Mei Niang's face was flushed with shyness, "This is good too!"
"After all, Ao Ding's father is a Dragon Clan powerhouse at the Spiritual Immortal realm!"
"By dual cultivating with someone like him, my strength will also improve!"
"Of course, I just want to test them, father and son, who is better at it!"
"You're amazing!"
Chen Nan gave him a thumbs up!
At this moment!
He really didn't know what else to say, other than admiration!
He just felt a little sorry for Ao Ding!
He went with full expectations and hope to collect a hundred-thousand-year-old spirit herb!
Only to be with Mei Niang after he stepped into the Earth Immortal realm!
But he never dreamed that Mei Niang would become his stepmother after he returned!
He felt really sorry for him...
The evening arrived in the blink of an eye!
The roast meat shop was also crowded and fully booked!
Besides that!
Many people were gathered outside the door!
These were all people who had bought lottery tickets before!
They came to wait for the draw!
To see if they could win the grand prize of five million!
"The draw is in a quarter of an hour, and betting is now closed!" Chen Nan said. This was his first time running a lottery, and in just over two days, he had earned thirty thousand low-grade immortal stones!
This was a very considerable income!
After all, among the many businesses in the Dragon Clan, very few could earn ten thousand immortal stones a day!
However!
There was still a huge gap from the target of eight million low-grade immortal stones per day!

"Shopkeeper Qu, it's time to pay this month's retainer!"
At Ruyi Herbal Shop!
A young woman in a white dress walked in!
Qu Dalin walked out with a fawning smile and said to the woman, "Miss Du, can this month's retainer be postponed for a while?"
Du Yuan frowned, "Shopkeeper Qu, you've always been sensible and never defaulted on your retainer, but what's going on this month?"
"A mere two hundred thousand immortal stones shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
"Are you trying to disappoint my young lady?"
A hint of panic flashed in Qu Dalin's eyes, and he quickly said, "Miss Du, I don't want to default on the retainer, but the herbal shop encountered some problems this month. I acquired over a dozen fake herbs, all of which were hundred-thousand-year-old spirit herbs. This month, I lost all my capital!"
"I hope you can intercede with my young lady for me!"
Qu Dalin's success to this day was due to the help of the noble person behind him!
However!
He had to pay that person two hundred thousand immortal stones every month!
Even though he had thirty-six herbal shops in the Dragon Clan and appeared very wealthy!
But the herbal industry had a serious inventory issue, and he simply couldn't come up with two hundred thousand immortal stones!
"Who is so audacious as to sell you fake herbs?"
A cold voice accompanied by!
A young woman with stunning looks and unparalleled grace, dressed in a golden-red robe, stepped down from a golden carriage outside!
The moment she appeared, she became the focus of the pedestrians on the street!
Many people recognized her!
Not only was she beautiful, but she was also the little princess of the Dragon Clan!
"Greetings, Young Lady!"
Seeing Ao Xiaoyu, Qu Dalin immediately bowed!
This was his backer!
Ao Xiaoyu said indifferently, "Who sold you fake herbs?"
Qu Dalin's face was tense, "Young Lady, this matter is very complicated, and it's difficult to explain in a few words..."
"It's like this..."
Although Qu Dalin spoke of Chen Nan's matter!
Ao Xiaoyu's eyes flashed with curiosity upon hearing it, "So, a cultivator at the peak of the Mahayana stage, after consuming nine hundred-thousand-year-old spirit herbs, still couldn't break through the bottleneck?"
Qu Dalin nodded frantically, "I also found it strange, but that's the fact!"
"This is interesting!"
Ao Xiaoyu showed a meaningful smile, "Where is that person? I'll go and have a look!"
Qu Dalin respectfully said, "He is the owner of Mei Niang's Roast Meat Shop!"
"Yuan'er, go to Mei Niang's Roast Meat Shop!" Ao Xiaoyu turned and walked out!
Du Yuan followed closely. After getting into the carriage, she said to Ao Xiaoyu, "Miss, it's impossible for a Mahayana stage cultivator to consume nine hundred-thousand-year-old spirit herbs and not break through."
Ao Xiaoyu asked, "So, you also think Qu Dalin received fake herbs?"
Du Yuan couldn't help but say, "Isn't it?"
Ao Xiaoyu didn't answer!
Under normal circumstances, she would also think that Qu Dalin received fake herbs!
However!
She had recently read an ancient book passed down for millions of years!
It recorded an extremely terrifying physique!
The Primordial Sacred Body!
These people could only cultivate to the peak of the Mahayana stage and could never step into the Earth Immortal realm to possess an immortal body!
The Mahayana stage was their endpoint!
But there were no absolutes!
Although the Mahayana stage was their endpoint, their strength could still improve!
However, to improve their strength!
It required a large amount of spirit herbs!
She wasn't sure if Chen Nan was a Primordial Sacred Body!
Going there this time was purely for entertainment!
When she arrived at Mei Niang's Roast Meat Shop, it was already crowded!
Everyone held a thin bamboo slip in their hands!
Chen Nan stood at the counter, shaking a handle.
Then, red balls rolled out, each with different numbers written on them!
There was a large crowd gathered here, but the atmosphere was very quiet!
Apart from the sound of rolling iron balls, it was not an exaggeration to describe it as needle-drop silence!
After six red balls came out!
Chen Nan then shook out a basketball!
He arranged the seven balls in order and looked at the crowd, "The results of the first draw of the Double Color Ball have been announced. The red balls are 3, 6, 8, 12, 16, 22, 2, and the blue ball is 7!"
"Everyone can check the lottery tickets in their hands. If you have won, you can directly exchange them for immortal stones!"
A wave of regret came from below!
"Why didn't I win a single one?"
"This is too difficult!"
"Excuse me, I only got the blue ball, how much is this worth?"
The probability of winning the Double Color Ball was still too low!
However, the probability of getting the blue ball was not small!
"Just getting the blue ball is worth ten immortal stones!" Chen Nan shook his head inwardly and pointed to the sign beside him, "Look at the winning explanation here. Those who have won can come to me to exchange for immortal stones!"
"Of course, you can also continue to bet. The second draw will be held at this time the day after tomorrow!"
The Double Color Ball was all about luck!
Although they had placed over fifteen thousand bets the first time, very few had won!
Only over eight hundred immortal stones were redeemed!
Chen Nan felt a little helpless!
The profit from the Double Color Ball was very pleasing!
If he could spread it throughout the entire Dragon Clan and find a powerful figure to assist him, making a fortune every day would not be difficult!
But now!
He didn't know any powerful figures at all!
Even though Mei Niang and Ao Ding had mentioned this matter, Ao Ding couldn't guarantee it!
Although he was a member of the Dragon Clan, his status within the Dragon Clan was not very high!
"You're the one who ate nine hundred-thousand-year-old spirit herbs and couldn't break through?"
Just as Chen Nan was racking his brains, a cold voice reached his ears!
Following the voice, he saw Ao Xiaoyu, dressed in a golden-red robe, as ethereal and refined as a fairy!
Chen Nan looked at her suspiciously, "Miss, have we met somewhere before?"
