Gou Zaixiu Immortal World Gets A Wife

Chapter 67 Confession (Seeking Continued Reading)

In Li Guanxuan's heart, Fang Xingzhi was just a pawn he casually placed. But if he were to give up now, it would be too much of a loss.

He had to take away one or two Foundation Building cultivators from the Yu Shouyou family before leaving.

Otherwise, those two Foundation Building pills would be given away for nothing.

"I seem to have been a bit reckless in the matter with Old Chen..." Li Guanxuan sighed inwardly, reflecting on himself.

But in this cruel world of cultivation, Chen Yinshan was his only close friend.

If he couldn't even stand up for Old Chen, how could they be considered brothers?

"When dealing with the Yu Shouyou family, I must ensure my own safety. Accidents like today should never happen again. Master Chen may be willing to help once or twice, but he might not be willing to help a third time." Li Guanxuan constantly reminded himself not to be complacent.

Even though he had some wealth and power now, he still appeared weak when facing an entire Foundation Building family.

Moreover, he didn't believe that the sixth-level Foundation Building ancestor of the Yu Shouyou family could live forever. There would come a time when the opponent would die of old age, or even struggle to take a breath.

That would be the time for him to make his move.

So for now, he had to continue to be patient, accumulate strength, and wait for the right moment to strike.

"Even if Master Chen can't save Fang Xingzhi, he won't let the five Qi Refining peak cultivators of the Yu Shouyou family leave alive... If Fang Xingzhi is saved, based on this grudge, he will definitely bite onto the Yu Shouyou family like a mad dog until they are severely injured and dying." A glint flashed in Li Guanxuan's eyes, but it quickly receded, returning to a calm and serene state.

...

Song Zhiqiao took Li Guanxuan to find Dong Sir.

After receiving instructions from Liu Xiaoxian, Dong Sir handed over forty thousand low-grade spirit stones to Li Guanxuan.

"The shopkeeper said that in the future, when we have Foundation Building materials like Thousand Gold Vine and Purple Dan Ginseng, we should prioritize selling them to Master Li Dan and sell them at the lowest price." Dong Sir smiled.

"Do you have any three-hundred-year-old ones?" Li Guanxuan asked.

"For now, we only have two."

"I'll take them. What about two-hundred-year-old ones? Never mind, prepare all the Foundation Building materials of two-hundred-year-old and one-hundred-year-old, and I also want to exchange for a second-grade flying boat and sell some magical artifacts..." Li Guanxuan had sold most of the first-grade magical artifacts, including the exposed second-grade flying boat.

Then, he bought ten second-grade low-grade longswords, each costing one thousand low-grade spirit stones.

One magical artifact that could store mana and contain attack-type talismans cost one thousand low-grade spirit stones.

A second-grade flying boat with two spiritual energy cannons was worth fifteen thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Three-hundred-year-old Thousand Gold Vine and Purple Dan Ginseng, two portions each, cost four thousand low-grade spirit stones per portion.

Two-hundred-year-old Thousand Gold Vine and Purple Dan Ginseng, ten portions each, and one-hundred-year-old, ten portions, cost twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones.

One hundred portions of second-grade beast skin and spiritual blood cost ten thousand low-grade spirit stones...

A total of sixty-four thousand low-grade spirit stones, equivalent to six hundred and forty medium-grade spirit stones.

Finally, after selling the second-grade flying boat and magical artifacts, Li Guanxuan replenished twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones and bought some materials for making puppets.

Looking at the remaining fifty medium-grade spirit stones and over one thousand low-grade spirit stones in his storage bag, Li Guanxuan couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Spirit stones were earned quickly but spent quickly too.

Alchemy, talisman drawing, puppet making... These skills all consumed spirit stones.

Sometimes, when his spiritual energy was insufficient, he would directly insert a piece of spirit stone, which consumed relatively less.

Now he still had four Foundation Building pills that hadn't been sold, including some defensive talismans...

Overall, spirit stones were both currency and consumables. As long as his cultivation level improved, all the consumption would be worth it.

"As a second-grade pill master, talisman master, and puppet master, the expenses are similar to the early stage of Foundation Building..." Li Guanxuan felt quite emotional.

Twelve years ago, he was still using spirit sand.

In the blink of an eye, they were already using medium-grade spirit stones.

Song Zhiqiao had been helping all along, like a little maid.

Although she was envious in her heart, she also understood that all of this was the result of Li Guanxuan's hard work.

In addition, during this short period of time spent with Li Guanxuan, Song Zhiqiao also came to realize...

Cultivation doesn't necessarily have to involve fighting and killing.

Just like Brother Li, who diligently refines pills and makes talismans, one can still earn enough spirit stones to support their cultivation.

Moreover, she was also a formation master, with some knowledge of talisman-making, artifact refining, and mechanisms, making it not difficult for her to earn spirit stones...

At this moment, Song Zhiqiao seemed to have grasped a new path of cultivation.

...

"Brother Li, can we talk?"

When Li Guanxuan was about to leave the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion, Song Zhiqiao finally gathered the courage and looked at Li Guanxuan with anticipation, asking.

Li Guanxuan nodded slightly and sat down on the side.

Song Zhiqiao happily ran over, her hands brushing over the emerald green long skirt behind her, then sat down, her back straight, her hands resting on her thighs near her knees, revealing an elegant and graceful curve.

"Can I just say it?" Song Zhiqiao cautiously asked.

"But feel free to speak." Li Guanxuan smiled and nodded.

"I, can I...?"

At this critical moment, Song Zhiqiao stuttered a bit due to nervousness, a rare look of panic appearing on her lively and beautiful face.

When she saw Li Guanxuan's gentle and jade-like eyes, Song Zhiqiao took a deep breath and said earnestly:

"I, I want to apprentice myself to Brother as a disciple and learn the art of talismans!"

Li Guanxuan was taken aback for a moment. He thought this little girl was going to confess, but he didn't expect it to be a request to become his disciple.

Before Li Guanxuan could ask why, Song Zhiqiao blushed and said, "I also want to marry Brother after I have achieved something, even if it's just as a concubine."

Li Guanxuan: "..."

This disciple hasn't even entered the door yet, and her filial piety has already turned sour.

Song Zhiqiao continued on her own, "I know that my cultivation is weak and my skills are low right now. I'm not worthy of Brother Li, not even as a concubine...

That's why I want to learn the art of talismans, and then engrave the formation eye into the talisman to enhance its power, so that I can earn spirit stones and improve my cultivation and skills... In this way, when I reach the mid-stage of Qi Refining, perhaps I will be qualified to marry Brother."

After speaking, Song Zhiqiao's face turned red, and she tightly pursed her thin lips, lowering her head.

This was her heartfelt words, not just idle talk.

She had read many books and understood that the pursuit of cultivators was different from that of ordinary people.

Ordinary people pursued worldly power, wealth, and material enjoyment... But these things were almost within reach for cultivators in the mortal world, so they wouldn't cherish them.

Cultivators pursued strength, longevity, freedom, and inheritance... So they gradually became detached from worldly desires, becoming solitary, irritable, and indifferent.

In Li Guanxuan, Song Zhiqiao saw something different from other cultivators...

Content with the ordinary, down-to-earth, not fighting or competing, peaceful and harmonious.

Only such an "unusual" cultivator would treat their Dao companion as a wife, willing to share some household chores when the wife was tired, creating a warm family together.

Who wouldn't want to marry such a male cultivator?

Even if it meant becoming his concubine.

Seeing that Li Guanxuan remained silent, Song Zhiqiao couldn't help but raise her head and glance at him.

Li Guanxuan had a smile on his face, his eyes gentle, without any mockery or disdain, and he said softly, "I can teach you the art of talismans, but I won't accept you as my disciple."

"Ah? Why?" Song Zhiqiao was stunned for a moment.

But when she saw Li Guanxuan's meaningful smile, she understood.

Song Zhiqiao felt joy in her heart and sweetly said, "Thank you, thank you, Brother~ I will work hard and be obedient~"
