Chapter 521
Dongcheng Yang had a good time recently because Long Xue went back to Nebula.
He used to be ambitious, but Long Xue had dampened his spirit.
After Long Xue left, the demonic cultivators didn’t dare to cause any trouble.
Long Xue had thought she could advance to Deity Transformation after she left Nebula, where there was thin spiritual Qi.
After she arrived at the Cloud Continent, she realized that she had to count on the Tower of Babel in Nebula to go to the Immortal World even if she could advance to Deity Transformation in Cloud Continent. The teleportation array between the Cloud Continent and Nebula was guarded, and many Deity Transformation cultivators went to Nebula, which was stirred.
The overall cultivation level of Nebula was lower than that of the Cloud Continent. The crowd of cultivators from the Cloud Continent had shocked Nebula, which asked Long Xue for help.
Xu Muan asked, “Jinting, many cultivators went to explore Nebula. What do you think?”
Xiao Jinting said indifferently, “Leave them alone. We can take advantage of their research results and save our efforts. The most urgent thing to do now is to improve our strength.”
Xiao Jinting learned from Flame that the Immortal World was a dangerous place, so he had to prepare himself for the trip.
Xu Xuan said, “By the way, Father asked me about your shield.”
Xiao Jinting said, “I see. I’ll give him a piece of Immortal Wood and a piece of Heavenly Thunder Wood.” Xu Lingfeng had coveted his weapons, and it was not easy for him to stifle his desire until now.
Xiao Jinting had been careful about showing his weapons because of the lack of strength. However, he was not afraid to do that now. In addition, his identity as the alchemist was exposed.
Xu Muan nodded and smiled. “You are generous. Father will be happy.”
Xiao Jinting said, “Maybe.”
Xu Muan said, “By the way, someone saw the Tree of Life on the Blue Mountain.”
Xiao Jinting widened his eyes. He had got two of the three divine trees in the Spiritual World, and he missed the Tree of Life, the juice of which could ease the side effects of the pills. The Immortal World and the Heavenly Thunder Wood couldn’t do that. With the Tree of Life, he could take pills without worrying about their side effects.
Xu Muan took out a crystal ball and said, “There are images inside.”
Xiao Jinting looked at the ball and said, “It is the Tree of Life, but it doesn’t look like it.”
Xu Muan said, “Someone saw the images and rushed to the Blue Mountain, but there was no Tree of Life. I showed the images to Xiaodong’s pheasant, who said it was a mirage.”
Xiao Jinting thought there had to be the Tree of Life. Otherwise, there would not have been the mirage. However, where was the tree?
He got to his feet and said, “Looks like I have to go there.”
Xu Muan looked at him and asked, “Don’t you go into seclusion?”
Xiao Jinting shook his head and said, “No. Seclusion doesn’t help much after I reached where I am. Besides, the Tree of Life is more important than anything else.”
His Deity Transformation advancement depended on the ripening time of the Pagoda Lotus in the space ring. The spiritual plants were consuming more spiritual stones. Thankfully, he got quite some space rings from the dead cultivators during the journey to the Demonic Abyss, and the treasures pulled him through.
…
At Li Yi’s house.
Xu Lingfeng looked at the treasure in the transmission box and frowned. “These two kids are careless. It’s fine to send common stuff through the transmission box, but they have the nerve to send over such precious treasures so carelessly. What if the transmission box doesn’t work? What if the treasures are lost?”
Li Yi glared at him and said sulkily, “Don’t pick on them. You should be grateful.”
Xu Lingfeng smiled awkwardly and said, “I’m not picking on them. I just think they are careless.”
Li Yi asked, “Don’t you have any confidence in the transmission box that you made?”
Xu Lingfeng nodded, “Yes.”
Li Yi sighed. “Xiao Jinting is so rich.”
Xu Lingfeng nodded. “Yeah, he’s stinking rich.”
Xiao Jinting was wealthy, but Xu Muan claimed that he was poor. If they had not been his son and son-in-law, Xu Lingfeng would have killed them.
Li Yi said, “I learned from Muan that Xiao Jinting is interested in the Tree of Life, and he has got some news about it. He should have set off to look for the tree.”
Xu Lingfeng rubbed his chin and said, “He is restless.”
Li Yi shook his head and said, “Xiao Jinting is getting more famous. Everyone says he is only a few steps away from the Deity Transformation. Thankfully, our son married him. The old men of my family asked me to recommend some concubines to Xiao Jinting, saying he would have affairs sooner or later and it’s better to get him some concubines from the Li family.”
Xu Lingfeng was speechless. The elders of the Li family had the same idea as those of the Xu family. These old monsters tried to be matchmakers. How absurd!
Xu Lingfeng asked, “What did you say?”
Li Yi answered, “I fought with him.”
Xu Lingfeng nodded. “Good.”
