Yao Lao saw the woman questioning Qin Feng’s situation and quickly explained, “He is like me, also an alchemist. I invited him here, so he cannot be ambushed. If you want to pursue responsibility, I am willing to bear it all. Just tell me what you want.”
The woman heard this and cursed, “Bah! You old geezer, you dare to look down on me? Do you think your little coal balls can catch my eye? Since you broke the rules first, don’t blame me for being impolite today. I’ll smash your broken coal stove, so you can’t refine coal balls here anymore. The stench of medicine has been drifting to my place all day, and I’ve had enough.”
After speaking, the woman was about to make a move. Yao Lao quickly dodged and blocked in front of her. He took out a pill from his embrace and said with a fawning smile, “This is the Heavenly Venerate Beauty-Enhancing Pill I just refined. After taking it, you can become ten years younger. This batch of pills was originally for the Immortal Venerable Lord, but now I’ll give one to you as my apology. What do you say?”
Hearing this, the woman looked down at the pill. This pill had a peculiar energy fluctuation and tasted very sweet, like a peerless delicacy. Qin Feng could feel the high grade of the pill from its appearance and taste. Such a high-grade pill was not something he could refine now, nor could it be compared to ordinary treasures.
Qin Feng believed that if he took such a pill, he could become ten years younger.
The woman looked at the pill, and her anger immediately subsided by half. She held the pill in her hand, examined it carefully, and then said, “Zeng Yuanxian, I’ll let you off today. But I warn you, if you dare to lay hands on our Flower Garden disciples again, I won’t spare you no matter what pills you offer. Do you understand?”
Yao Lao nodded and respectfully said, “Don’t worry, this won’t happen again in the future.”
Hearing this, the woman nodded, then turned and left.
When Qin Feng saw that the woman had gone far away, he asked doubtfully, “That woman’s strength is not much higher than yours. Why are you afraid of her? And you wasted a precious pill.”
Yao Lao glanced at Qin Feng and said, “Although her strength is similar to mine, the man she is close to is someone I cannot afford to offend!”
After saying this, Yao Lao added, “I already signaled you just now. Why didn’t you leave quickly? When this woman goes mad, no one can stop her. If she wants to take your life, even I can’t protect you.”
At this moment, Qin Feng finally understood how dangerous it was just now. He originally thought that Qingxuan Sect was a prestigious sect and would not bully the small or kill people casually. However, listening to Yao Lao, it seemed that woman could act with impunity here.
Qin Feng asked curiously, “Doesn’t Qingxuan Sect have sect rules to restrain her? Can she act so unscrupulously and lawlessly here? I am your guest, why can she attack me so casually?”
Yao Lao nodded and explained, “Of course, our Qingxuan Sect has sect rules. But the Flower Garden is a relatively special existence within Qingxuan. That woman just now is the mistress of the Flower Garden. She has privileges that others do not. If she wants to kill you, no one can stop her. As I told you earlier, she has many lovers who are powerful individuals. Even the Sect Master of our Qingxuan Sect would not dare to provoke her easily. As an outsider, if she wants to kill you within Qingxuan Sect, no one can stop her. So… when you come to find me in the future, try to bypass the Flower Garden and those female disciples, understand?”
Qin Feng nodded, and now he understood how dangerous it was to walk in this world.
His strength was not yet sufficient to move around this world freely. Just now, he was almost controlled by the charm technique used by a female disciple of the Flower Garden, nearly losing his true self. Now, seeing the fiery mistress of the Flower Garden, he understood that if that woman had made a move, he would have absolutely no room to resist. Even if she had used a little of her charm power, he might have immediately committed suicide in front of her. Such mind-controlling techniques, such charm techniques, were too terrifying.
If it were a head-on confrontation, even if he was defeated, he would still have hope of escaping. But if his body and mind were controlled, he would completely lose hope of survival. Especially since he had too many secrets. If the other party forced him to reveal all his secrets, he would be doomed.
If his trump cards were known to others, his fate would be very tragic.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng asked again, “The charm technique practiced by the female disciples in the Flower Garden, is there any way to break it? I don’t want to be subjected to such a move again and lose my true self.”
Yao Lao thought for a moment and said, “That’s very simple. As long as your cultivation realm is higher than theirs, their charm technique will be ineffective against you!”
Qin Feng said with difficulty, “How can one quickly improve their cultivation realm in a short period? Are there any other ways to prevent being charmed?”
Yao Lao thought for a moment, then said, “There is another way, and it is something that masters of various sects strive for: to take a female disciple of the Flower Garden as one’s wife. Let her use the charm technique, and you will remain clear-headed and maintain your true self. In this way, you are effectively charmed, but you can also maintain your true self. Others using charm techniques on you will be useless, even if their strength is heaven-defying, they won’t be able to charm you! Masters of various sects marrying female disciples of the Flower Garden as wives is to prevent other masters from using charm techniques to make them lose their true selves. Moreover, marrying a female disciple of the Flower Garden has another benefit: you will be immune to all mind-altering spells and medicines in the world for life.”
Hearing this, Qin Feng was moved. Yao Lao seemed to have seen through Qin Feng’s thoughts and said, “I advise you not to think about marrying a female disciple of the Flower Garden as your wife. The people they marry are princes and nobles, as well as exceptionally talented individuals from various sects. They won’t even glance at you unless you are a dragon among men.”
After hearing this, Qin Feng asked curiously, “Since women who cultivate charm techniques are so precious, why don’t other sects cultivate them? Is it that only Qingxuan Sect has this charm technique?”
Yao Lao nodded, then explained, “Of course, Qingxuan Sect is not the only one that possesses this charm technique. Other sects can also cultivate it. However, to cultivate the charm technique to a certain level, to the point where one’s partner can be immune for life, the cultivation realm must reach the late Golden Core stage. This cannot be achieved through arduous cultivation, nor can it be promoted by spiritual pills and elixirs. There are no shortcuts to cultivating the charm method; it cannot rely on external forces or pills, only on one’s own arduous cultivation. And among all the women in the world who cultivate the charm technique, only Qingxuan Sect can achieve the Golden Core late stage at a young age, because our sect has a supreme treasure that can speed up the cultivation of the charm technique! That’s why talented individuals and nobles from all sects are fond of our Qingxuan Sect’s female disciples, because they don’t want to marry an old woman!”
