Tricking the Fairy

"I am going to start the treatment so don't resist my profound energy once it enters your body...also before I will start...I want Fairy Chu to swear once again not to disclose what happened and will happen in this room to anyone no matter their identity." Meng said with a serious voice since he was going to use his yang energy to completely overwhelm that ice-attribute entity inside her body.

"...I swear on my master, younger sister...just how much of a secret can this "treatment" be?" She swore, feeling a bit doubtful regarding Meng's "heaven-shaking secret".

"Alright, let's start" Meng said and started slowly sending his Yang energy inside her body, guiding it towards the entity creating the Ice poison.

The entire treatment took an hour and made Meng waste 30% of his Yang energy reserves which was quite a lot considering how pure his energy was, however, he was able to completely get rid of the entity.

Unfortunately or maybe fortunately for someone else...

*rumble*

'?!' Meng's eyes widened when he felt an abrupt increase in Chu Yuechan's aura but he quickly narrowed his eyes, already expecting this situation, the only thing he never expected was that her cultivation used to be half-step to Emperor Profound Realm.

"What?! I broke through into the Emperor Profound Realm?!" Chu Yuechan muttered with a dumbfounded expression while looking at her hands but she suddenly felt Meng's hand on top of her head.

"Sorry" When she heard his voice, she already started feeling dizzy.

She tried to release her profound energy to the surroundings but she couldn't control it at all.

"You...why?" Chu Yuechan slowly turned around and asked in a low voice while looking into Meng's amber eyes with her own hazy eyes. She could no longer keep her balance and her body has fallen into Meng's hands but he quickly caught her shoulders, laying her on the bed before standing up.

There was a tear in her one eye before she fell asleep which slightly surprised Meng.

'Wait, wait, wait! She didn't think that I was going to violate her, right?!' Meng thought with a dumbfounded expression but he had no time to waste as the dawn was almost here and his Yin energy inside her body would be capable of leaving her asleep only for a few minutes at most. While her guard was the laxest, Meng quickly imbued his Yin energy into her head to make her feel dizzy, and then he quickly tried to restrict her own cold energy with his superior yin energy but it still took him more than 50% of his reserves!

Meng quickly scrambled something on the note before leaving it next to her, quickly using The Void Shattering Step to run away. He considered hiding by using One with the Shadows and watch her reaction but it was too dangerous, considering that she just stepped into Emperor Profound Realm.

*sigh* 'I guess I will find a quiet place to wait a few days before going to the Black Moon Merchant Guild, I can't risk meeting her again. It has been a few minutes, she should be awake by now...' Meng thought with a tired expression while looking back in the direction of the inn

At the inn...

When Chu Yuechan's opened her eyes, she felt a slight headache but after circulating her energy a few times through her entire body, she felt fine, no...fine would be an understatement, she felt perfect. She noticed a note lying on the bed next to her so she picked it up and read...

[I am sorry for such a rude departure but I didn't want to risk anything, it's not Fairy Chu's fault but I am simply too cautious and maybe a bit paranoid when it comes to my special constitution. I am pretty sure Fairy Chu felt it too when she broke through to the Emperor Profound Realm so she should be capable of understanding my situation. I still hope you will be able to keep your promise. By the way, I couldn't help but notice Fairy Chu's expression before you passed out...I haven't done anything to you so please don't be too angry if we were to meet again, haha. Now, please look at the back page]

She read it with a complicated expression as she already knew why she was able to have such an easy breakthrough.

She flipped onto the back page and immediately grasped the note with a bit more strength, slightly freezing it when she saw a quick and simple drawing of Meng's face winking with his right hand forming V sign over his opened eye and stuck out tongue saying "Congratulations on your breakthrough"

Chu Yuechan approached the balcony and looked at the view of the city, looking at the distant horizon with her cold eyes.

'Su Meng...what an interesting fellow. Did he mention something about attending the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament? Finding him right now would be an impossible task, still, for him to be capable of making me pass out for a few minutes, how did he do it? He said that he is sensitive to cold energy but he was capable of somehow restricting my profound energy. I was indeed caught off-guard but it should still be impossible.' Chu Yuechan thought but she couldn't help but look forward to returning to her master, showing her new stronger cultivation base, unfortunately, she would have to keep what happened in this room a secret.

'Looks like younger sister Yueli has struck gold by helping this Su Meng. I should be capable of at least reminding her to choose her favor carefully. I also want to repay him somehow for letting me directly step into Emperor Profound Realm without meeting any bottleneck but I guess it will have to wait.' Chu Yuechan thought before leaving the inn, intending to go back to her sect.

Meng spent 3 days in hiding at a different inn without even leaving his room. He kept working n stabilizing his cultivation base however there were times when he was bored so he decided to think of names for his first 3 moves of [7 Moves of Ferocious Sun]

[1st move - Sunbeam]

[2nd move - Scattering of Light]

[3rd move - Solar Deity Spear]

'...Yeah, if one day I were to become one of the strongest figures, then even people at Elementary Profound Realm would be laughing at my naming sense. What kind of joke is that? I am capable of creating I would say such a complex Profound Art but I am unable to even make a cool name for it! Is this the price for my talent?!! Heavens! Why are you so cruel?!' Meng thought as he was sitting on the bed, looking up at the ceiling with tears threatening to come out of his eyes any second, with his open arms aiming up towards the ceiling.

'Well, it should be safe outside...I will visit the Black Moon Merchant Guild before leaving this capital city. I also feel like I am finally capable of performing the 4th move, I need to try it out as soon as possible' Meng thought before taking his mask on for this visit.

Meng was able to buy a lot of stuff and as the elder back at New Moon City said, their stock was much, much larger. He actually ended up spending all he had which was slightly more than 1.000 purple profound coins so he started exchanging herbs and materials for his pills. The elders there were much more knowledgeable than at New Moon City and they have immediately taken interest in Meng's pills. In the end, they also gave Meng a big discount for his perfect and very useful pills and obviously also because of his large order of herbs. Despite the discount, Meng was sure that they would still make a large profit with his pills if sold at the auction.

Right now as he was leaving the city, his inventory was literally filled with thousands of herbs. Just thinking of strengthening the Iron Spear Clan with this many resources, Meng couldn't contain his cold smile from surfacing.

.

.

Along on his way back, Meng finally found a good practice target. Spirit Profound Beast.

He used all 3 moves, intentionally missing them which took him around 20% of his energy reserves. One must also take into consideration that he used all those moves with a maximum input of his energy.

When the Spirit Profound Beast saw the explosion of Meng's 3rd move that missed it, the beast had an urge to run away but it still attacked him with the outburst of its energy. When Meng was about to be hit by its energy, he used The Void Shattering Step to appear a long way behind it.

"Let's try it out...The 4th move - Heaven's Retribution...it feels so cringe to say it aloud." Meng muttered with an uncomfortable expression before he pointed his spear at the sky above the beast and then he swung it down, causing a bright amber colored circle with a radius of 100 meters to form above the beast and suddenly from that circle, it started raining right down on the beast. Those raindrops had the same color as the circle.

*Rooar* The beast started releasing pained roars as the amber-colored raindrops started dropping on its body, slightly piercing its skin and burning the insides of the small wound. Such a small wound would never be capable of killing anything but what if it were to be thousands of thousands of such wounds...? As the name suggested, it was a sort of punishment therefore the death wouldn't come so quickly.

Meng quickly used 3rd move to instantly kill the beast, not wanting to torture it any longer than necessary. After practicing it a few more times, he moved on and arrived back at New Moon City in 5 days.

When he arrived at the Iron Spear Clan's grounds, he immediately went to find Tie Hengjun to check on his progress and found out that he was close to breaking through the 5th stage of Nascent Profound Realm.

"Brother Tie, here you go, a few more pills so you don't have to take them from other possibly talented or hard-working disciples. You are one of the strongest persons of the young generation here with the biggest talent for the way of the spear so you deserve to have your own stock of them." Meng said with a smile as he threw a spatial ring at Hengjun who caught it with a surprised expression.

"Brother Su...I can't take this...This is too much" Hengjun said while extending his arm with the ring in his hand, intending to give it back once he saw how many pills are stored inside it.

"Take it and train as much as you can. You are the best candidate for the future clan master!" Meng said and patted Hengjun's shoulder.

"Eh? But...Does brother Su have no interest in becoming a clan master? If It's just because the current clan master is my father, Brother Su doesn't have to worry about it. We always choose the most suitable clan master, it's not going to be just passed onto me." Hengjun replied but Meng shook his head with a smile.

"I would be much more content with only overlooking the clan while another person would be actually taking care of mundane affairs for the entire clan. You could think of it as being the Iron Spear Clan's guardian, haha."

"Anyway, there is still around 8 months of time left until the tournament. I am planning to go for 28 days into seclusive training however this time inside the Iron Spear Clan. After every 7 days in seclusion, I would come out and spar with brother Tie but without the usage of any profound energy, just pure spear vs spear spar. We would spar from the morning to the afternoon before taking the 6 hours of rest time to think of each other's faults in our actions during the spar before we would resume the spar until midnight. Are you alright with this training plan, brother Tie? You can do whatever you want between the 7th, 14th, 21th, and 28th day of my training in seclusion." Meng asked.

"It would be an honor to spar with brother Su once again, at least, I might have some chance if we won't be using any profound energy, haha" Hengjun nodded his head.

'These 28 days, I must grasp Hengjun's fighting style and also create something really big for the entire Iron Spear Clan...But creating a Profound Art of a wind type when I can't even use wind profound energy will be more than difficult but I must do it quickly since it will take Hengjun a lot of time to learn it...Thankfully I bought some herbs that can be used to make pills to change one's profound energy's attribute but I am still not sure if it will work for me.' Meng thought before he asked the clan master to arrange for him his own courtyard for those 28 days. He also requested so that no one disturbs him during his training.
