Chapter 3006

After parting with He Nong, Yan Xiwan and Ouyang Tianyun finally had some time for themselves.

"What is your current cultivation level?" Yan Xiwan asked.

"I had been suppressing my cultivation in the mortal realm. Once I entered the cultivation world, I could no longer hold it back, so I broke through. I am now at the late stage of Void Transformation." Ouyang Tianyun replied.

"Wow, your speed is too fast. I am only at the early stage of Soul Formation, yet you are already at the late stage of Void Transformation. How am I supposed to catch up?"

Yan Xiwan looked dejected.

To comfort her, Ouyang Tianyun said, "There is no need to catch up. I will always be by your side."

"What are you saying?" Yan Xiwan felt a bit helpless at his thick skin.

"Your face is too thick."

"What can I do? In front of my own wife, having a thick skin helps me steal kisses, right?" Ouyang Tianyun said, winking at Yan Xiwan.

Yan Xiwan was speechless but smiled. "You… I remember my mother said you used to be very gentle and refined."

"That was for outsiders," Ouyang Tianyun laughed. "Being gentle and refined creates distance, which prevents people from plotting against me. But wife, you are my partner. If I were distant and refined with you, that would be inappropriate."

Well, it had to be said, Ouyang Tianyun’s words made sense.

"By the way, did your adoptive parents object to you coming to find me?" Yan Xiwan changed the subject.

"What objection? Why would there be an objection?" Ouyang Tianyun said naturally. "You are my wife. What objection could there be to me finding my own wife?"

Hearing this, Yan Xiwan smiled and said no more.

Yan Xiwan looked at the sky. "I wonder where Senior Sister Hongmei is now?"

Pan Hongmei had returned to the cultivation world early because her husband, Lu Fang, needed to undergo marrow cleansing again. Yan Xiwan and Ouyang Tianyun had seen them off back then.

"In the cultivation world, it is all about fate. As long as the fate exists, we will meet again," Ouyang Tianyun said seriously.

Yan Xiwan nodded, then added, "By the way, are your adoptive parents the Immortal Emperor and Empress?"

"Yes," Ouyang Tianyun said. "My adoptive parents sensed my return, so they came to the cultivation world to see me. Besides, the cultivation world falls under my adoptive father’s management."

"Where are your adoptive parents now?" Yan Xiwan asked again.

"At the Piaomiao Palace," Ouyang Tianyun said. "The Piaomiao Palace has not appeared for tens of thousands of years. Many have long forgotten the once famous Piaomiao Palace. This was my adoptive father’s method. He did not want the palace to become arrogant because of him, so he kept it hidden. When I was swept into the spatial current, the place I returned to was the Piaomiao Palace."

"That was truly lucky. I didn’t even know where I was, but the scenery was nice," Yan Xiwan said.

"If I hadn’t needed to break through, I would have come to find you as soon as I saw your message. Wife, I missed you." By the end, Ouyang Tianyun sounded a bit like he was acting spoiled.

Hearing this, warmth appeared in Yan Xiwan’s eyes. "Actually, I missed you too."

"Since you missed me, and I missed you, we must properly relieve our longing today."

Ouyang Tianyun spoke seriously. As for what "relieving longing" meant, Yan Xiwan woke up the next day rubbing her waist. Indeed, one should not let a man go hungry for too long.

Fortunately, another day passed, and the pill trading fair began. Yan Xiwan was glad she could temporarily escape her grasp.

Ouyang Tianyun pretended not to notice Yan Xiwan’s relief. she simply held her hand and led her to the pill trading market.

As soon as they entered the market, Yan Xiwan praised it in her heart. It was no wonder this trading market was held in Pill City, the home of the Pill Sect. The place was large, and the variety was extensive.

The size was evident in the three-story building, filled with various pill trading stalls.

The variety was shown by the fact that two-thirds of the pill types in the cultivation world were gathered here.

Yan Xiwan knew how to refine pills herself. She also had various top-grade pills provided by Zhu Yanyi. Plus, if she needed pills, she could refine them herself. Therefore, she had no interest in the pills.

What interested her were the medicinal herbs.

The herbs here were not only provided by major sects related to pills but also included opportunities obtained by those who participated in secret realm trials. If they did not need these herbs themselves, they could bring them here to trade.

"This place is quite large. In the mortal realm, finding rare medicinal herbs was like a gift from heaven. Now, here, I see many rare herbs," Yan Xiwan sighed.

"If you like them, buy them," Ouyang Tianyun said, acting like a wealthy person.

Yan Xiwan laughed. "If I see something suitable and needed, I won’t be polite. I was just expressing my feelings."

There were many herbs here, but Yan Xiwan’s Ruyi Space already contained many of them. Now, she was looking for herbs or herb seeds that her space did not have.

As a qualified pill refiner, collecting medicinal herbs was more important.

"This is clearly mine."

"It is mine."

Yan Xiwan and Ouyang Tianyun had not walked far when they heard people arguing.

"These two are really bold, arguing in this trading market," a nearby stall owner commented.

Ouyang Tianyun asked casually, "Boss, can’t people argue in this trading market?"

"No. The trading market has a supervision and patrol team. If anyone makes a scene or argues here, they will be thrown out. Moreover, they will be restricted from entering in the future, becoming blacklisted customers," the stall owner said.

Yan Xiwan said, "This practice seems unkind, but to control safety here, it is the best method."

"Exactly," the stall owner said with a smile. "It is very safe here. No cultivators will bully others."

Yan Xiwan and Ouyang Tianyun looked at each other. Ouyang Tianyun said, "It seems this place is indeed very harmonious."

"Isn’t it? So these two are fools. Arguing here, regardless of who is right or wrong, brings them no benefit."

The stall owner sighed.

Yan Xiwan laughed. "Isn’t it? Does this count as a classic example of self-inflicted trouble?"

While they were talking, the market’s patrol team appeared. Each member of the patrol team had Nascent Soul cultivation. They directly took the people away. They came quickly and left quickly, causing little panic.

Yan Xiwan had to admit that the patrol team’s speed was very good. At least, it did not cause panic among ordinary people.

That was right. In the cultivation world, most were cultivators, but there were also some ordinary people.
