Five Poisons Marketplace was bustling with people, a constant stream of carts and horses moving along its streets.
In a secluded estate, Qin Ming and Lin Lin sat beside a green tea table, enjoying their tea and making idle conversation.
"Congratulations, husband, on advancing to the Middle Stage!"
Lin Lin congratulated him with a smile.
"My wife should spend some more time cultivating. Advancing to the Middle Stage won't be a problem, but the Late Stage will be more difficult,"
Qin Ming said.
He took out a golden Messaging Plate that flashed with light, injected a spell, and a respectful male voice rang out, "Master, Senior Lin from the Spirit Control Sect would like to see you. He says he has some matters to discuss with you."
