The charming widow of the Marquis's mansion: The stable boy carries the flag and raises the dra

Do not!

It's a done deal!

No doubt about it!

Even if everyone's total number of Heavenly Stones were increased tenfold, it would still only be a fraction of his!

"Uncle Long, should we keep digging?"

Xu Wanyun looked at him and asked softly.

Wang Long shook his head.

"No need."

"These Heavenly Stones are enough."

There are only a few scattered spots in the entire valley, so why waste any more time?

He glanced at the other contestants who were still shivering in the valley, then looked away.

These people have nothing to do with him.

He didn't care whether he lived or died, whether he was rich or poor.

Wang Long wouldn't take action against these people unless they actively sought trouble.

"Wanyun, there are still seven days until the end of the competition. In these seven days, I would like to test the effects of the Immortal Palace."

Xu Wanyun's beautiful eyes lit up slightly.

"Uncle Long means..."

Wang Long nodded, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"We've already secured first place, so there's no need for us to keep wandering around outside."

"Why not use these last seven days to cultivate properly?"

"Let's see if this Time Chamber is any good!"

Xu Wanyun nodded slightly, her eyes full of anticipation.

She also wanted to see the power of an Emperor-level spiritual weapon.

Xu Wanyun originally thought that this battle for supremacy among the myriad dynasties would be a bloodbath, and that if she was unlucky, she would die inside.

Unexpectedly, following Wang Long, I didn't suffer much hardship along the way; it was like a picnic.

She definitely agreed with all of Wang Long's decisions.

Wang Long turned his head and looked at the little fairy on his shoulder.

"Little Fairy, how many spirit stones does the Time Chamber consume to operate for one day?"

Xiao Xian tilted her head, thought for a moment, and started counting on her fingers.

"Master, I've calculated that if the two of you cultivate together, each of you will need to consume a thousand high-grade spirit stones per day."

"Two people would cost two thousand yuan."

"This is the consumption after Xiaoxian'er's optimization."

"Without optimization, it would cost at least 20,000 yuan."

Wang Long's lips twitched.

Two thousand high-grade spirit stones, one day.

This consumption is indeed considerable.

He scavenged over a million high-grade spirit stones from the treasure vault of the twelve magical beasts, which seemed like a lot.

But if you spend 2,000 yuan every day, that's 730,000 yuan a year.

His meager possessions won't last two years.

"Master, this is only the current consumption."

Xiao Xian'er added another sentence, making Wang Long feel even more uncomfortable.

"As the master's strength increases, the consumption of the Time Chamber will also increase."

"Once Master breaks through to the Saint Realm, the consumption will increase at least tenfold."

Wang Long's lips twitched violently again.

ten times!

Twenty thousand high-grade spirit stones a day.

Seven million three hundred thousand a year.

His possessions wouldn't even last six months.

"This thing is really expensive..."

Wang Long gave a wry smile and shook his head.

"No wonder Senior Qingdi said that without spirit stones, this palace is just for show."

"This is no palace, it's a bottomless pit."

Xu Wanyun stood to the side, listening to Wang Long's complaints, and couldn't help but smile.

"Uncle Long, in this world, there are always gains and losses."

"With such an incredible function as the Time Chamber, it's only natural that it consumes a lot of resources."

"If it could be operated so easily, wouldn't the world be full of Emperor-level experts?"

Wang Long nodded, feeling much better.

"Wanyun is right, it was I who was greedy."

He took a deep breath, suppressing the pang of heartache, and looked at Xiao Xian'er.

"Little fairy, try running it for a day first."

"Let me see just how powerful this Time Chamber really is."

Little Fairy nodded vigorously, her little face full of excitement.

"Alright! Don't worry, Master, I'll definitely get the Time Chamber into top condition!"

She floated up from Wang Long's shoulder, hovering in mid-air, and closed her eyes.

Her tiny body began to glow, golden light emanating from within her, growing brighter and brighter.

The Immortal Palace mark on the back of Wang Long's hand also lit up.

A golden light surged from the mark, enveloping Wang Long and Xu Wanyun.

next moment.

The two figures disappeared into the valley.

Only the contestants, trembling on the ground, were left looking at each other, their faces blank with confusion.

The light dissipated.

Wang Long opened his eyes and saw the familiar underground palace.

Bluestone floor, huge statues, walls covered with runes.

Above the dome, countless stars slowly rotated, emitting a soft glow.

The entire palace is brighter and more vibrant than before.

The little fairy floated in mid-air, her face full of pride.

"Master, welcome back to the Celestial Palace!"

Wang Long's gaze swept around, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.

He could feel that the connection between the palace and him was stronger than before.

Every brick, every beam, every corner was within his perception.

He could even sense that the spiritual energy in the palace was flowing slowly along some mysterious path.

The stars gathered in the dome and then poured down from the countless stars, like invisible waterfalls, enveloping the entire palace.

Coming here feels like coming home.

"Master, the Time Chamber is ready!"

Xiao Xian'er's voice was tinged with excitement.

Wang Long nodded, took Xu Wanyun's hand, and walked deeper into the palace.

There is a separate, secret room there.

The secret chamber was not large, about ten feet square, with smooth, mirror-like walls covered with densely packed runes.

The ground was covered with a layer of soft animal hides, which felt soft and squishy underfoot without making a sound.

In the very center of the secret room, there were two futons, woven from an unknown spiritual herb, which emitted a faint fragrance.

Wang Long sat cross-legged on the prayer mat, and Xu Wanyun sat down opposite him.

The two men faced each other with their palms touching.

The little fairy floated above the secret chamber and waved her little hand.

The stars on the dome lit up simultaneously, their starlight cascading down like a waterfall, illuminating the entire secret chamber.

A rich spiritual energy surged in from all directions, enveloping the two of them.

The spiritual energy was incredibly pure; taking a breath made you feel every pore on your body relax.

"Master, the Time Chamber has been activated!"

Xiao Xian'er's voice echoed in the secret room.

"One day outside is equivalent to ten days inside!"

"Masters, you can focus on your cultivation. Little Fairy will keep an eye on things outside!"

Wang Long nodded and closed his eyes.

The Chaos Dao Body operates on its own, spiritual energy surges through the meridians, and literary energy churns in the dantian.

The spiritual energy in the secret chamber flowed into his body continuously, like rivers flowing into the sea.

The spiritual energy flowed through his meridians, tempering his flesh, bones, and meridians.

Each breath is accompanied by the circulation of spiritual energy.

Each cycle of the day is accompanied by an ascent in one's spiritual realm.

Xu Wanyun also closed her eyes, and the literary energy in her body slowly circulated, forming a perfect cycle with Wang Long.

Their auras intertwined, growing stronger and more profound.

Little Fairy floated above the secret chamber, her little face full of seriousness.

She manipulated the array of the House of Time, precisely guiding every wisp of spiritual energy to the two of them.

Little Chick crawled out of Wang Long's arms and squatted in the corner of the secret room.

It glanced at the two people who were cultivating, yawned, curled up into a ball of golden fluff, closed its eyes, and began to cultivate as well.

Time passed silently during cultivation.

There is no day or night in the secret chamber, only the endless starlight, which rotates eternally.

One day, two days, three days...

Wang Long and Xu Wanyun were so engrossed in their cultivation that they forgot about time and everything else.

Their aura was gradually rising.

Although slow, it never stopped.
