Chapter 200: Does Wang Xing Want Anything?

Tianji City, Qianye Continent.

As the intelligence hub of the Myriad Laws World, the ‘Jianghu Baixiaosheng’ has become one of the most common professions in Tianji City.

Whether it’s Jianghu Grandmasters and martial artists, or major and minor Sects in the Cultivation world seeking revenge, looking for someone, or getting their fortunes told, Tianji City is basically the first choice.

Not only that, whether they are princes and princesses from Mortal dynasties, or Disciples and Fairies from major and minor Sects, they all love to come to Tianji City to have their marital fortunes read.

After all, since ancient times, love has been the eternal theme for all races.

Which man doesn’t wish for his other half to have a generous bosom, long legs, and formidable magical power?

And which woman doesn’t wish for her other half to be graceful, elegant, and exceptionally handsome?

And the marital fortune-telling in Tianji City is famously accurate.

Especially the Clear Heaven Mystic Maiden Temple in Tianji City.

The Clear Heaven Mystic Maiden is revered as the Goddess of Love, a status equivalent to the mythical matchmaker Yue Lao.

Therefore, besides being a center for intelligence exchange, Tianji City is also a tourist destination.

Here, Mortals and Cultivators walk side by side, bullies and good people, all sorts of fish and dragons mingle, yet not a single person dares to cause trouble here.

Because although Tianji City is a city, it is itself a Sect. Everything in Tianji City is managed by the Tianji Residence, and there are even Tianji City Disciples patrolling the streets.

The Tianji Residence is located at the center of Tianji City, comprising a large complex of palaces.

The Outer Sect Disciples of Tianji City live outside the Tianji Residence, while the Inner Sect Disciples and Direct Lineage Disciples all reside within the Tianji Residence.

And within a private courtyard in the Tianji Residence, a young maiden stood by a fish pond, watching tens of thousands of Koi fish swimming back and forth in the vast pond (which could also be called a lake).

This private courtyard is the largest compound in the entire Tianji Residence and is also the courtyard of Sikong Wangxing, the Saintess of Tianji City.

Although it is called a courtyard, its actual area covers nearly three hundred mu, meaning it’s almost as large as over twenty standard football fields.

The courtyard has pavilions, rockeries, and the largest central lake; it practically has everything.

Moreover, the tens of thousands of Koi in the lake are all Spiritual Fish, their spiritual power extremely abundant. An ordinary person eating just one could extend their life by several dozen years.

Of course, eating more is useless.

The Spiritual Plants and flowers in the courtyard are at least third-grade, and there are even a few spiritual flowers that are half-Immortal grade, the kind that would cause people in the Cultivation world to fight tooth and nail over.

The stones used for the rockeries are Spirit Gathering Stones, which stabilize the feng shui.

Generally, the function of Spirit Gathering Stones is to create an area rich in spiritual power for Core Disciples to Cultivate, or to serve as core Materials for protective Magic Formations.

However, in this courtyard, aside from their spiritual power gathering function, these stones are mostly used as decorations.

As for the leftover scraps of the Spirit Gathering Stones, they are used to pave the gravel paths.

Besides that, the trees in the courtyard are Phoenix Blood Trees and Dragon Cloud Trees, some Immortal trees that remain verdant all year round and are treasures from root to tip. The decorative paintings are the work of master painters, the sages of painting.

Everything, even the ants you might accidentally step on on the path, these ants possess the Bloodline of the Heavenly Horned Ant.

Although the Bloodline is somewhat diluted, each one is worth over ten thousand Spirit Stones, and they are priceless treasures rarely available on the market.

It can be said that in the Qianye Continent, and even throughout the entire Myriad Laws World, there is no courtyard as luxurious as this.

All of this was built by the Old City Lord of Tianji City for his granddaughter when Sikong Wangxing was born, showing just how much this old City Lord dotes on his granddaughter.

Although constructing this courtyard was somewhat troublesome for Tianji City, as many of the things used were priceless treasures rarely available on the market.

But in the end, it was resolved under Tianji City’s power of money.

This shows that there is no such thing as a priceless treasure rarely available on the market; it only means the money offered wasn’t enough.

There’s no helping it.

In terms of overall combat strength, Tianji City is not only inferior to the Zilin Holy Land in the same continent, it’s even inferior to the Sword Pavilion.

If the Ten Thousand Demon Sect launched a full-scale attack, they could rub Tianji City’s face in the dirt.

But the problem is, Tianji City is just rich!

Money is obtained through intelligence, and some intelligence cannot be exchanged for money, requiring treasures or favors instead.

If Tianji City even takes a liking to you, they might give you intelligence for free.

Thus, over the thirteen thousand years since Tianji City’s establishment, it has long accumulated countless wealth, treasures, and connections!

There are even rumors that the Sect Master of that Ten Thousand Demon Sect owes Tianji City a significant favor.

Moreover, although Cultivation is difficult, as long as one has resources, while it’s impossible to forcibly create an Ascension Realm expert, forcibly producing an Immortal Realm expert is still feasible.

An Immortal Realm City Lord of Tianji City, equipped with the most expensive Tianji Magic Formation in the entire Myriad Laws World, and finally, a bunch of Cultivators who can calculate heavenly secrets and decipher destiny.

No matter which Sect it is, even if their brains were kicked by a donkey, they wouldn’t go looking for trouble with Tianji City.

It’s said that regarding that Great Joy Temple, even before Tianji City truly began targeting them, some Sects, due to their intricate connections with Tianji City, went to trouble the Great Joy Temple, and its Disciples are already suffering immensely.

“Wang Xing, your constitution is weak, and your injuries have just healed. Come inside and rest a while.”

As the young maiden standing by the Lake of Ten Thousand Koi watched the Koi fish swimming incessantly in the lake, a gentle call slowly came from behind her.

“Mother, it’s fine. Staying in the room all the time is stifling too.”

Sikong Wangxing turned around, her face still carrying a touch of sickly pallor. The young maiden gave her mother a gentle smile.

Lin Ruo.

Sikong Wangxing’s mother, also the daughter of the Valley Master of Sword Forging Valley.

Lin Ruo was exceptionally beautiful, ranking fourth on the previous se jia ranking before her marriage.

However, compared to Lin Ruo’s beauty, her more famous title is: The World’s Richest Woman.

There’s no helping it. Sword Forging Valley is also quite wealthy.

Though now the title of World’s Richest Woman has changed hands, becoming her daughter’s.

Lin Ruo walked to her daughter’s side, gently took her daughter’s fair and soft small hand, and looked at the unhealthy sickly pallor on her daughter’s face. That frail, sickly appearance made Lin Ruo’s heart ache immensely:

“Wang Xing, in two more months, it will be your birthday. Does Wang Xing want anything?”

Lin Ruo held her daughter. The mother and daughter standing by the fish pond looked more like a pair of twin sisters.

“No, Mother. Wang Xing… Wang Xing lacks nothing.” Nestled in her mother’s embrace, Wang Xing, as if remembering something, lowered her gaze slightly.

“That won’t do. It’s your birthday after all.”

Lin Ruo lightly booped Wang Xing’s nose, looking at her precious daughter with a smile.

“After this birthday, Wang Xing will be eighteen. At the coming-of-age ceremony then, many people will propose to Wang Xing. Does Wang Xing have any man she fancies?”

“The eldest Disciple from Mother’s maiden family’s Sword Forging Pavilion isn’t bad, you know.”

“Of course, if Wang Xing doesn’t like him, that’s fine too. I hear there’s a ‘Son of the Thunder Dragon’ from the Thunder Dragon Sect in Longming Continent, and his reputation is good as well.”

“If Wang Xing likes scholars, Mother has met that youngest Junzi from the Confucian Luming Academy once. He is dignified and handsome; he would be acceptable.”

“Mother.” Sikong Wangxing shook her head with a smile. “Wang Xing doesn’t want to marry.”

In a world ravaged by Evil Gods, fearing madness, all points were invested in willpower. This is a story about using Evil Gods as tools to judge sin.
