86: Chapter 86 Meeting

Wang Bin had already waited for a full half an hour in that small cubicle, but Du Xiaoyue was still nowhere to be seen.

He couldn't help but wonder if something had happened? But what could have happened?

Could it be that her aunt didn't agree to this marriage and had already promised her to a Young Master from some big Family, and he would have to perform a melodramatic scene of snatching his wife?

Wang Bin couldn't help but let his mind run wild, thinking that if that were the case, if he beat up the younger generation, the older generation would definitely not let it go, and he would definitely not be their opponent.

At that time, would he have to throw down a line like, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully a poor middle-aged man"?

Then, would he have to flee in disgrace to White Cloud City, leveling up by fighting monsters along the way, constantly triggering various fortuitous encounters, enduring several life-and-death trials, and finally, after much difficulty, Cultivating to Nascent Soul, only to return to seek revenge?

"Sigh, if it's really like that, then forget it. I'm already this old, how can I still foolishly believe in undying love?

If it really doesn't work out, Li Ziqi seems pretty good too, tsk tsk!"

Wang Bin mused to himself, his expression becoming somewhat strange for a moment.

Just as his thoughts were racing, the door to the cubicle was gently pushed open, and Du Xiaoyue and a woman who bore a three-tenths resemblance to her, yet exuded a mature, queenly aura, walked in with light, graceful steps.

"This must be Senior Brother Qingmu, who has been making waves in the Cultivation World recently!

Junior Sister Du Juan, the manager of the first floor of the Four Seas Commerce League's White Cloud City shop, is honored to meet Senior Brother today!"

Du Juan bowed slightly, greeting him politely, every movement exuding elegance and grace.

"Haha, Auntie is joking. You are Little Yue's aunt, so naturally, you will be my aunt from now on.

My name is Qingmu, my real name is Wang Bin, you can call me Qingmu or Wang Bin!"

Wang Bin was not at all polite, shamelessly calling her aunt directly.

He thought to himself, as the saying goes, "A thick skin gets to eat its fill; a thin skin gets nothing," so he couldn't be too timid at this time.

"I'll still call you Senior Brother Qingmu. After all, in the Cultivation World, respect is always based on the level of Cultivation, and it's not particularly related to age or seniority.

Since you are sincere, and Little Yue herself is willing, then I agree to your matter.

However, I still have a small request."

Du Juan truly didn't expect this Qingmu to be so thick-skinned, even more so than the Senior Brothers who used to pursue her. This was their first meeting, and he was already calling her aunt.

However, fortunately, Du Xiaoyue had already told her the whole story, and she did have a pretty good impression of Qingmu's sincerity and overall demeanor.

It's just that there were some matters concerning Du Xiaoyue's personal interests that she felt she still needed to speak up for. No matter what, she had to ensure Little Yue could be married in a proper ceremony.

Although they weren't big figures and couldn't hold a grand wedding, inviting some friends and Family from both sides to witness it was absolutely necessary. At least it would give Little Yue a proper status.

"Auntie, please feel free to state any request you have. As long as it's not too excessive, it's no problem!"

Wang Bin quickly responded, thinking to himself that as long as it wasn't about increasing the bride price, it would be fine. After all, whether in his previous life or this one, he always found the matter of the bride price quite troublesome.

"Alright, I have no objection to Little Yue marrying you as a concubine. In fact, it could be said she's marrying up.

Although we don't insist on a grand, formal wedding, inviting a few friends for a simple celebration and having everyone bear witness is still necessary.

After all, Little Yue can't just leave with you without proper acknowledgment. Although Cultivators generally don't fuss over minor details, basic etiquette is still required, don't you think?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Bin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought it was some huge matter; as long as it wasn't about increasing the bride price, it was fine.

He quickly said with a smile:

"Haha, Auntie, of course I have no objection to that. However, my Wang Family now only has me. I have a few concubines in White Cloud City, but they are only at Qi Refinement Second Layer, and the journey is long, so it's impossible for them to come here.

Therefore, all of this will depend entirely on your arrangements, Auntie. I don't know much about these matters, so I'll listen to whatever you say."

Du Juan's smile grew even brighter. She thought that this Qingmu was indeed just as Little Yue had said: although he was a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, his personality was gentle, and his words made people feel comfortable.

However, before Wang Bin could say a few more words, Du Juan's expression suddenly became serious. She looked at Wang Bin and slowly asked:

"Senior Brother Qingmu, you previously said you could guarantee Little Yue's successful Foundation Establishment. I am curious, what method do you use?

Is it convenient to tell me? There has never been any shortcut in the path of Cultivation. I have lived for over a hundred years and consider myself to be quite well-informed, yet I have never heard of such a method. Could it be some unorthodox or evil Dao method?"

This question stumped Wang Bin.

It seemed Du Xiaoyue had listened to him and hadn't told her aunt about the method of simultaneously Body Refining, refining spiritual power, and Cultivating Divine Sense.

"Hmm, Du Xiaoyue is quite obedient to me. Such an obedient woman makes me like her even more."

Wang Bin thought to himself. He had originally thought that many big Families should know about this triple Cultivation, but he didn't expect Du Juan not to know, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.

However, since they would all be Family from now on, and Du Juan could be a manager in the Four Seas Commerce League's shop, this position would definitely be of great help to him in the future.

Especially if he were to sell Spirit Liquid or similar items later, he would have to rely on her, so his attitude had to be better.

"Little Yue, open the soundproof Restriction in the room. Auntie, let's all sit down first, and I'll explain it to you slowly."

Wang Bin said.

Upon hearing this, Du Juan's curiosity was piqued. She casually activated the soundproof Restriction, then sat down with Wang Bin and Du Xiaoyue.

Wang Bin briefly organized his thoughts, then asked:

"Auntie, you should know about the Qi Refinement Perfection Realm, right?

First, I must state that what I am about to say was told to me by the Chu Family, and you must absolutely not spread it casually.

The so-called Qi Refinement Perfection is not just about Cultivating spiritual power to Qi Refinement Ninth Layer; you also need to Body Refining, and this Body Refining Realm must reach the Peak of First-Order Treasure Body.

Finally, there's the Divine Sense part. Divine Sense must also be Cultivated to the limit of the Qi Refinement Stage, so that the range of Divine Sense probing can reach about a hundred meters.

Once these three conditions are met, and you have a Foundation Establishment Pill prepared as backup, you can basically succeed in Foundation Establishment. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"What? My Revered Master never told me this, and my Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, they didn't Cultivate this way before either!

Moreover, according to the Cultivation method you described, to Cultivate to the Perfection Realm in the Qi Refinement Stage by the age of fifty, I roughly estimated that it would require at least ten times, or even dozens of times, more Cultivation resources than normal.

And this also requires exceptionally high Aptitude and Comprehension Ability, otherwise, how could one Cultivate all three to Perfection in just a few decades?

For so many years, Little Yue has been diligently Cultivating, and working hard to accumulate Spirit Stones. Even I usually take good care of her, and she still needs a few more years to save enough for one chance at Foundation Establishment!"

Du Juan became increasingly agitated as she spoke, almost losing her composure.

The information Wang Bin provided completely contradicted the Cultivation knowledge she had acquired over the past century, and she found it genuinely difficult to accept at first.

But upon closer thought, it seemed to make a lot of sense, yet her heart was still filled with doubts...
