Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 232: Cooperation

"The moon shines over the boundless sea, tears glisten on the pearl. The sun warms the Blue Field, smoke rises from the jade..."

Shui Yuying put down her book and sighed, "These two lines in the poem are especially beautiful, leaving a lingering fragrance in my mouth. Such a good poem, such good literature!"

Xing Shan, with his broad figure, sat on the edge of the bed. His square face was expressionless, but he nodded in agreement with a dry smile, unsure of how to cooperate.

"Worthless."

The more Shui Yuying looked at Xing Shan, the more she despised him. If it weren't for his strong physique and ability, she would have kicked him off the bed long ago.

At the very least, he was in the late stage of Body Refining Foundation Building. He shouldn't insult her over trivial matters.

Feeling disinterested, she waved her hand and Xing Shan awkwardly left the bedroom.

Shui Yuying let out a sigh. It's difficult to find someone who is both good-looking and capable.

In the huge bronze mirror embedded in the long couch, a beautiful woman wearing only a pink bellyband reclined against a soft pillow. Her figure was graceful, with delicate details and ample proportions. Every inch of her tender and smooth body exuded a voluptuous sensuality, illuminating the bronze mirror.

Shui Yuying gently caressed her smooth and tender thigh and sighed softly. Such a good thing, but there were few who could enjoy it.

After reading "Dream of the Red Chamber," those hot, exciting, and vivid illustrations ignited a bit of desire in her heart.

If Xing Shan had some understanding and was willing to cooperate, she could use it to quench her desire. Unfortunately, this person was dull and boring, and no matter how she looked at him, she felt disgusted. She just couldn't muster any interest.

"Yin Lihua is not bad. She's a bit cold and resembles Yun Qingxuan, but her temperament is even more gloomy. It seems that she still has the Yin attribute, so playing with her may be a bit inexperienced, but it adds a bit of fun..."

Shui Yuying hesitated when she thought of this. As a Gold Core cultivator, playing with a woman was nothing, but Yin Lihua was her junior.

She had a close relationship with the Xuanming Sect, and it would be embarrassing if news of her sleeping with her own junior got out.

Moreover, Yin Lihua was a Yin Ming Spirit Body with Transcendence aptitude. She would almost certainly achieve Gold Core in the future.

If she slept with Yin Lihua, the Sect Master of the Xuanming Sect would probably come looking for her to settle the score.

Weighing the pros and cons, Shui Yuying ultimately suppressed the desire that arose within her. At this moment, she wanted Gao Xian even more.

It was annoying that Yun Qingxuan and his brother were in the way, and she couldn't do anything about them.

It's all because of Xing Shan, this useless person. If he hadn't lost the gambling match, she could be freely playing with this beauty on the bed right now!

At that moment, a knock came from outside the door, followed by Yin Lihua's cold voice, "Master, Lihua requests an audience."

Shui Yuying smiled. This girl had quite the courage to dare to come to her room.

She casually said, "Come in."

Yin Lihua pushed open the door and saw Shui Yuying wearing only a bellyband. Her pupils visibly contracted for a moment.

She immediately lowered her gaze and bowed, "Master, Yun Qiushui invited me to dinner."

"Hmm?"

Shui Yuying became interested and sat up, asking, "What did he want from you?"

"He didn't say, he just gave me an invitation to a banquet." Yin Lihua was also puzzled, not knowing why Yun Qiushui sent her an invitation.

Yin Lihua didn't have a good impression of Yun Qiushui. This man was too good-looking, even better-looking than her!

Moreover, Yun Qiushui possessed a third-level Purple Cloud Sword, with a sword spirit that was in harmony with him, allowing him to control this spiritual sword.

Within the second level, who could be his opponent?!

Yin Lihua looked down on Yun Qiushui, who relied solely on the power of his sword! She thought Gao Xian was better, with his exquisite Ice Arrow Technique, openly defeating Xing Shan.

She also didn't like the air of nobility that Yun Qiushui exuded, as if he was naturally superior. She had grown up in privileged conditions, far surpassing her peers, and had always looked down on others.

But when she arrived in Qingyun City, she realized that there were many strong individuals here. Even though she was born with the Yin Ming Spirit Body, she was nothing special here.

She became even more disgusted with Yun Qiushui's haughty air. His invitation made her particularly wary and on guard, so she came to seek advice from Shui Yuying.

Shui Yuying was quite interested in this. She couldn't touch Yun Qiushui, but she could touch Gao Xian.

As long as Yin Lihua established a connection with the other party, there would always be a chance to take down Gao Xian.

Shui Yuying said to Yin Lihua, "You just go, Yun Qiushui may be willful, but he is dedicated to the way of the sword and won't have any other intentions towards you.

"They contacted you on their own, so they must want something from you. You can also probe their situation."

Yin Lihua's cold face frowned slightly. She didn't like scheming and had no interest in mingling with Yun Qiushui and the others.

"You child, I can't harm you. Let's not talk about anything else, Gao Xian is your strong enemy."

Shui Yuying said calmly, "Let's talk about Gao Xian's Ice Arrow Technique. Are you confident in dealing with it?"

Yin Lihua fell into silence. That day, Gao Xian displayed his Ice Arrow Technique, which was as fast as lightning and as powerful as thunder. Even watching from the side made her feel a chill in her heart.

"Not only is Gao Xian's Ice Arrow Technique formidable, he is also proficient in Flame Bullets, which are said to be equally astonishing in power. Moreover, his swordsmanship is superb. You won't gain any advantage up close..."

The information that Zhang Dongling could obtain, Shui Yuying could easily obtain as well, and the information she obtained was even more detailed.

Too many people knew about Gao Xian sweeping the three sects on the Feixian Platform. His personal situation was not a secret.

As long as Shui Yuying put in a little effort, she could easily find out everything about Gao Xian.

This also made Shui Yuying even more interested in Gao Xian. How did an alchemist's disciple suddenly become so powerful?

There must be secrets within Gao Xian. Perhaps it was some kind of Spiritual Weapon, or even a divine artifact?

Yun Qingxuan and his sister were proud and extremely wealthy, so they wouldn't think much about this.

But Shui Yuying had some thoughts. As long as she could get her hands on Gao Xian, she was confident that she could squeeze out all of his secrets with her methods.

Even if Gao Xian didn't have any secrets and was just naturally talented, it would still be good to enjoy his beautiful body.

There's no need to kill Gao Xian, so as not to upset Yun Qingxuan's face. As long as we can drain Gao Xian's cultivation and ruin his foundation for achieving enlightenment, it will be enough.

"What's the point of testing?" Yin Lihua still didn't want to go. If she couldn't win, then she couldn't win. A few words wouldn't solve any problems.

"You're already in your twenties, and you're still so naive."

Shui Yuying said slowly, "If you can't defeat Gao Xian, you can find a way to deal with him. For example, make a deal with him, sleep with him and make him voluntarily lose to you in the conference, or find his weakness and threaten him. Only by getting close to Gao Xian can you see through his true nature and seize the opportunity..."

Yin Lihua's face turned cold, but her heart was boiling like a pot of water.

She had never even thought of the methods mentioned by this Gold Core cultivator.

She also felt a bit disdainful. These were all underhanded schemes that couldn't be brought to light. She wouldn't do it.

Shui Yuying had lived for nearly a hundred years and loved to manipulate both men and women. She understood human nature very well.

Just by looking at the subtle changes in Yin Lihua's eyes, she knew what the other party was thinking.

She sneered, "Yin Lihua, wake up. This is Qingyun City. You are participating in the once-in-sixty-years Qingyun Conference. Only by winning can you become a true disciple of the Shenxiao Hall."

"If you miss this opportunity, you can only go back to the Xuanming Sect and suffer, and ultimately achieve nothing. All the investment and cultivation from your elders and friends will be in vain."

"Millions of cultivators in the Xuanming Sect may face disaster because of your stubbornness. Your so-called Dao will ultimately turn to ashes!"

Shui Yuying looked coldly at Yin Lihua. "You're not even willing to sacrifice for victory, yet you talk about disregarding everything for the Dao. What a joke!"

Yin Lihua's face turned pale from the scolding. Her pride and dignity were shattered by Shui Yuying's words.

Indeed, she wanted to win with dignity, but in reality, she couldn't do it.

When Gao Xian used his Ice Arrow Technique that day, she knew that she had no chance of becoming the champion of the Qingyun Conference...

But there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart, thinking that there might be some unexpected changes in the conference, and maybe Gao Xian wouldn't show up.

Yin Lihua lowered her head and thought for a long time. Suddenly, she raised her head and said, "I know you want Gao Xian. I can attend the banquet and try to find his weaknesses. But you have to deal with Gao Xian before the conference!"

Shui Yuying laughed, "That's more like it. This is the spirit of a Foundation Building cultivator. If you want to succeed, you have to be willing to get your hands dirty. Do you think you're Yun Qingxuan or Yun Qiushui?"

On the third floor of Changle Tower, the windows faced the hall outside, allowing a view of the performances on the stage and the guests in the hall.

Yun Qiushui called a few beautiful maidservants to accompany the wine, and there was also a musician playing the zither on the side. The atmosphere was quite lively.

Gao Xian sat below Yun Qiushui. He didn't expect Yun Qiushui to really invite Yin Lihua.

He said to Yun Qiushui, "Brother Yun, is this really a good idea?"

"What's wrong with it? You're not married, and she's not married. Besides, as cultivators, as long as we have mutual feelings, why bother about trivial matters?"

Yun Qiushui laughed heartily, seeming to find this matter quite amusing.

Gao Xian sighed softly, "What I said that day was just a joke. Brother Yun, you took it seriously..."

"Brother Gao, don't worry. If Yin Lihua doesn't come, it's fine. But if she does come, she definitely has ulterior motives. Don't fall for her beauty trap, that's the real danger," Yun Qiushui said nonchalantly.

He reminded Gao Xian, "Brother Gao, don't trade the position of the leader of the Law Assembly for the Five Elements Harmony Qi Method. That would be a big loss. The True Transmission of the Divine Palace holds a high position within the sect and enjoys great privileges. It is incomparable to the Five Elements Harmony Qi Method..."

Gao Xian nodded. He had actually thought about it. Since Yun Qiushui said it wasn't suitable, then it definitely wouldn't work.

The problem was, he didn't have any other bargaining chips to exchange.

Yun Qiushui said, "In the next few days, the Yin Wind Cave in the Biluo Mountain will open. The sect will organize a group of cultivators to collect Yin Horse Ginseng. I will invite Yin Lihua to accompany us.

"Her Yin Ming Spirit Body is most suitable for the environment of the Yin Wind Cave. When you go deep underground, you can cultivate your relationship..."

Gao Xian had heard of Yin Horse Ginseng. Although it was called ginseng, it was actually a kind of life form similar to a horse that lived in the Yin Wind. It was an important main ingredient for refining some pills and had a high value.

Yin Horse Ginseng didn't have much attacking power, but it was extremely fast and could burrow into the ground, making it extremely difficult to catch.

To think that there was a place within the Qingyun Sect's territory where Yin Horse Ginseng grew. The sect was truly vast and powerful. Yun Qiushui was really putting in effort to help him pick up girls...

Gao Xian could only cup his hands and say, "Brother Yun, you've thought of everything. I'm extremely grateful."

He actually felt that this matter was a bit of a joke. Yin Lihua wasn't a young girl in her teens. She was a Foundation Building cultivator, mature in mind. It wouldn't be easy to gain her trust.

As the two were communicating with their divine senses, a servant outside lifted the door curtain, and Yin Lihua, dressed in a black Daoist robe with a cold expression, entered.

Yun Qiushui stood up with a smile and greeted her, "Fellow Daoist, you've come at the right time. Please have a seat."

Yin Lihua cupped her hands and silently sat down without saying a word. Her expression was cold, her gaze deep, and she didn't look like a guest attending a banquet. Instead, she looked like an assassin here to kill.

A chilling aura spread outward from Yin Lihua, making the maidservants in the room feel a bone-chilling coldness. The smiles on their faces became extremely stiff.

The musician playing the zither in the distance felt his fingers go numb, and the melody he played began to scatter and go out of tune.

Yun Qiushui waved his hand considerately, "You all can leave."

The maidservants and musicians felt as if they had been granted amnesty and hurriedly bowed before hastily leaving the room.

Seeing Yin Lihua's appearance, Yun Qiushui also felt a headache. His sister was quiet, but Yin Lihua was gloomy, giving people a sense of danger.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Fellow Daoist, in a few days, we will go to the Yin Wind Cave to collect Yin Horse Ginseng. Fellow Daoist's Profound Transcendence Ming Method is more suitable for the environment of the Yin Wind Cave. I would like to invite Fellow Daoist to come along. You will receive twenty percent of the proceeds. What do you think, Fellow Daoist?"

"Okay."

Yin Lihua agreed too readily, which surprised Yun Qiushui. He immediately smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist is truly straightforward!"

He then said to Gao Xian, "Fellow Daoist's fire method restrains the evil creatures in the Yin Wind Cave. The two of you working together will surely yield great results..."

After finishing their discussion, Yin Lihua immediately got up and left.

Back at the Water Clan, Yin Lihua met with Shui Yuying and explained the situation.

Excitement flashed in Shui Yuying's bright eyes. "The Yin Wind Cave in the Biluo Mountain, that's a great place. Haha, I'll go there and wait for my beauty!"
