Chapter 18

Rong Jie Xuan was slightly taken aback and laughed, saying, "Do you really like the sealing technique that much?" This was already the second time Rong Kai Xuan had mentioned this technique. The old man pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, I will allow you to read it."

Rong Kai Xuan was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed in gratitude.

Afterward, he stepped back, opened the bottle in his hand, and took out the pill.

It was a light yellow pill, no bigger than a soybean. As soon as the pill was taken out, it instantly released a faint aura that permeated the air.

Rong Kai Xuan blinked a few times and, without hesitation, brought the pill to his father's mouth, saying, "Father, take the medicine quickly."

Rong Yi Yang shook his head and said, "You take it."

Rong Kai Xuan shook the bottle in his hand and said, "There are more inside. You take it first; otherwise, I won't take it."

Rong Yi Yang nodded in satisfaction and swallowed the pill with his saliva. This pill indeed had a miraculous effect. Once it entered his stomach, it immediately transformed into a stream of warmth that spread throughout his body, making him feel warm and extremely comfortable.

He closed his eyes and softly hummed. A moment later, when he opened his eyes, he found that his injuries had already healed by more than half.

He was secretly astonished, wondering what kind of pill this was to have such a miraculous effect.

Looking at his worried son, Rong Yi Yang smiled and said, "It is indeed a divine medicine. My injuries are almost fully healed. Hey, why haven't you taken it yet?"

Rong Kai Xuan patted his stomach and said, "Father, I've already taken it."

Rong Yi Yang, not suspecting anything, smiled and said, "That's good."

"Grandpa Xuan."

Miss Wang suddenly spoke, half teasing and half complaining.

Rong Jie Xuan laughed and slapped his forehead, saying, "Look at my memory." He flicked his finger, and another identical pill landed in Rong Kai Xuan's hand: "Kai Xuan, take it quickly."

Rong Yi Yang was taken aback but immediately realized what was happening. He glared at his son and said, "You little rascal, you even dare to trick your old man." However, although he scolded harshly, his heart was warm, and his eyes were moist.

Rong Kai Xuan smiled and swallowed the pill, saying, "Father, look, the elder has given another pill."

Rong Jie Xuan, unable to help but laugh, said, "This little rascal." However, his tone revealed his unhidden admiration.

Miss Wang and Tie Cheng both nodded secretly, forming a better impression of Rong Kai Xuan.

Rong Jie Xuan waved his sleeve and said, "This matter is settled. Xiao Xiao, Yi Yang, follow me."

Naturally, no one objected and followed the elder away from the bustling market.

The stall owner had long hidden in the crowd. Seeing these big shots leave, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, just as he was about to fully exhale, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and was grabbed by someone.

He looked up and was terrified.

Without knowing when, the stern-faced Tie Cheng had already stood in front of him, and the Law Enforcement Hall officer's hand, like iron, firmly held him.

"Sir, this has nothing to do with me."

The middle-aged stall owner's legs went weak, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

He was not a direct descendant of the Rong family, just an ordinary person trying to make a living in the city. If he angered the Rong family, he would be in serious trouble.

Tie Cheng, expressionless, said, "Hmph, you incited trouble and caused internal strife among the Rong family. Your crime is unforgivable."

The middle-aged stall owner was speechless and loudly protested his innocence.

Tie Cheng's wrist flicked, and a surge of true qi emerged. The middle-aged stall owner's body went limp, and his throat made a choking sound, but he couldn't make a sound.

"You, a despicable person, turn around and even try to frame others. Hmph, I sentence you to ten years of hard labor in the water prison. You will have to endure it."

With that, he grabbed the man and strode away.

The onlookers looked at each other, and one person whispered, "Ten years in the water prison, will he even survive?"

"Ah, this punishment is too severe."

An old man snorted and said, "This person is not a direct descendant of the Rong family but got involved in their internal strife. Hee hee, if he doesn't die, how can the anger of both sides be quelled? How can the Law Enforcement Hall officer explain to the family?"

Everyone fell silent, and one person cautiously said, "Too unjust."

The old man sighed, "This is also his own fault for being greedy and provoking people he shouldn't. His fate serves as a warning to everyone."

At this moment, those still gathered were mostly people who made a living in the market.

After hearing this, they all felt a chill in their hearts.

"But, the main culprits are the Rong Yi Tie father and son," a young man whispered.

The old man glanced at him and slowly said, "Don't forget, they... are surnamed Rong."

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy.

The treatment enjoyed by the Rong family's descendants was indeed different.

In the bamboo grove, Rong Jie Xuan and Miss Wang walked slowly outside a large house.

Miss Wang deliberately lagged behind, her gaze sweeping over the large house.

Rong Jie Xuan smiled and said, "What are you worried about?"

Miss Wang hesitated and said, "Grandpa Xuan, you taught him the sealing technique so early. Aren't you afraid of over-stimulating his growth?"

Rong Jie Xuan laughed and said, "Xiao Xiao, some people cannot be judged by ordinary standards." He narrowed his eyes and said, "You saw his performance today. What do you think?"

Miss Wang solemnly said, "Yes, his spiritual energy characteristics are indeed extraordinary, with a unique attraction to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The spirit warrior he summoned, although only at the initial stage, but..." Her eyes suddenly lit up, "This spirit warrior can actually absorb spiritual energy from the surroundings to replenish its own consumption. It's truly astonishing."

Rong Jie Xuan's face showed satisfaction, and he said, "Follow me."

Miss Wang was slightly taken aback and followed him into the depths of the bamboo grove.

"Look," Rong Jie Xuan stopped and nodded his head.

Miss Wang looked closely and was taken aback, "This is..."

Not far ahead, there was a human-shaped spirit.

Miss Wang herself was a spell spiritist, though she could not condense a spirit, she was not unfamiliar with it.

"See how long this spirit has existed," Rong Jie Xuan asked slowly.

Miss Wang released her spiritual energy to sense it. After a moment, she said, "The core spiritual energy inside this spirit is beginning to dissipate, but not significantly. If I'm not mistaken, it has been summoned for about half an hour."

Rong Jie Xuan chuckled and shook his head, "You're wrong. This spirit has been summoned for a full one and a half hours."

"One and a half hours?" Miss Wang was shocked and exclaimed, "What kind of spirit is this, to last so long?"

Generally, a spirit warrior, if not destroyed in battle, can only maintain its peak state for about half an hour.

Miss Wang had seen many spirit warriors and had rich experience, so she could confidently determine that this spirit had existed for about half an hour.

Rong Jie Xuan stroked his long beard and smiled without speaking.

Miss Wang, being quick-witted, instantly understood the answer. However, this answer was too astonishing.

Her gaze turned to the large house, and she said, "Grandpa Xuan, did he summon it?"

"Indeed," Rong Jie Xuan sighed, "I originally wanted to see if he had the talent of a spirit gatherer. But unexpectedly, he read the spirit gathering technique and casually summoned one. Haha, I was so surprised that I even crushed my favorite teapot."

Miss Wang blinked her beautiful eyes, unsure of what to think.

Rong Jie Xuan continued, "This boy's talent is indeed the strongest I have ever seen. Hee hee, you only know that his summoned spirit is different, but don't forget, his small spirit energy ball can knock out a mid-stage warrior."

Although spiritists control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, once they successfully release a spell, their power is unparalleled at the same level.

However, for an initial stage spell spiritist to knock out a mid-stage warrior with a single spirit energy ball and make him unconscious is abnormal.

Miss Wang thought for a long time and said, "Xiao Xiao understands. This boy's talent is indeed worth your attention and the special teaching of secret techniques."

Rong Jie Xuan nodded slowly, as if talking to himself, "What I admire most is his attitude towards his family. As long as he is not a cold-hearted person, I will naturally find him the best teacher."

Miss Wang's heart stirred, and she asked hopefully, "Grandpa Xuan, are you going to recommend him to your master?"

"Haha, Xiao Xiao is clever and quick-witted, nothing can be hidden from you."

Miss Wang said enviously, "Grandpa Xuan, his luck is really good." She paused and asked with a hint of hope, "Then, do you think I have a chance to become his disciple as well?"

Rong Jie Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "My master only accepts peak spirit masters as disciples. Wait until you reach that level."

Miss Wang's spirits sank, and she became somewhat dejected.

Rong Jie Xuan shook his head slightly but could do nothing about it.

The door of the large house slowly opened, and Rong Kai Xuan walked out with a confident stride.

Rong Jie Xuan and Miss Wang had already been waiting in front of the house for a long time. Seeing him come out, Rong Jie Xuan smiled and asked, "How did you learn?"

Rong Kai Xuan nodded heavily and said, "Thank you, Elder, I will never forget your kindness."

Rong Jie Xuan chuckled and said, "Your father has been waiting outside the spirit hall for a long time. You two go back and rest well. Take care of all the trivial matters within ten days and report to me at the spirit hall."

"Yes," Rong Kai Xuan said loudly, "I will follow your orders."

Waving his hand, Rong Jie Xuan dismissed him.

Rong Kai Xuan bowed deeply to him and then bowed to Miss Wang in gratitude.

Miss Wang returned the bow and watched his departing back, feeling a faint ripple in her heart.
