Xia Feng turned to look at his father. He had always known that his father’s talent wasn’t low.
If he could resume cultivating, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to become a Martial Lord in the future.
A Martial Lord, in Xingyu City or even among the nearby cities, would be considered a major figure.
This time, Xia Feng was truly tempted.
Whether or not he himself could cultivate wasn’t a big concern—his own talent was extremely poor anyway.
But if he could help restore his father’s damaged dantian, his father could walk the path of cultivation again.
Father Xia glanced at Xia Feng and gently shook his head.
For someone with a damaged dantian who couldn’t cultivate, the temptation of the Reconstructing Pill was even greater than that of a divine technique.
But even so, Father Xia didn’t lose his reason.
He didn’t want his son to make a wrong decision because of him.
He had always been suspicious of the true purpose behind the arrival of the five top-tier Holy Maidens.
“A Reconstructing Pill… Even something that rare was brought out. The Heavenly Fox Holy Maiden is truly sincere.”
“With this Reconstructing Pill, City Lord Xia can resume cultivating!”
“Yes, this thing is incredibly valuable for the Xia family.”
The guests were full of admiration and amazement.
Liu Tianxiang stared hard at the bottle of Reconstructing Pill, his eyes full of resentment.
The Reconstructing Pill was useless to him, but he couldn’t understand—why would a Holy Maiden from a top-tier holy land like Yu Siya not only throw herself at Xia Feng, but even bring so many priceless dowries with her? For what reason?
“It’s just a Reconstructing Pill. It’s not like she’s the only one who has it.”
At that moment, the Extreme Ice Holy Maiden Lin Wanqing spoke.
Then she waved her delicate hand, and a spatial ring floated into the air. Along with it, three jade bottles and a jade meditation cushion emitting cold air appeared, suspended midair.
The moment the jade cushion appeared, the temperature in the entire restaurant plummeted.
“Husband, just like hers, these three bottles contain top-grade Energy Gathering Pills, four Breakthrough Pills, and one Reconstructing Pill,” Lin Wanqing said.
“The pills are the same as the Heavenly Fox Holy Maiden’s. Seems they all prepared based on Xia Feng and his father’s situation—everything they brought is extremely practical.”
“They’re all showing great sincerity. I wonder who Xia Feng will choose.”
Everyone sighed in amazement.
Xia Feng moved his lips but didn’t know what to say. This story is hosted at g.com.
Lin Wanqing didn’t wait for a reply and continued, “This jade cushion is called the Extreme Ice Meditation Mat. Sitting on it calms the mind and focuses the spirit. It increases cultivation speed tenfold.”
“Hiss—!”
Everyone gasped, shocked.
“Ten times the cultivation speed? That’s insane!”
“If my cultivation speed increased tenfold, I could reach Earth Tier Martial Master within a year!”
“This is unbelievable! Is this the foundation of a top-tier holy land? To bring such a divine treasure as a dowry? Just how many unimaginable treasures do they still have hidden in their holy lands?”
Listening to the crowd’s chatter, and staring at the floating Extreme Ice Meditation Mat, Liu Shiyu’s eyes were filled with darkness and hatred.
Why should that good-for-nothing enjoy such precious treasures?
Someone who couldn’t even generate internal energy—what use could he have for such treasures?
Even if he used the top-grade Energy Gathering Pills and became a Martial Warrior, even if he had the Breakthrough Pills—so what?
With his talent, he’d likely never reach the 9th stage of the Earth Tier Martial Warrior Realm in his entire life.
If those treasures were given to her, she could break through to the Martial King Realm in no time, becoming the youngest Martial King in all the cities surrounding Xingyu City.
Liu Shiyu clenched her fists tightly. Whether from the pain of the sword intent or her inner resentment, her face had become twisted with hatred.
“Energy Gathering Pills, Breakthrough Pills, Reconstructing Pill—I have them too.”
The Heavenly Fire Holy Maiden Zhao Lingxuan waved her hand, and three bottles of pills appeared in midair, along with a lamp.
“This lamp is the Firelight Protective Lamp, a top-grade defensive spiritual weapon. Just input energy and it forms a Firelight Barrier. The more energy you input, the stronger the barrier’s defense,” Zhao Lingxuan explained.
“Hiss—!”
Once again, the entire room gasped.
A defensive-type top-grade spiritual weapon?
In this world, weapons were ranked as low, mid, high, and top grade. Above top-grade weapons were spiritual tools, then spiritual treasures, and finally Dao weapons.
In all of Xingyu City, the best weapon was the top-grade blade owned by City Lord Xia—not a single spiritual weapon existed.
Yet the Heavenly Fire Holy Maiden offered a top-grade spiritual weapon just like that. Truly astonishing.
“Spiritual weapons are still external things,” the Heavenly Violet Thunder Holy Maiden said calmly.
Then she waved her hand, and three bottles of pills floated up along with a fruit the size of a chicken egg, crackling with purple lightning arcs.
“No need to say much about the pills—they’re the same as the others.”
Wang Yuwei pointed at the fruit surrounded by lightning and said, “This is the top-grade Violet Thunder Fruit. After consuming it, one’s physique transforms into the Violet Thunder Body. Cultivating lightning-type techniques will take half the effort and deliver twice the results. The power of those techniques will also be greatly enhanced.”
Top-grade Violet Thunder Fruit?
In terms of destruction, lightning techniques were among the most powerful within the same tier of martial arts.
If someone possessed the Violet Thunder Body and cultivated lightning techniques, their strength would increase exponentially.
Clearly, the Heavenly Violet Thunder Holy Maiden had brought this fruit as a dowry to transform Xia Feng’s physique and bring him into the Heavenly Violet Thunder Holy Land.
If he could enter the holy land and receive help from Wang Yuwei, his cultivation path would be much smoother.
But his poor talent remained the greatest obstacle.
The four top-tier Holy Maidens had each presented priceless dowries. Now, everyone was curious—what would the Heavenly Sword Holy Maiden offer?
All eyes turned instinctively toward Li Qingxue.
She raised her hand and took out her dowry.
Three bottles of pills, plus a sword.
“Three bottles of pills—same as theirs,” Li Qingxue said calmly. “This sword is a top-grade offensive spiritual weapon called the Qingxue Sword. Its materials are special, and if its master continuously nurtures it, the sword can keep evolving.”
An evolvable spiritual weapon?
Hearing that, everyone’s bodies trembled slightly.
Weapons were extremely important to cultivators.
However, weapons suitable for early-stage Martial Warriors became less effective at the Martial Master or Martial King level and needed to be replaced.
But high-grade weapons could not be fully wielded by early-stage cultivators and might even backfire.
An evolvable weapon could grow alongside its master—without question, it was far more valuable.
“Husband, are you satisfied with my dowry? Will you marry me?”
Li Qingxue looked at Xia Feng and asked with a sweet smile.
“Husband, mine is the most suitable for you. Marry me,” Wang Yuwei said immediately.
“Nonsense! It’s obvious my dowry is the most suitable for him. He should marry me,” Yu Siya, Lin Wanqing, and Zhao Lingxuan all spoke up as well.
The five top-tier Holy Maidens glared at each other, none willing to give in.
“Uh…”
Xia Feng looked at the five Holy Maidens, his lips moving slightly, but he didn’t know what to say.
At a moment like this… no matter what he said, it would probably be the wrong thing.
