Chapter 282
Time flew, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.
After Xiao Jinting and the others came out, they found that there were only a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators left in Green Cloud Immortal Sect. When they entered the inner city, there were over a hundred.
Xiao Jinting spotted Liu Jinrong among the Green Cloud Immortal Sect cultivators. Liu Jinrong was surprised to see Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan.
Xiao Jinting knew that Liu Jinrong had safely entered the inner city, but they didn’t meet because the inner city was big.
“Jinting, it’s nice to see you again.” Liu Jinrong smiled and greeted Xiao Jinting.
It had never occurred to Liu Jinrong that he would see Xiao Jinting again. When he entered the inner city, Liu Jinrong wanted to take Xiao Jinting along with him, but the magic tools given by the sect could only help five people safely go through the passage to the inner city. Xiao Jinting did not ask him for help, so Liu Jinrong did not bring Xiao Jinting with him. Later, Liu Jinrong heard that Xiao Jinting chose the passage of fire and thought that Xiao Jinting was dead, so he didn’t look for him.
Xiao Jinting said with feigned fear, “If it weren’t for Mr. Chen, I wouldn’t be able to see you again.”
As soon as Chen Xu came out, Chen Lifeng took him away.
“You are lucky to make a good friend of Mr. Chen.” Liu Jinrong said with envy.
Xiao Jinting smiled, “Yeah, Mr. Chen is very nice.”
Xiao Jinting joined the team of Green Cloud Immortal Sect and handed over the gains from the space ring.
Xiao Jinting turned in more things than ordinary cultivators, and some cultivators looked at him with envious eyes. Xiao Jinting actually did not want to attract the attention, but it was not proper to turn in fewer things, as Liu Jinrong knew that he had entered the inner city.
The spiritual grasses that Xu Muan and Xiao Xiaodong took out were similar to the other ordinary cultivators.
The management of the Sect accepted the spiritual grasses and converted them into contribution points for them.
With these contribution points, they could go to the Sect to exchange for spiritual stones and pills.
Xiao Jinting looked at his points and estimated he could exchange for two or three hundred medium spiritual stones.
The elder in charge of collecting the gains looked gloomy, as if he was dissatisfied with what they had turned in.
“Let’s go.” The Golden Core cultivator of the Green Cloud Immortal Sect released a flying ship and asked them to board it and go back to the sect.
Xiao Jinting got in the ship excitedly. He felt complicated as he recalled that he set off with a lot of people back then, but now few survived and went back with him. Although cultivators of this world were much stronger than the ordinary people of the last world, they were easy to perish as well.
…
“Jinting, your gains are not bad.” Liu Jinrong said.
Xiao Jinting waved his hand and said, “Well, they are only ordinary grasses, far inferior to those who found the Nascent Soul Pill and spiritual milk of one thousand years.”
Liu Jinrong smiled bitterly and said, “How can we compete with them? I heard that someone took the nest of the golden bees, but I never heard that any sect got the golden bees’ honey, which could be made into more than ten Golden Pills. Did the person who had got the honey die in the secret realm?”
“The other sects are not fools, and they would not announce it if their disciples got the honey,” Xiao Jinting said calmly.
Liu Jinrong nodded. “That’s right! It’s said that someone got the Soul Refining Water, but no cultivator turned in such a thing. I guess it is hidden away.”
“Those Golden Core cultivators are cunning, and they won’t show off the treasures that they have got.” Xiao Jinting said.
“The Peerless Sect seems to have good gains. Their leader has a big grin on his face,” Liu Jinrong said bitterly.
Xiao Jinting squinted. “What has the Peerless Sect got?”
Liu Jinrong shook his head, “I don’t know either.”
…
The flying ship flew fast towards the Green Cloud Immortal Sect.
Xiao Jinting felt uneasy as he approached the sect.
“We can finally return to Green Cloud Immortal Sect. I wonder how Xiaofan and Xiaojin are doing,” Xiao Jinting muttered.
Thinking of his two young sons, Xu Muan was excited and worried.
“Xiaojin should be crying after we have left them for so long,” Xu Muan said helplessly.
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “Yeah.” It had been three years. He wondered if the two little chaps had gained or lost weight.
Xiao Xiaodong also missed Xiao Xiaofan and Xiao Xiaojin, but he pursed his lips without saying anything.
After Xiao Jinting got back to the sect, he first went to the Northern Herb Garden.
Xiao Xiaojin, who was cultivating in the garden, rushed to hold Xiao Jinting’s legs at sight of him and roared like a wolf.
Hearing Xiao Xiaojin’s wailing, Xiao Jinting suspected whether his youngest son had the blood of a wolfhound.
He felt a pang at his heart when he looked at the child’s aggrieved expression. It was cruel of him to leave his youngest son for three years.
Xiao Xiaofan stood behind Xiao Xiaojin and looked at Xiao Jinting with blinking eyes.
Xiao Jinting looked at Xiao Xiaofan and thought, “My second son has grown up a lot. In the past, he would have sprung up at me and asked for hugs, but now he seems to be restrained.”
“Father, why do you come back so late? I thought you had abandoned me,” Xiao Xiaojin yelled.
Xiao Jinting looked at Xiao Xiaojin and said, “Why are you thinking that way? Why would I abandon you?”
“Because I eat a lot,” Xiao Xiaojin said.
Xiao Jinting said helplessly, “What nonsense!”
“Steward Qiu said so,” Xiao Xiaojin said.
