Gan Xiuming blushed with embarrassment.
Tu Longjian glanced at the sarcastic Ye Yuchun, not wanting to pay her any attention, and instead launched into the main event.
She interrupted Ye Yuchun's incessant chatter, looked at Gan Xiuming with tenderness, and then uttered a thunderous remark.
"Although the Golden Soul Pearl was destroyed, I was incredibly lucky to find a Celestial Immortal Herb."
Gan Xiuming's heart was pounding, his chest heaving with each rapid breath, and his eyes bulging with anticipation.
Tu Longjian leaned closer to his ear and gently parted her red lips:
"Flame Dragon Qili".
Flame... Flame Dragon Qili?!
Gan Xiuming's eyes were filled with shock.
Yanlong Qili is a celestial herb that perfectly matches his spiritual root attributes. Although its grade is not comparable to that of a spiritual treasure, it is extremely rare and mostly grows in extremely harsh environments.
To other cultivators, it might just be an ordinary tonic, but to him, with his Heavenly Spiritual Root, it was an excellent tonic!
It can not only allow cultivators with Heavenly Spiritual Roots to instantly leap several minor realms in their cultivation, but also strengthen their spiritual root attributes.
His Heavenly Spiritual Root is actually the Heavenly Metal Spiritual Root, a variant of the Metal Spiritual Root. These special spiritual herbs and immortal plants can help him deepen his Heavenly Attribute abilities.
If one encounters a suitable method, their combat power will directly double.
If taken multiple times, it may even lead to a glimpse of the laws of nature, such as the laws of time!
Gan Xiuming excitedly grabbed Tu Longjian's hand, applying a little force. Tu Longjian feigned a weak groan before Gan Xiuming realized what was happening.
Gan Xiuming quickly let go and gently massaged her wrist, saying in a warm tone:
"May I have a look at this magical herb?"
He wanted to personally confirm whether it was Yanlong Qili.
Tu Longjian glanced at Ye Yuchun, then playfully patted his chest and said:
"Come to my room tonight and you'll find out."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yuchun's expression changed drastically, her look becoming strange and conflicted.
Gan Xiuming withdrew his eager gaze, put on a smile, and warmly saw her out.
As soon as he returned to the room, the room full of spirit stones caught Tu Longjian's eye.
This is……?
Poonana stepped forward from behind her, cleared her throat, and said:
"You're quite brave. Although I don't need your protection, I still admire your courage."
"This is the reward for finding you back then. Now that you've come back on your own, you can have it all."
"Here are 20,000 spirit stones, two magic weapons, and two Foundation Establishment Pills. They're all for you."
"Well, thank you."
"Oh, and also, I've seen through that guy's true colors. I don't want him anymore, so don't worry."
Tu Longjian raised an eyebrow in surprise, and Peng Nana actually lowered her proud head.
She shook her head, her tone indifferent: "No need. I had no special reason for standing in front of you, so there's no need to thank me or compensate me."
"Foundation Establishment Pills are so precious, and spirit stones are equivalent to several years' income for an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. Fellow Daoist Peng, you should keep them for yourself."
Poonana was a little angry. It was the first time she had been rejected for offering money and gifts. She frowned and said angrily:
"Foundation Building Pills aren't that precious to me. My mother is a high-level alchemist. She said she'd give them to you, so take them."
Advanced alchemist? Tu Longjian recalled the various pills he had obtained from the fallen cultivators, and a thought struck him.
"Fellow Daoist Peng, do you have any books or manuals on elixirs? I am willing to exchange them for magical artifacts."
Poonana asked, somewhat puzzled, "Are you interested in alchemy?"
Without a second thought, Tu Longjian readily agreed.
Whether she's interested in it later or not, this is a good excuse.
Since Peng Nana was so kind as to express her gratitude, she couldn't refuse too much, but there was no need to accept her spirit stones.
She happened to want to identify what kind of pills she had stuffed into her modern space, so she might as well take this opportunity to exchange them.
Peng Nana rummaged through the gorgeous storage bag and found several brand-new books, including "Introduction to Alchemy", "Complete Guide to Elixir Identification", "Complete Guide to Spirit Herb Identification", and "Basic Common Sense of Alchemy", which she gave to Tu Longjian.
“My mother wanted me to learn alchemy in my early years and gave me a lot of books, but I have no interest in alchemy. You can have them all.”
Tu Longjian took out a magical artifact he had obtained earlier and made a deal with it.
After doing all this, Tu Longjian was finally able to go back inside to rest.
She sat cross-legged on the bed, reflecting on what she had gained over the past few days.
First, Gan Xiuming's progress reached 40%, successfully unlocking the walk-in closet and kitchen in the modern space.
Then, Gan Xiuming's lotus of fortune turned to ashes, destroying Fang Milu and Peng Nana's goodwill towards Gan Xiuming. The two women left Long Aotian's side, and she successfully changed Long Aotian's fate, absorbing about one-third of his fortune.
Finally, there are the rewards from the secret realm.
Master the elements of ice and snow, obtain the essence of snow, comprehend the art of ice needle attacks, and meet Shi Zixue.
He mastered the golden spiritual energy and obtained the Golden Soul Pearl (which was destroyed when he broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm).
Obtain the offensive spirit weapon—[Divine Dream Gale Halberd], and master the fire spirit energy.
They obtained the ice-type cultivation manual, "The Flowing Light and Flying Snow Spirit Scripture".
Obtain the array treasure—[Clear Breeze and Frost Array Flag].
Having obtained the [Heartbreak Grass] which resembled the Flame Dragon Qi Li, and consuming its fruit, his meridians doubled in size.
In the final space, there was also some snow python flesh and skin, several magic and spiritual artifacts, and several bottles of unknown pills.
It was a very fruitful experience.
Most importantly, she has broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm!
Tu Longjian's mood brightened slightly as she quietly awaited Gan Xiuming's arrival; she still had one more powerful remedy to administer.
The moon is bright and the stars are few; the night is cool and still.
Gan Xiuming stood at the door of Tu Longjian's room, somewhat nervous.
He was excited about the immortal herb [Yanlong Qili] during the day, but now, standing in front of the beauty's door, he realized the ambiguity in his tone. His throat bobbed and his face turned red.
Tu Longjian keenly sensed Gan Xiuming's arrival and got up to open the door to greet him.
The actors are in place, and the show is about to begin.
However, she also sensed a furtive figure peering into the courtyard; it was Ye Yuchun.
I don't know what this woman's purpose is; it's either for money or for sex, but I always feel there's something strange about her.
Ye Yuchun saw Gan Xiuming being welcomed into the house, the door closing and the room filled with ambiguity and fragrance.
She squatted in the shadows of a corner, cracking sunflower seeds, her ears perked up.
Although eavesdropping is tasteless, gossiping is human nature, so you can't blame her. After all, Bai Tianchunxiang's words were so ambiguous, making people's imaginations run wild.
Gan Xiuming and Tu Longjian sat facing each other, their throats dry.
Tu Longjian smiled slightly, opened an exquisite wooden box, and the golden light emitted by the immortal herb illuminated the entire room.
Gan Xiuming regained his senses, but then fell into a frenzy again.
With trembling hands, he picked up the (fake) Flame Dragon Qili and examined it closely.
That's right, this is Yanlong Qili!
He was immediately captivated by it and played with it for a long time.
Tu Longjian was very considerate and served Gan Xiuming a cup of tea. Gan Xiuming took the cup with one hand, reluctant to put down the herb.
Seeing this, Tu Longjian said with great kindness, "This immortal herb will be given to Xiuming."
