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

Seeing the price of 500 spirit stones, Chen Yang was both tempted and frustrated.

What's appealing is that the starting price of 500 spirit stones means this cultivation technique is very powerful, far exceeding my expectations; but what's frustrating is that I only have 200 spirit stones left, not to mention upgrading this technique to Perfect Supreme, I can't even upgrade it to Minor Chengdu.

At this stage, Chen Yang is only at the beginner level and can barely conceal his aura.

As for the other effects of this technique, Chen Yang had no idea.

Chen Yang shook his head slightly and sighed – he was still short of money!

He sat down and counted on his fingers. He realized that there really weren't any spirit stones left to be found in the entire Qingzhou City.

Of the original three major families, the spirit stones from the Ma and Qin families were already in their own pockets; as for the Liu family, they were too embarrassed to steal them.

Xiao Daoyun was a good person, contributing so many spirit stones and cultivation techniques to me, but I can't count on him now, since he even contributed his body to increase my spiritual power.

As for the independent cultivators in the city, they all used their spirit stones to buy houses, medicinal herbs, and elixirs.

Chen Yang sighed slightly. If he wanted to continue improving, he would have to go to a larger city. Fortunately, he had laid a solid foundation in Qingzhou City. With his current strength, even if he went to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, he wouldn't be someone to be slaughtered at will.

While Chen Yang was still thinking, a cheer erupted outside.

Chen Yang walked towards the door and saw the Liu family's guards and servants excitedly discussing and cheering.

Chen Yang turned to the guards not far away and asked, "What happened?"

Upon seeing Chen Yang, the guard dared not show the slightest disrespect. He immediately bowed deeply and said, "Reporting to the young master, the second young lady is returning! I heard that things at the mine went very smoothly, so everyone in the family will receive a reward!"

Hearing this, Chen Yang felt relieved.

Sure enough, not long after, a chestnut-red horse trotted into the Liu residence.

On horseback sat a slender, beautiful woman with a touch of aloofness.

The person who arrived was Liu Qingxia.

Liu Qingxia rode her horse straight to her small courtyard. When she arrived at the gate, she dismounted and quickly walked inside.

Chen Yang was sitting in the courtyard when he saw Liu Qingxia. He immediately waved and said with a smile, "Wife, you're back!"

Liu Qingxia blushed slightly at first, then chuckled and stepped forward, asking, "Which wife are you talking about? Did you think your first wife had returned?"

Chen Yang, wearing sunglasses, simply smiled and said, "Although I can't see, I can tell you're a beautiful woman just by smelling you. Besides, I wouldn't dare joke like that with your older sister. Also, she's gone and may never come back."

Liu Qingxia had intended to continue exchanging a few more jokes with Chen Yang, but upon hearing his words, she paused, looked at him in astonishment, and then frowned, saying, "Where did my older sister go? Why didn't she tell me?"

Chen Yang shook his head and said, "She probably didn't tell anyone in the family. I overheard her conversation with a strange woman by chance. They were going to a very far place, supposedly the Central Continent, and they really wouldn't be coming back."

Liu Qingxia stood there stunned for a full three seconds before letting out a soft sigh and saying, "It seems that my eldest sister has ultimately chosen her own path. Perhaps she has some great opportunity. She had mentioned the Central Continent to me before, and even hinted that she would take me with her, but later she changed her mind and stopped talking about it. However, I have two very powerful cultivation techniques, both given to me by my eldest sister. She has already done so much for this family, and I hope everything goes well for her in the future."

Liu Qingxia lifted her long legs and walked towards her room.

Only then did Chen Yang realize that the "Seven Steps Netherworld Slash" and "Diamond Prajna Skill" in Liu Qingxia's hands were both given to him by Liu Zhichun.

That explains it. After all, Liu Zhichun has an old master, so it's understandable that he could provide any kind of training method.

Chen Yang followed Liu Qingxia into her boudoir.

Liu Qingxia took off her long robe as if no one else was around, untied the ribbon around her hair, and let her hair fall down, still slightly dusty.

Liu Qingxia breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It's finally over! I've been busy for almost half a month, I feel like I'm going to stink."

Chen Yang chuckled, sniffing the air, and said, "No, it just smells amazing, even better than before!"

Liu Qingxia spat and said, "Do you have a dog's nose?! Does that mean the stinkiest thing smells better?"

Chen Yang continued sniffing, then said, "I can smell the wonderful scent of spirit stones! My wife, could you lend me some more? I desperately need them!"

Liu Qingxia turned to look at Chen Yang in surprise and couldn't help but ask, "You're a blind man who stays at home all day, and now you're the city lord, how come you're so short of spirit stones?"

Chen Yang laughed and said, "Don't worry about that, hurry up and give it to me, lend it all to me! I promise I'll pay you back double later!"

Liu Qingxia laughed and said, "Alright, alright! I didn't really need these spirit stones anyway. This time, after completing the Qing Iron Mine mining mission, Liu Tong gave me another 2000 spirit stones. Next, I just need to transport those 10 tons of refined iron ore to the capital. After arriving at the palace, I'll get an extra 2000! The palace is really generous with the money for missions they issue!"

As Liu Qingxia spoke, she took out a wooden box from under her clothes and placed it in front of Chen Yang.

Pretending to be blind, Chen Yang groped around with his hands and opened the wooden box. The box contained a rich concentration of spiritual energy—2000 spirit stones!

Chen Yang was initially all smiles, but then he sighed softly.

Liu Qingxia looked at Chen Yang strangely and said, "What's wrong? You're not happy about getting spirit stones? Your wife worked hard to mine them!"

After saying this, Liu Qingxia couldn't help but blush again. She suddenly realized that without realizing it, she had actually taken the initiative to admit that she was Chen Yang's wife, and could even refer to herself as "wife".

Both of them noticed the change in how they addressed each other, but they tacitly avoided mentioning it to prevent either of them from feeling awkward or embarrassed.

Chen Yang was touched and said to Liu Qingxia, "Of course I know you've worked hard! Although it's still a bit short, thank you very much, my wife!"

Liu Qingxia pouted and said, "You really are a money pit! I don't know what you need so many spirit stones for? Oh, right, wait for me! I remember our Liu family still has some leftover spirit stones; I'll go get them for you!"

Chen Yang's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Thank you so much, my lady!"

Liu Qingxia pursed her lips, grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on, then left the courtyard.

Chen Yang couldn't help but chuckle and rub his hands together.

The way he interacted with Liu Qingxia was completely different from how he interacted with Liu Zhichun.

After all, he and Liu Qingxia were already quite familiar with each other, and they had gone through the chaos of the Otherworldly Demons, faced life-or-death trials, and experienced the warmth of living together day and night. Therefore, Chen Yang was much more relaxed.

Even though they have already consummated their marriage twice, Chen Yang is still not as relaxed around his first wife, Liu Zhichun.

Soon, Liu Qingxia arrived at the warehouse.

Outside the warehouse, two elders of the Liu family saw Liu Qingxia return and immediately stood up to greet her with smiles.

"Qingxia, you've worked hard!"

"Qingxia, have you gone to see your grandfather? He's awake now and is still talking about you!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingxia smiled with joy, but then felt a pang of self-reproach: How could she have forgotten about her unconscious grandfather? She went to find Chen Yang as soon as she got back; how could she have been so unfilial!

Liu Qingxia immediately cupped her hands and said, "Elders, I will go see my grandfather in a moment. Also, I've come to the storeroom to fetch some spirit stones."

The two elders didn't ask any further questions, after all, Liu Qingxia's strength was above theirs.

Previously, when Liu Honggang was in a coma, it was Liu Zhichun and Liu Qingxia who managed the Liu family's business. In their hearts, whether it was Liu Honggang or the three Liu sisters, they were all the patriarchs of the Liu family.

The two elders opened the door to the storeroom.

Liu Qingxia went inside and went straight to the jade box where spirit stones were stored.

She opened it and saw that there were 1400 spirit stones inside.

Liu Qingxia waved her hand and took 1000 yuan.

Looking at the remaining 400 spirit stones, she thought for a moment, then reached out and put all 400 spirit stones into her pocket.

She closed the box, turned and left the warehouse, heading straight for Liu Honggang's yard.

The two elders guarding the warehouse watched Liu Qingxia's departing figure with satisfaction, then went into the warehouse to conduct a search.

They discovered that all the spirit stones in the warehouse had been taken by Liu Qingxia.

The two old men exchanged a strange look.

"Why did Qingxia take all the spirit stones? Doesn't she want to buy something important?"

"Yes, that must be it! This second young lady has always been very opinionated!"

"Spirit stones are very hard to come by. The Second Miss took them all this time, so they must be very useful to her."

"Absolutely! The Second Miss is taking so much money at once, she can't possibly be using it to support a man, hahaha."

"The second young lady is becoming more and more mature."

Both elders expressed their heartfelt emotions.
