Ming Xuan Shuang was no doubt overjoyed, this was exactly what he wanted to see. Ming Zhi Tian was so foolish to openly reject the Sect Master, making him lose face, and give up such great resources and a bright future.
He berated Ming Zhi Tian, "Truly ignorant of heaven and earth, and unappreciative of favors!"
Ming Zhi Tian wanted to curse him, "None of your damn business!"
After thinking for a moment, he held back. It was better to have one less problem than one more.
Ming Zhi Tian approached Yun Shu. After meeting the two senior sisters, Yin Dong Mei and Ren Qiu Yue took their abundant cultivation resources and went to cultivate.
Ming Zhi Tian cupped his hands in a respectful salute and also prepared to take his leave, "Disciple also wishes to cultivate and become strong as soon as possible, so I will take my leave first."
Yun Shu, filled with curiosity, said, "Wait, why did you refuse the Sect Master? You know, being able to be taken under the Sect Master's wing, the cultivation resources might be ten times what the direct disciples receive monthly!"
Ming Zhi Tian shrugged, completely indifferent, "Because you are beautiful."
"I'm leaving, bye bye." He slipped away.
Yun Shu was left standing there, stunned for quite a while. She touched her flushed cheeks, "He... he actually complimented me... on my beauty?"
It had been a very, very long time since any man had praised her beauty, she couldn't recall how long... A maiden's heart suddenly ignited from her buried emotions, leaving her flustered and unsure.
As night fell, Ming Zhi Tian took out the abundant cultivation resources he had acquired today. There were no small number of Saint Grade Pills for improving cultivation, Superior Grade Cultivation Saint Grade Pills, Celestial Crystals, and Profound Crystals.
He began to cultivate. To find the Star Goddess Empress, he had to hasten his cultivation to a level where he could truly contend with the Heavenly God Realm. Today, for the first time in a long time, he felt fear and dread. It was in the face of a true Heavenly God Realm expert that he felt as if his clothes had been stripped off, his every inch exposed and seen through.
He detested this feeling. It was the condescending gaze of a divine powerhouse towards the weak, the suffocating sensation of the powerless clinging to life.
Tomorrow was the delivery day for the Divine Meteor Celestial Stones from the Myriad Artifact Pavilion. He was ready, bringing enough valuables and tens of millions, a total of three hundred million Profound Crystals, all for the creation of a Sacred Divine Mechanical Puppet, similar to an eternal emperor, or even more formidable than an eternal emperor.
Late into the night, a maid from the Celestial Sky Pavilion of the Profound Heaven Sect found Ming Zhi Tian in the Six Profound Hall, "Madam requests that direct disciple Ming Zhi Tian go see her. She has something to discuss."
Ming Zhi Tian was puzzled. Even the maid was at the Eighth Heaven of the Supreme Ultimate Realm. "Madam? Which madam?"
The maid replied, "Naturally, the Sect Master's wife."
Ming Zhi Tian asked again, "What does Madam want me for?"
The maid became impatient, "Presumptuous! Are you coming or not?! How would I know? Go ask! Are you coming or not? Do you want me to use force?"
"No!" Ming Zhi Tian quickly stepped out, glancing at her, "Senior Sister, I'm coming."
He muttered with dissatisfaction, "So fierce, you'll never get married."
The maid stopped, "What did you say?"
Ming Zhi Tian sweated profusely, "N-nothing."
The maid clasped her hands at her waist and took Ming Zhi Tian into the air, "I am merely acting on orders. Let's not make things difficult for each other. When we reach the Celestial Sky Pavilion, it's best you watch what you say."
Ming Zhi Tian nodded, "Understood."
The Sect Master's residence of the Profound Heaven Sect...
The Celestial Sky Pavilion—
The maid led Ming Zhi Tian to a secluded side room. The purple gauze curtain swayed slightly, and an intoxicatingly fragrant aroma wafted from within. Those with unstable minds would instantly become lost in fantasies, unable to extricate themselves.
"Madam, Ming Zhi Tian has arrived," the maid inquired in a low voice from within the room.
From inside came an elegant and charming voice of a mature woman, "Oh, did you trouble him?"
