With the Little Black Tower's overpowered function now available, Qin Guan knew he would need a large amount of cultivation resources. What he needed most right now was spirit stones, a massive quantity of them.

Leaving the cultivation room, Qin Guan arrived at the Nan Family's main hall.

In the hall, Nan Yunqi was discussing business with a group of managers from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. With the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's assistance these past few days, the Nan Family's business had been booming, raking in profits daily, and Nan Yunqi was busy and happy.

"Greetings, Young Hero Qin!"

Seeing Qin Guan walk in, several managers from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion hurried forward to pay their respects.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Qin Guan nodded to each of them in response.

"You're too kind, Young Hero Qin. It's a win-win cooperation, a win-win cooperation!"

A manager from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion said with a smile. Jiang Lianyue had repeatedly instructed them before leaving not to slight Qin Guan or the Nan Family in any way. Consequently, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was now accepting all orders from the Nan Family, big or small.

"Actually, I have something I'd like to ask the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion for help with."

Qin Guan smiled and produced a Storage Bag. "I'd appreciate it if the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion could help me sell these items for some money."

Upon hearing this, the manager from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion quickly took the Storage Bag. When he saw the contents inside, he was immediately startled.

Seeing the manager's reaction, Nan Yunqi and the others nearby also curiously leaned in. The moment they saw what was in the Storage Bag, they were no longer calm.

The Storage Bag contained over ten Second-grade Pills, four Soul Weapons, three Mysterious Tier Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills, as well as several First-grade Pills.

"These are all priceless treasures! Qin Guan, you want to sell them all?"

Nan Yunqi looked at Qin Guan with reluctance. He hadn't expected this fellow to have so many top-tier treasures.

Qin Guan nodded. "I'm short on spirit stones right now, and these things are useless to me. I'll sell them all for spirit stones."

Hearing that Qin Guan wanted spirit stones, Nan Yunqi asked:

"How many spirit stones do you need? The family business is about to get on track. I'll prepare some extra for you then."

Qin Guan was currently the Nan Family's pillar of strength. The Nan Family owed its current success to this excellent son-in-law. Even if a Low-grade Spirit Stone was worth three million gold, he, Nan Yunqi, wouldn't be stingy.

Qin Guan waved his hand and smiled:

"No need. The family is in its development stage now, and the expenses will surely be high. Please focus on managing the business. In about five or six days, the Spirit Sword Academy and the Cloud Mist Sect should be sending money."

Everyone was stunned for a moment upon hearing Qin Guan's words, but they quickly realized. These items in the Storage Bag were likely from Yan Rong and the Cloud Mist Sect's Black Dragon Protector.

This guy was truly amazing. He was treating the Spirit Sword Academy and the Cloud Mist Sect as his personal ATMs now.

Nan Yunqi looked cautiously at Qin Guan. "Are you confident they'll pay up?"

"I'll accept whatever they send," Qin Guan said with a smile.

"Haha, that's good, that's good!" Nan Yunqi burst into laughter upon hearing Qin Guan's words.

Actually, he had been quite worried about the Spirit Sword Academy and the Cloud Mist Sect these past few days.

He figured the news of them killing so many of their people two days ago had already reached the imperial capital. The Spirit Sword Academy and the Cloud Mist Sect must be furious by now. He couldn't help but feel a little scared, wondering what kind of powerful experts they would send next.

Seeing Qin Guan still so calm and composed now meant he had the confidence to handle it.

"Young Master Qin, your goods might not sell well in Luyun City!" the manager from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion said with difficulty at this moment.

"Why?" Qin Guan frowned.

"A single Soul Weapon like these costs forty to fifty million. I doubt anyone in Luyun City can afford to buy them right now. As for the Mysterious Tier Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills, their value is even greater, with starting bids of at least a hundred million!"

Qin Guan nodded slightly after hearing this. He hadn't expected the Mysterious Tier Cultivation Techniques to be so valuable.

"I believe if Young Master Qin has the chance to visit the imperial capital, you could put these items up for auction at our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion branch there. Their value might even double!" the manager from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion said, handing the Storage Bag back to Qin Guan.

"Alright, thank you for the reminder, old man!" Qin Guan put away the Storage Bag and then said to Nan Yunqi with a smile:

"Father-in-law, please worry about the spirit stones for me. Get me about a hundred or so to use for now. I'll pay you back when I have the money?"

"A, a hundred or so? Are you joking?" Nan Yunqi's mouth twitched rapidly.

"Young Master Qin, to be frank, even our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion only has about twenty Low-grade Spirit Stones in stock. Demand for such expensive and luxurious items is very low in a small place like this," the manager from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion said with a smile.

Qin Guan nodded slightly. It seemed he would have to make a trip to the imperial capital soon, or he would run out of spirit stones for cultivation.

Not long after, Qin Guan returned to his residence.

He saw Nan Rou sitting there doing needlework, and Qin Guan walked over with a smile.

Qin Guan hugged Nan Rou's soft waist from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. He smiled and asked, "Why aren't you cultivating? Doing needlework?"

Nan Rou smiled gently. "It's getting colder. I want to make a couple of thick clothes for you, husband."

"It's good to have a wife. Someone to care for and dote on you!"

Qin Guan kissed Nan Rou on the cheek. He then picked up an apple from the table and was about to take a bite when Nan Rou quickly said, "Husband, let me peel it for you before you eat!"
