Ch97 - Regretful Xu Family Brother and Sister

Half a month later, Liu Mufeng’s pill shop welcomed the second batch of customers.

Seeing that Dong Feipeng had brought a group of the Lingwu Sect disciples to the shop, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu greeted them with a smile.

“Fellow Daoist Dong, you are here!” Seeing Dong Feipeng, Liu Mufeng showed a polite smile. He found that the cultivator named Zhang Meng was no longer in Dong Feipeng’s team. His team had also grown from a dozen people to thirty-six people. The group was much larger now.

“On the mountain road, I saw the flyers and the Golden Insects who distributed them. So, I brought everyone here to find this shop. Sure enough, it’s fellow Daoist Liu.” Dong Feipeng smiled when he looked at Liu Mufeng. Then, he turned to Jiang Xu. “And may I know who this is?”

“This is my Dao companion – Jiang Xu.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng introduced his wife to the other party.

“Oh, it turns out to be Young Master Jiang. I heard that Young Master Jiang had been promoted to the Spiritual Master Realm. It’s really gratifying to finally meet you.” Looking at Jiang Xu, Dong Feipeng said graciously.

“Fellow Daoist Dong.” Looking at Dong Feipeng, Jiang Xu greeted him lightly.

“En.” Nodding with a smile, Dong Feipeng looked at Liu Mufeng. “Fellow Daoist Liu, can we talk alone?”

“Okay, let’s go to the cave next door.” After speaking, Liu Mufeng and Dong Feipeng left together.

As soon as they left, the other disciples of the Lingwu Sect began taking the pills on the shelf in the cave.

Looking at Jiang Xu sitting there as the master, Jiang Dong’s face was very unsightly. In the past, he was very jealous of Jiang Xu, who had a single spiritual root, and also despised him, who was neither male nor female. He felt that the innate talent of being a single spiritual root in Jiang Xu, who was born to be suppressed by men, was simply a waste of good fortune.

But what about now? The current Jiang Xu was in the Spiritual Master Realm, one of the best in the secret realm, and he was still a nine star in the Spiritual Realm. Even standing in front of Jiang Xu like this required great courage. Because he knew that he couldn’t even catch Jiang Xu’s move. The most envious, despised person ever. But now, he had left him behind, knowing that he could no longer catch up.

Being compared to the person she despised the most made Jiang Min feel very uncomfortable and unwilling. However, looking at Jiang Xu, who was so nourished, she found out in despair that she could no longer handle or control this person. This person had already broken free from her control. Not to mention her, it could be said that even her Grandpa would have a hard time getting hold of Jiang Xu now.

Seeing Jiang Xu who was extremely dazzling at the moment, Xu Qianshan regretted his past actions very much. In fact, the first person he liked was not Jiang Min but Jiang Xu. However, his parents said that because Jiang Xu was a Dual, he was less noble than Jiang Min. What would he gain by having Jiang Xu? As a result, he married Jiang Min, the Eldest young lady of the family, who had mediocre cultivation. Jiang Xu, the abandoned son of the Jiang family, had suddenly emerged excellently. In just a few months in the secret realm, he was promoted to the Spiritual Master Realm. If the person he married back then was Jiang Xu, wouldn’t everything be different now? Thinking of this, Xu Qianshan felt remorse.

Peeking at Jiang Xu from the corner of her eyes, Xu Qianya was the one who feared Jiang Xu the most. Because she was the weakest among the four. Her strength was now barely one star in the Spiritual Realm. Back then, even a nine star in the Spiritual Mortal Realm like Meng Shishi could be killed by Jiang Xu with a single sword slash, not to mention her one-star cultivation in the Spiritual Realm. Therefore, seeing Jiang Xu again after four years, Xu Qianya was still very scared. She now regretted her actions very much. She once offended Jiang Xu, a cold-blooded murderer, by talking too much. She now feared that Jiang Xu would kill her with a sword if he was unhappy.

The transaction was conducted in an orderly manner. Many cultivators chose the medicinal pills and came to Jiang Xu to trade for the spiritual plants. The order was maintained well.

After a moment, a young cultivator in the Lingwu Sect clothing walked in front of Jiang Xu. “How to exchange this?”

Seeing that the other party was holding a bottle of spiritual water, Jiang Xu raised his eyebrows. “This is the spiritual water that my partner and I found in the secret realm. It belongs to the precious treasure category. Only ten thousand years of precious treasure and spiritual plants could be traded for it. Anything lower than that cannot be exchanged.”

The young man frowned and said meekly. “Brother Jiang Xu, let’s discuss for a moment. I don’t have ten-thousand-year-old spiritual plants.”

Seeing the embarrassed look on the boy’s face, Jiang Xu shook his head. “No discussion. This spiritual water is a good item. My partner and I don’t have many, just a few bottles. If it weren’t for the trading of spiritual treasures to assist cultivation, we would be reluctant to take it out.”

This young man was none other than Meng Shishi’s half-brother, Meng Jin. However, Meng Jin was only a descendant from a concubine, while Meng Shishi was a direct descendant from the main wife, so the relationship between the two siblings was awful. In addition, the master of the Meng family doted on his granddaughter, and Meng Jin’s mother was a lowly singer, so Meng Jin had no status in the Meng family.

Hearing Jiang Xu’s words, Meng Jin gritted his teeth, took out a box from his storage ring and handed it to Jiang Xu. “Then, do you think this is a precious treasure?”

“What is it?” Raising his eyebrows, Jiang Xu opened the box and saw that the jade box contained a box of soil. “Soil? Meng Jin, you dare to play with me?”

“No, this is a box of spiritual soil. Isn’t your partner an alchemist? He can use this soil to grow spiritual plants. Moreover, Earth Spirit Insects can also eat spiritual soil to improve their strength. If you don’t believe me, find an Earth Spirit Insect and ask. If it wasn’t for the spiritual water, I wouldn’t give it to you.” Speaking of this, Meng Jin was very helpless. In fact, Meng Jin was also a second-level alchemist. Although his alchemy skills were very mediocre, his ability to cultivate spiritual plants was excellent. Initially, he planned to bring this soil back to grow spiritual plants. However, when he saw the spiritual water, he changed his mind. Spiritual water could help cultivators improve their soul power, making Meng Jin very excited. He knew that his alchemy was not really at par because his soul power was not strong enough. Therefore, he decided to abandon the spiritual soil for the spiritual water.

Hearing this, Jiang Xu turned his head to look at his contracted beast. “Xiaolan, find one earth insect and come back here.”

“Buzz…” Xiaolan flew out of the cave directly and brought back two Earth Spirit Insect drones after a while.

As soon as the two Earth Spirit Insects flew in, they circled around the spiritual soil in the box. They were humming while circling the box.

“Master, the two of them said this is a low-grade spiritual soil. However, although the grade is low, it is good for them and can help them improve into a small realm.”

“Alright.” Hearing Xiaolan’s words, Jiang Xu nodded and looked at Meng Jin. “You only have that soil? Is there anything else?”

Meng Jin thought for a while. “Then, I can exchange a box of spiritual soil for a bottle of spiritual water.”

Hearing this, Jiang Xu thought for a while. He felt that this exchange was appropriate. The Earth Spirit Insects were only drinking spiritual water now, and their strength took a long time to improve. It would be better to exchange more of this spiritual soil for them. Moreover, the Earth Spirit Insects were not only one or two. Their number has now reached 8,000. Such a box of soil would just be enough for three Earth Spirit Insect drones to eat.

“Alright, a box of soil will give you a bottle of spiritual water, but the quality must be the same.” In fact, the bottle of spiritual water was a small bottle that contained five medicinal pills, so the amount of spiritual water in one bottle was not too much.

“Okay.” Nodding, Meng Jin reluctantly took out another two boxes of spiritual soil. Then, finally, he exchanged three bottles of spiritual water with Jiang Xu.

Holding the selected medicinal pill, Xu Qianshan came to Jiang Xu with some trepidation. “Ten pills, these are the spiritual plants. Will they be okay?”

Hearing this, Jiang Xu took the spiritual plants and checked them. After confirming with the Wood Spirit Insects that there was no problem with the plants, Jiang Xu waved his hand. “Next!”

Seeing Jiang Xu entertaining the other guests, Xu Qianshan stepped aside embarrassedly. Jiang Xu didn’t yell at him, which made Xu Qianshan secretly relieved. Yet, seeing Jiang Xu didn’t bother to look at him, Xu Qianshan felt a little lost.

“Have you traded?” Xu Qianya asked in a low voice when she walked to her brother’s side.

“Yeah, I have exchanged it.” Nodding, Xu Qianshan gave his sister the three medicinal pills he had exchanged.

Picking up a top-grade Golden Jade Pill, Jiang Dong was reluctant to put it back. So this was the Golden Jade Pill. Back then, Meng Shishi died fighting for the Golden Jade Lotus. Now, the lotus has been refined into a Golden Jade Pill by Liu Mufeng. With this pill, he could improve his chances of advancing to the third realm.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Dong walked in front of Jiang Xu with some embarrassment. He took out a jade box and placed it on the table.

After opening it, Jiang Xu checked it and found that it was thirteen second-grade ten-thousand-year-old spiritual plants. He looked at the spiritual plants and then at the Golden Jade Pill in Jiang Dong’s hand. Jiang Xu raised his eyebrows. “You’re going to use the second-level spiritual plants for the third-level medicinal pill, right?”

“Yeah, just exchange for this one.” Jiang Dong pointed at the Golden Jade Pill in his hand.

“Okay, you can exchange it. Next one.” He waved his hand. Jiang Xu didn’t embarrass Jiang Dong and directly exchanged the medicinal pill for the other party. Although the second-level ten-thousand-year-old spiritual plant was not as good as the third-level one, Mufeng said that the medicinal power of the millennium spiritual plant was more substantial. So although he and Mufeng couldn’t use these spiritual plants, those Spirit Insect princes and drones could use them.

After exchanging for the medicinal pill, Jiang Dong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Did he think Jiang Xu would embarrass him? Fortunately, Jiang Xu readily agreed.

“Brother, have you exchanged it?” Looking at her brother, Jiang Min asked in surprise and joy.

“Yeah!” Nodding, Jiang Dong smiled, carefully putting the pill into his storage ring.

Seeing his brother’s success, Jiang Min was also a little moved. But thinking about giving Jiang Xu the spiritual plants she had worked so hard to find, Jiang Min was still somewhat resistant. However, seeing that her partner had already exchanged the pill that could aid him in advancing to a small realm, she knew that if she didn’t do so, she would probably be left behind by Xu Qianshan. Biting her lip, Jiang Min reluctantly walked to the pill shelf and picked up a bottle of pills.
