Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

"Here, a total of two hundred and seventy million top quality spiritual stones, please verify."

Yuan Feng's words carried a slight but noticeable self-satisfaction:

"In the Lower Realm, I'm afraid only our Ten Thousand Treasures Tower can gather so many spiritual stones in such a short time."

Two hundred and seventy million top quality spiritual stones, enough to form a real spirit vein!

Chu Zheng's expression remained calm as he took the storage ring and probed into it with his divine sense.

Within the ring was a vast and boundless space, in the center of which piled mountains made entirely of top-grade spiritual stones. Each stone was crystal clear, free of impurities, emitting spiritual energy so dense it nearly turned liquid.

Confirmed without error.

Chu Zheng tucked the storage ring away, looked up at Yuan Feng, and nodded: "Thank you for your effort."

Seeing Chu Zheng's expression that was calm to the point of indifference, Yuan Feng's heart was once again stirred into a tumultuous storm.

Two hundred and seventy million top-grade spiritual stones, such terrifying wealth; anyone, even those reclusive old antiques, receiving such a fortune suddenly, would surely be emotionally stirred beyond control.

Yet the person before him didn't even bat an eyelid.

This calmness wasn't pretended, it truly came from a place of genuine indifference, deep within his bones.

Chu Zheng seemed to overlook the astonishment in Yuan Feng's eyes, changing the subject: "One more thing, has the Cloud Wing Tiger been handled appropriately?"

Yuan Feng, hearing this, regained his senses from the shock, a trace of helplessness spreading across his face:

"Treasure Pavilion is working overnight on it, but... after all, it is a Sixth Rank Peak Great Demon. Such grade of ingredient is rare even in Treasure Pavilion; to complete it all, it will likely take at least two more days."

Saying this, Yuan Feng's face was filled with helplessness. The corpse of a Sixth Order Great Demon was a mobile treasure trove itself, but to perfectly transform it into a top-grade spiritual dish, was as difficult as refining a top-grade magic treasure.

Chu Zheng nodded, indicating his understanding.

He did not say much more, with a flip of his hand, a storage ring with an ordinary design appeared in his palm, which he handed to Yuan Feng:

"This is to thank you for your hard work these past few days, do not decline."

Seeing what was inside the ring clearly, Yuan Feng held his breath.

Inside the storage ring was one million top quality spiritual stones!

This generous gesture stunned Yuan Feng again. He took a deep breath, bowed deeply to Chu Zheng, his voice filled with sincere respect:

"I am humbled by your generosity, Mr. Yuan. If you need anything from me in the future, I will do my utmost to assist."

"Right now, I do have an request for your help."

Chu Zheng nodded, not being overly polite, and spoke solemnly: "Please prepare a teleportation array for me, I will need it in two days, it doesn't need to be far, just to a nearby transfer city. Also, please keep this confidential."

The current Wanliu City had become a place of strife, surely there would be people probing the source of the Immortal Scripture. Ultimately, behind Ten Thousand Treasures Tower was the Yuan Family, the news might be hard to keep hidden, leaving early was the best strategy.

Lingering in the city served no purpose, only bringing unnecessary trouble.

"Understood, rest assured, you two please rest here for two days, I will make proper arrangements."

Yuan Feng straightened his posture, bowed, and turned to leave.

"Are there going to be troubles?"

Xue Qing sensed the unusual atmosphere, her expression serious.

"Perhaps, maybe not."

Chu Zheng wasn't entirely sure. Without the presence of Tribulation Qi, his ability to sense potential dangers had greatly diminished, many things were out of his control.

......

......

In the blink of an eye, two days passed quietly.

To cultivators, two days were merely a moment, but at the highest level, inside the Heavenly Universe Private Room belonging to the Zhao Clan, time seemed lengthened by some invisible force, each moment carrying suffocating weight.

The private room maintained its elegance and opulence, the floor paved with Ten Thousand Years Warm Jade Marrow was polished like a mirror, yet the spiritual tea on the table had long gone cold, losing its shimmering spiritual light.

Xu Menghan sat in the chief seat, demeanor indifferent, the calm expression suppressing a hint of impatience in her eyes, an undercurrent surging beneath.

"Haven't found the person... yet?"

Finally, Xu Menghan spoke, her voice took on a slight but perceptible chilliness compared to before.

Cold sweat permeated Zhao Qingchen's forehead, captured by Xu Menghan's gaze felt like an invisible iceberg pressing onto his back, chilling him to the bone.

He bowed slightly, his voice carrying a barely perceptible tension:

"I've issued strict orders, no cultivator entering or exiting Ten Thousand Treasures Tower will be missed, also, people have been stationed by Treasure Pavilion, but... we have not found any trace of those two, not a single clue. Yuan Feng remains elusive too, has yet to locate him."

Having said this, Zhao Qingchen took a deep breath, speculating: "I believe there's only one explanation left, those two are still within Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, have not left."

"Still here?"

Xu Menghan raised her eyes, gaze penetrating the private room's glazed window, cast downward toward Heavenly Circle Pavilion.

At this moment, Heavenly Circle Pavilion, compared to two days ago during the magnificent and resplendent auction, was vastly different.

The stellar projection on the dome dimmed, like a pearl covered in dust, below, the countless platforms that once floated like stars, overflowing with radiance and color, most had extinguished their light curtains, arrays dormant.

Xu Menghan's gaze swept over the darkened Star Sea, finally fixing on a location.

Heavenly Character Area, No. 3 Private Room.

Under the darkened starry sky, the Heavenly Character No. 3 Private Room's curtain still swirled with faint golden sigils, like a solitary lamp in the long night, extremely conspicuous.

Zhao Qingchen followed Xu Menghan's gaze, his pupils dilating rapidly, quickly grasping the situation.

He immediately turned back and summoned a follower, voice cold: "Go inquire at Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, find out who exactly is in that Heavenly Character No. 3 Private Room!"

"Yes!" The follower received the order, swiftly vanishing outside the private room door.

"It's best if Mr. Zhao goes personally."

Xu Menghan spoke calmly: "Your followers have not seen those two."

"Understood, I will go now."

Zhao Qingchen's expression turned solemn, but he said no more, hastily departing.

......

......

Inside Heavenly Character No. 3 Private Room.

Chu Zheng sat in a chair, posture somewhat tense, his attention had been fixed a short distance above on that private room for these two days.

The person who acquired the Mystic Sun True Understanding still hadn't left, what were they waiting for?

Buzz—

The private room door opened slowly.

Yuan Feng's figure appeared again, different from his excitement two days ago, now Yuan Feng's face wore an indescribable complex expression.

He stepped into the private room, bowing deeply toward Chu Zheng and Xue Qing:

"Honored guests, sorry to disturb."

He lifted his head, a slight heaviness in his heart, the pressure from Zhao Clan was like substance pressing down, the clan elders channeling the pressure unto him.

Yet between the two, he chose to lend Chu Zheng a hand.

Yuan Feng took a deep breath, took out a storage ring, and spoke softly:

"The Cloud Wing Tiger has been fully processed."

Then he continued: "Also, as you instructed before, the teleportation array to leave this place is ready, directly connecting to Xuanzhou Domain, coordinates are set ensuring no trace left for tracking."

"Please, honored guests, follow me to leave here swiftly."

As he spoke, he turned hurriedly, opening the private room door.

Zhao Clan's investigation was imminently pressing, he wedged in-between, bearing immense pressure.

Now he only hoped these two would leave quickly, allowing him a moment's breath.

Once outside Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, everything else was no longer his concern.

Buzz—

The private room door opened slowly, but Yuan Feng's figure remained frozen momentarily.

Standing at the entrance was a group led by a tall figure clad in dark robes.

Having served many years at Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, Yuan Feng was well-acquainted with key figures among the Three Great Clans.

The Zhao Family Main Lineage in the Lower Realm, current head eldest son, Zhao Qingchen.
