"Oh? That's good then!"
Qin Ning smiled faintly.
Honestly, it would be a pity if Yun Shuang'er's Chaos Body was wasted like that.
However, in his eyes, it was merely a regrettable matter.
He wouldn't beg Yun Shuang'er to be his attendant just because he felt sorry for the Chaos Body being squandered.
This world is vast, and countless geniuses are born. Even special physiques like Spirit Bodies, Saint Bodies, King Bodies, Emperor Bodies, God Bodies, or Chaos Bodies, Mountain God Bodies, and so on, are nothing but fleeting clouds in his eyes.
In this life, he himself wasn't born with a Spirit Body or any special physique, but with his cultivation, those so-called special physiques were nothing but dirt before him.
But for ordinary people, these things were indeed mysterious.
"But there's one thing I must explain clearly to Young Master!"
Yun Shuang'er let out a breath and began to speak honestly.
"Just say whatever it is!"
Qin Ning said softly.
"My surname is Yun!"
"I know!"
Qin Ning slowly sat down, motioned for Ye Yuan'er to pour a cup of tea, and replied indifferently.
"I come from the Yunlan Empire!"
Yun Shuang'er slowly said, "I am a princess of the Yunlan Empire."
"Oh, and then?"
Qin Ning raised his teacup and asked in return.
Whether it was a state, an empire, a superior kingdom, or a powerful nation, in Qin Ning's eyes, there wasn't much difference.
In his eyes, no matter what it was called, it was just a country.
Oh, and then?
Hearing the question in return, Yun Shuang'er was speechless.
Did Qin Ning know about the Yunlan Empire?
"The Yunlan Empire was once a powerful nation, but like the Beiming Empire, it declined with the flow of history.
However, it is still an empire now!"
"Moreover, among the hundreds of empires on the entire Jiuyou Continent, the Yunlan Empire is definitely one of the top ten empires, unlike the current Beiming Empire, which ranks last among empires!"
Qin Ning felt that Yun Shuang'er was being overly verbose.
Qin Ning frowned and said, "Just say what you want to say quickly. So-called states, empires, superior kingdoms, or powerful nations are not worth mentioning in my eyes."
Staring intently at Qin Ning for a moment, Yun Shuang'er then said, "I come from the imperial family of the Yunlan Empire, one of the most favored and exquisitely beautiful princesses."
As soon as Yun Shuang'er said this, Qin Ning nodded.
Yun Shuang'er was not wrong about this; in terms of beauty, Yun Shuang'er was indeed enough to topple kingdoms.
Ye Yuan'er coldly placed the full teacup on the table.
"Cough cough..."
Qin Ning coughed and smiled, "You too!"
Yun Shuang'er continued, "But because of this beauty, I caused trouble for the Yunlan Empire."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
"As a princess of the empire, even if I couldn't cultivate, logically speaking, I shouldn't have to worry, but unexpectedly, something happened last year."
"The Emperor of the Lingyang Superior Kingdom personally came forward to propose marriage and arrange a match for me with his son, Yang Qiyuan!"
Yun Shuang'er said unhappily, "The Lingyang Superior Kingdom has formidable potential. Although my Yunlan Empire is also a top empire, it is still far inferior compared to the Lingyang Superior Kingdom."
"So?"
Qin Ning asked again.
"Therefore, my father asked for my opinion. If I could cultivate, I could choose my own life, but if I couldn't cultivate... then I could only marry Yang Qiyuan."
Ye Yuanjuan interjected, "The Lingyang Upper Kingdom is one of the few upper kingdoms on the Jiuyou Continent. You should marry Yang Qiyuan."
"How can I do that!"
"How can I do that!"
Qin Ning and Yun Shuang'er spoke almost simultaneously.
Ye Yuanjuan found it strange.
Yun Shuang'er explained, "Yang Qiyuan is talented, but he is very cruel, and he also has a hobby... of abusing women..."
After Yun Shuang'er finished speaking, she suddenly looked at Qin Ning.
Why would she look at Qin Ning if she couldn't say anything more?
Ye Yuanjuan also looked at Qin Ning at this moment.
"Ahem..."
Qin Ning said, "Yun Shuang'er is talented and beautiful, very suitable to be my maid. What is that Yang Qiyuan?"
The two of them silently stared at Qin Ning.
"Aren't you just unwilling to marry him?" Qin Ning looked at Yun Shuang'er and said, "This is simple. I can take you with me to cultivate, and I can also help you accelerate your cultivation speed, something ordinary people cannot compare to."
"Really?"
"Of course!"
Yun Shuang'er's eyes flickered as she looked at Qin Ning, but then they became dim again.
"But if Young Master takes me in as a maid, when my father finds out, I'm afraid Young Master will be in big trouble."
"And if only my father objects, it's still easy to talk about, but if Yang Qiyuan finds out, I think he will stop at nothing to deal with Young Master..."
Yun Shuang'er said seriously, "In other words, if Young Master takes me in as a maid, it might cause countless troubles."
"Trouble?"
Qin Ning waved his hand and said with a smile, "Those aren't worth calling trouble, and even if they are real trouble, they are all small troubles."
"If persuasion doesn't work, just kill them all and be done with it."
Qin Ning slowly stood up and said, "Alright, if you've agreed, then come with me!"
The three left the communal living area and entered the mountain range in District 36.
As they climbed the mountain, the spiritual energy halfway up the mountain had become incredibly rich.
"This is..."
"A spiritual vein!"
Yun Shuang'er was astonished.
Spiritual veins on the Jiuyou Continent were extremely rare. As long as one appeared, it could contain enough spiritual energy to allow an empire to continuously produce powerful cultivators.
If the Heavenly God Academy could open this spiritual vein, it would certainly be able to continuously promote inner disciples to become Spirit Apprentice disciples.
"It's just a terrestrial spiritual vein..." Qin Ning said indifferently.
It's just...
If Yun Shuang'er had never seen Qin Ning's abilities, she would definitely have thought Qin Ning was an idiot by now.
A terrestrial spiritual vein, even her Yunlan Empire, or even the Lingyang Upper Kingdom, would be extremely interested in it.
Yet, in Qin Ning's eyes, it was nothing important...
Inside a mountain cave, the three stopped.
"Go in!"
Qin Ning pointed at the stream in the spiritual vein and said.
The last time the giant rock Jiao-dragon died, this stream had become clear, and there was also an abundance of spiritual energy.
Although Yun Shuang'er didn't understand what Qin Ning intended to do, she still stepped forward.
Spiritual energy was very important for cultivation, this was not wrong.
However, she herself had tried many different methods since childhood, but she was completely unable to store spiritual energy in her body, and couldn't even open a single realm.
What exactly did Qin Ning want to do?
"From now on, listen to me..."
Qin Ning slowly said, "Follow the method I tell you!"
"Draw in spiritual energy, condense it within the Baihui acupoint in your body, then let it circulate through the Tianguan acupoint, next enter the Mingyu acupoint, and then pass through the Gonggu acupoint..."
Qin Ning explained ceaselessly. Yun Shuang'er followed Qin Ning's instructions precisely and began to cultivate.
