The Master Of Spirit Plants - Chapter 559

A few days later, Xiao Xiaojin and Long Jingtian arrived at the pill shop and found no one there.

Xiao Xiaojin saw many cultivators left in the disappointment of not getting any pills.

He looked at the closed door in dismay.

Long Jingtian said, “Do you want to buy pills? This shop is closed. You can try another shop.”

Xiao Xiaojin stood at the door and said sullenly, “I’m not buying any pills. My parents ran the shop. It’s too late to see them. What a shame.”

Long Jingtian felt a mixture of disappointment and joy. He failed to figure out why he felt this way.

Long Jingtian asked in confusion, “How do you that your parents ran the shop?”

“Look at the shop name.”

Long Jingtian said, “Green Cloud Pill Shop. What’s so special?”

Xiao Xiaojin said firmly, “My parents were the elders of Green Cloud Immortal Sect in the Spiritual World and they had a high social status. The name of the shop is Green Cloud, and there is the pattern of Green Cloud Immortal Sect. I’m sure this shop has something to do with my parents.”

Long Jingtian said reflectively, “Oh, I see.”

“I’m so close!” The shop had been closed for a few days, and it was said that the owners had traveled to the Middle District.

Long Jingtian looked at Xiao Xiaojin and said, “Relax. Haven’t you got the clue now? It’s better than looking for them blindly.”

Xiao Xiaojin said in dismay, “You heard what the people said. The owners went to the Middle District. It’s got more difficult now.”

“You can go to the Middle District.”

Xiao Xiaojin said hesitantly, “Me? The cheapest ticket to the Middle District cost several million pieces of Immortal Crystal. I can’t afford it.”

His father could improve the cultivation with the help of the time cultivation room, while he only knew cooking. It would take him ages to save such a huge sum of money.

Long Jingtian said, “I have the money.”

Xiao Xiaojin said in surprise, “Are you going to give me your money?” The Dragon tribe was wealthy, but its members were mean. Long Jingtian had the dragon blood and he should be mean.

Long Jingtian quickly said, “I’ll lend you the money. You have to pay me back.”

Xiao Xiaojin let out a sigh of relief. “Oh, I see.”

Long Jingtian snorted softly and said sulkily, “What do you mean? Do you think I’ll give you the money? You are dreaming.”

Xiao Xiaojin was speechless. He was dreaming. For an instant just now, he thought Long Jingtian was nice. Well, he admitted that Long Jingtian was nice even though the latter had a sharp tongue.

…

Xu Muan stood on the flying ship and felt his temple throbbing.

Xiao Jinting held Xu Muan’s arm and moved him to the side, asking with concern, “What’s wrong? You don’t look well. Are you seasick?”

Xu Muan shook his head and said, “No. I have an inkling that I’m missing something after leaving the Lower District. I feel empty. I have a bad feeling.”

Xiao Jinting patted him on the shoulder and consoled, “Don’t think too much. You are not used to it, and you have a bad feeling.”

Xu Muan nodded. “The ship is flying across the district and the shock is so intense that I have illusions.”

Xiao Jinting asked, “I have pills to calm you down. Would you like some?”

Xu Muan shook his head and said, “No, we need to save the pills so we can sell them later.”

Xiao Jinting said indifferently, “It won’t make much difference.”

Xu Muan said, “I’m fine. By the way, is there anything wrong with Zhang He?”

Xiao Jinting glanced at the door and said, “He looks nice for the time being.” Zhang He was compliant with him, and Xiao Jinting had a bad feeling.

Zhang Tianyi was a four-grade alchemist. Xiao Jinting asked Zhang He to give him some books on alchemy, saying that he had to improve his alchemy so people wouldn’t suspect his identity. Zhang He took the order and gave him quite some books on alchemy.

Xu Muan asked, “How are the books that he gave you?”

Xiao Jinting said, “They are too difficult to understand. Perhaps I’m too stupid.”

Xu Muan said, “You are not stupid at all. Take your time. You will understand them sooner or later.”

Xiao Jinting smiled and said, “I know.”

In a luxurious room on the ship, Zhang He lay leisurely on a lounge chair, and a pretty female cultivator stood behind him, massaging his shoulders.

She snorted. “Mr. Zhang, you treat Xiao Jinting too well and give him whatever he wants. He thinks he is the young master and never hesitates to give you orders.”

Zhang He snorted. “You know nothing at all. This is what I want.”

The female cultivator said, “But you treat him too well. You gave him the books on alchemy.”

Zhang He said, “The books were written by a mad alchemist, who said that anyone who understood the Soul Pill Method in the books would make seven-grade pills. At first, many alchemists studied the books, but they didn’t improve at all, so the Soul Pill Method was discarded.”

The female cultivator covered her mouth and said, “What if he finds out?”

Zhang He sneered. “Xiao Jinting is a newcomer and knows nothing. It will be years later when he finds out. So what if he finds out? He’s not the real young master.”

The female cultivator smiled coyly, “You are right. He is only an impostor. Even if he knows that you have tricked him, he has to swallow his anger.”

Zhang He narrowed his eyes. Although he asked Xiao Jinting to put on the air, he felt bitter when the latter was arrogant to him. Therefore, he wanted to trick Xiao Jinting.

The female cultivator said, “I think Master has made a big fuss for Xiao Jinting.”

Zhang He squinted and said, “Master doesn’t do this for Xiao Jinting but for Tianyi. The eldest young master has an ordinary aptitude, and the other young masters can’t live for long. Tianyi has been secretly kept outside, but the lady knows about him.”
