124: Chapter 124 Poisonous?

In White Cloud City, Wang Bin said to Huang Youcai with a serious expression:

"Youcai, I won't be in White Cloud City for a while, so you must help me keep a close eye on things.

When I'm not around, if anything happens in White Cloud City, you must protect my women and children at home.

Even if you meet with misfortune in the end, I will definitely ensure that the Huang Family becomes a Foundation Establishment Family!"

Huang Youcai did not hesitate in the slightest, immediately patting his chest and assuring him:

"Your subordinate assures the City Lord that as long as I still have a breath, not a single hair on the ladies and Young Master will be harmed!"

"Good! I'll remember your words. Your efforts will surely be rewarded. You may go!"

Wang Bin nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes! Your subordinate takes his leave." Huang Youcai respectfully withdrew.

Wang Bin watched Huang Youcai's departing back, feeling a slight sense of relief.

The matters of White Cloud City were finally arranged properly, and he could feel much more at ease.

However, he still waited until night fell, quietly leaving White Cloud City without alarming anyone.

This way, those who were unaware would still think he was in seclusion Cultivating, which would make White Cloud City even more stable.

Wang Bin looked to the west, the direction where Yin Chengmu's equipment was buried. That invisibility cloak was truly a good item.

He had considered digging it out, but after repeated deliberation, he ultimately gave up on the idea.

After all, he was about to Break through to Golden Core, so there was no need to cause extra trouble at this time.

It would be better to let Du Juan find a Spiritual Artifact with similar functions. Although this might cost several thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, the Yin Family was not to be trifled with.

Wang Bin activated the Flying Cloud Shuttle, and after two days of flight, he finally arrived at West Sea City.

Holding a Formation Flag, he went directly to Du Juan's courtyard in West Sea City.

Ten years had passed, but everything here remained as it was, as if the ten years had left no trace.

Wang Bin sat in the courtyard, waiting for Du Juan to return, pondering the modification of the "Sea Urchin" Lei Sha Pearl in his mind.

It wasn't until dark that Du Juan returned.

"Senior Brother? It's you. I knew you would come. Why didn't Xiaoyue come with you?"

As soon as Du Juan entered the door, she sensed someone in the house. Her heart skipped a beat, and after careful sensing, she confirmed it was Wang Bin.

"I didn't want to come, but I had no choice.

Xiaoyue is guarding the house in the city. I'm not at ease leaving White Cloud City to others. How has your Cultivation been recently?"

Wang Bin asked.

Upon hearing this question, Du Juan's face immediately lit up with joy:

"My Cultivation speed these past few years has been incredibly fast. This is the fastest ten years of my Cultivation since Foundation Establishment.

I spent ten years Breaking through to Late Foundation Establishment Stage, and now I am already at Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer.

My Body Refining has also reached Medium Stage of Second-Order Treasure Body, and my Divine Sense has also increased significantly.

Before, I always Cultivated sparingly, but now all available Cultivation resources are being used, and my Cultivation speed is incredibly fast, and my combat strength has greatly increased. This feeling is simply wonderful.

It's just that the consumption is too great. It consumes three to four thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones every year. My own century's worth of savings ran out in just three years. Fortunately, you had Xiaoyue frequently send Spirit Liquid."

As she spoke, a blush appeared on Du Juan's face, slightly embarrassed.

Over the years, she had secretly inquired about simultaneous cultivation of three aspects and found that Core Disciples within the School were always trained this way, and many Disciples within the Chu Family were also like this.

However, most Family members still primarily Cultivated spiritual power, as the Chu Family had numerous members, and only a select few could be Key Points trained.

She also learned that the Merit Hall had Divine Sense Cultivation Techniques, but her authority was insufficient. She needed to be a Core Disciple or reach the Golden Core Realm to be eligible to exchange for them.

She had also been collecting Divine Sense Cultivation Techniques all these years, but unfortunately, she found nothing. A hundred years ago, one did appear at an auction, and the price went up to over a hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, but it was still an incomplete volume, only able to Cultivate to Foundation Establishment Perfection.

"Aunt, there's no need to be polite. Just Cultivate with peace of mind. There's no need to worry about Cultivation resources.

I will provide for you until Foundation Establishment Perfection, and I will even try my best to help with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects needed to Break through Golden Core.

However, I can only provide Spirit Stones. You also know that these things cannot be bought with just Spirit Stones. They also depend on luck, or you have to find them yourself."

Wang Bin was indifferent to the consumption of four to five thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones a year.

He now had several thousand drops of Spirit Liquid in his hand. Giving some to Du Juan would be enough for her to Cultivate to Foundation Establishment Perfection.

As for the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects that assist in Breaking through Golden Core, he was powerless and could only rely on luck.

"Mm, I'll keep an eye out myself. After all, this is my own business." Du Juan responded.

"The Chu Family invited me to attend Miss Chu Qingluan's Golden Core Grand Ceremony, but I don't know what to give as a gift. What do you think would be suitable?"

Wang Bin asked with a frown.

Upon hearing this question, Du Juan also couldn't make up her mind for a moment.

The Chu Family probably remembered the Azure Flame Bird Wang Bin contributed, so they casually sent Wang Bin an invitation, likely not expecting him to give anything valuable.

But Wang Bin didn't dare to casually perfunctory the matter, otherwise it would be disrespecting the Chu Family.

"Miss Chu has a Fire Single Spiritual Root. Why don't you give her a hundred Fire Attribute Spirit Stones?

She definitely wouldn't use other things, and we can't afford anything too good." Du Juan said after a moment of thought.

Wang Bin considered it and thought it was acceptable, but a hundred Medium Grade Fire Attribute Spirit Stones was indeed too few.

"I plan to give six hundred and sixty-six Medium Grade Fire Spirit Stones. Please help me find a festive box."

"Mm, no problem, I'll go pick one out tomorrow.

It's rare for you to come to West Sea City today. I know you like to drink, so I specially prepared a pot of good wine for you. It's quite famous in West Sea City.

This is a pot of Drunken Clear Wind Spiritual Wine that I got through connections. It's a second-order Spiritual Wine, and I heard it tastes good and helps with comprehending the Dao."

As Du Juan spoke, she took out a dark red wine pot and two wine cups from her Storage Pouch, and finally, she took out a piece of Demon Beast Meat the size of a washbasin, its aroma wafting everywhere.

Wang Bin also didn't stand on ceremony, pouring himself a cup. The wine had a clear, viscous, slightly reddish color, and its aroma was extremely pleasant.

Upon tasting, it had a hint of spiciness, which then turned into a warmth, incredibly fragrant, and also quite rich in Spiritual Qi. "Not bad, strong enough!" Wang Bin praised.

Then, he picked up a piece of Demon Beast Meat and put it into his mouth. The meat was tender but not sticky, with a rich meaty flavor and abundant Spiritual Qi.

Wang Bin already enjoyed good food and wine, and at this moment, he ate with even more gusto. The two ate and chatted, and when they were halfway through, Wang Bin tilted his head and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

Suddenly, he felt a dizzy spell, and a sense of doubt immediately arose in his heart. His gaze went straight to Du Juan!

"Poisoned?"
