Fairy, don't be afraid, I, Wang Daqi, am truly an honest man.

Wang Daqi smiled憨厚ly: "Senior Sister, you're too kind. I'm happy that you've made a breakthrough. But... I wonder what the 'Azure Water Golden Eyes' will be like as you cultivate it further?"

He now also possesses the Azure Eyes and Golden Eyes, so I need to get to know him better.

Shen Ruyan was in a great mood at the moment, and since Wang Daqi already knew about it, she had no intention of hiding it.

She stood up, straightening her slightly disheveled long skirt, and explained with a hint of pride:

"My Shen family's Azure Water Golden Eyes are a top-tier auxiliary physique even in the entire cultivation world. It is divided into five realms..."

Shen Ruyan gave a brief explanation.

Wang Daqi was secretly alarmed upon hearing this.

So there are five realms!

Having learned all this, he roughly knew which direction he should take in his cultivation next.

"Alright, I should go now. You should hand over the spirit fields here in advance. Later, go to the Foreign Affairs Hall with Xu Yan to complete the procedures for relocating to Lingyun Peak."

"Once you arrive there, you can focus on your spiritual practice."

Shen Ruyan gave Wang Daqi a deep look, then turned and left.

As soon as she left, Xu Yan hurriedly went inside.

"My wife."

Seeing that Wang Daqi's face was rosy and he didn't look exhausted, Xu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you alright last night?"

Wang Daqi patted his chest: "What could possibly be wrong with me?"

"Look at you, so confident! I bet you've fallen for your senior sister, haven't you?"

Xu Yan's tone was sarcastic.

She considered herself inferior to Shen Ruyan in both social status and appearance.

Now that Wang Daqi has Shen Ruyan, will he no longer like his wife who has shared his hardships?

Although Wang Daqi is honest and simple, that doesn't mean he's stupid.

He noticed the sorrow in Xu Yan's eyes and quickly pulled her into his arms.

"My wife, you are my legal wife. I love you. How could I possibly love Senior Sister Shen?"

"Really?" Xu Yan looked up at Wang Daqi, who had a simple and honest face, and felt a sweet joy in her heart, as if she had eaten honey.

"Of course it's true."

Wang Daqi kissed Xu Yan and said with a smile, "Let's pack our things and move to Lingyun Peak this afternoon. Then Chen Liang won't be able to bully us anymore!"

"Okay, I'll get ready right away."

…………

…………

…………

That afternoon.

Wang Daqi then went to the deacon's office, took out his mission token, and formally handed over the spirit field he had taken excellent care of.

The task of looking after the Moonflower has yielded 500 Spirit Sand!

1000 spirit sands are equal to 1 genuine spirit stone.

He spent a full month taking care of the moonflower.

This shows how much profit was involved in this task.

Afterwards, Wang Daqi and Xu Yan rushed to the sect's external affairs hall without stopping.

The process of moving to Lingyun Peak went surprisingly smoothly. When he received the identity token engraved with the words "Lingyun Peak", Wang Daqi was filled with emotion.

From that moment on, he was no longer the Lingnong who could be bullied by everyone.

…………

In the Nine Provinces Continent, the Misty Sect is a major power at the Nascent Soul level.

It owns six major peaks!

These six peaks compete with each other, and the higher the ranking, the more cultivation resources one can obtain.

Lingyun Peak is the second largest peak!

Xu Yan used to cultivate on Lingyun Peak. On the way there, Xu Yan chatted with everyone about what she had seen and heard on Lingyun Peak!

In summary, the spiritual energy there is much stronger, and the conditions are better.

The moment Wang Daqi stepped into Lingyun Peak, he was stunned by the sight before him.

Compared to the desolate Lingtian, which is full of the fragrance of soil, this place is shrouded in mist and the cries of cranes can be heard.

The path beneath our feet is paved with neat bluestone slabs, and outer disciples in brocade robes occasionally hurry past on both sides.

"As expected of Lingyun Peak, ranked second." Wang Daqi thought to himself, tightening his grip on Xu Yan's hand.

However, this aspiration was soon dampened by the harsh reality.

When they arrived at the Lingyunfeng residence registration office, Wang Daqi gasped at the rent sign hanging on the wall.

"Single room, one genuine spirit stone per month; double room with kitchen, three genuine spirit stones per month; independent courtyard, starting from ten spirit stones per month..."

Wang Daqi counted on his fingers, his face turning somewhat pale.

A genuine spirit stone costs 1,000 spirit sands, while they only earn 500 after a month of hard work in the spirit fields.

Even the worst room here can't be stayed in for half a month.

"Wow, this is amazing, it's way too expensive."

Xu Yan muttered softly, her eyes full of unease, "Most of the outer disciples live in large communal dormitories, or... how about we go and ask if there are any separate dormitories for men and women? We can save every penny we can, you'll need to buy pills for your cultivation later. Once we're more capable and have saved up enough, we can move out."

Wang Daqi felt a pang of pity for his wife, who was willing to suffer in order to save money.

"No need, I still have some spirit stones on me. Let's... stay in a single room for one genuine spirit stone a month."

Wang Daqi pondered that his cultivation had increased, and he also possessed the trump card of Azure Water Golden Eyes.

The speed at which you can earn spirit stones will be even faster in the future!

Furthermore, I still have fifty spirit stones on hand, which is enough for now.

"Rent a single room? Well... that works too. I'll go to the mission hall later, and we can earn spirit stones together." Xu Yan gripped Wang Daqi's arm tightly and nodded vigorously.

After discussing it with Xu Yan, Wang Daqi felt more confident.

He was secretly delighted.

He remarked that he was truly lucky to have married Xu Yan.

After all, these days, which wife is so good, so considerate of her husband and so willing to save him money?

"Is this Junior Brother Wang Daqi?"

Just then, a middle-aged man dressed in a manager's uniform walked over, with a friendly smile on his face, and even a hint of respect.

Wang Daqi was taken aback, then cupped his hands and said, "Indeed, may I ask what instructions you have for me, Manager?"

The steward chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "I wouldn't presume to offer guidance. Senior Sister Shen Ruyan had already instructed us that an old friend would be visiting the mountain today. She has arranged a private residence for the two of you, called Qingfeng Garden, which is located halfway up the mountain from her own cave. As for the rent, Senior Sister Shen has already paid a year's rent in advance."

"What? A year's rent???"

Xu Yan exclaimed in surprise.

She naturally understood places like Qingfeng Garden.

The location was excellent; it was a three-room terraced house with a cooking area in the back.

The rent is at least five spirit stones a month!

That's sixty genuine spirit stones a year!

Shen Ruyan is being far too generous.

Xu Yan immediately realized that the reason for this was probably for Wang Daqi's sake.

After all, that place is close to where my senior sister lives. In the future, they won't need to cross the mountain to get there; it will only be a few steps away!

Wang Daqi was also very clear-headed.

He knew that this was Shen Ruyan's way of advancing her Azure Water Golden Eyes.

Let alone a room, even if Shen Ruyan rented an entire cave to Wang Daqi, she probably wouldn't even blink an eye.

"This... Senior Sister Shen is truly kind-hearted."

Wang Daqi feigned surprise and turned to Xu Yan to comfort her, "Wife, since it's from my senior sister, it would be awkward if we didn't accept it. I'll repay her properly when I'm successful in the future."

Xu Yan nodded vigorously, thinking that it would be even better if she didn't have to pay the rent herself!

"Alright, I'll take you there." The steward nodded with a smile. He guessed that the reason Senior Sister Shen was taking such good care of this couple must be because of Xu Yan.

Before being expelled from the inner sect, Xu Yan was quite close to Senior Sister Shen!

But he was still a little curious. There were quite a few junior brothers and sisters who were close to Senior Sister Shen, so why was she so good to Xu Yan?

…………

…………

At the summit of Lingyun Peak, inside the Hanyu Palace.

The air here isn't as cold as its name suggests.

Instead, it was filled with a suffocating heat.

As soon as Shen Ruyan stepped into the main hall, a wave of scorching heat hit her, and the white jade pillars around her seemed to distort slightly under the high temperature.

She had to immediately activate her newly mastered "Azure Water Golden Eyes," and the world before her eyes was instantly shrouded in a faint blue-gold hue.

Only then could one see clearly the figure sitting cross-legged in the center of the hall.

That was her master, a powerful figure from Lingyun Peak, a Nascent Soul cultivator, Nangong Ling.

At this moment, Nangong Ling's originally cold and beautiful face was flushed with an eerie blush.

The crimson spiritual energy around his body surged wildly, like a runaway fire dragon rampaging through his body.

"Master!" Shen Ruyan's heart tightened, and she subconsciously wanted to step forward.

"Don't come any closer..." Nangong Ling's voice was hoarse as his right hand trembled as he took out a crystal-clear "Ice and Snow Soul-Condensing Pill" from his bosom and swallowed it.

After a short while, the violent fire-type spiritual energy gradually subsided.

The temperature inside the hall gradually decreased.

Nangong Ling let out a long sigh, his once sharp eyes now revealing deep weariness.

"Still can't suppress it?" Shen Ruyan looked at her master, feeling a pang of sorrow in her heart.

She knew that this was the root of the trouble left by her master's forced attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in his early years.

The fire-elemental spiritual root was damaged, causing the spiritual power to frequently backfire.

It's like having a volcano buried inside your body that could erupt at any moment.

Over the years, Master has relied on various ice-type elixirs to prolong his life, but ultimately it's only a temporary fix.

At this moment, Wang Daqi's image involuntarily appeared in Shen Ruyan's mind.

The incomplete scroll about bloodline constitution mentioned that if one could obtain the original nourishment of the "Supreme Yang Body", there was a certain chance that the hidden injury to the spiritual root could be cured.

Even depleted vitality can be rekindled.

It is especially effective for female cultivators!!

"If... if Master knew about Daqi's physique, and then Master cultivated with Daqi..."
