I'm accumulating points in the cultivation world.

Qian Jingyuan looked at Tang Doudou for a long time before saying, "One hundred spirit stones for a piece the same size as before."

"Young Master Qian is indeed a businessman. Doesn't he understand the principle that scarcity increases value?" Tang Doudou mocked.

"Two hundred!" Qian Jingyuan continued to raise the price.

"One thousand!" Tang Doudou gave her price.

Qian Jingyuan pondered for a moment, "Three hundred, that's the most I can do!"

"Think about it, this huge piece of mine is enough for you to make hundreds of pills! Nine hundred, I won't sell it for less!"

After some haggling, the two agreed on a price of 600 spirit stones.

"If Young Master Qian wants to be the best at the Marrow Cleansing Pill, he'd better be careful lest someone steal the formula. After all, as I just said, scarcity makes things valuable!"

"Don't worry, no one here can leak this out," Qian Jingyuan said with a smile. "If it does leak, they'll know what they're facing! I just don't know about Miss Tang..."

Tang Doudou looked at Qian Jingyuan's eyes, which were smiling like a fox, cunning and greedy.

"Don't worry, I value my life very much!" Tang Doudou replied with a smile.

Tang Doudou exchanged 100 yuan worth of Longming Sand, and felt like she had gone from being penniless to being a little rich.

Tang Doudou knew this was risky, but now that she was living under someone else's roof, she had no choice but to do it.

She only has one week left before she's free!

Qian Jingyuan looked at the pill in his hand. The effects of this pill had been tested and were much stronger than the previous Marrow Cleansing Pill. It could also improve the quality of spiritual roots.

How did Tang Doudou come to be? And how did she know about the effects of Longmingsha?

He searched through many books, but there was no record of Long Mingsha in any of them.

He didn't believe that someone from a barren land could understand these things; Tang Doudou must have lied to him, even about the memory orb.

Qian Jingyuan found Tang Doudou's identity increasingly suspicious. But in this world, there was no power outside the control of the ten major families.

So, does that mean she came from the upper realms or some other parallel world?

Qian Jingyuan was secretly delighted; perhaps she was the key! However, he needed to think carefully about how to keep her by his side.

"What? You want to pursue Miss Tang?" Young Master Shen looked at Qian Jingyuan curiously. "The iron tree that has stood the test of time is finally blooming!"

"Just tell me how you plan to pursue her!"

“I have experience with this! With him right here beside you, it'll be a piece of cake! Let me tell you…”

Young Master Shen leaned closer to Qian Jingyuan and whispered something.

"Will this really work?" Qian Jingyuan asked doubtfully.

"Believe me, I've hooked up with over a dozen girls, and I've succeeded in doing it all this time!" Young Master Shen patted his chest and assured him.

Qian Jingyuan looked at Tang Doudou's house not far away and hesitated. Was Young Master Shen's method really effective?

I've given up on thinking about it; I'll just give it a try anyway.

Tang Doudou was cultivating when the system suddenly reminded her that Qian Jingyuan was standing outside the door.

Tang Doudou continued cultivating, as long as he didn't disturb her. She cultivated until the afternoon before stopping.

"That guy surnamed Qian has been waiting outside," the system reminded you.

"The sun must have risen in the west! As the saying goes, 'If someone is being unusually helpful, they're either up to no good or a thief!' If he likes to stand, let him stand!"

Qian Jingyuan was getting impatient. Sensing that there was no change in spiritual energy in the room, he went up and knocked on the door.

There was no sound inside.

"Tang Doudou!" Qian Jingyuan called out in a raised voice.

"What's wrong? Does Young Master Qian need something from me?" Tang Doudou opened the door helplessly.

"Can't I come to you if nothing happens?"

"It's fine, just stay as far away from me as possible, so I don't have to see you and get annoyed!" Tang Doudou said impatiently.

"Ha! You think you can take advantage of my good mood?"

"Isn't this the real Mr. Qian now? He must have taken the wrong medicine just now. Don't come looking for me if he takes the wrong medicine next time!" Tang Doudou said, and then slammed the door shut.

Qian Jingyuan was so angry that he kicked it away.

What kind of idea did Young Master Shen come up with? It's completely useless!

"Go ahead and kick it. It's your door anyway. I think that gate is pretty impressive. You'll only be truly amazing if you kick it down!"

This Tang Zhanyue is no ordinary girl; you can't use ordinary methods on her!

"Have you forgotten your place? You are still my maid."

"Alright, so you've remembered your status as a young master again. What, aren't all those people around you enough to serve you? You're trying to get attention from me now?"

"You! I'm speechless!" Qian Jingyuan said, shaking his head helplessly.

"Thank you for the compliment!" Tang Doudou said with a smile.

Tang Zhanyue is quite handsome when he doesn't open his mouth to speak, but unfortunately, he's completely ruined once he opens his mouth.

"If the young master has nothing else to do, he should go back. Otherwise, he'll just get angry here and have nowhere to vent his frustrations. If he gets sick from anger, I won't be responsible!"

"Speaking of which, there really is something!" Qian Jingyuan entered the room as if nothing was amiss and sat down at the table. "I've come, and you're not even going to serve me tea?"
