30: Master of Changsheng Gong

"Is there this much?"

"Sorry to trouble you, Fellow Daoist Luo..."

Zhang Qingxiao picked up the Storage Pouch very naturally to check it; the items inside were quite numerous.

Various Magical Artifacts, Medicinal Pills, and Talismans were neatly arranged inside the Storage Pouch.

"You are too polite, Fellow cultivator Zhang."

"These are all items that you deserve, Fellow cultivator Zhang."

"This time, being able to successfully obtain the territory controlled by Han Xianren is all thanks to you, Fellow cultivator Zhang, for taking action to kill Han Xianren and his several powerful subordinates."

Luo Fei complimented him very politely.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, I cannot use these Magical Artifacts, Talismans, and Medicinal Pills myself..."

"I wonder if you have any need for these, Fellow Daoist Luo?"

"If the price is right, I will sell all these things to you, Fellow Daoist Luo."

Zhang Qingxiao looked at the Magical Artifacts, Medicinal Pills, and Talismans in the Storage Pouch and felt a bit worried.

The Talismans and Medicinal Pills were easy enough to talk about; they could be sold easily, but the Magical Artifacts were a different story.

The Magical Artifacts he had obtained previously still hadn't all been sold even now.

Now with over twenty more, he estimated it might take a year or more to sell them off.

"Fellow cultivator Zhang, are you really going to sell all these Magical Artifacts, Medicinal Pills, and Talismans to me?"

Luo Fei's eyes lit up as he asked, a bit uncertain.

He needed to recruit more subordinates, and he was currently extremely lacking in Magical Artifacts, Medicinal Pills, and Talismans.

Buying from a Magical Artifact shop was too expensive, and while there were people selling Magical Artifacts in the market, the prices weren't much lower than the shops, so it was never cost-effective.

"Yes, I will sell all the Magical Artifacts, Medicinal Pills, and Talismans in this Storage Pouch to you."

"How about you give me sixty-five Medium Grade Spirit Stones?"

Zhang Qingxiao roughly calculated the price of the items in the Storage Pouch.

If he took them to the market to sell himself, he could sell them for about sixty-seven or sixty-eight Medium Grade Spirit Stones.

It would waste a lot of time.

With that time, he could go out and hunt several Yao Beasts to earn even more Spirit Stones.

"Deal!"

"Fellow cultivator Zhang, if you have any other Magical Artifacts, Medicinal Pills, and Talismans, I want them all."

Luo Fei was very clear about the value of the items in the Storage Pouch.

According to the price Zhang Qingxiao stated, he could save at least five Medium Grade Spirit Stones.

"Alright, I have six more Medium Grade Magical Artifacts here, one Medium Grade Spirit Stone each."

"As for Medicinal Pills, I have fifty Yellow Dragon Pills and thirty Pi Gu Pills; I will sell them all to you at the current market price."

Zhang Qingxiao was just worrying about how to sell the Magical Artifacts when Luo Fei proactively offered; it was exactly like someone bringing a pillow when he was sleepy.

"No problem, we will go by the price you stated, Fellow cultivator Zhang."

"However, I didn't bring that many Spirit Stones with me this time; please give me some time to go back and gather the Spirit Stones, Fellow cultivator Zhang."

Luo Fei had earned quite a few Spirit Stones over the past few months from collecting rent and Sect missions, but he couldn't produce that many all at once.

"No worries!"

"You can take the Magical Artifacts and Medicinal Pills first; just bring the Spirit Stones whenever you have them."

Zhang Qingxiao wasn't afraid of Luo Fei defaulting on the debt; yesterday's intimidation was enough.

From Luo Fei's behavior, one could tell how much he feared him.

If this transaction could proceed smoothly, he could choose to cooperate with Luo Fei long-term in the future.

Whether it was selling Yao Beast meat, selling Medicinal Pills, or other things, he could just go directly to Luo Fei.

After sending Luo Fei away, Zhang Qingxiao handed Han Xianren's Storage Pouch directly to Zhou Yun.

"Brother Fellow cultivator Zhang, are... are you giving this Storage Pouch to me?"

Zhou Yun's breathing quickened, and she looked at Zhang Qingxiao in disbelief.

"Yes, you have been busy working here for me during this time, and I haven't given you any good things."

"I'll give this Storage Pouch to you; it will be more convenient for storing things."

"If you really want to stay with me..."

"Then stay by my side from now on."

Zhang Qingxiao was not a heartless person. Over the past six months or so, Zhou Yun had come over every day to cook for him and handle the housework.

She worked without complaint and had no other demands, which made him long ago accustomed to having Zhou Yun by his side.

Now that life was becoming stable in all aspects, and he was becoming increasingly wealthy, he didn't need to worry about life like he did at the beginning.

"Brother Fellow cultivator Zhang... are... are you really willing to accept me?"

Zhou Yun only felt a buzzing in her head, and she was somewhat dazed.

"Actually, I had already accepted you long ago; I just never had the right opportunity to tell you."

As Zhang Qingxiao said this, he pulled Zhou Yun over and embraced her.

At noon, Zhou Yun prepared a whole table of dishes, called Zhou Quan over, and the family happily had a meal together; the matter was thus settled.

They were all the most ordinary Utility Disciples, and there wasn't that much fuss.

That night, Zhou Yun stayed in Zhang Qingxiao's room, and the two completed the business between husband and wife.

Zhou Yun, experiencing such matters for the first time, was no match for Zhang Qingxiao.

The next day, Zhang Qingxiao was refreshed and went about his usual Alchemy, Body Refining, and Cultivation.

Zhou Yun did not get out of bed until noon, her legs trembling.

When eating, she was even teased by Liang Qiaoer.

"Brother Fellow cultivator Zhang, it's all your fault."

"You made me lose face in front of Liang Qiaoer."

At night, lying in Zhang Qingxiao's arms, Zhou Yun complained coquettishly.

"Hehe..."

"She is just a little girl; you can't even talk back to her..."

"It seems I haven't trained you enough; now I must continue to train you."

Zhang Qingxiao snapped his fingers, the room's light instantly went out, and the newly built bed let out a creaking sound.

The spring night is short and the sun rises high; from now on the monarch does not attend morning court.

For several days in a row, Zhang Qingxiao did not Cultivate at night.

A month later, while Cultivating, Zhang Qingxiao suddenly felt the Longevity Skill running more smoothly, and the speed of circulating the heavenly cycle was faster.

The Spiritual Qi refined each time also increased. With a feeling in his heart, he opened his eyes and opened the attribute panel.

"The proficiency of the Longevity Skill has finally reached the Grandmaster Level."

"I wonder how much the Cultivation speed will increase, and whether the speed of recovering Spiritual Qi will also improve..."

Seeing that the proficiency of the Longevity Skill had indeed reached the Grandmaster Level, Zhang Qingxiao was happy and even more expectant.

He didn't care what time it was, went straight to the courtyard, cast the Ice Technique and Fireball Technique, and quickly depleted the Spiritual Qi in his body.

Then he returned to the room and began to circulate the Cultivation Technique to recover his Spiritual Qi.

A quarter of an hour later, the depleted Spiritual Qi was fully restored, and it had even increased a little.

For the next few days, he stopped taking Golden Marrow Pills and using Low-Grade Spirit Stones to Cultivate.

He just meditated purely.

It took thirteen days to increase his Realm's Cultivation progress by one point.

"Thirteen days to increase the Cultivation speed by one point; without using Medicinal Pills and Spirit Stones, at most it will take three years to reach a Breakthrough to the Qi Refining Sixth Layer."

"Next, let's see how many days it takes using only Low-Grade Spirit Stones to Cultivate."

Having calculated the time it would take to reach a Breakthrough to the Qi Refining Sixth Layer without using Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills, Zhang Qingxiao finally had confidence in himself.

During this time, the effect of the Golden Marrow Pill had become worse and worse, which caused him some anxiety about his future Cultivation.

Now he had finally regained some self-confidence.
