Chapter 88: A Spectacular Scene of Enlightenment
“So, send one million spirit stones’ worth of rare treasures to my palace every month. They don’t need to assist with cultivation—just being peculiar enough is enough. I don’t care one bit about cost-effectiveness!”
Before leaving, Qin Bei placed a long-term order.
If you want to purchase rare cultivation resources, the best place is definitely the Langya Pavilion’s auction house.
For everyday cultivation resources, the Royal Merchant is undoubtedly the best choice since you can get discounts.
And for those rare treasures that might lack cultivation value but are perhaps eye-catching or delicious, you must visit the Wanwu Pavilion in Falling Phoenix Tower.
They specialize in selling these delightful goods.
If you asked them to procure some rare cultivation resources, the Wanwu Pavilion wouldn’t even want to take that business.
While not many people buy these unique treasures, the profit margins are high.
It’s just like luxury goods.
…
“Xiaobei, if others find out how you spend, they’ll definitely spill it to Father behind your back. You should take it easy,” Qin Zhen advised.
“What’s there to fear? All the money this time was earned by me. I can spend it however I want—who’s going to stop me?” Qin Bei declared confidently.
“But… those spirit stones do seem to be provided by the royal family, right?” Qin Xuan poked cautiously.
Qin Bei: …
“That’s money I earned from the royal family myself! No one has a say in it! Even if the King of Heaven comes today, it won’t matter!” Qin Bei exclaimed.
Qin Xuan: …
Qin Zhen: …
The two looked at Qin Bei.
Well, it seems no one can reason with him.
“Forget it, let’s drop this topic. Many people have already gathered at the Spirit Pavilion. We should head over,” Qin Zhen finally said, changing the subject.
“Let’s go.”
Qin Bei felt exceptionally confident at that moment.
If it were yesterday, he might have been wary of Qin Xiu, who possessed a comprehension body.
Because his krypton points were insufficient, he couldn’t use enlightenment multiple times.
And while the dual-pupil’s ability was impressive, it couldn’t guarantee perfect comprehension of a supernatural ability every single time.
For instance, while learning the “Extinction Gun Technique,” the dual-pupil wasn’t as effective as direct enlightenment.
But now, it was a different story! With plenty of krypton points at his disposal, he could use the enlightenment opportunities as he pleased!
It only costs one hundred krypton points each time.
With my sixteen thousand krypton points, I could use this one hundred sixty times—plenty to learn a supernatural ability!
…
As Qin Bei and his companions arrived at the Spirit Pavilion, they found a crowd of tens of thousands inside.
And this time, it wasn’t just the younger generation; plenty of elders showed up too.
Although these big shots usually appeared serious, they couldn’t wait once they heard that Ling Kexin was recruiting her first guest of honor.
These old timers couldn’t wait to make an appearance.
Fortunately, with foresight, Qin Zhen reserved a private box in advance, sparing the three from fighting over seats with a sea of people.
“Lucky I didn’t head out training; otherwise, I would have missed such a spectacular scene.”
“It’s rare to hear Miss Ling’s ten new songs all at once.”
“But I won’t get the chance to be the guest of honor this time, alas~”
“Isn’t it obvious the guest of honor is meant for Prince Xiu? Let’s save our energy; just being able to listen is good enough.”
“I’m worried that once Prince Xiu becomes the guest of honor, he won’t let Miss Ling perform for anyone else. That’ll be tough for us!”
“Stop thinking about it! Even if that is the result, there’s nothing we can do to stop it. I just hope that when we start comprehending, Prince Xiu can give us a little face; at least wait until we’ve fully grasped one song before calling it a day.”
“Today, I must learn about the ability of the Comprehension Body! I want to see whether the Comprehension Body is stronger, or my years of experience are superior!”
…
Onlookers were discussing the box where Qin Xiu was seated.
Everyone knew they couldn’t possibly compete with Qin Xiu when it came to comprehension.
They came here today, firstly to join the fun, and secondly, to listen to Ling Kexin’s new music.
Of course, it’d be even better if she showed up today.
“Tsk, what a bunch of people who’ve never seen the world! They only know how powerful Qin Xiu is, not realizing how strong you are too, Xiaobei,” Qin Zhen scoffed at the crowd’s chatter.
“What’s this? Is there a grudge between my brother and Qin Xiu? You seem to be quite unfavorable toward him,” Qin Bei asked, puzzled.
“It’s not exactly a grudge; it’s just that I couldn’t stand him back then.”
After speaking, Qin Zhen fixed his gaze on Qin Bei.
“Xiaobei, you must not lose to Qin Xiu this time. Otherwise, with his character, you’ll soon hear bad rumors about you in the capital.”
“Oh~ Don’t worry! Ling Kexin’s music can help with cultivation. I’m really keen on that, so I’ll definitely give my all to be the first guest to enter the curtain!” Qin Bei chuckled.
…
“Everyone!”
Xiaohuan’s voice echoed from the second floor.
The noisy crowd below instantly fell silent.
“I won’t elaborate on the rules; everyone understands.”
“My lady has prepared ten new songs. After this, everyone will rely on their own abilities.”
Xiaohuan didn’t go into deeper explanation.
Once Ling Kexin’s music began, everyone knew exactly what to do next.
Sure enough, when the first song played, everyone closed their eyes to feel the song’s essence.
Qin Xiu in the box immediately entered the zone.
Soon, the second song followed.
The third song…
The fifth song…
The tenth song…
All ten songs played simultaneously in the Spirit Pavilion.
This significantly increased the difficulty for the audience.
Most couldn’t even grasp one song at a time; having ten songs at once sent their brains into confusion.
Let alone attempting to calm down and comprehend.
Those who could manage to meditate on the music were all talented individuals.
Of course, there were plenty of shameless old codgers as well.
…
From the moment Qin Bei heard the music, an indescribable feeling washed over him.
The runes in his pupils flickered ceaselessly. Without Qin Bei steering them, it felt like they were ready to soar out and shine their brilliance.
This made Qin Bei hold off on using enlightenment initially, opting instead to delve into this incredible sensation slowly.
And this exploration consumed half an hour.
This ruffled Qin Zhen nearby.
“What’s wrong with your brother? Why hasn’t he reacted for so long?” Qin Zhen gazed at Qin Xuan, puzzled.
“How would I know? I’m not him,” Qin Xuan casually munched on snacks, unfazed.
“Tsk~”
Qin Zhen grew increasingly anxious, for some crowd members had already successfully grasped the song’s essence.
Most critically, Qin Xiu had already completed the fifth song.
And Qin Bei hadn’t even finished one yet—he was clearly on a losing track!
