Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan cleared the traces left by the battle and wandered around Cloud Prairie for a few months. They only showed up to pick up the disciples of Green Cloud Immortal Sect before the secret realm reopened.
After the secret realm opened, the Golden Core cultivators led the teams and went away. Xie Wanran didnât appear. The people from Spiritual Medicine Sect came to ask a few questions and left.
âLetâs go,â Xiao Jinting called out lightly, and the cultivators who survived boarded the ship one after another.
Several Foundation Establishment cultivators were gone. Death was common in the cultivation world, and the disciples didnât feel anything.
âAny gains?â Xiao Jinting looked at Xiao Xiaofu and felt that he looked more energetic than before.
Xiao Xiaofu nodded and said excitedly, âYes, Uncle.â
Xiao Jinting smiled, âLooks like you are satisfied. You are lucky.â
Xiao Xiaofu respectfully handed a bottle to Xiao Jinting, who took a look at it and said, âNice.â It was stone milk of a thousand years, which could detoxify the pill poison. If the quality was better, the Nascent Soul cultivators would be tempted.
âUncle, this is for you,â Xiao Xiaofu said.
Xiao Jinting shook his head, âNo, I canât take it. Thank you.â
âUncle, you are very kind to me, and I should repay you. I hope you could take it,â Xiao Xiaofu said with anticipation.
âIt is useful to me. Thank you, Xiaofu.â
Xiao Xiaofu blushed and said, âItâs nothing compared to what youâve done for me. Actually, Kai found it.â
Xiao Xiaofu rushed into the cabin.
Xu Muan looked at Xiao Xiaofu and said, âThe Ger and the son-in-law of your brother are good.â
âYeah.â Xiao Xiaofu seemed to like Xu Kai very much, who had a good character and aptitude. Xiao Jingfeng had said that Xiao Xiaofu used to feel inferior when facing Xu Kai, but now, he was more confident.
â¦
âHow is the wood?â asked Xu Muan.
Xiao Jinting knew that Xu Muan was asking about the Immortal Wood, but they could not say its name as it was too precious.
âThe spiritual soil works.â Xiao Jinting said.
âThatâs great,â Xu Muan said happily.
Xu Muan rubbed his forehead and thought to himself, âChen Xu is very concerned about Chen Lifengâs lost arm. Xiao Xiaodong has been inquiring about the Limb Regenerating Pill. Children care about their spouses.â
âWhatâs wrong?â Xiao Jinting looked at Xu Muan.
Xu Muan shook his head, âNothing. Your eldest son makes a fuss about the wood.â
âChen Xu has only one grandfather, and it is normal for Xiaodong to show concern. According to current speed, it will take several months.â Xie Wanran helped a lot, as there were many good things in her jade space.
âDoes it take that long?â Xu Muan asked.
âActually, we can speed up, but we have to spend some spiritual stones,â Xiao Jinting said.
Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jinting and said, âYou want to buy some Wood Essence.â
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, âYeah.â The Wood Essence was very rare and could speed up the growth of spiritual plants. Most Wood Essence was condensed from some millennial spiritual wood.
âIt is fine to spend some spiritual stones for Xiaodong,â Xiao Jinting said.
At the entrance of the Realm, Xiao Jinting had made a deal with Spiritual Treasure Pavilion. He exchanged the pills refined with demonic beast cores for some Wood Essence.
Normally, Xiao Jinting wouldnât be so anxious, but the Nascent Soul Exchange Conference was coming up. Although Chen Lifeng was a Nascent Soul, he was a free-lance cultivator. Now that he lost one arm, his strength was weakened. He might get in trouble if he went to the conference.
âHis injury might have something to do with us. I feel guilty,â said Xiao Jinting.
Xu Muan lowered his head. Chen Lifeng was injured by the Yin Ghost Sect back then. It was hard to say if they did that to retaliate.
â¦
After Xiao Jinting returned to Green Cloud Immortal Sect, Dongcheng Yang praised Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan and sent them away without giving them any rewards.
âMr. Qiu, whatâs wrong?â
âDo you know Xie Wanran is dead?â Qiu Yun stared at Xiao Jinting and asked.
âThings happen in an unpredictable way. When I went to the Cloud Prairie, I saw Xie Wanran. Did she die after she he came back? Did something happen? Is she trapped in some secret realm?â Xiao Jinting pretended to be surprised.
Gu Yun shook his head and gloated, âXie Wanranâs life light is turned off. She should be dead.â
Xiao Jinting didnât know what to say.
âActually, Iâve been thinking of killing her because Iâm sure that Grandfatherâs death has something to do with her,â said Chui Yun with a gloomy face.
Xiao Jinting listened quietly.
âYou must be curious about why I didnât do anything.â
Xiao Jinting smiled dryly, âYou are too kind to do that.â
Qiu Yun sneered and said, âCultivators fight against their fate. No oneâs hands are clean. Iâm not kind. You are joking. I didnât do anything because I didnât think I was her rival.â
Xiao Jinting thought to himself, âQiu Yun is sensitive. Xie Wanran was a Deity Transformation in her last life, and she was more powerful than anyone of this cultivation world.â
Even though the mighty cultivator died, she had left many resources behind. If Qiu Yun had underestimated Xie Wanran, he would have died. Xiao Jinting was lucky. Otherwise, he would not have been able to kill Xie Wanran.
âI didnât expect Xie Wanran to die so soon. Mr. Xiao, how do you think she died?â
Xiao Jinting smiled bitterly and spread out his hands, âMr. Qiu, Iâm not a know-it-all. How would I know about this?â
