Chapter 115: 115. Seeing green makes me think of grasslands
Ling Xiaoyue’s rogue behavior confused the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Where is the sense in seizing without reasoning? And it’s one thing to take advantage of ordinary people, but the Heavenly Sword Sect is a famous Major Sect in both Jingnan State and Chu Kingdom, how dare you try to take advantage of them?
The Heavenly Sword Sect immediately dispatched people, planning to drive Ling Xiaoyue away, but unexpectedly, Ling Xiaoyue was very formidable, and several elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect were unable to subdue her.
In the end, the Heavenly Sword Sect had to resort to their trump card, asking True Master Yu Jian to make a direct move—but failed to win.
Yu Jian, not caring about losing face, had to pull in both the Mysterious Sword and the Thunder Sword to finally drive Ling Xiaoyue away.
Then the next day, she came back, angering True Master Yu Jian to the point of furious embarrassment, which was very unseemly.
Individually, no true master could handle Ling Xiaoyue, but if more than two went together, she would immediately flee and return once the coast was clear, displaying utter shamelessness.
Faced with such a rogue, the Heavenly Sword Sect was at a loss; they couldn’t have the Sect Master personally deal with a rogue— that would be degrading, and three true masters couldn’t stay permanently at Moon Viewing Peak.
So they negotiated with Ling Xiaoyue, but the goals of both sides were too far apart to reach any consensus.
Even though the Heavenly Sword Sect had a thousand-year heritage, they had not settled in the Cloud Sea Mountains from the start, but had moved there only six hundred years ago.
Six hundred years ago, the Cloud Sea Mountains were the territory of the Tongtian Sect, but since the Tongtian Sect had long perished, according to the unspoken rules of the Cultivation World, after the fall of the Tongtian Sect, the Cloud Sea Mountains were considered ownerless, and whoever claimed them first could consider them their territory.
But Ling Xiaoyue argued convincingly that not all descendants of the Tongtian Sect had perished, some were still scattered about, and she had purchased her land deed from the descendants of the Tongtian Sect.
“You Heavenly Sword Sect are occupying Tongtian Sect property as a rogue sect. I am here to retrieve what I paid for, which is perfectly justifiable.”
The negotiations failed, but the two sides did not resume fighting because the Heavenly Sword Sect cared too much about face, fearing that pushing too hard would cause Ling Xiaoyue to publicize the matter, making them a laughingstock.
Thus, the situation remained deadlocked. Fortunately, Ling Xiaoyue had no plans to establish a sect at Moon Viewing Peak and often disappeared, so the Heavenly Sword Sect turned a blind eye and let her be.
After hearing Yu Qing’s explanation, Fang Zhou finally understood what was going on, and this indeed seemed very much like Ling Xiaoyue’s style.
He could be certain that Ling Xiaoyue’s land deed was definitely not purchased, but likely acquired by chance, and she had rushed to the Heavenly Sword Sect in the spirit of taking an opportunity that came her way.
“Taoist Fang.”
Yu Qing suddenly spoke in a low voice, “Although it’s hard to distinguish right from wrong in this matter, our sect will not keep ignoring it forever. Taoist Fang needs to prepare in advance.”
This seemed like a covert hint that the Heavenly Sword Sect couldn’t tolerate Ling Xiaoyue occupying Moon Viewing Peak any longer.
If it were only her, the Heavenly Sword Sect could still turn a blind eye and pretend nothing happened.
Now that Fang Zhou was involved with plans to establish a sect, that was something they couldn’t ignore.
But what does it mean to prepare in advance? Are they suggesting I switch sides?
Fang Zhou glanced at Yu Qing, thinking that the Heavenly Sword Sect was really keeping a tight watch on him. What, are you so short of talented people? It’s not like you’re the Eastern Depot.
After Yu Qing conveyed her message and saw that Fang Zhou made no move to invite her inside, she chose to take her leave.
She leapt up lightly, and her jade hairpin transformed into a Spirit Sword under her feet.
She sat cross-legged on the Spirit Sword, bowed to Fang Zhou, and then flew towards the Cloud Sea.
Fang Zhou returned to the thatched cottage, where Ling Xiaoyue was still checking her goods. Seeing Fang Zhou enter, she casually asked, “Has that girl Yu Qing left?”
“Yes.”
Fang Zhou nodded and added, “She said the Heavenly Sword Sect won’t let this go, and they’ll eventually drive us away.”
Ling Xiaoyue showed a disdainful expression, “What’s there to fear? With me here, no one can drive us away. This is our territory.”
“It’s because of you that I’m worried.
If the Heavenly Sword Sect is determined to drive the master and disciple away, Fang Zhou doesn’t know what to do; he can only pin his hopes on Ling Xiaoyue’s personal martial strength, which is way too risky.
The Heavenly Sword Sect probably won’t act rashly right away; this matter can’t be rushed and can only be discussed later.
As he was pondering, Ling Xiaoyue turned her head and asked, “Have you dealt with all the demons in the gourd?”
Fang Zhou just remembered this matter, nodded, and handed the gourd to Ling Xiaoyue, then anxiously instructed, “Be careful, don’t kill them, it wasn’t easy for me to handle them.”
Ling Xiaoyue took the gourd and laughed, “As your master, my capabilities aren’t something you should doubt. You haven’t even used it fully yet, and you’re worried like this?”
She patted Fang Zhou on the shoulder and winked, ambiguously saying, “You should practice moderation, disciple, don’t overwork and harm your body.”
Damn it, you think everyone has a dirty mind like you.
Plus, with the gourd demons being so dangerous now, who would dare mess with them unless they want to be bitten to death during the fun?
Even if one wanted to mess around, at least wait until I’ve fully absorbed the Innate Yang Qi.
After Ling Xiaoyue finished checking the items, she began making the gourd for Fang Zhou. Originally, she thought it would take a long time, but after asking Fang Zhou for some blood, she finished it that same night.

After being processed, the gourd changed color, surprisingly turning green.
Fang Zhou confronted Ling Xiaoyue, “Seriously, did you do this on purpose? Why is it green?”
Ling Xiaoyue didn’t understand, “The gourd is naturally green; it’s a healthy color. It makes one think of the grasslands and wild horses running free. What’s not to like?”
Fang Zhou was unconvinced, “Keep that healthy color for yourself then, give me a more low-key color.”
Ling Xiaoyue scoffed, “What virtue.”
But in the end, she did change it for Fang Zhou to a dull gray color, which was very inconspicuous.
This was what Fang Zhou wanted; purple was too flashy, which did not suit his low-profile demeanor, and green was absolutely unacceptable.
When he got the gourd back, an odd sensation immediately surged through him; the gourd felt like a part of his own body, a totally different feeling from when it was connected to the Golden Core.
Moreover, now using the gourd didn’t require the use of the Golden Core’s Yin Cold Spiritual Energy anymore, just Fang Zhou’s own Spiritual Energy sufficed.
Fang Zhou gave it a try; the scope and strength of the absorption hadn’t changed, but it used up one-third of his Spiritual Energy in just one shot, and his whole body’s Spiritual Energy could only support three uses.
Fang Zhou thought Ling Xiaoyue had messed up the gourd and quickly went to settle the score with her.
After listening to Fang Zhou’s complaints, Ling Xiaoyue scoffed, “It’s not your natural treasure, of course using it would consume Spiritual Energy. You felt the consumption was little before because you borrowed the Golden Core’s energy; now it’s all on you. How much Spiritual Energy can a minor Qi Refining Realm like you possibly have?”
Alright, Fang Zhou had nothing to say, not expecting there to be such downsides to making the gourd his own.
Actually, it wasn’t really a downside; previously using the Golden Core’s Spiritual Energy was a shortcut. Now without shortcuts, once he breaks through to the Foundation Establishment Realm and his Spiritual Energy is sufficient, using the gourd will be no problem.
After sorting out the gourd, Fang Zhou began to pick a location for his living quarters.
Moon Viewing Peak was not small at all, it could even comfortably fit an amusement park.
There were lakes, mountain springs, and even a bamboo forest.
Fang Zhou chose to build his house in front of a waterfall formed by a mountain spring, not wanting to stay with Ling Xiaoyue.
After spending several days building a bamboo house for himself, Fang Zhou thought what followed would be boring cultivation days.
Little did he expect that trouble had just begun to find its way to him.”
