The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 163 A Shocking Gift: My Grandson Has the Appearance of an Immortal

Are they all gifts?

Qin Zhenyuan was shocked; they had brought it in so ostentatiously, as if it were being transported directly through the streets.

Even if it only contains the kind of cultivation aids that were given before.

That would be quite valuable.

Although Baizhenlou has made a lot of profit recently, it still takes a lot of effort to buy so many supplies.

Futong Bank did intend to provide support, but it was also a mutually beneficial arrangement.

The concessions were merely out of consideration for Qin Hao, lowering the bar for potential partners.

Given Baizhenlou's previous situation, at most they would only go through a few rounds of transactions to obtain goods from the lower-level distributors of Futong Money Shop's partners.

However, the profits are very limited.

Now, by eliminating middlemen, Baizhenlou gets its goods directly from Futong Money Shop.

What they earned was naturally several times more than before.

Even so, the Qin family wanted to rely on this to leap up the social ladder and achieve upward mobility, so that they would never lack spirit stones again.

That's overthinking it.

This is because the Qin family not only has these direct descendants, but also a Red Dragon Army of three thousand men.

"Open."

Chu Xiuying was born into the Marquis of Wuling's family, and she had more experience than others from a young age.

There were many of these things, but not enough to leave one speechless with shock.

Qin Zhenyuan recovered in an instant: "Open it and take a look."

The guard presented a list, saying, "These boxes contain a wide variety of cultivation aids."

In addition, these boxes contain various spices that can be used to make medicinal cuisine.

The recipe is also in the storage bag.

The middle items are hand creams, face creams, etc., made from various pearls and other materials. Instructions for use are also included in the storage bag.

The young master instructed that the mistress should use it, and then the news should be spread throughout the capital.

Chu Xiuying was taken aback. After opening the box, she found many storage bags inside.

These storage bags are not very big; they are just low-quality items.

Each one has approximately fifteen cubic meters.

But this whole box was full of these storage bags.

The Qin family was never this arrogant before.

They assumed it was stored in the box they were using.

Unexpectedly, the real prize was inside the box.

They all use storage bags.

"These storage bags alone must be worth a fortune, right?"

Each storage bag is quite valuable; ordinary cultivators would need to save up for a long time to buy one.

"There are probably a hundred storage bags in this box?"

So many boxes, does each one contain...?
"Yes, young master said that there are about thirty kinds of products, including hand cream and face cream."

These are all for women's skincare.

Chu Xiuying was immediately tempted upon hearing this.

She is a woman, so naturally she knows what women like best.

She couldn't wait to call her daughter-in-law over so they could start trying it out together.

Qin Zhenyuan, on the other hand, was looking at the cultivation aids mentioned earlier.

"These materials, including calming incense, help to enter a meditative state and enhance the effects of meditation. There are a total of 23 finished products."

Qin Zhenyuan looked at them one by one, and they were all stored in storage bags.

"Compared to hand creams and face creams, there are slightly fewer of these items."

Unfortunately, Qin Zhenyuan had no intention of selling these things.

This is used to improve the cultivation level of the Crimson Dragon Army.

Those are all private soldiers; the stronger they are, the easier it will be for them to use when needed.

The guard chuckled, “Master, the young master said that a caravan will deliver these items every two weeks. However, the main cargo being transported is not these storage bags.”

Ok?
Qin Zhenyuan was stunned when he saw the guard quietly hand him a ring.

Qin Zhenyuan was even more taken aback. A storage ring?

This thing looks nice, but its storage space is actually not as good as that of bracelets and anklets.

Even some well-known large storage bags are larger than storage rings.

But when he took it, he was greatly shocked.

What did he see?
A storage ring contained a continent spanning over a hundred miles in circumference.

It is several kilometers high.

I've never even heard of such a huge storage ring.

Of course, I have heard of such storage equipment.

Legend has it that the Sumeru bags of Buddhist and Taoist masters contain more than just these spaces.

But this is a device that can store living things.

Qin Zhenyuan discovered that there were also many spiritual plants growing inside the storage ring.

Although it seems that the years are not very long.

But it's still much better than what I grow in this yard.

Those spiritual plants can convert the power of stars into spiritual energy suitable for human cultivators.

hiss.

Hahahaha.

"My grandson has the appearance of an immortal."

At this moment, Qin Zhenyuan felt increasingly moved and realized that what he had said made perfect sense.

Otherwise, how could Qin Hao have brought so many good things?

This storage ring contains a large number of high-level treasures.

Not to mention various magical treasures, there are also treasures to assist in the cultivation of the third realm.

The boxes or storage bags currently in use are for cultivators at the first level, or at most, the second level.

The guard then quietly took out a world ring: "Young Master said this is for the mistress."

Qin Zhenyuan put it away and quietly gave it to his wife, giving her a knowing look.

As a partner who has struggled and worked hard together.

Chu Xiuying understood with just one look from Qin Zhenyuan.

nice one.

She was also a little puzzled; it was just a storage ring, after all.

Could it be that the contents inside are very good?

Although she liked those hand creams and face creams, she felt that the effects were indeed quite good after just one trial.

If it's promoted, it can occupy a certain share in the divine realm.

Yes, this is a pioneering endeavor.

Perhaps Baizhenlou could add a relatively new business.

These plans were all in the storage bag given to him by his grandson, Qin Hao.

This is a matter that has been passed down through the Qin family for centuries.

But this ring?
hiss.

Take a deep breath.

Chu Xiuying remembers that when her mother took her back to Luoxing Lake Dragon Palace, she felt that everything there was wonderful.

Unfortunately, it doesn't belong to me.

But now, this ring is quite valuable.

The items inside, however, did not seem so valuable.

The two exchanged a glance, neither knowing where Qin Hao had found it.

Qin Hao must have another one.

It wasn't that the two felt Qin Hao wasn't filial enough, that he didn't think of giving good things to his grandparents, but rather that he used them himself.

When practitioners are out in the world, they naturally equip themselves with the best things first.

If Qin Zhenyuan had this storage ring, he could have increased the rewards from each of his adventures and treasure hunts many times over when he was working hard outside.

The guard added, "These boxes behind us contain standard magical artifacts."

It includes a complete set of magical artifacts, including a helmet, faceplate, breastplate, spear, wrist guards, arm guards, skirt armor, leg armor, and shoes.

It also contains a medium-grade storage bag with thirty cubic meters of storage space.

This was prepared by the young master for our Crimson Dragon Army.

This guard was the one Qin Zhenyuan had previously found in the Crimson Dragon Army and assigned to Qin Hao as his bodyguard.

He was initially a little reluctant.

However, as Qin's private soldier, he could not disobey orders.

But it wasn't long before he was completely won over by Qin Hao.

Looking at what young master Sun has achieved now, he feels that even the slightest hesitation back then was wrong.

Both are mistakes.

Therefore, he was more than willing to be sent to deliver magical treasures to the previous Red Dragon Army.

It was precisely because this guard came from the Crimson Dragon Army that he naturally earned their trust.

This wave represents a comprehensive upgrade.

After taking inventory, Chu Xiuying quickly had the items put into storage.

"Qiuwen, quickly organize all the maids in the house to try this cosmetic. Then start preparing for the banquet. In a few days, invite the families of nobles from the capital to our house for a feast."

As the eldest daughter-in-law in the family, Fu Qiuwen usually assists her mother-in-law in managing the household.

As soon as Chu Xiuying opened her mouth, she knew what was going on.

The things my nephew sent were to help us find markets for them.

This stuff works well; she can feel it too.

Besides improving the skin, it also has a slight auxiliary effect on spiritual practice.

Without you having to do anything, the spiritual energy will automatically enter your body.

Over time, this will become a valuable resource for cultivation.

With higher cultivation levels, one's skin naturally becomes better.

It was truly imaginative and captured the heart of a woman.

She had a feeling that this business was going to be a huge success.

With more money earned at home, they can provide more support to their son and daughter.

Fu Qiuwen was of course willing and her heart was burning with passion.

He immediately accepted the order and went to make preparations.

Chu Xiuying nodded, then shook her head.

This daughter-in-law isn't bad, but she does have some ulterior motives.

But this is also human nature.

Children born from one's own womb are naturally more cherished.

However, he did not neglect his younger brother's son.

You could say they're much closer than other families.

This is also why Qin Hao was willing to lend a hand to the other party.

The two men instructed the guards to keep watch, and then returned to the main hall.

Chu Xiuying looked at Qin Zhenyuan and said, "It seems that our grandson has seen through all the things you've been hiding."

Qin Zhenyuan had actually figured it out; the cultivation aids in the world ring he had given him were all for martial artists in the third realm.

Qin Zhenyuan also has high expectations for his grandson, who has shown intelligence since childhood.

But the expected reward almost scared him to death.

However, deep down, I felt a profound sense of awe and exhilaration.

After discussing it, the two felt that Qin Hao might have another extraordinary encounter.

"Even if the Dragon Palace of Pengze Lake is wealthy, and our grandson has inherited the position of Dragon King, the fact that he can send so many things here suggests that he is not a puppet."

Although the two felt that even if they were puppets, they could still obtain the resources for their cultivation.

Whether you're a puppet or not, you should still be one.

As long as we can rise again in the future, we can take back our freedom.

But it seems that things are not as I expected.
The two discussed it for a while, feeling extremely excited.

However, the two then thought of their missing son and daughter-in-law, whose fate was unknown.

For a moment, both of them felt somewhat dejected.

However, the two quickly cheered up.

"Let's focus on our cultivation. Once our cultivation level is high enough, we'll naturally be able to find out the truth."

"Well, I don't think my grandson's progress will necessarily be slower than ours."

"Whether it's slow or not, we don't care. Hua Lin is our son, and we have to work hard ourselves."

"Okay. There's really no need to worry too much about things at home." "Yes, I saw that the puppets in the storage ring all have the strength of the second realm. There are over a thousand of these puppets alone. This is no ordinary matter."

"I also have over a thousand second-realm puppets here. Hiss, my grandson really has the appearance of an immortal. Just these are almost equivalent to my Crimson Dragon Army."

The Crimson Dragon Army has three thousand members, most of whom are still at the first realm.

Only those above the rank of squad leader are considered to be in the second realm.

Although the number of puppets was less than that of the Crimson Dragon Army, their quality had surpassed it.

Moreover, puppets can also be arranged in formation, and their effect is no worse than that of human cultivators.

Perhaps the only downside is that the puppets' actions all require energy.

“I see that there is also a storage bag inside that puppet, filled with enough spiritual liquid.”

"We should use it sparingly; these spiritual liquids are quite valuable."

The two of them were not poor.

He was a lord, after all.

But for those high-ranking lords and nobles of a thousand years, it was a different story.

How many years has the Anyuan Marquisate been established?

The accumulated wealth is naturally insufficient.

Qin Hao's donation alone has significantly boosted the Qin family's foundation.

"We can't neglect the Crimson Dragon Army either."

"Indeed, the fact that Hao'er sent something today probably makes others think that the tasks the Crimson Dragon Army will face in the future will be even more arduous."

"No problem. The mission is even more demanding, the training is even more intense, and the improvement will be even greater. My Crimson Dragon Army, led by Qin Zhenyuan, is no pushover."

"By the way, how's your second primordial spirit doing?"

"In a few more months, it should be able to develop."

"That's good. Let's hurry. I have a feeling the situation isn't good, and I'm getting anxious."

The two agreed to begin their cultivation.

On that day, the Anyuan Earl's Mansion sent out invitations, inviting the families of the nobles from the capital to a banquet at their home.

The entire Goddess witnessed Qin Hao sending messengers to deliver gifts to his family.

But we don't know what's inside.

In addition, the title of Earl of Anyuan is still somewhat low.

Apart from a few families with whom they have a good relationship, everyone said they would definitely bring their families and attend the banquet on time.

The others gave vague answers.

I didn't refuse, not wanting to offend anyone for no reason.

But there was no indication that they would come, leaving the situation ambiguous.

But just two days later, Chu Xiuying and Fu Qiuwen were at home entertaining the noble family members who had come for a banquet.

The head butler rushed inside, leaving both of them puzzled.

The head butler had been the household steward for many years and had never encountered such a situation before.

"What happened?" Chu Xiuying frowned, but still asked calmly.

The head butler said, "Madam, the wife of the Grand Duke of Shenwei has come to the banquet with her granddaughter."

what?
Although the Anyuan Earl's Mansion was also under the jurisdiction of the Grand Duke Shenwei.

But Chu Xiuying had only attended two banquets with the Grand Duke's wife and seen her from afar.

Sending invitations is also a matter of courtesy.

She never imagined that someone would come over.

When the person actually came over, Chu Xiuying was a little flustered for a moment.

Although the exact reason is unknown.

But when the Grand Duchess came, the house was naturally filled with honor.

"Quickly, come with me to the door to greet them."

The mansion gates were opened wide, and Chu Xiuying personally led a group of people to greet them at the entrance.

"Sister Chu."

"Madam Qin."

The ladies who came to the banquet were all incredibly enthusiastic.

This is much better than the previous attitude.

Next, those who came to the banquet were people they had never met before.

Many of them were high-ranking noblewomen of the capital.

When the Grand Duchess arrived, many ladies of various ranks were standing at the entrance.

Lady Hou, quite a few of them have come.

The Grand Duchess had a kind face, yet she was also dignified.

The little granddaughter beside him is clever and adorable.

"Grand Duchess." Chu Xiuying and her entourage quickly stepped forward to pay their respects.

The Divine Duke is a master strategist.

This man is a pillar of the military, and his cultivation level is at the peak of the fourth realm.

Moreover, they are cultivators who are decisive and extremely powerful, such as military cultivators.

If he had enough troops to back him up, it is said that he would even dare to challenge Master Lu.

And most of the time, it was Mr. Lu who wanted to avoid his sharp edge.

This is the strength of a military cultivator.

However, without the support of the military, this person is definitely not as good as Mr. Lu.

"Hmm, Xiuying, come closer."

The Grand Duchess's affectionate address made Chu Xiuying feel somewhat flattered.

She didn't know why.

However, the two soon walked inside together.

The Duchess said, "Your grandson displayed great power at the Dragon Palace of Falling Star Lake. He challenged dozens of dragon prodigies by himself and won. He has so many magical treasures that he could buy them wholesale. My little granddaughter heard about it and was very unconvinced, saying that she also had many magical treasures. And that day she pulled her grandfather's beard, wanting things like the Dragon Binding Rope, the Dragon Binding Rope, and the Dragon Trapping Cauldron."

Only this little granddaughter would dare to grab the beard of the Divine Might Grand Duke.

Moreover, everyone in the capital knows that this beloved granddaughter possesses a multitude of magical treasures.

Chu Xiuying was shocked and finally understood what had happened.

The information channels of the Marquis of Anyuan were far inferior to those of others.

Those who came here today have probably all seen this news.

Qin Hao is very young and has only been in the entertainment industry for half a year.

They were already able to defeat those dragon prodigies.

Given time, the fourth realm may be within reach.

This is the cultivation level that can support a duke.

As for failing halfway through?
It's highly unlikely that Qin Hao, who has a fourth-realm guard by his side, would be involved.

During the meal, the Duchess casually asked, "Xiuying, your skin seems to have improved quite a bit these past two days?"

Chu Xiuying understood that the Grand Duchess was advocating for her.

Immediately, Chu Xiuying smiled and said, "Yes, Madam. This was made by my grandson using pearls from the Dragon Palace of Pengze Lake, along with various rare and precious medicinal herbs..."

……

Qin Hao is not yet aware of what is happening in the capital.

But one can guess a thing or two.

Now that I've risen to prominence, it's only right that I give back to my family.

As for those two world rings, their value can be calculated in mixed units.

Moreover, even the smallest world rings in the Swallowed Star world are measured in tens of thousands of kilometers.

Qin Hao specially commissioned the creation of this 100-kilometer-long world ring.

It will cost extra money.

Even the realm lord found it strange.

Normally, everyone aims for something big.

This is the first time I've seen this, so I need to make it smaller.

Most of the things inside came from the Swallowed Star world.

The Heavenly Craft Pavilion earns a lot of profit every day, in addition to training a large number of subordinates.

Qin Hao naturally also moved some to the Qianyang Realm.

He hasn't gone out these past two days.

The seven-colored dragon's clone, Ao Hong, also did not go out.

However, his future self changed his form and went out to listen to the teachings.

And you know what? The Dragon Washing Ceremony at Falling Star Lake has quite a few people invited.

Everyone who comes here brings with them a bit of good fortune.

When the time comes, the dragon eggs in the Dragon Washing Pool will have a greater chance of hatching.

The Dragon Palace of Falling Star Lake also distributed many benefits.

Various rare materials that are not usually seen appeared at the trade fair.

There are also some highly accomplished aquatic beings explaining the path of cultivation.

In addition, the Dragon Palace also spent some money to invite some humans, demons, and even barbarians and Gu cultivators from the Ten Thousand Mountains to give lectures.

These are all rewards for those who come here to participate in the Dragon Washing Conference.

No one will do something that doesn't bring them any benefit.

Only in this way can it be considered mutually beneficial.

In the future, they will change their forms and go to listen to the lecture.

Whether it's a demon race, a Gu master, a human race, or an aquatic race.

Although it may not be the same path as mine.

But we can learn from the stones of other mountains to polish our own jade.

Even though these people don't talk about their core principles, they can still enrich their knowledge and broaden their horizons.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

Back in the capital, the Qin family has also gotten back on track.

Although it was known that Qin Hao had most likely offended the Dragon Palace forces.

They challenged all the dragon princes and princesses who went to the Dragon Palace of Falling Star Lake.

Even the son of the Heavenly Star Dragon Consort was no exception.

The Marquis of Wuling's residence did indeed express some dissatisfaction.

That's Qin Hao's great-uncle!
However, Chu Xiuying was quite assertive and replied with a retort.

"He won't even help his own people, yet his great-uncle is sitting on his laurels."

News of what happened during the gathering has been circulating in recent days.

Qin Hao is not someone who likes to cause trouble, but since this has happened...

That means someone definitely wants to bully their grandson.

They've been thoroughly slapped in the face, what else is there to say?

Even if it's your own uncle, you can't say too much.

Moreover, the An Yuan Earl's Mansion had never received any benefits from the Dragon Palace of Falling Star Lake.

As for the support from the Marquis of Wuling's mansion?
When she agreed to marry Qin Zhenyuan, the support from the Marquis of Wuling's mansion was extremely meager.

Over the years, it's all been built up by the couple through their own hard work.

The grandson has risen to prominence, and even the wife of the Grand Duke of Shenwei has come here personally to support her.

Chu Xiuying isn't afraid at all.

As it turned out, the support Qin Hao provided was indeed far greater than that from the Marquis of Wuling's mansion.

Although the most valuable large storage ring was no longer among the supplies that were delivered every two weeks thereafter.

But it's more than enough to support an earl's mansion.

Moreover, although the Marquis of Wuling's mansion took the lead in not supporting the cosmetics launched by Chu Xiuying's Baizhen Pavilion.

But Baizhenlou's business is still many times more booming than before.

Fu Qiuwen felt happy every day when she looked at the account books.

The more money the family earns, the more they can support their son and daughter.

My nephew Qin Hao doesn't need any support from his family at all.

In this family, aren't all the resources reserved for their own son and daughter?

Song Fugui entered the Dragon Palace of Falling Star Lake and, looking at Qin Hao sitting at the head of the table, said with a smile, "Brother Qin, the crab steward of the Dragon Palace of Falling Star Lake has come to report that the Dragon Cleansing Ceremony will begin tomorrow."

Qin Hao smiled and said, "Is that so? It seems the secret realm will open in the next few days. Are you all ready? Be careful when you enter the secret realm."

Song Fugui laughed and said, "The Great Xia Tongbao coins I prepared have already filled an entire storage bag."

In addition, the number of magical artifacts and other items prepared was also extremely large.

Everyone else was ready too.

The hidden realm is both a risk and an opportunity.

"Then let's make the final preparations and attend the ceremony tomorrow."
