'Heaven Rank Supreme Grade Spiritual Root! And it's the Thunder Spiritual Root, known for its domineering nature?!'
The moment he saw the reward, Qing Chen couldn't help but smile.
The reason was simple: Qing Chen's current Spiritual Root talent was a Medium Grade Earth Rank Water Spiritual Root.
Heaven Rank quality Spiritual Roots were already as rare as Phoenix feathers and Qilin horns in the entire Great Han Dynasty.
As far as Qing Chen knew, there might not even be a second Heaven Rank Supreme Grade Spiritual Root.
The only Heaven Rank Supreme Grade Spiritual Root—this was truly exhilarating!
Qing Chen immediately opened his System backpack, selected the Heaven Rank Supreme Grade Thunder Spiritual Root, and confirmed the binding.
"Binding Heaven Rank Supreme Grade Thunder Spiritual Root..."
"Heaven Rank Supreme Grade Thunder Spiritual Root successfully bound!"
It's worth mentioning that after the Heaven Rank Supreme Grade Thunder Spiritual Root was bound, Qing Chen's original Medium Grade Earth Rank Water Spiritual Root did not disappear; both coexisted perfectly.
Qing Chen was both surprised and delighted. A dual Spiritual Root talent, with one Earth Rank and one Heaven Rank—it was hard to imagine how fast his Cultivation speed would become.
Fifty Grade 4 Beauty Pills for such a reward was incredibly worthwhile for Qing Chen!
He became even more eager for the'Spoiling Wife' rewards once Han Qingyue truly embarked on the Cultivation Dao.
The things he gave out not only yielded high-quality returns, but after completely winning Han Qingyue's heart, he would also gain a Heavenly Mandate Empress as a backer—a true double kill!
"Husband?" Seeing Qing Chen standing still, looking like he had lost his soul, Han Qingyue called out.
"It's nothing, let's go." Qing Chen came back to his senses, waved his hand to hide the System panel, and left the Qing Residence with Han Qingyue.
For breakfast, Qing Chen naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to earn'Spoiling Wife' rewards. Even a mosquito's leg, no matter how small, was still meat.
What if his Luck was Heaven-Defying and he randomly got a big prize?
He casually bought a few pastries.
"Spoiling Wife successful! Congratulations to the Host for receiving a random reward: Comprehension Ability +30!"
Not bad.
Qing Chen felt that if his Comprehension Ability continued to increase like this, one day, even a Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique placed before him would allow him to achieve an Epiphany at a glance.
If he truly reached that point, an excellent idea for'stealing' knowledge popped into Qing Chen's mind: find a reason to visit the Gongfa Pavilions of various Sects, and not look much, just one glance.
As for why he only got one'Spoiling Wife' reward?
Qing Chen wanted to get more, for example, by personally feeding Han Qingyue pastries, but there were too many people on the road, and she felt embarrassed.
"Husband, where are we going?" Han Qingyue asked curiously, seeing that Qing Chen hadn't mentioned their destination.
"Qingcheng Sect. Their Sect Master has a very good private relationship with my father. It's a good opportunity to use their place to test your talent," Qing Chen replied.
"I see." Han Qingyue responded, no longer asking questions.
After that, the two rented a carriage and got in.
Although Qingcheng Sect was not far from the capital, walking would take at least half a day.
Qing Chen originally wanted to fly over directly with his sword, but he was worried about exhausting Han Qingyue, who was a mortal.
Besides that, Qing Chen had other plans.
"Wife, it's just the two of us in this carriage now. You won't be shy, will you? Come, I'll feed you." Qing Chen picked up a horseshoe pastry and brought it to Han Qingyue's mouth.
At this point, Han Qingyue no longer refused. She opened her small cherry mouth and ate the pastry Qing Chen offered.
"Spoiling Wife successful! Congratulations to the Host for receiving a random reward: Free Attribute Points +20!"
"Spoiling Wife successful! Congratulations to the Host for receiving a random reward: Grade 3 Moisturizing Qi Pill +100!"
"Spoiling Wife successful! Congratulations to the Host for receiving a random reward: Grade 4 Medicinal Herb Cold Moon Grass +10!"
...
One reward per bite, which greatly surprised Qing Chen.
Unfortunately, Han Qingyue was not a big eater; she shook her head after only a few bites, indicating she was full.
There was nothing Qing Chen could do but stop while he was ahead. He scavenged the remaining pastries and filled his own stomach.
The carriage traveled for an unknown amount of time before suddenly shaking.
Qing Chen was quick-witted and extended his hand to protect Han Qingyue's head, preventing her from hitting the window frame.
"Spoiling Wife successful! Congratulations to the Host for receiving a random reward: Immortal Brew +1!"
Just as Han Qingyue was about to ask what happened, she heard the sound of horse hooves from outside the carriage.
After a "Whoa!" several rough voices rang out.
"People in the carriage, get out quickly! Either leave your toll money, or leave your lives!"
"Hurry up! Hurry up! If you waste my Young Master's time, you'll lose both your money and your life!"
Upon hearing this, Han Qingyue knew they had encountered mountain bandits.
However, she wasn't worried at all. She looked at Qing Chen sitting beside her, as if with him there, even if the sky fell, there was nothing to fear.
"Wife, you stay here. I'll go out and see." Qing Chen stood up and said.
"Husband, please be careful." As the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry. Han Qingyue did not forget to remind him.
She did not ask to accompany him, knowing that even if she went out, she wouldn't be able to help Qing Chen, only hinder him.
Qing Chen lifted the curtain and stepped out.
He glanced to the side; the coachman was already kneeling on the ground, not daring to make a sound.
"Boss, looking at this kid's clothes, he's either rich or noble, a wealthy master! We must extort a hefty sum from him!" The bandit said without concealment.
The bandit leader, however, remained silent, squinting his eyes, carefully discerning Qing Chen's face.
Then, his eyes widened, "You, you are Qing Xiong's son, Qing Chen!"
"Hoh, am I that famous?" Qing Chen said in surprise.
"Since it's Young Master Qing, please forgive our disturbance. Make way!" The bandit leader was not foolish; it wasn't worth making an enemy of the Prime Minister for a bit of money.
In Great Han, who didn't know that the name Qing Xiong accounted for half of Great Han's territory?
And who didn't know that Qing Xiong had only one precious son, Qing Chen, and doted on him immensely? If even a single hair on him was harmed, it probably wouldn't be long before the Great Han Iron Cavalry flattened the entire Black Wind Mountain.
Qing Chen said no more and summoned a Shadow Puppet.
Although they didn't know what a Shadow Puppet was, the bandit leader and dozens of mountain bandits felt immense pressure from it.
"Young Master Qing, it was a misunderstanding. One should be lenient where possible. Why must you be so ruthless?" The bandit leader had long heard that Qing Chen was a ruthless fellow who regarded human lives as grass. He hadn't expected that even after he proactively lowered his head, Qing Chen still intended to kill.
Seeing Qing Chen indifferent to his words, the bandit leader said in a hurry, "Young Master Qing, our Black Wind village has survived until now because there's a master overseeing it. In this deep mountain forest, if it truly comes to a life-or-death situation, it won't be good for you!"
"Please summon Zhang Immortal!" The bandit leader shouted.
"Please summon Zhang Immortal!" The bandits chanted in unison.
The next moment, a white mist rose out of nowhere, and an old man holding a whisk and wearing a long robe walked out from it.
"Who dares to disturb this humble Daoist's Cultivation!" Zhang Immortal asked with a cold face.
"Zhang Immortal, this was truly out of necessity, which is why we troubled you to act. Please don't be offended, don't be offended." The bandit leader was servile, forcing a smile.
The entrance was quite grand, but Qing Chen took a look and saw he was barely at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
This was the fish he was trying to catch!
