Rong Jiaojiao nodded: "Really!"
"Then I really want to try it!"
Rong Jiaojiao smiled and waved, "Goodbye, Brother Hua!"
"goodbye!"
Rong Zhigao and his comrades walked out together, distributing the spiritual fruits to them as they went.
After distributing the food, he said to everyone, "Xie Yuncheng and I have something to do, everyone go eat first!"
Knowing they had something to do, the others didn't linger. Each of them took two spirit fruits and said goodbye to Rong Jiaojiao.
Rong Zhigao asked Xie Yuncheng, "Did you bring your ancient sword?"
"I brought it, but it's inconvenient for me to bring my ancient sword in. My brother is waiting for me at the guesthouse."
"So what do we think?"
Xie Yuncheng smiled and said, "I have already asked the captain for permission. Training is over and I can go out for three hours, so I can go out now."
"Okay, I'll go out now."
Xie Yuncheng exclaimed with delight, "You mean the person watching the sword is here too?"
Rong Zhigao looked at his younger sister: "She's far away, yet right before my eyes!"
Xie Yuncheng patted Rong Zhigao: "You should have said earlier that our little sister wanted it, then I would have just given it to her directly, why bother with the exchange?"
Rong Jiaojiao shook her head: "Brother Xie, I can't accept it if you really give it to me. If it's really an ancient sword, it might become priceless in the future!"
Xie Yuncheng laughed and said, "I don't know what material that ancient sword is made of. The blade is not big, but it is very heavy. My great-aunt got it when she was doing feng shui for someone in her early years. I liked it when I saw it, so I spent money with her to buy it for my collection."
Rong Jiaojiao listened and felt that it probably wasn't a good sword, otherwise someone who knew feng shui wouldn't sell it.
I didn't have much hope, but since they had already delivered it, I still had to go and see it.
She said, "If I don't like it, I can sell the ginseng to you later."
Xie Yuncheng was overjoyed: "Thank you, little sister!"
Rong Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Brother Xie, you're welcome!"
The three of them quickly arrived at the guesthouse. Xie Yuncheng said, "My brother is on the second floor. Let's go up."
Rong Zhigao nodded: "My parents are here too, I'll invite them to go see it together."
Rong Lianhu's door was not closed, and the three of them were seen as soon as they went up to the second floor.
Zi Ling immediately jumped onto Rong Jiaojiao's shoulder and sat down.
The couple stood up, and Fu Ya said, "You're back. Jiao Jiao must be hungry. Let's go eat."
Rong Jiaojiao shook her head: "Mom, I'm not hungry yet. This is Xie Yuncheng, the comrade-in-arms that my brother mentioned. We would like to invite you and Dad to see his ancient sword."
The two came out and greeted each other. Rong Lianhu said, "Hurry up and go take a look, then we can go eat!"
Everyone nodded, and Xie Yuncheng led the way to the two rooms separated by two doors at the back.
He raised his hand and knocked, and a few seconds later the door opened from the inside.
A tall, thin, and kind-looking middle-aged man stood inside the door. Upon seeing Xie Yuncheng and the man behind him, he nodded and said, "Please come in!"
He stepped aside, let everyone in, and then closed the door.
Turning to Xie Yuncheng, Xie Yuncheng introduced, "Brother, this is my comrade-in-arms and his family. They are the ones who want to see the ancient sword."
He then introduced Rong Zhigao: "This is my second brother, Xie Yunxiao."
Xie Yunxiao said somewhat embarrassedly, "This guesthouse is simple, so please make do and sit on the beds."
Everyone nodded and sat down on the beds.
Xie Yunxiao took out an antique wooden box from under the bed, placed it on the ground, and opened it.
Inside the wooden box lay an ancient sword, its scabbard covered with intricate patterns, giving it a very rustic appearance.
Xie Yuncheng went up and took out the sword. He carefully drew the sword halfway out, and the blade gleamed with a cold light. A chilling sword aura rushed towards him.
He handed the sword to Rong Jiaojiao, who took it and gently stroked the blade. Her divine sense stirred slightly, and she immediately sensed the spiritual power contained within the sword.
Rong Jiaojiao nodded. It was indeed a magic artifact, but Rong Jiaojiao had never handled magic artifacts before and didn't know what grade it was.
But the longing conveyed by the secret realm made Rong Jiaojiao realize that the quality of this magical artifact must be quite high.
She said, "This is indeed a fine sword. I agree to exchange it for a hundred-year-old ginseng. However, the ginseng is fresh and has not been processed yet. I wonder if Brother Xie would be willing to exchange it?"
Xie Yuncheng immediately nodded: "Yes, we are willing!"
Rong Jiaojiao reminded him, "Let me make this clear first, this sword might be very valuable in the future. Brother Xie, are you sure you want to exchange it?" She looked at Xie Yuncheng with a serious expression.
Xie Yuncheng smiled and said, "Little sister, don't worry. This sword is just a collectible for me. As for the ginseng, it's a life-saving medicine for me. We're both getting what we need, and I won't go back on my word."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded: "Then wait here, I'll go get the ginseng right away."
He got up and went out. After a while, he came back with a fresh ginseng. However, apart from the whole ginseng and roots, it was clean and free of any stems, leaves, or soil.
She handed the ginseng to Xie Yuncheng: "This ginseng is over a hundred years old, and it contains more spiritual energy than ordinary ginseng. Tell the doctor to use it with caution when administering the medicine."
Xie Yuncheng's eyes were filled with surprise upon hearing Rong Jiaojiao's words.
He took the ginseng, examined it carefully, and, feeling the rich aroma of the medicinal herbs, said gratefully, "Thank you, little sister."
Rong Jiaojiao shook her head: "You're welcome. I hope the ginseng will be of use to you."
After thinking about it, I realized that this was a magical artifact after all. If I were to trade it with a cultivator, and if I were to encounter someone with a conscience, I would be willing to trade it for not just one hundred-year-old ginseng, but even five or eight.
So he asked, "I wonder what illness Grandma Xie has?"
Xie Yunxiao sighed and replied, "It's just that I'm getting old, and my various bodily functions are declining."
Upon hearing this, Rong Jiaojiao took out a porcelain bottle: "This contains ten pills for strengthening the body's foundation. If you trust me, you can try them."
Xie Yunxiao and Xie Yuncheng were both stunned when they heard Rong Jiaojiao's words.
Xie Yunxiao looked at Rong Jiaojiao in disbelief: "Little sister, what's wrong with you...?"
Rong Jiaojiao smiled slightly: "Brother Xie, I refined this pill myself. It has a very good effect on regulating bodily functions. Since you are willing to exchange the ancient sword for ginseng, I also hope that Grandma Xie can recover soon. You can take this pill. If you trust it, you can give it a try."
Xie Yunxiao took the porcelain bottle, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes: "Thank you!"
Having received the ginseng, Xie Yunxiao didn't want to stay a moment longer. He stood up and said, "I'm sorry everyone, I'm worried about my elders at home, so I won't stay any longer." He took out some money and handed it to Xie Yuncheng: "Xiaocheng, take these money and thank the little sister and Comrade Rong's family for me."
Xie Yuncheng took the money and nodded, saying, "Brother, I know what to do. Go back and tell Grandma to eat well. I'll go back to see her when I have time off."
"Know!"
After saying that, he grabbed his things and left in a hurry.
