Transmigrated into the love rival of a powerful and arrogant protagonist, forced into a daily love t

Under the guidance of Yu Ge and Nalan Liyue.

Xiao Wangchen, Yu Yundu, and Wu Jinli also arrived at Fuyu Palace.

The Immortal Palace of the legendary number one swordsman on the Tongxuan Continent.

In their previous memories, the residence of such a master must have been shrouded in celestial mist, with the cries of cranes, and an aura of divine protection.

As a result, when they arrived at Fuyu Palace, they discovered that there was such a stingy Venerable in the world.

Not only was Fuyu Palace completely empty, but even a significant portion of the plaster on the walls had been scraped away, leaving the already empty palace shell thinner than before.

That's right, after Yu Ge and Nalan Liyue left.

Venerable Fuyu suddenly discovered something.

That means even if he can't sell the Fuyu Palace itself, he can sell the plaster of the Fuyu Palace walls!

Venerable Fuyu, upholding the virtue of "no business without guile"—or rather, "frugal and thrifty"—actually used his sword energy to scrape off the plaster from the already bare cement walls of the Immortal Palace.

Then, Venerable Fuyu used his immortal power to squeeze and knead the plaster from the wall into the shape of a pill.

And so, he took a pile of wall plaster, pretended to be an alchemist, and sold these "pills" that had no spiritual energy whatsoever to a demon cultivator on the black market.

As for why that demon cultivator wanted to buy wall plaster.

It's like this...

On the black market.

Wearing a cloak "borrowed" from Venerable Changyu's residence, Venerable Fuyu grabbed the demon cultivator and began to earnestly promote his product.

"Young man, have you ever heard of the True Essence Pill?"

Demon cultivator: ?

Upon seeing this, Venerable Fuyu sighed deeply, as if expressing some emotion, "The world is boundless and vast, and the true nature has been transformed into one."

"I observe that people in this world are all caught up in fame and fortune, forgetting the true nature of life, and the same applies to spiritual cultivation."

Venerable Fuyu patted the demon cultivator on the shoulder and nodded seriously. "Young man, what is your purpose in cultivating?"

The masked young demon cultivator: "So cool and awesome!"

Venerable Fuyu's eyes lit up, and he quickly grasped the boy's hand, exclaiming, "A kindred spirit!"

"Um, but..."

Venerable Fuyu abruptly changed the subject, his tone suddenly turning somber as he asked, "Do you know why you only reached the Nascent Soul stage at the age of seventeen?"

The young demon cultivator shook his head. "Perhaps it's because I possess extraordinary talent, no less than that top-ranked cultivator on the Azure Cloud List who's just selling his prize?"

In his heart, Venerable Fuyu thought: Why are they trying to put down my disciple?

Venerable Fuyu sighed and quickly shook his head, "What's there to be happy about at seventeen? You've already lost your true self, and your future potential has been greatly compressed!"

Upon hearing that his potential had been compressed, the young demon cultivator was immediately alarmed. "Does senior have a solution?"

The masked genius seemed very eager.

Venerable Fuyu looked troubled, "This, that, sigh..."

The world's number one swordsman, wearing a 'borrowed' robe, rubbed his hands together and took out a mud pill from his pocket.

Then, in a serious tone, he asked the young demon cultivator, "Do you want to solve your problem of insufficient potential?"

The young demon cultivator nodded, "Yes!"

Have you been experiencing lower back pain, fatigue, or general weakness lately?

The demon cultivator nodded frantically, "That's right!"

Are you thirsty and want to drink water? Are you hungry and want to eat?

The young demon cultivator was greatly shocked. "You even know that?!"

"That's right, it's because your potential has been limited recently, and you've lost your true self."

Venerable Fuyu shook the mud pill in his hand, smiled earnestly at the young demon cultivator, and said, "True Essence Pill: one restores vitality, two bring boundless energy, three enhance potential, and four grant immortality!"

"Wow!"

The mysterious demon cultivator's eyes gleamed, and he hurriedly pressed, "The True Essence Pill... uh, this young master wants it!"

Finally, the two parties traded a box of "True Essence Pills" for a price of one thousand spirit stones per pill.

As for the raw materials for the True Essence Pill, they are naturally...

From the residence of the world's number one swordsman... wall plaster!

The mysterious young demon cultivator asked, "Senior, why does this True Pill seem to have no spiritual energy fluctuations?"

Venerable Fuyu: "Authenticity, authenticity, returning to simplicity!"

The young demon cultivator asked, "Then why is such a precious elixir so unpalatable?"

Venerable Fuyu: "Every medicine is three parts bitter!"

The young demon cultivator: "...Senior, I feel like I've been tricked?"

However, by the time the third question was asked, Venerable Fuyu had already disappeared.

And so, the demon prince, who was visiting the human world for the first time, exchanged three million spirit stones for a box of wall plaster.

even……

After seeing Venerable Fuyu's figure disappear, the Demon Prince sighed deeply in the direction where Venerable Fuyu had vanished.

"Wow, no wonder he's a reclusive master who refined the Return to Simplicity Pill!"

That's right, both of them felt they got the better deal.

……

Inside the Fuyu Hall.

As Yu Ge and the others entered Fuyu Palace, they felt a chill in the air.

The problem with Fuyu Hall now is not just that it's drafty, but that the walls are on the verge of collapsing.

Venerable Fuyu dug too deep into the wall; if he dug any deeper, Fuyu Palace would collapse.

Yu Ge's face darkened, realizing that she could no longer live nearby.

This is clearly a dangerous building!

Nalan Liyue looked around, somewhat frightened. The girl tugged at Yu Ge's sleeve and whispered, "Senior Brother, was Fuyu Palace robbed?"

Yu Ge shook her head and replied seriously, "No way, there shouldn't be anyone in the world who would rob Fuyu Palace."

Xiao Wangchen suddenly became interested and answered loudly, "I know that. It's impossible for anyone to rob Fuyu Palace, because Venerable Fuyu is one of the three Venerables of the Human Race and the number one sword cultivator in the Tongxuan Continent!"

He finished speaking.

The young Long Aotian's eyes were filled with sincerity and excitement.

Yu Ge: "...That shouldn't be the primary reason, right?"

She looked around at the pitted walls and fell into deep thought.

Even in this dilapidated Fuyu Palace, where not even the walls are left, thieves and robbers would come and throw in two bags of rice before leaving during festivals, let alone rob.

There's nothing here to steal!

Simultaneously.

Within Xiao Wangchen's soul, the old man in the ring, the carefree supreme being, also fell into deep thought.

"Who is Venerable Fuyu? This is so embarrassing! They've even dug up their own wall..."

Xiao Wangchen responded in his divine sense: "Perhaps it's because sword cultivators require a lot of resources?"

The Supreme Being of Freedom: "This guy is the most bizarre one I've ever met..."

Even if a sword cultivator is extremely poor, they wouldn't stoop so low as to dig up plaster from walls to disguise pills and deceive demons.

The demon prince, who was far away and thought he had obtained a priceless treasure, suddenly sneezed several times: "What's going on? The weather in the human world is really unpredictable."

The boy looked at the mud pill in his hand again, chuckled, and said, "The True Essence Pill for Returning to Simplicity... After I consume this whole box of True Essence Pills, I'll probably advance to the Nascent Soul stage!"

These past few days, the boy has even slept with this box of "True Essence Pills" in his arms.

This is his future!

Returning to simplicity, that senior was amazing, he was truly his benefactor!

After consuming a few True Essence Pills, the young man looked up at the sky and laughed arrogantly.

"I am the number one genius of the Tongxuan Continent..."

"Yu Ge, people say that you are the number one genius because you possess the Heavenly Illusionary Divine Eye and the Supreme Bone. Little do they know that I have obtained the True Essence Pill and am about to comprehend the origin of the Great Dao!"

"...I've come to take your dog's life!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"..."

……

at the same time.

Fuyu Hall.

Venerable Fuyu, who had just fed three million spirit stones to his natal sword, walked out of the main hall.

When Venerable Fuyu saw his two disciples return, he was overjoyed. "Oh, Ge'er, Liyue, your master has been waiting for you!"

Yu Ge: ...What's with this bad feeling?
