Xiao Dong looked at Jian Yi’s test roulette, hesitated for a moment, and said, “Senior, can I give it a try?”
Jian Yi nodded and said, “Of course you can.”
Xiao Dong placed his hand on the array plate, and the array plate displayed blue and green columns of light.
Jian Yi placed his hand on the array plate, showing a hint of hesitation. “Your talent is not bad, but if you want to enter the Qingyun Immortal Sect, you still have some way to go.”
Xiao Dong nodded, his expression unchanged.
Jian Yi sighed inwardly, regretting a bit. Xiao Dong’s talent was actually quite good, barely meeting the admission standards of the Immortal Sect. However, the Immortal Sect had already filled its quota of ten spots. Bringing back one more person was already a stretch. Bringing back two more people might lead to prejudice from other senior brothers responsible for admitting disciples. Jian Yi didn’t want to unnecessarily invite trouble.
Seeing Jian Yi looking at him eagerly, Xiao Fan hid behind Xiao Jingting, somewhat timidly asking, “Daddy, what is he thinking?”
Xiao Jingting sighed lightly and said, “The senior said he wants to take you to the Qingyun Immortal Sect, to make you a powerful figure who can command the wind and rain, capable of anything.”
Xiao Fan hurriedly shook his head and said, “I don’t want to go to the Qingyun Immortal Sect. I don’t want to cultivate.”
Xiao Jingting looked at Xiao Fan, feeling helpless. The Ouyang family had spared no effort to send their family members to the immortal sects, and now they were presented with a golden opportunity, yet his own son was unwilling.
“Child, if you become a Golden Core ancestor, you can live for five hundred years,” Jian Yi said with a smile.
Xiao Fan rolled on the ground, complaining, “But I won’t be able to eat well. What’s the use of living so long?”
Xiao Jingting looked at Xiao Fan, saying, “XiaoFan, your mother, your brother, and I have inferior talents. We can only live for around a hundred years. If you succeed, you can help us live longer. “
Xiao Fan blinked, a hint of contemplation on his face.
Jian Yi looked at Xiao Fan, urging him, “Yes! Child, your parents and brother don’t have Foundation Building Pills. It’s difficult for them to cultivate. Once you enter the sect and make achievements, the sect will reward you with Foundation Building Pills. If you have extra ones, you can give them to others, giving your parents a chance to cultivate.”
Although Jian Yi said this verbally, he felt somewhat doubtful inside. Xiao Fan was still young and forgetful. Once he entered the sect and was guided by the elders, his feelings towards his family would diminish. The reason why the sect did not accept older children was mainly because younger children had fewer impressions of their families. Growing up in the sect, their feelings towards the sect would far outweigh those towards their families.
For someone like Xiao Fan, who came from a humble background but had outstanding talent, he would mostly identify himself as a disciple of the sect when he grew up, rarely mentioning his own family. This was not surprising; what was there to boast about regarding a family that lagged behind?
Xiao Fan gritted his teeth, a struggling expression on his face.
Xiao Jingting looked at Xiao Fan’s expression, feeling distressed.
Xiao Fan looked at Jian Yi for a long time before finally saying, “I want to go to the sect. I want to earn many Foundation Building Pills.”
Jian Yi nodded, smiled, and said, “Child, when you grow up, you’ll realize how right your decision was today.”
Xiao Fan kept a straight face, not saying a word. Xiao Jingting suddenly felt that his second son had grown up quite a bit.
“Senior, when will you go to the sect?” Xiao Jingting asked.
Jian Yi contemplated for a moment and said, “In five days.”
Xiao Jingting hesitated for a moment and said, “I want to keep my son for a few more days and make him some delicious food. Is that okay?”
When Xiao Fan heard Xiao Jingting’s words, a hint of joy appeared on his face.
Jian Yi looked at Xiao Fan’s expression, nodded, and said, “Of course.”
In the next five days, Xiao Jingting did nothing but make various delicious dishes for Xiao Fan. Perhaps knowing that he was about to leave his parents, Xiao Fan, who usually had a good appetite, suddenly lost his appetite. Xiao Jingting made a lot of snacks that could be preserved.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye. Xiao Jingting did everything he could to hold back his reluctance, but Jian Yi arrived on time and took Xiao Fan away.
…
As Jian Yi took Xiao Fan onto the Qingyun Immortal Sect’s flying ship, Ouyang Jinyue couldn’t help but be stunned.
“Senior Brother Jian, all ten spots are filled. Why did you bring another child?” Liu Yicai said displeasedly.
“This child has a single spiritual root. I think the elders of the sect should be able to accommodate that,” Jian Yi said calmly.
Jian Yi’s words were light, but they shocked everyone on the divine ship.
“Senior Brother Jian, are you sure?” Liu Yicai frowned.
Jian Yi nodded and said confidently, “I’m sure. I’ve verified it several times. He does indeed have a single spiritual root.”
“Congratulations, Senior Brother Jian. I didn’t expect you to find such a peerless genius,” Liu Yicai said sarcastically with a stiff face.
Jian Yi stroked his beard, smiling contentedly, “I’m lucky to have accidentally encountered such a child, who happens to have a single spiritual root.”
The other people on the flying ship looked at Jian Yi with strange expressions. Although there were many gifts from the major families in the barren land, compared to the rewards of the sect, they were nothing.
Ouyang Jinyue walked over and grabbed Xiao Fan’s arm, saying, “When did you participate in the selection? I didn’t know!”
Xiao Fan shook his head and said, “I don’t know either! He came to me himself. I didn’t find him!”
Ouyang Jinyue nodded and said, “I see! Anyway, we’ll be fellow disciples from now on.”
Xiao Fan forced a smile and said, “I miss Daddy.”
Ouyang Jinyue rolled her eyes and said, “Brat.”
Xiao Fan’s arrival made the other children on the flying ship somewhat repelled. These children from the major families vaguely felt that Xiao Fan’s talent far exceeded theirs, and their thoughts varied.
…
Inside the cave.
The Xiao family sat together for a meal, and Xu Mu’an looked at the empty seat next to Xiao Dong, sighing softly.
Xiao Jingting patted Xu Mu’an’s shoulder and said, “It’s okay. Our son has gone to the immortal sect to learn advanced spells, not to a dangerous place. Don’t worry too much.”
Xu Mu’an shook his head and said, “Although that’s the case, I still can’t help but worry!”
If Xiao Fan were as shrewd as Xiao Dong, it would be fine. Unfortunately, Xiao Fan’s mental strength was even weaker than an average person’s.
“Don’t worry. The man said that our son has excellent talent, and once he enters the sect, he will receive special training. He’s joining the Qingyun Immortal Sect! How many people would break their heads to get this opportunity!” Xiao Jingting comforted.
Xu Mu’an nodded and said, “I know.”
The people of the Qingyun Immortal Sect only accepted disciples once every ten years. They didn’t know when they would see Xiao Fan again.
After Xiao Fan left, Star City suddenly became much quieter.
“Let’s practice diligently. When we reach Foundation Building, we can think of a way to enter the territory of the Qingyun Immortal Sect.” Xiao Jingting said.
Xu Mu’an nodded solemnly and said, “Yes, we must improve our cultivation quickly. Otherwise, by the time we see Xiao Fan again, his cultivation might have already surpassed mine.”
Xiao Jingting rubbed Xiao Dong’s head and said, “Dong’er, you have to practice hard too. When we meet again next time, you can compare with Xiao Fan.”
Xiao Dong nodded and said, “I will work hard.”
Xiao Jingting pondered for a moment and said, “We have to think of a way to make some money.”
Now that Xiao Fan was gone, it was almost impossible to rely on gambling on stones to get rich.
Previously, Xiao Jingting had borrowed a roulette from a Foundation Building expert to test his talent. He had three attributes: wood, water, and earth. According to the expert, the chance of using a Foundation Building Pill with three spiritual roots was only one in ten. For those with two spiritual roots, there was a one in three chance. Since he had three spiritual roots, he had to prepare more Foundation Building Pills.
Xu Mu’an had fire and gold attributes, Xiao Dong had wood and water attributes, and their family had the worst talents. Although Xiao Jingting had long suspected that his talent might not be good, being confirmed still felt somewhat unpleasant.
“I found that there are many alchemists in Star City. There is a place to consign elixirs. After selling the elixirs, spiritual stones will be automatically credited. Alchemists don’t even need to show their faces.” Xu Mu’an said.
Xiao Jingting widened his eyes and said, “Is that so?”
Xu Mu’an nodded and said, “Yes.” He had already planned to sell elixirs. However, Xiao Fan made money faster by gambling on stones. Unexpectedly…
In order to quickly obtain spiritual stones, Xiao Jingting sold many pills.
Time flies. Xiao Jingting and Xu Mu’an stayed in Star City for nearly half a year, and after half a year, both of them reached the peak of the Foundation Building stage.
…
“Young Master Xiao, it seems that every time we meet, you surprise me,” Ouyang Mingyue looked at Xiao Jingting with a complicated expression.
After the Qingyun Immortal Sect accepted disciples, Ouyang Mingyue left Star City. It was not easy to live in Star City, and ordinary people couldn’t afford it.
What surprised Ouyang Mingyue was that Xiao Jingting had stayed in Star City with Xiao Dong and Xiao Jin for half a year. Moreover, when they met again after half a year, Xiao Jingting had already reached the peak of the Foundation Building stage.
Although Xiao Fan was the last one to be taken away by Jian Yi, the news still reached the Ouyang family, and they immediately decided to befriend Xiao Jingting.
Xiao Jingting smiled and said, “Miss Ouyang is too kind. Is Miss Ouyang here to participate in the auction in Star City?”
Ouyang Mingyue nodded and said, “Yes, Xiao Young Master has already reached the ninth level of Foundation Building. This time, he must be here for Foundation Building Pills, right?”
Xiao Jingting smiled bitterly and said, “I would like to, but unfortunately, I don’t have the money.”
Ouyang Mingyue smiled and said, “Xiao Young Master, you really know how to joke.”
“I’m not joking. I really don’t have any money!” Xiao Jingting spread his hands and said.
The auction held in Star City this time had three Foundation Building Pills for sale. Foundation Building Pills were extremely attractive, attracting countless experts in an instant. Xiao Jingting was almost certain that there would be a fierce competition during the bidding.
Xiao Jingting didn’t come for the Foundation Building Pills but for the various spirit herbs at the auction.
After contacting various spirit herbs over the past six months, Xiao Jingting’s spatial jade pendant unexpectedly automatically produced several different formulas for Foundation Building Pills. Xiao Jingting was overjoyed.
Some of the spirit herbs needed to refine Foundation Building Pills were not only precious but also had strict requirements for their age.
Age was not a problem for Xiao Jingting, as he had the spatial jade pendant. As long as he had enough spiritual stones, he could produce enough spirit herbs.
Both he and Xu Mu’an were good at alchemy. By selling elixirs, they earned a considerable number of spiritual stones.
Sometimes, Xiao Jingting would think that if he had known about selling elixirs to earn money so quickly, he wouldn’t have to take Xiao Fan out to show his face.
Sometimes, Xiao Jingting would think that taking Xiao Fan out was also good. The Qingyun Immortal Sect was a good place! Only there could Xiao Fan have a great future.
Ouyang Mingyue glanced at Xu Mu’an and said, “Xiao Young Master has made rapid progress!”
Ouyang Mingyue secretly thought: When I saw Xu Mu’an last time, he and Xiao Jingting were at the eighth and seventh levels of Foundation Building, respectively. However, when she sees them again this time, She is still at the eighth level, but both of them have reached the ninth level of Foundation Building.
Ouyang Mingyue also suspected the reason why their cultivation progressed so rapidly, but she attributed it to the Foundation Building expert Jian Yi who left. She believed that when Jian Yi left, he must have given Xiao Jingting and his wife some benefits.
“Miss Ouyang is too kind,” Xu Mu’an said indifferently.
