Chapter 18: Going to the Sea, Was It Intentional? (2/2)

“Even though the Harmony Sect had a great reputation, it truly lacks depth and only understands some superficial matters. I hope Brother Ning does not hold it against me…”

When Qin Jiuyou’s expression stiffened, he gave off the vibe of an unapproachable handsome man, but once he smiled, the whole facade crumbled.

At that moment, he slightly hunched his back, wearing a fawning smile that made him appear quite lewd.

He truly lived up to his identity as a disciple of Harmony Sect.

Ning Wuxie waved his hand, indicating it was no big deal.

“It is understandable. Brother Qin also means well, but the cultivation method I practice emphasizes the male yang body, so it is really not appropriate to leak it casually.”

Ning Wuxie stated.

“Brother Ning is truly understanding. In fact, I came this time to formally express the goodwill of Harmony Sect.”

Qin Jiuyou pulled out a spirit ticket from his pocket, inscribed with thirty thousand.

“Thirty thousand spirit stones, please accept it, Brother Ning.”

“Oh, this is too embarrassing. Just look at you…”

Ning Wuxie accepted it without hesitation and stuffed it into his pocket.

Qin Jiuyou’s mouth twitched as he watched Ning Wuxie’s shameless demeanor.

“These are my savings accumulated during my time stationed at Hermit Valley. I have given all of it to Brother Ning…”

Qin Jiuyou wanted to hold back but couldn’t.

These were his hard-earned spirit stones, and because of a single remark from a senior in the sect, everything had gone to Ning Wuxie.

He gazed at Ning Wuxie’s chest with a mournful expression, as if he could see his own little money inside through the fabric.

Ning Wuxie patted his chest, feeling no psychological burden at all.

“Is that so?” he casually asked, already thinking about sending him off.

“Indeed… Harmony Sect never provides us with funding; we rely entirely on ourselves. Junior Sister Yue has some means, but… my method is not popular in the martial world.”

“The market is too small.”

Qin Jiuyou wore a sorrowful face, and Ning Wuxie had no idea what market he was referring to—whether it was for male or female cultivators.

Only in his heart did he scoff at how low the standards were for cultivators from Harmony Sect.

“Then how did Brother Qin save up money? Thirty thousand spirit stones is not a small amount.” Ning Wuxie struck a nerve.

“It’s like making movies, recording some exciting programs with a recording orb and selling them to loose cultivators in the valley…”

“Some themes sell well, while others do not. After accumulating so much, I have become an amateur theater owner. Sigh!”

Ning Wuxie was taken aback by this, a recording orb?

Wasn’t that a magical tool invented by Spirit Pavilion to record surrounding scenes?

In his previous life at Human Sect, he often used recording orbs to solve murder cases among cultivators or to exorcise monsters.

What were these Harmony Sect people using it for?

“Brother Qin’s business acumen is truly remarkable; I admire it.”

“Actually, I originally planned that if you were interested in Junior Sister Yue, I would let you star in a film… featuring a Refining Qi genius as the main character, it would definitely sell like hotcakes. At that time, it would be sixty-forty, far exceeding these thirty thousand spirit stones!”

“But since Brother Ning is unwilling, then forget it.”

Qin Jiuyou suddenly felt he had said too much. His emotions were a bit out of control due to his private funds being depleted, so he hurriedly stopped talking and ceased his complaints.

“Just some nonsense, Brother Ning, do not take it to heart. I still represent the goodwill of Harmony Sect and came to have a good relationship with Brother Ning. In the future, when Brother Ning steps into the Nine Realms of the Immortal Path, please take care of our small sect.”

“Then I will take my leave first.”

Qin Jiuyou performed a bow and prepared to turn and leave.

“Wait a moment, Brother Qin.” Ning Wuxie, lost in thought, suddenly called out to him as he was about to leave.

“What if I said I was willing to be the male lead in your film?”
