129: Chapter 129 Zuo Wentian, Pure Yang Body

Next came the gift-giving segment from the various prominent families.

The gifts presented by those families were mostly Spirit Medicine with hundreds of years of medicinal age, all for the cultivation of Golden Core cultivators.

There were also Medicinal Pills for Golden Core cultivators, which, when consumed, could help Golden Core cultivators Breakthrough their Cultivation Bottleneck or stabilize their Realm.

There were also many third-tier Magic Treasures, which sounded quite powerful just by their names.

However, for those Nascent Soul Soul Transformation Families, these seemingly invaluable gifts in the eyes of outsiders were nothing more than ordinary items.

Just as everyone was focused on the gift-giving process, a Young Master with an extraordinary demeanor appeared like a meteor streaking across the sky.

He was tall and upright, with a dignified presence, dressed in white like snow, gently fanning himself with an exquisite fan, exuding a carefree air.

He completely ignored the Zuo Family elder responsible for receiving gifts in the front courtyard, and relying on his own powerful spiritual energy, he directly stepped into the air, drawing a graceful arc in the sky before steadily landing in the inner courtyard.

Then, he stood tall and proud, speaking in a loud and confident voice:

“Zuo Family of Four Seas City, Zuo Wentian presents a fourth-tier Youth Retaining Pill to little sister Chu Qingluan. The Zuo Family intends to form a marriage alliance with the Chu Family. What does the Chu Family head think of this?”

Zuo Wentian's words were like a heavy bomb dropped into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves in the crowd, and the Cultivators in the inner and outer courtyards were immediately in an uproar.

Du Juan almost couldn't hold back the words in her heart, wanting to blurt them out, but Wang Bin, seeing this, quickly stopped her with his eyes.

After all, in this Cultivation World, there were many instances of trouble coming from loose tongues, and they themselves had no powerful background to rely on. If they spoke carelessly here, it was very likely to cause unnecessary trouble; there was no such thing as freedom of speech here.

Although Wang Bin did not speak, he pricked up his ears and vaguely heard people around him discussing topics like “Pure Yang Body” in low voices, and also mentioning that Zuo Wentian's character was poor and that he had harmed many women.

Upon hearing this, a surge of anger immediately rose in Wang Bin's heart, but this anger only lasted for a moment before dissipating.

The Zuo Family held a pivotal position in Four Seas City, being one of the most powerful Families, with two Soul Transformation Old Ancestors presiding over it.

This Zuo Wentian was clearly a typical villain, and logically, at such a time, he, the protagonist, should step forward to teach him a good lesson, make him lose face, and gain Chu Qingluan's admiration.

But unfortunately, he, the protagonist, did not have the legendary System's blessing, and with his current strength, he was no match for him at all.

He looked at the Dao protector beside Zuo Wentian, and from the powerful aura emanating from him, he could tell that he was at least a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

As soon as he thought of the Pure Yang Body, Wang Bin couldn't help but feel a pang of envy. This Physique, just by hearing about it, he knew that Cultivating it would yield twice the results with half the effort, and the Cultivation speed would definitely be like cheating.

How wonderful it would be if he could possess such a Physique, but unfortunately, this was just a luxury.

“Hmph! Zuo Wentian, don't think I don't know what you're up to. How many women have you harmed!

I, Chu Qingluan, will not agree to this marriage. Just give up on that idea!”

Just then, a clear and firm shout came from the courtyard.

With this shout, the surrounding noisy discussions instantly came to an abrupt halt.

Following that, the conversations inside also gradually became softer, to the point where the people in the outer courtyard could no longer hear what was being said inside.

Although Wang Bin was extremely curious, he did not dare to use his Divine Sense to eavesdrop. After all, on the Chu Family's territory, it was better to be cautious.

In fact, it was obvious that the Chu Family would certainly not agree to this marriage.

Chu Qingluan was the Chu Family's Soul Transformation seed, the future hope of the Chu Family. How could she be easily married off, especially to a Soul Transformation Family like the Zuo Family?

Once the two Families formed a marriage alliance, it was possible that the Chu Family would eventually be annexed by the Zuo Family.

Even if Chu Qingluan intended to marry, it would most likely be a son-in-law, and what did any of this have to do with him?

He was just here to earn a living; it was better not to meddle in other people's business.

If he could be fortunate enough to hear Chu Qingluan share her Golden Core insights and gain some experience from them, that would be even better.

Sure enough, not long after, Chu Tianqing came over with food, bringing them two golden glowing fruits, several exquisite spiritual dishes, and a pot of third-tier spiritual wine.

Wang Bin looked at these delicacies, his heart full of curiosity. He didn't even know what kind of spiritual wine this was, but just by smelling the rich aroma of the wine, he felt refreshed.

“Uncle Qingmu, Sister Du Juan, these two golden fruits are called Golden Firm Fruits, and they are third-tier spiritual fruits!

Although they are not extremely precious, consuming them can enhance a Cultivator's Physical Body strength. These are unique spiritual fruits of our Chu Family.

The other items are relatively ordinary, but they are also cooked with third-tier Yao Beast Meat and Spirit Medicine. I usually only get to eat them once or twice a year.”

Chu Tianqing said with a smile.

Hearing Chu Tianqing's introduction, Wang Bin couldn't help but be a little speechless.

This was still considered ordinary? He had never seen such precious spiritual fruits before. Being fortunate enough to attend this celebration today was truly an eye-opener.

He roughly estimated that there were several hundred people in the outer courtyard alone, and one Golden Firm Fruit per person meant hundreds of them!

He thought about how he had been smug about being able to produce Spirit Liquid before, thinking he was quite wealthy, but now compared to the Chu Family, he was simply insignificant.

It seemed that developing slowly like this wouldn't work; he had to find a shortcut.

Wang Bin ate his food, his mind racing with countless wild thoughts constantly emerging.

He thought, why not go back and build a hundred compressors, and then set up a second-tier Gathering Spirit Formation himself.

A second-tier Gathering Spirit Formation set up with eighteen Medium Grade Spirit Stones could last for two days.

Within these two days, two drops of Spirit Liquid could be produced using the compressor. Calculating this, the cost of each drop of Spirit Liquid would only be nine Medium Grade Spirit Stones.

And if the Spirit Liquid was sold wholesale, each drop could be sold for one hundred Medium Grade Spirit Stones.

If he could produce one hundred drops of Spirit Liquid a day, then in ten days it would be one thousand drops, and in a year it would be thirty-six thousand five hundred drops.

Calculated at a selling price of one hundred Medium Grade Spirit Stones per drop of Spirit Liquid, he could earn three million six hundred fifty thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones in a year. Even after deducting some costs, he could still earn several million Medium Grade Spirit Stones in a year.

What if he built a thousand compressors?

Wang Bin just thinking about it felt that this income was immeasurable; he couldn't even calculate exactly how many Spirit Stones he could earn.

“Senior Brother? Senior Brother?”

Du Juan looked at Wang Bin sitting there motionless with a wine glass, a silly smile on his face, even laughing out loud, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

The surrounding Cultivators were all sharp-eared and keen-eyed. Seeing Wang Bin like this, many people secretly laughed. Du Juan suddenly felt somewhat mortified. She no longer cared about the agreement she had made with Wang Bin before going out to keep a distance.

She called Wang Bin several times but received no response, and she couldn't help but wonder if Senior Brother had suffered Qi Deviation?

So, she quietly extended her small hand towards Wang Bin's waist and gave it a hard pinch.

“Ouch!”

Wang Bin was stimulated by the sudden pain and sprang up from his seat.

“Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha!”

The Cultivators near Wang Bin and Du Juan, seeing this scene, could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.

Although everyone was several decades or even a hundred years old and usually controlled their emotions well, generally not laughing, at this moment, they really couldn't help it.

Du Juan's face was flushed with shame, and she could only bury her head and drink, while not forgetting to use sound transmission to tell Wang Bin what had just happened.

Upon hearing this, Wang Bin's old face immediately turned red. He quickly stood up and cupped his hands to the people around him as an apology, then slowly sat down, lowering his head as well.

“Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha!”

The people around him burst into another round of laughter upon seeing Wang Bin like this.

Although Wang Bin outwardly laughed along with everyone, he was very vigilant inside.

He knew there must be a problem. He had already reached Foundation Establishment Completion, so how could he just sit there in a daze after eating something, completely unaware of everything around him?

He secretly mused, if Du Juan had harbored hostility towards him just now, wouldn't he have died here inexplicably?

If such a daze occurred during a fight with someone else, then it would be big trouble.

Could the food he ate be poisoned? But that was unlikely; how could the Chu Family do such a thing on such an important day?

Wang Bin was full of doubts and couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. Looking at the food on the table, he didn't dare to eat anymore and just sat there lost in thought.

“Senior Brother? Are you alright!”

Du Juan's concerned voice came from beside him, and Wang Bin's heart warmed slightly. It felt good to be cared for.

“I'm fine, sigh! I just witnessed the Chu Family's immense wealth again, and my heart felt a bit unbalanced!” Wang Bin said casually, making an excuse.

“It's good that you're fine. If you can't finish the food on the table, you can pack it up and put it in your Storage Pouch to take back and eat slowly!” Du Juan said.

Wang Bin sighed inwardly and said:

“You take it all! You take that Golden Firm Fruit too. Your Physical Body and Divine Sense are still a bit lacking. It would be a waste for me to eat it!”

Wang Bin had no desire to continue eating at this moment. His mind was completely occupied with why he had suddenly been in a daze for so long. For a Cultivator, this was definitely a problem that could not be ignored.
