The next day.
“You’re back.” Mu Shuyu came to him excitedly as soon as she saw Xiao Jinfeng.
“Come in quickly. Jingting sent you a bowl of medicine soup made from the Dream Birdwood Flower. Drink it quickly,” said Mu Shuyu.
Xiao Jinfeng was surprised and asked, “Where did Jingting get the Dream Birdwood Flower?” They were hardly available, and they were expensive even if they were available.
Mu Shuyu shook her head and said, “I don’t know. Quickly take it. You will lose its effect if it exceeds the time limit. Xu Muan just sent it over to meet the time you come back.”
“Send it to Jingting. He also needs it.”
Mu Shuyu shook her head and said, “I proposed it, but Xu Muan said that Jingting had already taken his share. This one is for you.”
“Jingting is a kind man,” said Xiao Jinfeng who was surprised to hear that.
Mu Shuyu said, “Yes! The grand competition will be held soon. The stronger you are, the greater security you will have. If you meet Jingting during the competition, you two brothers will help each other.” Mu Shuyu was very worried after she heard from Xiao Jinfeng yesterday that they would take part in the competition, even though she did not react much.
Xiao Jinfeng nodded, and said, “Well, I will.”
……
Xiao Jingting operated his spiritual energy for a long time, and then opened his eyes. With his body filled with the spiritual energy, Xiao Jingting knew that he successfully became a level-6 Qi practitioner.
Xiao Jingting moved his hands and feet, with much complacency.
“A level-6 Qi practitioner is really different! That explains why Xiao Qingyan walked on air when he became a level-6 Qi practitioner.” Xiao Jingting felt that he could look after two or three times as much land as before.
Xu Muan patted Xiao Jingting on the shoulder and said happily, “It’s nice for you to be promoted.”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes! I’ve heard that there are a lot of level-6 and level-7 Qi practitioners in the Hou Family. I don’t know how those guys cultivate themselves.”
“The Hou Family is different,” said Xu Muan who thought for a moment.
“What do you mean?” asked Xiao Jingting.
“A rumor says that our wild continent, in fact, all belong to a sect called the Green Cloud Immortal Gate. Many high spiritual plants here are provided to the Green Cloud Immortal Gate for resources. The Green Cloud Immortal Gate is the holy land of cultivation. The Hou Family has some relations with the people of the Green Cloud Immortal Gate. With the care of the Immortal Gate, the members of Hou’s Family practice much more quickly, who are different of course,” said Xu Muan.
Xiao Jingting was surprised to hear that, “I know nothing about it!”
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Yes! However, the Immortal Gate was so far away. It is said that it’s difficult for even a Base Building practitioner to reach the Immortal Gate. You’d rather focus on something real than the Immortal Gate. The grand competition is about to start. Did your parents give you something for protection?”
Xiao Jingting shook his head and said, “No.”
Xu Muan sighed and said, “Then you should prepare for it yourself. Even if your parents give something to you, it will only be left over by Xiao Qingyan. It won’t be of much use.”
“I think so,” said Xiao Jingting. Some fingers were long and some others were short. No matter how many sins Xiao Qingyan committed, who was the most loved son of his parents. You could not change the truth. But he was not the original body’s owner. He would have a guilty mind if he received great kindness from the parents of the original body owner.
…………………
At the Xiao’s.
“Are these all from your parents!?” asked Zheng Pei’er excitedly who looked at the sword, talismans and protective clothing on the table.
Xiao Qingyan nodded, and said, “Yes!” His parents had been not satisfied with his promotion by taking Dan medicine. But, they thought he was prescient after the Hou Family issued the order.
A level-5 Qi practitioner could be considered outstanding among the young generation in Desert City, but a level-5 Qi practitioner was common in a competition hosted by the Hou Family. A level-6 Qi practitioner would be much different. It was said that the participants this time were most of level-5 Qi practitioners. And a level-6 Qi practitioner was also an elite in a big city.
“So your parents still love you most,” said Zheng Pei’er.
Xiao Qingyan nodded, and said, “Of course.” It was useless for his two brother, Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng, to do business well, because they were not beloved by his parents.
“In fact, it would be better for my two younger brothers as level-4 Qi practitioners. They could be safe at home. But I don’t know how they have become level-5 Qi practitioners to be on the list. The competition is so dangerous that a level-5 Qi practitioner will die easily in this competition,” said Xiao Qingyan who sighed deeply.
Zheng Pei’er nodded and said, “You’re right.” She hoped that Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng would die in the competition. One of them had been a black sheep, the other had been out all the time. She had felt nothing about them, but now, she was sick of these the two guys.
“What is Jingting doing now? I have known how afraid of death this guy is from the way he reacted when my father mentioned the competition hosted by the Hou Family. He’s thinking about how to avoid the chase during the competition before it starts. He might run away in case that the situation is unfavorable,” said Xiao Qingyan as he shook his head.
“We have to find someone to watch him. He will get the whole family into trouble, if he tries to escape the competition,” said Zheng Pei’er.
“Xiao Jingting always has no sense of priorities. That’s possible,” said Xiao Qingyan as he shook his head.
What was Xiao Jingting doing now? He was taking Xiao Xiaofan to buy stones in the big gambling houses of the city. They bought a lot of stones after Xiao Xiaofan touched or embraced the raw stones.
Xiao Jingting covered up his power with magical spell before they went out home. Xiao Jingting was a level-6 Qi practitioner. No one could find out his real power if he was cautious.
Xiao Jingting bought a lot of stones, which caused much attention.
Some people thought that Xiao Jingting spoiled his child, because he followed his child to buy the stones.
Some people thought that Xiao Jingting had recently earned too much money, so he was readily to spend some.
Some people thought that Xiao Jingting got back to be a prodigal once again.
Some people suspected that Xiao Xiaofan had some talent on selecting stones, but more people only thought Xiao Jingting became crazy before the upcoming competition, who wanted to get some rare treasures so as to enhance his power.
