Nine Apertures Spirit Connecting Pill

As a cultivator, Lin Yuanxi was quick to adjust her emotions. She returned to normal after only a few minutes of floating, and her expression had returned to calm.

"When will you marry me?" Lin Yuanxi asked.

"What?" Yang Ning exclaimed in surprise, "No, how did it get to the point of discussing marriage?"

"You don't want to marry me?" Lin Yuanxi blinked, looking puzzled. Didn't you just praise me for being incredibly beautiful?

In this day and age, saying such things is tantamount to expressing love!

"No, but isn't this too hasty? How about we start dating first and get to know each other better?" Yang Ning asked cautiously.

What is love?

In an era where marriages are entirely arranged by parents and matchmakers, love seems like a truly novel concept.

"Do you know what a child bride is?" Yang Ning explained using local slang, "It means we'll get married someday, but not yet!"

"I understand!" Lin Yuanxi nodded, only then remembering that Yang Ning was only 12 years old!

But looking at his achievements, who would think he's only 12 years old!

Then a look of curiosity appeared on her face. "I've never been a child bride before, I'll study hard!"

"Uh," Yang Ning waved his hand in front of Lin Yuanxi and asked, "Wait, why do you suddenly want to marry me? Don't you hate marriage?"

"I don't dislike marriage!" Lin Yuanxi asked, "Isn't marriage a natural thing?"

That's how my family has always taught me since I was little!

"Then why did you refuse the engagement with Wang Yu?" Yang Ning asked again.

"How did you know?" Lin Yuanxi was taken aback, then her face flushed. "Well, I've never even met him, and his reputation is terrible. I didn't want to marry him, so I mustered up the courage to ask my father to postpone the engagement."

And I already have someone in my heart!

"Uh..." Yang Ning blinked. "I thought you were a modern, independent woman like Nalan Yanran. So you don't hate marriage, you just hate Wang Yu?"

That's normal. Even in modern times, where feminism has been fought for decades, independent women are still a rare group, let alone in ancient times when there was no sign of it at all.

If a person receives traditional moral education from childhood, how can she possibly develop an independent mindset?

"So you don't mind that I'm only at the Body Tempering Triple Layer?" Yang Ning asked. "You're a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, there's such a big difference in our cultivation levels!"

"Cultivation level can be caught up!" Lin Yuanxi smiled, then suddenly remembered something. With a flick of her sleeve, a silver box engraved with nine silver dragons appeared in her hand. "This is for you!"

"What is this? Can I take a look?" Yang Ning asked, taking the box.

"Of course, it's for you!" Lin Yuanxi said.

"This box seems to be made of very unusual materials. It's not ordinary silver, damn it!" Yang Ning opened the box and saw a white jade-colored pill wrapped in silk inside. It had nine orifices on it and was emitting a misty aura!

Although he had never seen this kind of pill before, its appearance was too obvious!

So, this is. "The Nine Apertures Spirit Connecting Pill?"

"Yes!" Lin Yuanxi nodded with a smile, "I know you like weapon crafting, which might interfere with your cultivation, so I found this for you. This way, even if you spend most of your time crafting weapons, you can still break through to the Qi Refining Stage!"

"No, this, isn't this one of the three great divine pills? How come you... uh..."

That's right. Even if the three divine pills of the Physical Body Realm are extremely rare, who is Lin Yuanxi? She's from the Lin family of Nanlin. How could she not obtain the Nine Aperture Divine Pill?

Even a branch of Lin Jingyun's lineage has a way to obtain the Exquisite Pill!

"What 'Three Great Divine Pills'? It's just a rumor from the outside world!" Lin Yuanxi laughed. "I know several divine pills that are no less powerful than the Nine Apertures Spirit Connecting Pill, but they're not known to the outside world! For example, the Mountain River Pill that the sect rewards during the Outer Disciple' competition, the Celestial Phenomenon Pill of the Tianyi Sect, and the Dragon Pattern Pill of the Yiyuan Pill Cauldron Sect. Compared to these major sects' most prized pills, the 'Three Great Divine Pills' should be the easiest to obtain!"

Yang Ning was astonished. So the reason why the three great divine pills are called divine pills is because they can be obtained from the outside world.

The better things never flow to the outside world, so the outside world doesn't even know their names?

"Even so, this is still too precious." Yang Ning hesitated, after all, he didn't need the Nine Apertures Spirit Connecting Pill, he believed he could break through to the Qi Refining Stage.

If we take it, we'll owe a lot more money!

"Although it's precious, it's of little use to me!" Lin Yuanxi looked at Yang Ning earnestly, her eyes shining. "If a single pill can help you reach the inner sect as soon as possible, then what's there to be reluctant about?"

"Since that's the case, I'll accept it!" Seeing Lin Yuanxi's resolute expression, Lin Yuanxi knew that she couldn't refuse.

Besides, so be it. Yang Ning believed that he could only reciprocate Lin Yuanxi's kindness with even more!

Seeing Yang Ning put the pills away, Lin Yuanxi smiled shyly. She was a traditional woman. Now that she had made up her mind about Yang Ning and received his response, she would regard Yang Ning as her one and only for the rest of her life.

At this moment, you don't even feel that you are making a sacrifice; instead, you feel satisfied because you can do something for him.

"Oh, right, there's also the issue of luck!" Lin Yuanxi thought of this again and asked, "The sect's Peerless Divine Abilities require a large amount of luck to cultivate. I also have a force under my command. Do you think we should send them to the wasteland to establish a kingdom, or to the Southern Sea to participate in the War of a Hundred Nations?"

Yang Ning was speechless. "Are you not giving me any chance to try?"

"Didn't you want to refine weapons?" Lin Yuanxi blinked. "You're destined to become the greatest Artifact Forging Master in Taiheng. Let me handle this small matter of cultivation for you!"

"Uh..." So it's all my fault for my persona. She thought my mind was entirely on weapon crafting, so she wanted to solve my worries about cultivation.

This logic seems sound, doesn't it?

"Does participating in the War of a Hundred Nations bring good fortune?" Yang Ning asked.

"Yes!" Lin Yuanxi said, "That area was set up with an array by the predecessors of my sect and the Tianyi Sect. Those who participate in the war will also put their luck on it, and the luck of the losers will be plundered!"

"Does the Tianyi Sect also need luck?" Yang Ning asked.

"No need, Tianyi Sect needs territory!" Lin Yuanxi said, "Tianyi Sect's Supreme Dao Arts is called the Great Celestial Phenomenon Art, which requires sufficient territory to perform."

This was a secret, but Lin Yuanxi just blurted it out.

However, the dragon race does indeed control celestial phenomena.

After I obtained Zhao's Dragon Pearl, I can also control certain celestial phenomena, at least thunder, rain, and wind. What's the difference between my superpower and the Great Celestial Phenomenon Art?

"What's the difference between these two?" Yang Ning asked.

"The fortune gained from establishing a nation is more stable, but very weak!" The little girl counted on her fingers. "After all, it's building a country from scratch, and you won't see any results without hundreds of years of development. The fortune from the War of a Hundred Nations is quite surging. According to a senior brother who participated, he fought for four years, annexed fifteen countries, and the fortune he gained allowed his cultivation to rise three levels. But the risk is also very high. If you fail, you might not be able to recover for years or even decades!"

Yang Ning nodded; he had guessed the same thing.

"But you have my back, I will pray for you!" Lin Yuanxi said confidently.

"Let's forget about it, I won't take either of them!" Yang Ning shook his head and said.

Lin Yuanxi blinked. "Without these two, where would the luck come from?"

"I want to try my Financial Luck!" Yang Ning thought for a moment, then replied.
