After Accidentally Marrying My Sister-in-law, My 10,000x Cultivation Begins

151: They’re old acquaintances, can you afford to replace them?Feng Ming was dumbfounded, his entire body freezing on the spot.

Damn it!

He actually had a Breakthrough at a time like this.

While a Breakthrough was a good thing...

Breaking through at this moment was simply beyond awkward.

Those in the know would realize he had a Breakthrough; those who didn’t would think he had crashed before even taking off.

Like a complete collapse at the finish line.

What should he do?

Feng Ming’s hesitation at the critical moment caused the infatuated Hua Dieer to gradually sober up.

She hurriedly pushed Feng Ming away and straightened her clothes, her face flushed crimson.

At this moment, Feng Ming was incredibly embarrassed.

He was clearly just one step away from ’eating the meat,’ and Hua Dieer hadn’t been repulsed by him just now; she hadn’t refused.

Success had been within reach, but as a result of this Breakthrough, his strength had increased, but the meat at his lips was gone.

No, he had to explain himself.

”Uh... I... about just now...”

Just as Feng Ming opened his mouth to defend himself, Hua Dieer spoke up.

”No need to say anything, I understand.”

Feng Ming shook his head, ”No, you don’t understand. What I mean is, I just had a Breakthrough just now; it’s not that I’m incapable.”

”Young Master Feng, I still have things to attend to, so I won’t see you out.”

Hua Dieer’s face was beet red as she turned to walk toward the door. Feng Ming awkwardly packed his things and followed her out.

This whole situation... he had originally only come to return the Formation, but he had almost ended up in bed with Hua Dieer.

Just by a hair’s breadth.

Fate is a strange thing, isn’t it?

Some people know each other for a lifetime and remain mere acquaintances.

While others are unforgettable after just one meeting.

As for him, he had met Hua Dieer twice and they almost ended up doing ’this and that’.

People really are very different from one another.

He and Lu An’an shared mutual feelings, and from Liumian Prefecture to Qingyang City until now, they had only kissed.

On the other hand, with this Hua Dieer, whom he’d known for only a few days and met only twice, things had progressed to this stage... When Feng Ming left, Hua Dieer had already exited the private room and headed straight for her own room.

She hid in her room, watching Feng Ming leave.

As a breeze blew past, the flush on her face faded slightly.

However, her mind involuntarily drifted back to what had just happened, and her face reddened the moment she thought of it.

She patted her cheeks and said, ”Hua Dieer, you must be crazy. You actually didn’t refuse such a thing. You couldn’t have actually fallen for that guy, could you?”

Hua Dieer didn’t dare think further, because her marriage and love did not belong to her.

Moreover, Feng Ming hadn’t said he liked her.

She must have been stirred up by Feng Ming... Feng Ming walked with brisk steps, quickly leaving the Hua Clan Merchant House.

It was as if someone were chasing him from behind.

In reality, he truly was afraid. The Hua Clan Merchant House had many experts; if they thought he was a lecher and attacked him, he wouldn’t be able to handle it.

He hadn’t thought much of it before, thinking it was all in fun, but no one expected that playing around would lead to a near-misfire.

The more he thought about it, the faster his pace became.

He didn’t return to the Feng family home but went straight to the Lingxiao Sect.

Today was the start of the term. Although the Sect Master hadn’t forced him to return today, he had just nearly caused a huge disaster, so it was better to go to the Sect and stay quiet for a while.

By the time he reached the Sect, it was already afternoon. Feng Ming entered and caught up with the Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters, and some Elders who were leading the Disciples on a tour of the Sect.

This was to help the Disciples familiarize themselves with the Sect’s environment and adapt to Sect life as quickly as possible.

Feng Ming looked around but didn’t see his wife. He couldn’t help but wonder, so he found Feng Mian and asked.

”Big Brother, where is my wife?”

Feng Mian pointed toward the Spirit Mountain. ”There. She’s been Cultivating over there since yesterday. I reckon she wants to have a quick Breakthrough.”

Jiang Shuwan had the Dragon-Phoenix Jade Pendant on her to hide her strength, so ordinary Disciples couldn’t see through her cultivation level at all.

Even Feng Mian only knew her Realm from what the family had told him.

Feng Ming knew Jiang Shuwan was under pressure. Learning that she was Cultivating, he didn’t say anything; he had already given her the Medicinal Pills he had refined yesterday.

It would be good if she could achieve a Breakthrough, but it didn’t matter if she didn’t.

It was just that this Foolish Wife was set on following in his footsteps, fearing she wouldn’t be able to help him in the future.

She was working desperately hard.

Feng Ming could only support her.

Feng Ming followed the crowd forward and discerned their destination from the various conversations.

They were visiting the Library Pavilion.

Amidst the various noises, Feng Ming even overheard some gossip.

He hadn’t expected that the elderly Elder Xu actually had a sweetheart.

As expected, men only behave once they’re dead and buried.

A man who’s already a grandfather, yet still playing around like this.

It was hard for Feng Ming to connect this Elder Xu with the Elder Xu he knew.

However, Feng Ming wasn’t interested in that.

Since the destination was the Library Pavilion, he was more interested in whether there were any good items inside.

Regarding his Cultivation so far, he was still lacking a good Movement Technique.

During the last battle against The Two Elders of Chi Mei, he had no Movement Technique at all and relied entirely on raw Qi output.

As a Senior Brother who had entered the Sect earlier, Feng Mian naturally knew this information and immediately began explaining to Feng Ming.

”There are some. Most are Profound-grade, and there are some earth grade ones, but they require a lot of points and are hard to exchange for.”

Feng Ming asked about his specific need, ”Are there any Movement Techniques?”

Feng Mian nodded. ”There are, but they’re expensive. They cost 2,999 points. If converted to Spirit Stones, it’s even more expensive—thirty million.”

Feng Ming sucked in a breath of cold air.

This was a bit exaggerated. For just an earth grade Cultivation Technique to be sold for thirty million Spirit Stones was definitely an astronomical price.

But considering the Sect’s purpose, Feng Ming understood.

The Sect wasn’t trying to make money by selling things; it was to encourage Disciples to do more missions.

They would sell them, of course; as long as you were rich enough and willing to be a sucker, there was no problem with that.

The Sect wouldn’t turn down money.

It was just that in terms of value, it certainly wasn’t worth it.

After all, with that much money, one could probably get more at an auction house.

Soon, the group arrived at the Library Pavilion. Feng Ming followed Feng Mian to a counter and saw a circular Jade Slip placed behind it.

Below the Jade Slip was the name and the points required for exchange.

[Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves Art: Exchange for 2,999 points!]

It was exactly as Feng Mian had said.

Feng Mian sighed, ”This thing is incredibly expensive. I’ve never heard of anyone successfully exchanging for it. This is the most expensive technique in the Sect.”

Feng Ming stared at the Jade Slip, wondering how he could get his hands on it.

At that moment, a familiar and impatient voice came from behind them.

”I say, are you two going to exchange or not? If not, don’t block the way!”

”A good dog doesn’t block the path. Move aside quickly.”

Feng Ming and Feng Mian turned to look and immediately started laughing.

Feng Mian couldn’t help but speak up, ”Oho, an old acquaintance! What, can you afford it?”
