Shang Yanting completely ruined everything and then immediately packed his bags and left.

He didn't even clear the eighth floor, let alone the seventh.

Jia Xitong found a magical artifact on the eighth floor: a large sword—which originally belonged to Shang Zhenyun;

Shining Gold Magical Artifact: A Great Sword – originally from Shang Yanting, later transferred to Shang Jiuming;

The gleaming golden ritual implement: a large club—judging by its appearance, it should belong to Chief Song;

And a beautifully designed hairpin, which I'd guessed belonged to Song Yu'er. It was pretty but useless, since she was the poorest of them all.

But Jia Xitong made a fortune from those three things alone!

Seventh floor

The passageway was smooth and flat, with the bones of monsters and humans scattered in the corners, along with various weapons such as swords, spears, and halberds.

Each one is of low grade; they all come from merchants who come looking for treasure.

Jia Xitong used a brand new Sumeru Talisman to pack all these things. They walked all the way to the end, but the road ahead was blocked by a landslide, leaving only a narrow entrance.

The raccoon's body is small enough to fit perfectly into this hole.

Then she saw a bed pieced together from bones.

This looks like where the snake woman lives.

Jia Xitong gripped the luminous pearl tightly, turned it around inside, and found a wooden box about the size of a palm.

baby? !

She opened the box expectantly, and inside was a yellowed piece of paper and two pills in a small porcelain bottle.

Well……

This secret realm is a bit poor.

"system."

Shang Yanting's voice came from outside.

Jia Xitong grabbed everything and rushed out, almost forgetting that Shang Yanting was now blind. "Dear host, I'm here."

“Someone is approaching nearby, we should go.”

With such a major incident involving the merchant, news of it would reach the ears of other prominent families within a day.

The people from the seven great families arrived. A powerful, resounding voice echoed above the Shangmou City Lord's mansion, "Please disperse and check if there are any survivors inside..."

Shang Yanting had already returned to the inn ahead of everyone else.

It was already late at night, and the night watchman's drum had already sounded.

It was already late at night.

Shang Yanting was lying in bed preparing to rest, almost falling asleep, when he felt a pair of furry paws stroking his face.

It has a scent similar to face cream.

"I don't need this."

Shang Yanting's sudden words startled Jia Xitong, who was engrossed in applying perfume to him, causing the face cream in her hand to fall onto the bed.

She quickly grabbed some and applied it to Shang Yanting, saying, "Of course you need to. If you don't take good care of yourself, your face will be ruined."

Shang Yanting: "Appearance is merely an external thing."

"Nonsense. Looking good makes you feel good; a good mood makes you healthy; and health is the foundation of everything."

After applying the cream, Jia Xitong carefully examined his original face. "Look at your pockmarked face. You can't just use face cream. Go buy some special medicine tomorrow."

After saying that, she found some hot water and made a new hand warmer, which she placed under his feet.

"Get some rest. Tomorrow you must cultivate diligently and strive to regain your sight as soon as possible!"

As Shang Yanting listened to the incessant chatter beside him, the hysterical Shang family members from his dream gradually disappeared, and his cold and lonely heart was being filled little by little.

He reached out and pulled Jia Xitong into the blankets towards the direction she was speaking, saying, "Okay, go to sleep."

"Okay! Baby, go to sleep early."

Jia Xitong nodded, then closed her eyes.

Of course, raccoons don't need to sleep!

While Shang Yanting was asleep, Jia Xitong began to organize the new items in her magic talisman.

In terms of quantity, the trip to the merchants was quite fruitful.

She naturally intended to give the two large swords she received from the merchant to Shang Yanting.

The Song family's little hammer was also given to Shang Yanting.

There were roughly 124 remaining steel weapons, along with 6 pieces of armor and 3 pairs of iron boots.

Some of them are quite old and have rusted or broken, but these can be melted down and remade. The remaining 80% are in good condition.

The only things Jia Xitong didn't understand were the two pills and the yellowed drawing paper.

The painting was damaged, and many parts were illegible; Jia Xitong almost threw it away. But upon closer inspection, the remaining patterns contained the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, the ten Heavenly Stems and twelve Earthly Branches.

The shadows of talismans were faintly visible within, compelling one to examine them closely.

Jia Xitong watched it all night, completely absorbed, until the waiter came knocking on the door the next day to ask if she needed breakfast.

Why is it so noisy outside?

Shang Yanting stood at the door and asked.

"They are martial arts practitioners from the seven great families."

The deliveryman replied.

The merchants were wiped out overnight, and Shangmou City was now in complete chaos and in a complex situation.

The seven great families, under the guise of searching for the murderer, were everywhere.

However, investigating the truth was just an excuse; they all wanted to occupy Shangmou City and get a share of the spoils. The influx of martial arts practitioners from powerful families into Shangmou City, coupled with poor security, made the people suffer even more.

"Sir, to be honest, the situation outside is not good. If you don't have urgent business, it's best not to go out these days."

Thank you.

Shang Yanting took the food and closed the door.

According to the doctor, he needs to regulate his spiritual energy and recuperate his body as soon as possible.

For the rest of the time, they didn't leave the restaurant at all.

In addition to the medicine to regulate her body, Shang Yanting ate a variety of fresh fruits, including chicken, duck, fish, and meat, every day.

She doesn't neglect skincare either, applying face cream in the morning and a face mask at night, making her look incredibly refined. Because of Shang Moucheng's special circumstances, these things are very expensive, and she relies entirely on the wealthy and powerful Xiao Fuxiong to support her.

Until the seventh day of staying at the inn

During the meal, Shang Yanting suddenly said, "I'm about to break through."

According to the doctor, once his internal spiritual energy stabilizes, he may regain his sight.

Wow, that's awesome!

Jia Xitong paused in peeling the orange, then took out the new face mask recipe she had just acquired. She crushed the medicine into powder using a stone bowl, mixed it with milk and water to make a paste, and carefully applied it to his face.

Shang Yanting felt the coolness of the ointment, and tilted his head back slightly. "I said I'm about to break through."

He repeated it again.

"I know that making a breakthrough won't stop me from applying a face mask."

Ever since Shang Yanting developed a small rash on his face, Jia Xitong has been extremely meticulous about skincare.

Distracted by Jia Xitong, Shang Yanting's slight worry about not being able to regain his sight disappeared.

Without anyone interfering, his breakthrough was a natural outcome.

His spiritual power returned, and he slowly opened his eyes.

The room was extremely quiet. After a moment, he asked softly, "Is it nighttime?"

"yes."

Jia Xitong nodded.

No wonder I couldn't see it clearly.

Shang Yanting stood up and groped forward, "Light the candle."

Upon hearing this, Jia Xitong looked at the lit candle she was holding in her arms, and then at Shang Yanting's still gloomy eyes.

He did not regain his sight.

"Honey, host, dear..."

Jia Xitong called to him softly, unsure how to tell him the truth.
