The first level of lightning tribulation usually consists of three to nine heavenly tribulations. Qin Bao'er was struck nine times, and in each of these tribulations, a golden core condensed in her dantian.
"You've formed your core just like that?" Qin Bao'er was still a little incredulous.
She thought it would be difficult, but to her surprise, it was like a huge pie falling from the sky and landing right in her mouth. She had heard that many people who had just formed their Golden Core found their Golden Core unstable.
However, her golden core showed no such signs.
Qin Bao'er looked at Fang Ruotang with admiration.
"Sect Master Fang, thank you."
"It's nothing!"
Fang Ruotang felt that she hadn't done anything.
But seeing Qin Bao'er leap up and dance with excitement, it was clearly something to be very happy about.
Having entered the Golden Core stage, she finally possessed some strength, and her lifespan had reached five or six hundred years. Now she could cultivate in peace without having to be so tense every day.
"I really don't know what good food Mengxi City has. I'll send someone to inquire when I get back. But the auction house in Mengxi City is huge, with all sorts of good things inside. Every cultivator who comes and goes will go in for a look. Do you want to go and have a look?"
"An auction house? Sure! I'll go check it out." Fang Ruotang wanted to join in on any excitement.
“The auction house belongs to my family, I’ll give you a 10% discount.”
Don't underestimate this 10% discount. Anything that goes on auction is never cheap, and many treasures are put up for auction by the sellers themselves, which means the auction house doesn't take a cut of the profit.
"Great! Would you like another one? I see you really like them." Fang Ruotang generously grabbed another handful to share with her new friend.
This thing, the little mirror, has some kind of space in its hand, inside which are all kinds of trees, and the trees bear many, many fruits.
Some trees were as red as fire, some as white as snow, and some were covered in frost. They were all strange and wonderful. Moreover, she discovered that the stranger the tree, the tastier the fruit it produced.
Qin Bao'er blushed and took all the fruit from Fang Ruotang's hand, saying awkwardly, "Then... if you see anything you like at the auction, just tell me, and I'll buy it for you."
"real?"
"Um!"
Fang Shengtang and the others, who had just been frowning, relaxed considerably upon seeing that Qin Bao'er wasn't the type to take advantage of others. After all, they were newcomers, and making more friends was definitely a good thing.
"Ahem!" Su Muwen's gentle smile concealed a hint of embarrassment as he asked, "I wonder if the master could bestow upon me a fruit? I would like to see what kind of fruit it is. This bottle contains the Ice Heart Pill that I have refined. It can protect the mind and resist evil thoughts, and it is especially useful in places like the Misty Forest."
Fang Ruotang took the Ice Heart Pill and gave Su Mu a fruit.
She chewed on the fruit, her big eyes gazing at them curiously.
"You seem quite interested in the fruit I'm eating. Don't you usually have fruit to eat?"
Su Mu held it in his hand and smelled it. He felt that the spiritual energy was very abundant, but it didn't seem to be spiritual energy. Could it be...?
"Where did you get this fruit?"
"Hmm, I heard from a friend that it was brought to me from the celestial realm or the divine realm, where children love to eat these."
Fang Ruotang was frank, and Qin Bao'er and Su Mu's groups were completely stunned.
What!
Does this person have connections?
That's not right! The ascension channel to their plane has been cut off long ago, and no one has ascended for over two thousand years. Could it be that their plane is...
When was the last time you ascended to heaven?
"What ascension? We live in a mortal city, there's no such thing as ascension there."
Qin Bao'er and Su Mu didn't believe it.
Fang Ruotang seemed to be speaking in a mysterious and cryptic way, clearly a hidden master.
Gu Yanjin and his group, seeing the two groups' self-righteous guesses, felt a lump in their throats, finding it difficult to speak.
Forget it, let them misunderstand!
After leaving the Misty Forest and arriving in Dream Creek City, the lively and bustling sounds immediately reached my ears.
Fang Ruotang and her group entered the city, their big eyes looking around curiously.
“This is no different from our Great Yong.” She whispered to Gu Yanjin.
Even though the sound was faint, everyone in the group was a cultivator, so they could all hear it.
Su Mu and Qin Bao'er twitched their ears and silently memorized the name "Da Yong," thinking that they would go there in the future to see if the people there were as mysterious and powerful as Fang Ruotang.
Perhaps there are opportunities there that the Cloud Deep Continent lacks.
"Young Clan Leader, Senior Brother, you're back!" A young-looking man skipped up, his eyes shining as he asked, "Young Clan Leader, you've reached Core Formation?"
Qin Bao'er nodded with a proud yet reserved air.
"Young clan leader, you are truly amazing! You've reached the Core Formation stage at such a young age. You are the pride of our entire clan!" The young man's expression was exaggerated, which Qin Bao'er found very pleasing.
"Young clan leader, you were away for two days this time. Did you have any extraordinary encounters? Tell me about it."
Qin Bao'er curled her lips, clearly wanting to laugh, but pretending to be the young clan leader's dignity, and deliberately lowered her voice to say, "I'll tell you about this later. This group of people are my new friends. This is Fang Ruotang, the sect leader of Tianyi Sect, and this is Su Mu, a disciple of Medicine King Valley."
"Sect Master Fang, Senior Brother Su, my name is Qin Fen. Welcome to Mengxi City. My eldest brother just sent word back to explain the situation. The rooms have been prepared. Would you like to rest or take a stroll around the city?"
Qin Bao'er looked at Fang Ruotang.
Fang Ruotang wasn't tired. She looked at the others, and they weren't tired either. After all, they had just come from the mortal world to the cultivation world, and this was the first city they had entered. At a time like this, who could sleep?
“This is our first time in Mengxi City, and we’d like to look around. Young Master Qin has just reached the Core Formation stage, so he’s probably busy. Why don’t you go ahead with your work? You can just assign someone to be our guide. If we have any questions, we can ask him.” Cui Shixu was not only handsome but also had a gentle demeanor.
In the past, when he went out with Gu Yanjin and Gu Nancheng, he was responsible for being the one to talk. Gu Yanjin didn't like to talk, and Gu Nancheng never spoke properly.
Qin Bao'er hesitated for a moment. She wanted to accompany him herself, but then she remembered that her father already knew about her Core Formation and was waiting for her to return home. She also wanted to talk to her father about Fang Ruotang.
"Qin Fen, accompany them for a walk around the city. If this Sect Master Fang takes a fancy to anything, just put it on my tab. Treat him well; he is my honored guest."
Qin Fen was a little surprised, as he knew this cousin.
She was exceptionally talented and was highly regarded by her clan at a young age. However, because of this, she was not very good at social etiquette and only focused on cultivation. This was the first time I had ever seen her so generously entertain a friend.
"Yes, young clan leader."
As soon as Qin Bao'er and Situ Han left with the Qin family members, Qin Fen came up with a grin to inquire about the situation.
"Sect Leader Fang, when did you meet our young clan leader? Why has the young clan leader never mentioned your name before?"
