"You're quite the slippery one," Zhou Tianyu said, his voice a mixture of exasperation and amusement. "Alright, tell me. Why did you call?"

He had a high opinion of Zhang Bin. After all, back in Sanchahe Village, the young man had dared to use a formation to oppose a Nascent Soul Stage Master like him. His performance in the American underground base had also been commendable. Zhang Bin had killed an SSS-Class Genetically Enhanced Human, something a typical Mid-Stage Liquid State Cultivator was incapable of doing. It was a testament not only to his strength but also to his wisdom.

"It's like this. There's a bastard in the entertainment industry named Lv Yuze. He fancies himself a 'godfather' and forces stars into sleeping with him. Many beautiful actresses have been violated by him. So, I busted his balls. However, the guy has some connections and actually pre-ordered a Rebirth Pill from your Kunlun Sect. My point is, we need to blacklist him. No sect capable of refining Rebirth Pills should sell one to him. So, I need your help," Zhang Bin said nonchalantly.

"I couldn't care less about your petty squabbles and messy affairs," Zhou Tianyu said, a strange look on his face. "And Kunlun certainly wouldn't bother blacklisting some small fry like that."

Who did he think he was? He had lived for 980 years, seen and experienced everything. What hadn't he witnessed? He immediately understood the real story. Zhang Bin and this Lv Yuze must have clashed over a woman. How could he possibly meddle in such matters? Zhang Bin really had some nerve, calling him, Zhou Tianyu, to ask for help blacklisting a minor figure.

With that, he was about to hang up.

"Hold on," Zhang Bin said with a mischievous smile. "Senior Zhou, you're accumulating spiritual merit right now, aren't you?"

"Huh... You actually know about spiritual merit?" Zhou Tianyu's voice was filled with surprise, and a strange expression crossed his face.

The reason he had emerged from seclusion to help China seize the Americans' genetic enhancement research was precisely to accumulate spiritual merit, hoping it would help him quickly advance to the Nascent Soul Stage Mid-Term. Hunting down the Genetically Enhanced Humans now was also for the sake of accumulating spiritual merit.

However, understanding the benefits of spiritual merit for one's cultivation was beyond the grasp of disciples from ordinary sects. Accumulating it wasn't easy; its mysteries were profound. It was possible that everything you did was wrong. Instead of accumulating merit, you could reduce it and increase your own sins, making cultivation even more difficult. For Zhang Bin to speak so confidently, it was clear he understood the true essence of spiritual merit.

"Of course, I know. I've comprehended Heaven-Man Resonance," Zhang Bin said in a tempting tone. "Right now, there's a deed of boundless merit that I'm offering to you. How about it? You can thank me later."

"You've actually comprehended Heaven-Man Resonance! Not bad, not bad at all. Your talent is excellent, truly exceptional," Zhou Tianyu said, his face full of anticipation. "Tell me, what is this deed of boundless merit?"

However, Zhao Dawei, Qian Bing, and Sun Tie were completely baffled. They listened in a daze, having no idea what devilry Zhou Tianyu and Zhang Bin were talking about.

Only Master Tianlong showed a look of sudden realization. A fervent light shot from his eyes as he pricked up his ears, because he too wanted a piece of the action.

Accumulating spiritual merit was something cultivators like them were always pursuing. The only problem was that it was sometimes hard to judge whether one's actions would generate merit, or how much merit they would generate. If they knew for certain that an act would result in boundless merit, they would naturally fight to do it. They were Chinese, and protecting China was a meritorious deed, which was something they were already doing. However, one could never have too much merit; the more, the better.

"It's about blacklisting Lv Yuze," Zhang Bin said.

"You bastard, are you messing with me?" Zhou Tianyu was so angry his beard bristled and he glared, but he couldn't bring himself to hang up. He had to know if Zhang Bin had really sensed a deed of boundless merit through Heaven-Man Resonance.

"Let me explain. I discovered this through Heaven-Man Resonance," Zhang Bin began. "Originally, I was aiming for Lv Yuze's thigh, but his bodyguard used Telekinesis to move the bullet. It just so happened to redirect the bullet straight to his little prick, blowing it clean off. Think about it. He's the 'godfather' of the entertainment industry who loves forcing himself on beautiful stars. He's played with and ruined far too many of them. Heaven and earth are furious with him, so Heaven itself has decreed he should become a eunuch. Blacklisting him will save many famous actresses, women whose every smile or frown influences countless fans. The merit from this is immense, enough to be called boundless. So, tell me, do you want this merit or not?"

"Yes! Of course, I want it!" Zhou Tianyu was overjoyed, practically dancing with glee.

Merit that was confirmed by Heaven-Man Resonance was exactly the kind of task they loved. They would never let such an opportunity slip by. For instance, if they, as cultivators, learned that a notorious villain suddenly experienced a string of misfortunes, they would know that killing him would be a meritorious act and would take care of it to earn that merit. Similarly, when Dou E suffered a great injustice that caused snow to fall in June, they would naturally know that righting that wrong was a source of merit and would intervene to claim it. But situations involving Heaven-Man Resonance were ultimately rare, so earning merit was not that easy.

Zhou Tianyu thanked Zhang Bin profusely before quickly hanging up. He immediately began making frantic phone calls. "Blacklist Lv Yuze! Under no circumstances can the Rebirth Pill be sold to him!"

He notified all the major sects capable of refining Rebirth Pills one by one.

Master Tianlong, being an old fox, had also slipped away to the side to hastily make his own calls. He informed a few sects as well, wanting his share of the pie.

Zhao Dawei, Qian Bing, and Sun Tie watched from the sidelines, completely dumbfounded. Their faces were a picture of utter disbelief. Lv Yuze must have had the worst luck of eight lifetimes; his fate as a eunuch was sealed. They couldn't understand what trick Zhang Bin had used to get two highly respected masters to join his scheme to blacklist Lv Yuze and prevent him from buying a Rebirth Pill.

Lv Yuze, you picked a fight with my brother. You must be tired of living. Zhao Dawei chuckled inwardly.

Meanwhile, Lv Yuze soon received a return call from a Kunlun Elder. "Lv Yuze, your pre-order for the Rebirth Pill has been canceled."

With that, the Kunlun Elder hung up without any explanation.

"Canceled?" Lv Yuze was shocked and furious. He seethed with rage but didn't dare offend a Kunlun Elder. Instead of calling back to ask why, he began calling other sects: the Shushan Sect, the Maoshan Sect, the Emei Sect, the Wudang Sect, the Shaolin Sect, and the Huashan Sect.

He was so furious he could have coughed up blood. None of the sects were willing to sell him a Rebirth Pill. And none of them offered any reason.

"Fuck... Has the entire Cultivation World blacklisted me? Zhang Bin, you're ruthless! I won't let this go!"

Infuriated, Lv Yuze smashed his phone on the ground, shattering it into pieces.

"Hahaha..." Zhang Bin, who was monitoring everything through Tutu, saw this and burst into unrestrained laughter.
