Chapter 1080: Chapter 318: Feng Zhaoyang Arc (1)
Yuchi boarded the train, just like everyone else, moving towards the location where the courtesan was. In fact, you could hear news about this courtesan on the train, through the lively discussions among the people in front, Yuchi gained a rough understanding of the situation.
"Indeed there’s a courtesan who wants to become someone greater than a courtesan, causing quite a stir."
The courtesan wants to become someone greater than a courtesan, so this woman herself must be quite formidable. From Yuchi’s perspective, it might not just be her own capabilities, but rather she might have others standing behind her. Whether men or women, if one only relies on a courtesan’s own abilities, it’s very difficult to shake up other courtesans in the state capital.
The reason is simple, the resistance among courtesans is formidable. It’s like everyone originally living well, all human, then suddenly someone decides not to be human, saying there’s a werewolf above humans and claiming that werewolves are more high-end, wanting to become like a werewolf.
Imagine how others would perceive this?
If you become a werewolf, are we then hunted by you? If you become greater than a courtesan, then we ordinary courtesans are instantly a tier lower. How would we talk to guests then? How can we proudly call ourselves courtesans?
Thus, being able to push such an idea forward directly is not something a courtesan alone can achieve. There’s no telling who is orchestrating this from behind.
So while other people were curious about the outcome of this matter, Yuchi was very curious about who could be supporting this courtesan.
"Not only does this courtesan have someone behind them, any woman who mixes to the status of courtesan in the state capital, which among them doesn’t have nobility standing behind them? All of them have some support. So what’s the case with this fellow? Are they directly trying to use the courtesan to start a war?"
"Really stubborn."
"When the fathers of these courtesans speak out, wouldn’t it be a complete mess? Truly, as the saying goes, ’women affect my sword drawing speed?’"
Yuchi pondered easily, he had a hunch he could make some money from this affair, and he still needed about two hundred thousand to advance the Ascension Gate to the fourth stage. Once reaching the fourth stage, not only would the disciples’ cultivation speed step up, but Yuchi himself would also see his cultivation speed increase significantly, and such a result would indeed be marvelous.
"Still, we have to be very careful. Who knows if the war between courtesans would quickly escalate into a war involving the nobility behind the whole state capital. Or maybe it’s just a war between the nobles? Is it a chess game played by the nobles using courtesans? If so, the forces behind this courtesan would indeed be quite formidable."
Of course, Yuchi was just exaggerating the severity of the situation, not necessarily reflecting its true nature. Perhaps the most severe scenario was the one he described, where the courtesan was a pawn and someone was playing chess behind the scenes—or maybe the courtesan suddenly had a mental lapse and decided to become a "superior being."
It’s all uncertain.
Then after half a day of wandering, Yuchi and Yin Shuang arrived at the storefront on the western side of the state capital market. Outside the shop, there were already many people resembling nobility, along with a number of young masters standing outside chatting with smiles.
"Yunxiang Pavilion."
This is the name of the courtesan shop. Oh my, it’s seven stories tall, resembling a large altar, with layers of circular architecture stacked together, ultimately forming this seven-story shop. The exterior was brightly decorated, as if welcoming a new year.
Yin Shuang: "They’re all big sisters."
Yuchi: "Yes, when can you grow to look like big sisters."
Yin Shuang: "I don’t know... then medicine."
Yuchi: "?"
Ancestor, didn’t you previously obtain quite a few Foundation Establishment Stage Elixirs from Sun Miaoxing of Medicine Master Valley? That was a whole box of elixirs, how much time has passed? Ten to fifteen days, less than twenty days, and you’ve finished all those elixirs?
Yin Shuang covered her face, her ears were all red: "Accidentally... ate a bit too much."
Yuchi: "..."
He nodded with a tear: "No need to rush, let’s firmly observe first, then we’ll find a shop nearby to settle down later, and then feed you medicine."
Yin Shuang: "Brother Yuchi is the best, the best in the world!"
Yuchi rolled his eyes at Yin Shuang’s mischievous grin, a thought popped into his mind: "The pit of collectible figures is as deep as the ocean, don’t ever dive in."
It’s no surprise that even though recently he learned about the existence of Spiritual Painting Avatars, he hasn’t found any clues about them. Apparently, Spiritual Painting Avatars are indeed super gluttons. Yuchi himself doesn’t need cultivation, yet he’s managed to procure so much gold and silver, yet supporting Yin Shuang is already a teeth-grinding endeavor, not to mention other cultivators who also need to attend to their own cultivation. Raising a Spiritual Painting Avatar proves to be more of a pit than other hobbies.
