Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

The Empress Dowager appeared somewhat excited.

”The Empress has left the Imperial Capital?!”

Qin Yu’s expression instantly turned grave.

One must know, the Empress usually resides in the Imperial Capital and rarely departs.

The Empress’s departure implies that something uncontrollable might have happened in other parts of the Great Yan Immortal Country!

This is definitely not good news!

Why would the Empress Dowager be so happy?!

”Qin Yu, would you like to stroll around the Imperial Capital? I grant you special permission today to take me and Little Ling’Er out of the palace.”

The Empress Dowager maintained her dignified manner with a stern expression.

”Is it because the Empress left the palace, the Empress Dowager sees this as an opportunity to sneak out, hence her happiness?”

Qin Yu found it somewhat unbelievable.

Little Ling’Er seemed to have noticed Qin Yu’s confusion and quietly explained, ”Brother Qin Yu may not know, last time when the Empress Dowager took me out, it aggravated the hidden illness in her body. Since then, the Empress has strictly forbidden the Empress Dowager from easily stepping out of the palace gates.”

”I see.”

Qin Yu felt relieved, yet somewhat worried in his heart.

Even with the Empress’s absence from the Imperial Capital, taking the Empress Dowager and Princess out would definitely not escape the attention within the palace.

If the Empress were to inquire about it later...

”Qin Yu, what are you thinking about? I am asking you a question!”

The Empress Dowager impatiently tugged Qin Yu’s arm.

Only then did Qin Yu regain his composure, realizing that as long as the Empress was absent, no one in the palace dared to stop her.

”Then...let’s go out for a walk.”

Qin Yu obediently followed the Empress Dowager’s wishes.

It was just right, having been in the Imperial Capital for a while, he hadn’t yet taken his beloved wife out.

So he made a request, ”May I bring my wife along...”

”Certainly, I allow it!”

Before he finished speaking, the Empress Dowager had already granted permission.

A moment later, the group left the palace through a side gate.

Among the dozen people, Qin Yu was the only male, and each of the women had their unique beauty.

Especially the beautiful master, the Sect Leader, and the Empress Dowager...

Wait.

The faces of the Empress Dowager and Little Ling’Er seemed to be shrouded in a layer of moonlight, faint and unclear.

Still, such a group attracted a lot of attention.

Fortunately, Yan Yu always wore the distinctive attire of the Flame Guard, and the mere glance from onlookers was quickly averted, not daring to look directly.

Attractive women may draw attention, but they’re seen as untouchable, and no one dared harbor inappropriate thoughts, not even letting their gaze linger lightly, for fear of being rude.

Qin Yu cast his gaze upon this magnificent city.

Streets lined with various shops, Spiritual Power wafted, vaguely hinting at the extraordinary items within.

This scene filled the former Sect Leader Su Xihe with emotion.

Here, even the most inconspicuous little shop contained items with flowing Spiritual Power that back in Yunlan Domain could serve as the grand finale of a major auction!

The sights of Lin Shuishui and Zhao Mengli were also drawn to the objects in various shops.

However, with the Empress Dowager and Princess ahead, they were somewhat restrained and did not wander about like little girls.

But before Lin Shuishui and the others could make a move, the Empress Dowager had already gracefully stepped into a bustling shop full of people.

Most intriguingly, amidst the crowded space, the hem of the Empress Dowager’s garment never got touched by anyone, each time someone was about to bump into her, it was as if they were pushed away by an invisible force.

Standing at the rear, Qin Yu observed this and seemed to gain some understanding.

That day when he accidentally collided with the Empress Dowager, the look of astonishment on her face turned out not to be from the pain of being hit.

With Yan Yu’s arrival, it seemed an invisible barrier was placed over the crowded shop, the people quickly and orderly dispersed.

Everyone knew what the symbol of the Flame Guard represented.

Thus, it provided convenience for the Empress Dowager and Lin Shuishui and the others.

Only Little Ling’Er and Yan Yu quietly accompanied Qin Yu.

These were some pretty trinkets, sparkling and delightful looking, it was evident that the Empress Dowager was fond of them, taking a quite a few pieces.

Curious indeed!

Qin Yu could tell that these accessories were merely beautiful, presumably not very practical and not beneficial for cultivation.

How could someone like the Empress Dowager of the Immortal Country enjoy such things?!

Lin Shuishui and Zhao Mengli, though constantly watching, did not dare to choose.

Seeing this, Qin Yu felt somewhat touched.

They had been with him for a long time, and although he never spared any cultivation resources for them, in other aspects...he indeed hadn’t adequately taken care.

Qin Yu moved behind them and said, ”If you fancy something, just buy it!”

After all, as a Royal Court Tributor, they shouldn’t be unable to afford such items, worst case, he could sacrifice some dignity and make a trip to the Carefree Pavilion.

He can’t fix arrays,

But he can process some Elixirs in exchange for Spirit Stones.

”Really?!”

”Thank you, my lord!”

Lin Shuishui and the others began to pick, and even the Empress Dowager helped to choose some accessories that matched their temperament.

Originally, Su Xihe and the others didn’t intend to pick.

After all, in their view, Qin Yu already worked extremely hard to provide cultivation resources, how could he waste Spirit Stones on trivial things?

However, under Qin Yu’s insistence, they picked out a few pieces.

Later, the group purchased some clothes and apparel.

Qin Yu patiently reviewed and gave his opinions.

Everything looked nice, but...none was quite what he wanted.

Do they need to be custom-made?!

Unknowingly, the group arrived at the end of the main thoroughfare, where a majestic building stood.

A golden plaque hung above the entrance to the building, with three large characters elegantly inscribed—Carefree Pavilion!

Looking from outside in, Carefree Pavilion was towering, six stories high. Inside, the goods were varied and abundant, dazzling to the eye. Amidst the clamor, Qin Yu even heard the cries of Spirit Beasts and...roosters.

”Immortal Master, come and have some fun.”

”The noble young master, would you deign to match your elegance with mine?”

”Sir seems like a master in subduing demons. Our shop has captured several alien Demonesses; would sir have time to come and subdue them?”

It’s indeed the Carefree Pavilion, with even Spirit Beasts for sale?

Qin Yu tutted in amazement, no wonder the Carefree Pavilion is so renowned; their scale and encompassing of various aspects are far beyond what other shops can compare to.

Just uncertain about how that demon is to be subdued.

Not sure if it’s proper...

But with such a large Carefree Pavilion, surely it couldn’t be conducting improper business, right?!
