The chosen one's mentality has collapsed; this guy is inherently rebellious.

Li Taixuan did not know whether saving this guy was a blessing or a curse.

Even he hadn't expected that one tael of silver could sell off Wen Rushui.

He had finally found someone with talent, yet it was a human trafficker.

If he wasn't careful, he might even get sold off himself.

"You're awake."

Li Taixuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth; he did this on purpose, just to tell this guy that he had been injured to save him.

"Who are you?"

Li Taixuan had a face full of black lines when he heard this.

"If I hadn't saved you just now, you would already be dead."

As Li Taixuan's voice trailed off, Chu Xinghe looked at him with wariness.

"Why did you save me? What are you after?"

"I have no money, and I'm just a trash; what is there about me worth saving?"

Li Taixuan: ???

He felt like something was off, but what this guy said actually made sense.

Li Taixuan took a deep breath, suppressing the surging Qi in his body.

"Has anyone ever told you that you actually have talent to Cultivate?"

Chu Xinghe looked at Li Taixuan with a skeptical gaze.

"If you said I had talent for fishing, I wouldn't argue with you."

"But saying I have talent to Cultivate—you're just messing with me. If I had talent to Cultivate, would I still be selling fish every day?"

Li Taixuan looked Chu Xinghe up and down.

It looked like this guy really didn't know how terrifying his talent was.

As long as he could help him step into the path of Cultivate, everything would fall into place.

Although this guy was a bit rebellious, he could be slowly trained in the future.

"The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish; you should understand this logic, right? Why not choose to take a gamble?" Li Taixuan said with a tone of enticement.

"It's all plains here, where would there be big waves? Besides, these fish can only be sold to poor people; anyone with a little money wouldn't eat this stuff, so how is it expensive?" Chu Xinghe retorted.

Li Taixuan: Damn it, my mentality has collapsed; what kind of stubborn mule is this?

No wonder you can't Cultivate; you're such a contrarian, you don't believe anything anyone says, right?

I saved your life, and you still don't believe me.

"Fine, let's change the subject." Li Taixuan calmed his mood.

"Why did you offend that woman and even sell her to a Brothel? Do you know who she is?"

After Li Taixuan finished speaking, he noticed the look of disdain in Chu Xinghe's eyes.

"In the middle of the night, a strange woman buys my fish and says she wants to go home with me, and she's dressed so seductively—she clearly isn't a good person."

"Who knows if she was setting a trap, eyeing the money I made from selling fish."

"I've heard that various demons are appearing now; what if that woman was a monster in disguise?"

"Even if that's not the case, it's dangerous for a woman to be out at night. I found a place for her, which was also for her own good. Seeing as she looks decent, maybe she can even survive in a Brothel."

Li Taixuan opened his mouth. So, you think you're a good person?

Looking at Chu Xinghe speaking earnestly, he felt that this guy in front of him really thought that way.

"It's really hard on you. That woman is a practitioner of Cultivate; you should have seen that before you passed out." Li Taixuan sighed.

He noticed Chu Xinghe rubbing his chin, not answering his question.

"She's a practitioner of Cultivate and came looking for me; you're also a practitioner of Cultivate and came looking for me. Could it be that I really have a special talent to Cultivate?" Chu Xinghe muttered to himself.

"That's right, you do indeed have talent to Cultivate, otherwise I wouldn't have saved you." Li Taixuan felt happy inside seeing this guy start to believe he had talent to Cultivate.

As long as he believes it, that's enough. I am also a practitioner of Cultivate, and I can help you unlock your Physique.

"So, if I join those large Sects, I should be able to become a True Disciple, right?"

Li Taixuan heard Chu Xinghe's thought and his mentality almost collapsed. Damn it.

I already told you I'm a practitioner of Cultivate and told you that you have talent to Cultivate, yet you're thinking about those large Sects.

"You have talent to Cultivate, but those large Sects have no way to help you unlock it; I can help you unlock it." Li Taixuan said, puffing out his chest.

Chu Xinghe's eyes were filled with surprise. "Then help me unlock it."

Li Taixuan sneered. "Why should I help you unlock it?"

Chu Xinghe frowned and struggled to take out two taels of silver from his chest. "Here, this is all my money; I'll give it all to you."

Li Taixuan felt so tired. Are you really not understanding, or are you pretending not to?

I've said so much, and you think I just want your money.

However, Li Taixuan realized he had been too hasty.

This guy had always made a living by fishing, and looking at his thin appearance, he often didn't have enough to eat.

To him, this money must be more important than his life. He must still be doubting whether what I said is true. What a silly boy.

"You can take me as your master; I don't want your money, I will teach you personally." Li Taixuan said firmly.

Chu Xinghe shook his head. "You should go. Thank you for saving me. I have nothing else to thank you with; take all this silver."

Chu Xinghe put down the silver and turned to leave.

Li Taixuan was dumbfounded. Wait? What's going on? Big brother, explain yourself! You're putting me in a very passive position here.

"Wait for me! If you don't follow me, you will die. That woman won't let you go. Do you know who that woman is?"

Chu Xinghe stopped in his tracks? "Who is it?"

Li Taixuan said with a grave expression. "Her name is Wen Rushui, a Quasi-Emperor Expert."

Li Taixuan kept staring at Chu Xinghe's eyes. When he mentioned Wen Rushui, the guy looked confused. When he mentioned the Quasi-Emperor cultivation level, he looked even more confused.

"That must be very strong, right?" Chu Xinghe reacted after a long while, saying uncertainly.

Li Taixuan took a deep breath and recounted the whole story. As he spoke, he noticed that Chu Xinghe's gaze had changed. He even snatched back the silver he had just given him. The way he looked at him was like looking at a con artist.

"What kind of look is that?" Li Taixuan couldn't stand this guy's gaze.

"A Quasi-Emperor Expert, standing at the pinnacle of this world, eyeing me, a fish seller? Are you kidding me?"

"Maybe it's not me that Wen Rushui is eyeing, but you. And since you want to take me as a disciple so badly, maybe you and her have a grudge."

Li Taixuan opened his mouth. Damn. How did your brain suddenly become so sharp?

"As long as you stay away from me, my life won't be in danger."

"It's only by following you that I'm in danger."

"So, please leave. The world of Cultivate is great, but I just want to live a simple life."

Chu Xinghe stood up to leave. Li Taixuan hurriedly stood up.

"Wait, don't refuse so quickly. I really have the ability to protect you!"

Chu Xinghe looked at Li Taixuan. "What is your cultivation level?"

Li Taixuan helplessly said, "God Emperor."

"According to what you just said, above God Emperor is Saint, Great Saint, Heavenly Saint, and Quasi-Emperor."

"I don't know how big the gap is, but I understand that the higher you go in Cultivate, the harder it gets."

"By the time you reach the Quasi-Emperor level, it will be too late; the chance will have long passed."
