Chapter 101: Modern Immortal Cultivation Two Hundred Years After the End of the World 5
Zhang Yangzhou wanted to beat up his own daughter. She made such a big fuss just to test a piece of talisman paper?
This unfortunate little kid.
Zhang Yangzhou looked at the talisman paper in his hand, examined it carefully, then sniffed it gently and said, "Jiabao, tell Daddy, how many spirit stones did you spend on this talisman paper and beast blood?"
Zhang Xiaojia felt a little uneasy, but then he remembered that being a talisman master was a very expensive profession, so he confessed confidently, "It cost me a full 100,000 spirit stones! But you see, I still have a lot! And after I finish drawing all these talisman papers, their value will definitely far exceed 100,000 spirit stones."
Generally speaking, for a cultivator with three spiritual roots and decent aptitude, the cost of starting cultivation and reaching the Great Perfection of Qi Refining would not exceed 100,000 spirit stones. However, this little girl had already spent 100,000 spirit stones just on the tools for drawing talismans.
Zhang Yangzhou frowned and asked, "Where did you get so much money?"
Zhang Xiaojia continued to answer honestly, "After Grandpa came out of seclusion, he asked me to reflect on my mistakes for a month. I was so bored, so I asked him for his elixir formulas, elixir books, and elixir experience book. I took a look and found that they were not difficult at all! So I modified the elixir formula a little, and it actually worked on my first try! Later, I took these top-grade elixirs to an auction house, and they immediately paid me a deposit of 100,000."
Zhang Xiaojia even pulled Zhang Yangzhou to her alchemy room, took out a storage bag and gave it to him, saying, "Dad, I'm good to you. Look at the elixirs I made. I've left a portion for you as long as they're top-grade."
Zhang Yangzhou looked at the alchemy furnace on the gas stove, then looked at his daughter, then looked at the gas stove again. He sat down and said in disbelief, "You rely on the gas stove to refine the elixir?"
Zhang Xiaojia nodded affirmatively and said, "Dad, you know my aptitude is low. If I control the elixir, I can't control the elixir fire. There is no other way. Don't disbelieve me, I will refine it for you to see."
Zhang Xiaojia threw all the herbs for refining the foundation-building pill into the top-grade large furnace. Zhang Yangzhou looked at the furnace and saw that it was full.
Watching Zhang Xiaojia light the fire sometimes high and sometimes low, he would use his spiritual power to move the alchemy furnace thirty centimeters away from the fire. After putting the furnace down again, he would directly turn the fire to medium and leave it alone.
Waited for an hour and turned off the heat.
A burst of elixir fragrance wafted out.
Zhang Xiaojia opened the alchemy furnace, and Zhang Yangzhou took a look. He estimated that there were hundreds of foundation-building pills inside. He didn't know what to say. This must be God chasing after him and begging him to eat!
His old man can only refine seven pills at most at a time, right?
Zhang Yangzhou immediately said nervously, "Are you going to take the auction house like this?"
Zhang Xiaojia shook her head. "I'm not stupid. I took a disguise pill first, then asked a mortal to put on some makeup before going to the auction house."
Zhang Yangzhou breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately this was not too stupid.
"Does anyone know this?"
"You, Daddy, it's just you now."
Zhang Yangzhou said calmly, "Put away this top-grade large alchemy furnace. Use the small alchemy furnace normally. Don't tell anyone that you can refine hundreds of pills at once. The alchemists here can only refine 7 pills at a time. The most powerful alchemist can only control three alchemy furnaces at a time."
Zhang Xiaojia quickly put the alchemy furnace into the storage bag.
Zhang Yangzhou took out a portion of medicinal herbs. When Zhang Xiaojia saw it, tears filled her eyes and she hugged her father.
Zhang Yangzhou patted Zhang Xiaojia's head and said, "Our Jiabao is amazing. This is the herb for the Bu Tian Dan that I, your Uncle Xiao, and Uncle Zheng have been looking for over the years. If you refine it successfully, eating it can improve your spiritual root aptitude. Your original aptitude was 89, but now it's only 5. Since you have such a high talent for alchemy, you will be the one to refine it."
Speaking of Qiao Zheng, it just so happened that Master Yi Le was going to meet Uncle Zheng's younger brother at Zuixianlou tomorrow. Dad was just coming back, so he could just give it to him. Zhang Xiaojia handed the top-grade bone cleansing pill to his father and said, "This is for Uncle Zheng. Dad, when you and Uncle Zheng go to Zuixianlou, bring me the restaurant's signature Zuixian wine."
The Drunken Immortal Wine that his daughter wanted was now sold out. Zhang Yangzhou picked up the pill and said, "Okay, then I'll invite your Uncle Zheng to the Drunken Immortal House at noon tomorrow."
Zhang Yangzhou looked at the books on the table. All the books on the cultivation profession are here, right?
Zhang Yangzhou looked at his indecisive daughter and said, "Are you going to try all the professions? Just focus on refining your elixir!"
Zhang Xiaojia shook his head firmly and said, "There is no sense of accomplishment in alchemy. I plan to do everything you said."
Even though she was his own precious daughter, Zhang Yangzhou wanted to beat her up at this moment so that she could have a complete childhood.
After Zhang Yangzhou left, it seemed that he had returned. The heroine was his illegitimate daughter. The heroine wanted to kill the original owner, but the original owner didn't know. Zhang Xiaojia wanted to know the reason, so she recalled the original owner's memory and made a guess. She just didn't know if it was the same as she thought, so she just had to wait.
Zhang Xiaojia came to the clan's library and saw Zhang Tianyi arguing with someone.
Zhang Chenxi sarcastically said, "Who was I wondering? It's Tianyi! It turns out to be Fourth Cousin's daughter. The clothes you're wearing look like they were designed two years ago! You look so poor, but you're the second daughter of the Zhang family. Has Fourth Cousin still not reached the Foundation Establishment stage after all these years?"
Zhang Tianyi retorted, "I am your only daughter, unlike you who have many sisters?"
"You're not even as good as the knockoffs. Look at what the knockoffs are wearing? What are they using? Look at you, you really have nothing."
Zhang Tianyi sneered and said, "Well, you can compare with her. Yes, you are also the eldest daughter of the second house. Can you compare with her?"
Zhang Xiaojia coughed lightly and said, "Zhang Tianyi, why don't you work? Grandpa told you not to associate with bad people."
"Who are you calling a shady person, you imposter."
Zhang Xiaojia said coldly, "I am the eldest daughter of the Zhang Zhongxing branch of the Zhang family. It is registered in the Zhang family tree. Yang Yangyang is the second daughter, and Zhang Tianyi is the third daughter. You are the descendant of a concubine. You can't be included in the family tree. You are not something that can be put on the table. Get out~"
"You, you, you~ are a fake."
Zhang Xiaojia said arrogantly, "Then let the clan expel me! This is when the importance of having a good father and grandfather becomes apparent."
Before leaving, Zhang Tianyi shouted, "Just wait, I'm going to tell my grandfather, you're going to regret it."
Zhang Xiaojia also said, "You talk as if everyone has a grandfather. I'm going to complain too."
Zhang Xiaojia turned around and asked, "How many more?"
Zhang Tianyi said proudly, "It's done. I only used it for 8 days."
Zhang Xiaojia put all the equipment into the storage bag, glanced at her, and left.
Zhang Tianyi was stunned and quickly chased after him, saying, "What do you mean? I did this, are you trying to take the credit?"
Zhang Xiaojia smiled and said, "Who knows? You've always hated me. Who would believe you if you said you would do it for me?"
Zhang Tianyi said directly, "The Zhang family disciples here have registered."
Zhang Xiaojia whispered in her ear, "Grandpa never assigned this task, and the Zhang family head would never agree to collect the clan's books and put them on a computer. This is stealing the clan's heritage. Do you understand? If you tell anyone, you will probably have your spiritual roots cut off and be expelled from the clan."
Zhang Tianyi was so frightened that tears welled up in her eyes. Zhang Xiaojia continued, "If you behave well, I won't report you. Otherwise, if you tell me about you and me, who will the old man believe?"
Zhang Tianyi looked at the person in front of her, this devil. What was even more infuriating was that her grandfather must have believed that it was Zhang Xiaojia, not her.
Zhang Xiaojia looked at Zhang Tianyi's red face and said, "See! This naughty child is not easy to deal with. If she doesn't listen, I'll beat her up. If she still doesn't listen, then I'll try another method. I don't believe I can't cure her."
Zhang Xiaojia said coldly, "I'll give you two hours to pack your things and come to my guest room. If you don't come to my yard within two hours, you will bear the consequences."
Zhang Tianyi ran away, and Zhang Xiaojia walked back slowly. When she saw her great-grandfather's concubine, she ignored her. After all, the old man didn't recognize her, and as his granddaughter, she certainly wouldn't recognize her either.
Zhang Xiaojia returned to the yard, and before she could even sit down, she saw Zhang Yangfan rushing towards her with an angry look on his face.
Zhang Xiaojia stood up and said with a smile, "Uncle San, sit down. You are here for Tianyi, right?"
Don't hit someone who smiles at you. Zhang Yangfan was originally angry, but he couldn't lose his temper at once, so he could only say, "Xiao Jia, you..."
Zhang Xiaojia poured tea for his uncle and said, "Tianyi, you are not young anymore. You have four spiritual roots, but your aptitude is not very good. You are still at the third level of Qi Refining. If you don't practice and change your temper, my aptitude may have dropped, but my spiritual roots are the best of the best. I am now at the ninth level of Qi Refining and will soon reach the tenth level. She is your daughter. I call you Third Uncle, and I will not harm her."
After hearing this, Zhang Yangfan drank his tea silently. He knew that what Zhang Xiaojia said made sense, but he felt bad when he saw his daughter crying so hard.
Zhang Xiaojia continued, "Third Uncle, you know in your heart that my resources were given to me by my father, Uncle Liu Xiao, and Uncle Qiao Zheng. They didn't take away your resources. But Zhang Tianyi refused to believe it. She thought that without me, my father's resources would have been given to her. She thought that I took away the eldest daughter of the Zhang family. She didn't think about it. Every time I went to a competition, it was always me, and every time I didn't come back victorious. When she was complaining, I was practicing hard. I deliberately threatened her so that she would be obedient and concentrate on practicing. If you don't want her to change, then I won't meddle in your affairs."
After listening to this, Zhang Yangfan looked at Zhang Xiaojia and finally understood why his elder brother and father loved her so much. He said gratefully, "Xiaojia, please, I'll leave Zhang Tianyi to you. I won't interfere."
Zhang Xiaojia smiled and said, "Uncle San, we are family. What's the point of asking for favors? Since I am a member of the Zhang family, Zhang Tianyi is my sister."
Zhang Yangfan simply went back and looked at his daughter with a stern face. "Why don't you go to your sister, or you will be responsible for the consequences. You should understand that your father is incompetent. If you are expelled from the clan, I can't help you."
After hearing this, Zhang Tianyi burst into tears and packed her things while crying.
