Ye Xuan was speechless.
I understand nothing!
He said solemnly, “Miss Qin, which came first, the chicken or the egg?”
Qin Guan smiled, “What do you think?”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “I don’t know!”
Qin Guan smiled faintly, “It doesn’t matter. What’s important is that the core of the river of time is still space-time, divided into future, present, and past space-time. When you used that sword technique, you didn’t center it on space-time but forcibly broke into the past and future space-time. In doing so, you’d be rejected by space-time, even with the Law of the Lord of Time.”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Miss Qin, you mean I can merge with the past and future space-time, right?”
Qin Guan let out a relieved sigh, “Thank goodness, you finally get it!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Qin Guan continued, “For others, merging with past and future space-time is difficult because those realms reject outsiders. But you don’t have that problem. Why? Because you have the Law of the Lord of Time and that sword of yours, which suppresses and restrains space-time. With a little refinement, your three swords’ power will greatly increase!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, “I understand!”
Qin Guan blinked, “Really?”
Ye Xuan said seriously, “Miss Qin, do you think my comprehension is poor?”
Qin Guan nodded honestly, “A bit!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Qin Guan hesitated, then asked, “You don’t mind, do you?”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “In your eyes, what kind of person is a genius?”
Qin Guan thought for a moment, then said, “The one who made your sword!”
Ye Xuan was utterly speechless.
It wasn’t that he was lacking—her standards were just insanely high!
Qin Guan asked, “Want to practice now?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Of course!”
Qin Guan smiled, “I’ll wait for you!”
Ye Xuan grinned, “Good!”
He returned to the Little Tower.
*Cultivation!*
Past space-time, future space-time, present space-time!
Instead of forcibly entering past space-time as before, Ye Xuan began merging with these realms, becoming one with them. With the Law of the Lord of Time and the Qingxuan Sword, this wasn’t difficult.
After merging, he found his sword’s power had indeed surged!
It wasn’t just an improvement—it was a transformation!
*Qualitative change!*
This thought made Ye Xuan frown.
What was a qualitative change?
He was currently at the quantitative change stage, but after merging with space-time, his three swords had surpassed quantitative change, reaching a qualitative change!
*Quantitative change leads to qualitative change!*
His three swords had achieved that!
After a long silence, Ye Xuan left the Little Tower and arrived at the twelfth floor of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, where Qin Guan was busy.
Glancing at her seated behind the desk, he didn’t disturb her.
Qin Guan suddenly looked up and smiled, “Almost done!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Alright!”
Qin Guan continued writing, not too quickly, pausing occasionally to think before resuming.
Curious, Ye Xuan asked, “Miss Qin, what are you writing?”
Qin Guan smiled, “Almost done!”
She sped up.
Soon, she stood, grabbed her notebook, and handed it to Ye Xuan. “For you!”
Ye Xuan took it curiously and opened it. The first page had two bold words: *Qualitative Change!*
*Qualitative Change!*
He froze.
Qin Guan smiled, “You’ve reached quantitative change. Next is qualitative change. I’ve detailed what it means in this notebook. Just follow it and cultivate!”
Ye Xuan looked at her, “You wrote this specifically for me?”
Qin Guan nodded, “Yes!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Why?”
Qin Guan blinked, “Don’t you need it right now?”
Ye Xuan said earnestly, “I do, but why go out of your way to write it for me?”
Qin Guan fell silent.
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “You don’t have a thing for me, do you?”
Qin Guan waved her hands frantically, “No, no! Don’t get the wrong idea, you…”
Ye Xuan sighed, “Then what’s your deal?”
Qin Guan hesitated, then said, “Can I lie?”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
She glanced at him softly, “Can I?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Sure!”
Qin Guan quickly said, “I love helping people. I saw you needed help, so I wanted to assist! That’s it!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Qin Guan suddenly said, “Let’s not dwell on this! Come, I’ll take you somewhere!”
She led Ye Xuan out of the study.
…
In the starry sky, Ye Xuan asked, “Miss Qin, where are we going?”
Qin Guan replied, “Ye Capital!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Ye Capital?”
Qin Guan nodded, “A major auction is happening there today, with people from all major forces attending. There’s a divine item that’ll help you. I plan to buy it for you!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “For me?”
Qin Guan nodded, “A mysterious seller consigned it to us, hoping for a high price!”
Ye Xuan looked at her, “Why buy it for me?”
Qin Guan said earnestly, “I love helping people!”
Ye Xuan stopped, staring at her silently.
Qin Guan gave an awkward smile, “You don’t seem to believe me!”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “Stop playing dumb. Be straight with me!”
Qin Guan hesitated, then said, “Two reasons. First, your father and mine are good friends, and Uncle Yang helped my mother’s family, the Shui Clan, in the Milky Way. Second, I’ll need your help with something in the future, and it’s not simple. By helping you now, when I ask later, you won’t refuse!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “You’re so capable—why would you need my help?”
Qin Guan smiled, “Only you can do it. No one else, not even your invincible sister, can!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Only I can do it…”
He glanced at her, then said, “It’s not having a kid, is it?”
Qin Guan’s expression froze. She stepped up to him, pulled out a *No Martial Virtue* bomb, and placed it in his hand. “Pretty, isn’t it?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
He blinked, “Want to test its power?”
Ye Xuan quickly shook his head, handing it back.
Though his strength had qualitatively changed, he wasn’t sure he could withstand a *No Martial Virtue* bomb!
It had been fed nearly two billion Star Veins!
What a concept!
Qin Guan suddenly said, “Let’s hurry!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Can you hint at what you’ll need my help with?”
Qin Guan shook her head, “Nope!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Qin Guan stopped and turned to him, “I’m helping you now, so you’ll help me later, right?”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then nodded, “Right!”
Qin Guan nodded slightly, “I trust your character!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
After entering a mysterious star domain, an old man appeared before them, bowing respectfully. “Pavilion Master, I’m Li Xiu, head of Ye Capital’s Immortal Treasure Pavilion. Whatever you need, just say!”
Qin Guan nodded, “When’s the auction?”
The old man said, “Three days…”
He paused, then added, “Or whenever you say, Pavilion Master!”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
The Immortal Treasure Pavilion was full of flatterers!
Qin Guan thought for a moment, then said, “No need to waste time—hold it tomorrow!”
The old man quickly said, “I’ll arrange it immediately!”
He turned and left.
Ye Xuan looked at Qin Guan, “What are you buying for me?”
Qin Guan grinned playfully, “It’s a surprise! You’ll see—it’s perfect for you now!”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “Actually, I think your treasures would suit me too!”
Qin Guan shook her head, “Even if I gave them to you, you couldn’t use them. You’re too poor!”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
*Damn it!*
*Too poor!*
He couldn’t argue!
Qin Guan said, “My treasures are mostly for me or Little White. Little White can use them because she’s a super, super, super Star Vein herself. Others, even if I gave them the treasures, couldn’t unleash their power. These treasures need money.”
Ye Xuan thought, then asked, “Why earn so much money?”
Qin Guan smiled, “Pursuing theology through science requires money. Lots of research needs funding. Plus, I’m building a super fleet, which also needs money. And I have a very, very grand plan…”
She stopped abruptly.
Ye Xuan was curious, “What plan?”
Qin Guan blinked, “Can’t say!”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
This woman loved keeping him in suspense!
Soon, they reached Ye Capital, a bustling city second only to Qianji City, a hub of commerce where major forces conducted most of their trade.
Today, Ye Capital was exceptionally lively. The Immortal Treasure Pavilion was auctioning three ultra-divine items.
What were ultra-divine items?
Items with extraordinary, heaven-defying abilities, rarely seen even once in a millennium. This time, three appeared at once in Ye Capital!
Every major force in the Guanxuan Universe flocked here, even those who couldn’t afford them, just to witness these ultra-divine treasures!
