Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Chapter 446: Chapter 292: Selling Supplies, Seeking Cultivation Resources! (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
 

Xu Xiao looked at Yun Muyao, taking a deep breath.

“I can’t understand. As the Holy Daughter of Tianhe, your talent and intelligence are far beyond my reach.”

“I can see why you wouldn’t fall for someone like me, Xu Xiao. But why are you attracted to that pretty boy? Is it because of his good looks?”

Xu Xiao was filled with resentment.

Having personally lost to Yun Muyao, he was aware of her strength, something he could never attain in his lifetime.

The difference between them was as big as the gap between heaven and earth. They were not on the same level.

As for pursuing Yun Muyao, he never thought that he could succeed or receive a response. It was just his wishful thinking!

Initially, he didn’t take the rumors from the outside world seriously.

He had no idea who would be worthy of Yun Muyao, worthy of the Holy Daughter of the Tianhe Sacred Land!

Even the Holy Son of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, who wasn’t too far off, seemed no different from him. He felt that he, too, wasn’t worthy.

Both of them could only look up to Yun Muyao, how could they be qualified to touch her?

Both were as different as heaven and earth; he and the other guy were both mere mortals!

The only difference was that some were higher than others, like mud at the top of a mountain, but there was no essential difference.

So when he heard the previous rumors, he never really believed they would turn out to be true as people said.

But at this moment, he had to believe.

Because the fact was right before his eyes, the two behaved very intimately.

Such intimacy was something he did not even dare to dream of.

Yet now it was happening right before him.

Upon hearing Xu Xiao’s question, Yun Muyao said, “Do I need you to understand my actions? All you need to know is that he is mine!”

As she finished speaking, she tightened her grip on Jiang Yuan’s arm.

“Uh…”

“Senior Sister, if you do this, isn’t it just inviting hatred for me?”

Jiang Yuan communicated to Yun Muyao.

Only her communication was heard.

“Don’t worry about it, just stay still!”

Xu Xiao, after hearing these extremely harsh words and seeing their intimate behavior,

His fist clenched tightly in his sleeve.

His gaze suddenly turned to Jiang Yuan: “I don’t care what your name is, if you are a man, should have a fair duel with me!”

“I want to see what makes you worthy of the Holy Lady’s favor.”

“Hiding behind a woman, what kind of man are you?”

“Fairness? Ha!” Yun Muyao gave a cold laugh: “You, over a hundred years old, have the nerve to talk about fairness?”

“I can use a high-quality spiritual treasure, the ‘Spiritual Treasure of All Beings’, to suppress my cultivation level to the same realm as yours! Do you dare to fight me?”

As Xu Xiao said this, his eyes, sharp as lightning, were fixed on Jiang Yuan.

“Let me handle it!” Jiang Yuan said indifferently, then pulled out his arm and stood in front of Yun Muyao.

“No need for such trouble. I’m Jiang Yuan. I’ll wait for you to fight me a year from now!”

“A year, huh?” Xu Xiao looked at Jiang Yuan: “Fine, then I’ll wait for you at Tianhe Sacred Land for a year! I’ll remember you, Jiang Yuan! If you don’t show up in a year, I’ll come looking for you!”

Having said that, Xu Xiao did not say any more.

He turned and went back to his golden chariot.

“Sun Cong, let’s go back to the Sacred Land!”

“Yes, my lord!”

A few moments later, the four heavenly horses took to the sky with a neigh.

The horses trotted in the void, and soon, the golden chariot disappeared before everyone’s eyes.

“Junior Brother, why did you agree to his challenge? There’s really no need!”

“You’re just a teenager, while he’s already in his hundreds!”

“In the mortal realm, he would be in his grave by now, and you’re still in your prime!”

Jiang Yuan said, “It’s alright. I’m confident I’ll win after a year! As he said, it’s a matter of dignity!”

Then looking at Yun Muyao, he said with some helplessness, “Senior Sister, you’re really a femme fatale. Just one visit to your palace and I’ve been drawn into this trouble!”

Junior Brother, don’t be mad!” Yun Muyao said, holding Jiang Yuan’s arm. “If it bothers you so much, I’ll compensate you! Just tell me what you want!”

Jiang Yuan said, “Let’s not talk about this now. Come with me to the Treasure Pavilion. If we postpone it any longer, it will be tomorrow!”

“Alright! I’ll do as Junior Brother says today!”

…

On the golden chariot.

“Master, shall I go and bother that Jiang Yuan later? Secretly get rid of him!”

“No need! I want to have a upright and proper fight with him a year later!” Xu Xiao shook his head, continuing: “I want to see what he will rely on to win me a year from now? What gives him such confidence!”

“Master, there’s something I’m not sure if I should say.”

“I get your point! You think since he voluntarily proposed a battle in a year, he must be highly assured. You’re afraid I might capsize, aren’t you?”

“You are wise, master!”

“Even if it really is a losing battle, I’ll wait until that day! If he can truly defeat me fair and square after a year, I’m willing to accept this defeat! He would really be worthy of the Holy Lady!”

Liu Bo was stunned at these words, gaping at Xu Xiao.

Xu Xiao languidly said, “You don’t know how important Yun Muyao is to me. I know I’m not worthy of her, don’t deserve to go with her, and have no chance with her!”

“If there’s really someone who can defeat me at this age, I’m willing to help them!”

“This way, I can cut off the obsessive thoughts in my heart! I can also concentrate more on my cultivation.”

…

On the other side, as they departed,

People in the crowd finally dared to quietly discuss.

“Did I see it wrong? The veiled girl is actually the Holy Girl of the Tianhe Sacred Land? This…this can’t be true, right?”

“What is impossible? Didn’t you see Xu Xiao come to her? He is a direct disciple of Tianhe Sacred Land! Moreover, he is the eldest grandson of the Grand Elder of Tianhe Sacred Land!”

“Are you kidding me? The dignified Holy Girl of the Tianhe, one of the top ten beauties of the Eastern Region, is attracted to a man? Does it mean I have absolutely no hope now?”

“Look at yourself in the mirror! Even if she falls for someone, it won’t be you!”

“…”

Treasure Pavilion.

In a short while, the two arrived there.

Yun Muyao was holding Jiang Yuan’s arm, her hairpin hanging down from her forehead, covering the red lotus mark between her brows.

As the two entered the door of the Treasure Pavilion, someone immediately came up to greet them.

“Sir, Miss, may I know what you need in the Treasure Pavilion?”

Yun Muyao took out a multicolored card and flashed it before the maid.

The maid’s body shook slightly, and she bowedin haste.

“Honored guests, please follow me to the second floor!”

She lead the way with her head bowed, her heart filled with astonishment.

Only three of these cards had been issued in Tianhe City, and each one was owned by the most top-ranking individuals.

All three belonged to people from Tianhe Sacred Land.

One was the Holy Master, the ruler of Tianhe Sacred Land.

One was the Grand Elder, who had a high cultivation and carried great weight.

And the last was the current Holy Daughter of Tianhe Sacred Land.

Although the woman who had just arrived wore a veil, the maid could not discern her features.

But from her overall stature and temperament, it was undoubtedly Her Excellency Holy Daughter.

It was precisely because she was utterly sure that this woman was the Holy Daughter of Tianhe Sacred Land that she was so shocked.

Because the Holy Daughter hadn’t come to the Treasure Pavilion alone but was accompanied by a young man.

Highlighting their intimacy, the Holy Daughter held the young man’s arm.

The pair followed the maid to the second floor.

“Sister, loosen your grip a little, she definitely recognized you! Behaving like this might ruin your reputation as the Holy Daughter!” Jiang Yuan relayed to Yun Muyao.

“No loosening, this is my compensation! Little brother, is it soft?”

As she spoke, she held Jiang Yuan’s arm with both hands, pressing it into her embrace.

Jiang Yuan nodded slowly, because he could not bring himself to speak against his own consciousness.

He felt that his relationship with Yun Muyao was becoming increasingly twisted.

Starting from when she massaged him, their relation gradually evolved.

After learning some of her secrets, such as her penchant for forbidden books and using him as a research object for her peculiar ideas, things became steadily weirder.

After a while.

The three arrived in the VIP room on the second floor.

As Jiang Yuan opened the door, he watched as a beautiful woman in the room quickly rose and respectfully greeted them, “My name is Cui Wanru, one of the managers here. My respects to the Holy Daughter!”

Yun Muyao let go of Jiang Yuan’s arm, removed her veil, and revealed her exquisite beauty.

“I’m here today to help my junior brother sell something.”

“Your Excellency, rest assured, we will definitely purchase it at the highest price!” the beautiful woman respectfully said.

Then she looked at Jiang Yuan and respectfully asked, “May I ask for the guest’s honorable name?”

“Just call me Jiang.”

“So you are Young Master Jiang, what would you like to sell?”

Jiang Yuan waved his hand over the floor of the VIP room.

In an instant, the entire floor was covered with colorful divine weapons and spiritual treasures, including five chunks of rare metals and two Phoenix Blood Herbs.

The beautiful woman gasped in surprise, “So many?”

Then she glanced at Jiang Yuan. She recognized these items instantly, they were the spoils of a great battle.

No wonder this young man was so intimate with the Holy Daughter, he’s not simple!

At this age, if he obtained these himself, it was indeed extraordinary.

She could tell at a glance the approximate strength of the former owners of these treasures.

But the vigorous youth in Jiang Yuan couldn’t be concealed.

In the cultivation world, anyone, regardless of status, would age inevitably.

There is no absolute rejuvenation.

With the passage of time, all would slowly age.

Therefore, one’s cultivation age could be estimated within a year or so, especially when they are younger.

Only those of great ability in the Cave realm could enjoy a lifespan of a thousand years. Even the absolute geniuses on the Supreme Ranking, those not yet a hundred years old with great ability in the Cave realm.

They couldn’t exude a youthful aura like this.

The accumulation of years could not be erased.

So, she could tell at first glance that Jiang Yuan was about eighteen to twenty.

At this age, he was considered extremely young in the cultivation world.

Jiang Yuan interrupted her thoughts.

“Manager Cui, please count it. In total, there are thirty-one lower-grade spiritual treasures, four middle-grade spiritual weapons, one top-grade spiritual treasure.”

“Five chunks of rare metal!”

“And two Phoenix Blood Herbs!”

Hearing this, Cui Wanru’s pupils contracted slightly.

“Even a top-grade spiritual treasure?”

“Yes!” Jiang Yuan nodded, “I wonder if your Treasure Pavilion can accept it?”

“We can!” Cui Wanru continued, “But I advise Young Master Jiang not to do this. Tonight, the Treasure Pavilion will hold a medium-sized auction that occurs once a month!”

“Items of this value, if they were auctioned off at tonight’s auction, the price could be much higher!”

Jiang Yuan was quite interested when he heard this.

He was about to get a batch of resources, and he was not far from opening the Four Great Daoist Palace and entering the Four Extremes Realm.

The foundation of opening the Four Great Daoist Palace remained elusive. This auction might allow him to obtain something suitable.

Furthermore, the five major secret realms of the physical body also require top-grade spiritual items of the Five Elements as foundations to open the five major secret realms of the physical body.

From there, the Five Viscera Gods are nurtured and the cultivation path of the physical body is attempted.

Thinking of this, he nodded, “That’s fine too.”

Cui Wanru said, “Since Young Master has that intention, then the mid-grade spiritual treasure and high-grade spiritual treasure will be listed in the auction.”

“As for the other items, the Treasure Pavilion will buy them and clear the accounts.”

Jiang Yuan nodded, “Thank you, Manager Cui.”

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment, “Also, take the godlike image of the Giant Spirit God to the auction.”

“Alright!” Cui Wanru obediently followed his order.

Then she said, “Young Master Jiang, let me count your divine weapons and spiritual treasures to give you an estimate.”

“Alright!” Jiang Yuan nodded slightly.
