85: Chapter 85: Auntie can do this kind of good thing

Du Xiaoyue gazed helplessly at her aunt; today, her aunt had completely lost her usual wisdom and composure.

Her entire being was unusually agitated, constantly interrupting Du Xiaoyue's words.

Alas, perhaps this was the so-called 'deep love, strict discipline.'

However, Du Xiaoyue's heart still felt warm, as she knew her aunt's reaction was entirely out of concern for her.

At this moment, she felt it was better to explain things clearly to her aunt first, lest she worry and fret excessively.

As she thought, the smile on Du Xiaoyue's face gradually faded, her eyes slightly reddened, and she looked directly into Du Juan's eyes with deep affection and gratitude, softly saying:

"Aunt, I know you care deeply for me, and I also guessed that you might have already prepared the Cultivation resources needed for my Foundation Establishment.

However, I am now very clear about my own situation.

Even if I am fully prepared at this moment, the hope of successfully achieving Foundation Establishment is actually quite slim.

Furthermore, I have always lived in Four Seas City, which is certainly very safe, but precisely because I have never experienced danger, my Heart-Nature has weaknesses.

Senior Uncle Qingmu had meticulously analyzed these with me.

I am now over fifty years old; even with abundant Cultivation resources and my own diligent Cultivation, it would probably take another ten years to Cultivate my spiritual power to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, and even then, it would require auxiliary pills like Breakthrough Pill, Meridian Protection Pill, and Foundation Establishment Pill to even attempt Foundation Establishment.

Once I fail, it will be even harder than ascending to the heavens to successfully achieve Foundation Establishment in the future, although my heart truly doesn't want to believe such a result.

But I seem to have already seen a fate like my mother's, dying in depression, awaiting me.

However, Senior Uncle Qingmu has promised me that he will help me successfully achieve Foundation Establishment.

Although he didn't give me a Foundation Establishment Pill, he gave me this; Aunt, please see for yourself."

Du Xiaoyue poured out all her thoughts and worries to her aunt, then took out the twenty drops of Spirit Liquid that Wang Bin had given her and handed them to Du Juan.

Du Juan was deeply moved by Du Xiaoyue's words; she slowly took the jade bottle, casually opened the lid.

In an instant, her eyes were filled with shock and surprise:

"Spirit Liquid!? There are actually twenty drops!

Heavens! This is genuine Spirit Liquid; I have only seen this much Spirit Liquid a few times.

This Spirit Liquid is a good thing!! I myself only managed to save three drops after much effort, intending to keep them for critical moments, especially when encountering a Cultivation Bottleneck; I never expected you to have so much.

Although our shop has a business of acquiring Spirit Liquid at a price of one hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones per drop, in nearly a hundred years of diligent work at the shop, I have never received Spirit Liquid at this price more than ten times.

Moreover, whenever Spirit Liquid is transported to Four Seas City by the headquarters, it never even gets a chance to appear on the shop's shelves before being directly bought by the large Families in the city.

Hehe, now I believe Senior Uncle Qingmu isn't deceiving you; after all, even if you sold your entire self, it wouldn't be worth twenty drops of Spirit Liquid."

"Aunt, you're annoying, hmph! This Fairy is as beautiful as a flower, with skin like snow, and Junior Martial Uncle likes me very much.

These twenty drops of Spirit Liquid are Junior Martial Uncle's betrothal gift to me. He also promised to help me successfully achieve Foundation Establishment, but for the Family's development, he hopes I can bear him at least four children.

Hmph hmph! As long as one of them has a Spiritual Root, he will bestow another eighty drops of Spirit Liquid, Aunt; you absolutely must not tell anyone about this."

Du Xiaoyue couldn't help but feel a hint of pride when she saw her aunt's shocked expression.

"Ah! If I give birth to a child with a Spiritual Root, I can get another eighty drops of Spirit Liquid?

If there really is such a good thing, I, your aunt, can do it too.

Moreover, I, your aunt, am already a Foundation Establishment Cultivator; I would only be of greater help to his Family's development.

Besides, if there are no accidents, he can advance to Golden Core within the next twenty years, and marrying a Golden Core Senior is within my acceptable range."

Du Juan was indeed shocked by this sudden news; although most of the latter words were said in jest, the allure of the matter was indeed considerable.

After all, if she could obtain one hundred drops of Spirit Liquid, with her connections, she could exchange them for at least twenty to thirty thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, and with such abundant resources, it would definitely be enough to support her in taking a full swing at the Golden Core Dao in her lifetime.

Even if she ultimately failed and died in the process, she would have no regrets in this life.

"Hmph hmph! Aunt, stop daydreaming; you're such a money grubber! This time, Junior Martial Uncle still needs to purchase many items, with a transaction amount of fifteen thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, which has already exceeded my authorized scope, which is why I came to you. You must try to get us more discounts! I don't need my commission.

Du Xiaoyue informed Du Juan of the list of items Wang Bin wished to purchase one by one.

"Hehe, you haven't even married him yet, and you're already turning your elbow out. Alright, alright, I understand; take me to meet that Senior Uncle Qingmu. If things work out between you two, we still need to simply host a banquet and invite your colleagues and a few of my close friends to celebrate briefly and serve as witnesses, mainly to announce this to the outside world. This way, it will be considered a proper marriage, and your position in the Family will also be more stable in the future, understand?"

"Mhm, mhm, everything as Aunt says." Du Xiaoyue nodded happily, her mind already beginning to fantasize about the envious expressions of Li Ziqi and others. It wouldn't be long before she became a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. By then, when she returned to the shop to purchase items, she would definitely make those Young Misses personally attend to her. Let Li Ziqi attend to her, hmph hmph! What if she was prettier than her, or had a more outstanding temperament? Haha, this Young Miss would already be a Foundation Establishment Senior by then! Moreover, her husband was a Senior who was about to advance to Golden Core! At this thought, Du Xiaoyue couldn't help but feel excited, even letting out a few involuntary, smug chuckles: "Jie jie jie jie jie!"

"Hey! Xiaoyue, what are you thinking about? Hurry up! Take me to meet my nephew-in-law." Du Juan's call pulled Du Xiaoyue back from her beautiful dream to reality.

"Oh, oh! Coming!" Du Xiaoyue hurriedly jogged to catch up with Du Juan.
