After resting in front of the small wooden hut for a while, Xiao Chen decided to head towards Tai Yong City. Spreading out his Divine Sense, he was just about to burrow into the ground when Miao Cuiling unexpectedly swayed her alluring body as she walked towards him with a sweet smile on her face.
"Why did this lass suddenly come here again?" Sensing Miao Cuiling's figure, Xiao Chen frowned as a trace of helplessness appeared on his face. Shaking his head, he bitterly smiled and could only temporarily dismiss the idea of heading towards Tai Yong City.
Quickly entering the small wooden hut, Xiao Chen waved his hand and the few doppelgangers that were cultivating their Spiritual Energy instantly disappeared. Soon after, Xiao Chen sat at the table and pretended to leisurely drink tea.
A gentle and sweet smile appeared on Miao Cuiling's charming face as her jade-like hands played with her silky black hair. Her sexy little mouth hummed a little tune as she gracefully walked towards Xiao Chen's residence.
She was like a fairy that had descended to the mortal world. Her simple and elegant temperament made people want to embrace her and take a light bite of her snow-white skin.
"Eh …" Arriving at Xiao Chen's residence, Miao Cuiling discovered that the door to Xiao Chen's room was still open just like last time. Her sweet smile immediately froze as her shapely eyebrows slightly wrinkled. Curling her lips, she revealed a mischievous expression as she said, "Every time I come, the door is always open. Does he know that I'm coming?"
Without thinking too much, Miao Cuiling gracefully walked into the wooden hut. Her watery eyes immediately spotted Xiao Chen, who was lazily drinking tea. A gentle and sweet smile appeared on her charming face as she lightly smiled and said, "Junior brother Xiao Chen."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen pretended that he had just noticed her and indifferently swept his gaze over her. Seeing Miao Cuiling's alluring figure walk in, she intimately sat beside Xiao Chen. Only then did Xiao Chen casually ask, "Is there something you need?"
"Can't I come to find you if there's nothing?" Rolling her eyes, Miao Cuiling unhappily pouted.
"That's not it." Xiao Chen's face froze for a moment before he smiled embarrassedly and shook his head.
Looking at Xiao Chen's indifferent face, Miao Cuiling chuckled and said, "I'm here today to tell you that I've already registered you for the Palace Gate Competition. When the time comes, you'll be a true disciple of Qinglan Holy Palace. There won't be any problem for you to cultivate the Profound Level Divine Technique. Junior Brother Xiao Chen, you have to work hard."
"Palace competition? What Palace Competition? " Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows. Miao Cuiling was acting on her own again. Xiao Chen felt a burst of depression in his heart, but seeing that Miao Cuiling was doing it for his own good, Xiao Chen could only admit that he was unlucky.
"The Palace Gate Competition is actually a kind of assessment. It assesses the cultivation of the disciples. The higher the cultivation, the more powerful the techniques of the Qinglan Holy Palace can be cultivated. Of course, if you have enough Saint Origin Stones, you can also buy them from the Chamber of Commerce." Miao Cuiling poured a cup of tea and took a sip elegantly. Her beautiful eyes were filled with expectation.
After a pause, her beautiful eyes glanced at Xiao Chen, Miao Cuiling flipped her jade hand and dozens of jade stones emitting a faint golden light appeared on the table. She smiled softly and said, "Although you're not a true disciple of Qinglan Holy Palace yet, you're still half a disciple. These Saint Origin Stones are for your cultivation. These are all High-Rank Saint Origin Stones."
Xiao Chen was startled and a complicated look appeared on his face. He stared in surprise at Miao Cuiling, who had a slightly distressed look on her pretty face. This innocent Senior Sister who always caused trouble for him really wanted to help him. Xiao Chen's heart was filled with warmth and gratitude.
"These Saint Origin Stones are yours, right?" After feeling grateful in his heart, Xiao Chen smiled and pointed to the Saint Origin Stones on the table.
Xiao Chen was not stupid enough to believe that the Qinglan Holy Palace would give him High-Rank Saint Origin Stones for his cultivation. Even Jiang Ming could not get so many High-Rank Saint Origin Stones at once. It would be good if he could get four or five High-Rank Saint Origin Stones a month.
Hearing Xiao Chen's question, her pretty face suddenly stiffened. Being seen through by Xiao Chen made her a little nervous. She quickly waved her hand and shook her head, saying, "No, no, no, this, this is Third, Third Elder gave it to you for your cultivation."
Her distressed appearance was beautiful with a hint of panic. She was like a frightened deer, and people couldn't help but step forward to comfort her.
Seeing the flustered Miao Cuiling, Xiao Chen sighed softly and shook his head. She did not even know how to lie, so how could she deceive Xiao Chen?
Smiling helplessly, Yang Kai said, "You don't have to lie to me. Those old things in the Qinglan Holy Palace will not be so good to me. There are thirty-six High-Rank Saint Origin Stones here. Let alone me, I'm afraid even you can't get so many at once, right?"
Looking at the silent Miao Cuiling who was blushing because her thoughts had been seen through, Yang Kai secretly shook his head and said with a chuckle, "Thank you for the Saint Origin Stones. I owe you a favour."
Hearing this, a touch of joy appeared on Miao Cuiling's slightly shy face. She immediately recovered her sweet smile and said, "Good, then Junior Brother Xiao Chen must work hard in his cultivation."
"Of course." Xiao Chen nodded with a smile. If he did not accept them, Xiao Chen did not know how long this Miao Cuiling, who had inexplicably become his Senior Sister, would make a fuss.
"There are still twenty-four days before the Temple Gate Competition. You must work hard and cultivate well. Senior Sister will not disturb you." After Xiao Chen accepted the Saint Origin Stones, Miao Cuiling ran out happily, her sweet laughter echoing from afar.
Looking at the Saint Origin Stones on the table, Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and said, "This silly girl, these should be what she got in a year. Ai, it's hard to refuse such a beauty's kindness."
After confirming that Miao Cuiling had left, Xiao Chen quickly condensed a few doppelgangers and continued to cultivate his Divine Soul's power. After setting up a four-gate barrier, Xiao Chen used his escape technique and disappeared.
If he had bought more herbs to refine the Spirit Gathering Powder last time, Xiao Chen would not have gone to Tai Yong City this time. This round trip would have taken about two hours.
However, Xiao Chen planned to buy all the herbs needed to refine a second-grade pill this time. This way, he would not have to waste time going to Tai Yong City multiple times.
"The effects of the Spirit Gathering Powder are very strong. If I can create a first-grade or second-grade pill with the same effects as the Spirit Gathering Powder, my cultivation speed will be even faster in the future. Moreover, it will be of great help to Qing 'er and the others in the future. Since the Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Pill and the Ancient Great Revitalizing Pill can do it, the Spirit Gathering Powder should be able to do it as well. The most important ingredient of the Spirit Gathering Powder is the Seven Leaf Spirit Gathering Grass. If I can find herbs with the same effects as the Seven Leaf Spirit Gathering Grass, I believe I can definitely refine it." While using his escape technique, Xiao Chen's lips curled into a smile as he thought to himself.
Six days later, Xiao Chen returned to the same middle-sized medicine store.
The moment the shopkeeper saw Xiao Chen, his deep eyes clearly lit up. He respectfully welcomed Xiao Chen in, not daring to slight him in the slightest.
"Many thanks for coming again, little brother. May I know what kind of herbs little brother needs this time? This old man will definitely do his best to prepare them for you. "The shopkeeper revealed a brilliant smile on his aged face.
"The herbs needed to refine a second-grade pill, shopkeeper, can you even find them? I see that you're only selling some low-grade herbs. " Xiao Chen was taken aback when he saw the confident shopkeeper with a bright smile on his face. He asked tentatively, "What is it?"
Hearing the words' herbs for a second-grade pill ', the smile on the shopkeeper's aged face deepened. Soon after, he revealed a hint of pride and said, "To be honest, this old man's medicine store belongs to a small branch of Tai Yong City's Sacred Cloud Chamber of Commerce. The lady boss behind this old man is the head auctioneer of the Sacred Cloud Chamber of Commerce. Because there are too many herbs, we've allocated some low-grade herbs to this small branch. There are four such small branches in Tai Yong City."
"Sacred Cloud Chamber of Commerce?" Raising his eyebrows, Xiao Chen's face suddenly revealed a hint of astonishment. However, thinking about how large the Sacred Realm was, it wasn't strange for there to be a chamber of commerce. After all, there were auctions in the God Realm.
"That's right. If little brother needs help, this old man can introduce the lady boss to you." The shopkeeper nodded and smiled.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded. It just so happened that Xiao Chen was looking for a herb that was more powerful than the Seven-leaf Spirit Gathering Grass. The Sacred Cloud Chamber of Commerce was undoubtedly the best place. A smile appeared on his face as he indifferently said, "Then I'll have to trouble the shopkeeper. Shopkeeper, help me prepare the herbs for the Spirit Gathering Powder. I need five sets."
Since he was about to become a second-grade alchemist, Xiao Chen needed to prepare the herbs in advance. When the time came, it would save him the trouble of running around.
In a short moment, the shopkeeper had prepared all the herbs that Xiao Chen needed. After the transaction, he instructed a shop assistant to look after the shop while the old man personally brought Xiao Chen to the Sacred Cloud Chamber of Commerce.
The Sacred Cloud Chamber of Commerce was quite famous in the vicinity. Various large and small forces, as well as rogue cultivators, would choose to visit the Sacred Cloud Chamber of Commerce. This was also the reason why Tai Yong City was so prosperous.
Along the way, the shopkeeper introduced the Sacred Cloud Chamber of Commerce to Xiao Chen, as well as the two small clans in Tai Yong City. These three forces formed a tripartite balance of power in Tai Yong City.
However, Xiao Chen wasn't interested in these things. He was only interested in the herbs that he wanted.
The Sacred Cloud Chamber of Commerce was located in the center of Tai Yong City. It occupied a relatively large area, and the buildings were even more magnificent and imposing. Compared to it, the other buildings in Tai Yong City were simply overshadowed.
The shopkeeper only brought Xiao Chen to the Sacred Cloud Chamber of Commerce. After a simple conversation with the guards of the chamber of commerce, one of the guards led Xiao Chen into the Sacred Cloud Chamber of Commerce.
The Sacred Cloud Chamber of Commerce in the Sacred World was different from the Divine World. The chamber of commerce didn't display all kinds of herbs, magic treasures, pills, cultivation techniques, and other treasures. Instead, it only had a huge auction house and many guest rooms for receiving VIPs.
After Xiao Chen entered the Sacred Cloud Chamber of Commerce, the guard and a maid handed him over. A beautiful maid wearing a cheongsam respectfully led Xiao Chen into the guest room. Obviously, he was a VIPs.
"Please wait a moment. This servant will go and invite the auctioneer over." The maid poured a cup of tea for Xiao Chen. Her beautiful face revealed a sweet smile as she respectfully said this. Soon after, she left the guest room.
Not long after, a beautiful woman wearing a black cheongsam gracefully entered the guest room. Her long hair was tied up, and her beautiful face carried a faint charm. Her sexy red lips curled up into an enchanting smile. Step by step, she walked over. As she swayed, her slender waist was extremely sexy. Her delicate body released a faint fragrance that made one feel relaxed and happy. Her proud bosom revealed her snow-white skin, making it hard for one to shift their gaze away. She was simply as beautiful as a fairy.
Even with Xiao Chen's strong mental fortitude, he was still stunned by her beauty.
