Chapter 281
As time went by, Xiao Jinting got the news of various cultivators getting the treasures. Many people were lucky, but Xiao Jinting seemed to have exhausted his luck after he got the Spirit Cleansing Grass. Although he couldn’t get hold of anything else, he was contented.
After staying in the inner city for a while, Xiao Jinting finally understood why some people could easily find the treasure.
In some major sects, there were elders who had participated in the trial of Heavenly Haze Secret Realm. They had entered the inner city and found some treasures, but they failed to take them away due to different reasons. After they were fully prepared, they sent their disciples in to find the treasures.
The young disciples were well prepared with clear goals and first-hand information, so their chance of finding treasures was better than that of Xiao Jinting.
Xiao Jinting heard that someone had recently got a Nascent Soul Pill in the secret realm. The pill could help improve the cultivation of Nascent Soul, and it was the most coveted treasure among Nascent Soul Cultivators. Treasures kept emerging, which excited the people and triggered countless battles.
Chen Xu sat by the bed, dangling his feet in depression.
“What’s wrong?” asked Xiao Xiaodong.
Chen Xu shook his head. “Nothing.”
In the blink of an eye, they had been in the inner city for more than six months. Chen Xu had been counting the days. Although he didn’t bear much hope for the Spirit Cleansing Grass in the beginning, he started to feel anxious as time was running up.
“Are you thinking about Spirit Cleansing Grass?” asked Xiao Xiaodong.
Chen Xu shook his head. “No, Spirit Cleansing Grass is too precious. It’s all right if we can’t find it. I didn’t have much hope at first.”
Xiao Xiaodong snorted, “I don’t believe you. You look disappointed.”
Chen Xu lowered his head sadly. They had made painstaking efforts to enter the inner city, but they got little treasure. He felt disappointed.
“This is for you.” Xiao Xiaodong extended his hand.
“What is this?” Chen Xu asked.
“Spirit Cleansing Pill,” Xiao Xiaodong said.
Chen Xu looked up in surprise. “Where did you get it?”
Xiao Xiaodong smiled and said, “I found it before. I thought it was just an ordinary pill and put it away, but now I found it.”
Chen Xu looked at Xiao Xiaodong suspiciously, who smiled and said, “Don’t worry. It’s not poison. Take it.”
Although Chen Xu was a little curious about the source of the pill, he didn’t doubt the effect of the pill since it was given by Xiao Xiaodong.
After he took the pill, Chen Xu started to have a fever. After a long time, he started to lowly recover. Xiao Xiaodong had seen this coming, so he stayed with Chen Xu and took care of him.
“Has he fainted?” asked Xiao Jinting.
Xiao Xiaodong nodded, “Yes.”
It was a torture to take the Spirit Cleansing Pill. Xiao Jinting felt delighted when he took the pill, but very soon he felt a deadly pain. According to his observation, the more spiritual roots, the more pain from taking the pill.
Xiao Xiaodong and Xu Muan did not feel the pain as he did after they took the pill.
After taking the Spirit Cleansing Pill, one would fall into a coma, but he remained conscious without knowing what was going on around him.
Chen Xu lay on the bed sweating. Xiao Xiaodong fed him water a few times and carefully watched over him.
Chen Xu closed his eyes. His face was contorted in pain, but the corners of his mouth curved up delightfully.
Xiao Xiaodong recalled that he saw what Chen Xu dreamt of in the mine. In his dream, Chen Xu had only one spiritual root, and Chen Lifeng was very satisfied. Xiao Xiaodong looked at Chen Xu and thought that when Chen Xu woke up, his dream would come true.
…
In fact, there were not many treasures in the inner city, but when one of them appeared, it was valuable. As the secret realm was closing, the fights in the inner city became more intense.
Xiao Jinting found a place and hid with Xiao Xiaodong and Chen Xu.
The spiritual Qi in the inner city was very rich, which was suitable for cultivation. In Xiao Jinting’s opinion, the spiritual pills and herbs that other people were fighting fiercely for were not important. After all, he had the jade space, and he could ripen the spiritual grass if he was to up the ante.
Other people were pursuing spiritual grass of old age, while he was after seeds or seedlings of various spiritual grasses. It was an easier job.
Xiao Jinting let out the golden bees and scorpions, which helped him search for dead cultivators in the secret realm and see whether there was any treasure he could take. Although it was not an honest method, he had to do that for the spiritual stones.
Chen Xu woke up and found that he had only one spiritual root. He was overjoyed.
After he became a single spiritual root, Chen Xu was contented. He didn’t think of other treasures and cultivated himself with Xiao Jinting and the others in the secret realm.
After taking the Spirit Cleansing Pill, Xiao Jinting sped up his cultivation and soon reached the Perfect Level of Foundation Establishment. He thought he could start forming the core after he went out of the secret realm.
Xu Muan’s cultivation level went up to the advanced level of Foundation Establishment. Xiao Xiaodong and Chen Xu rose to the medium level of Foundation Establishment with the rich spiritual Qi.
