Damn it, where did she get such a master from?
With matters concluded, what Qi Huang needed to do next was to go all out for the Evergreen Convention. It was already September, and next spring the Immortal Alliance would announce the rules for the next competition. The year after next, the selection of prefecture-level Immortal Seeds would be held on schedule. Thus, she only had about one year and three months left.
In fact, if it were anyone else, they would probably lower their guard at this point. After all, their Spiritual Sense had already reached the late stage of the Shentong Realm, and within the entire Xihui Dynasty, there were only a few opponents who could be found. What was there to worry about regarding a mere Evergreen Convention?
Qi Huang initially thought the same, but later she shed her arrogance. After all, strength not only included cultivation level but also magic treasures, talismans, formations, and so on. In this regard, the HongHua Sect was far inferior to those major sects. Moreover, there was Steward Cai, a stumbling block. Who knew what schemes and tricks the other party would come up with.
Therefore, Qi Huang could only improve her strength as much as possible and then use overwhelming force to overcome all obstacles.
After that, Qi Huang focused her energy on the Ghost Tomato. However, due to her low cultivation level, the nourishing ability of her bloodline was limited, so its growth speed still did not meet her expectations.
Qi Huang had considered asking her main body for help but later gave up. Firstly, Cheng Hong Ling did not believe that item could enhance Spiritual Sense. Secondly, she was also reluctant to let Cheng Hong Ling pay a hefty price.
“Since just planting cannot meet the demand, then I can only speed up the acquisition speed!”
Qi Huang thought this way, but the problem was that her acquisition shops were located in a desolate place like the HongHua Sect. It was difficult to create momentum like an auction house.
“Right! The auction house!”
A flash of inspiration struck Qi Huang’s mind. She thought that she might be able to find Liu Yingyue to help. If they helped with publicity and acquisition, the speed would definitely be much faster.
Of course, before finding Liu Yingyue, Qi Huang first needed to solve her own psychological problems. Because she also felt that something was not right with her. Although she still felt like a man in her main consciousness, as long as she didn’t deliberately correct it, she would often subconsciously use terms like “this Immortal Fairy,” “this Young Lady,” and “this Miss.” This was clearly abnormal, and even Yaoyao had noticed it.
Qi Huang didn’t know if she would become completely feminized if she continued to think this way. Although she had been a woman for one or two years and was already used to it, that was only physically, not psychologically. She still couldn’t get past the hurdle of sexual orientation, so she had to find a way to solve it.
The only method Qi Huang could think of was to figure out what happened after Cheng Ling left the HongHua Sect. As long as she could see her experiences, she might be able to find a way to control those female spirit souls, and the problem of split personality would naturally be solved.
Fortunately, Cheng Ling had now been expelled, and Qi Huang could enter the dreamscape without any scruples.
Therefore, Qi Huang obtained several large bags of sleep-aid medicine and took some every night before sleeping to achieve the purpose of sleep. After all, she was now a cultivator. If she didn’t use such a method, she would probably only feel sleepy after seven or eight days.
Unfortunately, although Qi Huang could control herself to sleep, dreaming was not something she could control. In the first few nights, she either didn’t dream, or she had some random dreams that had nothing to do with Cheng Ling’s memories.
“Forget it, let’s take it slow! It’s no longer as bad as it was when I was first feminized.”
Qi Huang comforted herself because she could feel that the speed of psychological feminization was much faster than the speed of her body being feminized earlier. Perhaps it was because her spirit soul had not been completely gender-bent.
…
At the same time, at the Juyin Auction House in the Prefecture Capital, Huang Di was meticulously reviewing the information of the clients he had registered. His meticulousness was like that of a scholar who had studied diligently, because he knew very well that for the future of himself and his main body, this auction house could not afford any more mistakes.
“Drip, drip…”
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door, and at the same time, Liu Yingyue’s gentle and mature voice came through: “Brother Huang, may I come in?”
“Please come in!”
Huang Di smiled and invited her in.
The door opened, and Liu Yingyue walked in with a cup of tea.
“Manager Liu, this is your auction house. You don’t need to knock to come in.”
Huang Di said with a smile.
“Even if I am the manager, I cannot break the rules. I still have to knock.”
Liu Yingyue said seriously, then respectfully placed the cup of tea next to Huang Di: “Brother Huang, you’ve worked hard. Have a cup of tea to relax.”
“I have tea in my room. I wouldn’t dare trouble Manager Liu to bring it to me personally.”
Huang Di said with a hint of flattery.
“This is how it should be. Ever since you took on this job, our auction house’s clients have not had any accidents.”
Liu Yingyue elegantly clasped her hands in front of her abdomen and then politely bowed slightly.
“Manager Liu, you are too kind. In fact, it’s nothing. I only register the information of a few clients every day.”
Huang Di casually cupped his fists in return. However, the reality was not as simple as he made it out to be. It wasn’t just that Old Master Liu the Second who wanted the Juyin Auction House to go bankrupt. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t have been able to defend against those pervasive spiritual senses.
“Brother Huang is too modest. Before you, no one could handle this job.”
Liu Yingyue was not stupid. If it were that simple, why would she have been forced to such a desperate situation before?
“Brother Huang, please taste it. This is the Concentrating Spirit Tea I specially bought for you. It is said that cultivators who drink it can help improve their Spiritual Sense.”
Liu Yingyue invited.
“You bought it specifically for me? How can I accept this!”
Huang Di was even more flattered.
“It’s I who should be embarrassed to have such a capable person assisting me.”
Liu Yingyue shook her head humbly. In fact, she also understood that if it weren’t for fate, such a person couldn’t be hired no matter how much money was spent.
Huang Di couldn’t refuse any further. He reached out, picked up the tea, and took a sip. The mental fatigue instantly vanished, and he sighed, “As expected, it’s good tea. Manager Liu has spent a lot.”
“I’m glad you like it, Brother Huang. I’ll send the tea to you later.”
A satisfied smile appeared on Liu Yingyue’s pretty face.
“Hmm?”
At this moment, Huang Di frowned, and his expression became serious.
“What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with this tea?”
Liu Yingyue’s heart suddenly tensed up.
Huang Di didn’t answer, because at this moment, a spiritual sense was trying to break through the spiritual sense defenses he had set up around the room. Because it was being blocked, it was continuously increasing its intensity.
‘Hmph, overestimating yourself!’
Huang Di snorted coldly in his heart. Instead of retreating, his spiritual sense advanced and crushed that spiritual sense.
At the same time, in the tea shop across the street, an old man with graying hair and beard let out a muffled groan. Then, he put down a few copper coins and left in a hurry, muttering incoherently: “How can there be a late-stage Huashen expert here? It’s impossible!”
‘Indeed, it’s impossible. My Spiritual Sense has only reached the late stage of the Huashen Realm, but it’s enough to scare away rats like you who can’t see the light.’
Huang Di slightly curved the corners of his mouth.
“Brother Huang, what exactly happened?”
Liu Yingyue couldn’t suppress her curiosity any longer and asked again.
“It’s nothing. A fly tried to peep just now, and I scared it away.”
Huang Di replied with a relaxed expression.
…
The old man with graying hair and beard fled like a stray dog, completely disregarding his image. He soared into the sky and only landed breathlessly after fleeing dozens of miles north.
The old man hid for a long time. After confirming that no one was chasing him, he took a deep breath with lingering fear.
“That old scoundrel Liu Biao actually told me the task was simple, nearly getting me killed!”
The old man cursed angrily, then picked up the Thousand Li Sound Transmission Device to contact someone.
“Brother Bao, you are indeed swift. You’ve completed the mission so quickly.”
A moment later, Liu Biao, the second master of the Liu family,’s obsequious voice sounded from the transmission device.
“Completed my ass! This Juyin Auction House in Yongning Prefecture has a late-stage Huashen realm expert guarding it. Are you trying to harm me, you old bastard?”
The old man named Bao yelled.
“What? A late-stage Huashen realm expert? Damn it, where did that girl invite such a master from? I don’t even know such a powerful person.”
Liu Biao asked in disbelief.
