Chapter 174
Xiao Jingting’s grafting went very smoothly. After grafting, the Jasper peaches on several peach trees started to mature.
But Xiao Jingting was more worried about whether the medicinal properties of the Jasper peach would change after the grafting.
Qiu Yun seemed to be very interested in the technique of grafting and often came over to have a look.
Xiao Jingting originally felt that Qiu Yun had an indifferent and impersonal personality, but after talking with him, he found he was quite easy to get along with. He was also very generous and as long as the work was done well, the reward was great.
Xiao Jingting finally became relieved after learning that Xiao Xiaodong had already “met” with Xiao Xiaofan and confirmed from Xiao Xiaodong that Xiao Xiaofan was eating well, sleeping well, and was not very thin.
“The fruit on that tree is almost ripe,” Qiu Yun said.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes!”
“Will the medicinal properties change?” Qiu Yun asked.
Xiao Jingting shook his head and said, “I’m not really sure, it’s the first time I’ve done this.”
“So it’s like this.” Qiu Yun casted a few spells on the spirit trees transplanted by Xiao Jingting, which released a dense aura. Xiao Jingting who was standing beside him suddenly had the feeling of being blown by a fresh breeze on a hot summer day, then several peach trees suddenly became prosperous.
Xiao Jingting found that Qiu Yun’s ability to cultivate spiritual medicine was also very powerful.
The Jasper Peach trees were very difficult to transplant, but Qiu Yun could transplant so many with one move. Unfortunately, all of his Jasper peaches were ill.
Qiu Yun plucked a jasper peach and took two bites. After a few moments, excitement flashed across his face.
“You have passed the test. I will be giving you a full time position from now on. You will be responsible for this peach forest.” Qiu Yun said.
Xiao Jingting immediately let out a sigh of relief and said, “Thank you, Steward Qiu.”
Qiu Yun waved his hand and said, “No need to thank me, you deserve it. I should thank you, you have helped me a lot.”
“If you need something, you can come to me for help. However, you’d better find a place to settle down first. After you become a hired Spiritual Planter of the Green Cloud Immortal Sect, you can let your family members live here. However, due to regulations of Green Cloud Immortal Sect, one Spirit Planter can only bring a maximum of two family members. You’d better think well of who you want to bring.” After Qiu Yun said these words, he left.
Xiao Jingting looked at Qiu Yun’s back as he left and couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.
Xiao Jingting thought: Xiao Xiaodong might have known that there was such a rule that one planter could only bring two family members. Therefore, Xiaodong said earlier that he would go to work as a handyman for Ouyang Jinyue. If his son was just an ordinary child, Xiao Jingting would not think much about it, but the problem was that Xiao Jingting knew very well that he was a considerate but introvert freak, who possibly knew the overall situation first.

Xiao Xiaodong played with the Purple Cloud bow in his hand and said, “This bow is really nice!”
Ouyang Jingyue nodded and said, “Of course, it’s good. The bow string is made from late Foundation Building dragon’s tendons. The body of the bow is integrated with an iron crystal. If you made a bow with so many good things, it should rightfully be good.”
Xiao Xiaofan’s technique of refining weapons was already praised by people. In addition, this guy was a black sheep who would use as many good things as he could get in the refinement, so naturally things made by him were very impressive.
“Luckily I came early, otherwise such a good thing would be given to that brat Dong Lin.” Xiao Xiaodong said somewhat thankfully.
Ouyang Jingyue nodded and said, “Yes!” Ouyang Jingyue also didn’t like Dong Lin, but Dong Lin’s cultivation level was much higher than hers, so she couldn’t do anything about it even if she didn’t like him.
“When are we going to the back mountain?” Xiao Xiaodong asked.
“I’ve taken a task to catch the Snow Jade Rabbit. We can go anytime.” Speaking of the task, Ouyang Jinyue also became a little excited.
“Snow Jade Rabbit, what is it?” Xiao Xiaodong asked.
“It’s a kind of spirit rabbit and it’s usually at the second or third level of Qi Practice. Snow jade rabbits are cute, so many female cultivators like to raise them. If you catch it, it can be sold. One can be sold for three or four pieces of spirit stones.” Ouyang Jinyue explained.
Xiao Xiaodong was full of disdain as he said, “You female cultivators are so boring. You don’t even have enough time to cultivate but you still want to raise rabbits.”
“You might be bored with such a simple task! But I can’t do any dangerous tasks with my low cultivation base.” Ouyang Jinyue said grimly.
Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “In that case, let’s go.”
Ouyang Jinyue nodded and said, “Okay.”
Although the cultivation level Xiao Xiaodong revealed to the public was only at the fifth level of Qi Practice, Ouyang Jingyue knew that his cultivation was much higher than that. Following Xiao Xiaodong, Ouyang Jinyue felt him reliable.
Xiao Xiaodong followed Ouyang Jingyue into the back mountain forest and walked for some time.
“Here we are, this is where the Snow Jade Rabbits are often hunted. Although the Snow Jade rabbit’s strength is not high, it runs very fast and can easily slip away.” Ouyang Jingyue said.
Xiao Xiaodong nodded and lightly leaped up the tree.
Ouyang Jingyue looked at Xiao Xiaodong who was standing on the tree for a moment and her eyes flashed with surprise. Xiao Xiaodong’s movements were simply as light as the wind.
Xiao Xiaodong touched the bowstring gently, and several wooden arrows shot from Xiao Xiaodong’s fingertips with a whoosh sound.
Ouyang Jingyue followed the path of the arrow only to see six arrows, forming a circle, trapping a snow-white rabbit, inside.
Ouyang Jingyue excitedly walked over and put the white rabbit in the spirit animal bag.
