Qin Nanyue, What Are You Thinking?!

[Intermediate Mercenary Contract: Consumes Spirit Stones to hire a temporary mercenary puppet (Cultivation level selection: Spirit Transformation Perfection - 3 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones /day; Void Refinement Perfection - 30 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones /day; Integrated Body Perfection - 300 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones /day). The mercenary is absolutely loyal but has no independent judgment. The puppet automatically disappears upon expiration. A maximum of one mercenary can be hired at a time!]

Lu Yang looked at the Intermediate Mercenary Contract and nodded slightly.

Although he himself could use the [Power of Money] to break through his cultivation level and gain an improvement.

However, the price is much higher than hiring mercenaries.

It would take him over four billion to raise his cultivation to the Void Refinement Perfection, but hiring him for a day would only cost thirty million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!

He could even hire even stronger mercenaries Integrated Body Perfection!

If he were to rely on the Power of Money to break through to the Integrated Body Perfection, it would probably cost at least several hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stone, or even several hundred billion Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

Overall, this thing is pretty good.

However, this thing isn't very useful in the Canglan Realm.

After all, the upper limit of power in the Canglan Realm is only the Spirit Transformation Perfection, and Wang Da has already reached the Spirit Transformation Perfection stage, so he doesn't need mercenaries at all.

However, if he goes to the Spirit Realm later, this Intermediate Mercenary Contract will come in very handy.

Even in the Spirit Realm, a mercenary who has reached the Integrated Body Perfection would probably be considered a top-tier fighter!

Then Lu Yang remembered that he still had a Low-Level Mercenary Contract he hadn't used.

Unfortunately, the highest Low-Level Mercenary Contract can only hire mercenaries at the Nascent Soul Perfection, which seems to have little meaning for Lu Yang at the moment.

Only when there is a relative shortage of manpower will one hire someone to lend a hand.

Lu Yang shook his head inwardly, deciding not to think about it anymore.

At this point, he had finished tallying up all his gains from the past two days.

He stood up from the futon, stretched languidly, and his muscles cracked slightly.

Lu Yang pondered for a moment, then took out the peculiar stone tablet that Senior Sister Mu had given him. The surface of the stone tablet was pitted and covered with ancient and mysterious engravings. It was cold to the touch and carried an indescribable sense of weight.

After breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm stage, Lu Yang improved in all aspects. Even the "Metal Source Heaven-Reaching Record," which he had only gained some insights from, also yielded great results, with inspiration constantly flowing in.

Taking advantage of the current favorable time, Lu Yang planned to make the most of it and thoroughly deduce the "Metal Source Heaven-Reaching Record".

Lu Yang brewed himself a cup of Dao Comprehension Tea. The amber-colored tea rippled gently in the cup, and a delicate fragrance filled the cultivation room. Just one sip was enough to clear one's mind and make one's thoughts clear.

He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and completely immersed his mind in the stone tablet. Drawing on his profound understanding of the Great Dao of Metal during his Void Refinement Realm, he began to gradually summarize and deduce the "Metal Source Heaven-Reaching Record".

Inside the bedroom of the White Jade Palace.

Qin Nanyue's eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened her eyes, which still held a hint of tenderness and a sense of bewilderment after the initial excitement.

Soon, her eyes focused, she smelled a familiar scent, and the absurd scene from last night involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

Her pretty face immediately turned red, and she quickly turned to look around.

Jiang Shiqing was still fast asleep on one side, her bright and beautiful face showing signs of fatigue, but her cherry lips were slightly upturned, carrying a hint of indescribable satisfaction.

Qin Nanyue's lips twitched. This girl seemed to have a special fondness for dual cultivation. Despite having the lowest cultivation level, she was the most obsessed.

She was definitely the one who suffered the most.

Qin Nanyue didn't understand either; why was this guy so energetic?

Qin Nanyue struggled to sit up in bed, feeling the soreness spreading through her bones. She frowned involuntarily. After this, she didn't want to come back for the next seven days.

That pervert is a real pervert!

Qin Nanyue gritted her teeth and didn't disturb Jiang Shiqing, who was sleeping, lest she hug her again.

She tiptoed out of bed, used several Cleaning Techniques to clean herself up, took out a set of black tight-fitting clothes from her Storage Bag and changed into them, gathered her long hair behind her head and tied it into a neat high ponytail with a red rope.

She tiptoed open the door and slipped out of the bedroom.

Inside the hall, Liu Yaoyao was using her Cleaning Technique to clean the room. Her oval face was flushed with satisfaction, and her movements were full of captivating charm.

Even though Qin Nanyue herself is a woman, she has to admit that Senior Sister Yaoyao is truly feminine.

Hmm... like a vixen.

Hearing the noise, Liu Yaoyao turned around and saw Qin Nanyue. A teasing smile appeared on her lips, "Junior Sister Qin, have you rested well?"

Qin Nanyue retorted irritably, "Senior Sister Yaoyao, you're just like Shiqing, why did you drag me along too, making that guy so excited?"

Liu Yaoyao said with a half-smile, "I'm helping you, otherwise wouldn't you be suffering even more by yourself?"

Qin Nanyue opened her mouth, but for a moment she was speechless.

That's not wrong...

When three people are together, they can take turns to rest, which is easier than carrying the whole thing alone from beginning to end.

Qin Nanyue crossed her arms and said thoughtfully, "Indeed, that guy seems to be nearing his limit. With the three of us working together, he doesn't seem so scary after all."

Liu Yaoyao smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling. "So now you understand the good intentions Shiqing and I have put in, right?"

Qin Nanyue nodded silently.

Then she had a bold idea.

The three of them working together are almost evenly matched with that guy.

What if we add Yingying to the mix?

With the four of them together, wouldn't that make that pervert surrender?!

Thinking of how arrogantly he bullied her during their perverted dual cultivation, Qin Nanyue felt a surge of excitement.

I want him to surrender and know how powerful he is!

However, Qin Nanyue quickly realized what was happening. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she felt completely bewildered.

Qin Nanyue, what are you thinking about?!

What happened yesterday was just too absurd!

You want to drag Yingying along too?!

Could it be that I've really become a cultivator of the Heavenly Joy Sect?!

Qin Nanyue was momentarily disillusioned and felt completely numb.

Liu Yaoyao glanced at Qin Nanyue with some confusion. She didn't know what was wrong with her junior sister; she had suddenly changed her expression.

Liu Yaoyao tentatively called out, "Junior Sister Nanyue? What's wrong?"

Qin Nanyue snapped back to reality, quickly banishing the chilling thoughts from her mind. She coughed lightly and forced herself to remain calm, saying, "It's nothing. By the way, where's that big pervert?"

Liu Yaoyao smiled slightly, "Young Master is currently cultivating."

Qin Nanyue was immediately startled and quickly said, "Then I need to go cultivate too! This insane cultivation speed is too fast!"

She was originally two minor levels higher than this guy in terms of cultivation level.

As it turns out, this guy is now at the Foundation Establishment Realm, just like her!

Moreover, judging by this guy's speed, it probably won't be long before he breaks through again.

If I don't work harder, I'll be left far behind him!

That won't do!

He's already this arrogant at the Early-stage Foundation Establishment; what will he be like when he breaks through to the next level?

During dual cultivation, I'd probably really be like a toy, completely at his mercy.

The thought had barely crossed her mind when Qin Nanyue was startled again. Why was she still thinking about these things?!

It's all that pervert's fault!

She quickly said, "Senior Sister Yaoyao, I'm going to cultivate too!"

Liu Yaoyao was taken aback. "Aren't you going to eat something first? I've prepared quite a lot of Spirit Cuisine."

"No way! I'm not that kind of pervert; I don't have such high demands when it comes to food!"

With that, Qin Nanyue tossed her high ponytail and strode quickly to another cultivation room.

Liu Yaoyao smiled helplessly, glanced at the tightly closed cultivation room, thought for a moment, brewed herself a pot of Dao Comprehension Tea, and began to comprehend her family's inherited Cultivation Method, "The Record of Bewitching the Mind and Forgetting Worries".

She was also worried about being left behind by the young master.

However, unlike Qin Nanyue's concerns, what she worried about was that her cultivation level was far behind the young master's. If the young master thought she was useless and didn't want her anymore, she would probably want to die.
