Chapter 47 Second-Order Frost Jade Dragon
Qin Chengcheng was dumbfounded:
"You have so many clever ideas! But I still feel this is a bit wrong; isn't this just wasting other people's cultivation resources?"
"Fairy, they consumed cultivation resources. Does that mean your Wonderful Sound Pavilion's performance is worthless? Does that mean your reputation as the number one fairy in the Foundation Establishment stage, Qin Chengcheng, and the high-end VIP rooms you provide are worthless?"
This is something that's priceless and unavailable! Compared to their measly fortune, your investment is no less significant.
Qin Chengcheng was skeptical, but finally sighed, "This is a good idea. If all else fails, this is the only way."
But what if he makes unreasonable demands, goes straight to the point, and directly asks for a large dowry to become my Daoist partner? What should I do?
Qin Chengcheng sighed inwardly. Everyone outside thought that a beautiful woman like him lived an easy life, with countless admirers, but they didn't know that all of this came at a price. There's no such thing as taking something from someone else without paying a price.
Besides, sometimes, when someone is too powerful, it's hard for her to refuse.
"That's simple. Just say: The cultivation world is ever-changing. Those who have just established themselves in the Foundation Establishment stage are not yet in the Core Formation stage. Without magic treasures and supernatural powers to protect them, they cannot withstand great storms. How dare they find a Daoist partner and start a family? In short, just postpone it."
"How come you're so skilled?" Qin Chengcheng stared at Chen Yi with suspicious eyes.
A few days later, thanks to Qin Chengcheng's clever arrangement, Xu Shixian's anticipated private banquet was transformed into a public thank-you banquet at Miaoyin Pavilion.
During the banquet, Qin Chengcheng, dressed in a moon-white gauze dress, expressed her gratitude to Young Master Xu and the Foundation Establishment cultivators in her capacity as the Pavilion Master of Miaoyin Pavilion.
She specifically emphasized that Miaoyin Pavilion insisted on paying the rent for the second-tier spiritual vein cave dwelling.
At the same time, she announced that, with the help of her fellow Daoists, Miaoyin Pavilion had managed to establish itself and show some improvement. To express their gratitude to the market and fellow Daoists, they would be holding a concert by all the fairies of Miaoyin Pavilion.
One exclusive private room and ten premium private rooms are specially set up, offering the best seats to listen to the performances of the fairies of Miaoyin Pavilion.
The ticket for the exclusive private box was made of Geng gold and worth dozens of spirit stones, which was presented to Young Master Xu on the spot.
The envious and jealous glances from the other Foundation Establishment cultivators at the table made Xu Shixian feel as if he were floating on air. He held the thin gold ingot in his hand as if it were the most precious gift in the world.
In comparison, a second-tier spirit vein cave dwelling that cost a few thousand spirit stones and two months of work by a formation master is nothing at all.
After the banquet officially began, Qin Chengcheng drank three cups of wine before excused herself, saying she couldn't hold her liquor.
As she left, her skirts fluttered lightly, and she gracefully departed amidst the regretful gazes of the assembled cultivators, not giving Xu Shixian a chance to speak to her alone.
Only Liu Jinjin, the deputy pavilion master in the early stage of foundation building, was left to preside over the subsequent banquet.
Under the adoration of the crowd, Xu Shixian couldn't spare the time to chase after Qin Chengcheng, and could only watch Qin Chengcheng's back with a regretful expression.
The aroma of the dishes filled the air, and the guests praised these delicacies for being both delicious and nourishing.
Liu Jinjin said that this was a first-class spiritual feast personally prepared by the chief spiritual chef invited by Miaoyin Pavilion.
Chief spiritual chef Fatty Liu also made his appearance with a smile, saying that it was his honor to prepare a spiritual feast for the Foundation Establishment seniors.
The other chefs were merely his assistants and did not appear.
Later, when Fatty Liu was preparing for the funeral banquet, he didn't see Chen Yi's figure, and he was very upset about it.
Privately, Dong Chang'an, who had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, whispered to Xu Shixian: "Young Master Xu, the other day, Fairy Qin bought the corpse of that second-tier Cold Jade Dragon from me, but there was no second-tier demon beast meat at today's banquet."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shixian frowned slightly, a shadow passing over his eyes.
Dong Chang'an's idea was either to annoy Qin Chengcheng and drive her away, or to help Xu Shixian win the heart of his beloved as soon as possible, so that the second-tier spiritual vein would fall into his hands.
Meanwhile, in Qin Chengcheng's boudoir, Chen Yi was enjoying a hearty meal from a celadon bowl.
On the table, in the copper pot, the meat of a second-tier Frost Jade Dragon was cooked into an amber-colored soup, and the dragon's unique dual attributes of ice and fire achieved a delicate balance in the bowl.
When Qin Chengcheng pushed open the door, she saw Chen Yi scooping up the third bowl of dragon meat soup.
"I was busy entertaining guests up ahead, and you dared not wait for me!"
In a fit of pique, Qin Chengcheng strode towards Chen Yi, placed one foot on the chair next to him, rolled up her sleeves, picked up a jade spoon, and began ladling meat into her bowl.
The aloof and self-possessed fairy-like image she had displayed at the banquet was now completely gone.
The translucent, icy jade dragon meat is as clear as ice jade and melts in your mouth.
After eating several bowls of meat, Chen Yi was full. A surge of demonic power, a mixture of icy cold and fiery heat, exploded within his body. His meridians felt as if they were being pierced by thousands of ice needles, or as if lava was flowing through them.
Chen Yi grunted; he had underestimated the energy of a second-tier demon beast's flesh.
"Enjoy your meal, fairy." Chen Yi forced down his chopsticks despite his stomach pain, hurriedly bowed to Qin Chengcheng who was still eating elegantly, and then slipped back to his room.
He sat cross-legged on the couch, activating the system to absorb abilities.
The demonic power of the Frost Jade Dragon surged into its dantian like a tide, and ice-blue patterns suddenly appeared in the dark golden light—this was the "Frost Metal" characteristic formed by the fusion of the Frost Jade attribute and the Geng Metal Qi unique to this demonic beast.
For the first time, the accumulated amount of golden light burdened Chen Yi's divine sense, a situation he had never experienced before when devouring first-tier demonic beasts.
The golden energy accumulated by the second-tier demon beast was accumulating far too quickly.
As the golden light shimmered, frost patterns quietly formed on the surface of Chen Yi's bones.
With each breath he took, icy mist billowed out, and even before his fist was thrown, it was already chilling to the bone.
He tentatively threw a punch into the air, leaving behind tiny ice crystals.
"It even has an attack effect with frost attribute."
Chen Yi was slightly surprised. This was another body-refining characteristic he had discovered after Fire Refining Golden Radiance.
"Perhaps, the effectiveness of my body tempering is related to the types of demonic beast talents I have absorbed."
Simultaneously,
Chen Yi also extracted the spiritual essence of the Cold Jade Dragon and transformed it into enlightenment empowerment.
Reconstruct the mana structure of the basic water-based technique and upgrade it to the [Water Escape Technique]!
Chen Yi used his divine sense to examine his inner self and discovered that the spiritual energy circulation of the new spell was several times more complex, and its speed of escape in water had reached the second-tier level.
He channeled the remaining spiritual energy into the practice of the "Turtle Breathing Water and Wood Technique".
After being tempered by the properties of the cold jade, the water elemental energy became increasingly solid and pure.
Chen Yi originally faced a hurdle in advancing to the seventh level of Qi Refining after breaking through to the sixth level. However, after repeatedly improving the Turtle Breathing Water and Wood Technique and enhancing the quality of his mana, he estimated that breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining would become much easier once he had accumulated enough mana at the sixth level.
Thanks to Qin Chengcheng, the entire Miaoyin Pavilion was relocated to a second-tier spiritual vein cave. Chen Yi was assigned a secluded and quiet room, where the concentration of spiritual energy was more than ten times that of the talisman shop.
The inferior talent of having three spiritual roots was offset by the repeatedly improved cultivation techniques and powerful spiritual veins.
Daily cultivation efficiency and mana accumulation speed increased more than threefold.
He estimated that the time to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining would be halved. Originally, Chen Yi planned to take seven or eight years to reach the threshold of the late stage of Qi Refining, but now it seems that he may be able to reach it in three or four years.
A month later, the two of them devoured the entire Frost Jade Dragon.
Qin Chengcheng, being a cultivator specializing in magic, had a somewhat weaker ability to digest the flesh and blood of second-tier demonic beasts, only taking a small taste.
Most of his flesh and blood became Chen Yi's resources for body tempering.
Now, the golden light within his body surged like a mighty river, far more powerful than during his usual cultivation. The accumulation in this month was equivalent to the amount he had accumulated in the past year.
His progress in the third level of body refinement advanced by more than 10%.
"If I had seven or eight more of these second-tier demonic beasts, I would most likely be able to advance to the third level of Body Refinement."
