Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1807

"207 billion spirit stones, huh? And to think I was sweating over a few thousand gold coins just a few years ago," Yuan chuckled after hearing the full amount of their sales.

"Most of the earnings came from the material you acquired from the Primal Expanse. Do you intend on selling more of them?" Feng Yuxiang asked.

"No—at least not at this moment. I’ll think about it once we need money again."

"Any news on the Hidden Domain’s opening?" Xi Meili asked a moment later.

"The Sect Leader said that he’d be making an announcement about it soon—probably within this week."

"Finally. I cannot wait to experience a Hidden Domain for the first time," Xi Meili said with an eager smile.

Feng Yuxiang looked at her and said, "You know, the Ancient Dragon City is also considered a Hidden Domain."

"What? Really?" Xi Meili’s eyes widened at this information. This was her first time hearing about it.

"Probably. While it might not be the exact same, it’s similar. After all, it’s not a place meant to be discovered, and it was hidden for a reason. Otherwise, you’d be receiving new visitors every day."

"That makes sense…" Xi Meili muttered. "By the way, where’s Yingying?"

"She’s at the usual place—taking lectures from the Heavenly Beast Sect," Yuan said.

The desire to understand the bond between humans and contracted beasts had driven Lan Yingying to spend the past two months at the Heavenly Beast Sect as a guest disciple. Just like an ordinary disciple, she attended lectures by the sect elders, joined training exercises, and even sparred with the disciples.

"Is she doing this alone?" Xi Meili asked.

"At first, yes," Yuan replied, "but for the past month, I’ve been accompanying her. She is my contracted beast, after all, and it’s only natural for me to stand by her side and support her. As a matter of fact, we have a sparring match with one of the sect elders scheduled in a few hours."

"Oh? You’re going to spar alongside Yingying? Now this is something I must watch!" Feng Yuxiang commented. _{freёwebnovel.com}

A few hours later, Lan Yingying returned and said, "Yuan, are you ready for the match? It begins in two hours." Explore hidden tales at freewebnovel

"Yes, I am ready whenever you are."

"Okay."

Lan Yingying noticed Feng Yuxiang and Xi Meili had returned and asked them a moment later, "Welcome back, you two. How is the store?"

"We sold pretty much everything and already closed the store down. The Hidden Domain will be opening soon, anyway," said Feng Yuxiang.

"We earned 207 billion spirit stones!" Xi Meili proudly declared.

"207 billion?" Lan Yingying’s eyes widened at this astronomical number.

Feng Yuxiang nodded in agreement. "Aside from being a form of currency, most immortal cultivators use Spirit Jade to enhance their Immortal Qi and Celestial Qi, much like how mortal cultivators rely on spirit stones to advance their cultivation. However, Spirit Jade is far more potent. Its unparalleled purity also makes it significantly easier to absorb—like swimming in clear water compared to wading through mud."

Sometime later, Yuan and Lan Yingying departed to engage in their scheduled sparring match, with Feng Yuxiang and Xi Meili naturally accompanying them.

When they arrived at the arena, they were met by Hong Ling, who had been assigned as the referee for their match.

"It’s been a while, Senior Feng, Senior Xi," Hong Ling greeted them with a respectful bow.

"Looks like we’ll be bothering you again," Xi Meili smiled.

"It’s no bother at all. In fact, I was the one who requested to be here. I have always wondered what kind of master you contracted with. There’s no way I’m missing this chance."

Although Yuan had previously accompanied Lan Yingying to sparring sessions, this was the first time they would be fighting together in an actual match.

"Hello, I am Elder Qian, and I will be your sparring partner today," a middle-aged woman introduced herself moments later, her contracted beast standing calmly behind her.

After returning her greeting, Yuan turned his attention to the beast behind Elder Qian. It was an enormous bird with sleek, metallic black feathers that shimmered like armor, and its wings glinted with a razor-sharp edge, resembling finely honed swords.

"This is my beast, a Midnight Armored Talon," Elder Qian introduced her beast.
