Chapter 193 Talking About Things, Refusing To Touch Porcelain
Fu Yunsheng saw Chu Shen's clear eyes and calm expression, knowing that his brain was in control at the moment. She chuckled and said, "Junior Brother, you're so straightforward. If I didn't know that you have more than one concubine, I would have doubted if you've ever had any dealings with girls. I don't know how the Chu sisters tolerate your temper."
Chu Shen rolled his eyes and replied, "I'm straightforward by nature. I don't like hiding things from my concubines. If there's anything unpleasant, I'll tell them directly. They don't have any burdens or unnecessary worries when they're with me. They don't have to be cautious about anything in their daily lives. They don't know how much they appreciate my straightforwardness. They even spoil me."
"As for Senior Sister, she doesn't like my straightforwardness. Can we understand it as her preferring those charming playboys who hide their true intentions and deceive people with sweet words? If that's the case, we have different paths and our words don't match. Why bother coming to me?"
Fu Yunsheng was irritated by his words. Chu Shen's remarks almost made her lose her temper. At the same time, she began to doubt herself. How could Chu Shen be so different from those fools at the Spirit Technique Peak?
Indeed, most of the male cultivators she interacted with at the Spirit Technique Peak were tech-savvy men who were easily swayed by her charming appearance, fantasizing about being with her just because they pleased her.
It was not difficult to manipulate their simple minds.
But Chu Shen was different. Although he had many weaknesses as a person, he far surpassed those male cultivators at the Spirit Technique Peak in terms of social skills and knowledge. Moreover, after coming to the Dongxuan Heaven and being blessed by the system, he no longer lacked the means to indulge himself like he did on the Blue Star. He had already enjoyed everything he should have, and his home was filled with doting wives and beautiful concubines. Even if Fu Yunsheng's seductive demeanor attracted him, it was only a fleeting novelty. How could he easily let her have her way?
Did she really think that being beautiful meant having everything?
The world has never lacked beauty, you know!
If the person named Chu really wants to have fun, not to mention the beautiful women at home, are there no charming women in the Qin Lou Chu Guan under the dual cultivation sects?
Fortunately, Fu Yunsheng's position is not enough, but she can make up for it with tears. She immediately put on a tearful appearance and said, "Junior Brother... How did I end up liking those smooth-talking playboys? I was just joking with you, but you took it so seriously, it really makes me sad."
Speaking of reason, her appearance is charming, and she has considerable capital. She has a natural charm and strong abilities. She can be considered a genius candidate of the Ling Shu Peak. This appearance and academic aura complement each other, resembling a scholarly version of Daji. With her tears, ordinary men would feel a sense of guilt.
However, Chu remained completely calm and was not fooled by her act.
The reason is not that Fu Yunsheng is not beautiful, but that it reminded him of his unpleasant past when he was young. He remembered that annoying female classmate who was like this. When she needed him, she would act all sweet and charming, but when she didn't, she would have a face that said, "Who are you?" It really made him want to punch something.
"Sister, if you have something to say, just say it. It's getting late, and I want to go home and have dinner with my family."
Fu Yunsheng's crying abruptly stopped as she looked at Chu with disbelief.
I can't even fool you with this move?
But seeing that Chu was getting a little impatient, and Bai Ying beside him also looked uncomfortable, Fu Yunsheng realized that she had made a fool of herself and that they were completely unaffected.
She could only find a way to save face for herself.
"Never mind, let's not talk about this topic anymore. I did have some doubts when I came to find my junior brother this time, and I wanted to ask for your advice.
First, how did you notice the flaws in my formation? Normally, it would be difficult for my senior brothers and sisters who are proficient in formations to break my formation after entering it.
Second, regarding your flying technique, I don't know why, but I feel that it is quite compatible with my ancient quicksand formation. May I ask if my junior brother is willing to share it?
And there is a third question... May I ask if my junior brother really has a method to evolve one's spiritual roots?"
Chu Shen thought to himself, it would have been better if it had been like this from the beginning. Why bother with beating around the bush and using indirect language?
"The first question is actually quite simple. The deficiencies in your ancient formation must have been supplemented with certain methods available now. Although it appears to be integrated, in reality, they still belong to their respective parts. I cannot break the mysteries of the ancient formation, but I can break the disharmony in the parts you added. This will greatly reduce the power of your formation."
Fu Yunsheng found it difficult to understand. "What you said is indeed correct, but is that only in theory? In actual combat, the situation changes rapidly. How can it be so easy to see which part of the formation is the original ancient formation and which parts I added later?"
Chu Shen thought to himself, can I tell you that I am also a formation master, and even an advanced one?
No, I can't.
So he changed his wording. "This is actually not difficult. Just try it out more. The feedback from the ancient formation and the parts you added will be different. By grasping this difference and attacking it, after numerous attempts, you will naturally be able to affect the formation."
Fu Yunsheng believed it to be true: "In that case, it seems that my formation skills are not sophisticated enough."
Formation is a technique used by formation masters to create compound formations, such as a fire formation concealing a knife or a thunder formation containing ice, and so on.
She used ancient formations as a foundation and supplemented them with modern formations to make up for any deficiencies. Essentially, it is a method of nesting formations within formations, which is also the reason why Chu Shen said that everyone should go their separate ways.
"As for this aerial dance technique, if you want to learn it, I can teach you. After all, this technique is more useful before the Spirit Gathering period. Once you reach the Spirit Gathering period, your meridians will transform into spiritual meridians, and cultivators like us will naturally gain the ability to fly. Compared to other flying techniques, this technique becomes insignificant."
However, this technique cannot be easily taught, and I, as your senior sister, cannot give it away for nothing, right? What price are you willing to pay in exchange?"
This statement is not wrong. Although the aerial dance technique has more uses than just this, its importance does decrease once one enters the Spirit Gathering period. Not to mention, various escape techniques are much more flexible than the aerial dance technique, so it wouldn't be a loss to exchange it.
Fu Yunsheng was prepared for this and took out a jade slip from her storage bag. "If junior brother doesn't mind, I'm willing to exchange it for this fragment."
Fragment?
Chu Shen took it and scanned it with his divine sense. It turned out to be an ancient geographical atlas that recorded ancient secret realms. Although it was incomplete, the parts he could see surprised him.
"Is this a geographical atlas that records ancient secret realms? Senior sister, where did you get this from?"
Fu Yunsheng smiled and said, "I obtained it from that ancient site along with the Flowing Sands Formation. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out anything from it, so I thought I could exchange it for something more practical. What do you think?"
