Three Sins Against Heaven-Chapter 57 – Furnace Courtyard

Ghost Guest shook his head and walked faster, transmitting his voice, "You knew and didn't warn me? What's up with this Senior Sister Han?"

Elijah shrugged helplessly, "I couldn't help it. She's the steward, and her reasons were legitimate. I couldn't refuse. This Senior Sister Han likes younger virgins. Your self-control is impressive, being able to resist her. Not touching her is a good thing; it saves a lot of trouble. That woman is too complicated. There are rumors in the Medicine Gate that she has relations with many cultivators. I had no choice but to set you up this time. I'll take you to a good place to make it up to you."

Five miles north, Elijah led Ghost Guest to a low courtyard and stopped. "Here we are."

This novel is available on ".

Outside the courtyard, a red lantern hung high, and a plaque read "Furnace." An old woman with a face full of wrinkles lay on a wicker chair, eyes closed as if asleep.

Elijah quickly stepped forward, placed fifty Spirit Stones on the table beside the old woman, and respectfully cupped his fists in salute, "One hour."

The old woman remained motionless, but the Spirit Stones disappeared into thin air, and the courtyard gate opened by itself.

"I've paid for you. The experience here is unparalleled. Enjoy yourself." Elijah pushed the bewildered Ghost Guest inside, and the gate closed immediately, a light barrier rising to isolate the outside sounds.

Ghost Guest cautiously surveyed his surroundings. Apart from the small room in front of him, the courtyard was empty. He pushed open the door and was stunned by what he saw.

A woman with skin as smooth as jade lay on the bed in an indecent, inviting posture, motionless.

Ghost Guest turned to leave, but when his peripheral vision caught the woman's face, he couldn't move his feet.

The woman's features were exquisite, her eyebrows delicate, exuding a gentle aura. She was breathtakingly beautiful, but her eyes were hollow and lifeless, giving the impression of a puppet.

Ghost Guest's heart raced faster, the aphrodisiac he had inhaled earlier flaring up again, desire rising rapidly.

If he still didn't understand what this place was, he would truly be a fool.

Just as mortals had brothels, so did cultivators.

Ghost Guest's gaze couldn't help but wander over the woman's naked body. Suddenly, he slapped himself hard and pulled the quilt over her.

He sat by the bed, staring blankly at the woman, feeling a growing sadness.

From the woman's beautiful face, he saw a resemblance to his mother. He missed home, missed his mother.

The woman slowly turned her head, her hollow eyes looking at Ghost Guest without any emotion.

Their eyes met, but there were no sparks, only loneliness.

An hour later, the light barrier above began to ripple.

Ghost Guest knew the time was up. He reluctantly glanced at the woman, got up to leave, but stopped at the door. He turned back to the woman, seeing her looking at him, he became nervous, "I... I'm Dylan Chen. I'll... I'll come back to see you."

The woman turned her head away, her eyes still empty, as if she had lost her soul.

Outside the courtyard, a cultivator with a lecherous look had been waiting eagerly. Seeing Ghost Guest come out, he rushed inside immediately.

Ghost Guest watched as the light barrier rose again, enveloping the courtyard. Thinking of the beautiful woman with lifeless eyes, he couldn't help but feel angry, clenching his fists tightly as he left.

It was late at night, and Ghost Guest walked slowly, occasionally gritting his teeth. The anger in his heart not only didn't fade with time but grew stronger.

He didn't know why he was so angry, only that he felt a deep pity for the woman who resembled his mother.

It wasn't until he returned to his room in the courtyard that he managed to suppress his anger. He took out a jade slip and placed it on his forehead, a calm voice immediately echoing in his mind.

This was the pill recipe for the Acupoint Breakthrough Pill he had bought at the Fragrance Beauty Tower. It was very detailed, including the order of ingredient addition and the specific steps for pill refining.

Though expensive, it was better than him experimenting with ingredients based on a simple recipe. What he lacked most now was time.

The thousand Spirit Stones Amanda had advanced him had all been exchanged for ingredients and pill recipes.

After breaking through to the second level of Qi Refinement, relying solely on Rejuvenation Pills to earn Spirit Stones could no longer support his daily cultivation. He needed to refine more valuable pills.

The next day, while Ghost Guest was refining the Acupoint Breakthrough Pill, Laura Jiang's knock suddenly sounded.

"Young Master, someone is looking for you. He's dressed in white and looks very refined."

Hearing this, Ghost Guest immediately extinguished the furnace fire and rushed out, not caring that the Acupoint Breakthrough Pill inside the furnace was almost formed.

From Laura's description, he could only think of his senior brother.

Except for the first time he brought him here, his senior brother had never visited him. What could have happened to make his senior brother come looking for him?

Ghost Guest rushed out of the courtyard as quickly as possible. Seeing Kenneth Yi, he immediately cupped his fists in salute.

"Senior Brother, why are you here?"

"Master wants to see you." Kenneth Yi didn't say much, grabbing Ghost Guest and soaring into the sky.

Ghost Guest's heart sank. His master, Adam Dao, had once told him that the person who took that white fragment would come looking for him sooner or later.

He had been preparing for this, but he hadn't expected it to come so soon.

The thought of facing Aaron Ouyang made him extremely nervous.
