Simultaneous travel: I am a talented person in all the worlds

Chapter 506 Hong Fu Follows
In the bustling South Street of Lanzhou Prefecture, inside a cosmetics shop.

The mortal Mo Yu leaned lazily against the octagonal table, his gaze seemingly casually falling on the counter not far away.

Dong Xuan'er rested her elbows on the counter, listening with great interest to the shopkeeper's introduction.

Completely unaware, this posture caused her round, perky breasts to be outlined by the taut fabric of her skirt, creating a voluptuous curve.

Mo Yu, a mortal, glanced at her casually a few times to make sure she wasn't paying attention to his direction. With a slight movement of his sleeve, the compass artifact quietly appeared in his palm.

With a slight release of magical power, the compass silently activated.

Soon, three points of light of different sizes appeared on the compass mirror.

Two of the points of light, standing close together, were himself and Dong Xuan'er.

There was another one about 700 or 800 meters away, and its strength was similar to Dong Xuan'er's.

The mortal Mo Yu ignored it and instead sent a wisp of divine sense into it, turning the four dials.

This compass was designed to prevent being tracked and monitored. In addition to its detection capabilities, it can also store and trace information recorded within twelve hours.

As he probed with his divine sense, he finally found a powerful fluctuation in the records.

Core Formation cultivator!

"..."

Mo Yu, a mortal, trembled slightly with her small hand.

Meanwhile, inside the upper room of the "Wangjiang Tower" a kilometer away.

Hong Fu held a cup of tea in her slender hand, coldly "watching" everything that was happening inside the rouge shop.

The room's doors and windows were tightly closed, but under the probing of her Core Formation Divine Sense, she felt as if she were actually there.

On the table, a black hood that could conceal one's aura lay quietly.

Without the hood to conceal her, her entire appearance and demeanor transformed from that of an unremarkable ordinary woman back into that of a peerless, powerful Core Formation cultivator with phoenix eyes.

"I didn't expect this little guy to be so capable." She casually pointed, and the teapot floated up on its own, adding a cup of tea.

Recalling the scenes he had uncovered with his divine sense along the way, a faint smile appeared on his cold face.

The seven major sects of Yue Kingdom showed a protective attitude towards Mo Yu, a "strategic" potential disciple with a high probability of forming a Golden Core in the future.

Not to mention going out on missions, they won't be allowed to show themselves easily even during the Crimson Trial. They will be allowed to cultivate in seclusion in their caves until they can no longer progress.

How could they possibly send a boy of his age and cultivation level on such a mission?

Not to mention Dong Xuan'er's existence.

This is a test.

Taking Mo Yu as her disciple was, after all, a spur-of-the-moment decision, without having a deep understanding of him.

Whether or not to invest heavily in him and cultivate him into Dong Xuan'er's future Daoist partner and protector, one must first assess his true worth.

The simplest way is to take it out for a spin.

Test their abilities by presenting them with tasks; test their trust by promising them benefits; test their hearts by enticing them with beauty.

Increasing his contact with Dong Xuan'er and cultivating their relationship was only the most superficial purpose.

Let the two of them be alone and see what his attitude towards Dong Xuan'er really is; this is the second layer.

The third level involves placing power and beauty nakedly before him to test his character and resolve.

The purpose of this mission was to test his abilities and see if he was a true talent or a "Daoist fanatic" who, despite his good aptitude, only knew how to bury himself in cultivation and was completely ignorant of human relationships. This was the fourth level.

However, no matter how Mo Yu performs, even if he submits a blank paper, as long as it's not a negative score, she will not really give up on this apprentice. Instead, she will focus on avoiding and training Mo Yu to address his weaknesses.

After all, for cultivators, strength is the most important thing.

Mo Yu's cultivation aptitude guarantees that his future achievements will at least reach the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Moreover, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy is a blank slate in terms of temperament and has great potential for development.

Therefore, Hong Fu chose a very complicated situation for him, but personally followed along to ensure that there would be no real risks in this test.

What if the mission itself is messed up?
Haha, raw silver ore isn't refined silver essence.

Without a Core Formation cultivator spending a lot of time refining it, that thing is no different from a rock.

For Huangfeng Valley, it is nothing more than dispensable.

"Little one, let your master see what other surprises await you?"

Hongfu picked up her teacup and took a small sip.

Its powerful divine sense could perceive every move that happened a thousand meters away.

……

Inside the rouge shop.

Beneath the calm exterior of the mortal Mo Yu, his heart was already in turmoil, filled with panic!
When he saw from the compass's backtracking records that Hong Fu had actually followed him, he almost lost his composure on the spot!

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Is this cheap master really that bored?! A dignified Core Formation Ancestor personally coming down to monitor a mere Qi Refining disciple like me? Is that right?!"

He guessed that someone would come along, but he thought that Hong Fu would send one senior sister, or even more, two.

But to his utter surprise, it was Hong Fu herself who came!

How terrifying is the divine sense of a Core Formation cultivator?
It can easily cover an area of ​​hundreds of miles, far exceeding the detection range of a compass or magical artifact!

The fact that he had secretly taken out the compass artifact just now was probably as ridiculous as a three-year-old playing hide-and-seek in the eyes of the other party, and was completely obvious.

In an instant, cold sweat almost seeped out of his back.

Mo Yu, a mortal, took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the rage within him and forcing himself to remain calm.

Good luck!

Fortunately, the compass's retrospective function was performed by probing the artifact with one's own divine sense. From the outside, the compass only showed three points of light representing cultivators in the Qi Refining stage.

While a magical artifact capable of detecting Qi Refining stage cultivators is certainly valuable, it's not entirely unreasonable.

'From now on, I must be extra careful!' The mortal Mo Yu kept reminding himself.

'The current situation is that I know she's watching, but she doesn't know I know she's watching. It's easier to fool her when the enemy is in the open and I'm in the dark…'

He quickly adjusted his plan.

Having already learned about the examiner's preferences and red flags, he naturally knew what behaviors would earn him points, such as decisiveness and composure; and what behaviors would detract from his score, such as frivolousness and womanizing.

Just then, he noticed the third point of light on the compass, rapidly approaching him.

"broken!"

He was startled, already guessing who the visitor was.

After all, this cosmetics shop was originally Xu Yan's property!

"Senior Brother Mo Yu, what do you think of the colors of these two boxes of rouge? Don't they suit my skin tone perfectly?" Dong Xuan'er excitedly ran over, holding two boxes of rouge with slightly different colors, and handed them to Mo Yu, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation.

The mortal Mo Yu was inwardly panicking, but on the surface, he remained calm and composed.
"Since you like them, junior sister, then please wrap them all up."

"Ugh?"

Dong Xuan'er was taken aback upon hearing this, and asked with some confusion, "Are we leaving already? Didn't Senior Brother say that there are some rogue cultivator friends you made before you entered the sect here, and we can find out some information?"

"Because my friend has already arrived. This is not the place to talk."

Mo Yu's smile remained gentle, but upon closer inspection, one could detect a hint of stiffness deep within it.

He hadn't expected that Hong Fu would come along in person!
Before the words were finished, a languid and charming voice came from the shop entrance, as if it had a hook that could make people's hearts itch.

"It's been a while since I last saw you, young master. Your cultivation has improved considerably. I haven't even entered the door yet, but your divine sense has already detected me. You are truly remarkable."

Dong Xuan'er looked in the direction of the sound and saw a plump and graceful young woman in a blue dress, leaning lazily against the door frame.

She held a round fan painted with a picture of a lady in her hand, half-covering her face, revealing only a pair of narrow, fox-like eyes that were captivating and alluring.

Up in the restaurant, Hong Fu, who had taken in everything here with her divine sense, paused slightly in mid-air with her teacup in hand.

What she despised most in her life were female cultivators who used seductive arts as their path, believing them to be wicked and prone to despicable acts.

Hong Fu slowly twirled the teacup in her hand, a hint of icy amusement flickering in her clear, phoenix-like eyes.

She wanted to see what her apprentice was really up to.

Inside the rouge shop, the mortal Mo Yu inexplicably felt a bone-chilling cold rise from his back, and his heart trembled.

He knew that he was walking a tightrope on the edge of a cliff, and if he made a slight mistake, he would suffer the same fate as Cheng Ge.

However, it is precisely at times like these that we must remain calm!

run?
Absolutely impossible!
Xu Yan's appearance must have already been detected by Hong Fu's consciousness.

The more he tries to hide, the more he tries to conceal something, and the more abnormal his behavior becomes, the more guilty he will appear, which will only hasten his death!
The only way to survive is to face it calmly!

"Senior Brother Mo Yu, who is she?" Dong Xuan'er felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

She instinctively sprang up from her seat, took a few steps to Mo Yu's side, grabbed his left arm, and pressed her entire soft body against him, as if to declare her ownership.

Her gaze swept back and forth over Xu Yan.

Full breasts, plump hips, a slender waist that could be encircled by a single hand, long and straight legs... I sadly discovered that, apart from being young, I had nothing that could compare to her.

What made her heart clench even more was the allure between his brows!
"Spring Technique"!
It was exactly the same as the seductive arts she practiced, but even more advanced!
Xu Yan's gaze swept over Dong Xuan'er's tense, predatory look, like a little animal guarding its food. She didn't say anything, but simply moved the fan aside slightly, revealing a charming and beautiful face. She looked at Mo Yu with a smile, a hint of mischievous anticipation.

"This is Fellow Daoist Xu Yan."

Mo Yu, a mortal, introduced himself without changing his expression, "I met him when I was traveling in Tai Nan Market. He 'helped' me a lot."

As he spoke, he naturally took out a storage bag that he had prepared beforehand from his bosom with his right hand, flicked it with his finger, and tossed it over.

Xu Yan easily caught the storage bag, scanned it with her divine sense, and her smile deepened. She covered her lips with a round fan and giggled:
"Young master's generosity is still so extravagant. I'm finding it hard to keep up... How about I offer myself tonight to repay part of it?"

These words were so explicit and bold that the shopkeeper and his staff were all shocked and stared wide-eyed.

Dong Xuan'er was so angry that she trembled all over, and she hugged Mo Yu's arm even tighter, about to start lashing out.

The mortal Mo Yu spoke first, his tone indifferent: "I need some information about Lanzhou Prefecture."

"Giggle..."

Xu Yan laughed even more heartily. She enjoyed Mo Yu's serious demeanor and found it extremely amusing. "Since you want to discuss serious matters, this place is indeed inconvenient. Let's find another place to 'talk' more deeply. I will tell you everything I know."

After saying that, she slowly turned around, her slender waist swaying slightly, causing her plump hips to draw a stunning arc. With light, graceful steps, she walked out.

The light, sheer dress fluttered in the wind, subtly outlining her alluring figure and sparking the imagination.

Dong Xuan'er gasped.

Even as a woman herself, she was captivated by the woman's allure and quickly turned her head to nervously look at her senior brother, Mo Yu, beside her.

The mortal Mo Yu looked at her with a puzzled expression, his gaze clear as water, showing no sign of being affected by the seductive magic.

Dong Xuan'er's heart, which had been in her throat, instantly calmed down, replaced by a deeper sense of respect and admiration.

'As expected of my Senior Brother Mo Yu! His resolve is unwavering! How could such a seductive and shameless woman possibly catch his eye!'

She felt secretly proud and delighted that her senior brother, Mo Yu, possessed such extraordinary composure.

However, what she didn't know was...

At this moment, the mortal Mo Yu felt no emotion, and even wanted to laugh a little, not because he was some kind of virtuous man who could remain unmoved even with a woman in his lap.

Rather, it's because... we've simply seen too much of it and are completely immune to it.

Back then, in the small courtyard of Tainan Valley, let alone just twisting her waist a couple of times, it was common for Xu Yan to be dressed in all sorts of strange "magical robes" and made into eighteen different poses that were a thousand times more shameful than this.

Sometimes, when the mood struck, even her more mature and alluring older sister, Xu Mei, would join in...

Having already tasted the Manchu Han Imperial Feast, how could someone be lured away by these two insignificant twists and turns?

"Tainan Market? Fellow Daoist?"

Upstairs in the restaurant, Hong Fu held a teacup, listening to Mo Yu's impeccable words, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed.

An individual like Xu Yan is not uncommon in the cultivation world.

They operate in the gray area, relying on various markets and districts to make a living by providing intelligence and facilitating the buying and selling of goods.

For independent cultivators without a sect or affiliation, dealing with such people is almost unavoidable in order to gain a foothold in the cruel world of cultivation.

Otherwise, the acquisition of cultivation techniques, the exchange of resources, and the collection of intelligence will be fraught with difficulties, making progress impossible.

Although, this scene before her might be a carefully orchestrated performance by her cunning little apprentice, who, after becoming aware of her presence, put on a good show for her.

But... let's not even talk about what methods a newly initiated Qi Refining disciple could possibly have to discover a Core Formation cultivator like himself.

Does a boy who is not even sixteen years old really have such shrewdness and flawless acting skills?

More importantly!
The most crucial point that led Hong Fu to make an exception and accept him as her disciple without conducting any background checks was...

His vital energy has not been lost!

This is the fundamental reason why Hong Fu trusted Mo Yu and didn't think of anything else sordid.

A cultivator's primordial yang energy is pure and precious. Once it is leaked out, no matter how much it is made up for, it will never be as perfect again.

With her Core Formation stage divine sense, she could see through the pure and perfect Yang energy in her disciple's body at a glance, and it was definitely not a disguise.

As long as he retains his virility, what difference does it make if he did have some past entanglements with a woman like Xu Yan?
He was just young and naive, and was easily deceived by this kind of wicked woman.

Furthermore, from another perspective, being able to remain unmoved and chaste even under the temptation of such a woman...

The steadfastness of my disciple's will is probably even more remarkable than I had anticipated.
