Chapter 1318 Always A Step Ahead

Madam Shun is from the [Sunshine Pavilion] — she's the mistress, controlling all its power. However, despite its poetic name, the pavilion is, in fact, a chain of brothels that target cultivators — including Emperors and Empyreans. All the pavilion's women — and men — cultivate Yin-Yang Dao or a Source Technique about Dual Cultivation.

Cultivators can visit when they need some help with their cultivation. If they pay for the lowest Tier 1 service, they can dual cultivate with a partner of their choice, but only through holding hands. Such service is crucial to cultivators below rank ten as they can use it to break through bottlenecks, but it can only provide some cultivation bonus to Great Emperors and other paths.

Tier 2 services involve physical intercourse, and the effects are even better. It's possible to increase a person's cultivation by a few percent if they have just become Great Emperors. Tier 3 services involved women with their Primordial Yin and Yang intact, making the process even more potent. That's not to mention other benefits like tempering the body and soul.

Tier 4 and 5 services involved people with special physiques, with the difference being that Tier 5 girls also have their Primordial Yin and Yang preserved.

In the cultivation world, there is something called a [Cauldron Physique], a unique physique with excellent dual cultivation properties. Devil Cultivators love this type of physique as it is the best way to strengthen their foundation, and other cultivators love it because it's the best way to break through bottlenecks. Of course, women despise it because this physique primarily exists in women, and the fate of the "cauldron" is always terrible.

The Sunshine Pavilion provided cauldrons but at an exuberant price. All their prices are beyond expensive, but Tier 4 reaches another stratosphere, and that's because the price also involves numeration to ensure the owner of the Cauldron Physique can recuperate. Well, at least, that's their explanation of why the price is so expensive, but people know better. [Cauldrons] have terrible fates because others forcefully plunder their Primordial Yin, injuring their bodies and souls and even destroying their cultivation foundation. However, the Sunshine Pavilion used a harmonious Yin-Yang Duel Cultivation Technique, meaning the Cauldron Physiques benefit the owner instead of harming them. So, everyone with some knowledge knows their so-called price is bullshit.

Unfortunately, many people rushed to utilize their services despite knowing this. Most people's talent cannot take them far after becoming immortal, so after being stuck in one place for millions of yuan epochs, many people will pay the price of an increase of 1% in their cultivation. Even people with talent and resources will suffer from bottlenecks, and sometimes, using the Sunshine Pavilion's services might be cheaper than the alternative methods of their factions.

Emperor Kong has dealt with the Sunshine Pavilion, not because he used their services but because they are also one of the largest spy networks in the world. When men are in their most "relaxed" state, they can easily open their mouths and spill information. Meanwhile, the women who use the pavilion's services are often secretive about it due to societal pressure, making it easier to get information about them. Lastly, the pavilion has a system in which they can offer discounts if someone provides them with valuable information.

With all their branches scattered worldwide, the Sunshine Pavillion is among the best in the information business, so Emperor Kong has dealt with them. However, his problem with Madam Shun is not her business or some kind of contradiction that happened between them. She wanted to open a Yin-Yang School in the Academy.

"Not a bad move, old man," Wang Wei commented. "However, this is not enough to stop me." He raised his hand to condense a few karmic threads, mainly Emperor Kong, Lin Fan, Xu Shi, and the lower dimension Academy. Emperor Kong owed him much more karma than the latter admitted due to everything he did for the academy in the lower dimension.

So, what Wang Wei plans to do is to force him to repay that karma, or he will suffer a potent and immediate backlash that not only damages his soul but also affects his luck. And what's the best way to repay that karmic debt? Of course, it's from that compensation from Heavenly Dao. Wang Wei manipulated the threads to do his bidding, ensuring Emperor Kong would not notice anything until he received the compensation. By then, he'll have no opportunity to delay and must pay immediately.

'Heavenly Dao is planning for Transcendent Factions, but there must be a difference between them,' Wang Wei sneered. He had no personal grudge against Emperor Kong or the academy but must ensure his faction's supremacy in the upcoming era. After all, in this world, more power means more resources, so Wang Wei — who always knew this — never stopped striving for more power and resources for the sect.

Wang Wei bit his candy, enjoying the unique sweetness with the ability to improve his mood. If not for his cultivation level, this thing might affect his state of mind, which is truly impressive. This city was truly remarkable. Even the candy maker had some achievements in the Dao of Cooking.

'I'm starting to wonder whether I bragged too much that day,' Wang Wei thought. With such an impressive palate, could he create a dish that makes her swallow those words back? He sighed, feeling his future was bleak.

Wang Wei headed toward the next restaurant. However, he did not take a few steps when something landed from the sky before him. He saw a beautiful woman in golden metallic armor from shoulder to toe, looking like a Valkyrie from Earth's myth.

"What can I do for you, young lady?" Wang Wei asked, already having a prediction.

"I've been ordered to hand you this token and a message: 'You've wasted enough time.'"

Wang Wei's lips twitched. He knew the suffering that awaited him, so he's been delaying for the past few days, trying to enjoy himself as much as possible. However, it seems this future wife cannot wait to beat him up.

Wang Wei waved his hand, and the token flew into his palm. The Valkyrie woman did not say anything else and flew away. Meanwhile, Wang Wei sighed before activating the token, disappearing from the middle of the street.
