The Romantic Cultivator



Ji Yuan and Xiao Muhan had also asked Maiden Flower Ju about other questions on the Spirit Race and the Spirit Divine Realm.

They had to be careful with their questions lest they exposed their identities as an outer world cultivator. 

Ji Yuan thought: Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei looks like someone who can keep a secret. Therefore, she may be the only one that knows about our real identities.

He did not know that Maiden Flower Ju was also aware of their secret outer world cultivator's identity but she had kept quiet over it. 

She did not want to tell them that at this very moment, the Spirit Race was aware of the intrusions that were being made by the celestial cultivators.

The Spiritas had another word for these celestial cultivators that formed the intrusions and they called them the 'griefers'. 

Ji Yuan and Xiao Muhan received many information about the Spirit Divine Realm even though none of the information was really confidential.

They learnt that the Spirit Divine Realm was as vast as the Celestial Realm.

  Rather than having a particular celestial clan to rule over a domain, the Spirit Divine Realm is divided into many city-states in which the Divine Consort is always the most influential. 

In any given city-state, there are usually a few Divine Consorts that rule the city-state together in a council.

Strangely, the Divine Consorts are always the female Spiritas as the male Spiritas lacked the spiritual aptitude to reach the higher divine state of their cultivation spirit realm. 

At the same time, the male Spiritas are few and numbered by the females by 1:20.

This also explained why there are so many female Spiritas in the city and they are not afraid of showing off their nudity. 

It is also mainly because the male Spiritas are considered to be inferiors.

When Ji Yuan and Xiao Muhan had learnt of this part of the Spirit Race's history, they were quite speechless; it was because they were men and they had little or no status in a Spiritas' city state.

They also learnt that there are 4 noble ranks to the Spirit Race; the Divine Consorts are the highest spirit cultivators in the city-state, followed by the Spirit Consorts, Fairy Concubines and the Spirit Concubines. 

When the Divine Consorts obtained vast amount of spiritual force or when they have reached the spiritual peak, they would have a chance to ascend to the Greater Spirit Divine Realm, similar to the Celestial Realm to the Immortal Realm.

Every 500 years, a divine spirit portal to the Greater Spirit Divine Realm would also be opened and the Divine Consorts of each city-state would then vie for the opportunity to obtain the powerful spiritual force that would be bestowed upon them through the divine spirit portal.

Maiden Flower Ju was about to answer more questions that were being asked by Ji Yuan and Xiao Muhan, such as where the Divine Consorts were, when she was being interrupted by a sound of a profound bell.

She quickly said, "Please excuse me. I'll be back soon. I have something urgent to attend to."

Ji Yuan nodded and he was grateful for her information about the Spirit Race and the Spirit Divine Realm.

So, he took out a bag of 100 gold coins and grinned, "This is a tip for you."

Maiden Flower Ju looked stunned when she opened the bag and saw the gold coins that were inside, "This…"

Xiao Muhan had taken a peek at the bag and he looked disgusted with Ji Yuan.

It was because in the Celestial Realm, 100 gold coins are worth only 1 low grade spirit stone. 

Xiao Muhan muttered weakly as he stared coldly at Ji Yuan, "1 low grade spirit stone… it doesn't even come close to a high grade spirit stone…"

Ji Yuan said with a straight face, "You don't have to thank me. Hahaha… I don't have a lot of spirit stones but I have plenty of gold coins."

Xiao Muhan: …

Xiao Muhan: …

Xiao Muhan: …

Maiden Flower Ju stammered weakly, "Thank you, Master Ji Yuan…"

With a weird look that was upon Ji Yuan, she quickly exited the room.

When Xiao Muhan saw that Maiden Flower Ju had exited the room, he angrily pulled Ji Yuan by his collar. "You are throwing away the faces of the cultivators in the Celestial Realm by being such a poor pauper. Gold coins, my foot!"

Ji Yuan smiled bitterly, "Bruh. Don't get so upset. Hahaha… she deserves some tips for answering our answers…"

"But not gold coins!" Xiao Muhan hit Ji Yuan on his face. 

Ji Yuan did not fight back as he was being a little guilty as well for tipping 100 gold coins that were only worth 1 low grade spirit stone.

Ji Yuan tried to make a distraction out of this by saying awkwardly to Xiao Muhan, "Now that we got the names of the Divine Consorts. Why don't we test out our trial rings?"

Xiao Muhan slowly began to nod but not before he frowned a few more times at Ji Yuan.

But eventually he was eager to test out their trial rings; he started by rubbing his trial ring by calling out the names of the Divine Consorts.

Divine Consort Dongfang Xi: 0 Trust Point. 

Divine Consort Sun Dingjun: 0 Trust Point.

Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er: 0 Trust Point.

Divine Consort Tang Manni: -50 Trust Points.

Ji Yuan began to laugh jovially and his stomach was aching with his continuous laughter when he saw that Xiao Muhan had got a -50 Trust Points with Divine Consort Tang Manni.

"Hahahaha… isn't she supposed to be the easiest to approach? Brother Xiao Muhan, maybe you are just too ugly… Hahahaha…"

Ji Yuan laughed nonstop, "Maybe I got a 50 Trust Points with all the Divine Consorts because of my beautiful face…"

He began to recite the names of all the Divine Consorts by rubbing his black trial ring. 

Divine Consort Dongfang Xi: -10 Trust Points. 

Divine Consort Sun Dingjun: -10 Trust Points.

Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er: -10 Trust Points.

Divine Consort Tang Manni: -100 Trust Points.

An unbelievable look greeted a shocked Ji Yuan, "This is impossible… impossible… I got a -10 Trust Points from 3 Divine Consorts and a -100 Trust Points from the easiest to approach Divine Consort Tang Manni?!"

He did not know that Divine Consort Tang Manni had gone around to flame him by warning the other Divine Consorts to be wary of a celestial cultivator called Ji Yuan.

When Xiao Muhan saw Ji Yuan's trust points with the Divine Consorts, he began to laugh so jovially that the entire room was shaking with his profound laughter. "-100 Trust Points with Divine Consort Tang Manni? Maybe she doesn't like cultivators without a beard. Hahahaha…"

Ji Yuan was still stammering with shock and his confidence was suddenly crushed, "-100 Trust Points… how is it even possible? I have to earn twice the amount of Trust Points to get to 100 Points? But the most impossible thing is, how the heck did Xiao Muhan get a higher Trust Points than me with all the Divine Consorts?!" 

Xiao Muhan continued to laugh jovially at Ji Yuan, "I have always know that I am more handsome and beautiful than Ji Yuan, Hahahahaha..."
