Nangong Cheng sat in a tea house not far from Green Cloud Immortal sect, at which he looked with a complicated expression.
“From the look of it, Xiao Jinting is advancing to Nascent Soul,” Nangong Cheng said.
“Xiao Jinting is only three spiritual roots. How could he advance so quickly? There must be something wrong,” Qiao Xiang couldn’t help but say.
“I’ve inquired about it. A few years ago, Chen Lifeng accidentally revealed the secret. In the Heavenly Haze Secret Realm, Xiao Jinting happened to obtain some Spirit Washing Pills, with the help of which, his family became single spirit root, as well as Chen Xu. That is why they made such a rapid progress,” Nangong Cheng said with envy.
Qiao Xiang widened his eyes. No wonder Chen Xu, whose aptitude was far inferior to his, could make similar progress as him.
Xiao Xiaodong asked Chen Lifeng to spread the news about the Spirit Washing Pills. The Xiao family had progressed too fast, and the other sects would get suspicious if they didn’t come up with a plausible excuse.
This explanation appeased the major sects, who stopped making further investigations. The Xiao family was growing more powerful, and several Spirit Washing Pills would not get them into big trouble even though people were jealous of them.
“Do they have any Spirit Washing Pills left?” Qiao Xiang couldn’t help but ask.
Nangong Cheng shook his head and said, “I don’t think so. It is unusual to have five or six of such precious pills. The Xiao family and Chen Xu took the pills, and there can’t be any left.”
Qiao Xiang secretly let out a sigh of relief. If a single spiritual root could be mass produced, his innate aptitude would be worthless.
“Chen Xu is lucky. Although acquired single spirit root is not as good as the innate one, it’s much better than double spirit root. No wonder he could made rapid progress. At his cultivation speed, he is likely to be a Nascent Soul,” Nangong Cheng said.
Qiao Xiang gritted his teeth. He was humiliated when Chen Xu chose Xiao Xiaodong over him.
In his opinion, Chen Xu was only three spiritual roots, and he would lag behind him because of his low aptitude even though Chen Lifeng helped him. To his surprise, Chen Xu had become single spiritual root long ago.
“Xiao Xiaodong is also a single spiritual root?” Qiao Xiang asked.
Nangong Cheng nodded and said, “Of course. The Xiao family found the Spirit Washing Pills and they gave one to Chen Xu after each of them had taken one.”
“The Xiao family is lucky!” Qiao Xiang couldn’t help but say.
Nangong nodded and said, “Yeah. Dongcheng Yang the cunning old fox has so many single spiritual roots with him, and Green Cloud Immortal sect will become powerful sooner or later.”
Nangong Cheng sighed. He wished that Peerless Sect could cultivate a Nascent Soul, but it was not easy to do that. In the end, Xiao Jinting made it.
…
Immortal Flying Hawk looked in the direction of the Green Cloud Immortal Sect with envy in his eyes.
“Xiao Jinting is not simple. He advances to Nascent Soul at such a young age, and it’s possible for him to advance to Deity Transformation.” He rubbed his chin and said.
Kong Fei disagreed, “Grandfather, you’re exaggerating. There are very few Deity Transformation cultivators in Cloud Continent.”
Sacred Sect was rampant during these years, and quite some Nascent Souls died. Even if Xiao Jinting had the ability to advance to Deity Transformation, he might not survive till then.
Immortal Flying Hawk glared at Kong Fei and said, “You are too arrogant. Spend time on your cultivation instead of bragging. Try to advance to Nascent Soul, so I can show off.”
Kong Fei fell silent as Flying Hawk criticized him.
Kong Que said wistfully, “Mr. Xiao is awesome. I have to call him Senior next time I see him.”
Immortal Flying Hawk patted peacock’s shoulder and said, “Que, you have to work hard. Don’t lag behind him too much.”
Peacock tilted her head and asked, “Grandfather, did Xiao Jinting take the Spirit Washing Pill?”
“Yes, to be sure. He wouldn’t have advanced to Nascent Soul so early with his three spiritual roots even if he is extremely lucky.”
Kong Que nodded, “That’s right! I heard that apart from Xiao Xiaofan who is an innate single spiritual root, everyone in the Xiao family had taken Spirit Washing Pills. They are very lucky.”
Lightning hit Xiao Jinting’s cave like dragons, and thunder roared endlessly.
“The heavenly tribulation is coming. I wonder if he can survive.”
Kong Que said without hesitation, “He can, of course. Xiao Jinting’s body is remarkably strong!”
“Not necessarily. He can’t get through if he resists with his own body without any good weapons,” Kong Fei said sulkily.
Immortal Flying Hawk smiled and said, “Xiao Jinting is the father-in-law of Chen Lifeng’s grandson. I heard that Chen Lifeng lent Xiao Jinting his most precious treasure to survive the tribulation. He treats the Xiao family well.”
“Xiao Jinting should survive this physical tribulation. Tribulation of Heart Demon is more difficult to deal with. It could wake up the deepest fear in one’s heart. If he fails, his newly formed Nascent Core could be broken.”
The lightning kept crashing down, which scared Kong Que.
“Grandfather, are you sure he will survive this physical tribulation?”
Immortal Flying Hawk frowned and said in confusion, “What has Xiao Jinting done? His thunder tribulation was two or three times more powerful than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul.”
Kong Fei was dumbfounded.
