Chapter 30 - 30 Body Refinement and Qi Cultivation Breakthrough Together
In the morning, Yu Qingtan awoke from a light sleep.
Next to her, Shen Wanning was still asleep.
Last night, the two of them didn’t cultivate but talked for a long time, frolicked a while, and then fell asleep in each other’s arms.
As Yu Qingtan got out of bed, Shen Wanning also woke up.
She said lazily,
"Qing Tan, from now on I’m your person, you have to take responsibility."
A vein popped on Yu Qingtan’s forehead as she replied irritably, "Stop joking around, come help."
Yu Qingtan was preparing breakfast and dinner.
In recent days, Yu Qingtan had been preparing meals and placing them in her storage bag to eat together with Shen Wanning at Tianxiang Pavilion.
The preservation effect of the spatial equipment was incomparable even to the fridges of her previous life.
...
"Miss Qing Tan, I never expected this business to earn so many spirit stones, Han is very grateful to Miss Qing Tan for giving him this opportunity," Han Daniu said as he once again visited her office, dismissing the servants before handing over 613 spirit stones to Yu Qingtan.
These were the dividends from the Golden Spear Pill business.
Yu Qingtan had recently heard about the popularity of Golden Spear Pills in the outer floors, and it indeed seemed that even in the Cultivation World, such items had a market.
"It’s also thanks to Brother Han’s good management," Yu Qingtan said as she accepted the spirit stones and complimented him.
"It’s all due to Miss Qing Tan’s clever strategy. But now that the business is getting hotter, Han is actually worried about attracting covetous eyes."
Han Daniu had indeed been feeling nervous lately, and although he tried to keep it secret, it was uncertain how long such matters could remain hidden.
"We indeed need to plan ahead for such things, and the best solution is to find a backer to share enough benefits, binding their interests with ours."
Han Daniu felt a pang at the thought, but he also knew that if he didn’t make a significant sacrifice, he wouldn’t be able to keep the business.
Following Miss Qing Tan’s advice, Han didn’t know if she had anyone to recommend as a backer," Han Daniu inquired.
"Brother Han must be joking. Qing Tan spends her days inside this pavilion, where would she find anyone to recommend? This will depend on Brother Han’s means, which Qing Tan believes in. Let Qing Tan play the zither for Brother Han instead," Yu Qingtan offered.
"Haha, Han does have some considerations. However, I have missed Miss Qing Tan’s zither music for many days, longing to hear it again. Today, I will finally have my wish fulfilled," Han Daniu laughed heartily.

[Lucky Draw: 10 Charm Points for one draw (possible to do ten consecutive draws)]
After the last assassination attempt, Ouyang Wulong personally came to see Yu Qingtan, handing over the bounty for the assassin’s Poison Needle to her, but they still hadn’t found the Misty Rain Tower’s stronghold in Suichuan Immortal City, hence they weren’t able to track down the mastermind behind the attack.
Therefore, at the price of ten Spirit Stones per month, Yu Qingtan hired two late-stage Qi Cultivation Protecting Disciples to escort her to and from work.
The price was so cheap mainly because the Protecting Disciples’ duties inherently included protecting Tianxiang Pavilion and its personnel, and more importantly, it didn’t take much of their time.
Yu Qingtan also asked Steward Liao to go to Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion and buy Jade Slips of three Spells for her—Water Blade Technique, Water Curtain Technique, and Object Controlling Technique from Sun Deren.
Even with the most favorable price from Sun Deren, it still cost 1700 Spirit Stones, using up all the Spirit Stones she had obtained from the assassin’s Poison Needle and even requiring her to add some of her own.
Whether it was due to muscle memory or something similar, Water Blade Technique and Water Curtain Technique were easier to learn than Object Controlling Technique.
With Yu Qingtan dedicating an hour each morning to practice these three Spells, she had managed to enter the beginner level for all of them.
In addition, the set of mid-grade First Order Magic Artifacts Shadowless Needles and the high-grade First Order defensive Magic Artifact Xuan Turtle Shield, which also came from the assassin’s Poison Needle, had been consecrated by Yu Qingtan.
The Xuan Turtle Shield, crafted primarily from the shell of a turtle on the verge of breaking through to the Second Stage after three hundred years, was a fine product among high-grade Magic Artifacts. Yu Qingtan’s multiple Water Blade attacks only managed to leave some marks on it.
As for the two additional Affection Points, they came from a Loose Cultivator and a junior from a small family, both at the early stage of Qi Cultivation.
"Today I made a breakthrough in Cultivation, it’s time to draw some prizes to celebrate. Dao Ancestor be eternal! Ten consecutive draws!"
"Invisibility Technique Beginner, thank you for your patronage x9."
Yu Qingtan’s eyes lit up, the draw was indeed fortuitous today, as Invisibility Technique was a rare and valuable Spell not for sale even in Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion.
"Blessings from the Dao Ancestor! Let’s draw again!"
"Thank you for your patronage x10."
"No matter, I’ve already made a profit. Immortal Dao Ancestor, draw again!"
"Master Tailoring Skills, thank you for your patronage x9."
"Something came out again, this round is not a loss," Yu Qingtan said happily as she collected her prizes, then stopped the drawing.
Learning self-restraint is also an essential lesson on becoming a strong individual.
After entering the beginner level of Invisibility Technique, Yu Qingtan spent 1 Affection Point to get a Spell Upgrade Card, bringing it to Minor Mastery.
Since getting the Bra Making Skill last time, Yu Qingtan had some basics in tailoring.
With the Master Tailoring Skills she obtained this time, Yu Qingtan felt as if she could create any garment in the world with her own hands.
