Chapter 600 – The Usage of Providence Core, Next Quest?

The visitors were cooperative after Miaomiao revealed his powers. The arrogant elders from various clans and families became polite.

Miaomiao also called Tugu and Ta Dun out and explained the misunderstandings to everybody. He also compensated for the gifts that his subordinates had extorted from various young masters.

He had no money issue anymore as the quarries and mines kept producing 4th-grade soul stones. As such, he simply threw ten thousand soul stones in front of the group and asked them to forget the previous offenses.

Even without the soul stones, the elders had already given up on the matters. They happily agreed and accepted Miaomiao's apology.

Then, Miaomiao negotiated for the usual business. He revealed his system shop panel, which had been updated. The four new pills were added to the list.

Among the crowd, a dozen initiates from the 12th peak recognized the pill. These guys rushed to the front queue and got excited.

"Can we really swap gender?!"

Miaomiao smirked, "Yes."

"Cool!"

The students examined the list, but they were surprised by the duration of the pills.

One year, five years, ten years, or a hundred years?

Moreover, the price was steep. One thousand years of lifespan could only be exchanged for a medium-grade pill. As for the rest, it was too expensive.

They swallowed their courage. At first, they thought that the pill might last only a few days. However, getting stuck as a woman for years was a bit excessive for their sex study.

Still, a few of them had a weird idea. Their eyes glittered, "I'll buy ten medium-grade pills, please."

"Good. Just input the number here and press the purchase button."

Just like that, Miaomiao earned 10,000 years of lifespan.

Seeing that a youth immortal bought 10 gender-swap pills, the elders coughed and formed queues, pretending to wait to buy immortal centipedes.

The business proceeded on.

Miaomiao was smarter than the last time. He used the shadow clone technique and created 20 copies of himself. Then, he opened 20 other stalls to support other customers. There was also no limit of how many pills or centipedes they could buy.

With 21 lines of queues, the 10,000 immortals quickly got to purchase their goodies. Some bought in bulk while many exchanged their lifespan for a few pills.

Although many immortals were not shameless enough to buy the sex-change pills, it was popular among the local people of Cherry Boy City, where no woman was in sight. It was questionable what they would do with them, but Miaomiao didn't care.

Within half a day, everybody got their centipedes and pills. Everyone dispersed and returned home.

He also received system messages.

Ding

<You have completed Heavenly Dao Quest: Preparation for Pangu Online 2 (1)>

<You have obtained a marble of Heavenly Dao Merit.>

<Heavenly Dao has given you a new quest.>

Miaomiao completed the quest easily as he only needed to sell one million pills. However, he sold over 1.5 million pills, which was overkill.

However, Miaomiao was in a bad mood. He closed the system quest window.

The reason for his foul mood was the leftover items in his shop. The gender-swap pills were not very popular among elders.

All medium-grade, high-grade, and earth-grade pills were sold out, but the sky-grade was left untouched. It seemed that the pill effect of the sky-grade pills was too long.

Miaomiao gazed at 100 sky-grade pills in his inventory.

"100 times 100,000... shit. I lost 10 million years of lifespan."

Despite acquiring 3 billion years of lifespan, Miaomiao felt pity for the loss of profit. He believed that he could have used 10 million years of lifespan for the stopwatch fun activities.

Since 100 sky-grade pills were left in stock, he decided to use them on something else. He checked the number of remaining unsold centipedes.

10,000 adult centipedes were still in stock. As for the baby ones, they were sold out.

As he had sold so many centipedes previously, his customers were not too excited about them. All elders only bought centipede babies to raise them while the young purchased the adult ones to be their mounts or bodyguards.

As for the queens, Miaomiao didn't put them in the shop. They were kept inside his dantian space for his future entertainment project.

Looking at the number of centipedes, Miaomiao had a sick idea. He opened the gate to his dantian world and called the centipedes out.

The army of centipedes reluctantly came out as Miaomiao had ordered. Liu Guang also accompanied them as she wanted to return to the real world as well.

Liu Guang maintained the appearance of a giant reaper mantis with six monster breasts.

"Husband. What are you going to do with my soldiers?"

"Are they your soldiers now?" Miaomiao dryly smiled.

"I've been training them, but you suddenly sold all my soldiers. Now, they are the only ones left."

"I thought you had a private army of bugs, pests, and insects. Why were you training my merchandise?"

"Haiz." Liu Guang grumbled and confessed, "Your centipedes were once karma centipedes. They have a higher potential than my children, and I think they can grow as far as a pseudo-deity... like that centipede dragon that you gave the Heavenly Dao."

"Oh."

"I was thinking, what if I could turn some of them into centipede dragons? Would that be more profitable than selling them directly? You get my idea."

"I see. I didn't think of that."

Indeed, Liu Guang had a brighter idea. She was planning to farm Heavenly Dao Merit Marble by raising multiple centipede dragons.

"But don't worry. I have these 100 gender-swap pills right here, so I only need 100 volunteers to test the pill effects."

Liu Guang frowned, "You're not planning to turn 100 of them into your new concubines, do you?"

"Of course not! It was for scientific research."

Miaomiao didn't explain what he had been scheming. He simply force-fed a sky-grade gender-swap pill into a centipede's mouth.

The centipede cried as it could sense Miaomiao's malicious intent. Its friends also gazed at it in sympathy.

Liu Guang was also surprised. She yelled at Miaomiao, "Husband, you evil..."

"Just look at him."

"..."

The centipede underwent a transformation. Suddenly, it grew larger, and its luster scales looked the same as centipede queens.

A male adult centipede turned into a centipede queen!

Liu Guang's mandibles trembled in shock while Miaomiao burst into laughter. The other centipedes also looked at their colleague in confusion.

SCREE?

The gender-swapped centipede examined its new body. Then, it raised its body high in the sky by instinct, and its pheromone was released to the air.

The adult centipedes inhaled the bitter scent and cried in joy. They swarmed the new queen, trying to mate with her.

Miaomiao giggled while Liu Guang stared at them in astonishment.

"Ingenious. Within 100 years, that queen will give birth to countless evolved centipedes."

"Call me the master."

Both of them watched the centipede gangbang party until the sunrise.

The next day, Miaomiao collected all centipedes back to his dantian space, but Liu Guang stayed outside. She also canceled her transformation as she had a hard time sitting and cultivating.

When Ta Dun and Tugu saw Liu Guang's true appearance, they were astonished by her beauty. However, they no longer had a PP, so they didn't feel like pursuing her.

Miaomiao returned to his room to cultivate while Liu Guang remained in the castle, surveying the area to kill her time.

...

When Miaomiao returned, Xie Fan had been sitting on the bed, looking at the window in a daze. As soon as she saw Miaomiao, she jumped him.

"HUSBAND!"

"Ow!"

Xie Fan latched on him like a monkey baby hugging its mother. Even though she wore no panties, she didn't care.

Miaomiao sighed and patted her naked butt. His fingers slipped inside the front hole.

"Behave, my little wife. You aren't wearing anything down there."

"We're alone, so why should I care?"

"Haiz."

Miaomiao had the urge to pull off his pants and violate this cheeky brat, but he remembered that his dantian was at the limit. He peeled Xie Fan off him.

"I need to cultivate. Restrain yourself a bit."

"Let's dual-cultivate, then."

"I can't. Your primordial yin will kill me if we continue. I need to consolidate my dantian to stabilize it first."

"Boo! Boring!"

Xie Fan booed and stomped out of the room.

Miaomiao finally got to be alone.

'Time to deal with the providence core.'

...

Isolated Dantian Space

All residents gathered around Xu Chu, Miaomiao, and Meowmeow. They were here to listen to the seniors' lecture about providence Qi and providence cores.

Xu Chu used this chance to preach to them about providence.

Normally, providence was a blessing that every mortal received when they were born. Each mortal started with one providence, which would become their gifts. However, nobody could identify their connate providence since this profound blessing couldn't be detected. Only sages, prototype war marionettes, pseudo-sages, Kishin Douji, and Orochi could identify them.

One's connate providence could evolve into a providence core whenever the person's Dao reached the deity's threshold. Each Dao could give birth to one providence core, so it would be wise to comprehend as many daos as possible to raise the chance to obtain the cores. Also, one cultivator might condense more than one cores, depending on their innate talents.

The cores could be used to create a Stellar Planet, which could be used as a dantian headquarter or a power constellation star to support subordinate elemental planes, moons, or planets.

However, deities usually used the cores to upgrade their Daos to get the best benefits. An upgraded Dao could transform into a Providence Law, which governed Daos, forces, powers, and energies that were related to the Law.

For example, the Law of Fire could alter the nature of every kind of flame daos while fire daos were a part of the Fire Law. Anyone with the power of Law would be naturally invincible against deities without one.

Listening to the lecture, Miaomiao was excited. He wondered what kind of Law he could get upon using this providence core.

Unfortunately, Meowmeow warned him, "Unless your dantian can contain providence essence or connate Qi, don't bother using the core, munya. Your dantian will be instantly destroyed if you use the power of Law, munya!"

Again, Miaomiao was reminded that he was a mortal, who had been using the power of the higher realms. He lacked the right foundation to cultivate such supreme power.

Xu Chu also agreed with Meowmeow, "Don't be hasty. I know that your foundation is monstrous, but you're underestimating the power of deities. Instead of using it right now, how about you focus on the new quest reward."

Miaomiao nodded as he brought out the Heavenly Dao Merit Marble. He also checked the next quest, which Heavenly Dao had given him earlier.
