Just a Useful Pawn in the Stain Sect

Lü Yang directly slapped Bu Tianque hard across the face.

"Ah!"

With a heavy THUD, Bu Tianque’s figure flipped in the air. In an instant, she transformed back into that stunningly beautiful woman, tossing like rolling white waves as she tumbled right off the large bed.

"Daoist, you are so heartless..."

Clutching her flushed cheek, Bu Tianque’s beautiful eyes brimmed with tears. "Could it be that you don’t like this type? That’s normal—everyone has their own preferences. But it doesn’t matter."

Her voice shifted along with her physical form.

"No matter what kind of woman you desire, I can satisfy you. Do you want someone mature, Daoist? Or someone young? Innocent? Scheming? Or perhaps pitiable?"

With every adjective spoken, Bu Tianque’s appearance morphed.

These forms included a mature woman oozing with charm, a young girl like a budding flower, a sheltered young lady, a courtesan hiding daggers behind her smiles, and a wealthy heiress from a fallen family...

It didn’t even stop there.

After exhausting the female forms, he actually began shifting into men—a pitiful and delicate boy, a hyper-masculine and heroic brute, and even a pudgy, greasy middle-aged man...

Lü Yang’s eyes twitched at the sight.

Yet, this wasn’t the end. Seeing that Lü Yang’s expression remained unchanged, Bu Tianque smiled even more radiantly. "Could it be that you have special tastes, Daoist, and prefer those with fur and horns?"

Before the words even settled, he began to transform again. One moment he had the head of an ox, the next the face of a horse. Then he became a rabbit Demon, followed by a fox Demon temptress. It was truly a bizarre and endless parade; there was nothing he couldn’t turn into, and every single form exuded an inexplicable, seductive charm.

GASP...!

This time, Lü Yang truly felt a chill. Unlike anyone else before, the vibe this First Generation Heaven Mending Peak Master gave him could only be described with one word—

Wicked!

Unlike the styles of the other Perfected Lords in the Stain Sect, Bu Tianque’s conduct wasn’t just beastly—it was utterly depraved. It was the kind of twisted that would terrify even the Demon Dao.

"Calm down. I can’t let him influence me," Lü Yang thought.

Taking a deep breath, the icy glare returned to his eyes. Without another word, he raised his hand and delivered yet another slap, sending Bu Tianque flying.

However, Bu Tianque didn’t care at all. "It’s useless. Even though I am merely a wisp of spiritual perception, my Position is still here. You cannot search my soul. Thus, if you want the contents of the Cultivation Technique, your only option is to use the Heaven-Mending Skill to dual-cultivate and harvest me. Come now, I’ve been empty and lonely for so many years..."

Lü Yang furrowed his brow.

Truth be told, at this moment, he really wanted to directly turn this First Generation Peak Master into a Refined Banner Spirit. Unfortunately, this was only a strand of spiritual perception, making it impossible to store within the Righteous Banner.

After pondering it over and over, Lü Yang shook his head.

"...Forget it."

"I don’t care about some upgraded version of the Heaven-Mending Skill anymore!" he decided.

With that thought, he stopped holding back. He began to pour in massive power, preparing to obliterate this strand of Bu Tianque’s spiritual perception directly. Out of sight, out of mind.

Sensing the fracturing of his own spiritual perception, Bu Tianque, who had just been playfully teasing, instantly frowned. In a flash, he returned to a cold and arrogant demeanor.

But soon after, he smiled again.

"Interesting, very interesting... You are not a disciple of my Heaven Mending Peak.

"You clearly aren’t a Heaven Repairing Disciple, yet you wish to learn the Heaven-Mending Skill. Are you seeking a specific Fruit? The Fruit of Vast-Sea Water or the Fruit of Pomegranate Wood?

"It should be the Fruit of Pomegranate Wood.

"After all, that Old Loach from Overseas is quite good at clinging to life. It would be very hard to wrest the Fruit of Vast-Sea Water from his hands... Interesting. What do you need the Fruit of Pomegranate Wood for?"

Bu Tianque stared intently at Lü Yang.

If his true body were here, Lü Yang might have been a little apprehensive. But a mere wisp of spiritual perception was not enough to see through his true depths. Therefore, Lü Yang remained completely calm.

On the other side, Bu Tianque didn’t dwell on the matter for long. "Never mind. Whatever you want to do, if you are going to claim the Fruit of Pomegranate Wood, it suits my intentions perfectly.

"Forget it. I won’t bother with those tests."

As his words fell, Bu Tianque formed a Daoist Hand Seal and separated out a strand of spiritual perception. It immediately transformed into a thick Book that landed right before Lü Yang’s eyes.

On the cover of the Book was a line of large characters: Void Purification and Calm Business Jade Book!

Lü Yang quickly skimmed it. "Void Realm Cultivators can perform Swallowing Dao; those who calm business can perform Heaven Repairing. Achieving the Void and calming business earns Heaven’s favor, ensuring all matters go smoothly according to one’s will..."

"What the fuck did I just read?" he thought.

Because he read it so quickly, Lü Yang didn’t even react at first. But it was too late; the contents of the Cultivation Technique had already been deeply engraved into his mind.

However, he quickly regained his composure. Summoning his purest academic spirit, he reviewed the Void Purification and Calm Business Jade Book without any bias.

Then, he had to admit:

"This is... actually a supremely exquisite technique!"

The essence of the Void Purification and Calm Business Jade Book lied in Heaven Repairing and Swallowing Dao. However, the primary function of both was to copulate with Heaven and Earth.

Within it were four secret formulas: Swallow, Pinch, Move, and Jing.

The so-called "Swallow" formula involved swallowing the essence of Heaven and Earth to cleanse them of impurities, thereby pleasing Heaven and Earth in exchange for their support.

The "Pinch" formula, as the name implied, was about massaging Heaven and Earth and regulating Spiritual Qi to make Heaven and Earth comfortable, thereby securing their support.

The "Move" formula required one to move on their own, using fierce, relentless thrusts to force Heaven and Earth into agreeing to their requests.

The "Jing" formula was the exact opposite: staying still while Heaven and Earth moved, allowing them to vent their accumulated heat and frustration, and then collecting their compensation afterward.

In short, this entire Dharma Gate was specifically designed to target Heaven and Earth. On the flip side, it lacked the True Monarch of Golden Core Cultivation method that Lü Yang had been longing for.

The Void Purification and Calm Business Jade Book also offered an explanation for this: A Perfected Lord held too high a Position, having almost entirely transcended the mortal realm, making them impossible to harvest. In contrast, entities like Heaven and Earth were much easier to deal with. Rather than attempting a True Monarch of Golden Core Cultivation, it was better to find a way to harvest Heaven and Earth.

For a time, Lü Yang read, completely mesmerized.

Only after a long while did he snap back to his senses. He noticed that Bu Tianque’s spiritual perception was nearly shattered now, yet he was looking at him with a smile. This made Lü Yang raise an eyebrow.

"Looking at it this way... you aren’t dead, Daoist?"

Bu Tianque chuckled. "Of course not.

"That old immortal bastard is still alive. How could I willingly die just like that? It’s just that my current state might not be the best."

Hearing this, Lü Yang immediately became vigilant.

"Relax, I won’t make any demands for you to rescue my main body, Daoist.

"Besides, even if I did ask, it would be useless." Bu Tianque stared intently at Lü Yang and shook his head. "After all, given your aura, Daoist, one can tell at a glance that you are a Saint Sect True Monarch. How could you possibly keep a promise?

"Therefore... I will only say one thing."

Bu Tianque’s tone grew distant, as if recalling many memories from the past.

"Back then, the Fruit I controlled was none other than the Fruit of Pomegranate Wood. Later, when I broke free, I left something inside the Fruit of Pomegranate Wood for future generations.

"If you truly claim the Fruit of Pomegranate Wood, Daoist, you may take it for yourself when the time comes.

"However, I must warn you, Daoist—if you take that item, I’m afraid that old immortal bastard will come looking for you... Be careful not to let him slap you to death."

As his words faded, the wisp of spiritual perception shattered.

In the dim ancestral hall, only Lü Yang remained standing in place, his expression shifting unpredictably. "What exactly... could attract the attention of someone like that?" he wondered.

"Damn it, isn’t there a single normal opportunity in this Broken Place?!"
