439: Chapter 439 Lu Youlin visits again

Inside were more than ten portions of Divine Body treasures, among which five were First-Grade Divine Body treasures.

"What is this?"

"You'll know once you open it."

Qian Yi opened it and took a casual glance, her pupils slightly constricting. "This is... Divine Body treasures?"

"Mm."

"So many?"

Xiao Weiqing smiled and said, "I got them from the Azure Dragon Divine Hall. There are plenty more inside, so just take these for now."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Qian Yi accepted them gladly. If Xiao Weiqing didn't have many himself, she wouldn't have accepted them, just like last time.

However, since Xiao Weiqing said there were still many left, she wouldn't refuse his kindness.

Qian Yi now had sufficient resources to Cultivate, and her improvement in strength was incomparable to the past; she would soon be able to use the Divine Body treasures.

She also wanted to reach the Eighth Realm as soon as possible so she could help Xiao Weiqing instead of just being a vase.

Having once possessed Level 5 Extraordinary Talent, her Second Awakening had raised her talent to Level 7, surpassing ninety-nine percent of people. She was a top-tier Genius, so naturally, she wouldn't just lie flat.

"Why stand on ceremony with me?"

"Hold on tight."

Xiao Weiqing let go.

Qian Yi's hand sank, and she nearly couldn't hold onto it, exclaiming, "So heavy?"

"There are a few stones in there that are quite heavy."

"Sister Yi, Cultivate well. I'm heading back."

Qian Yi looked at Xiao Weiqing. "Aren't you staying tonight? You gave me so many Divine Body treasures, and I haven't properly thanked you yet."

After speaking, Qian Yi licked her red lips, her gaze alluring and full of temptation.

It made Xiao Weiqing feel a surge of excitement.

However, he quickly suppressed his restless heart and reached out to pinch Qian Yi's delicate nose. "You little vixen!"

"I'm heading back."

It would be a lie to say he didn't want to stay, but Xiao Weiqing knew he couldn't indulge in a bed of softness.

Returning to the Villa, Xiao Weiqing set his Wristband to Do Not Disturb mode.

Taking a pile of Divine Body treasures, he dove into the basement. He decided that until he reached Perfection with his Divine Body, he would not pay attention to outside matters.

...

Time passes without notice during Cultivation. Half a month flashed by in an instant.

This day, Xiao Weiqing walked out of the Villa. It wasn't voluntary, but rather because someone was looking for him.

"Minister Lu?"

At this moment, Minister Lu Youlin, with drooping eyelids, stood at the courtyard gate, staring at Xiao Weiqing with resentment in his eyes.

"Minister Lu, please come in."

Minister Lu Youlin, holding a box, walked into the courtyard.

"How do you have time to come here today?"

"You brat, you have the nerve to ask me? Did you forget something?"

"Forget something?"

Xiao Weiqing frowned and thought, not feeling that he had forgotten anything.

He looked at Minister Lu Youlin in confusion, then suddenly realized.

"Apologies, my sincere apologies, Minister Lu."

Xiao Weiqing remembered. He had promised Minister Lu Youlin that he would find time to go to the Jingdu Prefecture and visit the Great Xia Treasure Pavilion, but he had been so focused on Cultivating that he had forgotten all about it.

"Hmph~"

"You brat, do you know that several old fogeys said I angered you, and that not entering the Treasure Pavilion was a silent protest?"

"There were even people who wanted to impeach me."

The more Minister Lu Youlin thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, looking exactly like a bullied young wife.

Xiao Weiqing was between laughter and tears. "Minister Lu, what are you talking about?"

"You could have just contacted me directly..."

Xiao Weiqing's voice faltered. He seemed to have set his Wristband to Do Not Disturb mode, blocking the vast majority of people.

"You have the nerve to say that? I've called you more than ten times a day, sent countless messages, and I haven't seen you return a single one."

"Those old fogeys all said you blocked me, and that this is hard evidence that I offended you."

"Here, those old fogeys made me bring two things to apologize to you in person."

Minister Lu Youlin put down the box in his hand.

"Apologize? Isn't that a bit much, Minister Lu?"

Xiao Weiqing was shocked by the official's move.

"A bit much?"

"Do you not have a clear understanding of your own strength and status?"

Xiao Weiqing smiled and said, "It shouldn't matter, right?"

"It matters a great deal."

"Given what you control now, as well as your own strength, we must consider your thoughts whenever we make any decisions."

Minister Lu Youlin's words were not false. Ever since learning of Xiao Weiqing's strength from Dongfang Baichen, as well as the fact that he possessed a Puppet at the Star Lord Realm, they could no longer ignore Xiao Weiqing.

Seeing that Minister Lu's expression didn't seem faked, Xiao Weiqing helplessly said, "Minister Lu, my sincere apologies. I've been Cultivating for these past two weeks and haven't checked my Wristband." He truly hadn't expected such a big misunderstanding.

"Fine, I accept your apology."

"Open it and take a look. If you feel it's not suitable, just tell me."

"What's inside this?" Xiao Weiqing asked, taking one of the boxes.

Minister Lu Youlin said, "It should be an Innate Skill."

"An Innate Skill?"

Xiao Weiqing was somewhat surprised.

"It might exceed Level 9," Minister Lu Youlin added.

"Exceed Level 9?" Xiao Weiqing raised an eyebrow.

"Mm, I don't know the specifics. We've had this for some years. Many people have tried to figure out what it is, but all methods failed. We only know that this thing reacts to Mental Energy, so we guess it's an Innate Skill."

"And one of a very high Rank."

Xiao Weiqing was thoughtful, secretly guessing in his heart, "Could this be Starry Sky Martial Arts?"

He opened the box. A palm-sized token came into view, smooth and pitch-black all over. At a glance, it felt as if one's entire line of sight was being sucked in.

"Huh, interesting."

Xiao Weiqing picked up the black token and examined it carefully.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the surface of the black token wasn't smooth, but had many tiny patterns. The patterns were chaotic and disorganized, and he couldn't see any pattern to them for the moment.

He allowed his Mental Energy to overflow and envelop the black token.

"Hm?"

The moment his Mental Energy made contact, Xiao Weiqing discovered that the black token was like a sponge, absorbing all of his Mental Energy. Xiao Weiqing's Mental Energy was like a stone sinking into the ocean.

Vaguely, a flash of light passed through Xiao Weiqing's mind. He couldn't see it clearly, but this feeling was very similar to when he first learned the Wanxiang Saber Technique.

He didn't continue to investigate. Xiao Weiqing put away the black token and had a plan in mind; there was a high probability that it contained a Starry Sky Martial Arts technique that required a Divine Soul to investigate.

However, now was clearly not the time.

"Minister Lu, I'll keep this token for now."

"That's fine, it was meant for you anyway."

Minister Lu Youlin nodded slightly. He could tell that Xiao Weiqing seemed to know something, but he didn't ask further. Since it was given to Xiao Weiqing, it had nothing to do with him anymore.

"Take a look at this one too?"
