#443 - Wanbao Pavilion, Beauty Grace
In the end, the Daoist Master still politely declined Amina's kindness.
Wang Jixuan couldn't really figure out what he felt for Amina. His heart was still occupied, and when he closed his eyes, he still saw the mechanical girl who remained in the past.
Moreover, to be realistic.
Amina has a long lifespan.
Once this relationship is established, it will inevitably be long-lasting.
Amina is a beautiful woman, with an impeccable figure and face. Although her personality has some flaws, she is also very cheerful when she becomes a smaller version of herself.
Unfortunately, what Wang Jixuan is thinking more about now is the matter of immortality.
Therefore, he cannot respond for the time being.
'Let's settle down a bit later and see if I can establish myself in the Youbao Realm.'
Wang Jixuan's primordial spirit returned to his body, and he sat quietly on the bed. Before long, he concentrated and entered a state of enlightenment.
For a moment, he seemed to stand between heaven and earth, free and unrestrained, washing away the lead and returning to his true self.
However, this state was difficult to maintain, and Wang Jixuan only caught a glimpse of it in this new world before returning to normal cultivation.
This seems to be the benefit of cultivating in the True World.
A shallow smile hung on the corner of the Daoist Master's mouth, and he looked forward to future cultivation even more.
… …
Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
Wang Jixuan looked up at the vertical plaque on the pavilion, holding a jade talisman with the number of contribution points written on it, and looked around outside the door.
A familiar greeting came from the side.
"Fellow Daoist, why don't you go in?"
The Daoist Master turned his head and saw Huizhi Sanren in a white dress walking slowly, smiling at Wang Jixuan.
Daoist Wang cupped his hands in greeting and said with a smile, "I see that this place is surrounded by formations, and I don't know if I can break through."
"Fellow Daoist, you can enter the formation by hanging your identity jade token by your hand."
"Oh?" Wang Jixuan did as he was told and entered with Huizhi Sanren. The formation really did not stop him.
Inside the pavilion, there were huge shelves, each filled with various storage magic treasures. There was also a small teleportation array here, and it was unknown where it led.
Wang Jixuan's spiritual consciousness swept over.
There was an old man on the second floor whose aura and strength were definitely above the Mahayana stage cultivator, and seemed to be comparable to the branch hall master Yin Lin, but this old man seemed to be drunk.
On the first floor, there were two female cultivators in the Integration and Tribulation stages, both with young faces and beautiful figures.
However, this level of beauty can still be considered… ordinary modeling by the Creator for female cultivators.
These two women were also familiar with Huizhi Sanren.
"Oh? A newcomer? He looks quite handsome."
"Our Tianluo has recruited someone again! Congratulations, I thought no one would join us anymore!"
This joking remark made Daoist Wang a little more apprehensive about his future situation.
The Daoist Master cupped his hands and said, "Greetings to the two fellow Daoists, I just arrived yesterday, a trainee Tianluo member of our Tianluo."
Puchi!
The woman in the green dress covered her mouth and giggled: "When did a trainee Tianluo member pop up! You are really funny, do you have a Daoist partner? This sister is from the Hundred Flowers Valley and cultivates the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra. Dual cultivation is very beneficial."
She was talking to Wang Jixuan, but she was actually looking at Huizhi Sanren, with a lot of mischief in her eyes.
Huizhi Sanren just smiled and said nothing.
Wang Jixuan could only wave his hands repeatedly.
The woman in the red dress scolded: "Don't tease him, your Jade Maiden Heart Sutra has already been broken, dual cultivation is just taking advantage of others!"
"Oh, don't expose me, I still want to see Huizhi get angry."
Huizhi Sanren calmly went to the side to pour tea and said with a smile: "You should exchange treasures for him first, don't cheat him, don't put out the first page."
Wang Jixuan blinked.
What's the trick here?
Sure enough, the two women took away a piece of the wooden planks on the long table and kept teasing Huizhi Sanren.
Huizhi Sanren's expression did not change much, but she fought back lightly on the mouth. Before long, she came over with tea.
Wang Daochang was already focused on looking at the items on the wooden planks.
These are the various treasures that can be exchanged.
These items are just the main menu, and each option has a corresponding submenu.
Here, the elixirs alone are divided into six categories: improving cultivation, healing and saving lives, breaking through bottlenecks, restoring mana, prolonging life, and other miscellaneous items.
Wang Jixuan found an option to improve his cultivation and was handed a wooden plank with dozens of elixirs written on it, as well as the exchange contribution and quantity limit for each elixir.
The cheapest [High-Grade Spirit Gathering Pill] only requires three contribution points.
The most expensive [Immortal-Grade Spirit Injection Pill] requires three thousand contribution points.
This is just a consumable elixir!
When Wang Daochang saw this, he thought that he didn't have many contribution points, but when he looked carefully, he saw a [Mixed Yuan Spirit God Pill] that he was particularly familiar with, which Wangxian Valley had treasured for a long time and was reluctant to let his disciples eat. The exchange only required fifty contribution points, and he couldn't help but look forward to the Immortal-Grade Spirit Injection Pill.
"Two fellow Daoists," Wang Jixuan pointed to the elixir and asked, "Why is this thing so expensive?"
The woman in green covered her mouth and chuckled: "An elixir from the Immortal World, do you think it's precious or not?"
"This elixir can help you cross a small realm in the Mahayana stage with just one pill, but you can only take two pills before becoming an immortal, otherwise there will be elixir poison."
Wang Jixuan's eyes widened.
Cross a small realm in the Mahayana stage?
Then, if he waits until the Mahayana stage is complete and then uses it, wouldn't he be able to try to reach a higher Great Perfection realm?
Wang Jixuan made a decisive decision: "Give me…"
"Hey, fellow Daoist, don't get excited," the woman in red persuaded, "Although immortal pills are good, they are ultimately external forces. There are also magic weapons, techniques, formations, talismans, etc. here. It's not too late for fellow Daoists to look at them all."
The woman in green asked strangely: "Do you have three thousand points? What great thing did you do?"
Huizhi Sanren said lightly: "The number of dark cultists who died in the hands of Fellow Daoist Wang should be dozens, and there are also three Mahayana elders."
Both Xiao Hong and Xiao Lv were startled and stared at Wang Jixuan as if they were looking at a monster.
Daoist Wang smiled shyly: "They fell into my ambush, and it wasn't just me who took action. All the experts of our Tianluo were also working hard to kill the enemy."
Wang Jixuan seemed to have thought of something and asked with a smile: "Can I exchange the corpses and belongings of the Dark Cult Mahayana elders for points?"
"Uh, the nose of a Dark Cult Mahayana elder can be exchanged for a thousand points."
Wang Daochang took out a storage magic weapon, which contained three corpses that had already been looted of their treasures.
Xiao Lv stood up suddenly, grabbed the purse, and ran to the second floor.
The woman in red whispered: "I was rude before, please don't blame me, Senior."
"Sister is being polite, I'll continue to look."
Daoist Wang sighed inwardly.
This is how their cultivation world is, strength determines everything.
Soon, Daoist Wang found what he wanted.
He originally thought that he could exchange immortal artifacts here, but he only found a batch of top-grade magic weapons refined by immortals, which were still a bit short of real immortal artifacts, but their power was much greater than the treasures refined by mortal refiners.
The Daoist Master searched around and finally simply took out paper and pen and made a list.
He wanted two Spirit Injection Pills, twelve high-grade spirit pills for breaking through realms, immortal techniques [Lightning Flash] [Three Thousand Thunder Strikes], twelve types of trapped illusion formations, five top-grade defensive magic weapons, and some refining materials.
It cost a total of 23,000 contribution points, leaving a balance of 17,000.
Xiao Lv and Xiao Hong were busy, and various treasures were quickly placed in front of Wang Jixuan.
The Daoist Master was satisfied and carefully put away these things, then took out two magic weapons he had refined from his sleeve, a hairpin and a bracelet, and handed them over.
"This is the first time we've met, a small gift, I hope the two sisters don't dislike it. They are not valuable things, they were all refined by the poor Dao."
"This…"
"Then thank you, Senior."
When Wang Daochang left, the two women who were working in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion were obviously much more restrained.
Huizhi Sanren seemed to have expected this and winked at the two of them, adding a bit of teasing.
Afterwards, Huizhi Sanren took the initiative to invite Wang Jixuan to take a tour of Tianluo's branch hall, introducing him to the functions of various buildings.
Where to accept tasks, where to go on missions, what are the personalities of the people in charge of various places, what are the taboos, etc.
Wang Jixuan was grateful and took out a bottle of elixir, but Huizhi Sanren was slightly angry.
She said: "Is that how you see the poor Dao, Fellow Daoist?"
"This, don't blame me," Wang Jixuan said with a smile, "I just want to let Fellow Daoist try the elixir I refined. It is made with unique treasures from the forbidden land of immortals, which are difficult to find elsewhere."
— The follicle of a certain treant.
Huizhi Sanren blinked lightly, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly, and accepted the elixir with a smile.
"I'll consider you good at talking, let's go, I've invited a few chefs who are very good at cooking, let's feast."
Wang Jixuan sighed slightly in his heart.
He found that he didn't hate this sister at all. It was very comfortable to get along with her, and there was a kind of tacit understanding and harmony between cultivators.
However, it seems more appropriate to be friends. When there is a slight ambiguity, he feels a little uncomfortable.
The Daoist Master has already begun to seriously consider whether to let Amina or Mudan appear.
He has already seen many servants and disciples of Tianluo.
Yin Lin naturally knew that he had brought someone over.
It's better to bring a female companion with him later, so as to deal with these things that have nothing to do with cultivation.
Late at night, Wang Jixuan returned to his residence, the alcohol on his body was evaporated by mana, and he raised his hand to smell his sleeves, always feeling a bit of powder.
He really didn't dare to delay any longer.
If it wasn't for his good drinking capacity, he might have been taken down by Huizhi tonight!
So, Daoist Wang returned to his portable sub-space and briefly discussed with everyone.
He originally thought that Mudan would volunteer to gather some information, but unexpectedly, Mudan actively recommended Gao Huating.
Little Huating was a pure cultivator, and her cultivation was not low now.
However, she was, after all, Wang Jixuan's female disciple. If rumors spread between the master and disciple, it would be somewhat unseemly.
After thinking it over, Wang Jixuan still looked at Amina.
"Change into a few outfits. I'll have to trouble you to act as my maid for the time being."
"Okay!"
Amina was naturally very happy.
However, she was a little puzzled: "Do I need to change into those dresses that women wear? Is my long dress not appropriate?"
"It is appropriate," Wang Jixuan said with a smile, "but the style is different from the long dresses commonly used in the cultivation world. We should try not to attract the attention of others."
"Alright."
Amina thought for a moment, then turned and flew to the nearby spire.
Wang Jixuan took out a pile of pills to improve cultivation and pushed them to Little Huating and Red Snake.
"The cultivation environment outside is indeed better. Don't be anxious, you two. When we have our own independent courtyard, you can come out and cultivate."
"In the cultivation world, strength is the foundation of everything."
"Okay!"
"Teacher, keep it up! We're all here to latch onto your coattails!"
Wang Jixuan glared at Red Snake, who giggled, not afraid at all.
The Daoist really couldn't do anything about her.
About one or two hours later, Wang Jixuan was meditating on a futon when a beam of immortal light flew out of his sleeve. Amina, who was ready, appeared at the bedside.
The Daoist opened his eyes and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Amina took off her long dress and put on an immortal skirt. Her deep blue hair was simply tied up with a jade hairpin. The three or four layers of thin纱 outlined a charming curve. This seemingly mismatched combination had a different kind of beauty.
Her fair skin was bathed in the moonlight, and her delicate features spoke of tenderness.
"Is it pretty?" Amina turned around, the skirt swaying slightly, and her calves, wrapped in cloth boots, were so straight and slender.
Wang Jixuan gave a thumbs up, calming his mind.
"If someone knocks on the door, go and open it. Just say you are my maid for now."
"Okay," Amina began to float around lightly, leaving her faint fragrance everywhere.
She hummed Little Huating's classic song and began to fiddle with the potted plants, adjusting the layout of the rooms.
Wang Jixuan didn't care about her and gradually got used to her aura, entering meditation again.
Having someone by his side was quite nice.
… …
The days in the Tianluo Station were peaceful and fulfilling.
Wang Jixuan would not have any missions in the next six months, nor could he leave this station. The only thing he could do was cultivate.
He had deliberately saved some contribution points last time in order to see the situation of those preliminary cultivation techniques. If the effect was good, he would exchange for more techniques.
Unexpectedly… …
The techniques here were stronger and more energy-saving than the various techniques recorded in the Wangxian Valley classics.
It was as if this was a refined version, and the various techniques collected by Wangxian Valley were crude and primitive versions.
The preaching in the various Xumi Realms might also have some explanation.
Although Wang Daochang didn't understand this, he didn't delve into it too much.
He exchanged for two more techniques and one escape technique, carefully pondering them, entering the initial stage, small success, and perfection, one by one.
As for the formation, it was handed over to Mudan for analysis, and Wang Jixuan practiced it after receiving the analysis report.
In this way, accompanied by Amina, three months passed in a flash.
Huizhi Sanren occasionally came over, but with Amina by his side, Huizhi Sanren obviously restrained herself a lot and did not launch any obvious offensive against Wang Jixuan again.
Wang Jixuan really breathed a sigh of relief.
He was planning to continue cultivating happily for a few months when Yin Lin, the hall master, sat in a wooden wheelchair and appeared outside his attic, raising his hand to knock on the door of the attic.
