If Jia Xitong had a physical form, her expression at this moment would probably be unfathomable.

The naive host was unaware of the system's wealth. Considering that the system had bought her materials, Jia Xitong decided to give him a surprise on the day she picked up the supplies.

However, for the rest of the time, the fake system and its host stayed in the inn every day—poor people don't deserve to go out, they can only cultivate in the inn.

here we go again.

The male protagonist experienced that special feeling again while he was cultivating.

The register was opened automatically once again, and its contents were once again synchronized into Jia Xitong's mind.

These past few days, aside from basic food, drink, lodging, and transportation, Shang Yanting has spent all his time cultivating.

The Cultivation Source Technique is different from ordinary cultivation methods.

Other martial arts techniques begin with internal energy cultivation, and true qi can only be cultivated at the Martial Realm level. However, the Cultivation Source Technique starts directly with true qi. Since his foundation was rebuilt, Shang Yanting has turned misfortune into blessing, and even his potential is better than before he was crippled.

Exceptional comprehension and a foundation that is rare even in a millennium.

Retracing the path of cultivation, which would take others a year or even several years to progress from the early stage to the middle stage of Martial Apprentice, he reached it in just a few days.

Jia Xitong inexplicably felt her soul power become more solid, and was passively carried away.

However, she still doesn't understand the benefits of being carried along.

The tenth day of making talismans with materials

The owner of the paper and ink shop was already waiting in the same spot.

The thousands of sheets of white paper displayed in the shop were inconspicuous, but the talismans made from the Dark Jade Grass had a pleasant fragrance.

Jia Xitong's soul-controlling raccoon happily examined the batch of talismans and ink.

The shopkeeper glanced at the strange-looking and behaving little beast, carefully avoided it, and bowed to Shang Yanting. "Young master, the Dark Mace Mystic Grass Paper and the Wenyao Fish Blood Ink are all here. Could you please wait a moment? The remaining two types of paper and ink will be brought down to you shortly."

"good."

Shang Yanting sat to the side waiting when an uninvited guest suddenly appeared.

"Shopkeeper, how much paper do you have? Could you please pack it up for me?"

A clear, cold female voice came from behind; she was referring to Jia Xitong's hidden weapon, the Xuancao Paper.

Someone is trying to steal my paper?

Jia Xitong looked at her.

"Excuse me, these papers belong to this young master."

The shopkeeper quickly offered an explanation.

Upon hearing this, the woman turned her gaze to Shang Yanting, "Young master, I wonder if you would sell me these papers?"

"No."

"I'll pay double the price."

"Feel sorry."

The woman frowned slightly as she was repeatedly given the cold shoulder.

"How dare you!"

At this moment, the maid next to her stepped forward and said, "My young lady is Xie Ziyan, the daughter of a divine physician. Where did you come from, you country bumpkin? Don't be so ungrateful."

who?

Hsieh Tzu-yen!

Upon hearing this name, Jia Xitong perked up completely.

The host's first harem member is Xie Ziyan, the daughter of a divine physician.

In the original story, when the male protagonist arrived in Zhaocheng, he was penniless and extremely destitute. Where would he get the money to find a divine doctor to treat his illness?

Later, it was because his daughter fell in love with the male lead that the divine doctor discovered the male lead had an excellent foundation and extremely high talent. He only helped treat him because he was looking for a promising son-in-law.

However, Xie Ziyan's looks are only average among the beauties in the male lead's harem, and her personality and abilities are not outstanding either. In addition, the male lead's relationship with her is somewhat forced. Most fans have a lukewarm impression of Xie Ziyan.

Jia Xitong is one of these fans.

Although she didn't have a very high opinion of Xie Ziyan, she was really looking forward to the sex scenes. The original author, that old fox, never disappoints readers when it comes to sex.

Her attention fell on Xie Ziyan's face.

With an oval face and willow-leaf eyebrows, her appearance can only be described as above average.

With her expensive clothes, she could barely be called a woman of refined taste.

A woman with a refined and elegant demeanor is still a beauty!

Moreover, she is the daughter of a legendary healer and a supporting female character in the story.

Surely the host wouldn't sell out her authority for personal gain, handing over her materials just to please the beauty?

She was so scared.

"Ruyi, you must not be rude."

Xie Ziyan bowed to Shang Yanting with the air of a well-bred young lady, saying, "As the saying goes, a gentleman does not take what others love. I apologize, sir."

After saying this, she took her maid and prepared to leave.

Jia Xitong felt a little relieved.

However, before the two had even stepped out the door, they ran into the shopkeeper who was bringing down paper and ink made from the Unfixed Secret Herb and the Unfixed Silver Fish Fins.

Although Xie Ziyan's abilities were mediocre, she had grown up surrounded by medicinal herbs and had an extremely keen sense of smell. Even just passing by, she could detect the unique qualities of rare and precious herbs.

She turned around to ask the shopkeeper how much the item cost, but before she knew it, the shopkeeper was back in front of the young man.

"Young Master!"

Xie Ziyan turned around and stopped Shang Yanting, "Are these still yours? I'm willing to pay a high price to buy them."

Not again?!

The raccoon's fur stood on end when it heard this.

Shang Yanting glanced at the magical beast at his feet. "Sorry, none of them are for sale."

"I'll offer five hundred taels of silver."

"One thousand taels"

"Ten thousand taels!"

What if the male lead can't resist her charms?!

Jia Xitong manipulated the raccoon to hug his leg, "Host, kiss!"

She was afraid that his stance wasn't firm enough.

Shang Yanting looked at the raccoon at his feet, reached out and picked it up from the ground. "Sorry, I said I wouldn't sell it, no matter how much."

Not everything can be bought with money.

Xie Ziyan wanted to say something, but when she looked up, she was startled by his dark eyes and involuntarily took a step back. However, when she looked at him again, his expression was only somewhat indifferent, and he seemed very polite.
