44: Qi training level nine, Wanbao Pavilion

“Twenty Low-Grade Spirit Stones a month?

Pregnant, plus thirty more, and two drops of millennial stone milk?”

Xie Yuming’s eyes widened, and for a moment, she forgot her previous mood.

She stared blankly at Xiao Qingyuan, who had long since shed his disguise.

She couldn't help but wonder, even if she returned to the Immortal clan and truly gained the status of a direct descendant,

would she really be able to find such a good marriage in the future?

She would probably still be given to that old man as a concubine, right?

Even if she could also marry an Immortal?

Thinking of this, she instantly understood.

Looking at Xiao Qingyuan again—young, handsome… if what he said was true,

this person’s wealth was beyond abundant.

“Is what you said true, Master?”

Xiao Qingyuan smiled without speaking, merely pointing with a strand of hair to below, then to the collar of her clothes.

“That, of course, depends on your performance…”

The next second, she instantly understood.

Then she leaned over directly, her clothes falling open.

Before long, a captivating song, loud and undulating, resounded in the room.

Xiao Qingyuan’s expression changed involuntarily, and he comfortably closed his eyes; as expected of a naturally charming Physique, it was the ultimate enjoyment.

Time flew by, until three days had passed.

This time, Xie Yuming became pregnant with a seed in just three days—another True Spiritual Root with full potential.

The next second, Xiao Qingyuan’s Spiritual Root once again became thick and powerful, advancing significantly on the True Spiritual Root path.

A roar echoed in his mind, and his Realm actually broke through again.

He reached the Minor Perfection of the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage in one fell swoop.

Xiao Qingyuan stroked her smooth back, calculating the time; it was exactly the day before the auction was set to begin.

So he happily kissed Xie Yuming’s flushed cheek.

Now he had even more confidence.

“Master…”

Xie Yuming softly called out, her face flushed, then immediately forced herself to offer her fragrant lips.

She truly believed now that this person in front of her genuinely didn’t care about the Opportunity hidden within her.

Xiao Qingyuan smiled reassuringly.

He was intimate with her for a while.

This naturally charming Physique held great significance for him.

Although not a Spiritual Physique, it was still a special Physique capable of Cultivating the Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Demon.

Moreover, it was a crucial Bloodline type, allowing one to absorb Yao Beast essence blood to begin Cultivating.

If he could find Dragon blood and Phoenix blood for his offspring to absorb Spiritual Qi in the future,

wouldn't that directly take off?

It was a pity that this child had a Spiritual Root.

Xiao Qingyuan was momentarily disappointed instead.

After all, the potential of the Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Demon was far greater than that of a True Spiritual Root.

“Alright.” Xiao Qingyuan quickly stopped Xie Yuming’s increasingly bold actions; since she was pregnant, she couldn’t be so casual.

“I have something to do tomorrow. Once it’s done, I’ll take you back to the Immortal clan.

If it’s quick, I’ll be back in half a day.”

With that, Xiao Qingyuan not only took out a bag of Spirit Stones but also passed on the preliminary Cultivation Technique for the Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Demon to her.

He then instructed, “Here are someBigu Pill (Bìgǔdān) and fifty Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Cultivate well at home and absolutely do not go out.”

“And I have a premonition that these three days of passion will most likely make you pregnant. As your husband, I’m giving you the Spirit Stones in advance.”

Xie Yuming’s face immediately showed surprise upon hearing this.

There were actually so many Spirit Stones, and this Cultivation Technique, though just a martial artist’s Cultivation Technique,

could actually be Cultivated to the Immortal Realm.

One must know that even in the Xie Family, the status of a Qi Refining Stage - Mid Phase Cultivator surpassed that of most ordinary clan members.

How could this not make her feel surprised?

This time, she finally hadn't trusted the wrong person.

Immediately, she embraced Xiao Qingyuan’s neck tightly, moved, “Master is so good to your servant! Master, please go attend to your matters; Yuming will take good care of herself.”

With that, her face flushed.

She kissed Xiao Qingyuan deeply on the corner of his mouth, then directly burrowed under the covers.

Before long, Xiao Qingyuan’s expression changed.

“Hiss…”

This Xie Yuming truly lived up to her naturally charming Physique; what an exquisite mature woman.

She instantly understood everything, self-taught… The next morning, Xiao Qingyuan woke up from bed feeling refreshed.

In a blink of an eye, he once again disguised himself as an elderly, middle-aged Cultivator.

With a tap of his toe,

he transformed into an afterimage and headed to the city’s market.

According to his grandfather, the largest, tallest, and most magnificent building in the city belonged to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

Xiao Qingyuan’s eyes lit up.

In front of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, there were many greeters.

They had been waiting early on the street, lining up all the way to the market entrance.

Xiao Qingyuan secretly sighed, as expected of the most mysterious Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion; even the welcoming servants were Qi Refining Stage Cultivators.

As he walked, Xiao Qingyuan’s gaze fell upon the street stalls.

He caught sight of several Talisman vendors out of the corner of his eye.

However, he didn't find the mark agreed upon with his grandfather; he hadn't found the person.

Shaking his head, Xiao Qingyuan wasn't discouraged.

He discreetly followed the crowd towards the building in the center of the market… As the year-end approached, the Jiujiang Prefecture saw an endless stream of Cultivators.

However, those who could participate in the auction were not ordinary Cultivators.

They needed at least Qi Refining Stage - Mid Phase cultivation and had to undergo a financial verification.

Entry alone required a thousand Spirit Stones, with adjustments for more or less.

Many Cultivators chose to sell off their Materials, like him, before attending the auction.

Looking at the noisy scene in the first-floor hall before him,

he didn’t want to publicly pull out four thousand genuine Talismans.

He immediately beckoned a servant, and in a hoarse voice, whispered, “Call your manager out. I have a large transaction worth over ten thousand Spirit Stones to entrust to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.”

The servant, who had been stopped, paused upon hearing this.

He spoke again, incredulously, “Did the guest say over ten thousand Spirit Stones?”

“I’ll call the shopkeeper for you right away.”

“Only more, not less!” Xiao Qingyuan nodded, directly releasing a fleeting, vague pressure of the Qi Refining Stage - Late Phase: “Just go call someone.”

The servant’s heart tightened, and he immediately dared not be negligent.

His attitude was noticeably more respectful; he bowed and led the way, saying, “Senior is joking. How could we let Senior wait here for long? I can take you directly to the third floor now.”

Xiao Qingyuan was momentarily stunned but calmly nodded.

Then he threw out a genuine Talisman.

“If that’s the case, then take me there.”

The welcoming servant was even more overjoyed at the sight.

He immediately led him up the stairs without another word.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

According to his grandfather, its background was within the Immortal sect, and behind it stood at least a Golden Core True Person.

Its business spanned across various kingdoms.

In the Wei Kingdom, it could naturally operate without hindrance.

On the escalator, Xiao Qingyuan silently observed his surroundings.

The first floor’s layout resembled a small commodity market on Blue Star, vast in area.

Upon reaching the second floor, what met the eye were elegant, independent private rooms.

It was like a cluster of interconnected restaurants and clubs.

Especially with many areas selling magical robes displayed behind them.

Many Cultivators came and went.

At a glance, it wasn’t much different from mortal clothing stores.

It was like strolling through a shopping mall.

Xiao Qingyuan couldn’t help but marvel inwardly.

It wasn’t until he reached the third floor that Xiao Qingyuan finally came back to his senses.

The so-called third floor, wasn't it the auction house that was about to open?

Thinking this, the servant respectfully cupped his hands, then quickly went back up the escalator, rushing towards a backroom.

“Boss, there’s a Senior who says he has a business deal worth over ten thousand Spirit Stones. Please come and see!”
