My Fake Daoist Partner Took It Seriously [Cultivation]

[A money-loving bottom with ordinary cultivation talent but maxed-out talent for miscellaneous skills x A pure-hearted top who knows nothing but cultivation, even when imprisoning someone he only knows how to pursue pure love]

When someone of mediocre aptitude gets bound to a century-to-ascension System, the result is that he cannot even beat the golden training dummy included with the System.

If the chief disciple of his sect hadn't stepped in, Rong Xu felt he really might have been beaten to death by that training dummy.

For the sake of staying alive, Rong Xu chose to bind himself to the sect's chief disciple with a dissolvable cultivation-partner contract. The other party used the System to cultivate, while Rong Xu relied on him to stay alive.

Even so, their arrangement drew endless criticism from people within the sect.

Facing all those strange looks, Rong Xu put out his signature offer: "Superior-grade Meridian-Cleansing Pills, one hundred spirit stones each, limited stock, buy now!"

Everyone: !!! A single mid-grade Meridian-Cleansing Pill already costs a full eighty high-grade spirit stones. Superior-grade ones are practically impossible to find, Boss Rong! Save one for me!

"Lightning-Attracting Tribulation Talismans. For tribulations below the Nascent Soul stage, they attract seventy percent of the lightning; for the Nascent Soul stage and above, forty percent. Ineffective for the Great Ascension stage and above. One thousand high-grade spirit stones per talisman!"

Everyone: As if we'd ever reach the Great Ascension stage. Making it to Nascent Soul would already be amazing! Boss Rong, I'll take one!

Rong Xu beamed as he brought out a plain-colored feather robe. "An ultimate-grade defensive artifact, capable of withstanding a full-power strike from a Soul Integration expert. Starting bid: ten thousand high-grade spirit stones!"

The Great Ascension stage comes right after Soul Integration. With this robe, wouldn't you basically have an extra life?!

Every cultivator present, male and female alike, went wild with desire.

Rong Xu scooped up a handful of spirit stones and watched them slip between his fingers, grinning like a little fox.

Having a powerful backer really does make life easier. Without his status as the chief disciple's cultivation partner, who knows how many ads he'd have to run to get results like these?

More importantly, anyone who wanted to harm him would have to think twice about whether they could bear the wrath of Taixu Sect.

If he died, it would be the sect's reputation on the line!

The only thing troubling Rong Xu was that the chief disciple had been looking at him more and more strangely lately, and getting closer and closer to him.

Rong Xu politely reminded him of their agreement. The other man replied that it was only for cultivation, then moved a little closer.

Rong Xu thought he was imagining things, until the other man kissed him. Calmly moving away, Rong Xu nodded. "Mm-hmm, I understand. It's only for cultivation."

That very night, Rong Xu vanished without a trace.

Ever since He Mian was born, the only thing he had ever learned was cultivation.

He had exceptional talent and cultivated at astonishing speed, but unexpectedly became bound to a young man.

The boy had mediocre aptitude, and the rare treasure known as the century-to-ascension System was like a death sentence for him.

He Mian thought it was simply an equal exchange, never imagining that he would give his heart and receive only abandonment in return.

"A Xu." He Mian tugged at the chains in his hand. A flicker of red glinted faintly in his eyes. "You were the one who wanted a cultivation-partner contract, and you were also the one who dissolved it without permission. Am I really so unbearable that you can't wait to get away from me?"

After his initial shock, Rong Xu smiled and wound his arms around He Mian's neck. "Senior Brother He, would you like me to teach you what else you can do when you imprison someone, besides holding them?"

Seeing He Mian's baffled, bewildered gaze, Rong Xu simply leaned in and kissed him. Mm, he tasted pretty good.
