Chapter 17 Inequalities - Ready in a Flash
With Wei Niang's appearance, Xiao Ming reacted well, but the other two became somewhat uncomfortable.
"Can't I participate in this?" Wei Niang smiled slightly.
"That's not what I meant, it's just..."
"But I'm a female cultivator too, right? Logically speaking, I should support Liu Di and her group, right? Even if I don't take sides, I should at least support them silently." Wei Niang smiled as she looked at Xiao Ming.
You're oversimplifying things.
Wei Niang also knew that, given her status as a female cultivator, if she didn't explain things clearly, others probably wouldn't feel comfortable traveling with her.
"You still remember the third-tier demonic beast, the Fire Sun Bird, right?"
"Of course I remember." Not long ago, Xiao Ming received the spirit stones that Elder Mo had given him.
"A while ago, Elder Mo asked me to handle these precious third-tier demon beast materials, so I went around North Street looking for suitable merchants to buy and sell them. At that time, I was in a private room, and I had just closed the door and was about to reach into my pocket to take out my storage bag when the shopkeeper suddenly looked like he had seen a ghost. He screamed and burst through the door, saying that I was trying to frame him. Because of this, I almost got blacklisted by all the shops on the street..."
Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately understood.
Ever since the incident involving Manager Feng of Yuanbaoge, everyone in the shops on North Street has been living in fear. Although Wei Niang is most likely not that kind of person, what if she is? If the door closes, who can say for sure?
Because of this incident, Wei Niang lost a lot of face, and in the end, she had to ask Old Mo to vouch for her before the matter was finally settled.
"What do you mean by female cultivators needing to unite, female cultivators helping female cultivators... it's all just a profit-making business. If we let these sluts keep causing trouble, how will we ordinary female cultivators survive?" Wei Niang scoffed at the ideas promoted by Liu Di and other female cultivators.
"Besides, I'm a businessman. Why wouldn't I do business that makes money?"
"That's right, I can testify that what Fellow Daoist Wei said is true, and I am willing to vouch for him," Yuan Qing stepped forward and said.
With Yuan Qing's guarantee, and considering that Wei Niang was a well-known female cultivator in Wuyifang, Ye Lin and Xi Ming dispelled their concerns.
"In that case, with our strength, dealing with those few scoundrels that Liu Di has recruited will be no problem at all." Ye Lin knew Liu Di's situation best, so seeing that these two were both at the fifth level of Qi Refining, he immediately felt confident.
"In that case, where is Liu Di? Let's set off now," Xi Ming said impatiently.
"Rest assured, everyone, I was prepared." Yuan Qing then took out a small jade box from his sleeve.
The jade box was opened, revealing a crystal butterfly that was sparkling and translucent.
"This is an Ice Crystal Butterfly, which is extremely sensitive to certain scents. You all just need to follow this Ice Crystal Butterfly, and you will soon find your target." Yuan Qing smiled coldly.
Everything in her Yuanbaoge is worth its price; there's no such thing as getting something for nothing.

On a narrow cliffside in Flame Valley, six female cultivators were struggling to traverse the path. This was Liu Di and the Jimei Squad that she had organized.
Since none of the girls were miners and they looked down on such heavy and dirty work, they were not familiar with the valley and got lost several times, almost straying into the Red Mist Zone. They had been in quite a mess these past two days.
Liu Di walked at the front, holding a broken array compass in her hand. Although only half of it remained, the compass still had a pointer to guide the way. After some effort, she finally found her destination.
This is a valley in the mountains, with a low cliff in front of it, which looks nothing special to ordinary people.
However, as a cultivator, one can clearly sense the abnormality of the surrounding spiritual energy at such close range, indicating that a magic array is hidden here.
The key to this magic array was the compass in Liu Di's hand, but unfortunately, the compass was already damaged.
However, even so, if there were a cultivator skilled in formations here, they might be able to find the flaws in this formation by using the attraction from this compass.
So Liu Di walked up to the eldest female cultivator among the four and said expectantly, "Sister Fu, it's up to you now."
Upon hearing this, the girl surnamed Fu was taken aback and looked at Liu Di with a blank expression. "Why are you looking at me? I don't know anything."
"Sister Fu, don't you always say you have a good understanding of formations?"
"I did say that, but I won't break the magic array," said the girl surnamed Fu, shaking her head.
Upon hearing this, Liu Di frowned and immediately asked, "Sister Fu, what do you mean? Since you understand magic arrays, why can't you break them?"
"I don't understand formations, but my husband is a famous formation master in Wuyifang."
Her husband is a formation master, so what's wrong with her saying she understands formations? It's easy to understand.
"Then why didn't you bring your husband along?" Liu Di asked, suppressing her anger.
"I divorced him two years ago. I've been making progress all along. He's not good enough for me," said the woman surnamed Fu, a hint of pride on her face.
"You..." Liu Di was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Seeing this, several girls quickly stepped forward to offer advice and comfort.
"Sister Liu, I think Sister Fu did the right thing. I know that male cultivator. He's so ordinary, yet he's so confident. He's not good enough for Sister Fu. It's too harsh for you to blame Sister Fu for something like this," the girl surnamed Yang advised.
"That's right, we sisters need to unite, sisters help sisters!"
The girl surnamed Fu looked aggrieved. "I said that, but that doesn't mean I really have to know it."
The inequality is solved instantly.
"Then what do you suggest we do?" Liu Di was speechless with frustration.
At this moment, she was really wavering. Could these guys she had won over really accomplish anything?
If this were told to Shi Huai, with his abilities, finding a way to break the formation would be no difficult task.
But the thought only flashed through her mind before she quickly dismissed it. That greedy and selfish fellow would be incredibly kind if he could share even a little bit of the treasures in the cave with her.
At this moment, she desperately wished Yang Zhiyuan were here. This younger sister Yang was shrewd and capable, and would definitely be her greatest help.
"Let's just go in, there are so many of us anyway," said the girl surnamed Yang with a confident expression.
"We female cultivators are no less capable than male cultivators, and moreover, we female cultivators are more united. Breaking this formation will not be difficult at all."
Encouraged by this Yang-surname girl, the other girls immediately became excited as well.
Although Liu Di had her concerns, she had no choice but to do so now that things had come to this.
Holding the broken magic array compass in her hands, Liu Di led the group of beauties into the magic array.
