They must be good at servicing?

Jiang Shengxie’s eyes brightened up. “A connoisseur!”

“Rest assured, Junior Brother. With the happiness of the rest of my life as a bet, I guarantee you that…

“Their services will be absolutely superb!”

Yue Tai’a mumbled, “The rest of your life? More like the bottom half of your body! You screwed with all of them before, ain’t ya?”

Jiang Shengxie looked at Yue Tai’a obliquely, “Men do not stand for trifles! Junior Brother and I are men of the same mind. How do you define men of the same mind?

“Buddies are like hands and feet, and women are like clothes and trousers!

“Only men who have shared the same trousers can call themselves men of the same mind!

“How would a lame guy like you who only knows how to eat all day understand something like this?”

Yue Tai’a: “???”

Chu Xiaolian: “???”

The three of them walked side by side towards the Embracing Moon Brothel. Jiang Shengxie was obviously an old customer. As soon as he arrived at the entrance, a lady recognized him.

“Yo, isn’t that Master Jiang?!

“It’s been so long since you last visited, Master Jiang! I miss you so much!

“Xiaobu, my man, I’ve learned a few new techniques recently, do you wanna come and try them out?”

…

Xiaobu?

Chu Xiaolian looked at Jiang Shengxie who still had a straight face. “Calm down, the girls and guests here rarely use their real names.”

“The name I’m using here is Jiang Xiaobu, and Junior Brother Yue’s is Yue Shitou.

“Junior Brother Chu, you can think of an anonymous name for yourself too.”

Chu Xiaolian thought for a while. “If that’s the case, I’ll use the name Chu Jiandao!”

Jiandao?

Dexterous and swift like a blade (Jian), hard and ferocious like a sword (Dao).

Jiang Shengxie smiled tacitly, “Junior Brother, you’re seriously a connoisseur!”

Connoisseur?

Chu Xiaolian had no idea what Senior Brother Jiang had understood from that alone. He just wanted to pick a girl quickly and use her to temper his Sword of Righteousness!

The three of them entered a room, and while they were waiting for their girls, Chu Xiaolian was a little nervous.

He came up with something to talk about, “Senior Brother Jiang, Senior Brother Yue, have you ever seen Senior Brother Li harvesting rice?”

Jiang Shengxie and Yue Tai’a looked at each other, then shook their heads. “We have not.

“We only know that Senior Brother Li has the world in mind and that he is cultivating high-yield rice, but we have never witnessed it personally.”

What?

Neither of them had seen Senior Brother Li harvesting rice?

Won’t that mean that aside from Senior Sister Ye, I’m the first person to see Senior Brother Li harvesting rice?

Yikes, I mean…yikes!!!

Jiang Shengxie asked curiously, “Could it be that you’ve seen Senior Brother Li harvesting rice?”

Proud from the bottom of his heart, Chu Xiaolian exclaimed, “Yes. I have had the honor to witness the heroic figure of Senior Brother Li harvesting rice.

“It was transcendent and ethereal!!!”

The eyes of both Jiang Shengxie and Yue Tai’a lit up. Hurriedly, they poured tea into Chu Xiaolian’s cup. “Junior Brother, tell us about it so that we can gain some knowledge as well.”

Chu Xiaolian revealed a difficult expression. “But I promised Senior Brother Li that I won’t reveal it to outsiders.”

Jiang Shengxie shook his head and said, “Sigh! How could you say something like that, Junior Brother? We are not outsiders! Senior Brother and the both of us are like real brothers! We’re definitely…!

“Cough cough, insiders! Yes, insiders!”

Chu Xiaolian: “But I promised Senior Brother that I’ll keep my mouth tightly shut like that of a jar.”

Jiang Shengxie raised his hand and swore, “I swear that I’ll keep it a secret or I’ll suffer from impotence and lose all interest in beautiful ladies.”

Yue Tai’a glanced at Jiang Shengxie strangely before everything came to light. “I swear that I’ll keep it a secret too.”

“Or my weight will go past 200 kilograms, and the harder I work, the more difficult it’ll be for me to lose weight!”

…

Listening to both of his Senior Brothers swear solemn oaths, Chu Xiaolian felt that it would be inappropriate to keep them hanging for any longer.

He sighed and said helplessly, “Ah, forget it! I trust you both.

“Senior Brothers, do you know what Regression to the Mortal State is?”

Regression to the Mortal State?

Yue Tai’a’s face was full of doubt.

Jiang Shengxie, on the other hand, was absorbed in thought. “Regression to the Mortal State, are you referring to the state of mind that one will can tap into only after they reach the Nascent Soul stage?”

Chu Xiaolian nodded. “Yes. Do you know that Senior Brother Li has regressed to the Mortal State?”

Jiang Shengxie and Yue Tai’a’s expression altered slightly. “Senior Brother has regressed to the Mortal State? Does that mean that he has already broken into the Nascent Soul stage?”

What shocking news!

Yue Tai’a even forgot to chew the junk food in his mouth.

Jiang Shengxie was also struck dumb. Suddenly, he felt that all the ladies around him had lost their flavor.

The Nascent Soul stage!

A 16-year-old Revered Nascent Soul Cultivator. It was astonishing even in Holy Land terms, let alone the fact that he was a supreme powerhouse who had gone down the path of Mortal Regression!

Considering all the Holy Sons and Daughters over the span of generations in the Eastern Desolate Realm, aces at that level probably did not even exist!

Senior Brother Li is seriously a hell of a man!!!

Looking at Jiang Shengxie and Yue Tai’a’s dumbfounded looks, Chu Xiaolian immediately felt contented on the inside.

This was the charm of gossiping.

If I get hit, then I mustn’t get hit alone.

Otherwise, I’ll look like a complete garbo!

With that in mind, Chu Xiaolian became more and more excited. “Yes, I have witnessed Senior Brother Li harvesting rice with my very own eyes.

“You didn’t see it. But Senior Brother Li was just like a normal person. He took off his shoes, went down the field, and allowed the dirty water to submerge his feet.

“Yet even then, he still looked as transcendent as a deity.

“He didn’t control his sword to perform the harvesting, nor did he use any advanced Sword Techniques, he simply wielded a sickle.

“In the eyes of the foolish, Senior Brother Li is no different from an ordinary farmer.

“However, Second Senior Sister and I were blessed with eyes of wisdom. We were able to discern his great path’s trajectory every time he waved his sickle which contained the essence of countless superior Sword Techniques.

“In order to achieve that level, one must definitely be on the legendary path of Mortal Regression!”

The truth was that Chu Xiaolian did not see anything.

And Senior Sister Ye had been too infatuated when she was looking at Senior Brother Li harvesting the crops.

In any case, I mustn’t let anyone know that I wasn’t able to comprehend anything. That’ll be too embarrassing.

“Returning to the very basics!”

Jiang Shengxie’s voice was full of envy. “You are so lucky to have gained Senior Brother Li’s favor as soon as you joined our sect, Junior Brother Chu!

“Speaking of which, it has been years since I received guidance from Senior Brother Li. I really miss it!”

…

Oh?

Senior Brother Li guided Senior Brother Jiang before?

Seeing the doubt in Chu Xiaolian’s eyes, Jiang Shengxie nodded earnestly.

He said, “Actually, both Junior Brother Yue and I have received Senior Brother Li’s guidance before.”

Chu Xiaolian revealed curiosity in his eyes. “Please elaborate on that, Senior Brother.”

Jiang Shengxie’s eyes were full of adoration and respect. “Senior Brother Li! He’s in possession of supreme wisdom.

“Back then, he knew at a glance that Junior Brother Yue and I were not ordinary people.”

Chu Xiaolian was taken aback for a moment. “Oh?”

Jiang Shengxie said, “You might not know, Junior Brother. In this world, some people possess unique attributes.

“For instance, Junior Brother Yue.

“He may seem like he’s just a high-grade Earth Spiritual Root, but in fact, the blood of the Ancient Divine Beast Taotie flows in his body.

“Although it is very thin, it is extremely powerful upon awakening. It can greatly increase his physical strength.

“If Junior Brother Yue is willing, he can speed up his cultivation by eating frantically.

“When he’s in danger, he can even burn fat to increase his combat power.

“Don’t underestimate Junior Brother Yue just because he’s only at the Early-stage Golden Core. If you infuriate him…

“He can even stomp on an Intermediate-stage Golden Core!”
