After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

As soon as Xu Qingman and Yu Jinchen entered the shop specializing in elixirs and herbs, a Foundation Establishment stage shopkeeper greeted them with a smile, "Greetings, seniors. May I ask what you would like to order?"

Yu Jinchen asked, "We gathered some spiritual herbs in the Dragon Hidden Mountains. I wonder if your shop can accept them?"

"Yes, yes, we accept all kinds of spiritual herbs and fruits. Please follow me." The waiter said, leading the two of them into the shop and pouring them a cup of spiritual tea.

Xu Qingman and the other person took a sip of tea and then took out the spiritual herbs and fruits that they had stored in their storage rings for sale.

Wow, I actually found fire lotus, and there are five of them at once!

The shopkeeper spotted the fire lotus flowers at a glance and came over with a smile to personally greet the two of them.

"You two are quite lucky to have even managed to collect such a spiritual herb as the Fire Lotus. Since you have chosen to sell to our shop, I certainly won't treat you unfairly and will buy from you at the highest price."

Yu Jinchen asked with a smile, "I wonder what price the shopkeeper would like to offer for these few fire lotuses?"

"Haha, how about 600 high-grade spirit stones per flower? That's the highest purchase price in the city in recent years."

Seeing that the price was higher than they had expected, Yu Jinchen and Xu Qingman exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.

Then, they sold him some spirit herbs that they didn't need for the time being, but which were in large quantities. In total, they sold him 3,105 high-grade spirit stones.

The shopkeeper had a lot of spirit stones, so he even gave them a storage bag worth more than a dozen high-grade spirit stones. Seeing that the shopkeeper was relatively easy to talk to, Yu Jinchen took out another Heavenly Origin Fruit.

The shopkeeper stared intently at the Heavenly Origin Fruit in his hand, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

"Fellow Daoist, are you willing to sell your Heavenly Origin Fruit? Our shop is willing to buy it at a high price." The shopkeeper's tone was urgent, no longer as calm as before.

Yu Jinchen sighed before saying, "Then it depends on the price your shop offers. If it weren't for the fact that I need to prepare more protective items for the younger generation in my family during this beast tide, I wouldn't be willing to sell such a treasure."

The shopkeeper understood what he meant. Indeed, if there were no other way, who would be willing to part with such a treasure? If it were saved for when one's lifespan was nearing its end and one's cultivation level was slow to improve, it could grant an extra hundred years.

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and asked, "How about ten thousand high-grade spirit stones?"

Finally, after some back-and-forth bargaining, in addition to the 10,000 high-grade spirit stones, they also had to add a high-level pill worth 1,000 high-grade spirit stones.

When Xu Qingman and her companion left the shop, they not only had more than 13,000 high-grade spirit stones, but also a sufficient supply of high-level pills.

After leaving the shop, the two sold all the demonic beasts in their storage rings. Perhaps because there were more demonic beasts here, the prices weren't as high as they had been in Yangcheng.

Next, they bought many high-grade magical artifacts, talismans, and other defensive items. Seeing that one shop had a magical robe with good defensive effects, the two of them spent a fortune to each buy two more.

After finishing shopping and returning to the inn, I only had a little over five thousand spirit stones left from selling the items. Money really doesn't last long!

They only managed to sell one Heavenly Origin Fruit; otherwise, they would have had to spend their entire savings. Before, when they finished mining spirit stones on Thunderstone Island, Xu Qingman was quite pleased with herself for having over 900,000 high-grade spirit stones.

But right now, with all the money they have, they can't even afford a decent magical artifact.

It should be noted that the treasures that can be called magic weapons are the worst; there are also magic tools, immortal artifacts, divine artifacts, and so on.

Even the lowest-grade mortal-rank magic weapon costs tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones. A yellow-rank weapon costs hundreds of thousands. As for the higher-grade Xuan-rank, Di-rank, and Tian-rank weapons, their values ​​are beyond Xu Qingman's wildest imagination.

Sigh, we're still too poor. No wonder so many cultivators are willing to risk coming to the Dragon Hidden Mountains to search for treasure.

Not long after Xu Qingman and the others returned to the inn, the rest of the people also returned.

Since they were preparing to participate in the fight against the beast tide, everyone decided to stay home and use this time to cultivate diligently. Even if they couldn't improve their cultivation level, it would at least help them consolidate their strength.

Xu Qingman and the other woman didn't waste any time. They hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign at the door and then went into the space to cultivate.

Although the spiritual energy of the Lingchuan Continent is no weaker than that of the air, a day outside is equivalent to a year in this space. These are extraordinary times, and we should focus on improving our cultivation.

Afterwards, the two secluded themselves in the space for over twenty years. Once finished, Xu Qingman's cultivation, which had been stuck at the late Golden Core stage, finally loosened. She only needed to exit the space and undergo the tribulation lightning to become a Nascent Soul cultivator.

To celebrate this happy occasion, the two had a grand celebration online, and in a way they hadn't used in a long time.

After another round of couples' activities, Yu Jinchen put his arm around Xu Qingman, and the two leaned their heads together intimately.

Yu Jinchen kissed her pink lips and said softly, "Manman, let's have a child when we get back?"

Thinking about having a little girl who looks like Manman in the future, sweetly calling him "Daddy," Yu Jinchen's eyes were full of longing.

Xu Qingman nodded, "Okay, we'll get it when we get back."

Ever since Little Stone learned that they had come to the Lingchuan Continent, he had been excitedly shouting in Xu Qingman's mind, urging her to get married quickly so that he could be born sooner.

Seeing his expression, Xu Qingman teased him, asking if Yu Jinchen was now a qualified father.

“Yes, you’re qualified. How could you not be qualified? You two are both so good-looking. I’m sure I can be even better than in my previous two lives.”

Thinking of Little Stone's arrogant reply, Xu Qingman smiled even more gently.

After the two had enjoyed their time together, Xu Qingman decided to go out and find a place to undergo her tribulation.

In a place like this, they dared not let Yu Jinchen take her out with the spatial ability. There were high-level cultivators everywhere, and if they were not careful, they might be doomed.

As soon as she stepped out of the space, she could sense tribulation clouds approaching. This was probably not the first time the inn had encountered something like this, because someone immediately came over to take her outside the city to undergo the tribulation and quickly threw a talisman that suppressed spiritual power onto her.

Of course, Xu Qingman had to pay for the spirit talisman herself, fifty high-grade spirit stones, not a single one less.

Although this tribulation still consisted of nine lightning strikes, it was significantly stronger than before. Nevertheless, Xu Qingman passed through it unscathed and became a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage.

Both of them were excited about the result, as advancing to the Nascent Soul stage at this time would provide them with an extra layer of safety when the beast tide arrives.

At this moment, City Lord Ji Hanzhou was handling matters in his mansion when an anxious Nascent Soul elder rushed in. He immediately shouted, "City Lord, something terrible has happened! According to the cultivators we sent out to investigate, a massive demonic beast is rushing towards our Dragon Hidden City from the east!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Hanzhou's face grew serious.
