Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 33: We’re Rich Now

Qin Gengyun allocated all 24 points from eight rounds of hard labor to the Alchemy Master Realm.

Personal panel attribute changes:

[Skill: First Tier Alchemist, 77/200]

At the same time, Qin Gengyun discovered that his Fire Series and Ice Series Spirit Roots had increased by 14 and 15 points respectively.

It seems the improvement in [marital affection] has enhanced the growth rate of dual cultivation on Spirit Roots.

At this rate, it won’t be long before both Spirit Roots are upgraded from Lower Grade to Middle Grade.

Qin Gengyun eagerly anticipated what changes would occur when the dual Spirit Roots reach Middle Grade.

As for his long and slender Divine Sense, which is hard to detect by others, aside from stealthy peeking and eavesdropping, he hasn’t found any other use for it yet.

He should focus on developing it further in the future.

Qin Gengyun slightly turned his body and looked at Qiu Zhihe, who was facing the wall, with her back to him.

Although the two had dual cultivated so many times, each time Qiu Zhihe extinguished the candle and restrained Qin Gengyun’s hands, preventing him from touching her body throughout the process.

During the day, she kept a table’s distance from Qin Gengyun.

Qin Gengyun initially thought Qiu Zhihe was the type of woman who appeared cold but was actually intensely desirous, yet now she seemed genuinely unlike that.

As for why she agreed to marry him and so proactively offered herself, Qin Gengyun couldn’t figure it out now either.

From their interaction in recent days, at least one thing was confirmed; Qiu Zhihe didn’t harbor harmful intentions towards him.

That was enough.

As for other matters, there’s plenty of time ahead.

The alchemy done today was quite exhausting, coupled with the eight rounds of labor just now, Qin Gengyun drifted into a deep sleep thinking about it.

...

The next day.

Qin Gengyun woke early.

Yet, contrary to the past few days when Qiu Zhihe urged him to wake up, she was still asleep.

Was it because she saw he had completed the task of preparing two hundred bags of Clear Wind Powder and so didn’t rush him anymore?

Qin Gengyun got up, carefully getting out of bed.

He was about to head outside to buy breakfast but then heard Meng Yu’s voice wailing again outside:

"You damn little thief! I want to kill your entire family! I curse you, your father, your mother, your son, to die miserably, to never transcend for all eternity!"

Since Meng Yu lost his Spiritual Mastiff, he had been drinking heavily every day, wandering and crying out in Narrow Rain Lane, day and night.

Every day he cursed the person who stole his Spiritual Mastiff in various creative ways.

Qin Gengyun looked back and saw that Qiu Zhihe had indeed turned over in bed and opened her eyes. It seemed she was awoken by Meng Yu’s cries.

"Taoist Friend Qiu, you were tired last night, rest a little longer."

Qin Gengyun said softly.

After all, he came eight times last night. It was only natural that Qiu Zhihe couldn’t take it.

Qiu Zhihe sat up with the quilt wrapped around her, raised her hand to tidy her slightly disheveled hair, and said blandly:

"Five parts out of a whole incense stick, how could I be exhausted?"

Qin Gengyun froze, silently calculating in his mind, and then sighed:

"I didn’t know Taoist Friend Qiu had such a grasp of mathematics."

Qiu Zhihe looked at him: "Aren’t you leaving yet?"

Qin Gengyun, cherishing it, picked up the bag containing two hundred bags of Clear Spirit Grass and said to Qiu Zhihe:

"Taoist Friend Qiu, I’m leaving... I’ll be back soon!"

His words were full of enthusiasm, as this time upon his return, he would be sitting on seven hundred Spirit Stones!

Qiu Zhihe wasn’t excited at all, she nodded calmly, too lazy to say more.

Qin Gengyun was used to it, saying, "Buy your own breakfast," before turning and leaving.

On the way, Qin Gengyun spread his Divine Sense around, fully alert, ready to address any sudden situation.

His face remained calm, as if he were going out for routine attendance.

Like those people from his past life who won the lottery, even though they were going to claim their prize, they acted nonchalant when meeting acquaintances, fearing being remembered after getting rich.

Qin Gengyun had the same mentality now. Yunling Town hadn’t been peaceful lately, so it was better to be cautious.

Upon entering Caifeng Street, he calmly walked into the Pill Talisman Tower, found Shopkeeper Tong, and whispered:

"Shopkeeper Tong, it’s completed."

Shopkeeper Tong was stunned and hurriedly brought him into the inner hall, then said:

"I thought Taoist Friend Qin wouldn’t be able to finish on time, but you completed it ahead of schedule."

Qin Gengyun smiled and handed over the bag containing the Clear Wind Powder: "Shopkeeper Tong, please inspect it."

Shopkeeper Tong opened the bag, checked it, and smiled, cupping his hand to Qin Gengyun:

"Taoist Friend Qin, your skill is pure and refined, and you have quite a future in the Alchemy Dao!"

He just checked a few bags and found that the quality of Clear Wind Powder Qin Gengyun brought was higher than the previous batch.

This batch will increase by fifty spirit coins when sold.

Shopkeeper Tong was very satisfied and immediately brought 700 Spirit Stones, a large and very noticeable bag.

Qin Gengyun asked, "Shopkeeper Tong, I’d like to purchase a Spirit Crystal. Could you help me store these Spirit Stones into the Spirit Crystal?"

Many Low Tier cultivators can’t afford a Storage Bag, plus even if they had one, storing Spirit Stones with other items could be quite scattered, hence the Spirit Crystal was born.

Spirit Crystal is a special crystal specifically for storing Spirit Stones, with a minimum capacity of ten thousand Spirit Stones.

Wealthy cultivators often prefer storing Spirit Stones in Spirit Crystals for convenience and ease of use.

It’s similar to Qin Gengyun’s previous life’s bank card.

However, even more convenient than a bank card, you can extract Spirit Stones directly from it to purchase items.

Qin Gengyun previously didn’t have enough wealth to even require a Spirit Crystal.

But now things were different, he had money!

Carrying a bulging bag of seven hundred Spirit Stones was too conspicuous, so he naturally needed to buy a Spirit Crystal.

"Yes, Taoist Friend Qin, we usually sell Spirit Crystals for three Spirit Stones, but because we have a rapport, I’ll only charge you one Spirit Stone!"

Shopkeeper Tong said with a smile.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Tong!"

Qin Gengyun cupped his hand in gratitude, and soon a worker brought over a brand new Spirit Crystal, stored seven hundred Spirit Stones in it, and handed it to Qin Gengyun.

"Anything else, Shopkeeper Tong?"

Qin Gengyun saw Shopkeeper Tong smiling, knowing he had more to say, and asked with a smile.

Having dealt with such businessmen a few times, he essentially understood their routine; no profit without early rising. The Spirit Crystal was made two Spirit Stones cheaper for some other reason than rapport.

Shopkeeper Tong chuckled and said, "Taoist Friend Qin, frankly speaking, we at Pill Talisman Tower are still collecting Blood Coagulation Pills recently, much like your Clear Spirit Grass, requiring high quality."

Qin Gengyun nodded and asked indifferently, "How many do you need, Shopkeeper Tong?"

Shopkeeper Tong held up five chubby fingers: "Fifty pills, to be delivered within seven days."

"Seven days?"

Qin Gengyun’s heart trembled.

The Blood Coagulation Pill isn’t like the Clear Wind Powder. It’s a higher-grade pill among the First Grade, taken during Magical Combat, if injured, consuming one can quickly stop bleeding and recover Qi, and in emergencies, it could save a life.

To refine Blood Coagulation Pills requires two ingredients: Blood Coagulation Grass and Vitality Fruit. Blood Coagulation Grass is a Spirit Grass, needing Spiritual Energy cultivation, while Vitality Fruit is a common ingredient, albeit not cheap.

Besides the ingredients, the refining difficulty is much higher than Clear Wind Powder.

Qin Gengyun had never refined "Spirit Pills" before, let alone fifty Blood Coagulation Pills within seven days. He was unsure if he could successfully refine even one after several days of research.

Shopkeeper Tong must have noticed the higher quality of his pills compared to others.

However, Shopkeeper Tong didn’t know that Qin Gengyun actually lacked experience in refining "Spirit Pills."

Seeing Qin Gengyun remain silent, Shopkeeper Tong continued:

"If Taoist Friend Qin can deliver fifty high-quality Blood Coagulation Pills on time, we at Pill Talisman Tower are willing to purchase them at eight Spirit Stones each."

That’s another four hundred Spirit Stones!

Coupled with the more than seven hundred Spirit Stones already earned, if he accepted this order, Qin Gengyun would amass more than a thousand Spirit Stones in just a few days!

This is the wealth usually possessed by cultivators in the Qi Cultivation mid-period or even late-period!

However, Qin Gengyun lowered his head and pondered for a moment, cupping his hand:

"Shopkeeper Tong, I don’t have that many Blood Coagulation Pills at hand, I apologize."
