By that time, he would offend the gambling sect master, art (piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting) sect master all at once. He would also be looked down upon by his fellow apprentices.

Having lived in such an environment for a long time, Xi Xiangzi was actually more accustomed to it than Qin Yi. He would at most have a grudge. He would play tricks with Qin Yi if there was a chance in the future, but he would never express his dissatisfaction in front of others.

Qin Yi didn't think so much, but Xi Xiangzi's distress made him feel a little sorry. After thinking about it, he wrote a prescription and handed it over, "This is the prescription for Moonlight Body Quenching Liquid. It can help Senior to build your physique. Take it as my apology."

Apology... Xi Xiangzi was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Qin Yi seriously. Qin Yi's eyes were clear. He laughed, accepted the prescription, bowed, and drifted away.

Qin Yi had a feeling that this was actually his entry test.

It was not only a test to join the Immortal Palace, but also a test to join the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting sect. What matters was what his apprentices think of you, what image and status he had in people's minds, and what Ju Yunxiu thought of him.

However, Zheng Yunyi did not leave with the others. Qin Yi was really curious about his appearance, so he asked, "By the way, is Senior Zheng from the sword sect?"

Zheng Yunyi said faintly, "There is no sword sect in Myriad Tao Immortal Palace, because all the sword cultivators have gone to Cloud Nine Sword Pavilion."

"So this is Brother Zheng's preference?" Qin Yi was not a layman who couldn't understand the martial arts system. Zheng Yunyi had cultivated his physique, so it was not surprising to deduce that he liked the way of sword.

Zheng Yunyi smiled and said nothing.

Qin Yi realized something. So you are just pretending all along.

If pretending itself is a way, this way might be overcrowded. Even I would like to join.

Zheng Yunyi did not answer the question, but he changed the topic, "Everyone said that Junior Brother Qin is very suitable for medical, divination, scheming, and planning sect. The cave house you chose has earth fire and alchemy cauldron. You can even give away the prescription for body training, and your scheme won this bet. Why did you join the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting sect without even visiting the medical, divination, scheming, and planning sect?”

"This is fate." Qin Yi smiled.

Zheng Yunyi took out a fan from nowhere, clapped his hands, and said, "Junior Qin's way is not in line with piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting. If you really want to follow your way, I sincerely recommend you to join the medical, divination, scheming, and planning sect. The internal transfer between sects is allowed."

Qin Yi still smiled, "Of course I will visit, but forget about the internal transfer. I’m very comfortable here."

Zheng Yunyi also smiled, "Because Senior Sister Ju is a stunning beauty? If it's because of this, Junior may have made a mistake."

"Oh?" Qin Yi couldn't help but want to hear the gossip even though this was not his purpose, "I'd like to hear the details."

"Junior Qin should know that Senior Ju is extremely beautiful. There are only a few fairies in the entire Immortal Realm who can compare with her. Junior, do you know what this means?"

Qin Yi narrowed his eyes, "You mean there are a lot of pesty flies around her?"

As he said this, he glanced at Zheng Yunyi and thought to himself: Don't tell me you are one of them.

Zheng Yunyi seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. He shook his head and said with a smile, "Junior Qin guessed wrong. Cultivating is to be freed from the shackles of appearance. No matter how beautiful one is, it is nothing more than a withered skeleton to a cultivator. This is more true in our Myriad Tao Immortal Palace. Because most of the people in the Immortal Palace are addicted to their own way. Their interest in female sex is probably less than a glass of wine, an elixir, and a gamble. It’s the same for me.”

Qin Yi nodded vigorously, "How can women be more enjoyable than women!"

"But!" Zheng Yunyi slapped his fan, "There are people in the Immortal Palace who are obsessed to beauties. There are hundreds of beautiful women in the Virtuous Garden, but who can compare with Ju Yunxiu? Many people who were fond of her appearance went to propose marriage. They were all very sincere, saying that if they could marry Yunxiu, they would be willing to kneel in front of her every day and just see her beauty. There were also people who wanted to become her disciple just to get close to her, like you. "

"What happened then?"

"No matter what methods they used, they were all beaten up and thrown down the mountain. Those who became her apprentices were chased away due to unfit tao." Zheng Yunyi concluded, "In these dozens of years, no one dares to make a fool of himself anymore."

Qin Yi smiled and said, "So she was always ridiculed, saying that she was just an idiot who could only play the piano and draw or could only sleep like a pig."

Zheng Yunyi laughed out loud, "People are always like this."

Qin Yi wondered, "Then why can't Senior like any of them? Are they all too bad?"

Zheng Yunyi shook his head, "You have forgotten one thing. Ju Yunxiu is exactly the kind of cultivator who thinks that men are not enjoyable as playing the piano and reading books."

Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly. It seems to be the case. If she has free time, she would rather sleep or bully Qing Cha.

Zheng Yunyi smiled and said, "Junior, do you still want to try?"

Qin Yi smiled and said, "Don't tell me that you want to try it yourself, Senior?"

"You seem to have mistaken the cause and effect. I'm not the one who wants to say it. It's you who are asking in detail." Zheng Yunyi snappishly said, "I just want to recruit you to my sect. If you want to refuse, then never mind.”

Qin Yi smiled slightly and said, "Thank you Senior for the invitation, but I like this place."

"Being obsessed with beauty. How sad." Zheng Yunyi shook his head and left, "If you change your mind later, you can still come to me."

As he spoke, he rode the sword light and disappeared in an instant.

He was actually riding a sword. He really tried his best to pretend. Seeing him leave, Qin Yi smiled.

Since he is in the way of scheming, will he persuade me earnestly to join his sect?

He must have an ulterior motive. I will find it out later.

Qin Yi stretched out and returned to the cave house, "Qing Feng, Ming Yue, seal the door. I will stay in retreat for three days."

The cave houses slam shut.

In the quiet cave, the aura was abundant. Liu Su's voice sounded, "That is the Soul Consolidating Flower. It's the key that determines whether I can exist as a soul without the mace."

Qin Yi's eyes widened.

Compared with being able to watch Stick Stick leaving the mace, all other matters are secondary.
