Clan Prosperity Starting With My Servant Girls-Chapter 273: Five-Element Stones!

"I’ll stay with Xue Cong for the night. It would be better for all of us," Lin Xuan Qi replied and got up from the bed.

Yue Jie nodded reluctantly and let out a sigh in silence.

She could only clasp her hands together and put them in front of her chest to embrace the lingering warmth from Lin Xuan Qi that was left on her fingers.

Lin Xuan Qi took a last glance at her before he left the room and closed the doors behind him.

And when he stepped out of the room, words appeared in his mind with imagery of wooden chests appearing in his room.

[Ding!]

[Clan Prosperity System at your service.]

[Congratulations on having a wife and concubine.]

[Rewards below have been delivered:]

[1. Host rewarded with 500 Five-Element Stones for getting a wife.]

[2. Host rewarded with 500 Five-Element Stones for getting a concubine.]

Finally, he thought to himself.

Lin Xuan Qi was sure that the Five-Element Stones would help in his cultivation and for the others like Xue Cong, Yue Jie, Zhi Yong and Lee He Song.

But even if he was eager to know more about it, he knew that now was not the time for it.

He headed towards Xue Cong’s room and he opened the doors slowly.

After he closed the doors behind him, he turned around and glanced at her.

On the bed, Xue Cong was lying on her side, with her breath shallow and in deep sleep.

She had already changed into a new set of clothes and he crept up the bed slowly, trying his best to avoid waking her up from her sleep.

Lin Xuan Qi laid down behind her and wrapped his arms around her.

It didn’t take too long for him to close his eyes and fall asleep.

The autumn wind blew across the mansion and the branches of the trees swayed with it.

Ripples in the pond made by the fishes radiated outwards, moving the moon on the surface of the water when they did so, and everything calmed down after the ripples hit the side of the pond.

The night ended with the gong of the night watchman echoing in the air.

...

Next day.

When Lin Xuan Qi woke up, Xue Cong felt the movement behind her and she turned around.

Their eyes met and they gave each other a smile.

Then she realized something and she sat up from the bed suddenly.

"What’s the matter?" he asked with a frown.

"I need to make sure everything is ready for you..." She had overslept from the exhaustion due to the night.

He held onto her hand and said, "I’m sure Xiu will get it done. It’s time for her to take on more responsibilities."

She nodded and poured a cup of tea for him.

But she hesitated when she could see that it was cold.

Lin Xuan Qi got up and took the cup of tea from her and drank the cup of tea in a mouthful.

He was thirsty from the long night.

Xue Cong quickly brought out a new set of clothes for him and helped him change into it.

It was the first time for him and he enjoyed the attentive care she was giving him.

And after he was done, she helped him to wash up.

"Thanks. I’ve got something to check on in my room, and it’s about time you moved into the room with me."

He wanted to check on the Five-Element Stones and asked her to prepare for the move.

Lin Xuan Qi felt that it was troublesome for him to move between the three rooms and it was for the best if she stayed with him.

Her status of being the wife would be much more prominent with it.

"I will. Someone will inform you when breakfast is done." Xue Cong had no qualms about it and nodded her head.

Lin Xuan Qi left her room and headed straight for his immediately.

Along the way, guards and servants greeted him with a smile while they were busy with their daily chores.

The mood was still joyous from the wedding in the mansion and everyone was chattering with bursts of laughter going off in the distance.

He was glad that his hard work paid off and the Lin Clan was now getting bigger and much more stable.

...

After he got into his room, he walked towards the corner where he saw the wooden chests appearing in his mind earlier.

And there they were, lying in the corner like what was depicted by the system.

He squatted down and inspected the chest.

They looked ordinary like any wooden chest but he could already sense the amount of Five-Element Qi coming out from within.

He opened the cover of the wooden chest and saw that there were many crystal-like stones inside.

Each of the crystals was translucent and the colors changed from different viewing angles.

Lin Xuan Qi picked one out from the wooden chest and held it up against the light.

There were five different colors—red, brown, blue, silver and burnt sienna—swirling inside the core of the crystal.

So this is the Five-Element Stone, he thought to himself silently while he marveled at how it looked.

Lin Xuan Qi sat on his bed with the Five-Element Stone in his hand and took out his manuscript for the Daoist Five-Element Cultivation Techniques.

He flipped to a page where it was about using the Five-Element Stone for cultivation.

There was a diagram of a figure sitting in lotus position with a Five-Element Stone in the hands of the figure and it was placed near the dantian.

Lin Xuan Qi read the words written below the diagram and he began to attempt what was written on it.

He sat in a lotus position with the Five-Element Stone placed on his palms and with his palms near his dantian.

Even before he started the process, he could already feel the thick amount of Five-Element Qi that was emitting out from the Five-Element Stone.

Then, he began by taking in a deep breath.
