Collecting Rent From All Realms, Even Empresses Must Pay Tribute
Ch. 44 - Top-Grade and Trash Constitutions

Bai QianShuang, with her early Golden Core strength, naturally noticed the change in Ye Chuan. His mid Qi Refining cultivation couldn't be hidden from her.

"Qi Refining realm? How did you achieve this, Ye Chuan?"

The Qi Refining realm wasn't a particularly high level. As the first stage of cultivation, Qi Refining cultivators merely learned to channel spiritual energy, cast basic spells, and nourish their meridians, strengthening their bodies.

The problem was—

In this world with almost no spiritual energy, how did Ye Chuan, a mortal with no cultivation just a few days ago, manage to reach the Qi Refining realm?

Bai QianShuang stepped forward and grasped Ye Chuan's wrist.

She immediately felt his surging blood and the scorching fire spiritual energy.

"Isn't there a saying, 'An immortal's touch bestows long life'?" Ye Chuan casually explained. "Maybe my strength increases when I'm with you?"

Bai QianShuang was puzzled.

But she couldn't quite put her finger on what felt wrong.

She didn't overthink it, assuming it was as Ye Chuan said, that he was somehow unintentionally influenced by her.

For now, it was better to eat first.

…

After dinner, Bai QianShuang sat on the sofa, completely engrossed in the images on the TV…

On the screen, immortals were flying on swords, their clothes undisturbed, as if they were standing still.

As steady as if they were on solid ground.

"What's wrong? Didn't I tell you? Those are special effects, they're fake," Ye Chuan pointed at the actors on the screen. "Look, their clothes don't even move when they're flying."

"That's normal," Bai QianShuang shook her head. "When cultivators fly, they use formations on their flying artifacts or create a protective layer of spiritual energy around themselves."

"It's common for their clothes not to move."

Ye Chuan was stunned. So that's how it was?

The scriptwriters actually got it right?

"But I'm a bit confused. Why do these dramas always emphasize romance?" Bai QianShuang asked, puzzled. 

She had watched a couple of episodes, and the content mostly revolved around romantic relationships, with no mention of cultivation or the pursuit of the Dao.

"What do you mean?" Ye Chuan glanced at the TV curiously.

"For example, why would this Foundation Establishment female cultivator dare to confront and even threaten a Mahayana cultivator?" Bai QianShuang was confused. 

In the drama, a Foundation Establishment female cultivator, because she liked a male cultivator, was framing and even threatening a Mahayana female cultivator.

This was something Bai QianShuang couldn't understand.

Weren't they afraid of being obliterated with a single slap?

"Uh, well…" Ye Chuan glanced at the scene. It did feel a bit strange. He could only explain, "Maybe that's the power of love."

Bai QianShuang stood up. "Ye Chuan, I'm going back to rest."

"Not watching anymore?"

She said indifferently, "No need, it's a bit absurd."

"Alright."

Bai QianShuang paused at her door, as if remembering something. "Ye Chuan—"

"Yeah?"

"I think milk tea can accelerate my spiritual energy refinement," Bai QianShuang said, turning around, her pretty face serious.

Ye Chuan chuckled. "Then I'll order you some."

"Thank you." Bai QianShuang opened her door and added softly,

"Remember… with boba."

Seeing Bai QianShuang return to her room, Ye Chuan couldn't help but grin.

What a dishonest girl.

But quite cute.

…

Ye Chuan returned to his own room. Pushing the door open, he was greeted by a clean, tidy, and cozy room decorated in a light wood theme. He had naturally renovated his own room as well.

It looked great. Ye Chuan lay down and took out his phone.

He still had over sixty thousand yuan left.

Whoa.

Time for a few draws!

Ye Chuan immediately opened the Constitution draw page. 

His High-Grade Fire Profound Constitution wasn't bad, but since he could cultivate through idle cultivation, he might as well draw something better, especially a constitution that could accelerate his cultivation speed.

It would be best to draw a constitution like Bai QianShuang's.

One thousand yuan per draw.

Would a ten-pull be lucky?

Since it was money he earned from Huang Haotian, Ye Chuan didn't feel any heartache spending it. He decisively spent ten thousand yuan for a ten-pull.

In the next second, a golden light flashed on the screen!

"Did I get it?!" Ye Chuan was surprised. A top-tier reward on his first ten-pull?

[Congratulations! You have obtained a Mid-Grade Majestic Constitution. Added to backpack.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained a Low-Grade Wood Profound Constitution. Added to backpack.]

…

[Congratulations! You have obtained a Low-Grade Gold Profound Constitution. Added to backpack.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained a Wood Spirit Body. Added to backpack.]

…

[Congratulations! You have obtained a Low-Grade Profound Yin Constitution. Added to backpack.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained a Profound Mysterious Dao Body. Added to backpack.]

…

Ye Chuan stared at the golden text of the Profound Mysterious Dao Body and immediately opened his backpack to check its details.

[Item: Profound Mysterious Dao Body (Top-Grade)

Never encounter bottlenecks when comprehending any manuals or spells. Can cultivate any manual or spell.

Equippable]

Seeing the golden description, Ye Chuan's heart sank.

Ye Chuan: "..."

Was this considered powerful?

Yes, being able to comprehend any manual was definitely powerful.

The problem was—

Ye Chuan could learn manuals just by tapping the screen; he never encountered any bottlenecks or difficulties.

He practically had this constitution already.

"What a waste. A better version of the Fire Profound Constitution would have been nice, like a Blazing Inferno Body or something." Ye Chuan felt a bit disappointed. 

Even though it was a gold-tier constitution, he had no intention of replacing his High-Grade Fire Profound Constitution.

But he could keep it for synthesis; it was a top-grade base material, with a chance of synthesizing a Supreme-grade constitution.

Ye Chuan consoled himself; it was just two days' rent.

He glanced at the remaining mid and low-grade constitutions in his backpack and synthesized them all.

Like playing a matching game, Ye Chuan's fingers flew across the screen.

In the end, only two purple constitutions remained in his backpack.

[Item: High-Grade Ice Profound Constitution]

[Item: High-Grade Dark Profound Constitution]

Top-Grade Probability: 30%

"Hmm." Ye Chuan pondered for a moment. "Let's do it!"

Synthesize!

[Congratulations! You have obtained the Lone Star Constitution. Added to backpack.]

Success!

Ye Chuan slammed the table, but his excitement quickly faded as he saw the strange name of the constitution.

[Item: Lone Star Constitution (Top-Grade)

Cursed fate, repels close friends and family, destined for lifelong solitude.

But possesses the fortune of turning bad luck into good, can absorb the misfortune of others to strengthen oneself.

Equippable]

Ye Chuan stared at the two gleaming gold constitutions in his backpack, lost in thought.

No.

This wasn't right.

Were none of them usable?

Ye Chuan silently dragged the two constitutions together.

Supreme Probability: 10%

Should he gamble?

(SHMOLL: Go for ittt~!)
