Chapter 99

Spring goes and autumn comes, time flies like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, a year passed.

On Kuliu Peak, there was an oddly shaped building, looking like an ancient castle, and also like a palace.

But whether it was the materials or the decoration, it was indescribably luxurious and extravagant!

Around the palace, the originally barren hills also had patches of medicine fields.

The fifth owner of Kuliu Peak, Xiao Hei, a third-grade Wind-Riding Dog, frolicked happily in the medicine fields, stopping from time to time, lifting its hind hooves, and squirting out a water arrow.

At this moment, a dazzling breakthrough spiritual aura fluctuation suddenly shot up from a corner of the palace, straight into the clouds!

It lasted for dozens of breaths before stopping.

Then the door opened, and Heng Xian, who had grown half a head taller, shook his wet clothes and walked to a bronze mirror, gesturing:

"Qi Sea Realm Sixth Level! Nearly 1.8 meters tall, this young man is damn handsome!"

In a year's time, with cave rent and the "Heaven Doesn't Care" venue, he earned quite a few spirit crystals, and the house was finally built!

It's just that the breakthrough was not as fast as imagined; almost eating pills as meals, he only improved by five small realms!

The "Ziwei Eight Desolations Sword God Dao" had not yet been officially practiced; the best time calculated by him and the "Xuanhuang Heavenly Hexagram" was tonight.

"Junior Brother, Uncle-Master Liu is looking for you... Wow! Congratulations, you broke through again!"

Senior Sister Ye Batian, who had become fair-skinned and beautiful, flew over from afar.

With the "economic recovery" of Kuliu Peak, spirit crystals were more than the day before, and from the mountain peak to people and dogs, everything was upgraded, looking brand new.

Master Nangong Liluo changed from drinking small local brews worth two medium-quality spirit crystals a bottle to Tianyuan fine wines worth ninety-nine medium-quality spirit crystals a bottle.

Senior Brother Ma Xiaohua managed the "Heaven Doesn't Care" venue, became wealthy and imposing, and had steadily improved to the Qi Sea Realm Seventh Level.

And Senior Sister Ye Batian, at the peak of the Qi Sea Realm Ninth Level, was about to sit in a life-and-death retreat to break through to the Primordial Dan Realm. Last month, she regained the 100th position on the Earth Ranking. If nothing goes wrong, she can sprint to the top 90 of the Earth Ranking before breaking through.

And after having spirit crystals, the freckles on her face were gone, and she became beautiful. Every frown and smile had an excellent temperament, and even a little bit of charm. This is what a daughter of a great clan and an imperial princess should look like.

However, all three were shocked speechless by Heng Xian breaking through five levels in a year.

After all, breaking through in the Qi Sea Realm is not a joke. For normal disciples, breaking through one or two levels a year is a blessing from heaven.

Five levels only appear on those monsters and holy bodies on the Heaven Ranking.

No! Junior Brother is also a holy body monster!

"Amazing!" Ye Batian circled around Heng Xian, "You topped me and Xiaohua for ten years in one year, and you grew up so handsome, it's really unreasonable!"

Heng Xian was already used to her way of chatting, rubbed his nose: "So, what is Uncle-Master Liu looking for me for?"

Ye Batian patted her forehead and said: "Oh, Uncle-Master Liu said she hasn't seen you for a long time and wants to talk to you about the profit sharing of 'Heaven Doesn't Care'!"

"Okay, the shareholder is here to ask for money!" Heng Xian turned back to the room, "I'll go after changing clothes."

The "Merit Award Hall" is located on Qianyuan Peak.

On the road, there were not only disciples of this peak but also more disciples from other peaks coming to receive sect rewards or exchange for some miscellaneous items.

The main currency circulating within the Tianyuan Sect includes not only spirit crystals but also "Merit Points."

Spirit crystals are for private transactions or for enjoyment; the sect certainly cannot be so mercenary!

Therefore, when disciples do things for the sect, they will receive "Merit Points," which are usually used to exchange for cultivation techniques, pills, spirit weapons, time in closed-door secret realms, etc.

The closer to the "Merit Award Hall," the more people there were, and finally, they lined up in two long rows.

Ye Xiaoyao and Bai Ziqi were in the queue, standing one in front of the other.

In a year's time, Ye Xiaoyao had successfully broken through to the Condensing Qi Fourth Tier. This cultivation is neither high nor low. As a dual spirit root, he can only be considered medium talent among inner sect disciples.

He was here this time to exchange for a pair of "Spirit-Insulating Gloves" to help his master handle pill materials.

At this time, looking at the long queue, he said: "Senior Brother Bai, as a direct disciple, can't you just go in?"

Bai Ziqi shook his head and said: "The sect has rules. In the major halls of Merit, Classics, Pills, and Artifacts, except for elders, all disciples are treated equally and are not allowed to cut in line!"

A beautiful inner sect female disciple nearby asked: "Then, what about the senior brothers and sisters on the two rankings?"

Bai Ziqi smiled and said: "Junior Sister, you must be new to the sect. Most of the proud sons of heaven on the two rankings go out to practice and search for ruins, so they don't lack anything at all!

In fact, they will even use the things they searched for to exchange for Merit Points, which are used to exchange for qualifications to enter the sect's major illusions to practice!"

"So that's it!" The female disciple stuck out her tongue, "I've only been in the sect for a few months, I don't quite understand!"

Several other female disciples nearby asked: "Then is it possible that because of some special reasons, one doesn't have to queue?"

Bai Ziqi smiled calmly: "Basically impossible, I haven't seen it!"

As soon as the words fell, a figure not far away ignored the queue and walked over leisurely, wearing the wide robes and large sleeves of a direct disciple, with a relaxed and calm posture.

"Uh..." A group of queuing disciples looked at each other, blank and speechless.

Several female disciples nearby exclaimed: "That senior brother... why can he not queue?"

Bai Ziqi and Ye Xiaoyao were stunned at the same time.

Heng Xian?

What is this guy doing here?

And why isn't he queuing?!

Watching Heng Xian about to walk into the "Merit Award Hall" with big strides.

Bai Ziqi gritted his teeth: "Heng Xian! By what right do you not have to queue and wait?"

With someone taking the lead, the surrounding waiting disciples immediately became indignant and agitated: "That's right! Why doesn't this senior brother have to wait?"

Heng Xian turned his head and looked at the crowd in surprise: "Because I am a VIP!"

"VIP?" The queuing disciples were stunned again.

He went in to be scolded?

Bai Ziqi said in a deep voice: "Even if you are to be scolded, there is no reason not to queue and wait!"

A group of disciples followed suit: "That's right, if you made a mistake and are to be scolded, there's even less reason to go in first!"

"Silence!"

At this time, two inner sect disciples of the "Merit Award Hall" wearing red robes walked out, went straight to Heng Xian, bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Senior Brother Heng. Senior Brother Heng is a distinguished guest of the Merit Award Hall, how can we neglect you? The Elder invites you in!"

The whole scene was instantly quiet.

Heng Xian looked in the direction of Bai Ziqi and the others, smiled calmly, and turned to enter.

Watching his back, Ye Xiaoyao and Bai Ziqi's faces turned red.

Why is this bastard doing everything differently from others?

He is... a distinguished guest of the Merit Award Hall?

First time hearing this kind of statement!

A small room in the back hall of the Merit Award Hall, where classics and artifacts are neatly arranged.

"Chuiman Incense" burned slowly, and a pleasant fragrance filled the air.

Liu Hanchun wore a red robe, lying sideways on the bed, her charming eyes like silk, her cherry lips bright red.

At this moment, perhaps feeling that the pose was too tiring, she lifted her right foot and picked at her toes.

When Heng Xian came in, what he saw was this toe-picking scene.

Liu Hanchun hurriedly straightened her posture, flicked her hand to close the door, then patted the side of the bed with the hand that had been picking her toes, her tone soft and sweet: "Little Xianzi, come, sit by my side."

Heng Xian looked her over a few times and smiled: "Uncle-Master's appearance is really beyond my expectations. This doesn't seem to be your style!"

Liu Hanchun chuckled and waved her sleeves, revealing her fragrant shoulders: "Do you think, if Uncle-Master sleeps with you, would you be happy?"

Heng Xian thought seriously: "How old is Uncle-Master?"

Liu Hanchun's right hand fingers picked at the quilt: "Which cultivator compares age? I am the same age as your master, both ninety-six years old, I am four months older than her!"

Heng Xian looked surprised: "I am only seventeen, Uncle-Master, you are older than my grandmother, you... are actually such a beast!"

"Uh..." Liu Hanchun was stunned for a moment, then said angrily: "Your master said you are a person who doesn't eat soft or hard, only beauty, and you were actually lying to me. This dead infatuated woman, it's really unreasonable!"

As she spoke, she sat up, hugging her hands like a man: "Open people don't speak secret words, you have already owed me half a year's dividends!"

Heng Xian smiled: "If I remember correctly, Uncle-Master has already taken 767,000 medium-quality spirit crystals in dividends!

However, in fact, you haven't paid any price. Being so at ease, it's not very appropriate, right?"

Liu Hanchun narrowed her eyes: "Kid, you used my reputation, and now you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge? Uncle-Master is in urgent need of spirit crystals now, don't piss me off!"

Heng Xian said: "That's too serious. I just want to discuss something with Uncle-Master. If it succeeds, I will immediately make up for the dividends owed for half a year, and in the future, the monthly dividends will be on time!"
