Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 58: Accommodate Him from Now On

p.m.

The night was not yet too deep.

It was just that the snow was falling too heavily, and there were no more pedestrians in Narrow Rain Lane.

The cultivators living here mostly hid in their narrow rooms to cultivate.

Qiu Zhihe lightly bit her lip, enduring the pain from the turmoil of ice and fire within her body, taking a moment to adjust her breath before finally returning to normal.

Tonight, she dared not be willful anymore, suppressing her cultivation technique every time.

The Profound Ice and Fire Technique was too domineering; if she did not control it well, even she would suffer backlash. If Qin Gengyun truly got seriously injured at his foundation, that would be troublesome.

By comparison, her own brief pain after each session was nothing.

Yes, Qiu Zhihe had decided, in the future, she would suppress her cultivation technique every time.

It was as if she deceived him, using him as a tool for dual cultivation and perhaps compensating for potentially dragging him into danger in the future.

Why was I longer again tonight?

Behind Qiu Zhihe, Qin Gengyun looked puzzled.

Last night he clearly lasted only forty breaths; why was it back to fifty breaths tonight?

And, somehow he felt that the ice and fire within Qiu Zhihe’s body had weakened a bit tonight.

Is it my illusion?

Qin Gengyun shook his head, knowing that even if he asked Qiu Zhihe, she wouldn’t answer. For now, he suppressed his doubts and called up his attribute panel.

[Name: Qin Gengyun]

[Lifespan: 35/40]

[Cultivation: Qi Cultivation Third-Layer, 140/500]

[Skill: First-Tier Alchemist, 113/200]

[Spirit Root: Fire Series Middle Grade Spirit Root (80/1000), Ice Series Middle Grade Spirit Root (87/1000)]

[Available Cultivation Points: 15]

Qin Gengyun added all 15 points to [Cultivation], and the attribute panel changed:

[Cultivation: Qi Cultivation Third-Layer, 155/500]

There are still 345 points left; if I can increase by 27 points every day, it will take fourteen days to reach Qi Cultivation Fourth-Layer.

But there are only five pieces of Spirit Marrow left. Tomorrow, I need to go to Immortal Treasure Pavilion to buy sixty more pieces of Spirit Marrow and then shut myself in for cultivation until I reach the Fourth-Layer.

Oh yes, if I buy sixty pieces of Spirit Marrow, the eight hundred or so Spirit Stones I earned recently will be almost spent. Tomorrow, I should ask if Taoist Friend Qiu’s family has enough Spirit Stones.

She needs to buy groceries every day and cultivate Spirit Grass, which also requires costs.

After pondering for a while, Qin Gengyun glanced back at his wife beside him.

The feeling of having someone by my side every night is really nice.

Warmth filled his heart, and he unknowingly fell asleep deeply.

...

The next day.

When Qin Gengyun woke up, Qiu Zhihe had already left the house.

A sumptuous breakfast was still laid on the table, along with a beautifully written note:

"I went to buy groceries."

Qin Gengyun tucked the note into his pocket, ate breakfast, and when Qiu Zhihe returned, she was carrying a bag, and said to Qin Gengyun:

"Today, I managed to buy some high-grade Spirit Flesh."

Qin Gengyun stood up, smiling, "There’s not much Spirit Flesh in the market outside Narrow Rain Lane, and even less high-grade Spirit Flesh. Taoist Friend Qiu, you have good luck."

Qiu Zhihe entered the kitchen while Qin Gengyun asked from outside:

"By the way, Taoist Friend Qiu, isn’t this Spirit Flesh expensive? Do you have enough Spirit Stones?"

A cool voice came from the kitchen:

"Enough."

The Wild Spirit Mastiff was brought down by those three Ghost Cultivators on the mountain outside Yunling Town. How would they dare to charge her Spirit Stones?

Since Qiu Zhihe said so, Qin Gengyun didn’t press further and then started his alchemy.

As usual, by noon, Qin Gengyun finished his alchemy, and Qiu Zhihe brought out a fragrant stew soup.

While they were eating, Qin Gengyun said:

"Taoist Friend Qiu, I will finish all the pills agreed with Taoist Friend Mo today. How about delivering them to the night market tonight?"

Qiu Zhihe glanced at him: "You should go by yourself. Why ask me?"

"Oh." Qin Gengyun thought, if he didn’t tell her, she might get angry again.

After lunch, as usual, it was Qin Gengyun’s turn to wash the dishes, and then he said to Qiu Zhihe:

"Taoist Friend Qiu, I’m going to Immortal Treasure Pavilion to buy Spirit Marrow."

"Okay."

Qiu Zhihe, sitting cross-legged on the bed, responded, and only then did Qin Gengyun leave.

He hadn’t gone out for a few days, and as soon as he set foot outside, his whole shoe sank into the thick snow.

The heavy snow was falling, and there were fewer pedestrians outside.

It was Qin Gengyun’s first winter in Yunling Town.

He recalled that in the past two years in Zhenyang City, the snow in winter was not so heavy.

At that time, he was a Pill Furnace Medicine Attendant at the Celestial Pill Pavilion and heard from an Alchemist that it was because Zhenyang City had a giant array that weakened most of the adverse weather impacts.

But a remote place like Yunling Town naturally didn’t enjoy such treatment.

Qin Gengyun walked through the heavy snow, shielding his eyes from the flying snowflakes with his hand.

"Did Taoist Friend Qiu go to buy groceries in such heavy snow these past few days?"

He remembered Qiu Zhihe was dressed rather thinly today, and guilt welled up in his heart.

Qiu Zhihe had more than enough thin clothes, but her winter clothes seemed insufficient. Even a cultivator could easily catch a cold in such frigid weather.

Thinking about it, he didn’t head straight to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion. Instead, he went to Caifeng Street and found a shop specializing in clothes.

Actually, if one wanted to buy better clothes, they should go to Rouge Pavilion.

But Qin Gengyun, worried about being entangled by Chen Jia again, thought that if she really was Yang Fengshan’s fiancée, and she told Yang Fengshan about him spending thirty Spirit Stones on clothes, it would be unnecessary trouble.

Qin Gengyun selected two thick, plush, embroidered fur coats made from the skin of demonic beasts, which were quite warm.

One was black, and the other was red.

The black one was because Qiu Zhihe liked it, and the red one was because Qiu Zhihe looked really good in red.

Bringing both back, she could wear whichever she liked.

These two fur coats were ordinary clothing and cost two Spirit Stones, which did not affect Qin Gengyun’s purchase of Spirit Marrow.

Stepping out of the clothing store, Willow Smoke Lane was just a short distance away, and directly opposite the alley’s entrance was Yihong House.

Remembering the rumors of a courtesan who had a fanatical admiration for the Great Master of the Bedroom Techniques, Qin Gengyun shook his head and quickly headed toward the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.

A short distance behind him, two robust female cultivators from Yihong House looked at the portrait in their hands, then glanced at Qin Gengyun’s back, exchanging a look:

"Isn’t that the benefactor of the Ruyi Courtesan?"

"Quick, follow quietly!"

At the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, Qin Gengyun felt slightly apprehensive, as he needed to buy sixty pieces of Spirit Marrow, which meant taking out a whopping sum of 600 Spirit Stones.

It was really too conspicuous.

If someone with ulterior motives targeted him, it would be troublesome.

Fortunately, it was just 7 a.m., and the Immortal Treasure Pavilion had just opened. The heavy snow outside meant there weren’t many people in the pavilion.

Qin Gengyun let out a sigh of relief, walked to the counter, and said to the shopkeeper in a low voice:

"I want sixty pieces of Spirit Marrow."

The shopkeeper glanced up at him briefly and said nothing more, "This Taoist friend, 600 Spirit Stones."

Qin Gengyun took out 600 Spirit Stones from his Spirit Crystal and quickly completed the purchase. The shopkeeper even gave him a fine brocade jade bag, specially designed for holding Spirit Marrow.

"Thank you."

Qin Gengyun put the jade bag into his pocket, left the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, and, looking around, quickly headed toward Narrow Rain Lane.

"He’s out! Follow him quickly!"

The two robust female cultivators waiting outside the Immortal Treasure Pavilion saw Qin Gengyun come out and immediately followed him.
