Xu Chang'an walked on the streets of Northern Mulberry City and did not notice anything wrong with the tune he was listening to.
"As expected of the steward of the inner sect. Her zither skills are extraordinary." Xu Chang'an's eyes were clear. After listening to Zhu Pingniang's song, he felt much more energetic.
His footsteps gradually slowed down. Then, he walked into a teahouse on the street and sat down to ask for a cup of clear tea. He took a sip.
Feeling the tea on his tongue, Xu Chang'an took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
He was not in a hurry to look at the update of the system store because there were priorities. There were some things he had to think about before going home.
Xu Chang'an took out the jade token and held it in his palm.
Zhu Pingniang had gotten this for him. It was a ticket to enter the immortal sect.
What would he say when he got home?
Was Yun Qian, whom he called Miss and was actually his wife, willing to cultivate?
Xu Changan couldn't guess his wife's response.
His wife's personality was different from most people. Although they had been together for so many years, he still couldn't figure out what she was thinking. It was as if… she didn't care about anything.
It was too much to say that she had no desires, but Xu Chang'an occasionally felt that his wife had no desires other than him.
His former Miss and current wife, Yun Qian and Miss Yun, was an ordinary person. This was something Xu Chang'an had confirmed for many years.
His wife was very weak and her stamina was very poor. Sometimes, she would only take two more steps before her face turned pale and she would often be out of breath.
However, his wife was not ordinary. She could even be said to be very mysterious.
Many years ago, when he woke up, he was already a child. He had completely lost his memories as a child and was lying weakly by the shore. Just when he thought he was going to die after transmigrating, the woman who called herself Yun Qian appeared and brought him back to the wooden house where she lived alone.
Xu Chang'an did not know about Yun Qian's past. He only saw that the island she lived on did not lack anything and felt that she might be the eldest daughter of a big family living on the island. Unfortunately, her quality of life was very poor and she did not know how to take care of herself.
Hence, after Xu Chang'an got better, he took the initiative to wash clothes and cook.
Then… the years flew by. The two of them lived like this for seven years.
Seven years. How did he spend those seven years?
The two of them stayed together day and night. Xu Chang'an called himself Yun Qian's butler. During this period, he studied on the island and read books. He had a preliminary understanding of this world.
After knowing that there were immortal sects and immortal cultivators in the world, Xu Chang'an began to suspect that Yun Qian might be related to immortal cultivators. After all, Xu Chang'an had never seen a third person on the island, but there had never been a lack of daily necessities in the warehouse. Every time it was almost used up, brand new items would appear.
Seven years.
That was enough time for too many things to happen and change their relationship, let alone two people who were together day and night.
Therefore, after he turned from a child to a youth, their relationship gradually… changed.
Was he considered a servant?
Xu Chang'an sighed helplessly. However, he was a normal person. His feelings for Yun Qian gradually changed. It was not something he could control.
Because Yun Qian had always been a homebody, Xu Chang'an was even prepared to live with her on the island for the rest of his life.
However, more than a year ago, Yun Qian suddenly said that she wanted to leave the island and brought him to Qingzhou to live.
In a way, it was eloping.
Xu Chang'an felt that in this life and his previous life, the most fortunate thing was to meet Yun Qian. Moreover, she was willing to be his wife.
When Xu Chang'an first confessed to his wife, she agreed calmly. Her indifferent attitude made Xu Chang'an feel that no matter who confessed to her, she would agree.
But later, he gradually realized that he was the special one in Yun Qian's heart. It might be a little shameless to say it out loud, but that was the truth.
After coming to Qingzhou, the Chaoyun Sect was already a behemoth in Xu Chang'an's eyes. However, after Yun Qian knew that he had become a disciple of the Chaoyun Sect with the help of Zhu Pingniang, she was not surprised, happy, or resistant.
It seemed that the mysterious immortal sect in the world was nothing in her eyes.
Such a personality… In Xu Changan's opinion, it was as if she was born with a flaw. She would only be interested in things related to him. As for other things, even Zhu Pingniang, who took care of her, Yun Qian never took a second look.
Xu Chang'an knew that Yun Qian had many secrets.
However, Yun Qian naturally had her reasons for not being willing to say it. Xu Chang'an felt that as long as he became strong enough one day and could let her live worry-free, she would definitely not hide it anymore.
Xu Chang'an was puzzled because Yun Qian was clearly an ordinary person. Xu Chang'an had even seen her finger being cut by a kitchen knife.
Since she could get injured, it had to meant that she was mortal and could die.
In front of Xu Changan, other than her mysterious past, she did not show any strength or background that could protect herself.
Xu Chang'an would never be at ease letting such a weak wife live alone in Northern Mulberry City. Therefore, even though it was already very difficult for him to cultivate, he still came down the mountain to visit his wife regularly.
If not for the fact that he often ran around, he might have already entered the inner sect.
He was not a good husband.
Although life on the island was boring, he could at least spend time with her. However, ever since he came to Qingzhou's Beisang City, he had been cultivating in Chaoyun Sect for a year and rarely went home to stay with his wife.
Although Yun Qian had never complained, Xu Chang'an felt very guilty.
Xu Changan held the teacup in his hand and looked much more serious.
Yun Qian's background was not important to him, because at the moment, Yun Qian was his wife. She was weak and needed his attentive care. This was the truth.
The other party had not told him about the other secrets after living together for so many years. It was useless to ask now.
He would clear things up with his wife and hope that she would follow him up the clouds.
After all, in the cultivation world, strength was the most important. He did not want to encounter danger in the future where he could not even protect his wife.
Speaking of which, his system awakening was after he left the island a year ago. That was why he was happy when he realized that he had a system. He hoped that it could bring his wife a better life. Unfortunately, the system was useless.
Xu Chang'an did not link the abnormality of the system's Heavenly Dao Point to Yun Qian because he would not doubt his wife in all aspects.
However, now that the system had inexplicably awakened for the second time, Xu Changan hoped that… his life could welcome a change.
It was time to see what his system had improved on.
… .
Xu Chang'an picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. The interface that only he could see appeared in front of him.
Opening the shop, he saw three bright and golden icons in the originally empty Heavenly Dao Mall. There were also a few lines of detailed words below.
[Origin Opening Talisman, Price: 100, Maximum Purchase Number: 1]: After using it, coupled with any quality of the Origin Opening Pill, one can directly shatter the barrier of the ninth level of Qi Refinement, increasing the chances of breaking through to the Origin Opening Realm to 100%.

[Low-level Wood Spirit Qi Origin. Price: 1,000,000. Maximum number of purchases: 1]: When used after the Open Source Realm, one can switch spiritual power characteristics to Heavenly Dao at any time: Wood.]
Xu Changan's breathing became much faster. He put down the teacup in his hand and narrowed his eyes. He shifted his gaze to the right and looked at the number that had already broken through the sky.
[Remaining Heavenly Dao Points: 9,160,166,7231…]
