Chapter 10. The debtor is the master.
Shocking! A well-known Cultivation Technique surprisingly harbors a secret flaw unknown to others. What is this secret that causes those who know about it to blush and stay silent, yet secretly study it under the covers at night?
Fang Zhou fell into a trap again.
But this time, the pit was shallow, only causing hair loss, which was not unacceptable, as long as no one saw it.
Besides this hair-loss flaw, the New Moon Qi Qi Refining Technique was actually quite powerful. After several days of cultivation, Fang Zhou's physique was a little stronger, and his strength had increased, though it was not enough to show up as a whole unit of increase in attributes.
When he encountered something he didn't understand during cultivation, Fang Zhou would try to figure it out by himself, and only when he really couldn't understand would he go to Ling Xiaoyue for advice.
Why so? Not because Fang Zhou was self-reliant, but because Ling Xiaoyue, that fool, actually charged!! money!! for answering questions!
You heard right, it cost money to ask her questions.
Living through two worlds, Fang Zhou™ had never heard of a disciple having to pay to ask his or her mentor questions. Not only that, Ling Xiaoyue charged Fang Zhou for food, accommodation, medical expenses, clothing, and so on, inventing various reasons to collect money.
Fang Zhou seriously suspected that this woman must have died poor in her past life and fell into a money pit as soon as she was born in this one.
Ling Xiaoyue, however, had a ready argument: "I'm not your mother; why would I raise you? Don't eating, medical care, and clothing cost money?"
Fang Zhou was a bit annoyed: "I've already given you 1,200 silver taels as a ceremony gift when becoming your disciple!"
