Chapter 150
Every day, Xiao Jingting took Xiao Xiaofan to a few gambling stone shops before returning to the cave.
Xiao Xiaofan could always pick out good stones and Xiao Jingting’s jade pendant space was soon replenished with spiritual stones making the aura inside very rich.
The Illusory Snow Lotus in the space bloomed one after another and soon Xu Muan’s cultivation advanced to the eighth level of Qi Practice.
“When the Illusory Snow Lotus is refined into Lotus Pill, I should be able to advance to the ninth level of Qi Practice.” Xiao Jingting was very proud of himself.
The ninth level of Qi Practice! The person behind the Xiao Family who always kept a low profile was a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Practice! If he advanced to the ninth level of Qi Practice, he would be comparable to the family head. At the time when he returned to the Xiao family, he would definitely impress others and his future would be bright.
However, the life span of the ninth level of Qi Practice cultivator was still only about 100 years. If he advanced to Foundation Building, he would obtain a life span of two hundred years. Therefore, he had to find a way to advance to Foundation Building.
In front of a big power like the Marquis, the ninth level of Qi Practice was still not enough. Only by Foundation Building, could he have an equal status with them.
Thinking of Foundation Building, Xiao Jingting couldn’t help feeling a little enthusiastic.
Although Ouyang Mingyue was nice towards them, in fact her attitude was still a little condescending. In front of those big families, his current level of cultivation was not enough.
“Where is Xiaodong? These two days I have been looking for him to have fun outside, but he didn’t want to go.” Xiao Jingting asked Xu Muan.
Xu Muan sighed lightly and said,”Xiaodong said that he seemed to have sensed a bottleneck at the third level of Qi Practice. Therefore, he closed the door to cultivate.”
Xiao Jingting,”…” His own eldest son was a cultivation addict and would cultivate as long as he had time. It really made him, an old man, feel a bit ashamed!
“Xiaodong is under a lot of pressure.” Xu Muan was a bit worried.
Xiao Jingting shook his head and said helplessly,”At such a young age, so sentimental, I’ll go to see him.”
Xu Muan secretly sighed. Xiaofan’s cultivation had already caught up with Xiaodong’s. Back then, Xiao Xiaofan was not as good as Xiaodong but now Xiaofan shouldered the heavy responsibility of “supporting the family”. Xiaodong didn’t say much about it, but he should still be a little anxious. After all, back then between the two children, Xiao Jingting loved Xiaodong more and the more capable one was also Xiaodong.
After all, the child had a bitter life back then and thus worried so much about gains and losses now.
Now Xiao Jingting was very good to him. However, when he dreamt in the middle of the night, he always worried that everything now was just a beautiful dream.
Xiao Jingting walked into the house and saw Xiao Xiaodong sitting cross-legged on the bed with a stern expression.
Xiao Jingting looked at Xiao Xiaodong’s serious face and shook his head.
Xiao Xiaodong opened his eyes. Seeing Xiao Jingting, he was shocked.
“Father, what are you doing here?” Xiao Xiaodong asked.
Xiao Xiaodong’s face was calm, but Xiao Jingting could tell that Xiao Xiaodong was a little reserved.
Xiao Jingting rubbed Xiao Xiaodong’s head and said,”Seeing you haven’t eaten, I came to see you.”
Xiao Xiaodong shrugged his shoulders and said,”I’m not hungry. Dad, I am a cultivator. It doesn’t matter if I skip a meal or two.”
“You are still a child, a child should eat well. Don’t think too much about it.”
Xiao Xiaodong drooped his head and pinched the corner of his clothes as he tried to say,”If my cultivation is stagnant and I can’t earn silver, dad, will you like me?”
Xiao Jingting,”…” This child was so young but worried a lot!
Xiao Jingting knocked on Xiao Xiaodong’s forehead, saying,”What are you thinking about? Of course, you are my child. Even if you are useless and will only do mischief, I would still like you. Earning money is your father’s business. As for cultivation, take your time. Look at your dad, I only advanced to the third level Qi Practice when I was a teenager, and you are still so young, so there is no need to worry!”
Xiao Xiaodong chuckled and leaned against Xiao Jingting affectionately. “Dad used to be very useless.”
Xiao Jingting secretly rolled his eyes thinking:‘This child is too shameless and even dares to speak ill of me after hearing a few words of consolation. He even blamed me, his own father.’
Xiao Jingting embraced Xiao Xiaodong. Xiao Xiaodong rarely got close to Xiao Jingting, so it was really heart-warming.
Xiao Jingting pinched Xiao Xiaodong’s face and asked,“Hungry? What do you want to eat?”
“I want rose cake, fried bananas, doughnuts, caramel pudding, coconut cinnamon cake…”
Xiao Xiaodong ordered a large number of cannons, making Xiao Jingting stunned. Every time Xiao Xiaofan ate these pastries, Xiao Xiaodong always looked disgusted. Xiao Jingting thought that Xiao Xiaodong didn’t like these things, but it turned out…
Xiao Jingting opened his eyes wide full of surprise as he looked at Xiao Xiaodong. Xiao Xiaodong’s face turned red from embarrassment.
“Since you want them, then I will prepare them for you. No, I will immediately make them for you.” Xiao Jingting patted his chest. The eldest son rarely made any requests, so he naturally wanted to satisfy the boy.
Xiao Xiaodong’s belly became round and he was lying on the bed sleeping, no longer thinking about advancing.
Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jingting and said,”You have made a lot of delicious food for Xiaodong.”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said,”Yes!” He knew that Xiao Xiaofan liked eating, but he didn’t expect that Xiao Xiaodong was also a glutton. “For children, no matter how much they are troubled, as long as there is something delicious, it will be done.”
Xu Muan,”…”
