Chapter 538: Chapter 538

He had seen the original shape of the ginseng, which looked like a huge turnip.

The ginseng shook its head. “Of course not. I have transformed. The turnips have no intelligence. Although they are more nutritious than me, they are not as smart as me.”

Xiao Jinting nodded in agreement. “Yeah. They are not as smart as you.”

The ginseng was exceptionally good at growing plants. After it woke up, Xiao Jinting coached it for a while in the mansion and then asked it to look after the plants.

The ginseng munched on the green turnip with gusto and said longingly, “The turnip is yummy. I guess the purple turnip will be nicer. I wish I could have a taste of it.”

Xiao Jinting stroked the ginseng’s head and said, “My son, you can’t eat the purple turnips. I need to exchange them for Immortal Crystal. The purple turnips taste almost the same as the green turnips. You taste the green turnips only. I have just arrived here and lack Immortal Crystal. Please understand.”

The ginseng looked at Xiao Jinting and asked, “Father, are you poor?”

Xiao Jinting nodded. “Yes, I’m very poor.”

The ginseng nodded kindly. “Okay. Since you are so wretched, I won’t eat the purple turnips.”

Xiao Jinting looked at the ginseng and thought, “The ginseng is sweet. If Flame is half as sweet as it, no, one third, no, one tenth, it will be great.”

Flame whispered in Xiao Jinting’s ear, “The ginseng is telling a lie. I bet it will turn to the purple turnips after he has had enough of the green ones. It’s greedy. You can’t believe him.”

Xiao Jinting’s face darkened. “Don’t measure the others with your yardstick. The ginseng is a good child. I don’t believe you.”

Flame said with disdain, “Is it good? You’ve made a mistake.”

Xiao Jinting was speechless.

…

“Hello, Mr. Xiao.”

“Good morning, Mr. Xiao.”

…

On the way, the cultivators greeted Xiao Jinting respectfully.

Flame picked its ear and said, “Toy Boy, you seem to have tamed them.”

Xiao Jinting said, “Yeah.” He was making his fame these years.

Qi Cheng went up to him. “Mr. Xiao.”

Xiao Jinting looked at Qi Cheng and smiled. “Qi Cheng, what’s up?”

Qi Cheng said timidly, “Mr. Xiao, I’d like to buy some Snow Skin Pill.”

Xiao Jinting smiled and said curiously, “Snow Skin Pills are for female cultivators? Why are you interested?” He crossed his arms and teased, “Have you fallen in love with someone?”

Qi Cheng scratched his head and said awkwardly, “The female cultivators in the Immortal World are proud. It’s not easy to win their affection.”

Xiao Jinting said with relief, “Really? Thankfully, I don’t like women.”

Qi Cheng wore a worried look. Xiao Jinting looked at him and said with a faint smile, “Don’t worry. Although I like men, I don’t mess with my colleagues. You are handsome, but I love someone else.”

Qi Cheng looked at Xiao Jinting and gave an awkward smile. “Mr. Xiao, you are joking. The man you love must be very excellent.”

Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “Yes, he’s excellent.” However, he didn’t know where Xu Muan was. There were cultivators in the Immortal World who worked on capturing loose cultivators ascended from the Spiritual World and made them do the job they didn’t like.

He was assigned to be the steward of the mansion, and he would be killed if he didn’t turn in enough purple turnips, but it was not a bad job.

Thinking of Xu Muan, Xiao Jinting couldn’t help feeling worried.

Qi Cheng noticed that Xiao Jinting’s mind was wandering, so he called him softly. Xiao Jinting came back to his sense.

Xiao Jinting asked, “What’s up?”

Qi Cheng shook his head and said, “The pills.”

Xiao Jinting said, “Oh, yeah. Come to my house when you have time.”

Qi Cheng said gratefully, “Thank you, Mr. Xiao.”

He left delightfully.

Xue Fei looked at Qi Cheng, who was excited, and asked, “Did you make it?”

Qi Cheng said with excitement, “Yes. I didn’t expect our steward to be a second-grade alchemist. It is not easy for a cultivator from the Spiritual World to be an alchemist.”

Xue Fei nodded and said, “You are lucky. You can earn a lot of Immortal Crystal by selling Snow Skin Pills.”

Qi Cheng nodded and said excitedly, “Yeah. After I sell the pills, I’ll have enough Immortal Crystal to advance to False Immortal.”
