Chapter 123 – Is that a Nine Yang True Body?! An offer you can’t possibly refuse.
Despite being called a pavilion, the building the woman led him to was a large multi-floor building that was even larger than the Blue Luan Pagoda.
Walking inside, Zhengfu Chao smelled a mild scent of incense and saw an empty table in the center of a beautifully decorated yet spacious room.
"Please sit here, dear guest. This lowly entertainer will discuss with you our house rules before you enter." The woman said, gesturing to one of the seats.
"Oh, sure." Zhengfu Chao was interested and sat at the table.
"This entertainer is Xue Chang. What is the dear guest's name?" The woman gave a charming smile and gracefully sat opposite him.
"Zhengfu Chao. Nice to meet you, Miss Xui Chang." Zhengfu Chao gave a friendly smile.
"Likewise. Master Zhengfu, this lowly performer welcomes you to this humble Night Club." Xui Chang gave a modest bow.
"Thank you for having me, Miss Xui. What are the rules?" Zhengfu Chao asked.
"Yes. First are the basic rules. You pay before entering and will receive drinks and food according to what you paid.
Any fighting, cursing, or unconsented sexual harassment can lead you to get kicked out without reimbursement. So beware. Also, we have two tiers of service.
Regular service costs a Silver Tael, and you may stay and enjoy our performances, food and drinks, and the company of wealthy or affluent men. At any time, should you spot a girl you like, you may pay to reserve her for a private performance, but be warned that some girls are pure performers and won't casually warm your bed. You can also stay in a regular room for the night but could leave early. You might also need to show your sincerity to the girl and pay more. And, of course, you also need to tip the servers.
And we also have Premium Service for a Gold Tael. You can enjoy the above, but the quality of service and privacy are worlds apart. You will also receive a private suite on the 4th floor with a balcony and a dedicated waitress, and our top performers will be more willing to serve you." Xui Chang said.
"So it is a type of high-class brothel? I didn't intend for this, but since I am here, I might as well reserve a room." Zhengfu Chao thought.
"Oh." Zhengfu Chao nodded. "Can I cultivate while resting here?"
"As long as it does not cause a commotion or damage the room, we allow it. But the regular rooms are not as spacious, comfortable, and quiet as the premium rooms." Xui Chang smiled.
"Oh. Then let's go with the premium service." Zhengfu Chao said, taking out a Gold Tael he deliberately placed in his Spatial Bag and putting it on the table.
"A wise choice, Master Zhengfu." Xui Chang skillfully swept the tael into her sleeve and stood up. "Please follow me."
Xui Chang led him to a large suite on the fourth floor. It had a different style than the rooms from Gerhart's world and had a delicate charm to it.
"This will be your room. If you wish to enjoy things downstairs, please go to the tell the waitress, and she will arrange a private table for you. And if you wish to reserve anyone or have any questions, speak to the waitress." Xui Chang said.
"Oh, thank you." Zhengfu Chao said.
"It is a pleasure to serve, Master Zhengfu. The waitress will arrive shortly. Please enjoy your stay." Xui Chang bowed and left the room.
Zhengfu Chao quietly sat cross-legged by a low table, took out one of the books he bought, and started reading while waiting.
Soon, the sliding door opened, and a delicate young girl entered the room carrying a tea plate. To Zhengfu Chao's surprise, the girl was actually on par, if not more beautiful than Xui Chang. However, she was young, no older than 18. She also had a great figure, and there was a strange cold air about her he couldn't describe.
"This is a waitress? Are you sure she isn't your top girl?" Zhengfu Chao thought.
"Hello, Master Zhengfu. This servant girl is Yin An, and I shall serve you for tonight." Yin An placed the tea on the table and bowed.
"Nice to meet you, Yin An. Can you please bring my food now? I am pretty hungry." Zhengfu Chao requested.
"Certainly, Master Zhengfu. Would you like to order something specific? Or would you like tonight's special?" Yin An asked.
"I am not picky. Just give me something normal." Zhengfu Chao said, already engrossed in his book.
"Of course, Master Zhengfu." Yin An tactfully said and was about to exit the room when she saw the book Zhengfu Chao held.
"Heavenly Nine Yang Cultivation Technique!" She shook. But then, she quickly composed herself and continued retreating from the room without showing any more signs.
Yin An quickly headed to the kitchen and made an order before heading straight to Xui Chang, who was speaking to some of the guests.
"Madam. I need to report something." Yin An urgently said.
"Hm? Did something happen?" Xui Chang was alarmed but didn't show it on her face.
After excusing herself, she and Yin An went to a secluded area.
"What happened, junior sister? Did Master Zhengfu not like you? Your sister personally handpicked him as your first cauldron." Xui Chang frowned and asked.
Yin An was a girl she found by pure chance. Her parents sold her to the brothel to pay for their son's imperial tuition, and it just so happened that Xui Chang discovered her. Due to Yin An being an uneducated girl, she would have become a servant girl or whore, not even the lowliest Geji. However, Xui Chang discovered Yin An had a unique physique, a Pure Yin Body! Hence, she took her under her wing a year ago and started teaching her everything from scratch.
With Yin An ready to cultivate, she chose a male with a Virign Yang but weak cultivation for her junior sister to absorb, giving her a better foundation for future progress. The thought of her hard work going to waste made her unhappy.
"Master Zhengfu was reading the Qi Refinement Stage book of the Heavenly Nine Yang Cultivation method." Yin An hurriedly said, clarifying herself.
"What?!" Xui Chang widened her eyes in shock, but then they turned into greed.
"If he is reading the Heavenly Nine Yang Cultivation Method, he must have a Pure Yang Body to cultivate it! He could become a Heavenly Yang Cauldron! I would get plenty of rewards if I captured and handed him to the sect!" She greedily thought.
There were two types of dual cultivation cauldrons. One was a disposable one where you sucked the life, potential, and cultivation out of the target. They were treated as another form of a pill and usually had many impurities inside. To maximize their usefulness, they ate many tonics, and their life expectancy was 20 years due to being repeatedly drained and dying from kidney failure.
However, those with a Pure Yin or Pure Yang Body had exceptionally pure energy and could recover their Yin or Yang energies much faster than usual. While it was possible to treat them as disposable cauldrons, giving much better benefits, that was considered a waste! Instead, they used them as Dao Partners and the best kind.
Due to their practice method, the Tantric Pleasure Sect had a flaw of having impure Qi. However, through the exchange of Yin and Yang, Dual Cultivation could purify Qi. Although some Qi get lost during the refining process, this was worth it! That was why they kept several male disciples for dual cultivation. However, the males were under great stress due to having too many female partners, absorbing too much Yin Qi, causing them to become feminine and queer. But a Pure Yang Body could handle much more.
However, it is too difficult to find them! A Pure Yang Body is born one in 100,000 men, and their sect territory is smaller. While the Heavenly Continent was impossibly big, having hundreds of trillions of humans on it, their small region, the Gentle Stream Region, ruled by the Zheng Dynasty, only had over ten million souls.
Also, other sects snatched them for their talent, especially the Furious Sword Sect and Vajrapani Golden Body Sect, and even the dynasty favored them. And many remained in obscurity, their potential untapped until their death. Yin An was one of the lucky ones who avoided such a tragedy by a fluke. Furthermore, the Tantric Pleasure Sect had a poor reputation, so those with a Pure Yang Body would avoid willingly joining them.
Their entire sect only has three members with Pure Yang Bodies. One is a Golden Core Elder with half a foot in the grave. The second is a Foundation Establishment Disciple reserved by the Core Disciples. The last member was a ten-year-old boy born in their territory by chance and was some years away before he could Dual Cultivate. And this was already a good result.
"He shouldn't belong to a sect. Otherwise, he would be directly promoted to an Inner Disciple and forced to cultivate until he reached the Foundation Establishment Realm. Judging from his weak energy fluctuations, he didn't even start cultivating yet! If I can bring him to the sect, I will be rewarded and have priority use with him. If I am lucky, I can advance to a Core Disciple!" Xui Chang clenched her hands in excitement.
However, as a Foundation Establishment disciple, she quickly calmed herself.
"Good job, Junior Sister. I will check to confirm if he has a Pure Yang Body. If he does, I will extend an olive branch. Either way, I will reserve for you his Virgin Yang Qi." Xui Chang said.
"Thank you, Senior Sister." Yin An lightly bowed.
Xui Chang didn't hesitate and headed to Zhengfu Chao's room. But just as she was about to open his door-
Hum* Woosh*
She widened her eyes as she felt a massive attraction force swallowing the nearby Qi like a whale.
"Eh? What is this?! Is a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator inside?!" Xui Chang widened her eyes in shock before hesitantly opening the door.
Inside, she saw almost visible Qi entering Zhengfu Chao's body. At the same time, she felt a rich Yang Qi rising in him. She also clearly sensed the aura of a level 1 Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator- No, it was now level 2.
Badump*
Her body couldn't help but shake in excitement as she felt her cultivation technique circulate on its own, passively absorbing the leftover Yang Qi with extreme purity, and felt her bottleneck slightly loosening.
"W-What is this? Is it possible it isn't a Pure Yang Body, but a Three Yang Sun Body?! Or even a Six Yang Indomitable Body?! Or maybe- A Nine Yang True Body?! And he only started cultivating?! Jackpot! I hit the jackpot!" She screamed in her heart in excitement.
But then, her expression changed.
"Wait, such a big commotion would surely attract- Oh no! I don't want to interrupt his cultivation, but I must stop him before it is too late!" Xui Chang panicked.
Luckily, the suction power suddenly stopped as Zhengfu Chao opened his eyes.
"Oh, that was easy. And who knew cultivating felt so good?" Zhengfu Chao thought and then looked to the door, only to see Xui Chang looking at him with relieved eyes.
"Hm? Miss Xui? Why are you in my room? Did I accidentally cause a commotion?" Zhengfu Chao worriedly asked, not wanting to damage Xui Chang's business.
"Master Zhengfu, forgive my bluntness, but do you have a Nine Yang True Body?" Xui Chang carefully asked, not answering his question.
"Hm? Yes. I heard it from a traveling old man." Zhengfu Chao said. Since she said this, even if he downplayed it, it would be useless. Besides, he wasn't afraid of anything.
"Is that so... Master Zhengfu, do you have a sect?" Xui Chang asked with increasing excitement.
"I don't. I wanted to join the White Jade Sect, but they are not recruiting now." Zhengfu Chao honestly replied.
"Then, would you like to join my Tantric Pleasure Sect? I promise that if you come, you will become our Saint Son!" Xui Chang confidently said.
"That depends. What does being a Saint Son mean?" Zhengfu Chao was not against the idea of joining a demonic sect.
It was because he saw both Righteous and Demonic sects as two sides of the same coin, both pieces of shit in their own right. The sword wasn't to blame, but the one that wielded it. He had already seen what happened with Ma Yang, a model example of Self-Righteousness. In contrast, Demonic Sects were pieces of shit in the open. At least they admitted it.
"You will directly become a Core Disciple, and when you reach the Golden Core Realm, you will be our Direct Disciple! The Sect Mistress herself would sponsor you, and you will receive several times more resources than other Core Disciples! Last but not least, every Senior and Junior Sister will be willing to be your dao partner to dual cultivate with, even our current Saint Daughter, and of course, myself~" Xui Chang seductively said.
"Deal!" Zhengfu Chao readily agreed.
"Great! We will head out immediately!" Xui Chang happily said.
Both of them were happy about this for different reasons.
"Yes! With this, I will surely advance to the Golden Core or even Nascent Soul Realm!" Xui Chang happily thought.
"The Tantric Pleasure Sect sounds like a fun and easy first power base." Zhengfu Chao gleefully thought.
Xui Chang didn't know she was inviting a hungry wolf into her sect.
