Chapter 10: Beauty Borrows Money! Seeking Recommendations

  Quietly watching the person in front of me.

  The other party is about 14 or 15 years old, with a slender and delicate figure, curved eyebrows like crescent moons, and a chubby little face that is white with a hint of red, exceptionally cute.

  The little girl's face was full of smiles, her eyes narrowed into a slit as she laughed.

  Behind her stood two men in red robes, their faces expressionless and vigilant as they sized up the Vermilion Fish.

  Zhu Yu's palms were sweating, and he didn't relax in the slightest because his opponent was a little girl, because this little girl was wearing a purple robe.

  The purple robe signifies that he is an elite disciple of the Academy.

  The entire school has tens of thousands of disciples, but only 108 are elite disciples. Normally, these disciples are rarely seen, and it's hard to catch a glimpse of them.

  The two major core disciples' residences of the college, the male disciples' Hushan Apartment and the female disciples' Ziwu Apartment, are extremely mysterious existences and are the holy places in the hearts of the college's countless disciples.

  At this point, a core disciple took the initiative to approach him, making Zhu Yu very nervous.

  After a long silence, Zhu Yu calmed down and said: "Sister, what are your orders?"

  Xiao Yatou Gege's laughter was like the sound of pearls falling onto a plate: "Don't you recognize me? You...first take off your headscarf..."

  Zhu Yu hesitated for a moment, looking somewhat uncertain. The two red-robed male disciples behind Xiao Tao's head suddenly turned pale. Zhu Yu took a deep breath and removed his hood.

  The little girl opened her eyes wide and stared at the crucian carp, after a while she suddenly clapped her hands and said: "Ah, it's really you, your name is Crucian Carp! I know you!"

  The vermilion fish was calm and composed. Recently, the Shengui platform had been hyping things up fiercely. He estimated that his reputation was already well-known outside, so when this girl said she recognized him, he wasn't surprised at all.

  "Thank you, elder sister, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude!" said Zhu Yu.

  The little girl had a smile on her face, and a sly look in her eyes. "My name is Tian Xiaodan," she said. "You'd better remember it from now on. Otherwise, I'll know you but you won't know me - how embarrassing would that be!"

  Zhu Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled slightly, Tian Xiaodan Zhu Yu certainly knew.

  Lingfeng Hall has a total of eight elite disciples, among whom Yun Feng and Tian Xiaodan are both direct disciples of Elder Ou Shengmei, the head of the Punishment Seat, and have a great reputation.

  Yunfeng doesn't need to be mentioned, he is known as one of the four fairy-level figures in the South Sea Immortal Academy, and his reputation is so great that everyone in the academy knows about it.

  Tian Xiaodan, on the other hand, was a renowned genius with an exceptional innate talent that surpassed everyone in the entire institution. It's said that many respected masters had fought to take him as their disciple, but ultimately, it was the highly esteemed Master Oumei who got ahead of them all.

  Each of the elite disciples has a legendary story, and there is no weak one among them. They are all the most dazzling pearls in the South Sea Xianyuan Academy.

  Tian Xiaodan's smile was very lovely, but suddenly her smile vanished and she shouted loudly: "Zhu Yu, why are you appearing here? Tell the truth! Are you secretly selling fantasy symbols?"

  Her face changed rapidly, slowly approaching the red fish, her cheek close to it, breathing like an orchid, but her expression was extremely cold, almost word by word: "I know, you are the Red Fish Prince! No matter how cunning the fish is, it can't escape a good angler. Today I caught you!"

  Zhu Yu's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly suppressed it. His eyes showed a confused expression as he said: "Tian Shifu, who are you talking about? Who is the Red Fish Young Master? I...I just went to visit Zhang Shixiong at the Red Dust Apartment and happened to pass by here on my way back!"

  Tian Xiaodan wrinkled her nose and said, "Are you lying? Then what were you doing running to the entrance of 'Duofu Shop' just now?"

  She stared at Zhu Yu's face with her eyes fixed on him, as if she wanted to give Zhu Yu a psychological pressure.

  Zhu Yu secretly sneered in her heart, thinking that Xiao Jiu was still too naive to try to swindle others.

  He didn't hesitate and said, "I'm going to buy symbols. I saw someone on the Xin Gui platform say that Duo Symbol Shop has a kind of fantasy symbol that is very effective for learning basic symbol texts, and it's also very cheap. So I want to go buy a few more, and then study them when I get back!"

  "Really? What's the name of that Zhang brother from Hongchen Apartment?"

  "Zhang Xi Rao!"

  "What did you go find him for?"

  "Borrow crystal!"

  "I didn't borrow it!"

  "Not one cent!"

  "Haha!" Tian Xiaodan's face immediately froze and cleared of all chill, "Not a single cent? What kind of crappy senior brother are you? Not even a single cent?"

  She turned her head and looked at a red-robed disciple behind her: "Hey, is this person in our sect?"

  The disciple respectfully said: "Sister Master, Zhang Xi Rao is a disciple of the Zhang family. He's usually... somewhat petty..."

  Zhu Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly said: "Tian Shijie, you are an elite disciple, I've heard that elite disciples all have a lot of wealth, rich to the point of overflowing. Can...can you lend me some crystal stones? I...I need them urgently..."

  Tian Xiaodan was taken aback, staring at Zhu Yu in surprise, her face slightly flushed: "You... you want to borrow a crystal stone from me? We... we aren't that close..."

  Zhu Yu coughed somewhat awkwardly and said, "I've long heard of your reputation for being heroic and generous, Master Tian. If you're not in a convenient position right now, then... never mind!"

  Tian Xiaodan frowned and puffed out her chest, saying: "Who says I'm short of money? How much do you want to borrow?"

  "Two thousand low-grade crystal stones."

  Tian Xiaodan's eyes widened in shock, and she exclaimed: "You want so many?"

  The carp's face suddenly turned red, and he stammered: "You... you don't have to, I'll find another way!"

  The carp slowly turned around, pretending to be disappointed, but was actually very pleased.

  Turn the tables, change the subject, and make a quick exit.

  The fortune in this area has been cut off and we need to think of another way to make money.

  This world is really dark, low-ranking disciples are oppressed everywhere, it's hard to survive!

  The carp slowly left, thinking about ways to make money in his mind, but heard Tian Xiaodan shouting loudly behind him: "You stand still!"

  Zhu Yu turned around in surprise, Tian Xiao Dan walked over with big strides and said: "Zhu Yu, you look down on people, what's the big deal about 2,000 crystal stones? If you want to borrow from me, I'll lend it to you!"

  She patted her storage bag with her small hand, and a stream of crystal stones flew out from inside.

  Zhu Yu hastily manipulated his spiritual energy and used a storage bag to store all of the crystal stones.

  Twenty intermediate crystals, neither more nor less, just enough to match two thousand low-grade crystals.

  The master of the Zhu family was overjoyed, it was a pleasant surprise, he hurriedly expressed his gratitude, thanking him profusely, saying all sorts of nice things, speaking so much that Xiaoyu's face turned red with shyness.

  She said with a hint of embarrassment: "Zhu Yu, you'd better return it to me on time, I still want to buy Xiaolingmao's, anyway this month is definitely not going to make it, so just borrow yours!"

  "Thank you, thank you Tian Shi Jie, you're indeed generous and righteous, thank you!"

  The carp thanked him a thousand times and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

  Tian Xiaodan gazed at Zhu Yu's back, smiled slightly, blinked his eyes, and muttered: "This guy, has some meaning, cunningly, do you think I will believe you?"

  ……

  Nanhai City Zhu Fish is the first time to stroll around.

  The city is very prosperous, the streets are crowded with people, the cries of various vendors, and the dazzling advertisements at the entrances of major stores make one's eyes dazzled.

  The Huaxia world has a highly developed cultivation civilization, to the point where even the cinnabar fish feel like they are strolling through the streets of Earth filled with technological civilization.

  Nanhai City Xianyuan Market, this is a gathering place for cultivators.

  The destination of the Zhu fish is Xianyuan Market.

  As soon as they entered the market, there was a hubbub of voices, with people rushing about inside, all of whom were monks dressed in Buddhist robes.

  The day after tomorrow, there are many postnatal cultivators, and many of them have surpassed the fourth level of postnatal cultivation. Prenatal cultivators are not in the minority either. Every time a prenatal cultivator appears, the atmosphere is shocking, and the people around will automatically disperse. These prenatal spirits will then walk forward with pride under the envious and fearful gaze of the crowd, each one full of spirit and energy, with an impressive demeanor.

  "Hey, buddy, where are we going? Do we need a taxi?"

  A silly man came over to flirt with Zhuyu.

  Behind him, a very sturdy spirit beast resembling both a horse and a deer was snorting loudly, its head occasionally rubbing against his back, appearing to be extremely intimate with him.

  "Let's go to the Gui Pavilion, how much does it cost?" Zhu Yu said excitedly. There were too many people on the street, and Zhu Yu felt dizzy from turning around. Having a guide would definitely make things more efficient.

  "Two pieces of low-grade crystal, delivered safely!" The silly fellow grinned and said.

  "Alright, deal! Let's go now!" Zhu Yu said resolutely.

  He mounted the deer horse, this thing he was sitting on for the first time, originally he was very nervous, but after sitting up, he found it to be as flat as a pancake, very comfortable, his mood couldn't help but relax.

  A simple-minded Han man is very talkative and keeps finding excuses to chat with Zhu Yu, who is also a cultivator, having cultivated his body twice and achieved this state after thirty years.

  Since the path to immortality was hopeless, he simply started a business renting out spirit deer and horses. He could earn over 100 crystal stones in a day, which was enough to support his family and raise his children without any issues.

  There are many monks like him, all over the streets.

  Cultivating immortality is like this, going against heaven's will in cultivation, those with non-heavenly talent and heavenly determination cannot succeed.

  If one generation doesn't succeed, they pin their hopes on the next generation of children and grandchildren to make a name for themselves, to surpass their predecessors, and to have a bright future. The foolish but kind-hearted father has been boasting about his child's exceptional talent and broad prospects all along, and now he has already enrolled in the South Sea Cultivation Class.

  If he can pass the annual trial next year, he will become a formal disciple of the college and will have a better future than his old man.

  The vermilion fish listened with a mix of emotions, amused and astonished. The desire for one's son to become a dragon and daughter to become a phoenix is an unchanging human nature. This has been the case since the earth existed, and now in this vast world of China, it remains so.

  Entering the South Sea Immortal Academy is not a paradise, the low-level disciples of the academy are still dark and hopeless, unless they have heaven-defying talent or dogshit luck that defies heaven, and can worship under a certain master, otherwise the immortal path is just a dream.

  All the way chatting, basically all thick-skinned men talking, Zhu Yu smiled and listened.

  He had also heard many rumors about the cultivation world, such as the conflicts between various sects in the cultivation world, the fall of certain Void Realm experts, and how many innate spiritual roots were lost by a certain sect.

  Just as the two were chatting, the crowd around them suddenly became noisy.

  Some people shouted and cried out in surprise, all looking up at the sky together.

  Zhu Yu was stunned, looked up at the sky, and saw a huge flower boat slowly descending from the clouds.

  On the flower boat, there are all kinds of rare flowers and grasses competing for beauty, the flower boat is surrounded by auspicious light, flowing light and colorful, dazzling auspicious light pouring down, covering the entire street with dots of auspicious light.

  The carp opened its big mouth, this kind of overbearing and arrogant scene, he had never seen it before. This one boat was like a huge flying treasure symbol. Who was this dignified person, with such a grand procession?

  "Ten Thousand Flower Fairy! Qian Xin Zong's Ten Thousand Flower Fairy is descending upon the Southern Ocean, Qian Xin Zong is making a big move in the Southern Ocean!" The sturdy man beside him muttered to himself, his eyes gazing upwards, revealing an extreme look of reverence and admiration.

  The list is urgent, I hope brothers can smash the recommended votes, thank you!!
