Lin Qiongyu’s beautiful eyes flickered, and she waved her hand shyly: "Chengjun, though we are Dao partners, these resources are hard-earned by you, and you also need them for cultivation." Xue Chengjun rarely showed his firmness, full of masculine charm: "Between Dao partners, we share honor and disgrace. What’s mine is yours! Take it!" That’s right, Qiongyu is indeed his Dao partner! He almost held back earlier. Xue Chengjun was secretly ashamed. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍 "Then... alright, after all, we are Dao partners. With Chengjun’s ability, it’s not much to give up these five Qi Nourishing Pills." Lin Qiongyu smiled shyly, bursting with charm, making Xue Chengjun feel dizzy. Xue Chengjun patted his chest: "Of course! With me around, there’s no need for Qiongyu to endure grievances! Heh, that neighbor is just a medicinal farmer, why lower your stance and call him Senior?" Saying this, Xue Chengjun was quite disgruntled. Lin Qiongyu also nodded, sighing lightly: "I just want to expand our network for Chengjun..." Xue Chengjun’s heart softened: "To have a wife , what more could a husband ask for!" He gazed at Lin Qiongyu’s pretty face, suddenly swallowing: "Qiongyu, when can we finally share the same room..." Lin Qiongyu shyly covered her face: "Chengjun, on the path to the Dao, how can we be distracted by romance? Have you forgotten our pact to reach the Foundation Establishment together? We mustn’t consummate before. This is a widely spread rumor in the Cultivation Realm, It is said that maintaining Primordial Yin and Yang increases the possibility of breaking through to Foundation Establishment. Xue Chengjun certainly didn’t believe this rumor, but since his Dao partner did, he wouldn’t press it. Besides, Foundation Establishment, how distant a term... Xue Chengjun sighed wistfully, then suddenly perked up again: "Alright... Qiongyu, the association is placing more importance on me lately. After this task, Senior Tian even asked for my address." Hearing this, Lin Qiongyu’s face lit up with genuine joy: "Is it that Tian Feng, who knows the Spring Nurturing Hand? I’ve heard he’s highly regarded by your association’s leader." The higher Xue Chengjun’s status in the Stone Mirror Association, the more resources he would obtain. Lin Qiongyu naturally was happy to see this. Xue Chengjun boasted with pride: "Indeed! Senior Tian is currently at the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, about to become the next late-stage Qi Cultivator in the association! All the Spiritual Medicines are handled by him." Lin Qiongyu’s beautiful eyes flickered, deep in thought. It seemed Tian Feng was sitting on a goldmine... As the young Dao partners chatted, suddenly there was a gentle knock on the door: "Chengjun, are you in?" "It’s Senior Tian! He actually came to find me personally!" Xue Chengjun was overjoyed, throwing a glance at Lin Qiongyu. Lin Qiongyu slightly opened her red lips, her expression shocked. She really hadn’t expected it, that foolish Xue Chengjun was actually being valued by the Stone Mirror Association! Tian Feng rushed in, his face full of exhilaration, "This time, the Stone Mirror Association has an important task for you!" Xue Chengjun was visibly excited: "If the association commands, who would dare not obey!" Seeing Xue Chengjun so agreeable, Tian Feng looked gratified, his hand still trembling as it caressed the Storage Bag. Inside, the vibrant Red Orchid was unfurling its leaves. he had successfully obtained the cured Red Orchid from Chen Ye. Tian Feng didn’t even expect Chen Ye to cure it; the few skills Chen Ye displayed at the tavern had already convinced him. But he hadn’t expected Chen Ye’s expertise in Spirit Plants to exceed his imagination! If reported to the leader, even the leader would likely be shocked! Perhaps, even Old Man Ye from Herb Hall couldn’t compare to Chen Ye in some aspects... the Stone Mirror Association and Jade Lizard Association were fighting tooth and nail for East Valley. Among them, even Demon Cultivator figures emerged. Causing significant damage to many Spiritual Medicines. At this moment, Chen Ye’s importance far exceeded expectations! Tian Feng took a deep breath and solemnly said: "From now on, you are to win over Chen Ye for the association!" "Chen Ye is your new neighbor!" "I knew it; you lad are destined for fortune! Truly lucky, Chen Ye moved right next door to you... be sure to leave a good impression on him." "Of course, don’t foolishly call him Chen Ye; remember to address him as Senior Chen!" After saying this in one breath, Tian Feng noticed Xue Chengjun’s expression becoming stiffer, his eyelids twitching constantly. Xue Chengjun snapped back to reality, hastily responding: "Understood, I will do anything for the Stone Mirror Association!" After handing over the Red Orchid to Tian Feng. Chen Ye caressed the Spirit Stones in his hand, somewhat surprised. There were actually eighteen pieces! The price of a Red Orchid fluctuated between thirty to forty. Chen Ye expected, at a forty percent ratio, Tian Feng would give him at most sixteen pieces. "It seems the Stone Mirror Association deliberately made concessions to maintain a good relationship with me." Chen Ye put away the Spirit Stones. Currently, his assets amounted to twenty Spirit Stones! He could indulge in his Immortal Cultivation again! Weighing the heavy Spirit Stone Bag, Chen Ye’s not-so-happy mood instantly brightened. He sneered: "Those two scoundrels really did slander me..." In those first few days after transmigrating here, Chen Ye couldn’t raise his head in front of the neighbors. Even he thought his predecessor had harassed a female cultivator. No help for it, the predecessor had a notorious reputation. Truly, like a dumb person eating yellow lotus, he couldn’t explain the bitterness. Chen Ye contemplated, swirling a thread of golden light around his fingertips. As his Spiritual Power was exhausted, the golden light dimmed. He swallowed a Qi Recovery Pill, Before long, his dried-up Dantian regenerated Spiritual Power. [Geng Metal Technique Perfection: 240/400] "With Qi Recovery Pills replenishing, skill proficiency grows faster than the cultivation technique, but it consumes far more Qi Recovery Pills than Qi Nourishing Pills." Chen Ye felt somewhat elated. He only needed to perform it one hundred and sixty times before he could break through the Limit Break with Geng Metal Technique. With full Spiritual Power, he could perform it ten times. One Qi Recovery Pill replenished enough Spiritual Power for five performances. Around thirty Qi Recovery Pills, and he could achieve a Limit Break! "Sister, this cake is so delicious! It’s even better than osmanthus cake!" The white furred ball dipped her fingertips a bit, tasted it on her tongue, and her eyes lit up. The black furred ball smiled slightly: "Qing Jun, big sister won’t eat." As long as Qing Jun was happy eating, she was happy. Chen Ye eyed the food box, pondering. According to Lin Qiongyu, this was pastry from the Cloud Clothing Pavilion. Cloud Clothing Pavilion was Yunxi District’s top restaurant, dealing with liquor and pleasure trades. Could it be that Lin Qiongyu is... "Master, do you want some?" Qing Jun glanced at him timidly, dipped her finger into the Dragon Beard Cake, and stretched it toward Chen Ye. Qing Jun wanted to feed him, Chen Ye, of course, was pleased. But he couldn’t help but suspect... was this little girl trying to disgust him on purpose? Her fingers were filthy. Not that Chen Ye was overly suspicious, but he just noticed Qing Jun’s mouth curling up slightly. This little girl might just be a wolf in sheep’s clothing... "Master doesn’t want any; Qing Jun, just eat it yourself." As Chen Ye spoke, he saw the little girl pout miserably as she withdrew her finger: "Master, do you dislike Qing Jun?" Seeing Qing Jun almost in tears, Chen Ye certainly didn’t think the little girl was a wolf in sheep’s clothing anymore. His gaze shifted, landing on the innocent older girl. Zhiwei was slightly startled, her small hands quietly clutching her dress, somewhat nervous. Why was Chen Ye looking at her? Did he want to feed her again? Pastries aren’t meals... Hmm... she was actually curious about how they tasted. "Qing Jun, when eating pastries, don’t forget your senior sister... if senior sister isn’t eating, then you should feed her too!" Chen Ye sneered mischievously.
