Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 390: Chapter 389, do you want to help me orally?

”Sister Yao, I’ve got something to do, you take your time eating.” Xu Wendong changed his clothes in his room and said after entering the living room, ”By the way, I won’t be back tonight.”

Wang Luyao forced a smile, then watched Xu Wendong close the door and leave, feeling a bit empty inside.

Of course.

She felt more confused.

Xu Wendong clearly didn’t reject her, so why was he indifferent to her advances?

------

Xu Wendong waited at the neighborhood entrance for over twenty minutes, then Ye Qingxin drove up in a business car, harboring a lot of resentment toward Xu Wendong’s untimely calls.

But that’s just it!

She could only vent her dissatisfaction through rapid acceleration or slamming the brakes at the traffic lights.

Xu Wendong lazily sat in the boss’s seat and laughed, ”Don’t have such a big attitude. Once we get back from Su Province this time, I promise you’ll quickly break through the barrier and become the seventh Great Grandmaster!”

”Really?” Ye Qingxin showed a look of surprise.

Xu Wendong nodded, ”There’s a Pill Furnace auction in Su Province tonight. Once I get it, I can turn decay into magic.”

”Enlarging the distinction between cultivators and ordinary people to an infinite extent!”

Ye Qingxin was full of anticipation.

There was indeed a world of difference between cultivators and ordinary people, but was it really just the disparity in strength?

Oh no, no!

Indeed, a cultivator’s power was immense, but truly formidable were the spells, elixirs, the Way of Talismans, and those magical Divine Skills that a cultivator relied on to survive.

Now, she finally had the good fortune to witness Xu Wendong engage with those things.

So she didn’t let her efforts go to waste!

After the excitement, Ye Qingxin calmed down and said, ”As far as I know, the Six Great Grandmasters have been searching for cultivators’ traces over the years, including the Magic Artifacts, weapons, and Internal Cultivation Methods they’ve used.”

”The appearance of such a treasure in Su Province will surely attract the Six Grandmasters’ attention. They might even spend a fortune to bid on it.”

Xu Wendong was puzzled, ”Why are they searching for cultivators’ traces?”

Ye Qingxin said, ”Cultivators are different from martial artists, having many realms and even being able to Ascend to Immortality and live forever.”

”But the ultimate realm for martial artists is the Great Grandmaster. Although a Great Grandmaster’s lifespan is longer than an ordinary person’s by one full cycle, they will eventually die.”

”Only by surpassing the Great Grandmaster can they extend their lifespan, which is why they’re looking for traces of cultivators!”

Xu Wendong was relieved.

Ye Qingxin asked, ”Do you have enough money to bid on that treasure?”

Xu Wendong answered truthfully, ”I have less than two billion.”

Ye Qingxin’s mouth twitched madly, ”Less than two billion? Don’t you feel like you’re showing off?”

She knew Xu Wendong was only eighteen. Having so much money at eighteen was rare even across all of Great Xia.

”If the Six Great Grandmasters participate in the bidding, the money I have might not be enough!” Xu Wendong’s expression was stern.

Ye Qingxin: ”Be more confident; it’s not that it might not be enough, it’s absolutely not enough!”

Xu Wendong felt a bit troubled.

It was his first time worrying about money.

As a cultivator, this really shouldn’t be the case.

”I’ll make a call to try to gather some funds!” Xu Wendong said, picking up the phone and thinking of calling Huang Ruirui, considering he still held fifty percent of the Wishful Company shares.

”It’s useless, no matter who you call, they can’t help you. This auction requires a huge amount of funds,” Ye Qingxin interrupted, ”Actually, the Life-Seeking Sect can help you with this.”

”The Life-Seeking Sect has a long tradition. Although it’s the weakest among The Outer Eight Sects, taking out a few hundred billion isn’t difficult!”

Xu Wendong shook his head, ”Maybe the Life-Seeking Sect isn’t short of money, but I don’t want to use their money. After all, this is my private matter!”

Ye Qingxin sighed helplessly, ”I’ve noticed you’re only good at chasing girls and playing with women. You’re not good at anything else and can’t adapt.”

”I...” Xu Wendong was full of displeasure, ”How am I not adaptable?”

Ye Qingxin ignored Xu Wendong and found Mo Yuan’s number to call, as Mo Yuan was now a high-ranking elder in the Life-Seeking Sect.

”Elder Mo, here’s the thing,” Ye Qingxin said straightforwardly, ”The Sect Leader wants to help the Life-Seeking Sect disciples by forging some elixirs to quickly boost their strength.”

”He’s been so worried about it that he can’t eat or sleep.”

”But there’s no Pill Furnace. However, there is one for auction in Su Province tonight.”

”I was thinking we could just help him buy the Pill Furnace. What do you think?”

Xu Wendong was startled.

Clearly doing something personal but presenting it so righteously.

One had to admit.

Men could hardly compare to women when it came to lying.

Upon hearing that Xu Wendong wanted to forge elixirs for the Life-Seeking Sect disciples, Mo Yuan immediately promised to support them.

Sure enough.

Less than ten minutes after hanging up.

Ye Qingxin’s Swiss Bank received a large transfer, a total of fifty billion.

Looking at the long string of digits, Xu Wendong couldn’t help but feel his heart race, his confidence growing.

At four in the afternoon.

They arrived in the capital of Su Province.

The auction venue was in the Ancient City District of Su Province, with small bridges and flowing water, a typical Jiangnan water town architectural style, giving a feeling of traveling back in time to ancient eras.

Since the auction wasn’t until eight in the evening, they found a bed-and-breakfast to stay in. Meanwhile, Xu Wendong asked Ye Qingxin to buy some cinnabar, a wolf-hair brush, and talisman paper.

Although he had over fifty billion, he couldn’t guarantee that this money would be enough for the Pill Furnace, so he planned to draw some talismans.

If he could make talismans, they could sell for a good price.

By five in the evening.

Ye Qingxin returned to the bed-and-breakfast with the items Xu Wendong needed, but her face was heavy with concern.

”What’s wrong?”

Although Xu Wendong treated Ye Qingxin like a servant, he didn’t miss the necessary care; it was the basic decency expected of a person.

After all, he might have to kneel before her in the future...

Ye Qingxin whispered, ”I saw that person’s disciple.” Her eyes showed a fierce killing intent as she spoke.

”His name is Nie Yunchuan, that person’s Inner Chamber Disciple who killed my mother with a single palm strike right before my eyes!”

Tears unwillingly streamed down her eyes, conveying grievance, pain, and helplessness.

Xu Wendong softly said, ”Then after the auction, let’s kill him to get some interest back for your late mother!”

Ye Qingxin shook her head in pain, ”Nie Yunchuan reached the Grandmaster level thirty years ago. Although I’ve reached that realm too, I certainly can’t defeat him.”

Xu Wendong smiled charmingly and wiped her tears away, saying softly, ”You still have me, don’t you?”

This simple sentence instantly soothed Ye Qingxin’s anger, calming her as she was moved, feeling so full it seemed it would overflow at any moment.

Then she apparently thought of something and gave Xu Wendong a side-eye, ”These sweet words you said, are you trying to make me help you?”

Xu Wendong raised an eyebrow, ”So do you want to help me?”
