33: Spirit King Realm?

Nangong Ruoxue's small actions naturally couldn't escape Ji Ziyu and the others' notice, causing them to shake their heads slightly.

They truly didn't understand why Nangong Ruoxue was so close to Nangong Yu, feeling extremely puzzled.

But they had already asked Nangong Ruoxue many times without getting an answer, so they simply didn't bother to intervene further.

Ji Ziyu no longer paid attention to her. She picked up a piece of Spirit Beast meat for Shangguan Yuexi and smiled, "Yuexi, eat more. You should also properly nourish yourself."

"Thank you, Imperial Mother!"

Shangguan Yuexi nodded in thanks, her face slightly flushed, perhaps thinking of something.

Just then, Nangong Ruoxue picked up a piece of spirit food and put it into her mouth, her eyes lighting up.

"Mm, Imperial Grandmother, the food here is so delicious! Can Ruo Xue come every day?"

Hearing this, Ji Ziyu's eyes narrowed slightly. "You little girl, I think your true intention isn't the wine, is it?"

Nangong Ruoxue's face flushed as if her thoughts had been exposed. She quickly explained, "How could that be? Ruo Xue is serious! I feel like one bite of spirit food is almost equivalent to a day of Ruo Xue's Cultivation."

But as soon as she said this, Ji Ziyu and the other person's expressions changed slightly. "Ruo Xue, don't eat anymore. Sit aside and refine the spiritual power first!"

At these words, Nangong Ruoxue also realized something was amiss. She quickly stood up, sat cross-legged to Cultivate, and began to refine the spiritual power within her body.

Although the spiritual power in the spirit food was gentle, the spirit food Ji Ziyu used was clearly not something she could easily consume. The amount of spiritual power it contained was quite large and much more violent!

Fortunately, she hadn't eaten much, so refining it wasn't too troublesome!

Seeing that she was fine, Ji Ziyu and the other person breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, this little girl will probably be refining for a while. Let's eat first!"

Ji Ziyu spoke, and Shangguan Yuexi nodded slightly, not being polite.

A long time later, when the two had finished the spirit food on the table, Nangong Ruoxue still hadn't finished her Cultivation. Both of them couldn't help but shake their heads slightly.

"Yuexi, you should also go Cultivate. Just remember to come accompany This Dowager Empress tomorrow morning!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Yuexi nodded slightly. "Yuexi thanks Imperial Mother!"

Shangguan Yuexi didn't decline. The foreign spiritual power in her body was also considerable, and it would indeed be a pity not to take the opportunity to refine it.

Although the Spirit Dispersion Powder in her body was still having some effect, the Spirit Dispersion Powder only made it difficult for spiritual power to condense; it didn't make it disappear, so it didn't hinder her normal Cultivation!

Watching Shangguan Yuexi leave with Nangong Yu in her arms, Ji Ziyu glanced at Nangong Ruoxue and shook her head slightly.

She looked at Cui Zhu and said, "Cui Zhu, you stay here and make sure no one disturbs her!"

"This Servant Girl obeys the decree!" Cui Zhu quickly bowed.

Ji Ziyu didn't bother further, turning and walking into the Cultivation room of her bedchamber... Shangguan Yuexi returned to her bedchamber with Nangong Yu in her arms, placing him, who had fallen asleep again, on the bed.

She looked at the sleeping Nangong Yu and murmured softly, "Didn't they say babies at this age are hard to care for? My Yuer is too easy to care for, isn't he?"

She shook her head slightly, instructed Aunt Shen to keep watch outside, and then walked into the Cultivation room within the bedchamber.

Nangong Yu sensed her departure and slowly opened his eyes, looking towards the corner!

He saw Ying Mei slowly appear and wave a hand to set up a sound-insulating Restriction.

At this moment, she was no longer in a shadow state, but a faint light-shadow.

Under the light, if one didn't look carefully, her presence would be almost undetectable!

Nangong Yu glanced at her, realizing that although he could see through her aura, he didn't know what Realm she was in, only that it was higher than the Spirit Venerable Realm!

"Ying Mei, what Realm are you in now?"

Nangong Yu spoke slowly, his voice extremely tender. If others weren't present, they would surely be dumbfounded!

Infants on the Xuanling Continent, nourished by Spiritual Qi, generally begin to speak simple words at 5-6 months and can articulate clearly by one year old.

But Nangong Yu was only one month old now!

Ying Mei bowed slightly, respectfully saying, "Replying to Master, Ying Mei is currently in the Early Stage Spirit King Realm. I only knew of this Realm when my Cultivation Realm reached it. As for what comes after, this subordinate does not know!"

Nangong Yu nodded slightly. "Spirit King Realm, so after the Spirit Venerable Realm is the Spirit King Realm? I wonder how many Realms there are after that?"

Ying Mei didn't speak; she didn't know either.

Nangong Yu didn't think further. He would know after purchasing the second half of the 'Common Knowledge of Xuanling Continent Cultivators' later.

He had actually called Ying Mei out for other questions.

He looked at Ying Mei and asked, "Last night, when you killed those two assassins, did you acquire their Spiritual Artifacts and storage rings?"

Last night, he was focused on Breaking Through to the Grotto Heaven Realm, so he didn't have time to ask. He only suddenly remembered today.

"This subordinate did take their treasures, but Master didn't ask last night, so this subordinate didn't dare to disturb you!"

Ying Mei respectfully stepped forward, taking out two storage rings and five Spiritual Artifacts!

Previously, when Nangong Yu instructed Tian Kui to collect 50% of the Zhenbei Army's spoils of war, Ying Mei had noted this detail. After killing the two people last night, she collected these spoils from their bodies!

Now it seemed she had indeed done well!

Nangong Yu glanced at them. Besides a dagger and a long sword being High Grade Spiritual Artifacts, the other three were Low Grade Spiritual Artifacts.

The five Spiritual Artifacts were all somewhat Low Grade, and he didn't think much of them, but he still waved his hand and put the five Spiritual Artifacts into the Time-Space Merchant Guild, planning to sell them later for points.

Then, with a gentle wave of his hand, the two storage rings also landed in his grasp.

Nangong Yu looked inside the storage rings and couldn't help but frown slightly. "Are two Spirit Venerable Realm powerhouses really this poor?"

He saw that there were many miscellaneous items in the storage rings, but very few Advanced goods.

As for the Spirit Stones Nangong Yu cared about, the two storage rings combined held less than 100,000, which was truly a disgrace for Spirit Venerable Realm Cultivators.

However, after thinking about it, he didn't find it strange!

After all, they were assassins, doing business on the edge of a knife. If they had resources, they would surely prioritize strengthening themselves, otherwise, they wouldn't know how they might die one day.

Thinking of this, Nangong Yu could understand why they were so poor.

Nangong Yu put away the storage rings, looked at Ying Mei, and nodded, "Well done, you may withdraw for now!"

"Yes!"

Ying Mei nodded, her figure dissipated, and the sound-insulating Restriction was also casually erased by her.

Seeing this, Nangong Yu continued to lie on the bed, his consciousness entering the Time-Space Merchant Guild.

He sat in a chair, took out all the Spirit Stones from the two storage rings, and exchanged them for points.

A total of 98,632 points were obtained!

Seeing this number, Nangong Yu couldn't help but shake his head. It really was less than 100,000!

Afterward, he pondered for a moment but didn't immediately sell the five Spiritual Artifacts.
