61: What happened between her and me isn't what you think.
[Ding, System detected a Divine Soul brand on the Host. Erase it?]
Qin Dong's figure suddenly paused.
"System, explain to me what use this Divine Soul brand has."
He had just met his cheap Revered Master, and without needing to guess, he knew this was definitely the other party's doing.
But he needed to figure out what purpose this brand served.
Would it give him a hard time at a critical moment?
He didn't want to have an accident without knowing why, or have his location monitored while doing bad things.
[Ding, explanation fee: 500 top-up points]
"Confirm."
[Ding, this Divine Soul brand can perceive the life status of the branded person and can assist in teleportation.]
"If I remove this Divine Soul brand, will the other party perceive it?"
[Ding, no. The Divine Soul brand is a passive display; unless the life status is critical, the brander will not receive any sensory feedback.]
Qin Dong nodded.
Obtaining the System's answer, he understood that this was a life-saving measure left by his cheap Revered Master on him.
After just this meeting, Qin Dong still couldn't fully determine his cheap Revered Master's true attitude toward him.
But since this Divine Soul brand wouldn't cause him any substantial impact, he decided not to remove it for now.
Immediately after, Qin Dong separated a strand of consciousness into the system space. With a thought of his Divine Thought, a rustling sound rang out.
A Nascent Soul Cultivator was truly wealthy, actually giving Qin Dong numerous cultivation resources.
A large batch of Spirit Stones fell into it, instantly turning into top-up points.
Looking at the full 20,000 top-up points in the system space, Qin Dong couldn't help but laugh like a pig.
"Didn't expect earning Spirit Stones to be so simple."
"Absolutely no pressure."
Half a year without opening for business, one opening feeds you for half a year.
Moreover, there was still a batch of Medicinal Pills in the spatial ring; if sold entirely, they could be exchanged for nearly 15,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
"Can't spend it all, absolutely can't spend it all."
Relying on a Nascent Soul bigwig, who would still work hard on those trivial side jobs?
Wanting Spirit Stones was just a matter of a few words, easy as pie.
Thinking of this, Qin Dong immediately felt wonderful inside.
Eager to share this good news with Qin Zixuan, his hands quickly formed hand seals, and the speed of the Flying Sword beneath him climbed linearly, increasing by more than double.
The Flying Sword was like the wind, and his figure flashed like lightning through the mountain peaks, leaving a trail of flowing light.
It attracted countless male and female Disciples sitting in meditation on the many Spirit Peaks he passed, who looked up, their eyes flashing with envy.
"Which Senior Brother is this, so carefree."
A woman sighed in a low voice, her expression full of longing.
"Truly envious."
"If you're envious, why don't you hurry up and improve your cultivation?"
Someone teased, and then they practiced even harder.
...
Less than a quarter of an hour later, Qin Dong returned to the front of the One Pillar Reaching Heaven Palace.
The light of the defensive Formation bloomed instantly, then returned to calm, as if welcoming his return.
Putting away the Flying Sword, Qin Dong pushed open the door full of joy.
He saw that inside the main hall, besides Qin Zixuan, there was an extra unfamiliar figure, and the two seemed to be chatting.
You must know that ever since Qin Dong's Formation Rank broke through to the Golden Core, the defense of the entire One Pillar Supporting Heaven Peak Palace had been strengthened countless times by him.
On top of the One Pillar Supporting Heaven Peak, those intricate Formations were wrapped around like spider webs.
Killing Formations, Illusion Formations, Concealment Formations, Shielding Formations, and No-Fly Formations were intertwined, countless in number.
As Qin Dong's lair, the strength of its defense went without saying.
For Cultivators below the Early Stage Golden Core, without the permission of Qin Dong and Qin Zixuan, rashly breaking into this peak top would likely result in death or severe injury, or at least losing a layer of skin.
"Who exactly is this person?"
When Qin Dong frowned and saw her face clearly, he instantly turned to stone.
"You, you, you... how are you here?" Qin Dong's voice trembled slightly.
"Who let you come?"
Wang Wantang's eyes flickered, but she still put her hands on her hips and replied: "None of your business."
At this moment, Qin Zixuan sat to the side with a playful look, her two beautiful eyes constantly scanning the two people whose movements and expressions were quite spectacular at the moment.
Qin Dong felt his scalp tingle a bit, suddenly feeling like he was cheating outside and had been caught by his original partner.
Qin Zixuan didn't speak, but it seemed she had said a lot.
No, I have to explain clearly; this is a misunderstanding.
Qin Dong felt anxious, his expression bitter.
"Zixuan, listen to me."
"She and I really have nothing."
"Nothing happened between us."
"Both of us are innocent."
"The things between her and me, really aren't what you think."
...
As soon as the words fell, Qin Dong noticed the smile on Qin Zixuan's face becoming more intense.
Qin Dong wanted to slap himself a few times.
You bastard, how are you speaking? Why does it seem like the more you explain, the more you confirm it?
But, I really didn't have anything happen with her!
I just looked at her a few times, gave her a bit of cultivation resources, helped her improve her Aptitude, and gave her an Earth Rank Magic Treasure.
That's all...
We have a pure friendship, no other purpose.
Even if there was a purpose, it was just to use the other party to block bullets for himself.
He was confident that he had done enough concealment work every time he went out; how could she have doubts? Which part had the loophole appeared in?
"The scent that often appears on you is not hard to find."
"In less than half a month, I found it."
Qin Zixuan's voice was gentle but carried a hint of triumph, as if she truly believed that Qin Dong and Wang Wantang had something going on.
Regarding this, Qin Dong just wanted to shout that he was wronged; what should he do now?
However, all explanations now were pale and weak.
Qin Dong's brain spun rapidly, trying hard to find a way to break the situation.
He hesitated whether he should tell his plan, but using a woman to attract the hatred of hostile forces was really a bit despicable.
If he said it and ruined his image in her heart, what would he do?
Just as the situation fell into embarrassment.
At this time, Qin Zixuan moved slightly.
She stepped forward and gently took Wang Wantang's little hand, and then took Qin Dong's pig trotter.
In Qin Dong's puzzled expression, the hands of the three people slapped together.
"Then, from today on, we are a family."
Qin Dong paused, stunned on the spot.
It's over, the situation seems to be developing in an unfavorable direction.
Although he had a little bit of affection for Wang Wantang, it wasn't that strong.
As of now, he didn't even think about doing anything to her.
But now, it seemed like he couldn't wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Qin Zixuan: Happy
Wang Wantang: Happy
Qin Dong: Sad
Looking at Qin Dong's unhappy appearance, Qin Zixuan couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
"Hmph, sister, let's go into the inner hall and ignore this Lecher."
"Pah!"
As soon as Qin Zixuan finished speaking, she spat fiercely at Qin Dong.
That little expression was as if she were looking at a heinous heartless man, full of disdain and contempt.
"Mm-hmm, Wantang listens to Sister."
Wang Wantang responded softly, her face filled with smiles.
Hand in hand, they walked into the inner hall like a pair of sisters.
Leaving Qin Dong alone in the main hall, his heart full of chaos.
The two women began to chat about the lively topics of the outside world in the inner hall, and from time to time, bursts of crisp laughter like silver bells came.
Their words were not soundproofed, and they communicated unscrupulously.
"I heard that an Outer Sect Disciple in the Sect recently refined a top-grade Medicinal Pill, attracting the Elder of the Alchemy Building to come in person."
Qin Zixuan's tone carried a bit of gossip.
"That Disciple seems to be called Ye... Ye..."
"Ye Chenyi." Wang Wantang continued.
"Right, right, that's Ye Chenyi. Sister Wantang, do you know him?"
"Not exactly, we met once during the Outer Sect competition some time ago."
"How is it? How does his appearance compare to our family's Lecher?"
"Although that Disciple is not bad-looking, but..."
While speaking, Wang Wantang's gaze involuntarily glanced outside the main hall, "But he is not as good-looking as our family's Lecher."
"Hehe, Sister Wantang, you only just realized our family's Lecher is good-looking?"
"By the way, how does the Lecher treat you?"
"Pretty good, he gave Wantang a lot of things."
"Tell me, tell me quickly, what did the Lecher give you? Confess honestly."
Qin Zixuan leaned forward to inquire about the news.
While speaking, on the other side, Qin Zixuan's hands began to become restless, and she didn't know who she learned it from, wandering around on the other party's body.
"Good sister, good sister, it's so itchy, spare me, I'll tell you."
Wang Wantang was touched by the other party, pouting incessantly.
"Too late, bad sister, take this."
The two were frolicking in the inner hall, and laughter echoed in the air.
This scene couldn't help but make Qin Dong have the thought that it would be fine if the three of them just lived their lives well.
"Go, go, go, what's going on."
"How could I have such a strange thought."
Discuss this later; I have to explain it clearly then.
For now, it's more important to prepare for the Breakthrough.
Qin Dong walked to a futon in the main hall and sat cross-legged.
His Divine Sense quickly sank into the system space.
[Host: Qin Dong]
[Cultivation: Late Stage Foundation Establishment Realm (90%)]
Looking at his cultivation progress bar, Qin Dong estimated.
According to his cultivation speed, in at most three months, he would be able to step into the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm, at which point he could try to break through to the Golden Core Realm.
During this period, he could prepare in advance for the Golden Core Breakthrough items, although the Three Revolutions Nanhua Scripture had the method for Golden Core Breakthrough.
But the more such Breakthrough methods there were, the better, and they would certainly be of no small help to the Breakthrough.
Thinking of this, Qin Dong decided to see what good goods were in the System mall to help with the Breakthrough.
He first opened the System and spun the daily special turntable.
[Thank you for your patronage]
"Screw you."
Qin Dong then opened the System shop, searched around, and soon found a product that satisfied him.
[Self-Cultivation of a Golden Core Cultivator: Golden Core Breakthrough Guide] Price: 250 top-up points.
[Ding, purchase successful]
In the main hall, Qin Dong opened his eyes, his mind moved.
A simple and profound little booklet appeared in his hand, the cover simple and clear.
It was written with the words Golden Core Breakthrough Guide.
The author's name was also written on the cover, and the three words Li Jinian looked particularly solemn.
Hmm, it looks like it should be a highly moral Cultivator.
Qin Dong opened the booklet and browsed through the contents, and soon he closed the booklet with a serious expression.
"Profiteer!"
"Abominable profiteer!"
250 top-up points exchanged for a sentence of "Great force creates miracles," Qin Dong was furious.
With a puff sound.
A cluster of dark green flames ignited from Qin Dong's hand, setting the booklet on fire.
In one breath, it burned the booklet into ashes.
After doing this, the two women had just finished chatting in the inner hall and walked out hand in hand, like best friends.
Seeing the two walking out hand in hand, both smiling prettily, Qin Dong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and let go of his heart.
At the very least, his harem wouldn't catch fire.
Ah no, he didn't start a harem.
"Hey, Lecher."
"Today is Sister Wantang's first time back to our home, don't you have any sense of ritual?"
Sense of ritual?
Could it be...
Qin Dong raised his eyebrows, sizing up the two women in front of him who had their own charms and were budding, and fell into thought.
In broad daylight, doing such a thing is a bit offensive to public morals.
And it's one against two, one king and two queens, it's really a bit offensive to public morals.
But since the Madam strongly requested it, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it.
"Hehehehe."
Qin Zixuan observed that the other party's eyes gradually became lewd. With his lecherous nature, she could tell at a glance that he had thought wrong, so she immediately frowned and corrected: "The sense of ritual I mentioned is for the three of us to go out for a stroll."
"We have to take Sister Wantang to Tianjian City to see the scenery."
"She has been in the Sect for so long, but she hasn't been to Tianjian City yet."
"Right, actually I was thinking the same thing just now."
Hearing this, Qin Dong suddenly realized, and he had no reason to refuse.
It just so happened that he also had a batch of Medicinal Pills to process in Tianjian City.
The three walked out of the gate of One Pillar Reaching Heaven Palace.
Qin Dong suddenly realized that Wang Wantang's cultivation was not enough to perform Flying Sword flight.
So he opened the system space and spent 200 top-up points to buy a special Flying Sword for the other party.
[Nanny-level Flying Sword: Lowers the threshold for users, built-in micro Spirit Gathering Formation, can slowly autonomously restore Spiritual Qi, can fly 400 miles when full of Spiritual Qi]
[Minimum usage condition: First Layer of Qi Refining]
[Price: 200 top-up points]
Although the grade of this Flying Sword was not high, it was enough for sword flight.
Qin Dong used the dislocation of the spatial ring to take out the Flying Sword from the system space and handed it to Wang Wantang.
Wang Wantang was overjoyed, took the Flying Sword, and felt a warmth in her heart.
Although she didn't know what the other party meant by this, receiving something from the other party still made her particularly happy.
"The new generation replaces the old, no more love."
Qin Zixuan saw this scene from the side and said in a sour tone.
"Don't worry, you have a share too, this is also for you."
Qin Dong smiled and responded, then bought another Flying Sword from the System store and gently handed it to Qin Zixuan.
[Golden Core Level Flying Sword: Built-in medium Spirit Gathering Formation, can slowly autonomously restore Spiritual Qi, can burst out with the speed of a Half-Step Golden Core in full speed state, can fly 2000 miles when full of Spiritual Qi]
[Minimum usage condition: Early Stage Foundation Establishment]
[Price: 1000 top-up points]
This Flying Sword was almost identical to Wang Wantang's, with strange patterns and a deep blue body.
Although these Flying Swords were not low in grade, their design was more focused on practicality, not born for combat.
Wang Wantang's voice carried a hint of embarrassment: "That, Sister Zixuan, I... I don't know the Flying Sword flight technique."
"It doesn't matter, tell the Lecher to teach you."
"Let me tell you, don't look at the Lecher's sloppy appearance all day, he is proficient in everything."
Qin Zixuan smiled and pushed Qin Dong. The latter scratched his head helplessly, stepped forward, and began to teach Wang Wantang the tricks of Flying Sword flight.
I don't know if Qin Dong's explanation was exquisite, or if Wang Wantang's comprehension ability was extraordinary.
In less than a short quarter of an hour, she mastered the technique of Flying Sword flight.
"Mm, I... I'm flying."
"Sister Zixuan, the scenery above is so beautiful."
Wang Wantang was driving the Flying Sword and soaring continuously over the One Pillar Supporting Heaven Peak.
"Let's go, set off, Tianjian City."
After Qin Dong and Qin Zixuan simply changed their appearances, they also sacrificed their own Flying Swords, and the three flew all the way towards where Tianjian City was located.
In mid-air, Qin Dong suddenly came up with a bold idea.
Should he build a Teleportation Array on the One Pillar Supporting Heaven Peak that can lead directly to Tianjian City?
