Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Within the private room, an eerie silence had set in.

After a moment, Chu Zheng murmured, "I am already married."

"I know."

Ye Yujiao's expression remained neutral, "It doesn't really matter. I do not necessarily seek the position of a main wife. As cultivators, we need not concern ourselves with these nominal titles. Moreover, Miss Song won't be staying in Cangyun for long. We have days ahead of us."

"You seem to know more than I expected," Chu Zheng slightly furrowed his brow.

Those Shang Family Cultivators truly had remarkable means to be able to find out such secret information, worthy of being a family of Immortal Kings, they indeed had some deep foundation.

"Those one hundred thousand high-quality spirit stones were well spent," Ye Yujiao said noncommittally.

"Why choose me?"

Chu Zheng asked bluntly without sparing any face for Ye Yujiao,

"You are already thirty-one in skeletal age, and only in the Mid Entry Dao Realm despite your high-quality Immortal Bone. You are far too inferior to me, why should I marry you?"

"Currently, the Holy Master is the foremost among the youth of the Cangyun Realm. His talents, appearance, and background are all top-notch. In my view, there is no other candidate more suitable than the Holy Master," she said.

Ye Yujiao kept her composure and pulled out a thin booklet, pushing it across to Chu Zheng,

"This is the dowry prepared for me by Shenmu Pavilion. Please, have a look, Holy Master."

"It seems like you are dealing with me in a business transaction," Chu Zheng said without looking at the dowry list, a hint of movement in his eyebrows.

"Since it is our first meeting, Holy Master, there naturally can't be any talk of feelings. Moreover, for us cultivators, indulging in love and affection seems rather extravagant," Ye Yujiao stated bluntly. "Shenmu Pavilion needs the backing of Taixuan Holy Land in the future. Presently, Taixuan needs the elixir resources of Shenmu Pavilion to quickly strengthen itself. It is a mutual complement."

"Taixuan is teeming with Divine Fire, which complements the numerous alchemists of my Shenmu Pavilion. Therefore, this marriage is a win-win situation for both Taixuan Holy Land and Shenmu Pavilion."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"If you insist that this is a business transaction, then it is indeed a fair deal with no deception," she said earnestly, without beating around the bush.

Chu Zheng remained silent, casually flipping the dowry list open.

[Immortal Pill: one]

[Semi-Immortal Pill: ten]

[Semi-Immortal Medicine: thirty plants]

[Top Quality Spirit Pill: one hundred]

...

The list included over thirty items, not just elixirs and spirit grasses, but many spiritual objects as well, most related to alchemy, their value incalculable.

Seeing the clear dowry list, a flicker of surprise flashed through Chu Zheng's eyes, Shenmu Pavilion indeed had a lavish hand, even including a real Immortal Pill among them.

Given the current environment of Cangyun Realm, this might very well be the only real Immortal Pill in the realm.

Even Taixuan Holy Land, known for producing alchemists, did not possess such wondrous treasures.

"Shenmu Pavilion has really outdone itself,"

Chu Zheng chuckled lightly, closed the dowry list, and pushed it back:

"I am quite selfish by nature. To this date in my cultivation, I only wish not to be encumbered by anything in this world. Shenmu Pavilion, including you, represents a burden to me, not an aid. I'm afraid this deal cannot be made."

A single Immortal Pill was nothing, for the fragments of Immortal Treasures he currently held were already numerous. Extracting all their Immortal Qi could possibly be enough to repair an Immortal Pill completely.

The only reason he hadn't tried was simply due to his reluctance; those pieces of Immortal Treasures could be significantly useful if all repaired.

He was not quite sure yet whether he could repair these Immortal Treasures after advancing to an Eighth Order Repair Master, so it might be better to wait a while longer.

Luckily, Ye Yujiao hadn't discovered his repair abilities, which was a relief for Chu Zheng.

"You overstate, Master. While Shenmu Pavilion may not compare with Holy Lands in terms of quantity of Immortal Treasures, we are still a considerable force within Cangyun Realm, not enough to burden you,"

Ye Yujiao's eyebrows slightly creased, but her tone remained even, "If you think my dowry is not generous enough, we can still negotiate."

"The karma on my body might be too much for Shenmu Pavilion to bear, it's better not to bring disaster upon yourself," Chu Zheng shook his head, kindly advising.

This was no exaggeration; from Zhao Tingxian's reaction, it was clear he was involved in some deep secrets, not even the entirety of Cangyun Realm could match up.

Being too close to him was not a good thing, those without a strong enough fate could easily perish early.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yujiao's calmness dissolved, her brow tightly knitted as she did not understand the ins and outs, but sensed an aloof arrogance emanating from Chu Zheng. In his eyes, Shenmu Pavilion seemed to hold very little weight.

Even Holy Lands wouldn't dare look down on Shenmu Pavilion, being a power formed by alchemists. Often, Holy Lands themselves were in need of their services, yet now they were scorned by Chu Zheng.

To offer an Immortal Pill as a dowry was already a significant overture which was rejected. Any prideful person would not easily endure such an outcome.

Ye Yujiao took a deep breath, repressing the surge of irritation she felt and patiently spoke, "Some things, only after trying them will we know the outcome, why conclude so soon, Holy Master?"

"Your point has some merit, but some things, once tried, might not offer a chance for regret, as one only lives once," Chu Zheng responded bluntly, leaving no room for further discussion.

"Then let us conclude for today,"

Ye Yujiao stood up, her face expressionless as she spoke, "Should you change your mind, Holy Master, you can always find me. The doors of Shenmu Pavilion are always open for you."
