Chapter 21 Taking Over the Inheritance
The beautiful woman, in her thirties, was named Wang Qiuyan. She possessed a seductive charm and was a practitioner of dual cultivation techniques, having reached the first level of Qi Refining.
This woman only arrived on the island a few years ago.
Originally, she was just Lao Xiu's maid, but through her own tricks, she managed to get Lao Xiu to take her as a concubine in his later years.
The beautiful woman was extremely enthusiastic.
She took the initiative to help Ji Yun, and as if by accident, she turned slightly to the side, revealing her enviable waist and hips.
But deep down, he was terrified.
Because she knew for certain that the old immortal's method of possession was only a fragment.
The person before them could not possibly be the Old Immortal, but a completely unfamiliar yet powerful demonic cultivator, capable of killing the Old Immortal.
His temperament, how he will deal with people... everything is unknown.
"Lead the way."
Ji Yun chuckled lightly, ignoring her thoughts, and stepped into the courtyard.
The Intermediate Court occupies a large area.
This courtyard is twice the size of his own sky island. The main house where Lao Xiu lives is a two-story attic that connects to the courtyard behind the east and west wing rooms.
It was completely different from the servants' quarters.
The courtyard features artificial hills and pavilions, interspersed with rare plants and flowers, and a row of red lanterns hangs from the eaves, creating a rather elegant atmosphere.
"Master is back."
"Welcome home, sir."
There were also four maids in the middle courtyard.
At this moment, they stood respectfully to the side with their heads bowed, each with a different appearance, but all of them were tall, voluptuous, and mature beauties.
No wonder his time is coming to an end.
"At your age, you still can't settle down."
"In the end, they set a trap."
Ji Yun scanned the group with his divine sense and immediately noticed something amiss.
The four maids, including Wang Qiuyan, all possessed the secret art of dual cultivation, which could arouse desire and bewitch people's hearts, and over the years, they could make cultivators addicted to it.
Although Lao Xiu was a demonic cultivator, he was not skilled in dual cultivation techniques and knew nothing about this matter.
They weren't recruited by Lao Xiu, but rather sent by Baiyanlou in the market.
This Baiyanlou is a brothel.
The old cultivator is over a hundred years old, has a wealthy family, possesses remarkable skills, and has had various extraordinary encounters. His strength is already among the best of the independent cultivators in the market.
Baiyanlou wanted to please him.
She then offered him a maidservant.
Old Xiu readily accepted, and Baiyanlou would lend a helping hand whenever it encountered problems, acting as a guardian deity for Baiyanlou both openly and secretly.
Little did he know that the true target of the Hundred Beauties Pavilion was him.
These women possess secret techniques.
"They are pressing him towards his end day and night."
"Once he's dead, Wang Qiuyan, as his concubine, can collude with the Hundred Beauties Pavilion to sweep away all his wealth."
Ji Yun understood.
The mastermind behind this is the beauty Zhou that Liu San just mentioned.
Zhou Meiren is the owner of Baiyan Tower, with a cultivation level of the second stage of Qi Refining, and her strength is not bad.
This woman is also a rogue cultivator.
Everyone in the market knew about it.
Baiyanlou has no connection with Baimingmen, the main family of the market, and they even compete with each other in business. That's why they are trying to win over other independent cultivators to protect themselves.
"He may not actually be a rogue cultivator."
"This woman may have other connections."
"This Demon Cultivator Market is no ordinary place; it's backed by forces from the third level of the Night Sea."
Ji Yun looked around.
This house is really nice.
The red lanterns, when lit, cast a soft, alluring glow, and with the presence of these voluptuous maids, one might mistake this place for a brothel.
I spent too much time in the Demonic Sect in my past life.
He quite likes this style.
"Sir, shall we have our meal first?"
Wang Qiuyan was uneasy. Seeing that Ji Yun remained silent, she tentatively spoke up.
She had already noticed Li Meier.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Li Meier was actually a cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining.
This new master is probably much stronger than the old codger before.
"Summon Lady Zhou here."
"Replace all the maids in this courtyard."
Ji Yun spoke calmly, then walked towards his master bedroom.
After breaking through to the second level of Qi Refining, his strength far surpassed that of the old cultivator.
If I were to meet Lao Xiu again today.
Ji Yun could easily kill him.
With this strength as a foundation, he can take over Old Xiu's entire legacy, including the connections and status Old Xiu has cultivated over the years.
It's mainly for convenience.
He needs to expand his reach in the Demon Cultivation Market to obtain the resources needed for his cultivation.
Rather than starting from scratch, it's better to take over this existing business.
"Yes."
Wang Qiuyan dared not say more and quickly took out a communication talisman to contact Zhou Meiren.
……
Half an hour later.
Inside the secret chamber of the Sky Island.
Ji Yun rearranged the formation.
With his mastery of formations, combined with the immortal materials that the old cultivator obtained from the Demon Sect ruins, he increased the power of the formation by at least three times.
Even if many Qi Refining Level 2 cultivators joined forces, they would still find it difficult to break this formation.
The new formation has many ingenious uses.
This formation is not only for defense and protection, but also for launching proactive attacks.
When spiritual energy is abundant.
Its power is almost equal to that of the third level of Qi Refining.
The intruder can be killed, and then their soul can be extracted and suppressed deep within.
"It also saves some immortal materials."
"It can be placed on your own sky island."
Ji Yun quietly cast a spell to activate the array.
The entire formation activated immediately, with spiritual energy flowing smoothly and operating freely.
When in charge of the formation, his divine sense can be expanded through the formation to keep track of everything in the town.
For example, right now.
Zhou Meiren was sitting in the reception room, whispering to Wang Qiuyan beside her.
The woman appeared to be in her mid-twenties, with stunning beauty. She wore a black dress that accentuated her slender and graceful figure, revealing a full and high bosom that showcased her proudly curvaceous, snow-white skin.
He truly lives up to his name.
She is indeed a beauty.
Ji Yun rose and walked out of the secret room through the hidden passage, then from the study into the reception room, bowing slightly to Consort Zhou:
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, I've kept you waiting."
Zhou Meiren also immediately stood up:
"Fellow Daoist is indeed exceptionally handsome and possesses extraordinary talent. I was somewhat skeptical when Qiu Yan spoke of it earlier, but now I know that every word she said is true."
"May I ask your name, friend?"
Zhou Meiren spoke softly, her peach blossom eyes smiling as she looked at Ji Yun.
"Just like before."
"Just call me Old Demon Song."
Ji Yun sat calmly in the main seat.
Song Laomo was the name Lao Xiu used in his lifetime, and he chose to continue using it.
"Fellow Daoist, your appearance and demeanor are completely unrelated to the word 'old'."
Zhou Meiren's eyes sparkled, she raised her hand to cover her mouth and chuckled alluringly, then continued:
"Qiuyan said before that Fellow Daoist Song is willing to continue serving as an honorific at my Hundred Beauties Pavilion?"
"Therefore, I have specially prepared a generous gift for you, ladies. Come in and meet your new master."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of eight maids entered through the door.
These maids all had different appearances.
Some are as graceful and gentle as a lotus emerging from the water, some are as charming and bright as a peach blossom with dew, and some are as soft and beautiful as a crabapple blossom with creamy skin.
They were all beautiful young women, some with graceful figures, some with slender bodies, and some with petite and delicate features, each with their own charm.
Ji Yun scanned the women with his divine sense.
Both were innocent, and her appearance surpassed that of the Zhao family's daughter by several levels, but her talent was far inferior to that of the Zhao family's daughter.
These maids were in a pitiful state.
They had all practiced dual cultivation techniques and were both at the first level of Qi Refining. Their bodies had been placed under restrictions by the Hundred Beauties Pavilion.
Judging from this situation, most of them were kidnapped or bought from the surrounding area by Baiyanlou. Their lives were like duckweed, their fates were not in their own hands, and they could only accept their fate.
If Ji Yun doesn't keep them here today.
These girls will likely fall into the hands of other demonic cultivators sooner or later and suffer greatly.
Thinking about it this way, keeping them here would actually be a way to save them.
"I will accept this gift from Fellow Daoist Zhou."
"I've heard that you have quite a few vacant shops in the market. I happen to be a talisman master and can draw mid-grade first-tier talismans."
Ji Yun looked at Zhou Meiren and continued:
"Fellow Daoist, why don't you open a talisman shop? I'll entrust these talismans to your shop for sale. What do you say?"
The maids were merely external possessions.
It cannot be used as a bargaining chip.
Only if Lady Zhou agrees to this matter can Ji Yun accept the position of worshipper at Baiyan Tower.
