Section 17

“I know about this.”

Among the guests, someone friendly with the Xia Family said indignantly, “Ten years ago, Liu Tianxiang wanted to use a Breaking Realm Pill to break through his Realm and become a Martial King. But he was still missing the most important medicinal ingredient. This ingredient was deep in the desolate mountains, guarded by a First-Tier High Grade Spirit Beast.”

“A First-Tier High Grade Spirit Beast? That's equivalent to a Huang Realm Ninth-Layer Martial King among us humans.” Someone exclaimed.

The exotic beasts of the Tian Yuan Continent are divided into Fierce Beasts, Demonic Beasts, Spirit Beasts, Sky Beasts, Holy Beasts, and Divine Beasts, from low to high strength, and each type is further divided into tiers one to nine.

Fierce Beasts are comparable to Martial Warriors, while the strength of Spirit Beasts is between the Martial King and Martial Venerable Realms.

A First-Tier High Grade Spirit Beast is similar to a Huang Realm Ninth-Layer Martial King, and even slightly stronger than a Huang Realm Ninth-Layer Martial King.

“That's right!”

That person continued, “With Liu Tianxiang's strength, wanting to defeat a First-Tier High Grade Spirit Beast was simply wishful thinking. Therefore, he invited City Lord Xia, who was already a Huang Realm Ninth-Layer Martial King at the time, to help. The specific details of that battle are unknown to anyone except the two of them. But after returning from the desolate mountains, City Lord Xia's Dantian was damaged, and his cultivation has been stagnant ever since. Meanwhile, Liu Tianxiang successfully found someone to refine the Breaking Realm Pill and broke through to the Wu King Realm. It was also after that that the two families established the engagement.”

“Judging from the previous conversation between City Lord Xia and Liu Tianxiang, City Lord Xia must have saved Liu Tianxiang from the attack of that First-Tier High Grade Spirit Beast at the time.” Someone recalled the previous conversation between Xia Father and Liu Tianxiang, and it wasn't hard to guess some of the circumstances at the time.

“City Lord Xia saved Liu Tianxiang, which resulted in his own Dantian being damaged. Now, ten years have passed, and his cultivation has regressed instead of advancing, only reaching the Huang Realm Eighth-Layer Wu King Realm.”

“Liu Tianxiang's life was saved by City Lord Xia, and this Wu King Realm cultivation was also something City Lord Xia helped him achieve. Yet, he repaid kindness with enmity, making his daughter publicly break off the engagement at the engagement banquet to humiliate the Xia Family. It's truly despicable.”

The people present discussed animatedly, and their gazes towards Liu Tianxiang were full of malice.

Previously, some people still had a bit of sympathy for the plight of the Liu Family group, but upon hearing this past event and combining it with their actions today, that slight bit of sympathy instantly vanished.

Such ungrateful wretches deserve it.

Liu Tianxiang's face was extremely grim. He agreed to his daughter publicly breaking off the engagement at the engagement banquet, indeed wanting to use this opportunity to suppress the Xia Family and pave the way for the Liu Family to become the City Lord of Xingyu City and take over Xingyu City in the future.

He originally thought this plan was foolproof, but who knew that several Supreme Holy Maidens would suddenly appear? Not only did they ruin his plan, but they also fiercely trampled the dignity and face of everyone in their Liu Family onto the ground.

The woman continued, “My Husband and Uncle Xia are magnanimous and won't bother with you. I, merely a woman, cannot swallow this insult.”

After speaking, she waved her jade hand, and a formless Sword Intent enveloped Liu Shiyu and Liu Tianxiang's couple.

Sword Intent is invisible and intangible, but it can be truly felt.

This area of Sword Intent wasn't strong, not enough to be fatal, but it constantly assaulted their bodies and Souls.

Piercing screams continuously came from the three people's mouths.

Liu Shiyu, who had just experienced the torment of the lightning cage, was once again trapped in the Sword Intent Domain. She looked miserable, but no one felt any sympathy for her.

After doing all this, the woman turned around, and when she looked at Xia Feng, a sweet and gentle smile reappeared on her delicate pretty face.

“Husband!”

She called out sweetly, stretched out her hands, and went to hug Xia Feng again.

“Miss! This isn't good.”

Xia Feng was prepared this time and quickly grabbed the woman's hands, preventing her from hugging him.

“What Miss, call me wife.”

The woman stomped her foot and said coquettishly.

Xia Feng gave two dry laughs and didn't respond.

There were too many 'wives' who came today.

Seeing this, the woman giggled and said, “I seem to have forgotten to introduce myself, Husband, my name is Li Qingxue, the Heavenly Sword Saintess of the Heaven Sword Holy Land.”

Chapter 19: Rebuilding Pill, Can Rebuild Dantian

“As expected, another Supreme Holy Maiden.”

“The Heavenly Fox Holy Land, Extreme Ice Holy Land, Li Huo Holy Land, Purple Thunder Holy Land, plus the Heaven Sword Holy Land, the Northern Frontier Five Great Top-Grade Holy Maidens of the Great Xia Empire, have all come.”

“The Northern Frontier Five Great Top-Grade Holy Maidens competing for a husband, this is too unbelievable, my worldview has collapsed.”

“I strongly suspect that if the Southern Border wasn't too, too far from Xingyu City, the Supreme Holy Maidens from the five great top-grade Holy Lands of the Southern Border would probably also come.”

“Maybe they are already on their way.”

The guests present were extremely shocked and discussed animatedly.

The Great Xia Empire is divided into two regions, North and South, each with five great top-grade Holy Lands.

Xia Feng looked at the incredibly beautiful woman in front of him and said foolishly, “Miss Li, hello, my name is Xia Feng.”

Li Qingxue chuckled, extended her fair white finger, and poked Xia Feng's forehead, saying softly, “You're such a blockhead. You are my Husband, of course I know you. Also, don't call me Miss Li, call me wife.”

“Isn't that inappropriate?”

Xia Feng gave two dry laughs.

He was very sure that if he dared to call this Heavenly Sword Saintess 'wife', the other four Supreme Holy Maidens sitting behind her would definitely lose control on the spot.

“How about I call you Qingxue? Or Xiao Xue?”

He asked tentatively.

These two appellations were also very intimate, but compared to the appellation 'wife', they were much more normal.

“Then call me Xiao Xue.”

Li Qingxue pouted her red lips slightly and chose a relatively more intimate appellation.

“Alright, Xiao Xue, if you have something to say, let's sit down and talk.”

Xia Feng welcomed Li Qingxue to sit at the table with the other Supreme Holy Maidens.

Upon seeing this, some people left the restaurant, but more people stayed.

They wanted to see the subsequent developments, and some people wanted to get acquainted with the Five Supreme Saintesses.

As for Liu Tianxiang's couple and Liu Shiyu, they wanted to leave, but being in Li Qingxue's Sword Intent Domain, they couldn't escape at all.

Xia Father sat beside Xia Mother, and Xia Feng stood beside Xia Father. He looked at the Five Supreme Saintesses and asked, “Holy Maidens, I am very grateful that you have come here to vent your anger for me and the Xia Family and boost our prestige. But please tell me honestly, what is your purpose in coming here?”

Five dignified Supreme Holy Maidens running to this remote, impoverished place to snatch away a mere martial disciple like himself, only a fool would believe that.

They definitely have an ulterior motive. This motive might be beneficial to him and the Xia Family, or it might bring utter disaster to the Xia Family. He must figure it out.

“Husband, I've come to marry you! Will you marry me? I've even brought my dowry.”

Yu Siya quickly said, then with a wave of her hand, a spatial ring hovered above the table.

Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless.

It has always been the man who goes to the woman's family to propose marriage and bring betrothal gifts. This was the first time they had seen a woman bringing her own dowry and proactively coming to ask the man to marry her.

Even if she's throwing herself at him, she doesn't need to be so humble, so much like a lickspittle, right?

You are the Fox Saintess! Can you please pay attention to your image?

Xia Feng looked at the spatial ring, then looked at Yu Siya, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Yu Siya waved her hand again, and the contents of the spatial ring floated in the air out of nowhere.

Three crystal-clear treasures, similar to Spirit Stones. Unlike Spirit Stones, they contained flowing liquid, clearly indicating they were no ordinary items.

There were also three white jade bottles, with fluorescence flowing on their surfaces. Just the bottles themselves were not ordinary, let alone the contents inside.

Yu Siya pointed at the red fruit and said, “Husband, these are three Mid-Grade Spirit Marrows. Find a place with good spiritual energy and bury them underground, and in time, they will independently give birth to three Mid-Grade Spirit Veins.”

“Hiss!”

Everyone gasped in cold air.

“Mid-Grade Spirit Marrow? It can give birth to Mid-Grade Spirit Veins?”

“With this Mid-Grade Spirit Marrow in hand, it's equivalent to having a Mid-Grade Spirit Vein. Won't Mid-Grade Spirit Stones be endless in the future?”

Their gazes became fervent. Even the Fu Niu Sect Leader's eyes lit up.

With the strength of the Funiu Sect, they only occupy five Mid-Grade Spirit Veins.

As soon as the Fox Saintess made her move, it was three Mid-Grade Spirit Marrows. What a grand gesture.

Xia Feng's heart stirred slightly, and his gaze lingered on the three Mid-Grade Spirit Marrows for a moment.

“These three white jade bottles contain three types of pills.”

Yu Siya continued, “One bottle contains ten Supreme-Grade Energy Gathering Pills in total. They can help a martial disciple condense inner energy and become a Martial Warrior, with a high success rate. This is the most useful pill for Husband at the moment.”

Supreme-Grade Energy Gathering Pill?

Xia Feng's eyes flickered, and his heart was moved.

His talent was too low. He had used many Low Grade and Mid-Grade Energy Gathering Pills, but couldn't produce inner energy.

As for High Grade Energy Gathering Pills, Alchemists in the small Xingyu City, or even in the nearby few cities, couldn't refine them, let alone Supreme-Grade Energy Gathering Pills.

The Alchemist who helped Liu Tianxiang refine the Breaking Realm Pill ten years ago should have been able to refine High Grade Energy Gathering Pills. Unfortunately, at that time, no one knew Xia Feng's talent was so poor.

By the time the Xia Family discovered that Xia Feng's talent was insufficient to break through to Martial Warrior, they couldn't find that Alchemist anymore when they tried to look for him again.

“There is also a bottle of Supreme-Grade Breaking Realm Pills, four in total. As long as Husband reaches a Realm Bottleneck, use one, and it will be enough to let Husband break through to the Martial Venerable Realm.”

Yu Siya picked up another white jade bottle and said. She knew that Xia Feng's talent was too low in the early stages, and cultivation was very difficult.

Even when he reached a Bottleneck, it would take a long time to break through.

With these Breaking Realm Pills, after reaching a Bottleneck, he can directly take a Breaking Realm Pill to break through the Realm.
