Chapter 170
Xiao Jingting looked at a few sickly Jasper peaches and felt quite helpless.
The main body of Jasper Peach was very thin with many cracks on the trunk. A few tiny fruits, hanging on the branches, looked malnourished.
Xiao Jingting cast several spells on Jasper Peach tree but unfortunately none of them took effect.
Xiao Jingting found that all his spiritual energy was automatically applied to the main body of Jasper Peach tree, which was like a funnel, leaking out all the spiritual energy it absorbed.
The trunk was sick and crooked, so branches naturally could not thrive and could only bear small fruits. After receiving the task, Xiao Jingting spent the whole day in the peach forest, using a variety of methods, even using the spiritual spring in the space, but there was still no progress.
Xiao Jingting had no choice but to try the skill of grafting what he learned on Earth. First, he transplanted a few close relatives of the jasper peach, and then he transplanted the fruit-bearing branches of the jasper peach to other trees. Before doing it again, Xiao Jingting decided to go back home first.
“You’re back just in time. I was about to look for someone to find you.” When Xu Muan saw Xiao Jingting, he was immediately overjoyed.
Looking at Xu Muan, Xiao Jingting said, “Did something happen?”
“Your son wants to enter Green Cloud Immortal Sect to work for someone as a handyman, equivalent to a servant.” Xu Muan said.
“Handyman?” Xiao Jingting’s eyes widened.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Yes, Xiaofan is an elite disciple of Green Cloud Immortal Sect. He has a strict daily life and it’s difficult to see him. Xiaodong thought of a way of serving some discipline of Green Cloud Immortal Sect as a handyman.” Green Cloud Immortal Sect only accepted disciples between four and eight years old. Xiao Xiaodong had already passed this age and now was not the time during which they recruited disciples anyway, so if he wanted to enter Immortal Sect, he could only find another way.
As a matter of fact, many disciples with good talent who missed the examination would enter the Immortal Sect as handymen for disciples of the Immortal sect. If they encountered an opportunity, handymen could also become regular disciples but the probability of it was very low.
Xiao Jingting hesitated for a moment as he said, “It’s too unfair for Xiaodong…”
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Yes! I thought so too, but he seems to have made up his mind for Xiaofan.” Xiao Jingting’s face blackened as he said, “What is he trying to do?!”
“Xiaodong contacted Ouyang Jinyue, who has just reached the sixth level of Qi Practice, which is enough to take in handymen,” Xu Muan said.
Xiao Jingting, “….”
“What do you think?” Xiao Jingting looked at Xu Muan and asked.
Xu Muan shook his head and said with some headache, “I don’t know the situation of the Green Cloud Immortal Sect. If Xiaodong goes to work as a servant for Ouyang Jinyue because of his relationship with Xiaofan, she will not treat Xiaodong badly. However, as far as I know, Ouyang Jinyue’s status in the Green Cloud Immortal Sect is not very high, so Xiaodong’s status would be even lower.”
Xiao Xiaodong opened the door, walked in, and said, “Father, daddy, don’t worry too much. I have already made up my mind. It doesn’t matter if I’m just a handyman or have low status. As long as I get in, I can see Xiaofan. If the situation is really difficult, I will let Ouyang Jinyue drive me away, anyway, the Immortal Sect will not care too much if the disciple’s handymen will stay or not.”
Xiao Jingting looked at Xiao Xiaodong, hesitated for a moment and said, “You have a plan in your mind.”
Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “Don’t worry, father, I’ll be flexible.”
Xiao Jingting took out a spatial ring and said, “This is for your brother. He loves to eat and I don’t know if he is thin now. I made him a lot of food and put it all in this spatial ring. If you see him, give it to him, if you don’t see him, you can keep it for yourself.”
Xiao Xiaodong took the ring and said solemnly, “I will try my best to find a way to give it to my brother.”
“By the way, father, are you in trouble?” Xiao Xiaodong asked.
Xiao Jingting looked at Xiao Xiaodong and said with some confusion. “How do you know that?”
“Qiu Yun from the North has a great reputation. It is said that no foundation building cultivator can pass his assessment. Many people think that he has psychological problems.” Xiao Xiaodong said mysteriously.
Xiao Jingting, “…”
Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jingting and said in a panic, “Is it really troublesome?”
Xiao Jingting thought for a moment and said, “This, we won’t know until we try it.”
Xiao Xiaodong lowered his head and didn’t tell Xiao Jingting that if he became a Spiritual Planter of Green Cloud Immortal Sect, he would be allowed to bring his family members, but there would be only two slots.
…………
Xiao Jingting searched for several close relatives of Jasper peach tree and spent a large amount of spirit stones to transplant them into the Spiritual Herb Garden.
The Spiritual Herb Garden was extremely large and had a lot of unused open space so when Xiao Jingting transplanted several peach trees over, it was not obvious.
“Senior, what are you doing here?” Wei Li asked.
Xiao Jingting said lightly, “These peach trees will be useful when they are planted.”
Wei Li nodded and said, “Senior, if you say it is useful, then it must be useful.” After receiving benefits from Xiao Jingting, Wei Li became very respectful to Xiao Jingting.
