Chapter 746: Chapter 742: Replacement

At this time, on the third floor of Dengyun Building, Chu Zhiyuan, Li Yuzhen, and Fu Zheng sat inside a room.

The windows were open, allowing the music played by the women in the courtyard below to be heard.

The sound of strings and bamboo instruments was distinctly audible.

Below, discussions were lively and varied.

Chu Zhiyuan caught snippets of their conversation, as it concerned the Heart-Clearing Technique.

Not only him, but Li Yuzhen and Fu Zheng, being Venerables, also caught everything with their keen senses.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head slightly.

”Prince Consort, I didn’t expect...” Li Yuzhen frowned lightly, finding it hard to understand: ”Such an opportunity, and they choose to doubt instead of seizing it.”

If it were the citizens of the Phoenix Dynasty, upon seeing the Court promote a certain Miracle Technique, they would have hastily started to cultivate, fearing they might be too late.

Fu Zheng said, ”Your Highness, perhaps if a price or sacrifice in silver or other forms were required to cultivate the Heart-Clearing Technique, it might be better.”

There is no free lunch in the world; what you receive for free today, you must pay back in full with interest in the future.

Thus, there will be hesitation and doubt.

Li Yuzhen laughed, ”But they have a lot of faith in the Prince Consort.”

From the Rain Listening Platform she heard that the Ninth Prince had no good reputation.

This left her, who had personally interacted with Chu Zhiyuan, quite puzzled and she thought the people were ignorant.

She also felt wronged for Chu Zhiyuan.

Also doubting whether someone was spreading rumors and deliberately defaming him.

Hearing their faith in Chu Zhiyuan, she couldn’t help but feel joy.

”Faith? Ha.”

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled softly.

The victor becomes the king; his current reputation owes much to that contest.

If he had been defeated by Yuanzhen’s two princes on the street that day, he would have been despised and loathed.

So reputation is fleeting, cultivation is the foundation for gaining greater renown, obtaining more Faith Power to make the Divine Skills stronger.

He introspected, the Xiao White Snake circled in Shan Zhong, still at six halos, lingering at the Seventh Transition, with much to go before breaking through to the Eighth Transition.

With just over a month before heading to the Phoenix Dynasty, such progress makes it unlikely for him to enter the Phoenix Dynasty as a Venerable.

This is very disadvantageous.

He sighed, shaking his head, how can the world be as one wishes?

The more one wants faster progress, the slower it becomes, especially the later stages of the Eighth Transition, it’s slowed too much.

This is due to the enhanced soul; progress is much greater than before. Without a stronger soul and deeper understanding of the Infinite Brightness Scripture, progress would be even slower.

”Let’s go.” Chu Zhiyuan stood up.

Fu Zheng hurriedly said, ”Your Highness, there will be a sword dance soon.”

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at her, ”The sword dance from Bamboo Sect?”

”Yes, it’s from my senior sisters.” Fu Zheng nodded, ”It’s still worth seeing.”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and walked out.

Li Yuzhen quickly tugged Fu Zheng, indicating to follow.

The three left Dengyun Building.

As they descended, they heard many people discussing the Heart-Clearing Technique.

Chu Zhiyuan sensed the changes on the main side.

In his mind, he sat cross-legged in the void, with halos behind him growing brighter and thicker.

But this change came mainly from spreading the Five Elements Perfect Skill.

The people of Little Outer Heaven appreciated him for disseminating the Five Elements Perfect Skill, revering and thanking him.

The gratitude from the Heart-Clearing Technique was sparse.

This made Chu Zhiyuan shake his head continuously.

Though this matter cannot be rushed, people need to verify it first and see the effects before growing more appreciative.

Yet it still left him quite disappointed.

He exited the restaurant and said casually, ”Let’s head to Qionghua Building.”

The two women looked at him curiously, with Li Yuzhen in front and Fu Zheng behind, following him through the bustling crowd.

Finally, they arrived at Qionghua Building, more than three hundred meters away.

The layout and atmosphere of Qionghua Building were much like that of Dengyun Building.

Both exuded an air of indulgent revelry.

Reaching the third floor of Qionghua Building, Chu Zhiyuan directly went up to the third floor, entering an elegant room.

Fu Zheng and Li Yuzhen were both curious.

It was evidently a room booked in advance, prepared for something.

They were completely unaware.

Just as Chu Zhiyuan sat down, a charming woman entered, performing a salute: ”Little lady Li Ningcui greets Your Highness.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, ”Miss Li, have a seat and speak.”

Fu Zheng and Li Yuzhen discreetly observed Li Ningcui.

She appeared to be twenty-six or twenty-seven, with a light and graceful figure, her movements possessing a peculiar rhythm, easily captivating others.

Clearly, she practiced some sort of Miracle Technique, or even a Demon Technique, with advanced cultivation, having reached the Upper Three Transitions of the Transformation Realm.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Miss Li, do you know the reason I invited you here?”

”I do not, whatever matter Your Highness has, I am at your command.”

”How is Qianji Tower maintaining its operations?”

”It is.” Li Ningcui nodded lightly, ”Despite some disturbances, the main body remains stable.”

”Is it due to the death of your Sect Master and Elder?”

”Yes.” Li Ningcui said helplessly, ”They think our Feiyun Sect is about to collapse and is unfit to continue as the Hall Master of Qianji Tower.”

”Turning faces like turning pages, quite quickly,” Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”Aren’t Demons supposed to value relationships more?”

Li Ningcui sighed with a bitter smile.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Fu Zheng.

Fu Zheng quickly said, ”Your Highness, we don’t have many people in Qianji Tower.”

”And now?” Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Does Fu Sect Leader have no thoughts on this?”

”This...” Fu Zheng hesitated.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”With strength comes a matching status.”

He turned to Li Ningcui, ”Miss Li, now Bamboo Sect has produced two more Venerables.”

Li Ningcui nodded slightly, ”I’ve heard.”

”If your Feiyun Sect and Bamboo Sect joined forces, could you suppress opposition in Qianji Tower?”

Li Ningcui answered without hesitation, ”That would naturally not be a problem.”

”If those dissenters were also removed, could there be a place for Bamboo Sect?” Chu Zhiyuan said.

Li Ningcui slowly said, ”The ones opposing now are from Sunset Sect, which has always been against us. However... Sunset Sect is stronger.”

She judged that even if both sects joined, they could not suppress Sunset Sect.

If the Sect Leader and Elder Xi were alive, they could suppress Sunset Sect completely.

With their deaths, Bamboo Sect cannot contain Sunset Sect, despite having three Venerables.

”That doesn’t matter,” Chu Zhiyuan said, ”I will assist.”

He then looked at Fu Zheng, ”Talk to your master and collaborate with Feiyun Sect.”

Fu Zheng said helplessly, ”Your Highness, Master she...”

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand, ”Go, invite Fu Sect Leader for discussion.”

”Yes.” Fu Zheng turned and left.

...

Fu Biqiong soon appeared in the elegant room.

Clad in a green gauze robe, she bowed with a troubled expression, ”Your Highness, if we truly join forces with Feiyun Sect, who leads and who follows?”

”Both of you are equals,” Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Supporting each other mutually,... but this time dealing with Sunset Sect, it’s on Bamboo Sect to act.”

”I’m not confident against Sunset Sect,” Fu Biqiong said.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Li Yuzhen, ”Yuzhen, help Fu Zheng deal a heavy blow to Sunset Sect.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Fu Sect Leader, you can take over Qianji Tower and replace Sunset Sect.”

”Yes!” Fu Biqiong responded excitedly.

With that, Bamboo Sect’s reputation and strength would rise to a new level, having Qianji Tower as a stronghold and three Venerables in support.

”””
