Chen Lifeng nodded and said, “That’s right. It is said that a core will be created in the cultivator’s body after he takes the pill, and the coldness of the body will be sealed inside the core. As a result, the cultivator will not suffer from his physique, and he will make remarkable progress in his cultivation.”
Xiao Jinting looked at the long list of treasures and said, “No wonder the reward is so tempting.”
“Bing Wu is the Elder of Ice Palace, and she is a Deity Transformation cultivator. Her family is diminishing, and it is not easy to have a talent, who turns out to have Physique of Ice. Therefore, she is very anxious.”
“No one knows how to refine the Ice Marrow Pill?” asked Xiao Jinting.
“Well, there is the formulation for the Ice Marrow Pill, but the main ingredient of the pill is Ice Marrow Grass of ten thousand years old. Ice Marrow Grass of one hundred years is common, but it is difficult to find one at the age of one thousand years. As for the grass of ten thousand years, no one has ever found it over tens of thousands of years.”
Xiao Jinting nodded, “Oh, I see.”
Looking at the golden reward, Xiao Jinting felt excited. The fifty top-grade spiritual stones alone were a huge sum of money. If he secured this deal, he would not need to worry about the other business.”
…
Xiao Jinting followed Chen Lifeng out to watch the fun and met two acquaintances.
Qiao Xiang and Luo Yuting followed behind Elder Nangong, a Nascent Soul in Peerless Sect. Qiao Xiang had got mature and serious.
“Mr. Nangong, long time no see!”
“Mr. Chen, it’s been a long time. I heard that your arm has been healed. Congratulations.”
“Mr. Nangong, you are well-informed.” Chen Lifeng smiled.
“The news of your recovery spread quickly.”
“Mr. Nangong, are you taking your disciples out to widen their horizon?”
Nangong Cheng nodded and said, “Yeah.”
Xiao Jinting watched Nangong Cheng and Chen Lifeng exchange greetings. Nascent Souls didn’t easily make enemies of each other. Although Nangong Cheng and Chen Lifeng had some grudge, it was not serious, so they were still on speaking terms.
After Nangong Cheng and Chen Lifeng chatted for a while, they parted.
Qiao Xiang sullenly watched as Chen Lifeng left. He gloated when Chen Lifeng lost the arm, but he hadn’t expected him to recover so soon.
“Senior, is it easy for a Nascent Soul to regenerate an arm?” Qiao Xiang asked.
“Of course not. It is easy if the lost arm is retrieved in time, but Chen Lifeng’s arm was destroyed right on the spot,” Nangong Cheng said.
“Come on, let’s go back to our place first,” Nangong Cheng said.
Qiao Xiang nodded, “Okay.”
Nangong Cheng glanced at Luo Yuting. He regretted taking her along when Qiao Xiang begged him.
This was the first time Nangong Cheng had come to Sky City, where there were many masters. Nangong Cheng had heard about it before, he didn’t take it seriously.
When they arrived, Nangong Cheng found out that Nascent Souls were not respected in Sky City as he had imagined. The other Nascent Souls took Golden Cores with them, which made him conspicuous for taking a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Qiao Xiang glanced at Luo Yuting, feeling rueful as well. After arriving in Sky City, Qiao Xiang realized that his aptitude was nothing compared with others. Among the disciples brought by the other Nascent Souls, the single spiritual roots could be seen everywhere. There were some of the single spiritual root cultivators with special bloodlines and special spiritual physiques. Those were real talents.
“Xiao Jinting looks young, but he is at the advanced level of Golden Core,” Nangong Cheng muttered.
Qiao Xiang turned grave. He had investigated Xiao Jinting and knew that his aptitude was ordinary. He couldn’t understand why Xiao Jinting, who had three spiritual roots, could advance to the advanced level of Golden Core so quickly. There must be something wrong.
After he advanced to Golden Core, Qiao Xiang felt that his cultivation had slowed down. Even though the elders told him that this was natural, he was irritated. He had a remarkable aptitude, but his cultivation lagged behind the Xiao family and Chen Xu.
Luo Yuting glanced at Qiao Xiang, feeling depressed.
Before they were married, they had been close, but after they got married, they grew apart gradually. She had pestered Qiao Xiang to ask the elder to take her on the journey to improve their relationship, but when they reached Sky City, she realized that she shouldn’t have come.
Sky City was crowded with Nascent Souls and Golden Cores. There were a few Foundation Establishment cultivators, but they were talented young people adored by their Nascent Soul elders. People had been giving her the cold shoulder, which overwhelmed her. Even Nangong Cheng was slighted because of her, so he was biased against her.
Nangong Cheng glanced at Luo Yuting and frowned. “Yuting, the situation in Sky City is complicated. From tomorrow, you should stay in the courtyard.”
Luo Yuting blushed and replied, “Okay.”
Chen Lifeng looked back at Nangong Cheng, who was leaving in the other direction.
“Mr. Chen, what’s wrong?” asked Xiao Jinting.
Chen Lifeng smiled and said, “Nothing. It is foolish of Nangong Cheng to take with him not only a Golden Core at the preliminary level but also a Foundation Establishment cultivator.”
Xiao Jinting smiled without saying anything. In other places than Sky City, Nascent Souls could take anyone with him. However, a Nascent Soul at the preliminary level was slighted here, let alone a Foundation Establishment.
“The spiritual Qi of Qiao Xiang is far inferior to Xu’er. I seemed to have overestimated him,” Chen Lifeng shook his head in disdain.
Xiao Jinting was speechless. Was Chen Lifeng trying to belittle Qiao Xiang or praise Chen Xu?
