Princess Wuxi turned around with a dark face and looked at the instigator, Sister Xi'er: "What's wrong with me, the Left Protector?"

"Nothing much, just had a blast." Sister Xi'er stepped forward with a big smile, broke Su Yan's spirit stone in half, and picked out a piece of paper with red writing on it from the bottom of the spirit stone.

The note read: "Fellow Daoist, I am offering you thirty catties of spirit stones to borrow thirty years of your lifespan."

The spirit stone that Su Yan chiseled open was actually a medium for the spells used by the Nightmare Suppression Sect.

As long as someone picks up a spirit stone from the ground, the life-borrowing spell of the Nightmare Town will be activated. Because the spirit stone is essentially a paper contract, once the spell is activated, the person who touches the spirit stone will be unable to defend or resist.

The reason why other cultivators dared not touch the spirit stone medium used as a contract was placed in front of them.

No one knew how much of their lifespan these thirty catties of spirit stones would cost, so no one dared to pick them up.

However, this wicked man was unlucky enough to run into Sister Xi'er.

The techniques of possession and seizure are among the most advanced in the entire cultivation world, as demonstrated by the Nightmare Town Sect in the Central Region.

Su Yan's chisel strike directly shattered the life-borrowing technique of the Nightmare Suppressor. The backlash caused the Nightmare Suppressor's lifespan to be returned tenfold to Su Yan.

Of course, the method of borrowing life does not mean that you can actually get as much life as you borrow; there is a great loss in the process of transferring life.

The person who borrowed the thirty-year lifespan from the Nightmare Suppression might only have received about ten years of lifespan in reality, with nearly half of their lifespan being lost during the transmission process.

"I"

Lying in Princess Wuxi's arms, Su Yan tremblingly raised her little fox paw and looked at Sister Xi'er, saying, "I...I want to do it again."

Whether his cultivation level increases or not is secondary; Su Yan has never experienced such a comfortable feeling before.

It was as if his essence and marrow had been cleansed out of thin air, making Su Yan feel that his physique had become stronger, which was really satisfying.

"Go! Go! Go"

Sister Xi waved her hand and complained, "Such an honest Nightmare Suppressor is not common. If you want to play again, you may have to find another honest Nightmare Suppressor."

Life-borrowing spells are not uncommon, and this school of thought still has a considerable market in a certain sense. They often sell life force and lifespan to the upper echelons of the cultivation world.

But it is rare to borrow thirty years of lifespan at once.

The life-borrowing spell also carries risks; if a cultivator breaks the spell, the user will have to relinquish the lifespan stipulated in the contract.

Moreover, if the lifespan of the person whose life is being borrowed is insufficient, the caster himself must also give up his own lifespan to fill the gap.

The life-borrowing spell only lends life for three to five years; it's rare to find someone honest enough to borrow for thirty years.

If the practitioner encounters a fellow practitioner, such as Sister Xi'er, who picks up a hammer and chisel and strikes directly, the practitioner will immediately receive a massive gold coin bonus and a tenfold return of lifespan.

If the Unborn Emperor were here, a single strike of her hammer could wipe out the caster's entire lifespan from a distance.

That's why Sister Xi praised the wicked sorcerer who used the life-borrowing spell for being honest and straightforward.

With a lifespan of thirty years, such a huge risk, how dare you be so greedy as to continue writing? Aren't you afraid that your peers or other factions' Nightmare Suppression followers will cause trouble for you?

"Princess, shall we go for another stroll?"

After regaining his mobility, Su Yan looked at Princess Wuxi and said:

"This is really interesting. With just one strike, I felt my cultivation and physique both increase. Why not take advantage of nature's bounty? I noticed that other cultivators seem quite accustomed to the Life-Borrowing Spell. There must be a lot of spirit stones to collect in this city!"

"Whatever you want!"

Faced with Su Yan's explanation, Princess Wuxi agreed without much thought.

Sister Xi'er is different from Su Yan.

The former only knows how to freeload and gossip all over the streets, but Su Yan is the kind of person who can be taken away to start a business. The princess naturally has a very tolerant attitude towards Su Yan and treats him as an investment.

Chapter 320 Preparing for the Return Trip

Faced with Su Yan's request, Princess Wuxi did not refuse. She turned around and led Su Yan to the Wanhua Pavilion in the mixed city, where she found the madam of the Wanhua Pavilion, took out a handful of spirit stones, and gave her a task.

Find all the life-borrowing mediums in the cities, have the spies and assassins of the Myriad Flowers Pavilion protect them, and take them to the scene afterward to investigate.

With a single word and action, Princess Wuxi took all the girls of the Wanhua Pavilion, who lived in the city, into her care, and mobilized them all to find a life-sustaining medium for Su Yan.

"Alright, let your kitchen staff serve the dishes!"

Princess Wuxi waved her hand, gesturing for the madam of Wanhua Pavilion to go to the kitchen and prepare some specialty dishes.

The princess is a typical pragmatist. Wasting time searching for a medium is clearly not her style. If something can be solved with spirit stones, there is no need to waste her time and energy on trivial matters.

"We'll have tea and a meal here. I'm sure the spies from Wanhua Pavilion will soon have searched the entire city." Princess Wuxi picked up the teapot, filled the teacups of Su Yan, Sister Xi'er, and Di Chi with tea, and after taking a sip, slowly said:

"Little fox, remember this: the Myriad Flowers Pavilion is an organization backed by the Myriad Flowers Valley of the Demonic Sect. When you are out of town and do not have suitable connections, whether you want to find an assassin or a negotiating broker, you can get things done at the Myriad Flowers Pavilion by spending some spirit stones."

"Wanhua Valley's business reputation is still trustworthy."

Sister Xi'er lay listlessly on the table, looking at Princess Wuxi with a completely bored expression.

Am I in a hurry to find some medium? Little Fox and I are looking for a medium that the Nightmare Town followers deliberately abandoned while we're exploring the city—that would be a surprise! A little gift we find while we're having fun!

"You're such a boring fox, utterly boring!" Sister Xi stared at Princess Wuxi with displeasure.

However, Princess Wuxi pretended not to see it, raised her hand and placed the teapot on the courtesan's tray beside her, and gestured for her to fetch another pot of tea.

The courtesan, kneeling beside Princess Wuxi, smiled brightly and took out a spiritual spring from her storage bracelet. She placed it in a jade teapot, embraced the teapot, and used her own rising body temperature to brew a pot of fragrant tea for Princess Wuxi.

"Master, what temperature of fragrant tea would you prefer? Wan Hua Ge recommends that the temperature of flower tea be around 80 degrees Celsius."

"Just follow your experience." Princess Wuxi took out the reward silver and threw it to the courtesan. After seeing the fist-sized spirit stone fall into her arms, the courtesan's bright smile became even sweeter, and her favorability rating was almost full.

She had never seen such a heroic and dashing female warrior. She was not only beautiful and dashing, but also very generous. She was much richer than the residents of the border regions. Even the top courtesan of the Wan Hua Pavilion, who was also a woman, was almost intoxicated by the tyranny of the princess's bottomless storage ring.

After having dinner at Wanhua Pavilion, Su Yan reached out his hand as he was about to leave, asking the girls there to prepare food for about five people so he could take it back to Xiaolongnu as a late-night snack.

As for the life-borrowing medium, Wan Hua Ge has launched a full investigation and will give Su Yan an answer tomorrow, guaranteeing that the results will satisfy all the employers.

As she spoke, a rather strange smile appeared on the madam's face, as if she had thought of something happy.

Princess Wuxi paid the spies on a per-case basis, and the madam of Wanhua Pavilion happened to know the location of the group of Nightmare Suppressors.

The girls have already started their arrest. If they can't produce a hundred life-saving mediums by tomorrow, the madam thinks she should resign from her position as manager and just make money elsewhere.

If you can't even grasp such a way to make money, what kind of manager are you to be? Don't let all the girls starve to death!

........................

After bringing the midnight snack back from the city, Su Yan searched the dormitory but couldn't find Xiaolongnu. Quite puzzled, he put the food on the table and took a shower in the bathroom before the princess returned.

The Little Dragon Girl was so frightened by the Moon Rabbits' antics this morning that she was afraid they would call her to dinner again tonight. So she deliberately hid herself, not wanting the Moon Rabbits to find her.

"I'm full, it's your turn to eat."

Su Yan came out of the bathroom and sat on the bed. He took out a jar from his storage ring. The jar contained the damaged spiritual weapon, the God-Slaying Whip. Su Yan took out two hundred catties of spirit stones from his storage ring and threw them into the jar.

When the spirit stone came into contact with the liquid in the jar, it immediately turned into a mist of spiritual energy that lingered in the jar, allowing the Divine Whip artifact to absorb it and use it to restore its damaged artifact spirit.

To repair the God-Slaying Whip to its current state, according to the cultivators of the Weapon Sect, it would require at least 200,000 catties of spirit stones.

Su Yan didn't care. A powerful and handy spiritual weapon was hard to come by, so he was willing to pay whatever it cost. It was still better than the lecherous longsword that the princess had given him.

After doing all this, Su Yan began to meditate and practice the 'Dragon Pearl Condensation Method' by breathing in spiritual energy.

"huhuhuhu"

However, it was all for naught. When the Lord of the Night visited Su Yan's dormitory, Su Yan, who was cultivating, unknowingly fell asleep like a log and lay down on the bed to snore.

"Have I been coming too often?"

The Lord of Night sat by the bed, watching Su Yan, who was clearly cultivating but had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Oh"

The Lord of Night chuckled and shook his head.

Whether the visits are frequent or not is not the key point. It's because the fox in front of me has such a rich daily life that every time I come here, I feel like I'm disturbing Su Yan's daily life.

Su Yan might feel dissatisfied, but the Lord of the Night doesn't care. With Empress Dowager Su still sleeping, he should wake up in a year or two. Su Yan should just put up with this for now!

........................

The restoration of the Moon Rabbit tribe's territory is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Su Yan didn't roam freely all over the mountains. In his spare time, he would go to the Moon Rabbit Chief's house to watch the Moon Rabbits treat the patients brought in by the brokers. Most of the patients who came to the Moon Rabbit tribe for medical treatment had their own tragic stories.

It's not just missing an arm or a leg; at the very least, some internal organs might be missing.

Monsters that are attacked by poachers are generally believed to have aphrodisiac, kidney-tonifying, and blood-nourishing effects.

During the viewing, Su Yan would occasionally receive food from the Moon Rabbit sisters. In addition, with the spirit stone mining and blind box opening event in the mixed city, Su Yan's cultivation level could increase even while lying down in the Moon Rabbit territory.

Su Yan had never experienced such a comfortable life before, and finally got to experience the daily life of the rich.

The Moon Rabbits are truly wealthy. Brokers frequently bring patients to them, and each patient's treatment fee starts at least at twenty to thirty thousand catties of spirit stones.

There's no such thing as credit among the Moon Rabbits. If you don't settle your bill, you can't even leave the door. Huge amounts of spirit stones are transferred from the patients' pockets to the Moon Rabbits' pockets.

This is all cash; there's no need to pay taxes or hold inventory. Seeing the wealth of the Moon Rabbit Clan made Su Yan want to learn alchemy and medicine making.

In addition to the business with the brokers, the Moon Rabbit also contracted part of the elixir business in the eastern states through the Pride Insect Clan.

In the eastern state, where alchemy technology was underdeveloped, the main producers of pills and ointments were the two sects, Falling Star City, where Moon Rabbit and Golden Scale resided, which served as suppliers.

But happy times always pass quickly. Su Yan ran to the Moon Rabbit Clan Chief's house, looking longingly at the Moon Rabbit Clan's older sisters, preparing to ask for more ointment to treat his impending breakthrough to the Golden Core stage.

Sister Xi found Su Yan and said she was going home.

Su Yan and Princess Wuxi, two foxes, watched as Sister Xi'er's face fell, revealing an expression that showed she didn't want to go home.

"It's no use for you to think like that. This is how the itinerary is arranged. After visiting the Moon Rabbit Clan, I still have some matters to attend to at the Xuan King's Mansion!"

Sister Xi picked up the two little foxes who didn't want to go home, one in each hand:

"If you have any objections to the itinerary, feel free to complain to His Majesty! I haven't had enough fun yet and don't want to go home right now!"

The three foxes, one big and two small, sighed in unison, each with their own reasons for being dissatisfied.
