Chapter 74: Chapter 73: Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix, Three Thousand Techniques (2300 words)_1
To be honest, as a gentleman of the Righteous Path, I, in principle, had no desire to reply. However, considering I inherited Daimon Qianmian’s reputation as an old lecher, it would seem out of character not to reply to a message from an enchantress of the Hehuan Sect. If an enchantress from the sect tempted me with a pair of virginal twin sisters and I remained completely unmoved, that would be even more illogical. I’d be easily suspected, and my cover would be blown.With that in mind, Wang Xiu righteously sent a message back to ’Today I’m Free, Let’s Listen to Music at the Brothel’: "Thirsting for you. This Seat will come to find you girls once I’m done with my business (づ￣3￣)づ╭～."
After replying to ’Today I’m Free, Let’s Listen to Music at the Brothel,’ Wang Xiu turned his gaze back to the Demonic Path chat group.
Clearly, the enchantress’s message had piqued the interest of many. The once lukewarm group instantly erupted with activity.
Demon Cultivator A: I have a friend who wants to know if it’s still the same old price?
Demon Cultivator B: Are there any new service packages? It’s just the same old moves back and forth; there’s really no thrill!
Demon Cultivator C: No pic, no proof. Is there really something new? I don’t believe it!

Demon Cultivator Eleven: No, don’t! Don’t retract them! I’d just zoomed in and hadn’t gotten a clear look yet!
Demon Cultivator Twelve: Damn, where’d they go?
Demon Cultivator Thirteen: What a pity. She retracted them too fast. If I’d looked for a moment longer, I would have finished too.
Demon Cultivator Fourteen: What’s going on?
Demon Cultivator Fifteen: Surely I’m not the only one who always lasts for a full hour, right?
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging. Congratulations, Host, you have gained Mana +66.]
Demon Cultivator Sixteen: Who are you looking down on! An hour? Who is that enough for? If our fellow Daoists from the Hehuan Sect see that, they’ll think we can’t afford them. My willpower is extremely strong; I can hold on for a full two hours every single time!
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging. Congratulations, Host, you have gained Mana +66.]
Demon Cultivator Seventeen: I’m not boasting! I’m not targeting anyone in particular, but everyone here is trash. This Seat can hold the line for four hours!
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging. Congratulations, Host, you have gained Mana +66.]
...
Demon Cultivator Twenty-Four: I’m not trying to brag, but I learned internal arts before I could even walk. With two hundred years of cultivation, even when facing the fiercest of succubi, I can contend for at least eight hours!
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging. Congratulations, Host, you have gained Mana +66.]
...
Demon Cultivator Thirty-Six: A bunch of unsophisticated brutes! A disgrace to civilized men! I have trained with a spear since childhood. The moment it is in my hand, we become one, slaying hundreds of millions with a flick of my finger! After turning eighteen, I dominated the Demonic Path, utterly invincible. How could my unparalleled spear technique possibly be matched by the likes of you?
...
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging shamelessly, triggering a critical brag and reaching the System’s climax. Congratulations to the Host for gaining Mana +233, Mana Quality +233.]
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the ’Hundred Birds Toward the Phoenix, Three Thousand Styles’ Complete Experience Card!]
Wang Xiu: ???
What in the world is ’Hundred Birds Toward the Phoenix, Three Thousand Styles’? A skill card with such a degenerate-sounding name... who would even be interested in that?! I am a noble gentleman! I would never even consider fusing with such an experience card!
However, if I’m really going to infiltrate the Demonic Path, I do need to learn some of their techniques. After all, disciples of the Divination Sect roam the martial world by putting on airs and dealing with the supernatural. They live by their own version of the old saying ’one can’t have too many skills’—for them, it’s ’one can’t have too many whores’! For the sake of the mission, for the sake of justice... even if it means dabbling in unorthodox and wicked arts, what must be understood must be understood, and what must be experienced must be experienced!
Cough, cough.
Putting aside the bizarre experience card for a moment, the ’Traditional Craftsmen Exchange Group’ really was a great place. Everyone in there was a character; they were smooth talkers, and they loved to brag. Wang Xiu could clearly feel his cultivation level soaring. He was only separated from the second level of the Core Formation Stage by a thin membrane, one that could be pierced with a gentle poke.
If the group’s brothel-related topics could just continue, Wang Xiu felt it wouldn’t be long before he could ascend on the spot and become an esteemed Golden Core Stage Perfected Person.
However, once ’Today I’m Free, Let’s Listen to Music at the Brothel’ retracted the pictures, the group’s contest of virility also quickly fizzled out, and the number of active chatters dropped drastically.
Cough, cough. Of course, it was also possible that the group chat had simply moved to private messages. According to the intelligence Daimon Qianmian had gathered, there wasn’t a single decent person in this group of demon cultivators. Nine out of ten were old perverts, and the last one was a super-pervert. Most of their life savings were spent on "drinking tea"!
Otherwise, how could the Hehuan Sect, a group of enchantresses from the Demonic Path who weren’t even skilled in combat, be so fabulously wealthy? Their sect’s comprehensive strength was considered top-tier in the entire Demonic Path. Behind these independent women were countless demon "spear" cultivators, silently offering their contributions!
Truthfully, Wang Xiu really wanted to jump into the conversation and egg on these demon cultivators to brag even more. However, his current identity was a special one, a persona based on Daimon Qianmian. And that fellow had always been notoriously low-key, rarely taking the initiative to chat idly in this exchange group.
Therefore, adhering to the principle of "the less you say, the fewer mistakes you make," Wang Xiu decided to remain silent. He would observe and study them for a few more days before making his next move.
[Ding! The Young Sect Master of the Asura Sect has joined the group.]
Just then, a new member joined the Traditional Craftsmen Exchange Group. His unique username immediately caught the attention of many of the older members, and the chat group once again lit up.
Demon Cultivator C: Welcome, newcomer! Send a red packet!
Demon Cultivator D: Young Sect Master of the Asura Sect? Since when did the Asura Sect have a Young Sect Master?
Demon Cultivator E: Are young people these days so arrogant? A nickname isn’t that important, but choosing one so recklessly can easily bring you misfortune.
Demon Cultivator Eleven: Little brother, take some advice from your uncle. You can’t handle this name. You’d better change it, and soon!
Demon Cultivator Thirteen: Hehehehe... what an audacious little brat, daring to impersonate the Young Sect Master of my Asura Sect. You’re courting death!
Demon Cultivator Seventeen: A Young Sect Master that even the Asura Sect disciples don’t know about? He must be a fake. The absolute nerve!
...
As he watched the lively discussion in the chat group, Wang Xiu’s eyes narrowed slightly.
The Asura Sect? A Young Sect Master? This sounds... interesting.
