Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 49: Why Should I Accommodate Him?

Looking at the illusory text before his eyes, Qin Gengyun felt a surge of joy in his heart.

[Spousal Relationship] increased by 5 points again.

It seems that being honest and admitting mistakes this time gained him quite a lot of favor in Qiu Zhihe’s heart, coupled with their discussion about cultivation philosophy, it was the couple’s first deep conversation, contributing to the enhancement of their relationship.

Of course, the most important thing is...

My time increased to fifty breaths!

Converted to previous life’s time, that’s two and a half minutes.

This duration is, of course, still far from satisfactory, but it’s much better than thirty-five breaths.

It seems I’m also slowly adapting to Qiu Zhihe’s constitution.

Thinking back, she must be much more satisfied this time, right?

Qin Gengyun turned his head to look at Qiu Zhihe, who had already rolled over and was facing away from him, the delicate curves slightly rising and falling, and he seemed to hear faint breathing.

"Taoist Friend Qiu, are you alright?"

Qin Gengyun asked softly, in the darkness, after a brief silence, a cool voice sounded:

"You say cultivation is not for fighting with others, but if someone wants to kill you, what will you do?"

Qin Gengyun froze, not understanding why Qiu Zhihe asked such a question now, but he still answered:

"If someone truly intends to kill me, I will certainly fight back desperately, wouldn’t just wait to be killed."

Qiu Zhihe rolled over, her bright yet cold apricot eyes shining in the darkness:

"You simply don’t know Magical Combat, how could you fight them back? Die and suffer more?"

Qin Gengyun was stunned, his Longevity Technique is the most ordinary cultivation method, which doesn’t teach how to engage in Magical Combat.

Nor has he ever fought anyone, if he really encounters ruthless people, even if they have similar cultivation as his, he would likely struggle to cope.

He couldn’t help but ask: "Taoist Friend Qiu, have you met with such danger?"

But then shook his head, remembering Qiu Zhihe was once taken by the Demon Sect, she must have experienced Magical Combat.

Qiu Zhihe said: "If there comes a day when you truly fight someone, do not be soft-hearted and timid; strike first, aim for vital areas, every move must target life, no dignity, no morality, the enemy dies, you live, that’s the only rationale."

Her voice chilling to the bone, drilled into Qin Gengyun’s ears, causing him to shudder involuntarily, immediately, he solemnly clasped his hands:

"I will remember!"

"Hmm....."

Qiu Zhihe murmured and suddenly asked:

"Are you done?"

"Ah?" Qin Gengyun was taken aback, then understood quickly, and hurriedly said:

"Done, it’s been done long ago...ah?!"

Half a time period passed.

It has been four lots of fifty breaths after.

Qiu Zhihe skillfully turned over, turning her back to Qin Gengyun, her cold voice seemed to become somewhat softer:

"Sleep, you... no longer need to harbor a Heart Demon."

Saying that, she fell silent, Qin Gengyun smiled, and before his eyes, the illusory text appeared again:

[Name: Qin Gengyun]

[Life: 35/40]

[Cultivation: Qi Cultivation Third-Layer, 17/500]

[Skill: First Tier Alchemist, 113/200]

[Spirit Root: Fire Series Middle Grade Spirit Root (1/1000), Ice Series Middle Grade Spirit Root (8/1000)]

[Available Cultivation Points: 10]

The Ice and Fire Dual Spirit Roots, finally promoted to Middle Grade!

Spirit Root aptitude is divided into four types, commonly seen are Upper, Middle, and Lower Three Grades.

There’s another extremely special one, above Upper Grade, called Top-grade Spirit Root, truly one in a million, with extraordinary talent.

Top-grade Spirit Roots are rarely innate, often Major Sects pile countless resources on the most talented Upper Grade Spirit Root disciples in their sect, painstakingly cultivate, only then there’s a chance to nurture one.

In the Cultivation Realm, it’s widely known that there are only three people with innate Top-grade Spirit Roots, one is the senior sister of Zhenyang Sect, second is the junior sister of Thunder Sword Sect.

The third is the Saintess of Cyan Lotus Sect, Xia Qinglian.

However, Xia Qinglian is dead, hence there are only two people left with innate Top-grade Spirit Roots.

Of course, this pertains only to the younger generation, within those Major Sects, there might still be hidden Top-grade Spirit Root ancestors.

But all these are too distant for Qin Gengyun.

He doesn’t seek any Top-grade Spirit Root, as long as he can steadily improve, it’s enough.

Qin Gengyun silently recited: "Gengyun, add points!"

Adding all 10 points to cultivation, his attribute panel changed:

[Cultivation: Qi Cultivation Third-Layer, 27/500]

[Skill: First Tier Alchemist, 113/200]

He is currently facing the risk of being investigated by the Pavilion Master, increasing strength is the most important, so he must prioritize enhancing cultivation.

As long as he diligently cultivates, he believes he will soon reach Qi Cultivation Fourth-Layer.

However, what Qin Gengyun is most concerned with now is what Middle Grade Spirit Roots can bring to him.

He slightly shifted, turned his head to look at Qiu Zhihe, her breathing was even, and panting had become calm, she should be asleep.

Qin Gengyun gingerly got out of bed, walked to the kitchen, sat cross-legged, trying to sense the surrounding Spiritual Energy.

Ever since he was affected by Pill Poison, rendering him unable to enhance cultivation through his own efforts, Qin Gengyun has not engaged in seated cultivation.

At this moment, he collected his mind, operated the Longevity Technique.

Immediately he felt the surrounding Spiritual Energy rapidly enter his body.

Qin Gengyun felt joyful, the speed of absorbing Spiritual Energy was at least twice as fast as before!

This is the boost brought by Middle Grade Spirit Roots.

This is with Spiritual Energy being scarce in a rented room, if it were in a Spirit Vein Immortal Mansion with abundant Spiritual Energy, even more would be drawn!

However, as these Spiritual Energy entered the meridians and began operation, reaching the Spirit Field, they encountered a blockage.

This is due to the Pill Poison that has accumulated in Qin Gengyun’s Spirit Field.

When cultivators cultivate, they inhale Spiritual Energy, operate cultivation techniques to let Spiritual Energy circulate within meridians and Spirit Field, slowly nourishing themselves, boosting cultivation.

But Pill Poison not only corrodes meridians, it also blocks the Spirit Field, preventing smooth circulation of Spiritual Energy, which is why those afflicted with Pill Poison cannot cultivate.

Even though Qin Gengyun promoted his Spirit Root to Middle Grade, he still cannot resolve the issue of Spirit Field being blocked by Pill Poison.

Ultimately, he needs to find a way to suppress the Pill Poison, even if just making a small opening at the entrance and exit of the Spirit Field, then he can self-cultivate.

By then, combining dual cultivation with self-cultivation, the speed of boosting cultivation will increase considerably.

Next, he must focus on refining Yuqing Pill, aside from selling twenty pieces, keeping the remainder for himself to consume, to see if it can temporarily suppress the Pill Poison inside the Spirit Field.

Qin Gengyun made up his mind, got up and returned to the outer room, lay back on the bed, once again glanced at Qiu Zhihe, seeming to sleep soundly.

He smiled, no matter what, it’s getting better and better.

Once reaching Qi Cultivation Fourth-Layer, Second Tier Alchemist, he plans to rent a bigger apartment, start refining Second Grade Spirit Pill, then consider finding a Spirit Fan Medicine Attendant.

After a while.

Once Qin Gengyun’s respiration grew long and steady.

Qiu Zhihe opened her eyes.

A pair of clear almond eyes filled with anger.

She was angry at herself.

Just now, she deliberately suppressed her Profound Ice and Fire Technique to accommodate Qin Gengyun.

However, forcibly suppressing the cultivation technique caused pain in her internal meridians and Spirit Field.

Every time she needs to adjust her breathing for a while to recover.

Qiu Zhihe didn’t understand why she would do this?

He’s just a tool for restoring my cultivation!

Learning to cook, pretending to be virtuous, acting like loving spouses with him, all to hide and bide time.

Not sincere.

Xia Qinglian, you bear the blood feud of your sect, don’t waste your energy on such trivial matters.

Next time, next time I will not accommodate him again.

...

Yihong House.

Midnight.

To ordinary cultivators, it’s already resting time, but to Yihong House, it’s the busiest time for business.

However, Madam Zhang’s face was full of worries at this moment.

Yesterday, Courtesan Ruyi was sold for her first night to someone for fifty Spirit Stones, lustful individuals all got excited upon hearing and swarmed into Yihong House tonight.

Because once a singer who sells talents not her body has lost her virginity, she will start serving guests overnight.

Moreover, the price of a courtesan with lost virginity isn’t as high anymore, previously Ruyi Fairy was fifty Spirit Stones per night, now it has to be cut by half, fifteen Spirit Stones for a night.

Though the price is still quite high, it’s not unacceptable.

Therefore, many people came to Yihong House tonight wanting to get close to Ruyi Fairy.

Madam Zhang, though she promised Ruyi to exclusively serve the patron of her first night, seeing so many people ordering Ruyi’s room today, the allure of white Spirit Stones was too tempting.

She immediately changed her mind, wanting Ruyi to come out and serve guests.

But Ruyi refused.

The reason was rather ludicrous: yesterday that patron showed incredible prowess, letting her taste wonderful sensations, she has secretly fallen for him, willing to wait in Yihong House for her sweetheart to come again.
