"I would never imagine that I will see you today. Did you ask about Elder Han just now?" Shen Cheng replied Long Feng's question. "Yes, senior, please enlighten this junior about his teacher's whereabouts and his safety." Long Feng hand shakes for a moment before he speaks.

"Elder Han should be passed away by now. I'm sorry to deliver this message to you. Three days before my arrival to the Clear Jade City, the Xuan Wu Sword Sect and the Mystery Water Sect had already been destroyed. Some bandits even went over there to pillage the remains, but hardly anything worth taking is left. Even the city lord had been forced to leave the city, and allows the other usurper to take his position." Shen Cheng continues.

"Currently, the Xuan Wu Jade City is ruled by the Beast Taming School and the Governor the school appointed, and trying to make the whole city belonged to the school. We from other families could only protect ourselves, or chose to ally with the school to protect their family from being exterminated." Shen Cheng finished his words, as well the explanation regarding the city.

"Senior, please take this pill, and in return, could you make sure I received the most updated news regarding my master, Elder Tang Wen and about the Xuan Wu Sword Sect?" Long Feng decided to offer the pills to Shen Cheng as the gratitude of updating him about the situation at Xuan Wu Jade City, but in that moment, three fists came over to his head to give him a knock.

"Husband, what kind of people treats pills as the deals for the information you can buy with ten or twenty pills!" Nan Jing Jing scolded him. In the same time, after giving him a knock, Shen Cheng and Elder Yongheng looked at each other and set up a deal. "Brother Yongheng, can I, Shen Cheng, request to pay this by installment?" Shen Cheng speaks. Looking at him, Elder Yongheng agreed, the deal would be paid off at the end of the month, and for now, Long Feng's coins would be covered by the Myriad Ingredient Pavilion first.

"Then Shen Cheng would accept this good will from Brother Yongheng. Young Junior, listen to me. Although the Xuan Wu Sword Sect is no longer around, but aren't you one of Elder Han's student? Make him proud, and help preserve the Xuan Wu Sword Sect's legacy. I will send people to pass the message to the Bronze Pill Hall if there is any updated news. Take this as my gratitude for keeping this Middle-Rank pills for me to view after Lian Cheng is away." Shen Cheng paid his thanks to Long Feng, and exit the room along with Elder Yongheng.

"Husband, you are being too rash about this matter. Next time, be sure to consult either me or Elder Yongheng first." Nan Jing Jing looked at Long Feng as she speaks. Then, Long Feng replied her. "Wife, my teacher is dead, and my master is heading over to the City... How could I be not worried."

"Husband, do not worry, even if you did, nothing could be done. What you need is to strengthen your cultivation, and make your way up to where your master cultivation is. If not, how will you face the Beast Taming School?" Nan Jing Jing opened up Long Feng's clouded mind.

"Beast Taming School! I will make sure to destroy you for the Xuan Wu Sword Sect!" Long Feng grit his teeth in anger, and tried to control it. But then, without notice, a small line of darkness enters Long Feng's body from nowhere.

"Clack!" the door opened, and Elder Yongheng returns from the outside. "Xiao Feng, Xiao Jing, what a splendid show today to feast my eyes. Xiao Jing, your choice of man is too wise, even me, who watch you grows up in the mansion would felt proud with you." Elder Yongheng speaks as he entered the room.

"Thank you, uncle Yongheng. How is your health these days?" Nan Jing Jing accepts the praise and asks for Elder Yongheng's health. "I am well. But it doesn't seem too good for your young husband. Young friend, listen to this old man's advice and don't carry this burden in your heart. If not, you will be clouded with revenge, and failed to follow the path. If this happened, your cultivation will get stagnant and you will develop an inner demon within your heart." Elder Yongheng explained but only could hope that Long Feng will listen to him.

"Xiao Feng, Xiao Jing, take this 3000 points to exchange for what you need in the exchange cashier, and Xiao Feng, since you already provide two thousand pills, it is, of course, the Myriad Ingredient Pavilion reimburse for your pills. I had already ordered the storage assistant to pack up a total of 1000 Portions of ingredients and separated it into two batches. If you refined enough pills again, please deliver it to the Pavilion." Elder Yongheng speaks with gratitude. After all, Long Feng sudden appearance had already helped him to earn a total of 225,000 Spirit Bronze Coins in merely a few hours.

"And also, this is what you supposed to have." Elder Yongheng passed a total of 450,000 Spirit Bronze Coins to Long Feng's hand. But as Long Feng is not in his best mood of interest now, he could only take it without any words. Instead, Nan Jing Jing speaks on behalf of him. "Uncle Yongheng, my husband is not in his best condition now, we will give you a proper apology the next time we come."

The couple exits Elder Yongheng's office and went over to the exchange counter again, but since Long Feng is not in the mood, nothing is exchanged. The couple leaves the pavilion afterward, but then Long Feng suddenly wake up in a trance. "Jing Jing, I want to exchange for some Internal Flame Ingredients, could you wait for me for a moment?" Long Feng suddenly speaks.

"Of course, let us go into the pavilion again." Nan Jing Jing behaves like a proper wife, accompanying Long Feng back to the pavilion to exchange a total of 1000 portions of Internal Flame Pill's ingredients. "Wife, I will be entering closed door cultivation, and strengthen my Elemental Fire properties." Long Feng inform Nan Jing Jing his intention, along with the way.

"Husband, do you think I would be unhappy or anything? I would support you all the way when you are in close door cultivation, do not worry." Nan Jing Jing looked at Long Feng like how a proper wife should be. In her mind, she would expect her husband to do this anyway even before he mentioned.

"Silly husband, from the moment you mentioned about Elder Tang Wen and your intention about getting the Tempering Pills, I could already expect you to go into a long period of close door training. Go ahead and leave the outside stuff for me to handle." Nan Jing Jing assured Long Feng that nothing will happen during that time.

"Thank you, my wife!" Long Feng happily hugged Nan Jing Jing, gave her a slight electrical shock. "Ah! Husband actually hugged me again!" this sentence run through her mind in the timespan of five seconds. Releasing her from his hug, Long Feng led Nan Jing Jing into the Main Street, and accompany her as long he could.

Long Feng considered the option he has. Either to attend the brothers meeting on Monday, and return to the Cave to start his close door cultivation, or to go into the closed door cultivation now, and have Nan Jing Jing helps to deliver the word about his situation, and pass half of the Thunder Spirit Pills to Lang Ya.

But after a while of consideration, Long Feng decided to put brotherhood in the first place, and cultivation in second. He got this sudden change of mind after he remembered a sentence spoken by the Elder from the Tower of Knowledge. "Your Elemental Energy is too weak, and this will become an obstacle as you get into the Adept Tier. Temper it and halt your cultivation."

Long Feng decided to follow the advice from the elder. "That elder speak this sentence with a serious expression, and with his cultivation, receiving a bit of advice from his is a blessing, I should follow his word and refurbish the [Temperament Sutra] first."

The couple then visits most of the shops available along the Main Street. Pieces of jewelry, Clothing, weapons, food, and even Jadestone is widely sold within each shop, but none of them managed to attract Long Feng's attention. Long Feng usually depends on his intuition when he makes any decision, but this time, none of the item sold within each shop they walk pass, managed to catch his attention.

But this disappointment stops as they entered a shop along the alleyway. This shop is positioned far away from the main street. Unless one would wander around the few small snack stalls along this alleyway, it would be impossible to notice this shop with it's broken appearance.

"Husband, I can feel some special Essence Energy within this shop, should we go in and have a look?" Nan Jing Jing happily entered the shop, followed by Long Feng few step behind her.

[Mysterious Peak Treasures]

"What kind of shop is this? Shady appearance, not even a single customer is seen outside the shop. Withered pots of plants on the side, dust, and the web by the business board on top. But I wonder why would such strong Essence Energy is released from the inside?" Long Feng scanned around the shop and it's broken appearance. Unable to see what's the hidden motive behind this appearance, Long Feng walked into the shop, and see what the secret hid behind.

"Rong... Rong... Rong..." a sound akin a skin made drum keep resonating within Long Feng's ear as he passes the shady rotten wood entrance. As the sight along his surrounding had changed, a beautiful, well decorated with Golden Birch Wood interior appears before his eyes.

"Heaven! This is even grander than the Myriad Ingredient Pavilion's Grand Hall!" Long Feng could only use Myriad Ingredient Pavilion in comparison, and even more, it's fall pale in the comparison results. "Young Master, welcome to the Mysterious Peak Treasures. How could we help you both today?" A well dressed Man appeared from the second floor and descends slowly to the ground floor.

"Master Tier Cultivators!" Nan Jing Jing immediately alarmed with such strong cultivator's appearance. Long Feng on the another side, still confused with how the man could slowly descend from the second floor to the ground so slowly. "This senior, are you the owner of this place? How could you descend so slowly as if you have a cloud on your feet?" Long Feng asked a question. In the same time, Nan Jing Jing's cautiousness is replaced by a heavy laughing. "How could this husband be so dull, he doesn't even notice that this person is a Master Tier Cultivator." Nan Jing Jing laughs even harder in her mind.

"Young Master, this shop does belong to me, but I am only its temporary owner until the real owner come back with his new sought treasures." the man answers Long Feng's question and continued. "So how could I help you both today?" he asked the same question once again.

"We are just window-shopping, do you have any unique treasures that we could have a look?" Nan Jing Jing happily answers the man's question and looking forward to his answer, in case he doesn't mind leading the two to walk around the Shop. Then, Long Feng came out with another question again, before the man replies.

"Senior, I remember from the entrance, this is only a single floor building, how could such a big shop stuff within?" Long Feng's question... Seriously gave Nan Jing Jing and the man another laugh once again. "Hahaha, Young Master, you are really making this owner unable to control his emotions. Well, let me answer Lady's question first. Yes, of course, I could bring you around and introduce you some treasure I believe would be great for your usage. And for you, Young Master, do you know about Element Space Inscriptions?" the man answered Nan Jing Jing's question, but instead of answering Long Feng's question, he pops one question to Long Feng first.

"I did hear some about it, but not much. I have only been to the Thousand Training Formation Cave in our Bronze Pill Hall before." Long Feng answers. "Oh, In the term of Element Space Inscriptions, they are almost similar, but the only difference is, the Bronze Pill Hall's Inscriptions is around their Refinement or Adept Tier Inscriptions, while for this shop, the tier should be around Sovereign Strength." the man replied, and blurted out a word [Sovereign] before the two of them.

"Sovereign? Is that a cultivation tier?" Nan Jing Jing asked. But the man answered her question with a simple sentence. "You both are still too young, sooner or later, you would be heard it along with your cultivation. So shall we head over to view some treasures?" the man leads them both as he opened a door leading to a hallway. In the same time, he inquired about the couple's name and decided to address them as Mrs. Li and Young Master Li.

"Mrs. Li, this item should be suitable for you, it is a Special Metal called [Moon Shattering Ore]. This piece of metal possess a strong Element Metal and Element Earth, so it would be best to be refined into a weapon by using your own as a base mold." the man introduce the first item to Nan Jing Jing.

"Wow, how amazing is this, how much would that cost, senior?" Nan Jing Jing immediately falls in love with it, but she felt she should see more treasure before she decided. "Not much, just One Million and Two Hundred Thousand Spirit Bronze Coins." the man answers. And that answer gave Nan Jing Jing a shock as she only carries a total of 1,300,000 Spirit Bronze Coins. "This item is extremely valuable, but I only have this much... Senior, I would like to view more of the treasure before deciding on one." Nan Jing Jing thinks for a moment before she asks to be lead to see other treasures.

"Of course, that's possible. Follow me please." the man smiles as he answered Nan Jing Jing's words, and lead the couple to another treasure for Long Feng's side. "Young Master Li, this treasure is suitable for your usage. It is a preserved [Grain Feathered Peacock's Soul Essence Pearl], and the price for this item is just 450,000 Spirit Bronze Coins." once again, this person introduced an item for Long Feng, but the pricing is exactly the total wealth Long Feng possessing.

But in Long Feng's mind, he is deeply attracted with this ingredient. "This is one of the ingredients exactly needed to concoct the Golden Jade Holy Pill!" Long Feng is in deep thought because he couldn't decide what he wanted. He currently possessed a [Marble Stone Essence Fruit], and 10 units of Upper-Rank Pills within his hand. A total of 5 rare ingredients and 5 different Upper-Rank Pill with ten pills of each kind is required for refining the [Golden Jade Holy Pill].

The [Marble Stone Essence Fruit] contain strong Element Earth within the fruit, while this [Grain Feathered Peacock's Soul Essence Pearl] contains strong Element Wood within. Hardening his mind, Long Feng decided to view more treasures as well. "Senior, please lead us to view the next treasure." Long Feng decides.

The next stop, is a special material once again, for Nan Jing Jing. "Mrs. Li, this is the [Gallbladder of Snow Lord] if you possess a dragon beast in Water and Metal Element, this could nourish it, and even increase in bloodline would be possible. The price of this treasure, Is the same as the previous one." the man announces the treasure specialty and also its price in one shot.

"This! If this treasure is taken and refined by Xiao Cai, she will be able to improve her bloodline! By that time, Xiao Cai would be a full fledge Youngling. Her battle ability and memories would slowly come into her mind, giving her the natural battle ability she should possess." Nan Jing Jing once again felt pulled into making her purchase, but again, she resists the urge to say yes. "Senior, please proceed to the next one." Nan Jing Jing takes a very firm step and makes her choice.

"Of course, of course." the man chuckles and leads the couple to the next treasure. This time, even before the explanation is started, Long Feng already had the urge to immediately purchase it. "Seems like Young Master Li eyes are quite good. This is the [Firesaint Mushroom] rich in Element Fire essence, using this in concoction for sure will bring superb fire strength within the Pill. This treasure is priced same as the previous one, only 450,000 Spirit Bronze Coins." the man introduced the treasure, and praise Long Feng for his sharp eyesight.

"Senior, Xiao Feng still wish to see the next item, please lead us before we decide." Long Feng looked at the man with a straight, sharp clear eyes. "Of course, come with me, we can choose the previous one anyway if you would like to decide by then. The fifth item is the last one that is suitable for both of you to use, and it is also the last treasure I felt that it would be very suitable for both of you." the man speaks and brings them to the end of the hallway.

"This is the [Spatial Link Twin Grass Ring]. This is one special treasure in our store that could be only sold to couples. If it wasn't because I see you both loved each other so much, I wouldn't introduce this ring to you husband and wife." the man opened the beautifully carved wooden box, and reveal two pieces of ring type accessories to the couple.

"Let me explain this pair of ring's specialty. It is carved with a high-level inscription during the refining process, allowing this pair of a ring to possess a special type of [Spatial Link] ability. In a more simple version, the spatial storage within this ring is accessible by both user of the rings, which means, you both could share the same spatial storage no matter how far you are separated.

"And one more thing is because the main ingredients to refine this ring came from the Twin Linking Grass that will only grow when taken care by a couple, this allows the pair of users, of course, they need to be lovey-dovey to each other, to grow the ring. The current stage of this ring is at its Refinement Tier, so if you wished to do so, cultivate together along with the ring in hand, and it would refine itself to be stronger and stronger until death does you apart." the man explains the special ability of the ring.

"It would only cost 1,650,000 Spirit Bronze Coins! Take it before you regret!" the man keeps pushing this treasure to the couple. Long Feng looked at Nan Jing Jing and felt that if he doesn't take this treasure, he wouldn't be satisfied with anything else. "Senior, we both fancy this pair of rings, could we have the honor of buying it?" Long Feng speaks to the senior.

"Oh, a business! Of course of course! Let me withdraw this treasure with its box, and came to you in front of the store reception area, please give me a few minutes." the man happily takes the box from the wooden shelf, and walk into his office.

"Husband, thank you." Nan Jing Jing looked at Long Feng with teary eyes. "Wife, why are you being like this for? Two third of the money is from your pocket, I should be the one to say thank you instead." Long Feng holds Nan Jing Jing's hand as they turn to the table, where the man already standing on the other side.

Long Feng withdraw the Spirit Bronze Coins along with Nan Jing Jing, and place on the table for the man to calculate. But instead, the man only withdraw the two ring on his hand and urge Long Feng and Nan Jing Jing to wear it on their finger. "If you both don't mind, would you exchange your ring to this senior?" the man says. After the couple agreed with his request, they pass their pair of an old ring to the man, as he respectfully sent the couple out from the store.

They later went back to the Bronze Pill Hall, happily walking together while holding hands. The box that used to keep the pair of rings is stored in their Twin Grass Ring, and after Long Feng safety sent Nan Jing Jing back to his room, Long Feng then returns to his room, and withdraw the copy of [Temperament Sutra] and starts to read it.
