Chapter 380
Yuan Jing spent half a year to improve his cultivation to the ninth level of Qi Refining, just one step away from building a foundation. But obviously this mortal world is not a good place to build a foundation, so he wants to leave the Zuo family and find a way to enter the world of immortal cultivation. Also, before leaving, he wants to find out who on the side of Chen State has attacked the Zuo family. He cannot find the vicious female supporting role in the world of immortal cultivation to take revenge for the time being, so can't he take action against these people?
So after leaving the Zuo family, he returned to Wuqing Town, Chen Guo, where he had stayed half a year ago.
Wuqing Town of Chen State is much more prosperous than the small town where the Zuo family is now. Although the Zuo family is a wealthy family in the town, half a year has passed and not many people still care about the Zuo family. The extermination of the Zuo family has not affected the lives of the residents in the town.
Yuan Jing stayed in a restaurant and had his meal. At the same time, he searched the entire town with his spiritual sense, but did not find any cultivator. It was obvious that the people who attacked the Zuo family were not from Wuqing Town. In his opinion, they were most likely from the capital of the State of Chen. However, people in a certain place might know something about the situation.
After leaving the restaurant, everyone lost sight of this person, but no one paid too much attention to him, as if he was an insignificant person. They could completely forget his appearance as soon as they turned around, and could not remember anything related to this guest.
When he reappeared, Yuan Jing was already in the town's government office. Who else knew the situation half a year ago better than the officials in this government office?
He did not interrogate these people, but directly used the method of soul searching. No matter how high his official position was, when he searched the fifth person, he finally found a clue. Half a year ago, a group of special guests came to Wuqing Town and showed a token to the mayor of the town, asking the mayor to cooperate with their actions.
It was a token belonging to Prince Jing, the capital of the State of Chen. Prince Jing was a powerful prince of the State of Chen. Even the emperor of Chen respected Prince Jing very much.
Yuan Jing loosened his hand. Those whose souls were searched would at most think that they had just had a dream and would not know of his arrival or what was found out.
Yuan Jing looked in the direction of the capital, the Prince Jing's Mansion. It seemed that someone in the Prince Jing's Mansion was practicing in the Taiyi Sect, where the vicious female supporting character and the original body's biological father were. That's why Taiyi Sect sent a message back asking the Prince Jing's Mansion for help. Because the vicious female supporting character has a high status in Taiyi Sect, and her biological father is an elder of Taiyi Sect, her disciples would not rush to please her with just a hint. As for an ordinary family in the mortal world, not to mention these cultivators, even the Prince Jing's Mansion of Chen State would not take it seriously.
When leaving Wuqing Town, Yuan Jing went to take a look at the ruins of the Zuo family. He did not show up, but secretly picked up the corpses that were exposed outside and buried them together in the ancestral tomb of the Zuo family. There were a total of eighty-six skeletons. A fire killed eighty-six people in the Zuo family. Whether it was the Jingjun Prince's Mansion or the vicious female supporting role of Taiyi Sect, were they moved at all?
No, they won't. The Prince Jing's Mansion will only be happy because they helped the daughter of the Taiyi Sect's elder to do this. Once the daughter is happy, it is possible that the people from the Prince Jing's Mansion will enter the eyes of the elder. The vicious female supporting role will also be happy because she helped the person she loved to avoid future troubles. There is a difference between immortals and mortals, and those mortals should not think of affecting the lawyer's practice.
How could she accept the fact that her lawyer brother had been married and had children in his early years? Therefore, all those people had to die, and even the traces of their existence had to be erased.
Yuan Jing was very unhappy with the condescending attitude of these immortal cultivators towards mortals. They always talked about the difference between immortals and mortals, but they didn't know that they also came from mortals. Without mortals, where would the immortal cultivators come from?
In their eyes, what difference is there between eighty-six human lives and those of ants? Even if the number were multiplied several times, it would not sway them at all.
That was the father. When he embarked on the path of cultivating immortality, did he ever think about his wife, children and those tribesmen who stayed at home? Although those tribesmen were not killed directly by him, they died indirectly because of him. But how did he treat the culprit who killed the entire Zuo family? Later, it was because the vicious female supporting role attacked his beloved disciple that he was furious and sent the vicious female supporting role back to the mortal world.
Five days later, Yuan Jing arrived at the capital of the State of Chen. Perhaps because it relied on the world of immortal cultivation, this capital was more prosperous and bustling than the capital of the ancient world that Yuan Jing had experienced. Moreover, Yuan Jing discovered that there were several cultivators in this capital. Of course, their strength was very weak. If they had enough strength, who would be willing to stay in this mortal world with thin spiritual energy and make no progress?
Sanwei squatted on Yuan Jing's shoulder holding his tail, looking around curiously. It was only after following Yuan Jing that it broadened its horizons. You know, it had always stayed in the secret realm, and the only people it came into contact with were disciples who entered the secret realm for trials. How could it have ever seen the outside world?
The world before was already very lively, and the world now is even more of a world of cultivation like the Xuankun Continent where it originally lived. Even though it is still in the mortal world, it is very interested in it.
Smelling the aroma of food and wine wafting from the restaurant not far away, Sanwei chirped a few times. Yuan Jing flicked its head in amusement and said, "I know, you little foodie. I'll take you in for a meal."
After entering the restaurant, he casually found a seat in the lobby and asked the waiter to bring some signature dishes. After the dishes were served, he and Sanwei started to eat separately, which attracted curious glances from other guests in the restaurant. A fox was so smart that it could eat and drink like a human. It must be not an ordinary animal.
Yuan Jing was not afraid of attracting other people's attention. Although he had not yet established his foundation, there were few opponents who could be his opponents in this mortal world. What's more, Sanwei was even stronger. Here he didn't need to be restricted or bound by anything, so there was no need to hide.
While they were eating, a few more guests came into the restaurant. They were all teenage boys and girls. One could tell from their attire that they were either rich or noble. The shopkeeper’s face was full of smiles and he came forward to serve them attentively.
"See? The one in the middle is the young princess of Prince Jing's mansion. Her status in our Chen Kingdom is no lower than those princesses. The one following her is the Sixteenth Princess."
"I know that Prince Jing's Mansion has produced several immortals. I heard that this young prince also has the qualifications to become an immortal. She will wait for the immortal to come and recruit disciples next year. She will follow him to the other side of the Hopeless Sea to cultivate immortality."
"No wonder even this princess has to praise this princess. When they cultivate immortality in the future, it's hard to say who will have a higher status."
"That's right. The Prince Jing's Mansion is now the pillar of our Chen State. With the Prince Jing's Mansion, we don't have to worry about attacks from Qi or Chu."
"Oh, look, what a beautiful little fox."
Before Yuan Jing could go to Prince Jing's Mansion, the people from the Mansion came to Yuan Jing first. Although he knew the identity of the princess from the discussions of others, Yuan Jing did not even raise his head. Others respected Prince Jing's Mansion, but to Yuan Jing, this Mansion was the enemy of his original body and the entire Zuo family.
"This little fox, I want it. Go ask him how much silver he wants." Princess Zhilan, who was born to Prince Jing, stared at Sanwei intently and waved her hand to let the maid who followed her go and buy the little fox. She did not think that she could not afford the price. Besides, in this territory of the State of Chen, if she, Princess Zhilan, wanted a little fox, who would dare not sell it?
But today she hit a snag. When a maid arrogantly asked Yuan Jing how much money he would sell the three-tailed ox for, Yuan Jing said, "No." Without even raising her head.
"Not selling?" The maid said in disbelief, "Do you know what my princess's status is? It's your blessing that my princess likes your little fox. Don't be ungrateful. Hurry up and make an offer. One thousand taels of silver, and I'll take it away directly."
Yuan Jing finally put down his chopsticks, patted Sanwei's head to calm it down, and looked up at the arrogant maid. He was amused: "Don't you understand what I'm saying? If you say you won't sell it, then don't sell it. Even if your master brings in mountains of gold and silver, I still say the same thing: I won't sell it. Sanwei, eat quickly and leave. It's too noisy here, and you can't eat in peace."
Everyone in the hall pricked up their ears, including those upstairs who noticed the noise below. They didn't expect that someone would confront Princess Zhilan of Prince Jing's Mansion. Did he really not know the status of Prince Jing's Mansion or did he do this on purpose to attract the attention of Prince Jing's Mansion?
Chen Zhilan originally thought that she didn't need to do it herself, and that the servants could do it, but she didn't expect to run into a tough guy. She walked over and frowned and said, "Name a price. There is nothing in the world that my Jingjun Palace can't afford. Will you sell it for 10,000 taels of silver?"
Sanwei took the last bite of the food, wiped his mouth and jumped onto Yuan Jing's shoulder, baring his fangs at this princess and trying to scratch her face.
Yuan Jing sneered, "What a big tone! Can you afford the Longevity Pill? Foundation Establishment Pill, Origin Condensing Pill, Infant Transformation Pill, Purifying Pill, can the Prince Jing's Mansion afford all of these? Even if you move the entire Prince Jing's Mansion here, I still say that I won't sell them."
After Yuan Jing finished speaking, he didn't care about the surprised expressions of those people, turned around and walked out with Sanwei. Chen Zhilan was also stunned at first. She understood the longevity pills and foundation-building pills, and didn't quite understand what the rest were. But she knew they were unusual. This person mentioned pills from the world of cultivating immortals, which was obviously a trick on her.
Seeing that Yuan Jing ignored her and the name of the dignified Jingjunwang Mansion, Chen Zhilan was furious and shouted sharply: "Stop him for me! If you don't accept my toast today, I will drink a forfeit. I must get that fox. Grab it for me!"
"It's bad, this guy has offended the little princess badly, and now he is in big trouble."
"It's just a fox, why not sell it? I've already offered 10,000 taels of silver. What can't you do with that money?"
"Tsk tsk, the people in Prince Jing's Mansion have always been very arrogant. I think they don't even take the royal family seriously." This was the nobleman from upstairs who discovered the commotion downstairs and said with a smile when he saw Chen Zhilan showing off her power.
"I'm afraid we're going to hit a wall." Chen Zhilan could see that the little fox was extraordinary, and the others could also see that it was not an ordinary beast. They wanted to buy it for only 10,000 taels of silver? Chen Zhilan was too dreamy. Now that she couldn't buy it, she wanted to rob it.
“Is this true or false?”
"Just watch."
The prince's guards and followers who followed him rushed to Yuan Jing to stop him, and even reached out to grab the little fox on his shoulder, but Yuan Jing's footsteps did not pause for a moment, and he continued to walk straight forward. No matter whether it was the people who blocked his way or those who reached out to grab the three-tailed fox, they all bumped into an invisible cover and flew backwards one by one.
"Wow, what kind of trick is that? Did we run into an immortal?"
"Except for the methods of immortals, how could a mortal knock someone away without even lifting a hand? It must be the methods of immortals."
