Ning Hong was quite satisfied with Ning Xiaocao's performance.
If Ning Xiaocao cries and hugs Long Lin, he'll probably change his attitude towards her.
For example, mold her into a tomboy.
Treat her the same way you would treat your younger brother.
Perhaps this is a good option.
Ning Hong then brought Ning Xiaocao to Linxian Town.
Prices in this town are a bit high.
Since spirit stones are in circulation, gold and silver jewelry have become somewhat worthless.
It's just a small courtyard. If it were in their town, it would probably cost a hundred taels of silver. But Linxian Town is different. A hundred taels of silver can only buy a place to stay for three months.
Of course, if you have spirit stones, two low-grade spirit stones are enough to rent a place for a month.
Ning Hongze naturally had one hundred taels on her person; she had eighty taels just from selling the house.
The problem is that even with these eighty taels of silver, he still didn't have more than one hundred and fifty taels of silver on him.
Renting a house costs one hundred taels of silver, and afterwards, living expenses and other things all require money.
He finally understood why, despite being so close to their town, Linxian Town received so few visitors—they simply couldn't afford to be there.
"Brother, why don't we stay at the local earth god temple? We think we just passed one." The temple looked a bit dilapidated.
"Don't be silly, the local temple is full of beggars, there's no room for you to sleep. Even if you're both skinny, you still can't squeeze in." The broker smacked his teeth, crossed his legs, and...
He wasn't in a hurry at all.
He owns the cheapest properties in Linxian Town, and his properties are in high demand. He's lucky; the previous tenant just left, and he came to inquire about the property. If it had been a little later, the property would have been rented out.
"Alright, let's rent it for three months first, and then we'll figure out how to get some spirit stones."
Ning Hong then took out her money and rented the place for three months.
"Let me tell you, it's only because I'm here that they're still willing to accept your money. Other brokers wouldn't accept it."
The broker's surname is Liu, and everyone calls him Liu the broker.
He was only telling the truth.
It's true that there are very few brokers who accept money these days, but they still exist; it's just unclear whether they still own any properties.
Ning Hongze and her brother followed Liu Yazi to this courtyard.
The courtyard is very small, with only two rooms and a yard, but there is a small kitchen built in the corner of the yard.
Next to the kitchen, there is a well.
It's convenient to drink water and use water.
This alone made Ning Hong extremely satisfied.
So be it if the house is small.
Once they've earned enough spirit stones, they can move to a bigger house.
Long Lin followed behind them the whole time.
Those men in black were mainly after Mo Lan, and their goal was to kidnap her to threaten her master.
Mo Lan's master is an elder of the Hanxu Sect.
He was extremely skilled at alchemy.
I heard that many years ago, she refined a top-grade Nascent Soul Pill.
The young master of these men in black offended someone some time ago and was injured.
His power had greatly diminished; he had originally been a Nascent Soul cultivator, but had actually regressed to the Foundation Establishment stage.
He had finally managed to cultivate back to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, but due to the injury left behind by that person, he was unable to transform his core into an infant.
That's why they set their sights on this elixir.
As a result, the entire force that was sent out was wiped out.
Mo Lan went to handle this matter.
Her master has decided to seek justice for her.
However, Long Lin had not yet formally joined the Hanxu Sect, so he could not go along.
Of course, he wasn't in the mood to go at the moment.
His mind is now entirely focused on the Ning family siblings.
He was taken in by Ning Xiaocao when he was six years old, and lived with the Ning siblings for twelve years. Even without romantic love, their brotherly and sisterly affection was genuine.
He couldn't let them go.
Even knowing that Ning Xiaocao is no longer the same as before, I still feel worried.
Seeing them living in such a small courtyard because they had no money, he really wanted to show himself and give them all the spirit stones he had.
He just didn't dare—
They probably don't want to see him anymore, right?
After all, he left so decisively back then, and that day he had implicated them as well.
Ning Hong then led Ning Xiaoquan to cultivate a small piece of land.
It's a very small area, just enough for him to grow some medicinal herbs.
These herbs are intended for use in alchemy.
Once these pills are refined, they can exchange them for spirit stones, which will help alleviate their financial difficulties.
Ning Hong always felt that someone was spying on them.
But every time I searched, I found nothing.
"Brother, what are you looking at?"
"I always feel like someone is spying on us."
Ning Hong frowned and said, "Little Grass, the position is too far to the side."
"oh."
Ning Xiaocao aimed the axe at the firewood in the round tube.
The firewood was as thick as an adult's arm.
Ning Xiaocao swung her axe and chopped down, splitting the firewood into two equal parts. Then, she chopped the firewood into pieces.
Each piece is of uniform size.
Long Lin felt a pang of heartache upon seeing this, and inexplicably felt a bit depressed.
Big brother is really going too far. How could he make Xiaocao do such a thing?
He used to do this job.
Could it be that after he left, it became Xiaocao's job?
