Chapter 144
Ouyang Di walked towards Ouyang Jing, making Ouyang Jing call out in fear. “Grandpa Di.”
Ouyang Di was a Foundation Building cultivator at the City Lord’s Residence. There were originally five Foundation Building cultivators but one of them fell, leaving four Foundation Building cultivators. One of them was Ouyang Di, and his position was very respectable. Ouyang Jing was usually ignored in the Marquis family and Ouyang Di would never pay attention to a concubine daughter like her, so suddenly seeing Ouyang Di paying attention to her, Ouyang Jing couldn’t help but feel a little flattered.
Ouyang Di glanced at Ouyang Jing, pointed to Xiao Jingting and asked,”Do you know that person?”
Ouyang Jing didn’t know why, but she nodded and said,”Yes!”
“What family is he from? What kind of cultivation the elders from his family have?” Ouyang Di asked.
Ouyang Jing answered respectfully. “He comes from the Xiao family from Desert City. But it’s a small family and the highest cultivator is at the ninth level of Qi Practice in his family.” Although she was a little confused about why Ouyang Di was interested in Xiao Jingting, Ouyang Jing hurriedly answered.
“The highest cultivator in the family is only at the ninth level of Qi Practice?” Ouyang Di asked.
Ouyang Jing nodded and said,”Yes!”
“In that case, this person doesn’t have any family support and his cultivation to this point is all thanks to his good aptitude.” Ouyang Di said.
“He also participated in the Biyue Forest trials before, and obtained lot of opportunities during the secret trial.” Ouyang Jing glanced at Xiao Jingting and her heart surged with jealousy. She also took part in the Marquis’ household trials but gained nothing and almost made a fool of herself. But, Xiao Jingting was in the top ten in the trial and seemed to have exchanged for a lot of good pills.
“It should be, if you don’t meet the opportunity, you won’t be able to reach the eighth level of Qi Practice at this age. Try to get a good relationship with him if you can.” Ouyang Di said.
Ouyang Jing opened her eyes wide, and said in surprise,”Grandpa Di, you said he’s at the eighth level of Qi Practice?”
Ouyang Di nodded and said,”Yes! Just like that Mingyue girl. Both of them are at the eighth level of Qi Practice, but this boy seems to be a little younger than Mingyue. So young, but at the eighth level of Qi Practice, he might have a great future.”
Ouyang Jing couldn’t believe it, she gritted her teeth. How could it be? Xiao Jingting was at the eighth level of Qi Practice and not the seventh?
In the past, when she and Xiao Qingyan were together, Xiao Qingyan always belittled this younger brother of his in front of her. Xiao Jingting should have been at the third level of Qi Practice two years ago, but in just two or three years, this guy advanced by five levels. How on earth did this person practice!? How lucky he was!
“Grandpa Di, is Xiao Jingting’s aptitude very good?” Ouyang Jing asked.
“If he has cultivated himself to this point, naturally his aptitude is good. If there is a Foundation Establishment Pill, it is not impossible for this guy to step into the Foundation Building realm. Unfortunately, Foundation Establishment Pill isn’t easy to obtain.” Ouyang Di said. Foundation Establishment Pills were also a rare item in the Green Cloud Immortal Sect. Over the years, he didn’t know how much effort it took the Ouyang family to exchange for a handful of seven or eight Foundation Establishment Pills from the Green Cloud Immortal Sect.
“Grandfather Di, what are you guys talking about?” Ouyang Mingyue who just came out asked.
Ouyang Di smiled at Ouyang Mingyue and said,”It’s nothing. It’s just that kid over there, he has some abilities and I can make friends with him.”
Ouyang Mingyue was a little surprised. This family senior was farsighted but he rarely looked at someone this way. This Xiao Jingting really had some abilities.
“That brat is hiding a little bit of his cultivation, he is at the eighth level of Qi Practice just like you.”
Ouyang Mingyue widened her eyes. No one knew how much effort it had taken her to get to this point, how many people were in the Ouyang family and how much she had paid in order to stabilize her position. Xiao Jingting was at the eighth level of Qi Practice just like her. Could it be that Xiao Jingting was a single spirit root? If she was a single spirit root, she would be the focus of cultivation in the Green Cloud Immortal Sect.
Ouyang Mingyue was eager to enter the Green Cloud Immortal Sect. Now she felt a little depressed.
…
Ouyang Mingyue walked to Xiao Jingting. Xiao Jingting looked at the young lady of Marquis mansion, and felt guilty. The Illusory Snow Lotus that he stole from Ouyang Mingyue was still lying in his spatial ring. Xiao Jingting planned to wait for some time to refine this Illusory Snow Lotus into a Lotus Flower Pill and use it to increase his strength.
The Illusory Snow Lotus was much higher in grade than the other spiritual plants. With the recent lack of aura in the jade pendant space, Xiao Jingting did not dare to spawn it in large quantities.
“Miss Ouyang.” Xiao Jingting called respectfully.
Ouyang Mingyue sized up Xiao Jingting and said,”You look somewhat familiar!”
“We’ve met before. I was lucky to get in the top ten in the trial.” Xiao Jingting said.
Ouyang Mingyue nodded and said,”Really? However, it seems like I’ve seen you even earlier.”
Xiao Jingting laughed and said,”I only had the honor of meeting Miss Ouyang after the trials were over, so perhaps Miss has seen someone similar to me.”
“Why do you want to go to Star City?” Ouyang Mingyue asked.
“My cultivation is stagnant so I want to go to Star City and look for opportunities and to see if I can earn some spirit stones.” Xiao Jingting said.
Ouyang Mingyue looked at Xiao Jingting, nodded, and said with a meaningful look,”That’s right, if you want to advance from the eighth level of Qi Practice base, you have to look for opportunities.”
Xiao Jingting was stunned for a moment, since Ouyang Mingyue should not be able to see through his cultivation. However, it could not be hidden from that Foundation Building cultivator in Ouyang Mingyue’s group. Foundation Building cultivators could easily live to 200 years old, so it was tempting to even think about it.
Xiao Jingting laughed and said,”Yes!”
“Your cultivation is progressing fast.” Ouyang Mingyue said.
Xiao Jingting smiled and said,”This is all thanks to the pills of a few alchemists from Marquis residence.”
Ouyang Mingyue’s gaze shifted to Xiao Xiaofan. “I heard that your son had gambled out a Spiritual Silkworm!”
Xiao Jingting smiled and said,”Yes! Xiaofan’s luck is very good!”
Ouyang Mingyue looked at Xiao Xiaofan and Xiao Xiaodong, narrowed her eyes and said, “Young Master Xiao has taught his children well, both of his sons are now at the second level of Qi Practice.”
“Where could these two compare to Miss Jinyue?! She is at the third level of Qi Practice at such a young age!” Xiao Jingting said.
The young ladies of the big family were different. His two little boys were also considered to be blessed with spiritual spring water to develop their meridians, however it still could not be compared to the Marquis’ all-out cultivation of this young lady!
