The next day, when Nan Qu went to class, she caused quite a stir. Yesterday, she hadn't even begun to cultivate internal energy, but today they couldn't even see her cultivation level.

"Hey, did you use some special thing to hide the fact that you don't have any cultivation yet?"

My name isn't "Hey," it's...

Uh, I've gone off-topic.

However, Nan Qu really didn't want to bother with such a rude child. Just then, the supervisor arrived. Nan Qu returned to her seat.

The supervisor had just entered when he saw the student who was giving him a major headache.

To his surprise, this sight astonished him: "You've mastered Qi cultivation? And you're already at the third level?"

Nan Qu stood up and bowed respectfully: "Reporting to the supervisor, I was fortunate enough to learn from others yesterday that my cultivation has improved."

The supervisor was delighted: "Great! I knew you shouldn't have been unable to develop your qualifications for so long. That's excellent. Sit down. Let's continue the lesson."

The supervisor was very happy, but the other students sitting below were not so happy.

They never imagined that the former last place would now become the first.

Those who study here are all outer disciples; inner disciples are personally taught by their masters and do not need to come here.

Apart from the unlucky original owner, the others who didn't enter the outer sect were all due to average or even poor aptitude.

Take her little partner, the poop-scooping boy, for example. He's a pseudo-spiritual root with four spiritual roots.

Currently, his cultivation level is only at the first level of Qi Refining. The others have only just struggled to reach the second level.

They naturally envied the inner disciples, but because they were too far away, they could only admire them from afar. Nan Qu, on the other hand, was right in front of them, and had even been less accomplished than them before. This comparison stirred a sense of jealousy within these children.

Nan Qu didn't have time to care about the thoughts of these little brats. She was a child herself.

Moreover, there are too many shrewd people here, and the Time-Space Beast has said that gods exist here. She's already exhausted from trying so hard to act childish to avoid being exposed to outsiders, and she really doesn't want to coax children anymore.

Besides, someone at the third level of Qi Refining can go down the mountain to the town below and have fun. Why should she waste her energy on them?

So, after telling her supervisor, Nanqu swaggered down the mountain.

The small town at the foot of the mountain was the territory of the Xuanjian Sect. There were patrols inside the city gate. Moreover, standing atop the high city gate, observing the surrounding situation, was none other than her nominal master.

It's safe to say this place is really safe. You don't have to worry about being robbed or murdered.

Of course, once you leave this place, your life or death is up to fate, and the Xuanjian Sect will not be responsible.

Nanqu's purpose in going down the mountain today is to buy some good wine. Of course, it would be great if he could also find some other bargains.

Back in the modern world, she remembered that her father-in-law was very unhappy with the belt she had bought for him. So, when she went to Beijing for the New Year, she planned to bring some wine back with her.

This is, after all, the cultivation world. Even ordinary wine here is full of spiritual energy, much better than in other places.

Can ordinary wine be sold in the cultivation world?

Oh, and tea too, I'll buy some more as gifts.

Lin Yaqing once loved even the simplest handkerchiefs she embroidered; now that she's practically at the wholesale market, she naturally wants to buy some to take home.

Nan Qu hadn't expected the spirit stone to be so worthwhile. One low-grade spirit stone bought five jars of wine. And they were the large jars.

One hundred of those small jars can be bought for one low-grade spirit stone.

Nanqu doesn't know much about wine, so he just bought some from each brand.

Fortunately, the Southern Music Hall has a large space, otherwise it really wouldn't have been able to fit it all.

Nanqu knew about tea; compared to those teas imbued with spiritual energy, these ordinary high-grade teas were quite cheap. Nanqu had no silver, so she could only spend a low-grade spirit stone to buy a large quantity.

It looks like we won't lack gifts for at least the next ten years.

I bought several handkerchiefs and scarves for Lin Yaqing.

It's not that she doesn't want to buy clothes, but rather that all the clothes here are religious robes, and she doesn't dare to buy them.

Having just left the clothing store, Nanqu curiously went into the Buddhist artifact shop next door.

"Young Miss? What brings you here?"

Nan Qu looked up and remembered that this person was the original owner's housekeeper, who was responsible for checking the goods and bills at various shops every month.

This shop belongs to the Dongfang family, and today is the day the housekeeper comes to check the accounts.

"Didn't my father tell you that I'm now a disciple of the Xuanjian Sect?"

Upon hearing this, the butler's face immediately lit up with a smile: "Oh my, Miss has really entered the Xuanjian Sect! That's wonderful, wonderful! Miss has truly brought honor to the Dongfang family."

The butler grew up with the head of the Dongfang family since childhood and also watched the original owner of this body grow up.

He doted on the original owner of this body. Therefore, upon hearing that she had joined the Xuanjian Sect, he was genuinely happy for her.

Then Nanqu deliberately said, "What's there to be happy about? I'm just an outer disciple. Besides, there are always people who bully me. Butler, I came here to buy a weapon for self-defense."

Upon hearing that someone had bullied his young mistress, the butler couldn't hold back any longer: "Which blind fool dares to bully our young mistress?" The butler was about to suggest avenging her, but then remembered that it was the Xuanjian Sect. No matter how powerful the Dongfang family was, they didn't have the strength to challenge the Xuanjian Sect. So he had to change his story:

"Young Miss, have you been wronged? It's better not to be an outer disciple. Why don't you come home with me?"

Nan Qu mimicked Dongfang Shuanglan's tone, saying, "No way! I came here today to sell magical artifacts for self-protection. Once I leave, I'll beat those who bullied me to a pulp!"

Upon hearing this, the butler immediately replied, "Alright, then I'll give our store's prized possession to Miss. If anyone dares to be so disrespectful, Miss, feel free to beat them up. Our Dongfang family can afford to compensate."

Nan Qu said with a black line: "What do I need the store's treasure for? Never mind, Uncle Butler, you go about your business, I'll decide what I want myself. Just have someone follow me."

The butler chuckled upon hearing this: "Alright then, Miss, please feel free to tell me if you need anything in the future."

After saying that, the butler turned to someone next to him and said, "Follow the young lady, and just give her whatever she wants."

"yes!"

Nan Qu surveyed the area and then asked, "Do you have any jewelry here that can nourish the body and also provide some self-defense benefits?"

The attendant glanced at Nan Qu, then said, "Yes."

Although he was suspicious of why the young lady wanted something so cheap, the attendant still obeyed and went to get it.

Nan Qu looked at the tray filled with a dozen or so jade pendants of various sizes and nodded with satisfaction: "Pack them all up for me. Make sure the boxes are nice."

Although he wanted to say that the box was more valuable than the jade pendant, she was a young lady, and the whole shop belonged to her. Why should he say anything?

"yes!"
