Chapter 94

"Swish swish..."

The evening breeze gently blew, and the bamboo leaves danced in the air like spirits, emitting a subtle sound. Rong Kexiong strolled along the bamboo grove path, his mood seemingly much improved.

Arriving at the small house within the bamboo grove, Rong Kexiong bowed slightly and said, "Disciple Rong Kexiong pays respects to the clan elder."

"Come in," Rong Jiehan's voice slowly sounded.

Rong Kexiong responded, respectfully pushing the door open and entering.

Rong Jiehan moved a recliner into the room, lying there and seemingly idly swaying. He glanced at Rong Kexiong and smiled, saying, "Kexiong, what's the matter? Why do you need to see this old man so late?"

Rong Kexiong smiled slightly, taking out two boxes and saying, "You once instructed that if I made any extra spirit warrior talismans, I could also offer them to the clan."

Rong Jiehan's eyes lit up. He sat up and laughed, "I've heard Elder Sen say that you have a talent for making talismans. Let this old man see how capable you are."

He smiled and opened one of the boxes, immediately feeling a sharp aura rush towards him.

However, he was no ordinary person. Although the aura was powerful, it did not faze him.

Nodding slightly, he said, "Not bad, there are at least two hundred talismans here. Oh, first-class superior, did you make all of these yourself?" He turned his head, asking in surprise.

He had once seen a mid-stage spirit warrior who could make spirit warrior talismans.

But that was a renowned genius under the eldest disciple, and that person had only managed to make first-class inferior spirit warrior talismans.

Compared to the first-class superior in his hand, there was a vast difference.

Rong Kexiong nodded slightly, saying, "Yes, they were made by me."

Rong Jiehan looked at him deeply, suppressing the shock in his heart, and curiously opened the other box.

The box still contained talismans, but the number was much fewer.

A mere ten talismans, not enough to create a pressing aura.

Rong Jiehan was slightly stunned, not understanding why Rong Kexiong had placed the talismans in two separate boxes.

His mind suddenly stirred, and his divine sense was released. In just a moment, his expression became extremely exaggerated.

"Whoosh..."

His body immediately stood up from the recliner, the speed so fast that it even created a strong gust of wind.

"Impossible..." Rong Jiehan suddenly raised his head, his eyes fixed on Rong Kexiong, saying, "This... was also made by you?"

Rong Kexiong smiled and nodded, saying, "Disciple recently gained some insights, closed the door to practice, and managed to make them by chance."

Rong Jiehan's facial muscles twitched slightly, his heart truly turbulent and unable to calm down.

He was a congenital spirit practitioner, though not a spirit gatherer. However, among his fellow disciples, there were such figures. Therefore, he clearly knew what kind of freak could summon a first-class superior spirit warrior at the mid-stage spirit warrior level.

At first, he thought the eldest disciple's follower could match Rong Kexiong in talent. But now, he knew that even this genius, favored by many in the sect, was far inferior to Rong Kexiong.

After a long time, Rong Jiehan carefully closed the box in his hand. He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Kexiong, can you promise me one thing?"

Rong Kexiong was slightly stunned and quickly said, "Clan elder, please instruct, Kexiong will certainly comply."

"Good, don't go around boasting about your ability to make first-class superior spirit warrior talismans."

Rong Kexiong looked into the elder's serious eyes, feeling warmth in his heart, and said, "Clan elder, please rest assured, I had no intention of boasting about it."

Rong Jiehan nodded in satisfaction, saying, "The clan will accept these. Hmm, do you need anything? Whether it's spirit weapons, spirit pills, or anything else, this old man will try to get them for you."

Rong Kexiong had already planned this in his mind, saying, "Junior indeed needs some things, please help me exchange them."

After offering the talismans to the clan, the clan would give corresponding rewards. Although the value of the rewards would definitely be lower than the talismans, the clan would also compensate in other ways.

If it couldn't be fair and just, the large clan would have long fallen apart.

Rong Kexiong smiled broadly, saying, "Disciple wants a few first-class spirit swords, six sets of defensive armor, a large number of spirit pills, and some medicinal herbs, etc..."

He casually listed a bunch of items, clearly well-prepared.

Rong Jiehan's brows slightly furrowed, unable to resist asking, "Kexiong, what do you need these for? They aren't very useful for your cultivation."

Rong Kexiong smiled bitterly, saying, "Clan elder, I have several siblings to take care of."

Rong Jiehan finally understood, waving his hand generously, saying, "Alright, I'll prepare these things for you." He paused and added, "However, the prices of these items are quite high. I can authorize you to take them first. But in the future, if you make more first-class superior spirit warrior talismans, remember to pay back the debt."

Rong Kexiong nodded repeatedly, saying, "Disciple understands."

Rong Jiehan stroked his long beard, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Kexiong, I heard you obtained a third-class spirit weapon?"

Rong Kexiong's heart tightened. It had only been a month, how did Elder Rong Jiehan know? When he obtained the third-class spirit sword, there weren't many outsiders present.

"Clan elder, how did you know?" Rong Kexiong asked in confusion.

Rong Jiehan chuckled, saying, "It's already a hot topic in the clan that you obtained a third-class spirit weapon, but due to your strength, you can't use it." His gaze suddenly sharpened, saying, "Kexiong, be careful in the future."

Rong Kexiong nodded slowly, feeling increasing hatred and caution towards Gu Tianhe and others.

It seemed that the guy had already calculated the subsequent changes when he gave the sword to calm him down. Truly a terrifying enemy.

"Clan elder, please rest assured," Rong Kexiong nodded slowly, saying with determination, "Disciple already has a solution."

Rong Jiehan looked at him in confusion but couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

After a long time, Rong Jiehan waved his hand, saying, "In two days, it will be Xiaoxiao's birthday. Have you prepared a gift? If you haven't, I have some spares here, take them."

Rong Kexiong, even if he were bolder, wouldn't dare accept such kindness.

The two chatted for a while, and Rong Kexiong took this opportunity to ask several questions that had puzzled him.

Although he had the shadow of a five-element spirit body spell practitioner in his body, any spell related to the five elements could be easily learned and used proficiently by them.

However, this was ultimately the spirit body performing, and for the owner of the spirit body, it was always like a thin veil, unable to see the other's true appearance clearly.

Therefore, Rong Kexiong had accumulated many questions and now asked them freely. However, Rong Jiehan, being a powerful congenital spirit practitioner, had far more knowledge than Rong Kexiong. No matter what questions the latter asked, he answered them smoothly and easily.

After a long time, Rong Kexiong finally stopped asking, thinking seriously for a moment, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Clan elder, Kexiong understands."

Although Wang Xiaoxiao had also answered some of his questions, compared to Rong Jiehan, the young girl was still quite inexperienced and far less thorough and vivid in her explanations.

With the practical experience of the five-element spirit body spell practitioner, combined with the elder's explanations, Rong Kexiong truly entered the hall of spirit practitioners and laid the deepest foundation.

※※※※

The next day, Rong Jiehan indeed sent several large bags.

Rong Kexiong gathered his brothers and sisters, distributing the items in the bags.

Among them were weapons, armor, and various pills.

Rong Kaihua might not care about these, but his other siblings were different. They played and laughed, finally dividing all the items.

Another day passed, and the main gate of the family head's residence was wide open. The important figures in the clan had mostly arrived early.

Rong Kexiong's family was fully mobilized, from Rong Jielin to Rong Kailong, none were left out.

Although they were all cultivators, in the Rong family, they were not considered a major force, far from being widely known.

However, what surprised them was that as soon as they arrived at the family head's residence, someone recognized them and respectfully bowed, saying, "Lords, the family head has given instructions. If you come, please go directly to the inner hall."

Rong Jielin's eyes twitched slightly, saying, "Lead the way."

He turned to look at Rong Kexiong, his heart clear. The family head's special treatment, allowing their entire family to enter the inner hall, was naturally due to Rong Kexiong.

He sighed inwardly, this grandson truly brought glory to the family.

The group left the noisy hall and directly went to the back courtyard.

Rong Kexiong looked ahead, his gaze slightly sharpening. He saw a high platform and a few scattered snacks below.

On the platform, besides the birthday person Wang Xiaoxiao, there were five others. Rong Kexiong was not unfamiliar with three of them: the clan head Rong Yihuo, his great-grandfather Rong Jiesen, and Rong Jiehan from the spirit hall.

These three powerful figures, who held significant positions in the clan, smiled lightly in their direction, and everyone's heart rate quickened.

Thanks to Rong Kexiong, even the clan head and Elder Rong Jiehan looked at them differently.
