Chapter 383
Under Xiao Jinting’s careful cultivation, Ice Marrow Grass was finally ten thousand years old.
As Qiu Yun said, Ice Marrow Grass changed after it turned ten thousand years old. The icy blue grass turned purple, and it looked like jade from afar. No wonder it was called Ice Marrow Jade Grass.
After Ice Marrow Grass turned purple, the formulation for Ice Marrow Pill finally appeared in the jade space.
Xiao Jinting suddenly realized why there was no formulation for Ice Marrow Pill before. The jade space felt that Ice Marrow Grass and Ice Marrow Jade Grass were two different spiritual herbs.
Xiao Jinting carefully collected the Ice Marrow Jade Grass and started to make the pill.
Qiu Yun knocked on Xiao Jinting’s door. He frowned when no one responded.
Mu Yun looked at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I was thinking of asking Jinting to go out for a stroll, but he is out,” said Qiu Yun in disappointment.
Mu Yun said with concern, “Where do you want to go? I’ll accompany you.”
“You?” Qiu Yun glanced at Mu Yun and nodded reluctantly.
Mu Yun nodded with joy, “Great.”
Luo Yuting’s room was near Xiao Jinting’s. She was bored, so she occasionally observed Xiao Jinting. Today, she happened to see Qiu Yun and Mu Yun.
When Mu Yun went away with Qiu Yun, she looked at them with jealousy.
Before she came to Sky City for the Nascent Soul Conference, the people in Peerless Sect were envious of her, and she held a high expectation for the conference. However, she found that things were different from what she had imagined.
All the cultivators that she met in Sky city looked at her in disdain, as if she was a rotten apple. At first, Nangong Cheng tried to bear with her, but later he felt so embarrassed that he asked her to stay indoors. Qiao Xiang was in full agreement with that.
Luo Yuting was furious, but she could do nothing about it.
She insisted on coming with Qiao Xiang because he had grown apart from her, and she wanted to win him back. However, her plan backfired. She heard that Qiao Xiang fooled around with a female cultivator of one spiritual root from another sect.
Although she was unwilling to admit it, Luo Yuting knew that there were too many good-looking female cultivators with better aptitude in Sky City. She was not their rival.
Luo Yuting bit her lip. Her aptitude wasn’t outstanding, but Qiu Yun was no better than her. Mu Yun treated him like a treasure and put his interest in the first place even though Qiu Yun ignored him arrogantly.
Mu Yun was a Nascent Soul, and Qiao Xiang was only a Golden Core. The former was far more considerate than the latter.
As Luo Yuting thought about it, she started to complain about Qiao Xiang. If Qiao Xiang was half considerate as Mu Yun, she wouldn’t have to worry about losing him. Many women in the sect tried to steal Qiao Xiang from her, and Luo Yuting thought things would get better after they left the sect. Unexpectedly, the women here were more attractive than those in Peerless Sect.
Luo Yuting gritted her teeth. Qiao Xiang used to look at her with admirable eyes, but now he liked to pick on her.
Kong Que went to Xiao Jinting’s room and knocked on the door. She waited for a long time, and no one responded.
Kong Fei looked at her and said, “Stop knocking. He is out.”
Kong Que nodded ruefully, “I guess so.”
“Kong Fei, Qiu Yun seems to stay nearby. I heard that he bought two pills for eleven thousand medium spiritual stones and sold them for forty-eight medium spiritual stones,” said Kong Que.
Kong Fei nodded and said, “The mysterious alchemist doesn’t show up recently, but some people came up with fake pills and tricked quite some wretched cultivators. Qiu Yun is lucky.”
Kong Que said with envy, “Yeah, forty-eight thousand medium spiritual stones is a large sum.”
Luo Yuting was jealous. The resources of the sect biased towards Qiao Xiang instead of her. She was frightened that she had lagged much behind Xiao Xiang.
The elders of the sect objected to her marriage with Qiao Xiang, but they gave in as he insisted. Recently, Qiao Xiang seemed to regret marrying her. If this continued, she would be divorced.
…
Looking at the pill that he had made, Xiao Jinting was excited.
He held the pill and seemed to see countless treasures flying in front of him.
He put the Ice Marrow Pill in the transmission box, and Ice Palace reacted quickly.
Xiao Jinting received a letter from Ice Palace, saying they wanted to meet him and have a talk.
Xiao Jinting refused without hesitation. Ice Palace repeatedly promised in the letter that as long as the Ice Marrow Pill was confirmed to be real, it would guarantee his safety and rewarded him with what they promised. They would even double the treasures. However, Xiao Jinting didn’t dare to take the risk at all.
As far as he was concerned, he would get what he wanted with the jade space sooner or later. Although the reward from Ice Palace was tempting, it could not make him take such a big risk.
Xiao Jinting refused to meet them, and the negotiation has reached a deadlock.
He stopped communicating with Ice Palace. Without the Ice Marrow Pill, Bing Ning, the Ice Fairy, would die soon, and he would only lose this business, so he didn’t care much.
When Xiao Jinting went out of the room, he saw Mu Yun and Qiu Yun.
