Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2875: Chapter 2876: Advancing Step by Step

But on the surface, he remained calm, even showing a bit of impatience as he said, "Do I still have to go to the courtyard? Can’t we talk here?"

"Senior, you may not know, this is merely the area for receiving ordinary guests, and you are now a distinguished guest of our Hundred Benevolence Store. How could we receive you here?"

"Alright then, lead the way!"

Xue An followed Han Bao through the front hall, but unlike last time when he went to the auction venue through the garden corridor, this time he turned a corner and entered a long gallery through a side door.

Walking along the gallery, both sides were adorned with meticulously cultivated bonsai, presenting an especially pleasing view.

Han Bao led the way, flattering intentionally along the path, while Xue An cooperated with hearty laughter, making it seem as if both host and guest were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

However, about halfway down the path, Han Bao suddenly lowered his voice.

"Ahem, Senior, there is something I wish to ask of you, though I’m not sure if you could lend a hand?"

"Oh? What is it? Speak up!" Xue An said nonchalantly.

Han Bao’s face rarely exhibited such an embarrassed and troubled expression. After hesitating for some time, he finally spoke softly.

"Senior, to be frank, I’ve never been quite satisfied with my ability in that area..."

In that area?

At first, Xue An was a bit confused, but seeing Han Bao’s embarrassed demeanor, he suddenly realized.

As for Shu Jingchu, who had been following like a servant all along, her cheeks flushed even redder, secretly muttering continuously.

Xue An suppressed his urge to laugh, maintaining a stern face as he asked, "Oh? Shopkeeper Han has such an unspoken ailment? That shouldn’t be the case. With your wealth and status, how could you not find the right materials?"

"Ah, you may not know, this issue has plagued me since before I stepped onto the cultivation path. The healers say it’s congenital, and despite searching through secret formulas and treasure medicines over the years, the results have been minimal!"

Saying this, Han Bao looked at Xue An with a flushed face.

"Senior, just yesterday you bought ten beauties and managed to absorb all their vital essence in one night. This proves you must have extraordinary skills in this area! Therefore, I hope you can be merciful and guide me on a clear path!"

"This..." Xue An was genuinely stumped by Han Bao.

He didn’t know any dual cultivation method, and even if he had come across such manuals during his cultivation, he had destroyed them all.

Although there’s nothing inherently wrong with the dual cultivation technique, it’s easy to go astray. Once astray, one might fall into the demon path of endless calamity, so Xue An never even had an interest in understanding it.

But right now, he was playing the role of an expert in dual cultivation. If he showed ignorance when Han Bao sought help, wouldn’t he be exposed?

Xue An’s hesitation was misinterpreted by Han Bao, who hurriedly said, "Rest assured, Senior, as long as you can show me a clear path, I will surely reward you generously!"

Upon finishing, Han Bao looked eagerly at Xue An, his eyes practically overflowing with longing and anticipation.

Xue An was both amused and helpless, but could only keep a straight face and said, "As for your issue... it’s not hard to handle!"

At this, Han Bao was overjoyed, "Thank you, Senior! If I see improvement, I certainly won’t forget your great kindness and virtue!"

Xue An waved his hand, "No need to thank me just yet, I haven’t finished speaking!"

"The Heaven and Earth Great Yin-Yang Harmonization Art I practice is a secret technique passed down by my sect. Its mystical art is limitless, even if you were inherently incomplete, it could make you whole again!"

Xue An pretended to make up an exceptionally impressive name.

Thud!

Han Bao immediately knelt on the ground, looking at Xue An with a face full of eagerness.

"I am willing to become a disciple of your sect, as long as you can teach me the cultivation technique, I’m willing to do whatever you ask!"

Of course, Xue An wouldn’t really teach him any cultivation technique, as Xue An himself didn’t know any.

He pretended to be conflicted and sighed, "Shopkeeper Han, please rise. It’s not that I don’t want to teach you, but our sect has strict orders, forbidding the technique from being passed on to outsiders!"

Upon hearing this, the disappointment on Han Bao’s face was almost overflowing.

Seeing the moment was right, Xue An spoke mysteriously, "But no need to be disheartened. Although I can’t pass on the secret technique to you, I can share a secret formula with you!"

Hope reignited fiercely in Han Bao’s eyes.

"What secret formula?"

"Come closer and I’ll tell you."

Han Bao didn’t bother to stand up, crawling on his knees to Xue An’s side, respectfully bringing his ear closer.

Xue An leaned in and whispered something in his ear.

Han Bao’s eyes instantly widened, "This... is this really true?"

"Of course it’s true, would I deceive you about something like this?"

"But... but this..." Han Bao still couldn’t make the decision.

"As they say, nothing venture, nothing gain. I’ve shared the secret formula with you. It’s up to you to decide. Weigh your options carefully," Xue An said calmly.

Han Bao thanked him profusely before leading Xue An with a heavy heart into the courtyard’s tea room.

By then, the elder was already waiting, and upon seeing Xue An, warmly welcomed him with a smiling face.

"I heard about you from Han Bao yesterday, but was too tied up with mundane affairs to visit personally. Regretfully! I never expected you to come by yourself!"

The elder was evidently a skillful diplomat, making one feel like a spring breeze with his words.

Xue An, however, didn’t express much, merely nodding lightly.

"Hehe, let me introduce myself. My name is Li Dengfeng, you can call me Shopkeeper Li!"

"Hmm, nice to meet you, Shopkeeper Li!"

After sitting down and having tea, Li Dengfeng engaged in a bout of small talk.

But between the lines, Li Dengfeng subtly probed into Xue An’s identity, all of which Xue An dodged intentionally or unintentionally.

Very soon.

Li Dengfeng realized he was dealing with someone no greenhorn, and continuing like this was a waste of time, so he cut to the chase.

"Senior, you just purchased a batch of goods yesterday, and I wonder why you’ve come again today?"

"It’s simple. The quality of the goods yesterday was excellent, and I’m very satisfied, so I intend to order another batch!"

This statement not only stunned Li Dengfeng but also left Han Bao in disbelief.

He had witnessed Xue An taking away those ten women, and never expected him to return for more after just one night.

How big is this person’s appetite?

But then, Han Bao’s heart began to heat up.

The more extraordinary Xue An’s abilities appeared, the more credible and feasible the secret formula he gave him seemed!

Han Bao decided internally that he must try it out once things were settled.

Li Dengfeng’s expression became serious, then he looked at Xue An with meaningful eyes.

"Oh? So, does this mean you’ve already utilized all the goods from yesterday?"
