Chapter 292: Husband, Drink The Medicine
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Li Xiandao obtained 100 red watches after unlocking the 4th mountain peak. He didn't toss it out over in the Ten Lands and continued to keep it.
The reason was that he could receive new guests after entering the Nine Lands. He wanted to develop and continue strengthening the Bank of the Universe.
Now that he was in Cold Moon Sky, the Bank of the Universe finally had a foothold to start expanding. Li Xiandao felt that it was time to toss these 100 watches out.
Seven nodded, "Now is a good time to toss the watches out."
Seven released them all to find suitable owners to bring over to the Bank of the Universe.
Li Xiandao suddenly thought about something and asked, "What is the price to unlock the 5th mountain peak?"
Li Xiandao felt that he had to unlock this 5th mountain peak, otherwise, the Bank of the Universe wouldn't be able to cross worlds. The moment they wanted to leave Cold Moon Sky and enter other worlds, it would be quite a problem.
Li Xiandao didn't want to cross worlds again.
When he unlocked the 5th mountain, the Bank of the Universe could go wherever it wanted. Wouldn't it be fantastic to be free?
Seven said, "We need 10,000 Spiritual Energy Dragon Veins to unlock the 5th mountain peak and they all have to be of top quality."
Li Xiandao frowned. 10,000 top quality Spiritual Energy Dragon Veins, this was quite a large price to pay.
No wonder Seven said that Li Xiandao would not be able to unlock the 5th mountain peak no matter what.
Li Xiandao hadn't even seen a single one in the Ten Lands.
A Spiritual Energy Dragon Vein required large mountains of spiritual energy to form. The constant spiritual energy had to be condensed for years and only after it formed and gave birth to its own consciousness would the spiritual energy turn into something like a dragon.
This was just the start. The Spiritual Energy Dragon Vein could continue to grow, from one meter to 10, to 100, to 1,000, and then 10,000.
A 10,000-meter Spiritual Energy Dragon Vein was of top quality.
Li Xiandao needed to collect 10,000 of them to unlock the 5th mountain peak.
Li Xiandao's expression instantly became ugly.
This seemed really tough!
No, this was just really difficult.
In Cold Moon Sky, even if spiritual energy was thick, it wasn't easy to gather 10,000 of them.
"You still have a lot of time. There is no need to rush." Seven consoled Li Xiandao.
Li Xiandao could only think that way and slowly accumulate to be able to finally unlock the last mountain peak.
"It seemed like it wouldn't be easy to let the Bank of the Universe cross worlds as it wishes." Li Xiandao was deep in thought.
Seven smiled and didn't say anything.
....
Seven tossed out 100 red watches and they flew all around the world. Then, the Bank of the Universe was in total silence.
Everyone including Li Xiandao was working hard.
He might have just broken through to Stage 10 but this realm wasn't even worth mentioning in Cold Moon Sky. Li Xiandao still needed to improve himself.
His 10 Grotto-Heavens included the Ten Lands, 10 huge worlds. This was unprecedented. Li Xiandao had to slowly study it if he wanted to totally utilize the power of the 10 Grotto-Heavens.
This was why the Bank of the Universe was in momentary silence.
In Cold Moon Sky, time continued to pass as usual. It didn't change at all because of the Bank of the Universe and Li Xiandao's arrival.
The emperor aristocratic family Qin Family and Qing Family were searching for traces of Li Xiandao and Moon Angel but they weren't able to find anything.
Even divination techniques were a blur and weren't able to detect anything.
The Qin and Qing Families could only search slowly. The Qin Family Head was filled with rage and he had nowhere to vent it.
Qing Ling was forgotten and he just continued to comprehend the technique left by Saint Zhuang over at the Qing Family home.
He didn't want to cause trouble but his wife caused trouble for him.
This was because Qing Ling didn't like the wife that was allocated to him and he didn't even touch her.
His wife wasn't of good character and couldn't bear being alone. Along with how the teens in the family were all handsome, she was able to flirt with them and cheat on Qing Ling with them.
Qing Ling knew about his wife which was why he didn't care and just ignored her.
But Qing Yun didn't plan on letting Qing Ling off.
When Qing Ling was strong he was really arrogant and he wasn't interested in Qing Yun's talent. He rejected her plea and didn't help her quash people around.
From then on, Qing Yun started to become jealous of and hate Qing Ling. But in the past, Qing Ling's cultivation was really high. He was one of the Qing Family 10 Tigers while Qing Yun was just an ordinary disciple. They weren't on the same level and Qing Yun didn't even have a chance to take revenge.
But now that Qing Ling was in trouble, and he had fallen from the clouds into the mud, Qing Yun started to have ideas.
He flirted with the wife that the family gave Qing Ling, and after a few exchanges, Qing Yun said coldly, "It isn't right to do this in the dark. If people find out, your reputation will be ruined."
"So?" Qing Ling's wife's heart was all on Qing Yun's body as she asked.
"Qing Ling has to die. Only when he dies will you be free. Although you will become a widow, I will still marry you. When the time comes, we can continue like this. " Qing Yun tempted her.
"But... How can we make Qing Ling die? The family will pick up normal methods." Qing Ling's wife was worried.
She wasn't worried about whether Qing Ling died. Rather, she was worried about whether the family would notice if he died.
"It is okay. There is a blood melting pill here. Dissolve it in medicine and let Qing Ling drink it. This medicine is tasteless and once used, Qing Ling's blood will dry up. The family won't be able to find anything. Anyway, Qing Ling is rubbish, so the family won't care." Qing Yun continued to bluff her.
"Okay, I will feed it to her." Qing Ling's wife's eyes lit up and she agreed right away.
She believed that her lover wouldn't cheat her.
....
In Qing Ling's small courtyard, there was an old, broken tree. But Qing Ling was really happy here.
At least no one would disturb him and he could spend time comprehending the techniques.
Only
But today, his wife came with a bowl of medicine.
"Come husband, drink the medicine." The beautiful wife walked over with a smile carrying a bowl with brewed herbs.
Qing Ling looked on coldly without saying a word.
"Husband, I personally brewed this to heal your injuries. I know you don't like me but we are together. If you get better, then we can spend our lives well in the future." This wife consoled.
Qing Ling looked at the medicine and said, "Have you not read history books?"
The wife was stunned.
"In some historical records, a husband known as Wu Dalang was poisoned by his wife. You are feeding me because you want to poison me so you can run off with your lover?" Qing Ling smiled coldly and said.
