Chapter 18
"My grandson is truly... saved this time!" Old Madam Jiang looked in the direction where her grandson's figure disappeared, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Alright, this is good news. We'll go to Lingju Temple in a couple of days to see Mo'er," Grandpa Jiang comforted him.
Madam Jiang wiped away her tears and nodded.
Lingju Temple
Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi returned to Lingju Temple. Ye Zi looked towards the back mountain and saw fluctuations in spiritual energy. Her master was on the back mountain.
At this moment, Yan Yan came out of the temple and saw Ye Zi returning to greet him: "Senior Sister, Master has taken everyone to the training ground."
"Okay, let's go together." Ye Zi pointed to Jiang Mo, who was lying on the ground behind Yan Yan, unconscious from the sword.
“My brother-in-law came for the first time and rode on the same spirit sword as my senior sister, but he didn’t get sword sickness like you. With your constitution, such a strong reaction means you may never be able to fly on a sword again.” Yan Yan helped Jiang Mo and slowly moved behind Ye Zilu Hengzhi.
Although Yan Yan complained and joked, he still put a pill into Jiang Mo's mouth.
As soon as he swallowed the pill, the dizziness and nausea vanished without a trace. Jiang Mo straightened up instantly, looked up and asked, "What pill was that? The effect was immediate, it was so effective! Do you have any more? If so, could you sell me a few bottles?"
"Yes, yes." Upon hearing that Jiang Mo wanted to buy pills, Yan Yan, who had just been disdainful of Jiang Mo, instantly turned into a smiling face and became very eager to help.
Finally, a sale is about to be made! Finally, someone with discerning eyes is willing to buy his pills!
Yan Yan said, "You have good taste; you know this is a good product. There are two more bottles here, and I'll give them to you at half price. Just give me 50."
"What, 50!" Jiang Mo's voice rose involuntarily. He simply couldn't believe what he was hearing. This kind of miraculous medicine, even if it wasn't worth a fortune, should still be sold at a high price. How could it be sold so cheaply? He, the young master of the Jiang family, would not allow it!
Yan Yan, seeing Jiang Mo's angry and glaring expression, assumed it was because he thought it was too expensive!
But I'm not asking for a high price, given how low prices are down here!
Never mind, even if it means losing money! He has to sell the pills today, no matter what. He has to make a sale, even if it means losing money! He has to sell them at a loss!
So, Yan Yan hesitated and tentatively suggested, "How about 25?"
"What!" Jiang Mo's voice rose even louder! Unable to bear listening any longer, he pulled out his wallet, grabbed a thick wad of crisp new hundred-yuan bills, and stuffed them into Yan Yan's hand. "This is 50,000. From now on, your pills will cost at least 25,000 per bottle. Such precious treasures must not be sold at a discount, let alone sold cheaply. This young master will not allow anyone to waste such valuable resources!"
"Ah!" Yan Yan had never seen so much money before and was a little embarrassed to accept it. "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Isn't it too expensive? Will no one be willing to buy from me in the future?"
"No, good things are always in high demand. The more expensive they are, the more people will want them! If no one buys them, I'll buy them all!" Jiang Mo waved his hand and bought them all.
"Okay! My confidant, from now on you'll be my confidant!"
It feels so good to be recognized! Yan Yan was deeply moved. At this moment, Jiang Mo was like a ray of light in Yan Yan's eyes.
"No problem, no problem. We'll all be family from now on. Your senior sister is my master." Jiang Mo became curious and whispered gossip, "You just said you have a brother-in-law. Does that mean my cold and ruthless master is already married young?"
Jiang Mo thought he was speaking quietly enough, unaware that Ye Zilu and Hengzhi, who were walking ahead, had heard the entire conversation between the two idiots.
"Oh...hehe." Yan Yan couldn't help but smile mischievously when he heard that Jiang Mo was the senior sister's disciple.
"Brother, why are you laughing like that all of a sudden? Don't scare me, my dear friend." Jiang Mo felt a chill run down his spine from Yan Yan's laughter, sensing something was wrong, which almost triggered his cold poison.
"Good friend, I didn't expect you to be the eldest sister's disciple. Do you know that I... am your grand-uncle!" Yan Yan raised her small face. "Junior nephew, hurry up and call me grand-uncle."
"Little brat, you're not an adult yet!" Jiang Mo looked at his innocent little friend who had just been so naive, and in the blink of an eye, he had become his senior uncle, a senior in the Cheng-shu generation!
It's one thing for my master to be younger than me, but how come there's this junior master who's about the age of an elementary school student?
"Yes, he's not an adult yet, but that's not important. As a close friend, I'm telling you in advance so you can be mentally prepared. You also have an even younger junior uncle who's not even three years old yet."
"What! A three-year-old!"
When Yan Yan saw Jiang Mo's conflicted and disapproving expression, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Jiang Mo never expected that upon arriving at Lingju Temple, he would not only become the oldest, but also be of a lower generation. Back in the Jiang family, he was the youngest young master.
Jiang Mo refused to believe it: "Don't you have a senior brother-in-law? Your senior brother-in-law is definitely older than me."
With a master as fierce as her, the person she married must be mature and steady, so that he can keep her in check.
"Brother-in-law? Didn't you just come back with my senior sister and brother-in-law?" Yan Yan pointed at Luo Hengzhi in front of him. "My brother-in-law is only 20 years old, just a year or two older than my senior sister. I haven't even asked you how old you are yet."
"What! Luo Hengzhi... is your senior brother-in-law?" Jiang Mo's face was filled with shock. Destroy this world!
Wasn't Luo Hengzhi just an ordinary person like him, powerless to even kill a chicken? How could he possibly subdue his master, who was capable of splitting mountains and overturning seas and going up to heaven and down to earth?
But then Jiang Mo's mind raced, and she seemed to understand something: "Luo Hengzhi is actually my master's husband. No wonder my master only smiles at Luo Hengzhi, and his smile is so beautiful."
At this moment, Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi were both stunned when they heard Jiang Mo's words.
Luo Hengzhi couldn't help but frown. What did he mean by Ye Zi only smiling at him, and smiling so beautifully? Was this guy blind?
This was the first time Ye Zi had ever heard the word "husband," and she was quite shocked.
[So Yamashita really does call his partner "husband"? How vulgar! It would be much better to just call him by his name.]
"Luo Hengzhi." Ye Zi suddenly called out to Luo Hengzhi.
"Hmm." Luo Hengzhi was listening to Ye Zi's thoughts and didn't react for a moment, so she subconsciously responded.
"It's nothing." Ye Zi felt exceptionally happy whenever she saw Luo Hengzhi's handsome face, and couldn't help but smile.
Luo Hengzhi: "???" She's quick to shut up! She heard my thoughts and then responded, as if she wanted to die too slowly!
"No, Luo Hengzhi got married! So the person who used the online proxy marriage service to buy Luo Hengzhi's place was my master! My aloof and otherworldly master actually uses the online proxy marriage service! That's some amazing skills! I never would have guessed!"
Jiang Mo thought that even now, no one online knows who the person who joined the group order for Luo Hengzhi is, and there are all sorts of guesses.
But now he knows, and it's truly a shocking piece of gossip!
"Boss." Luo Yi ran to Luo Hengzhi's side with the fluffy cat in his arms and said to Ye Zi with a happy face, "Master, I have successfully guided Qi into my body and reached the first level of Qi Refining."
"Hmm, not bad." Ye Zi saw that Luo Yi's body was already glowing with a faint spiritual light, which meant that he had taken the Body Shaping Pill and that most of the impurities in his body had been expelled.
Luo Hengzhi also saw it, which meant that Luo Yi had begun to cultivate. In the future, as Luo Yi grew up, he, as an ordinary person, did not know whether he could keep Luo Yi. If not, who would do his work in the future!
Without Luo Yi, a capable assistant, Luo Hengzhi is a bit troubled!
At this moment, Luo Hengzhi thought that if he could also draw qi into his body, that would be great. If he could cultivate, he would have a better chance of winning in the future, and he would be better able to protect himself!
"Master, Longbao misses you so much." Longbao stared at Luo Hengzhi with its tiny, sesame-seed-like eyes, expressing its deep longing for its master.
But unfortunately, his eyes were too small, and Luo Hengzhi couldn't see his deep affection at all.
Luo Yi placed the fluffy creature into Luo Hengzhi's arms: "Boss, Longbao really missed you and kept asking for you all day."
Luo Hengzhi looked at the little thing in his arms. If Luo Yi hadn't returned it to him, he would have completely forgotten that he even had such a pet.
"Senior brother, I am Master's new disciple. From today onwards, you are my senior brother and I am your new junior brother Jiang Mo. Did you just say that you have started cultivating? Can you take me under your wing? I also want to become an immortal." When Jiang Mo heard Luo Yi call Ye Zi "Master", he walked up to his senior brother and greeted him in a friendly manner.
How could Luo Yi, a man who had dominated the business world, not know the young master of the Jiang family? He never expected that his master would take this only son of the Jiang family as his disciple.
"Of course," Luo Yi replied enthusiastically, leading Jiang Mo aside to exchange cultivation experiences.
Upon arriving at the back mountain, Luo Hengzhi was immediately drawn to the training ground teeming with spiritual energy. Although it appeared to be just a slightly larger raised platform, the pure spiritual energy must have been enhanced by an array. Luo Hengzhi couldn't resist stepping forward to examine it.
"Master." Ye Zi walked towards Master Yun Qing and looked at Huo Qinglei, Xiao Hui and Xiao Yu, and Xiao Hu, who had all already drawn Qi into their bodies, standing beside the training ground.
"Did you go to Yunjing City?" Master Yunqing asked.
"Yes, we accepted the order from the Jiang family." Ye Zi glanced back at Jiang Mo. "That's Jiang Mo from the Jiang family. He has a mutated ice spirit root. When he was born, cold energy overflowed and invaded his heart meridian."
Following Ye Zi's gaze, Master Yunqing looked at Jiang Mo: "The age is too old, and the cold poison is already deep."
Ye Zi: "At most, two more years."
“Complete removal requires a level six Cold Transformation Pill, but level six spiritual herbs like the Cold Transformation Herb are now hard to find,” said Master Yunqing.
Ye Zi took out the check and handed it to Master Yun Qing: "The Jiang family is a wealthy and powerful family. I wonder if I can send the information on the Cold-Transforming Grass to the Jiang family so that they can send people to search for it in various places. That way, the chances will be greater."
"This is the payment made by the Jiang family today. From now on, the Jiang family will pay 100 million yuan every year to light prayer lamps for Jiang Mo at Lingju Temple."
Master Yunqing glanced at the check in Ye Zi's hand, and upon hearing that it would cost 100 million annually, he feared that his disciple might forget her roots for the sake of worldly gain.
Master Yunqing: "Little Yezi, no matter what, we cultivators must never get entangled in mortal affairs. Jiang Mo has a spiritual root body and can be saved, but if he is a mortal, no matter what benefits the other party promises, we must not take a single penny. This is the bottom line that disciples of Lingju Temple are not allowed to cross in their cultivation."
"Master, rest assured, your disciple will always keep this in mind," Ye Zi said, bowing respectfully.
"Tell me what the Jiang family is asking for today?" Master Yunqing helped Ye Zi up. He was worried that his disciple would suffer karmic punishment for bearing worldly karma while undergoing the tribulation.
Ye Zi: "Old Master Jiang has been suffering from death energy for a long time and has been in a coma because there is a death energy gathering array in the Jiang family courtyard that gathers death energy from hundreds of miles away."
"Does the death energy gathered by the Gathering Fiend Array target everyone indiscriminately, or does it only affect one person?" Master Yunqing asked.
"It only targets Old Master Jiang; everyone else is unharmed. Moreover, there's a maze hidden within the Gathering Fiend Array," Ye Zi replied.
"Setting up the Gathering Evil Formation is not difficult, but it only targets one person, and the person who sets up the formation must be at least at the Nascent Soul stage."
A thousand years ago, Master Yunqing escaped a calamity and survived. He believed that others could do the same, and that there must be other cultivators hiding in the shadows.
Ye Zi continued, "The formation was broken by Luo Hengzhi using an ordinary brick."
Upon hearing this, Master Yunqing smiled and nodded with satisfaction: "I was right. Luo Hengzhi has not even started cultivating yet, but he can break the formation with ordinary objects. It is evident that Luo Hengzhi not only has an extraordinary physique, but also has exceptional talent in formations and other areas!"
