A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

The next day, Liu Qingxia went to work as usual.

After seeing Liu Qingxia off, Chen Yang sat down and suddenly felt like a stay-at-home dad... His wife worked outside to support the family, while he was responsible for being "beautiful" at home.

He couldn't help but smile. This kind of life was not bad. However, if he wanted to enjoy it in peace, he had to deal with the Ma family first!

Chen Yang took a deep breath, sat up straight, crossed his legs and began to practice breathing exercises, continuing to study the Diamond Sutra.

He discovered that his cultivation speed for this technique was much faster than before!

After a moment's thought, Chen Yang immediately understood... it must be because of the significant increase in his mental strength, which made even his cultivation techniques twice as effective!

He stopped paying attention to what was happening outside and devoted himself entirely to cultivation.

The city lord's mansion, which he had been worried about, had been unusually quiet lately.

Inside the study of the city lord's mansion.

Xiao Fan knelt on the ground, trembling all over... not because of fear, but because of extreme anger!

He couldn't understand who was so audacious as to not only publicly humiliate him at the banquet, but also sweep away all the spirit stones, cultivation techniques, pills, and magical artifacts he had painstakingly collected from his secret chamber!

Across from him, Xiao Daoyun stood with his hands behind his back, looking out the window. His face was so gloomy it could drip water, and his eyes gleamed with a ferocious light.

"Father! This matter must be thoroughly investigated!" Xiao Fan gritted his teeth. "He looks down on the City Lord's Mansion and on you! Humiliating me is one thing, stealing my things is another, but this is the City Lord's Mansion! He did these things openly, clearly showing he doesn't respect you!"

"Shut up! You don't know anything!"

Xiao Daoyun turned his head sharply, his voice cold as he rebuked, his eyes narrowing to slits: "If it were just stealing or humiliating you, that would be fine. What I fear is that the other party is deliberately trying to put me in a bad light!"

He snorted coldly, his tone grave: "The plan has reached a critical stage. If it's discovered, it's a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of your family!"

Xiao Fan was taken aback, then retorted, "Father, you hold absolute power in Qingzhou City. Apart from you, the highest level anyone else can reach is the Blood Exchange Realm. Who would dare to doubt you?"

"In Qingzhou City, I truly hold the reins, and I fear no one causing trouble," Xiao Daoyun said in a deep voice. "But what about outsiders? What about people from the capital?"

He stared at Xiao Fan: "So from now on, you better behave yourself and don't provoke the Liu family!"

Xiao Fan was indignant and gritted his teeth, saying, "This can't be left like this! I have a feeling that the person who stole my things and humiliated me is 100% related to Liu Qingxia! I was targeting her at that banquet, but the cloak was suddenly switched, and she was there the whole time. It must have been someone she brought who did this!"

"So many elders of the Liu family have died, and the strongest, Liu Honggang, is still unconscious. Right now, all they have left to hold things together are three women! We can use this as an excuse to capture the rest of the Liu family!"

"Bang!"

Xiao Daoyun stepped forward and kicked Xiao Fan, sending him flying more than ten meters away. He angrily shouted, "Xiao Fan! You've disappointed me greatly! I sent you to deal with the Liu family so that you could marry a woman from the Liu family and then smoothly take control of the family!"

"But what about you? Your mind is filled with lust for women! Right now, you're not trying to control the Liu family, you're just after that woman, Liu Qingxia! What good are you? A man who can't even resist women will never amount to anything!"

Xiao Fan got up, knowing his father was truly angry, and quickly explained, "Father, I don't necessarily want Liu Qingxia. Although she is indeed beautiful and I really like her, I still want to cooperate with your plan to bring the Liu family under our control!"

"The main problem is that the Liu family has no one to rely on right now; they're just a weak sheep. Why don't we devour them?"

"You know nothing!" Xiao Daoyun interrupted coldly. "The Liu family is weak now, but don't forget what kind of relationship the Liu family has with the Su family in the capital. The three Liu sisters are, in a sense, the granddaughters of the Su family!"

"Despite the bad relationship, using such despicable methods against Liu Qingxia will likely attract the attention of the Su family! If the Su family really orchestrated this banquet, then we're in serious trouble!"

He stared at Xiao Fan: "From now on, you'd better stay put!"

Upon hearing the words "Su family," Xiao Fan froze instantly, then realized that the matter was of utmost importance. He could only kneel on the ground, wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and swallow his anger.

Xiao Daoyun walked to his side and patted his head: "Remember, a man who wants to achieve great things must be able to endure! From now on, cultivate the Soul Refining Technique diligently. Once you've mastered it to a minor degree, I'll use special methods to forcibly enhance your strength!"

"If a man is powerful enough, what woman can't he get?"

Xiao Fan instantly became excited and nodded repeatedly, "Okay! Father, I understand! You've finally agreed to help me quickly improve my strength! I'll go back to cultivate now!"

Xiao Daoyun nodded: "Go. I need to consider the Liu family's matter carefully and observe it secretly. If it really is the Su family involved, then we will have to give up this piece of fat meat, the Liu family."

On the other hand, Chen Yang and Liu Qingxia lived a peaceful and sweet life.

Every day when Liu Qingxia returned from the mine, she would bring Chen Yang some delicious food. After the two ate and drank, Liu Qingxia would take a relaxing bath, and Chen Yang had long been accustomed to admiring his wife's beautiful body... However, he could only look but not touch, which was still somewhat of a regret.

Three days later, the morning sky was filled with rosy clouds.

Chen Yang was completely immersed in the deduction and practice of the Vajra Prajna Skill when a notification sound suddenly rang in his mind:

[Ding! The host has mastered the Diamond Sutra and reached the beginner level!]

Looking at the prompt, Chen Yang was so excited he almost cried... This "Diamond Prajna Skill" is indeed the most difficult to cultivate!

If I hadn't used the "Demon Refining and Soul Forging Technique" to boost my mental strength several times over, it would probably have taken at least another week to reach the beginner level!

He eagerly opened the system, and another notification popped up:

[Ding! Do you wish to consume 200 spirit stones to upgrade the Vajra Prajna Technique to the Lesser Completion stage?]

Chen Yang stared at the "200 spirit stones" and his eyelids twitched wildly... 200 spirit stones was only the minor completion stage. How much would it cost to upgrade to the perfect and ultimate level?

He counted on his fingers, then gave a bitter laugh in frustration… It actually costs 3000 spirit stones! This cultivation technique is way too expensive!

Chen Yang sighed helplessly, "I'm short of money!"

He glanced at his account balance; he only had 200 spirit stones left.

However, Chen Yang did not hesitate at all and immediately chose to "upgrade"!

[Ding! Consuming 200 spirit stones, your "Diamond Sutra Technique" has reached the minor completion stage!]

In an instant, Chen Yang felt a burning sensation in his abdomen, followed by a surge of warmth that rushed through his abdomen and into his entire body's meridians, muscles, and bones!

Wherever the warm current reaches, there is first a stinging pain, then it feels like being burned by flames, and then it brings a gentle nourishment, as if the cells are broken down and reassembled, the blood is boiled and then sprinkled with cool dew!

Three minutes later, with a "whoosh" sound, Chen Yang clearly felt his blood circulation speed increase and the energy in his blood become more powerful!

He jumped up suddenly and was pleasantly surprised to find that... his strength had already reached the second level of the Blood Exchange Realm!

Chen Yang was incredibly excited!

Simply by raising the Vajra Prajna Kung Fu to the minor mastery stage, I have already transcended a realm!

He knew very well that after reaching the Blood Exchange Realm, each subsequent realm would be a difficult hurdle!

The Vajra Prajna Skill can not only enhance talent and make physical fitness grow exponentially, but also promote rapid breakthroughs in strength and realm while improving the skill level!

With this in mind, Chen Yang was even more eager to elevate this technique to its perfect and ultimate level!

He sat down and pondered: the best way to gather 3000 spirit stones in a short time is to participate in the auction!

The only things he could auction off were those he had obtained from Xiao Fan.

Chen Yang took out all the items he could auction from his storage ring: three low-grade magic artifacts, two spirit-guiding pills... These were worth at most a few hundred spirit stones.

After thinking for a moment, he took out the fragments of the "Demon Refining and Soul Forging Technique" and the "Green Wood Technique" that he had obtained from Xiao Fan.

Both the "Green Wood Technique" and the "Demon Refining and Soul Forging Technique" are top-tier techniques, and their value is immeasurable!

The reason why the three major families in Qingzhou City were able to rise to prominence is that each family possesses a set of top-quality cultivation techniques!

If these two techniques were put up for auction now, they should be worth a lot of money... Although neither of them are combat-related, and the "Demon Refining and Soul Forging Technique" is still an incomplete scroll, its quality speaks for itself!

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yang simply added a simple sequel to the incomplete "Demon Refining and Soul Forging Technique" to create a simplified version of the Soul Refining Technique.

He looked at what was in front of him and muttered, "It doesn't seem like enough..."

Suddenly, Chen Yang's eyes lit up, and he excitedly stood up: "How could I have forgotten about the Ma family!"

Now that he has reached the second level of the Blood Exchange Realm, and with the Qingfeng Sword and the Soul-Destroying Bell, two mid-grade magic weapons, as well as the heaven-defying martial skill "Seven Steps Netherworld Slash", killing the elder of the Ma family should not be a problem!

"It's time to harvest that fat sheep from the Ma family!"

Without further hesitation, Chen Yang immediately changed into his gear and left the Liu family residence.

He first went to the auction house, found Meng Shuang, and instructed her: "From now on, spread the word widely: This evening, the Tianbao Pavilion Auction House will have a large number of weapons, cultivation techniques, and pills for sale, especially a large number of precious medicinal herbs. Please prepare your spirit stones and attend on time! Remember, this auction can only be conducted with spirit stones!"

After giving Meng Shuang his instructions, Chen Yang quietly headed to the Ma family's medicinal herb garden.

Of the three major families in Qingzhou City, the Liu family is most famous for its mining industry, while the Ma family survives on medicinal herbs.
