Chapter 153
Inside the cave house.
Xiao Jingting’s family ate together. Xu Muan looked at the vacant seat beside Xiao Xiaodong and sighed lightly.
Xiao Jingting patted Xu Muan on the shoulder and said,”Alright, our son is going to learn profound techniques at Immortal Sect. It’s not like he has gone to a tiger’s den. Don’t worry.”
Xu Muan shook his head and said,”Nevertheless, I’m still a little worried about him!”
It would be fine if Xiaofan was as smart as Xiaodong, but Xiaofan could not even compare to ordinary people.
“Don’t worry, that man said that our son has good qualifications. He will be trained intensively once he enters the Immortal Sect. Green Cloud Immortal Sect, how many people would fight for this opportunity?” Xiao Jingting comforted Xu Muan.
Xu Muan nodded and said,”I know.”
The people from the Green Cloud Immortal Sect only accepted disciples once every ten years. So he didn’t know when he would be able to see Xiaofan next time.
Once the people from the Green Cloud Immortal Sect left, Star City was suddenly much less crowded.
“Work hard on your cultivation, when we advance to Foundation Building, we will think of a way to go to the Green Cloud Immortal Sect realm.” Xiao Jingting said.
Xu Muan nodded and solemnly said,”Yes, I have to improve my cultivation as soon as I can. Otherwise, the next time we see Xiaofan, his cultivation might already surpass mine.”
Xiao Jingting rubbed Xiao Xiaodong’s head and said,“You should also work hard on cultivation, so when you meet Xiaofan next time, you can compete in cultivation.”
Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said,”I will try my best.”
Xiao Jingting pondered and said,”I have to think of a way to earn some money.”
Once Xiaofan left, it was impossible to make a fortune by gambling stones.
Previously, Xiao Jingting tested his aptitude by using the roulette wheel of the Foundation Building senior. He had three spirit attributes of wood, water and earth, and according to the senior’s words, a three-spirit root only had a one-in-ten chance to advance to Foundation Building after taking the Foundation Establishment pill while a two-spirit root had a one-in-three chance. He had three spirit roots so he was afraid that he needed to prepare a few more Foundation Establishment pills.
Xu Muan had fire and gold dual attributes, while Xiao Xiaodong had wood and water dual attributes. In their family, his qualifications were the worst. Although Xiao Jingting had long found that his qualifications might not be good, it was still a bit unpleasant for it to be confirmed.
“I found that there are quite a few alchemists in Star City, and there are places where you can sell pills. When your pills sell, spirit stones would be automatically deposited in your account so the pill master doesn’t even need to show up.” Xu Muan said.
Xiao Jingting widened his eyes and said,”Is that so?”
Xu Muan nodded and said,”Yes.” He had already planned to sell pills. However, Xiaofan made more money by gambling. He didn’t expect…
In order to obtain spirit stones as quickly as possible, Xiao Jingting sold many pills.
Time flew by and Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan stayed in Star City for more than half a year. After this half a year, their strength increased to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Practice.
…
“It seems that every time we meet, Young Master Xiao would surprise us!” Ouyang Mingyue looked at Xiao Jingting and said sourly.
After the Green Cloud Immortal Sect finished accepting disciples, Ouyang Mingyue left Star City, which was not easy and unaffordable for most people to live in.
To Ouyang Mingyue’s surprise, Xiao Jingting brought Xiao Xiaodong and Xiao Xiaojin to live in Star City for more than half a year. Moreover, when they met again after half a year, Xiao Jingting was already at the ninth level of Qi Practice.
Although Xiao Xiaofan was brought on board the Immortal Sect’s ship, the last minute, the news still reached the Ouyang family. Learning that Xiao Xiaofan had a single spiritual root, the Ouyang family immediately made a decision to befriend Xiao Jingting.
Xiao Jingting smiled and said,”I am flattered. Is Miss here to participate in the Star City auction?”
Ouyang Mingyue nodded and said,”That’s right, Young Master Xiao is already at the ninth level of Qi Practice, so he should be aiming at Foundation Establishment pills this time.”
Xiao Jingting smiled bitterly and said,”I need them, but it’s a pity that I don’t have enough in my pocket.” Ouyang Mingyue laughed and said,”Young Master Xiao, you must be joking.”
“I’m not joking. I really don’t have money.” Xiao Jingting spread his hands.
At the auction held by Star City, there were three Foundation Establishment Pills for sale. Foundation Establishment Pills were so attractive that countless cultivators had come. Xiao Jingting was almost sure that there would be a fierce fight during the bidding.
Xiao Jingting didn’t come for the Foundation Pill, but rather, for the several spirit grasses in the auction.
In the past half a year, after Xiao Jingting knew about a variety of spiritual grasses, the jade pendant space actually automatically presented several different Foundation Establishment Pill recipes which Xiao Jingting immediately treated as treasures.
Some of the spiritual grasses used to refine Foundation Establishment pills were not only precious, but also had strict requirements for their age.
The age limit of the spiritual grasses was not a problem for Xiao Jingting. As long as there were enough spirit stones, he could grow enough spiritual grasses.
Both he and Xu Muan were good alchemists, and they earned a lot of spirit stones by selling pills on consignment.
Sometimes, Xiao Jingting would think that if he knew that selling pills on consignment was so profitable, he would have never taken Xiaofan out. Sometimes, Xiao Jingting would also think it was good to take Xiaofan out because the Green Cloud Immortal Sect was a good place! Xiaofan could make great achievements there.
Ouyang Mingyue looked at Xu Muan, her expression complex.
After Xiao Xiaofan was taken away by the Green Cloud Immortal Sect, the details about Xiao Jingting’s family were exposed to the public. Naturally, Xiao Jingting’s absurd past was also under investigation.
Thinking about the news of Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan’s discord in the investigation, Ouyang Mingyue only found it ridiculous. How good the relationship between this husband and wife was?! How motivated Xiao Jingting was?!
“Xu Muan’s cultivation is progressing quickly.” Ouyang Mingyue said in a melancholy voice.
Ouyang Mingyue thought:‘When I saw Xu Muan and Xiao Jingting last time, his cultivation was at the eighth level of Qi Practice and Xu Muan the seventh level of Qi Practice. Now, I am still at the eighth level of Qi Practice while both of them were already at the ninth level of Qi Practice.’
Ouyang Mingyue also doubted the reason why their cultivation progressed so fast, but she attributed it to the Foundation Building cultivator from Green Cloud Immortal Sect. She thought that before Jian Yi left, he had given Xiao Jingting and his wife some kind of benefit.
“I am flattered.” Xu Muan said lightly.
