101: Chapter 0101 Shopping Spree

Lin Xiao looked at the woman with a longing expression and reached out to rub his beloved wife's cheek.

"How could I bear to let my wife suffer?"

"Since you have made up your mind, wait a moment..."

Lin Xiao glanced into his inventory at the weapons he had seized from his last battle.

In truth, there were only three pieces left. Fortunately, one of them, General Tumen's 'Black Bear Iron Hammer', was a decent mystic grade item that could be exchanged for 300 prestige.

A mystic grade weapon... sell it!

His original 200 prestige rose to 760.

[Ding! Achievement 'Something Gained, Something Lost' unlocked: Sold an item of mystic grade or higher for the first time. Grade: mystic grade. Prestige +50]

Lin Xiao was already used to this; stingy system, you really know how to do business!

The 'Cold Jade Art' had been locked.

He had been refreshing the store recently, but hadn't found a more suitable cultivation technique for Xiao Qingxuan, so this would be it!

650 prestige, purchased!

[Ding! Obtained 'Cold Jade Art' (Earth Grade): A mysterious martial art of the Daoist sect. Its power rivals Heaven Grade techniques, but it can only be cultivated by women with a pure Yin constitution.]

Following that, a series of notifications rang out:

[Ding! Host has spent over 5000 prestige in the mall, rewarded with one '50% Discount Coupon'!]

[Ding! Achievement 'Buy, Buy, Buy' unlocked, Grade: mystic grade, Prestige +50]

[Ding! The mall is beginning to upgrade. New functions and categories will be added, visible after the next refresh...]

Lin Xiao was overjoyed. Although the prestige given was little, the discount coupon was a good thing!

[50% Discount Coupon: Can be used on any item in the mall.]

Any! He read it clearly, it was any!

In other words, if a Heaven Grade or even an Immortal Grade item appeared in the future, he could buy it at half price!?

Although he couldn't use it for the time being, Lin Xiao was still very satisfied.

As for the mall upgrade and the addition of new categories, Lin Xiao was also looking forward to it.

The last time it upgraded, when he only had 1000 prestige, it added the exchange function.

"It wouldn't just spawn an AK for me, would it? If so, would I actually buy it..."

Lin Xiao handed a thin booklet with a dark blue cover to Xiao Qingxuan.

"Wife, this 'Cold Jade Art' is most suitable for someone with your Mystic Yin Body to cultivate."

Hearing this, Xiao Qingxuan was somewhat surprised: "Husband, how did you know that I have a Mystic Yin Body?"

Lin Xiao smiled and said: "My martial arts cultivation is decent, is it strange to see through your aptitude?"

"So that's how it is..."

Xiao Qingxuan took the technique and said with some worry: "When I was young, a Daoist told me that there are many martial arts that a Mystic Yin Body cannot practice."

"Because the constitution is extremely cold, the techniques that can be practiced are often very extreme methods."

"If one is not careful, one might suffer from Qi deviation... that is why I have never practiced martial arts."

Speaking of this, Xiao Qingxuan was still somewhat worried.

Lin Xiao suddenly understood; no wonder his wife, who had Heaven Grade aptitude, hadn't learned a single martial art.

That Daoist was likely someone like the Western Shu National Preceptor.

"Wife, with me here to protect you, just go ahead and practice."

"We aren't going anywhere today; we will practice here. Only after you have learned it can we take the next step."

As long as Xiao Qingxuan could circulate her Qi once and get started, Lin Xiao could use the Spirit Transfer Pearl to infuse her with sixty years of cultivation!

Xiao Qingxuan didn't think otherwise; since her husband was so confident, she would just trust him.

She opened the technique and began to study it carefully.

Lin Xiao watched from the side and found it somewhat profound. Fortunately, he had mastered several Earth Grade techniques, so he was still able to understand it.

"Wife, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

Xiao Qingxuan blinked: "I feel... this technique is not difficult. Could it be that my understanding is off?"

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, so he casually pointed out a few places and discussed them with her.

Soon, Lin Xiao discovered that Xiao Qingxuan could actually understand it!

This was Heaven Grade aptitude for you; she could comprehend an Earth Grade technique upon reading it for the first time!

Unlike himself, who had risen from mortal grade aptitude all the way up, and for whom Earth Grade was still a distant dream!

Lin Xiao felt fortunate that she was his wife; if she were in the enemy camp, it would truly be a headache.

After Xiao Qingxuan finished reading it once, she pondered for a moment and began to circulate her Qi...

Half an hour later, Lin Xiao discovered that the woman's attributes had changed!

[Xiao Qingxuan, 20 years old, fallen Empress of the Western Shu Kingdom, wife of Lin Xiao, Aptitude: Mystic Yin Body, Heaven Grade]

[Technique: Cold Jade Art (1 year of cultivation), Earth Grade]

Xiao Qingxuan exhaled a long breath of icy air, opened her eyes, and a hint of joy appeared in her pupils.

"Husband, I think I've learned it. I circulated it through my meridians once, and it feels very smooth."

Lin Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Wife, next... I will use a secret technique to infuse you with sixty years of cultivation."

"Calm your mind and steady your breathing. If you feel any discomfort, tell me immediately."

Xiao Qingxuan looked stunned: "Sixty years!? A full cycle!? Husband, are you serious?"

Lin Xiao knew she would be shocked, so he hurriedly explained.

Only after telling her that it was very safe and would not damage his own cultivation did Xiao Qingxuan barely accept it.

Lin Xiao took out the Spirit Transfer Pearl, which had consumed 600 points of cultivation and was now full.

[System: Do you wish to use the Spirit Transfer Pearl on the target 'Xiao Qingxuan'?]

"Confirm!"

A white light, visible only to Lin Xiao, was injected into Xiao Qingxuan's Baihui point.

Around Xiao Qingxuan's body, a large amount of cold air suddenly gathered like a vortex, forming numerous ice crystals!

Lin Xiao clearly felt the temperature in the room plummet!

When the Spirit Transfer Pearl was completely exhausted, it vanished.

Xiao Qingxuan opened her beautiful eyes, and a miraculous scene occurred...

Both of her pupils had actually turned ice blue!?

"Wife, your eyes..."

Xiao Qingxuan was feeling incredulous about the suddenly surging internal energy within her.

Upon being addressed by her husband, she curiously looked at the bronze mirror to the side.

"Ah!"

The woman let out a soft cry: "What is going on?"

Xiao Qingxuan was somewhat anxious. If both of her eyes turned blue, wouldn't she look like a woman of the Hu tribe?

But just as she was worrying, the blue light in her pupils slowly faded and turned black?

"Wife, your heterochromatic eyes... they seem to have disappeared?"

Lin Xiao clicked his tongue; did this Cold Jade Art have this effect as well?

Xiao Qingxuan was also in disbelief. She suddenly thought of something and tried to circulate her Qi...

Her pupils turned blue!

Once she stopped, they returned to black!

"Husband! It turns out that as long as I practice internal energy, the heterochromatic eyes can be restored!"

Xiao Qingxuan stood up, hugged her husband's waist, and wept tears of joy.

"Thank you, husband! I don't have to be treated as a disaster star anymore!"

"Ouch... hiss!"

Lin Xiao felt a sudden swelling pain in his waist.

"Wife... be gentler. You have over sixty years of cultivation now!"

Damn, as expected of a supreme technique 'rivaling Heaven Grade techniques'. Xiao Qingxuan hadn't paid attention, and her grip strength had become astonishingly great!

Xiao Qingxuan was startled and hurriedly let go, her pretty face filled with both apology and a hint of surprise.

"Husband, I am not quite used to it yet. Are you alright?"

Lin Xiao waved his hand: "It's fine, but wife, you lack actual combat experience and really need to adapt as soon as possible."

"How about this, I will take you to find a place where there is no one else and accompany you to practice."
