Chapter 1598: Agreement

Before speaking to Ling Yun’s clone, Ling Shaohan discussed the matter with his wife, Shuang Yin. "We have no problem with that, but we’d like to know the population there first. Since they’re only your close friends, I’m sure their numbers aren’t that large, right? After all, an entertainment business like ours requires a lot of capital, and we need careful planning to open a new branch. If the revenue from the new venue is too small, we’ll have trouble recouping our capital."

"I’m not a businessman, but I understand what you mean." Ling Yun took out a few more pills. "The pills I showed you aren’t all in my collection, and I still have many others. This Beauty Returning Pill is the most sought-after pill by both men and women, and no alchemist in the universe possesses it. They might be able to concoct a similar pill, but I guarantee that its effects won’t be able to match mine."

"The Beauty Returning Pill." Shuang Yin was tempted by the pill. "How much is one pill?"

"Ten billion superior-grade profound stones for one pill."

"Are you kidding me?" Bai Lingyao, along with Shuang Yin, was equally shocked by the exorbitant price. "Ten billion superior-grade profound stones for one pill is an extremely high price!"

Ling Yun laughed as he remembered that Zhou Yu sold a Beauty Returning Pill for four million high-grade profound stones in the past, especially when they first arrived in the upper realm. However, he didn’t want to sell the pill for that price because cultivators from the Supreme Realm were much richer than those in the Sky Cloud Realm, so he adjusted the price to suit the situation. "Senior Yin, other alchemists’ beauty pills don’t have permanent effects, but mine do. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Xue Jing and Tian Qinglian, as they have consumed them in the past."

Shuang Yin looked at the two women, but she hadn’t known Tian Qinglian before, so she couldn’t tell the difference between her face before and after taking the Beauty Returning Pill. However, she had known Xue Jing for a long time, but she had just noticed that her face looked much younger than their last meeting, and her skin was also very firm, making her look much younger than her age.

Xue Jing smiled at her. "I was as shocked as you when I swallowed the pill for the first time, Yin. As you can see, my face and appearance are much younger now, which is thanks to the pill’s effects. I’ve tried several beauty pills in the past, but their effects only lasted a few years, and my appearance returned to normal after the effects wore off."

"How long ago did you take the pill?"

"More than two decades."

"Huh? Didn’t Ling Yun only arrive in this realm a few years ago? How could you have taken the pill more than two decades ago?" Shuang Yin and Bai Lingyao were both confused by that.

Xue Jing glanced at Ling Yun, who nodded at her. "He arrived in this realm several years ago, but his residence is different from the outside world, and the flow of time there is ten times faster than in the outside world."

"Where did you get the time formation?" Ling Shaohan asked him. "I got a time formation in the past, but it can only speed up time by one day."

Ling Yun smiled upon hearing that. "Someone gave it to me, and it’s been a huge help in getting me to this level. If she hadn’t given it to me, my cultivation wouldn’t have reached the Five God Realms by now."

"She?"

"Her name is Huang Lingzhu, and she is an expert in formations, including the time formations. You don’t need to ask about her because I myself don’t know her current location, and she always moves from one domain to another."

"How do you know her?"

"The Mysterious Tower."

"Is she one of the immortals who lives at the top of the tower?"

"Yes." Ling Yun nodded at them. "I met her after I completed all the challenges in the tower, and she gave me the time formation as an additional gift. Xue Jing has already proven the effectiveness of my pill, so you don’t need to hesitate any longer, right? Ten billion superior-grade profound stones for one pill is indeed too expensive, but the effects are worth the price, and your youth will last forever. Moreover, not a single alchemist has it, so you can’t find it anywhere."

"Although its effects are extraordinary, ten billion superior-grade profound stones for one pill is still too expensive, and few people can afford it."

Ling Yun shook his head at Shuang Yin. "I don’t sell my pills casually outside, and I only sell them to certain people because I don’t want to attract trouble. If all the cultivators in the Supreme Realm found out about my pills, things would be chaotic because they would be looking for me wherever I go. You only need to take them once, and the effects last a lifetime, so the price is comparable to the beauty pills you buy every few years."

"That’s true," Shuang Yin agreed with him. "However, I don’t need to spend that much money all at once on a pill, and I can still save up for a few years to buy the next one. It’s a hassle, but it won’t burden our finances."

"Hehe," Ling Yun chuckled. "You’re right about that, but their pills don’t have all the effects of my pills. They only restore your beauty for a few years, but they don’t restore your body. On the contrary, my pill restores your youth and rejuvenates your entire body, including your private parts. So, you can imagine the powerful effects of my pills, right?"

"Is that true?"

"Yes," Xue Jing nodded to Shuang Yin. "I’ve experienced all the effects myself, so I can tell you for sure."

Shuang Yin turned to her husband. "What do you think about that?"

"Hmm?" Ling Shaohan thought for a moment. "The price of these two immortal-grade techniques is already sky-high, and it’s more than our capital to open an entertainment venue. This single pill is even more expensive, and a price that high can cover our losses for several years if the entertainment venue is empty of visitors. However, it’s impossible for Ling Yun to let his domain be quiet forever, right?"

"That’s right! I will recruit other people in the future, but I will select them strictly; otherwise, our long-standing peaceful situation will be disturbed by their presence."

"I think that’s good." Ling Shaohan returned all the items to Ling Yun. "I won’t be taking these items for now, and I’ll wait to hear from you. Once I open my entertainment venue in your domain, you can give them to me."

Ling Yun didn’t expect Ling Shaohan to say such a thing, and he immediately put everything away. "I’ll ask them to build a special place for your entertainment venue, so you won’t have to spend any more money on buying a building. I’ll let you know as soon as the construction is complete, so you can take care of everything."

"Okay." Ling Shaohan looked at Ling Xiaofei. "Can you stay here for now? I’d like to hear about our Ling Clan’s journey from when I left Earth until now."

Ling Xiaofei nodded at him. "I have no problem with that."

"In that case, I’ll leave you here, and I’ll pick you up when you’re done speaking with them." After Ling Xiaofei nodded at him, Ling Yun immediately led Di Tiandi away from the area, followed by Tian Qinglian, Xue Jing, and Bai Lingyao. "Do you want to play here, Tiandi?"

"No," Di Tiandi shook his head at his father. "I want to walk around the city, Father."

"Alright."

After they left, Shuang Yin asked Ling Xiaofei, "How did Ling Yun get all that? How did he become as strong as he is now?"

"Honestly, I don’t know where Ling Yun got all that from because he never told anyone about it, but I think someone knows everything because he was the one who first taught him to cultivate."

"Who?"

"Ling Yun gave her the name Ling Xi, but her true identity is Luxuria, the one and only lust spirit in this universe."

"Huh?" Shuang Yin and Ling Shaohan were shocked by that. "Did he really marry a woman from the spirit race?"

"Ling Xi is not the only spirit woman who married Ling Yun, but there is still the void spirit, Zhou Yu, and the lightning spirit, Lei Lin. In fact, he also has a good relationship with the spirit emperor, and he lives in that domain with the others now."

Shuang Yin and Ling Shaohan were even more shocked by this. "What about the demon race?"

Ling Xiaofei created several qi screens, which showed several images of female demons by Ling Yun’s side. She explained the identities of the women to Shuang Yin and Ling Shaohan, causing them to take a deep breath due to the large number of demons on Ling Yun’s side.

Shuang Yin pointed at one of the screens. "Who is she?"

"Her name is Diablo, and she comes from the demon realm in the lower realm. She is busy with her cultivation right now because she is not yet Ling Yun’s woman, and she started cultivating much later, so her cultivation is still low."

"I see." After that, the three of them talked about other matters, especially about the Ling Clan, the Cultivator Realm, and many more.

Meanwhile, Ling Yun took Di Tiandi and the three women for a walk in the city, but they saw a commotion in front of a shop.

Soon, they saw a young man being sent flying and hitting the wall. They raised their eyebrows as they saw the silhouette of a phoenix emerge from the crowd, followed by a fireball heading toward the man.

However, an old man suddenly appeared to protect the young man and dispel the fireball. "Young miss, you don’t have to act so outrageously, right?"
