Xiao Jinting was in the jade space. Ice Palace gave him a total of fifty top-grade spiritual stones, all of which he threw into the spiritual spring. He didn’t dare to keep any of them.
He guessed the soul mark on the spiritual stones would be washed away by the spring.
The spiritual spring was significantly improved by the fifty top-grade spiritual stones.
“Mr. Chen, you’ve made a good purchase.” Xiao Jinting looked at Chen Lifeng, who was delighted.
Chen Lifeng smiled and said, “Yeah! I’ve got a few good pills.”
Xiao Jinting quickly said, “Congratulations.”
Chen Lifeng waved his hand and said, “This is the disadvantage of being a free-lance cultivator. If I want pills, I have to go to alchemists, but most of them work for the major sects and would not sell pills to an outsider. Thankfully, I’m lucky this time.”
“Congratulations, Mr. Chen. It seems that you will soon reach the advanced level of Nascent Soul,” Xiao Jinting said.
“What are you talking about? It is not that simple. The pills I have bought can at the most help me advance to the peak of medium level. It’s still a long way to go, unless I have the Nascent Soul Pill, which is rare because it’s refined with dozens of spiritual grass of a thousand years. It’s not easy to get.” Chen Lifeng shook his head and said sadly.
Xiao Jinting raised his eyebrow. He had a Nascent Soul Pill, but it was marked by the old witch of Ice Palace. If he gave it to Chen Lifeng, he might get him into trouble. He decided to make a Nascent Soul pill when he got the chance. Anyway, Chen Lifeng wouldn’t need it until he advanced to the peak of medium level.
Chen Lifeng looked at Xiao Jinting and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Xiao Jinting shook his head, “Nothing.”
“By the way, did you get anything this time?” Chen Lifeng asked.
Xiao Jinting smiled awkwardly and said, “I take a fancy to a lot of things, but I can’t afford any of them.”
Chen Lifeng patted Xiao Jinting on the shoulder and consoled him, “Don’t worry. You’re still young, and you will have opportunities later on. Take this trip as a vacation.”
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “Yes, you are right.”
“The Nascent Soul Conference is held only once in a hundred years. Next time you come, you will be a Nascent Soul,” Chen Lifeng smiled at Xiao Jinting.
Xiao Jinting hurriedly said, “Thank you, Mr. Chen.”
Kong Que came up to them and said, “Mr. Chen, my grandfather has decided to leave tomorrow. Are you leaving as well? Do you like to join us?”
Chen Lifeng nodded and said, “Yes!”
…
When Chen Lifeng and Immortal Flying Hawk were setting off, Nangong Cheng came out with his disciples.
Kong Que looked at Luo Yuting and said curiously, “Mr. Nangong, who is this? I haven’t met her before.”
Nangong Cheng and Flying Hawk were on good terms, and Kong Que saw the former a lot, who usually only took Qiao Xiang with him, so Kong Que had never seen Luo Yuting.
“This is Luo Yuting, a cultivator of our sect,” Nangong Cheng said.
Kong Que smiled and said, “Mr. Nangong, I didn’t know that you’ve taken a woman cultivator with you. If I had known earlier, I would have hung out with her. Miss Luo, you are lucky to be brought out to witness the Conference. When I was a Foundation Establishment, I was often grounded by my grandfather.”
Nangong Cheng smiled awkwardly. Luo Yuting turned pale and twisted her fingers, not knowing what to say.
Kong Fei looked at Qiao Xiang and crossed his arms over his chest, smiling. “Is this your wife, Mr. Qiao? You are so close that you stay together wherever you go.”
Qiao Xiang’s face burned with shame, and he thought to himself, “Kong Fei is mocking me. He knows that I chase after a female cultivator of another sect.”
“It is normal for men to have concubines. They flirt with other women after they get married. I’ve made a mistake of giving way to Luo Yuting and bringing her here. I didn’t know she is not worthy of me before. After I come to Sky City, I realize she is too low for me.”
Qiao Xiang used to think that Luo Yuting was gentle and understanding, but now he felt that she was a burden and embarrassed him.
Nangong Cheng looked at Chen Lifeng and Flying Hawk. “Are you leaving now?”
Flying Hawk nodded and joked, “Yeah. Although the Soul Conference will end in a few days, I’m broke. If I stay, it will be a torture to me since I can’t afford anything. I might as well leave early.”
Xiao Jinting narrowed his eyes. The several large auctions held by the Nascent Soul Conference were over, and there would not be anything good left. It was time to leave.
After exchanging the usual pleasantries, Chen Lifeng and the others left.
Xiao Jinting followed Chen Lifeng on the way back.
Chen Lifeng sat at the front of the boat and said, “I didn’t know that Qiao Xiang is a bad guy.”
Xiao Jinting smiled and said, “Mr. Chen, don’t worry. If Xiao Dong goes out with someone else, I’ll break his leg.”
Chen Lifeng stroked his beard and said confidently, “Xiao Dong and Xu’er are close. Xiaodong is not that kind of person.”
“To be sure,” Xiao Jinting echoed.
