The villain is utterly immoral; with a dragon charging right in his face, how could he possibly lose

After receiving the inheritance, Gu Qing was excited. The Undying Heavenly Art was indeed a ruthless person's technique.

This is an evolved version of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.

It can devour the physical constitution of others, and even devour all the energy in the world, seizing the creation of heaven and earth and refining it for its own use.

Furthermore, the Undying Heavenly Skill is divided into two parts: one is rebirth in fire, and the other is transformation from cocoon to creation.

Rebirth through fire allows one to shed their old self and be reborn.

The transformation from the cocoon to the new is the metamorphosis into an unparalleled divine embryo, immortal and indestructible.

It can even transform into ten avatars that are equivalent to itself.

It can be said that this is a method that defies the heavens.

In addition to these, the Undying Heavenly Skill also possesses the signature divine abilities of ruthless individuals.

After pondering for a while, Gu Qing began to cultivate the Undying Heavenly Art.

Outside the formation, spiritual energy surged and poured into it.

Three days later, Gu Qing condensed the true qi of the Undying Heavenly Art, reaching the level of the second level of the Spirit Pool Dantian.

He broke through to the second level of the Divine Sea Realm in just three days; that speed is like riding a rocket.

But Gu Qing was still somewhat dissatisfied.

If he has enough spiritual energy, he definitely has more than two levels.

"Looks like I'll have to go sell elixirs."

Gu Qing put away the array plate and flew towards the capital of the Great Qian Kingdom.

Maple Leaf City is a small place and cannot possibly consume his spiritual herbs, precious medicines, and rare minerals.

Two days later, Gu Qing arrived at a magnificent city that stretched as far as the eye could see, with its walls reaching into the clouds.

Standing beneath the city wall, one feels as insignificant as dust.

Upon entering the capital, Gu Qing went directly to the largest business guild, Wanbaolou.

It is said that Wanbaolou is a super-giant merchant guild that spans five major domains of the Desolate Ancient Realm and has its business associations all over the world, amassing all the wealth in the world.

"I want to see your manager to sell the precious medicine," Gu Qing said, getting straight to the point.

When the waiter heard Gu Qing declare that he wanted to see the person in charge, he immediately became furious and wanted to curse.

The status of the people in charge of Wanbaolou is so prestigious that they are not someone that just anyone can meet.

But upon hearing that the precious medicine was for sale, she immediately swallowed her curses and put on a smile.

"Please wait a moment, sir, I will go and inform them immediately."

She left the counter.

They quickly came out again and invited Gu Qing to a private room.

A woman with an extremely charming face was seen sipping her tea slowly.

She wore a long purple dress, her expression languid, and every move she made exuded ultimate allure.

"Young master, may I ask your surname?" she asked with a smile.

Her voice was soft and melodious, with a hooked ending, captivating the heart and making everyone's imagination run wild.

Gu Qing quickly composed himself, glanced at her, and thought to himself, "What a devil who can't see her toes when she looks down."

"System, could this fairy be the female lead?" This woman is too beautiful; it wouldn't make sense if she weren't the female lead.

That's right, she's the daughter of the president of the Wanbaolou Chamber of Commerce.

[According to the original trajectory of her destiny, she would become Lin Chen's strongest ally, providing him with money, elixirs, rare treasures, and maps of secret realms—everything he could possibly need.]

【Host, are you tempted?】

"Screw her. No matter how arrogant she is, I will always be the man she can't have."

Gu Qingyi retorted with righteous indignation.

Rich women may be appealing, but one should know that if you don't work hard when you're young, you'll end up as a brother in a ghost town.

Gu Qing took out a storage bag, which was full of spiritual herbs.

"My surname is Gu."

Chu Yao scanned the area with her divine sense, her willow-leaf eyebrows furrowing slightly.

These medicinal herbs are plentiful and estimated to be worth three million low-grade spirit stones.

But what she wanted was a precious medicine.

Precious medicines are rare and hard to come by; they can directly enhance one's cultivation level or have miraculous healing effects.

Moreover, it has no side effects.

Elixirs are different.

The medicinal properties of the elixir are extremely potent, and the medicinal power it contains is difficult for the human body to absorb, resulting in significant side effects. It needs to be refined into a pill before it can be taken.

However, every medicine has its side effects, and elixirs are no exception.

Gu Qingming clearly said he was selling precious medicines, but he brought out spiritual medicines instead. Was he trying to sell spiritual medicines in conjunction with the medicines?

The thought flashed through her mind, and Chu Yao looked at Gu Qing with a smile, her fox-like eyes slanted upwards at the corners, exuding charm and allure.

"Young master, you are truly well-off."

"..."

Gu Qing was startled by the call and straightened her back.

"I have the precious medicine, but I wonder how much the fairy is willing to pay?"

"A cunning little thief," Chu Yao cursed under her breath.

As she expected, Gu Qing was going to sell the spiritual herbs at a high price, otherwise she could forget about buying the precious medicine.

"To be honest, I have plenty of useless spirit stones; you can have as many as you want, young master."

Chu Yao parted her fiery red lips slightly, stroked her jet-black hair, and smiled calmly.

Okay, you managed to show off... Gu Qing thought for a moment and took out three Blue Ice Lotus Seeds.

"Blue ice lotus seeds...not bad, do you have lotus root?"

Chu Yao's beautiful eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked.

"To be honest, I have plenty of useless precious medicines; you can have as many as you want, Fairy," Gu Qing said calmly.

Anyone can show off.

He's already shown his sincerity; if this vixen doesn't offer him a price that satisfies him, he'll just leave.

"Pfft! Giggle..."

Chu Yao covered her mouth and let out a melodious laugh, her eyebrows curving upwards, looking just like a seductive fox spirit.

"Okay, no more nonsense."

"I will buy these spiritual herbs from you for three million low-grade spirit stones."

"One Blue Ice Lotus Seed costs one million low-grade spirit stones. Is that satisfactory, young master?"

I'm very satisfied, extremely satisfied.

Gu Qing nodded.

The price was much higher than he had expected.

Coming to the capital to sell elixirs was indeed a wise move.

If this were in Maple Leaf City, it certainly wouldn't sell for that many spirit stones.

"If it were auctioned, how much would the lotus seeds fetch?" Gu Qing couldn't help but ask.

He suddenly realized that perhaps it wasn't that the fairy was offering a high price, but rather that poverty had limited his imagination, leading him to believe that the Blue Ice Lotus Seeds could only be sold for a few hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones.

"That depends on the situation."

Gu Qing wanted to hold out for a higher price, but Chu Yao wasn't angry at all. Instead, she explained with interest:

"Precious medicines are priceless treasures, and their value depends mainly on the target population."

"Blue Ice Lotus Seeds are usually snapped up by Purple Mansion Realm and Profound Core Realm cultivators. They'd sell everything they own to buy them, but the amount of spirit stones they can usually come up with is around one million."

"So the Blue Ice Lotus Seed is only worth this much."

"Of course, if you take them and sell them elsewhere, it's possible for the Blue Ice Lotus Seeds to fetch several million."

"I see." Gu Qing said, understanding dawning on her.

"Then... young master, will you sell it?" Chu Yao blinked her fox-like eyes.

"..."

"Sell!"

"I'll sell them all to you."

Although Chu Yao said that the Blue Ice Lotus Seeds could sell for millions, by the time Gu Qing arrived at that place, it would be too late.

As for the auction, who knows when the major auctions in the capital will start?

Moreover, auctions are very risky, with too many uncontrollable factors. If you happen to encounter a spoiled brat, you'll suffer a huge loss.

"Then let's talk about lotus root."

Chu Yao stopped smiling and stared intently at Gu Qing.

Her intuition told her that Gu Qing, that little thief, definitely had more good stuff.

An hour later, Gu Qing sold all his elixirs, cultivation techniques, martial arts skills, and even the ten-thousand-year-old cold iron heart to Chu Yao, this super-rich woman.

A total of 100 million high-grade spirit stones were sold.

Gu Qing could not hide his excitement. With 100 million spirit stones, his cultivation level could be improved rapidly.

After leaving the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty, Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief as his adoptive father gave him no further instructions.

After all, with such a large sum of money, it's hard for Chu Yao not to be tempted.

Gu Qing directly used the spatial runes to teleport tens of thousands of miles in an instant.

The distance that spatial runes can teleport increases with cultivation level.

The higher one's cultivation level, the farther one can teleport.

Furthermore, once he fully masters the spatial runes, he can even tear space apart.

...

"A heart of ten-thousand-year-old cold iron, three precious medicinal herbs... Could this brat have robbed a great cultivator's cave?"

"I haven't heard of any cultivator's cave dwelling ruins appearing in the Great Qian Kingdom recently."

Chu Yao looked at the treasure before her and murmured aloud.

"If Miss is interested in him, why don't I go and capture him?"

At this moment, the old woman standing to the side spoke in a low voice.

"Have you forgotten all the rules of Wanbaolou?"

Chu Yao's tone was cold.

"I haven't forgotten."

"But with this old servant's help, it will be done flawlessly, without anyone knowing," the old woman replied.

"It seems you really have forgotten. Copy the ancestral precepts three times, and do not use any cultivation techniques to assist you."

After finishing speaking, Chu Yao got up and left expressionlessly.

She was just curious; it wasn't enough for her to kill someone to find out the truth.

Moreover, was she afraid of not being able to succeed? No, she was just afraid that once she opened the door and tasted the sweetness, she would become uncontrollable.

The cultivation world is unfathomably deep; you might encounter a ghost any day.

Besides, which of the cultivators who can sell treasures is a simple character?

There are merchant guilds in the world that kill and plunder, but they all eventually disappeared into the annals of history.

The reason why Wanbaolou was able to expand throughout the Desolate Ancient Realm was not because of business acumen or strength, but because of its ancestral precepts.

"what?"

The old woman's face immediately lit up with praise.

The Chu family's ancestral precepts consist of hundreds of millions of words, all detailing the fates of merchants who committed murder and robbery only to be killed in return.

If she's not allowed to use her cultivation, how long will it take her to copy all that?
