306: The founder of capitalists is none other than Xi Ling

“Are you serious?”

Gu Qing couldn't understand how a ruthless and vicious villain like Xi Ling, who wouldn't even bat an eye at slaughtering billions of living beings, a being born to destroy heaven and earth, would do such a great deed that benefited others at her own expense.

Looking at Xi Ling's graceful and exquisite figure, with her noble and ethereal temperament,

Gu Qing had a moment of doubt, thinking perhaps Xi Ling was actually a goddess, true to her outward appearance.

He shook his head; it was an illusion.

Xi Ling was a wicked villain, and the Heaven Refining Great Array was the most powerful proof.

“Naturally!”

Xi Ling's eyes were filled with reluctance, and she said faintly, “Just tell me if you agree or not.”

“I can.” Gu Qing didn't play coy and readily agreed.

With such a windfall, there was no need for him to be clever and try to block it.

He thought, “No matter what Xi Ling's purpose is, I'll take the free meal first. If the situation turns unfavorable, I can always turn hostile and disavow her.”

“Good, in half a month at the latest, I'll have them go with you,” Xi Ling said, pursing her red lips.

Half a month... Gu Qing gave her a deep look, and the stone hanging in his heart finally fell.

In half a month, it should be the time for Xi Ling to make her move.

Gu Qing was still waiting for it.

If it still needed a few years, Gu Qing would have already left.

“Young Master Gu, why don't you stay here for now?” Hong Lan said.

The four women's beautiful eyes moved back and forth between the two, an inexpressible emotion spreading through their hearts.

Xi Ling had considered so deeply to pave the way for them.

What virtue or ability did they possess?

They were just maids bought by Qi Xiangyi.

If not for Qi Xiangyi, they might have been living in the secular world, and if lucky, they could have become concubines in a wealthy family.

Millions of years ago, they would have already been a handful of loess.

It was only after following Qi Xiangyi that they had the opportunity to cultivate immortality.

But their aptitudes were not good; they had only ordinary bone structures, just like mortals.

It took countless treasures for them to barely break through to the Venerable Realm.

If it weren't for the essence of the Heavenly Dao bestowed by Xi Ling, they would not have been able to ascend to the Immortal Realm, let alone cultivate to Xuan Shen Peak.

Everything they possessed was given by Qi Xiangyi and Xi Ling.

“Young Master Gu, you and the Eldest Miss both belong to the Starry Sky lineage, and you are a shining pearl of this era, far beyond the reach of your peers. If the two of you were to discuss the Dao, you would surely gain immensely.”

Shu Ying also chimed in.

They didn't want to give up until the last moment.

What if Gu Qing persuaded Xi Ling? What if Xi Ling suddenly fell for Gu Qing? What if Xi Ling gave up refining the Eternal Universe for Gu Qing?

Even with a sliver of hope, they didn't want to give up.

Wan He and Yi Tang also began to persuade him.

This was the first time in their lives they had overstepped, disregarding Xi Ling's opinion.

Seeing the pleading eyes of the four beautiful women, Gu Qing fell silent.

He suddenly understood why Xi Ling wanted to give the four of them to him.

But he really couldn't help with this.

“All of you, withdraw.”

Xi Ling interrupted their incessant chatter and transmitted, “Immediately proceed according to the plan. Within half a month, each of the three hundred and sixty array foundations must have at least one hundred Heavenly God Realm cultivators and ten thousand Divine Fire Realm cultivators.”

“Also, recall all Ran Family members; they are not allowed to go out.”

“Yes!”

The four retreated unwillingly.

Xi Ling's eyes shifted, and she poured Gu Qing a cup of tea, asking curiously, “Who is the mother of your child?”

Chu Yao had mentioned that Gu Qing had two Dao companions, and she wondered if they had ascended.

Moreover, the mother who could give birth to a divine infant must have extraordinary strength.

And the time required to conceive a divine infant would be at least several hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years.

Judging from Gu Qing's age, the child was unlikely to be from his two Dao companions.

Based on the above information, Xi Ling vaguely had some guesses.

Gu Qing glanced at the teacup in front of him, surprised, “You like to listen to gossip too?”

“This isn't gossip. Since I'm marrying them to you, I naturally need to understand your basic situation.”

Xi Ling stroked her translucent silver hair, her expression leisurely: “Besides, we are old friends, aren't we? Shouldn't you tell me? So I can send a generous gift to my little niece, can't I?”

“That's true, but my wife prefers to keep a low profile, so her name is inconvenient to disclose. My daughter's nickname is Yan'er.”

Gu Qing smiled.

The cunning bastard, not even willing to say a name, yet still wants a generous gift?

You wish you could die beautifully.

Xi Ling no longer pretended: “Your wife should be that Immortal King you invited, right?”

“Although it's incredible that a mere Heavenly God Realm cultivator like you could marry an Immortal King, besides her, I really can't think of anyone else.”

Gu Qing's mouth twitched.

He never expected such an outrageous answer to be guessed by Xi Ling so quickly.

“If you don't answer, I'll take it as your default.”

Xi Ling was even more curious: “She must have the bloodline of an Immortal Emperor, right? In terms of strength, she is definitely one of the best among Immortal Kings.”

“How did you two meet? How did you trick her into your hands?”

“That's too much.” Gu Qing's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly.

“Heh, how is it too much?”

Xi Ling sneered: “How firm is an Immortal King's Dao Heart? Moreover, with such a huge disparity between you two, if you didn't use despicable means, you wouldn't even be qualified to meet her.”

Although what Xi Ling said was common knowledge—a Heavenly God Realm cultivator truly had no right to meet an Immortal King—

it didn't apply to him.

He was forced into it, alright?

“We truly love each other. What you're saying is pure slander, slandering my noble character, trampling my exalted dignity, and insulting my sincere heart.”

“Pfft.”

“Can you, you bastard, be any more exaggerated?”

“You, with noble character, exalted dignity, and sincere heart? Do you even possess these things?”

“Before saying that, do you want to look in a mirror?”

“Do you want me to help you recall how you molested me?”

“Pulling your belt was an accidental slip. Holding you in my arms was simply an uncontrollable moment of passion. This doesn't prove anything.”

“Shameless, utterly shameless! I have never seen such a brazen scoundrel as you. Your face is thicker than a city wall.”

“Slandering me comes at a price. I advise you to think carefully before speaking,” Gu Qing said with narrowed eyes, his words full of meaning.

Xi Ling's expression changed, her body tensed, and she looked at Gu Qing warily.

Immediately, she dared not curse anymore.

Gu Qing was proficient in spatial laws, and with such close proximity, if Gu Qing suddenly launched a sneak attack, she would find it very difficult to defend against.

“Quickly give me my daughter's congratulatory gift; I need to go back,” Gu Qing said.

“Shameless,” Xi Ling unconsciously blurted out.

“You were the one who said you'd give a gift, so why are you blaming me again?”

“...”

She was truly infuriated.

Xi Ling took a few deep breaths: “Stop with your twisted logic. If you want a generous gift, bring your daughter here.”

She was incredibly curious about the divine infant and really wanted to see it. Yan'er's origin might yield some insights.

“Alright!”

Gu Qing drank it all and stood up, intending to leave.

“Wait.”

“I'm serious. If you bring your daughter, I'll immediately give you a generous gift. I have quite a few rare demonic beasts in my possession; I can give them all to you if you wish.”

“We'll see.”

This woman, Xi Ling, was exceptionally malicious and extremely stingy.

She was so eager to see Yan'er; who knew what wicked ideas she was concocting.

She was probably trying to investigate Yan'er's origins.

Mere demonic beasts were not worth it.

“This bastard.”

Seeing this, Xi Ling immediately understood Gu Qing's thoughts.

He was clearly guarding against her.

Heaven and earth bear witness, she truly had no intention of harming Gu Qing or anyone associated with him.

She just wanted to see the divine infant.

She had been curious about the favored child of the ancient era for a long time and really wanted to know what it looked like and what its divine peculiarities were.

Gu Qing had taken so many benefits from her, yet he wouldn't even satisfy this small wish of hers. It was truly hateful... Time flew, and half a month passed in a flash.

Ever since the three hundred and sixty array foundations were activated, a massive amount of Immortal Origin Qi had surged forth.

All cultivators who received a jade token rushed to the array foundations at the first opportunity to cultivate in their exclusive cave dwellings.

In just three days, the three hundred and sixty array foundations were overcrowded.

However, many jade tokens appeared on the market.

Initially, the various forces in Xuantian Domain weren't very concerned, but upon seeing the three hundred and sixty array foundations truly spewing out massive amounts of Immortal Origin Qi,

everyone could no longer sit still.

For a time, a battle for jade tokens swept across the entire Xuantian Domain, causing chaos and upheaval.

Even Profound Gods couldn't resist entering the fray.

Although they already had jade tokens, who would complain about having too much of such a good thing?

If they couldn't use them all, they could give them to their disciples or auction them off for astronomical prices.

Those extra jade tokens were sold by the Ran Family members.

“What a clever scheme,”

Gu Qing marveled, watching the Profound God battle from high in the sky.

Xi Ling used these people to destroy the Jun Family and seize all of their treasures.

Not a single hair was given to those who participated in the battle.

She only left some fixed assets for them to divide among themselves. In reality, this was a diversion of conflict.

It was imaginable that the forces of Xuantian Domain, in order to gain more benefits, would surely fight tooth and nail.

And indeed, that was the case.

In the past two years, countless sects and families in Xuantian Domain had been annihilated.

In addition, Xi Ling also sold the jade tokens at high prices and had the Ran Family members coerce and entice, using unscrupulous means to plunder the wealth of Xuantian Domain.

Afterward, she would sacrifice these tools and then refine the entire Xuantian Domain.

She truly arranged the lives of the beings in Xuantian Domain clearly and thoroughly, squeezing out every last drop of blood.

These pitiful long-lived beings were sold by Xi Ling, yet they continued to risk their lives for her, contributing to Xi Ling until their deaths.

The patriarch of capitalists was none other than Xi Ling.

He Ni, holding her daughter, was silent for a moment, then said, “The cultivation world is treacherous, with endless schemes and calculations that are impossible to guard against.”

“However, you only need to remember one thing: there is no free lunch in the world, nor will there be pies falling from the sky. You only need to control the greed and lucky in your heart, and you can avoid ninety percent of schemes.”

This was what her master taught her.

She always kept it in mind, and because of it, she avoided countless schemes and calculations, successfully cultivated to an Immortal King, and fortunately attained the Dao of an Immortal Emperor.

“My wife is right.”

Gu Qing kissed her fair and tender cheek, feeling immensely fortunate.

Fortunately, he had obtained the system and was even luckier to choose to join the Star God Temple, soaring to prominence ever since.

If not for this, he probably wouldn't be much different from these people.

Fighting tooth and nail for a bit of resources.

One day, he might be sacrificed by a powerful being without even knowing what happened.

“Then I'll go first. Be careful,” He Ni said.

“Okay, you go to Tianlong Domain and wait for me. Don't worry about me.”

Gu Qing's expression was confident.

His Myriad Transformations Chaos could not be trapped by any array or seal in the world.

He had to observe the Heaven Refining Great Array and the Qi Tian Great Array.

After all, these were the nine great divine arrays of ancient times, profound and unfathomable, a kind of Great Dao.

If he could observe some of their mysteries, he would benefit immensely.

If he could fully comprehend them, it would be a heaven-shaking great fortune.

“Daddy, how long until you come back?”

Yan'er still hadn't changed at all, like a three-year-old toddler, fair and plump.

She had two cute little pigtails on her head, and her large eyes were clear black and white, lively and full of charm.

Every time she blinked her eyelashes, her big eyes seemed to speak.

Her personality was like He Ni's; she nestled in He Ni's arms, very quiet and well-behaved.

“Soon...” Gu Qing tugged her little pigtails, comforted her with a few words, and then left.
