Chapter 171: Chapter 171

Xiao Jingting glanced towards Wei Li and said, “Wei Li, I heard that you have been within the Immortal Sect for decades. How much do you know about the elders of the Immortal Sect?!”

Wei Li laughed awkwardly, scratched his head and said, “I don’t know much about it.”

“I heard that the Immortal Sect has a Golden Core elder with a single fire spiritual root. I wonder what he is like?” Xiao Jingting asked tentatively.

“That Golden core elder! That Golden Core elder is wonderful! It is said that during the battle between Immortal Sect and devil cultivators, he killed two Golden Core cultivators by himself, and his fire technique is extraordinary. It is said that this Golden Core elder is trying to advance to Nascent Soul, but no one knows if he will succeed. If he can, our Green Cloud Immortal Sect will have one more Nascent Soul elder.” Wei Li said.

“How many disciples does this elder have?” Xiao Jingting asked.

“Disciples? There seem to be more than a dozen. I heard that in recent years he accepted another who is now eight years old and already at the eight level of Qi Practice. That little disciple seems to be very good at refining. Always refining weapons for his sweetheart. It is said that he is very appreciated by the steward of the weapon refining hall.” Wei Li said.

Xiao Jingting froze for a moment and said with some surprise, “Refining weapons for his sweetheart?”

Wei Li nodded and said, “It’s not a secret that Xiao Xiaofan, the disciple of Elder Bai Lizheng, is in love with Dong Lin.”

Xiao Jingting, “…” He always felt that people in this world get married early but he never thought his son would fall in love so early! His son was only eight years old!

“There must be some mistake! He’s still so young.” Shouldn’t his son only like eating? Why would he fall in love so early?

Wei Li scratched the back of his head and said, “Senior, I am not very clear! It is all rumors. It is said that elder Bai’s disciple fell in love with Dong Lin at the first sight and has been sending things to Dong Lin all the time.”

Xiao Jingting frowned and felt a little depressed. “How old is Dong Lin?”

“He is 14 years old and at the eight level of Qi Practice.” Wei Li said.

Xiao Jingting rolled his eyes and thought: Already so old but only at the eight level of Qi Practice, but still wanting to pick up my son. He is daydreaming. Xiao Jingting completely ignored the fact that when he was fourteen years old, he was even more useless. Moreover, it was not Dong Lin who wanted to pick up Xiaofan but Xiaofan who wanted to pick Dong Lin.

“How is this Dong Li?” Xiao Jingting asked.

Wei Li shook his head and said implicitly, “I don’t know but I heard that Dong Lin is tall and talented, so many female cultivators are interested in him. Dong Lin also gave Xiao Xiaofan’s things to other female cultivators.”

Xiao Jingting, “…” He turned out to be a playboy. My stupid son, he was poor in judging people’s characters!

“Within the Immortal Sect, how is the treatment of the handymen disciples?!” Xiao Jingting said as if he was not interested.

Wei Li sighed and said, “Handyman disciples cannot be considered people of the Immortal Sect. They have to bear the burden of the Immortal Sect chores, but have no pay. They also can’t cultivate Immortal Sect techniques. They usually follow their master to do tasks but the income from the tasks belongs to the master.”

Xiao Jingting, “…” The handymen disciples are children raised by a stepmother!

There was no need to worry about his son’s cultivation resources. With the spiritual spring, he wouldn’t treat his own son badly. However, there were some troubles with techniques. Xiao Jingting also knew that his slow progress in cultivation had something to do with the lack of a proper cultivation technique.

“If the handyman disciple can’t be promoted, it is very difficult to have a bright future.” Wei Li concluded.

Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Is that so?!”

Xiao Jingting waited for those peach trees to grow in the garden for a few days before he began to implement grafting. Xiao Jingting cut off the branches of the Jasper Peach and moved them to other trees.

Knowing that Qiu Yun was very fond of these Jasper peaches, Xiao Jingting was very worried when he just started, that Qiu Yun would jump out to stop him. Xiao Jingting was anxious for two days, but after he found out that Qiu Yun didn’t pay any attention to him, he calmed down.

The grafted Jasper peach branches basically did not appear to be shriveled up and most of them grew stronger.

Xiao Jingting found that when the branches of Jasper peach grew, they might draw a large amount of nutrients from the trunk. Because trees with branches of Jasper peach were transplanted, the main tree trunk became thinner and thinner day by day. But in contrast, the transplanted Jasper peach became a lot bigger.

Because these peach trees were related to whether he could stay in the Green Cloud Immortal Sect or not, Xiao Jingting’s care was very dedicated.

“What are you doing?” After Xiao Jingting’s grafting technique had been implemented for a week, Qiu Yun finally appeared.

“I’m trying to graft. The main body of this Jasper peach tree is too thin to provide nutrients for the branches. So I transplanted the branches to other trees to see the effect.” Xiao Jingting explained.

Qiu Yun looked at the transplanted branches that grew good Jasper Peaches and his eyes flashed with blazing light as he said, “It looks like it’s growing well!”

Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes!”

“Will the medicinal properties of the Jasper Peach grown in this way change?” Qiu Yun asked.

Xiao Jingting shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”

Qiu Yun’s expression changed as he said, “Do a good job and I won’t treat you poorly.”

Qiu Yun threw a spatial ring to Xiao Jingting. Xiao Jingting’s soul power swept into the spatial ring and he couldn’t help but feel stunned for a moment. There were clearly 5000 spirit stones inside this ring. According to rumors, Qiu Yun was not only famous for his eccentric temper but also for his wealth. He was a local tycoon! Xiao Jingting suddenly felt that being assigned to this medicine garden was not a bad thing.
