You are better with market prices.
If you need them for crafting magic artifacts, feel free to use them!”
“That’s not going to work.
You’re the man, you should be in charge of the finances.
I’m not exactly poor myself.
You, on the other hand, you’re soon going to complete your Foundation Establishment, when you go out, would you want people to call you a pauper?
I can’t stand to see you in such destitute condition.
...
Later, I’ll make you a set of high-level second-rank magical robes to wear, and Xiaohei too, we’ll need to make it a set of beast saddle.
After all, it is your mount, it should appear rather grand…”
Looking at He Yingyu, who had left her dignified demeanor behind to ramble, Chen Dengming didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Okay, now Heizi wants to join in as well?
He was about to say that there was no need for such extravagance.
They just started living a better life, they should still be frugal.
It would be enough to make him one set; Heizi could wait.
Suddenly, the formation outside the cave mansion was triggered—it was a visitor.
“Daoist Friend Chen, it’s me, old Zhou, Zhou Yunji.
I heard that you’ve returned, so I came to visit at once!”
Chen Dengming was about to open the formation when he saw He Yingyu blushed and rose to point at the door, then took refuge in the side room.
His senior sister turns out to be thin-skinned.
Chen Dengming went out of the cave mansion only to see Zhou Yunji, flushed and dressed in a beautiful robe, walking in and was astonished.
“Daoist friend Zhou, did you strike it rich?
That robe, it’s a high-grade second-rank robe, isn’t it?”
Zhou Yunji let out a hearty laugh, “Your perception is exceptional, Daoist friend Chen.
But this isn’t high-quality.
It’s a top-grade second-rank Cloud Python Robe.
When I saw the name of this robe, I thought it suited me well, so I bought it.”
Chen Dengming was startled, looking at Zhou Yunji radiating confidence and generosity.
It felt like just over a year had passed, yet Zhou Yunji seemed like a completely different person.
“Huh?”
Seemingly detecting the surprise in Chen Dengming’s eyes, Zhou Yunji immediately chuckled, “However, Brother, although I’m doing well, it’s still not as good as you.
You’re already a Great Cultivator of the late Foundation Establishment stage, and everyone is saying that you have won over Master He of our sect.
Master He is…
well, she’s beautiful and talented—Guan Le has been infatuated with her for years.
So brother, how did you!”
“Ahem!”
Chen Dengming immediately interrupted.
Sister He was listening behind the wall in his room.
To discuss such matters was to invite embarrassment.
He changed the topic and laughed, “Brother Zhou, let’s not talk about that.
Let’s talk about you instead.
Everyone knows about my situation, but I don’t know about yours.”
Zhou Yunji interrupted but perked up at the words and smirked mischievously.
“You clever boy, you want to hear my story?
I will tell you.
Actually, the reason I came is that I have a lucrative opportunity and I wanted to invite you, a Great Cultivator of the late Foundation Establishment stage to join.
Remember back in the day when we were on the battlefield together in the northeastern corner, when we launched surprise attacks together?
We were quite a sight!”
…
A cup of tea later.
Zhou Yunji left with regret but still managed to put on a polite smile, leaving behind the gifts he had brought.
Chen Dengming looked at the gifts left on the table.
These were Zhou Yunji’s congratulatory gifts for him and He Yingyu’s imminent union.
But this matter! though the pieces seem to be falling into place, it was not official yet.
Chen Dengming naturally refused vehemently but ended up accepting it when Zhou Yunji wouldn’t take no for an answer.
According to Zhou Yunji, he was going to leave the sect and go far away, and he did not know when he would return.

So, his congratulatory gift must be given out early to avoid impropriety, but he also felt regretful that Chen Dengming had declined to join his venture.
“I didn’t expect it…it’s only been a little over a year, and Junior Brother Zhou seems to have changed…he’s become a bit greedy for quick success, treading on the wrong path.”
He Yingyu, who had listened to the entire conversation from the side room, emerged with a sigh.
“You feel the same?”
Chen Dengming frowned and shook his head, “Well, perhaps it’s my fault.
I taught him how to launch a surprise attack on the cultivator from Soul Devouring Sect, back on the battlefield in the northeastern corner.
After that, getting money and merit from the battlefield became too easy, and he kept hanging around there, and everything went his way.
He made a fortune many times over.
Now that the war is ended, he is not used to his peaceful life.
He got used to money coming in fast, and now he’s spending it just as quickly.
Now he wants to take risks again and even invited me…”
He Yingyu moved closer, “The reason he thought of you is likely because your power has increased.
As a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, you’re worth pursuing.
I’m glad you’re clear-headed.
This thing about Ruins Cave Mansion he’s talking about…are there not happenings like this in Cultivation World every year?
Ultimately, how many people can smoothly acquire treasures…ah.”
Chen Dengming nodded, “When Brother Zhou invited me to the battlefield, I refused, and I will do the same now.
I will not take risks lightly unless there is a compelling reason.
Currently, we have enough money, so there is no urgency.”
He Yingyu smiled, “Junior brother, you are now complete in both wealth and lawland, so you certainly can’t take risks lightly.”
She said, blushing slightly as she opened the congratulatory gift and then covered her mouth in surprise.
Chen Dengming was also astonished.
“Ten top-grade Spirit Crystals.
Brother Zhou, he really treats me generously…”
He Yingyu, “This also explains that he has indeed made a fortune over the years, being generous, no wonder he can’t stop.
The robe he is wearing, I think would be worth about twenty top-grade Spirit Crystals.”
Chen Dengming put away the gift and handed it to He Yingyu, “Sister, take note of this gift.
I once warned Brother Zhou not to take risks outside.
Sooner or later there will be trouble.
Now, all I can do is wish him all the best in his adventures.”
“You want to…” He Yingyu was quick to understand, seeing the look in Chen Dengming’s eyes, she already knew his intention.
Her heart warmed, and she nodded smilingly.
After agreeing with He Yingyu on a quiet cultivation period for some time to prepare for the completion of the Foundation Establishment.
Chen Dengming then saw He Yingyu off.
And then began his cultivation in the cave mansion.
Over the past nearly three months, he had not properly sat down to cultivate.
In Nanxun, a place devoid of Spiritual Energy, cultivation was simply not possible.
Being able to maintain his cultivation level was already good enough.
Therefore, over the past three months, the progress of his Changchun Skill cultivation has plateaued.
As for life span, he had lost a total of 53 years due to the life-threatening battles he had been involved in.
Chen Dengming focused on observing his current condition.
“Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator[Chen Dengming]
Life: 87/391/789
Spiritual Root: Metal, Wood (Top-grade 100/100)
Martial Arts:”Chen Family Martial Arts Compendium”(Extraordinary 19/100)
Daoist Techniques:”The Rejuvenation Skill”(Proficient 32/100),”Longevity Spring Skill”(Seventh Level 28899/40000), others omitted…”
If I start cultivating the Longevity Spring Skill with full effort now, without interruption every day, I would naturally break through to the eighth level of the Longevity Spring Skill in about 179 days.
Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment completion…will take…five years?
Sister suggested that after one month, when summer ends, we should reconvene at the old place in the pool to draw lightning.
If I attempt this for myself, I wonder if I can speed up the cultivation progress?”
As Chen Dengming pondered, a stroke summoned the Soul Snatching Array Disk from the Soul House and his storage bag.
Within the Soul House, the Mini Array Spirit ‘ya-hu’ fluttered out and started dancing after activating the Array Disk.
This long-awaited dance, the Mini Array Spirit seemed to be in high spirits, revealing an impeccable appearance and posture.
Xu Wei, who floated out from the Soul House, was seeing this grand event for the first time and was taken aback, her pretty face looking odd.
But soon, seeing Chen Dengming only grinned as he watched and cultivated, it seemed this was the most relaxed and enjoyable way to cultivate, not tedious at all.
It dawned on Xu Wei why Chen Dengming was so interested in dull cultivation in the past.
“Elder Brother Chen, I, I will join Ling’er to dance to help your practice.”
Xu Wei floated, dancing with the Mini Array Spirit.
She was also proficient in this area; every fingertip and stride she made was filled with attractive beauty, overflowing with enthusiasm.
Chen Dengming was astounded, somewhat caught between laughter and tears.
He really was just cultivatin earnestly.
Xu Wei had joined in haphazardly.
Now these two souls, floating and dancing, one more intense than the other, were simply about to lift someone’s cultivation to the heavens.
That must be how the Jade Emperor trained.
Laughing for a while, Chen Dengming quickly calmed his mind and focused on cultivation.
If you want to master a skill, you have to put in hard work.
In five days, Sect Leader Qiu will return, and by then, he plans to seize this opportunity to ask the Sect Leader how to join the Longevity Sect in the future.
Before joining the Longevity Sect, it is crucial to take the time to accumulate strength and foundation….!
