Heavenly Consort Chapter 23: Revenge Is Never Too Late Even After Ten Years

Even though Xiao Hongyan disliked Xiao Qianhan's family, he wouldn't let anyone harm them as long as Xiao Qianhan and her family were still living in Xiao Clan's residence.

Hearing what she said, Murong Ce and Xiao Yuluo immediately calmed down. It seemed that they were thinking too much. Xiao Qianhan was a wastrel, how could she have any treasure? Besides, she wouldn't have the chance to come across a treasure! They could only assume that she was lucky. The Heavenly Fungus Herb she consumed must have been extraordinary.

"You have treasure? If that's the case, then people from all over the world would already have treasures. Xiao Qianhan, you had better not take half a step outside of Xiao Clan's residence, don't think you will be as lucky as last time!" Xiao Yuluo dropped some spiteful words before she left.

Xiao Qianhan's cold eyes slightly narrowed. She smiled and said, "Revenge is never too late even after ten years. See you at the National Test."

"National Test? Hahahaha! Xiao Qianhan, are you daydreaming?" Xiao Yuluo felt as if she had just heard the greatest joke.

A wastrel who cannot cultivate wants to participate in the National Test? You even want to take revenge? It is nothing but wishful thinking! Ridiculous!

Murong Ce laughed out too, "Xiao Qianhan, it'd be better for you to be a cowardly turtle. You are talking big now because you are in the Xiao Clan and assume we wouldn't hurt you right? Yuluo, let's go and not waste any more time, the National Test is about to start. We should hurry up and cultivate."

Xiao Yuluo nodded, then glared at Xiao Qianhan using her disdainful and cold eyes before she left.

At last, peace returned to the room.

Not wasting any more time, Xiao Qianhan entered the Thousands Cauldron Mark again. She sat cross-legged on one side of the Thousands Cauldron Mark and began to cultivate according to the instructions in the cultivation technique books, along with Qianzi's guidance.

Xiao Qianhan didn't know when Qianzi put some of the spirit stones all around her. Streaks of pure white light revolved around her.

Time went by quietly...

When dawn came, Xiao Qianhan opened her eyes and tried to feel the changes in her body.

A moment later, she knitted her brows.

Why haven't there been any changes? Technically, cultivating for one night in Thousands Cauldron Mark is equivalent to half a year outside. How could there not be any changes?

When Xiao Qianhan unconsciously lowered her gaze and saw the spirit stones around her, she noticed that all of them had turned from white into black stones.

What's going on? My cultivation didn't increase at all, but the extremely expensive spirit stones have all turned into regular stones!

Xiao Qianhan went speechless for a while.

Qianzi stretched herself and yawned. When she saw the bewildered Xiao Qianhan, she explained, "Mistress, the way you cultivate is essentially different from others. Besides, you're absorbing the spirit stones' spirit qi to cultivate. It's normal that the progress isn't as fast as they seem. However, I couldn't say for sure when mistress would be able to make a breakthrough."

"Mm, I understand. It's alright even if my progress might be slower. There are still nine days left before the National Test, I still have enough time." Xiao Qianhan nodded. She didn't think much and immediately went out of the Thousands Cauldron Mark.

After eating breakfast, Xiao Qianhan disguised herself again and quietly sneaked out.

One-third of the spirit stones had been used in one night, thus Xiao Qianhan would use them up in just two days. She had to wholeheartedly cultivate inside the Thousands Cauldron Mark in the next few days, so there must be enough spirit stones for her to use.

Xiao Qianhan went to the Wind Thunder Court again. When Manager Zhang noticed that it was her again, he didn't question the source of her elixirs and immediately exchanged all of them for spirit stones as per her request. She took a lot of elixirs to exchange for the spirit stones this time, so she should not need to worry about having insufficient spirit stones for a month.

As before, Xiao Qianhan found a quiet place to disguise herself again.

Xiao Qianhan changed back to women's clothing, and wore a veil to cover her face. She went back to Xiao Clan's residence using the road she came from.

However, the road ahead was suddenly blocked. It was surrounded by a lot of people.
