Purple Mansion Inheritance
"Ye Dao... Thank you, Senior Ye!" Xu Xiuqing subconsciously wanted to call him Fellow Daoist, but after feeling Ye Jingcheng's spiritual power, she quickly changed her address.
She lowered her head, revealing only the upper half of her delicate face.
Just like back then in Taihang Marketplace, it remains a vivid memory.
However, there was a scar the length of a fingernail on his chin.
It's not ugly, but it's definitely not good-looking either.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, it's been a long time." Ye Jingcheng finished disposing of the old man's corpse, put the Spirit Boat into his Storage Bag, and then looked at the latter.
"Senior Ye's Divine Abilities have greatly improved, while I remain unchanged. I'm afraid I've made you laugh at me."
"I see you're also heading to the market. Why don't we find a place to have some spiritual tea?" Ye Jingcheng suggested.
Xu Xiuqing wanted to refuse, but then she saw Ye Jingcheng take out a second-tier Spirit Boat. Although this Spirit Boat was not the Xuan Ying Boat, it was still a second-tier low-grade boat and was extremely fast.
Seeing Ye Jingcheng take out the Spirit Boat, Xu Xiuqing nodded and boarded Spirit Boat.
They spoke very little, as did Ye Jingcheng.
"Senior Ye, is Xiao Jin alright?" After a long while, seeing that the city gate was approaching, Xu Xiuqing finally managed to squeeze out a few words.
"Fortunately, it's quite miraculous now." Ye Jingcheng nodded, turning to look at the latter. The other's face still looked somewhat unnatural; he wasn't sure if it was due to the difference in their cultivation levels, or something else entirely.
"If you don't have a good way out recently, you can come and help out at my Ye Family's shop." As he spoke, they arrived at the city gate.
Ye Jingcheng jumped off the Spirit Boat first, followed by Xu Xiuqing.
Finally, as she landed before the city gate, she touched her chin, and the scar, like a magical Law Artifact, fell off. At the same time, Xu Xiuqing's face seemed to glow even brighter, and her features became more refined.
"You can continue to hide it," Ye Jingcheng said. With his Divine Sense, he had naturally seen through Xu Xiuqing's trick long ago, but since the other party did not want to reveal it, he would not expose it.
Xu Xiuqing smiled but did not reply.
Ye Jingcheng handed over the Spirit Stones, then looked at Xu Xiuqing:
"Zhong Family Restaurant is pretty good, want to give it a try?"
"Okay!" Xu Xiuqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Passing through the alleys and lanes of the South District, you enter the North District, where Zhong Family Restaurant is located.
The five-story restaurant, adorned with red lanterns and painted wood in shades of red, gives the entire building a unique character.
In front of the restaurant, the beautiful female cultivator was still standing aside as a waitress, while Ye Jingcheng skillfully led Xu Xiuqing up to the second floor.
We chose the same private room as last time.
After serving a simple cup of spiritual tea, Ye Jingcheng inquired about Xu Xiuqing's recent situation.
How have things been lately?
"It's alright, we just need to work hard to reach the Foundation Establishment now and earn some Foundation Establishment a year from now," Xu Xiuqing said.
Ye Jingcheng thought Xu Xiuqing would join the sect. Judging from this trend, it was clear that the latter either gave up or lacked the talent.
But all things considered, once you reach the ninth level of Qi Refining, you're not far from Foundation Establishment.
"You can visit Chu-Ye Pavilion when you have time," Ye Jingcheng said, raising his teacup to Xu Xiuqing.
Xu Xiuqing also raised her glass, and the two seemed to be drinking together.
The tea had a very faint aroma; Ye Jingcheng had specifically requested it.
After drinking the tea, Ye Jingcheng didn't know what to say, and Xu Xiuqing didn't speak either. The two sat for a long time as if savoring tea, and finally, surprisingly, they smiled at each other.
"I still want to thank Senior Ye for saving my life. This old man had been coveting a treasure I possessed and had been following me for ten years," Xu Xiuqing said.
"After leaving Taihang Commandery, I found the cave abode of a Purple Mansion cultivator..." Xu Xiuqing briefly recounted her experiences over the years.
Ye Jingcheng listened with a sense of longing, but he was Lineage cultivator while the latter was Rogue Cultivator, so their paths were destined to be different.
Ye Jingcheng also understood why Xu Xiuqing had been hunted down for so long, from the seventh level of Qi Refining to the ninth level.
The old man continued his relentless pursuit.
Finally, he joined forces with several friends to plan an ambush on Xu Xiuqing, but she escaped because the latter had a breakthrough Formation-Breaking Talisman in her inheritance.
"Senior Ye, these gifts are the list I currently have. I hope you can take a look at them and take them if you need them." Xu Xiuqing took out a Storage Bag and handed it to Ye Jingcheng.
Ye Jingcheng shook his head and refused. He saved Xu Xiuqing not for any gift.
However, the latter's eyes were resolute, and he intended to kneel down directly. Ye Jingcheng was so frightened that he used his spiritual magic to help the latter up.
"Then I'll choose one." Ye Jingcheng took the Storage Bag.
The Storage Bag was not bound to anyone, so Ye Jingcheng could see it at a glance. He noticed that there were only four treasures inside.
To his surprise, there was also a Talisman Treasure inside, on which was engraved a small cyan pagoda.
The tower has seven stories and looks quite mysterious.
From this perspective, Xu Xiuqing did indeed receive the inheritance of a Purple Mansion cultivator.
However, what is even more commendable is that Xu Xiuqing was willing to offer up this Talisman Treasure.
Ye Jingcheng naturally wouldn't take the Talisman Treasure at this moment, so he looked at the remaining treasures.
One of them was an Azure Rainbow Dharma Sword. As soon as Ye Jingcheng probed it with his Divine Sense, he felt a repulsive force that expelled it.
Ye Jingcheng paused for a moment. The only thing that could repel his Divine Sense was a magical Law Treasure that needed to be recognized and refined by its master.
Ye Jingcheng glanced at Xu Xiuqing again.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, this is too precious!"
"Senior Ye is joking. How could your life be more precious than mine?" Xu Xiuqing shook her head.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng could only manage a wry smile before continuing to examine the Storage Bag. He recognized the remaining two items: one was a second-tier mithril black rock, which happened to be a particularly precious type of Shi Fang used to awaken Stone Spirit.
The remaining item was a second-tier Heavenly Spirit Fruit.
This spiritual fruit is also one of the main ingredients in the Foundation Establishment Pill.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, let this act of saving your life repay the favor you owed us for the Golden-Scaled Beast last time," Ye Jingcheng said.
The least valuable item here is the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, which still costs at least one or two thousand Spirit Stones.
For some families who possess the Foundation Establishment Elixir formula, a further premium of 30% to 40% is acceptable.
"Then how can my grandfather's life be used to offset this? Senior Ye, there's no need to refuse. I value my own life quite a bit. If you think highly of me, then choose two things."
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng also took off the Mithril Mystic Rock. This Mystic Rock was like metal, but it was very solid and belonged to the middle grade of the second tier of Spirit Stones.
"This is for you too, Senior Ye!" Seeing that Ye Jingcheng had only taken out a Xuan Yan, Xu Xiuqing took out the Talisman Treasure again.
"No, this treasure, if you don't have enough Foundation Establishment, then come and trade with me!" Ye Jingcheng shook his head.
These Talisman Treasure are no ordinary items; moreover, this time, the Lineage will provide him with both Talisman Treasure and Law Treasure.
There's no need for Xu Xiuqing's skills.
A single Talisman Treasure costs at least tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, especially a tower-type one, where hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones are common.
