Promise

"Husband, why do I feel like you've changed? What's really going on?"

As soon as Baili Qiuyue opened her eyes, she saw Lu Wanyuan nearby looking excited.

"Hehe, my cultivation realm has reached Qi Refining Level Three!"

Lu Wanyuan said proudly.

"Really? Have you really reached Qi Refining Level Three?"

Baili Qiuyue asked disbelievingly. When she was at Green Bamboo Peak, he was only at Qi Refining Level 1. Now he was at Qi Refining Level Three. How long had it been for him to break through two minor realms?

Upon hearing this, Lu Wanyuan immediately released his Qi Refining Level Three pressure.

"Wow, it's true! Husband, you are really at Qi Refining Level Three! I didn't expect that after leaving Green Bamboo Peak, you would advance two minor realms consecutively. This is incredible. I wonder if it's because you accumulated too much, and your mood changed after leaving Green Bamboo Peak, causing your cultivation to advance continuously."

Baili Qiuyue said thoughtfully.

"Mm, maybe. Wife, this is your spirit talisman. Seeing you always come back so late, I was afraid it wouldn't be safe on the road. This can be your trump card!"

This was a spirit talisman he had just obtained by using his divine sense to consume a 'First-grade High-grade Golden Sword Talisman' entry.

Then he handed the First-grade High-grade Golden Sword Talisman to Baili Qiuyue.

"Of course. Now that both of us have advanced, it's definitely something worth celebrating. Our future lives will surely get better and better as long as we work hard together!"

Baili Qiuyue immediately took it and said emotionally.

But the next moment, her entire face changed. At first, she thought Lu Wanyuan was giving her something ordinary. After all, she knew exactly how much wealth Lu Wanyuan had and what he could afford to buy her. Even their current house was rented by him gritting his teeth.

To alleviate his pressure, she had even taken the initiative to work at Osmanthus Pavilion, earning about five Spirit Stones a month.

But now, as soon as she touched the item, she felt a violent spiritual energy contained within it, which greatly surprised her.

She immediately held the Golden Sword Spirit Talisman in her hand and examined it carefully.

It was a palm-sized spirit talisman, surrounded by spiritual energy. From its appearance, it was clearly a First-grade High-grade Spirit Talisman, equivalent to the power of a single strike from a cultivator in the Late Qi Refining stage.

She never expected Lu Wanyuan to give her such a gift.

"Husband, where did you get this? This must be worth at least a hundred Spirit Stones. Where did you get so many Spirit Stones?"

Baili Qiuyue asked with some confusion.

"I told you I was helping someone look after their spirit field. I worked for free for the first month, clearing the land, and they didn't charge me rent!"

"I happened to have some skills, and we were able to harvest something. I sold it and earned some Spirit Stones. I was afraid you would be unsafe on your way back late at night, so I bought this for you as a trump card. Do you like it?"

"Thank you, husband. I really like this gift. This means that with this trump card, I will no longer be defenseless against cultivators in the Late Qi Refining stage!"

"You can't rely on this alone. Don't confront them head-on. This spirit talisman is just to give you some confidence!"

"The reality is, when facing cultivators with higher cultivation realms, try to avoid conflict. Dodging is the best approach. Protect your life first. It's not too late to get revenge when you have the strength. Without your life, nothing else matters!"

Lu Wanyuan cautioned as he looked at Baili Qiuyue, who was beaming with excitement.

"Mhm, I understand. I know what to do!"

Upon hearing this, Baili Qiuyue nodded immediately. Her husband was indeed right.

"That's good. Let me say it again, this is just a trump card. Don't pin all your hopes on it. The key is still your own cultivation realm and strength. How are you doing now? You've been cultivating here all night, you should have made some progress, right?"

"What progress? It's more than just progress! Last night I ate that spirit fish, and I didn't expect it to have such a great effect. Spiritual energy surged through my entire body, and I had no choice but to refine it all night!"

"I only finished refining it this morning. And now, I've already broken through to the Qi Refining third layer, advancing a minor realm! I never expected this. I wonder if I can eat this kind of fish again later. I feel like this fish was born to serve me; eating it has a huge effect on me!"

Hearing this, Lu Wanyuan showed an awkward expression and said, "Mhm, I'll try my best to get more of this spirit fish. If it really works for you!"

But when he thought about how this fish cost 20 Spirit Stones per jin, his heart bled. At least with his current conditions, he definitely couldn't afford to eat this spirit fish regularly.

Eating it this time was truly extravagant. However, it was a fortunate accident that allowed him to understand the value of this spirit fish. Of course, if the 70 Spirit Stones could increase his cultivation realm, then it was definitely worth the price.

But he definitely didn't have the conditions for it now. Yet, this also gave him a lot of motivation. If he wanted to eat this spirit fish often, he would have to work hard to earn Spirit Stones. Otherwise, he could only watch others eat it.

Of course, since this spirit fish had such an effect, did other spirit beasts and spirit birds also have similar effects?

It was just that to eat such things, one would definitely need a large amount of Spirit Stones to buy them.

He never expected that in this world, one still had to make money. It was just that in this world, it was earning Spirit Stones, which was truly similar to his previous life!

Especially now, hearing Baili Qiuyue still looking forward to the spirit fish, it put immense pressure on him!

"At least it's useful now. Whether it's useful later is unclear!"

Baili Qiuyue explained.

"That's good, then let's buy a few more to eat! Being able to improve one's strength is a rare opportunity. Since we can get it now, we must get it!"

Lu Wanyuan immediately declared, without any hesitation. This was his true thought, but the matter of earning Spirit Stones also needed careful consideration!

He had to solve the current problem first.

"Husband, you're so kind! It seems I didn't misjudge you or follow the wrong person!"

"Of course! Absolutely!"

Lu Wanyuan patted his chest confidently.

"Oh, I forgot. I have four bottles of Qi Gathering Pills here. I'll give you two bottles now. If I don't have any later, I'll give you more!"

After speaking, Lu Wanyuan immediately took out two bottles of Qi Gathering Pills from his Storage Bag and handed them to the other person.

"Okay, I just advanced to Qi Refining Level Three, and I need to consolidate my cultivation. I won't be polite with you!"

Baili Qiuyue took them and said happily.

"Alright, I'm going out. Be careful at work!"

After speaking, Lu Wanyuan immediately opened the door and walked out of the room.

He looked around and found that the doors of the surrounding neighbors were still closed.

Then, he lowered his head and walked towards Spring Wind Road No. 9527.

Entering the residence and arriving at the backyard, he saw that the Yellow Barley Malt Grass harvested yesterday had actually regrown, with brand new tender shoots!

Seeing this situation, he used a 'Minor Accomplishment Spirit Rain Technique' entry.

This nourished the entire five mu of spirit soil.

Then, he sowed seeds on the other four mu of spirit soil.

Thus, all five mu of his Spirit Fields were now planted with Yellow Barley Malt Grass!

A few days later, he saw that the tender shoots had emerged from the soil, and the mu that had been harvested was growing even more vigorously.

But if he waited like this, it would take at least three months for it to mature.

If that were the case, he wouldn't be able to fulfill his promise to Baili Qiuyue, as he needed to bring Spirit Fish to his wife and couldn't break his word!

The problem was that this was his only source of income right now, and he had no other avenues.

Fortunately, he still had two 'Ripen' entries!

Therefore, he decided to use these 'Ripen' entries to overcome this difficulty!
