Chapter 88: Chapter 88 - 74: Assets Exceed Ten Thousand, Yin Five Elements Ghost Nurturing Technique [Second Update, 5K]_2

She is indeed a very clever old woman.

Though to be honest, he has no bad impressions of Madam Xu. After his sister joined the Xu family, Madam Xu never troubled her. Furthermore, during Wen Jiu’s most vulnerable time, she offered his sister Wen Ya shelter. When you think about it, the Xu family did offer him a favor.

A hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones not only suffice to repay but are considered a heavy repayment.

Clearly, Mu Canglong wishes for the Xu family not to disturb his sister Wen Ya further.

...

After giving a few more reminders, Mu Canglong didn’t keep Wen Jiu any longer.

Because after the battle, the Night Patrol Department still had many matters to clean up and handle.

Before leaving, Wen Jiu returned the hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones to Mu Canglong, since it’s best to repay as soon as possible. Mu Canglong did not refuse, as a hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones are quite significant to him.

After saying goodbye to Mu Canglong and others, Wen Jiu took the contract, Night Patrol Department’s disciple attire, and token back home.

Upon returning home and handing the three items to his sister Wen Ya, Wen Ya was overwhelmed with joy, her heart finally at ease.

"Am I really an Immortal Master now?"

Sister Wen Ya cherished the Night Patrol Department’s attire as she examined it.

Though merely an apprentice disciple of the Night Patrol Department, it’s still a status unmatched by ordinary Feixian Peak disciples.

Ordinary disciples are already a lofty peak for mortals to gaze upon.

The Night Patrol Department disciples are even more so.

Wen Jiu nodded, continuing, "You can even choose a location around Feixian Peak anytime to settle, and servants will immediately assist in building a house for you. Sister, barring unforeseen circumstances, that house will be your home for a long time to come."

"Really?!"

Sister Wen Ya looked at Wen Jiu incredulously.

And she was extremely excited.

Wen Jiu was not surprised, for those used to living under others’ roofs would all dream of having a home.

A study, garden, bedroom, and kitchen entirely their own.

"Sister, how are your cultivation efforts going?" Wen Jiu asked, as cultivation is the key above all else.

Sister Wen Ya replied truthfully, "I can already sense Spiritual Qi, currently at the beginning of Qi intake stage, but my Dantian hasn’t stored even a wisp of Spiritual Qi yet, progress is somewhat slow."

Wen Jiu was not surprised by this result, as inferior Spirit Roots typically take two to three years to reach the Qi Cultivation First Layer. The only way to shorten this time is through Spirit Stones and Elixir Pills.

However, it seems Sister Wen Ya hasn’t been using Spirit Stones for cultivation, else her Dantian wouldn’t still be devoid of a wisp of Spiritual Qi.

Wen Jiu took out a hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones, which can support a long cultivation for the Qi Cultivation First and Second Layers. "Sister, from now on, use Spirit Stones for cultivation, don’t save them."

"A hundred!" Sister Wen Ya turned serious, "Where did you get so many Low-grade Spirit Stones?"

"Sister, your brother is now at Qi Cultivation Third Layer and is a Yin Talisman Master, earning a hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones casually in a month." Not elaborating further, fearing to startle his sister, "Just use them as you like. If it’s not enough, ask me for more. But, never, under any circumstances, let the Spirit Stones be exposed, even to your own people."

"I certainly understand."

Wen Ya quickly nodded, joyfully storing the Spirit Stones in the storage bag Wen Jiu handed over.

At this moment, Wen Jiu’s thoughts drifted to Feixian Peak. In two or three days, Feixian Peak’s battlefield cleanup will be finished, at which point the assessments will likely commence. After the assessments, he could become a Main Peak disciple.

What exactly is the assessment going to be like?

Clearing his thoughts, by evening Wen Jiu accompanied his sister and the couple Wang Nian for a meal, celebrating his own breakthrough into Qi Cultivation Third Layer.

The next day, he continued cultivating, diving headlong into the Land of Corpse Remains, rejecting felicitations from various departments on Feixian Peak, even from the Elder of the Talisman Room who sent someone to Wen Jiu, he refused directly.

It’s noteworthy that many apprentice disciples and formal disciples from the small gathering at Mountain View Tower came together.

Chen Daoqing was the first.

However, when they arrived, Wen Jiu happened not to be at home.

Yet, Du Feng proposed another gathering invitation, his intentions obvious, wanting to get closer to Wen Jiu. But Wen Jiu refused, considering he rejected Elders as well.

Not missing out on one Du Feng.

Arriving at the Land of Corpse Remains, Wen Jiu was simultaneously recovering the corpse energy consumed by the Three Evil Corpses while inspecting the storage bags of the elder woman at the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation and Mu Yuanlong. Being at the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation, Wen Jiu was infinitely anticipating the contents of their storage bags.

As his Divine Sense probed into the storage bags of both simultaneously, Wen Jiu was first shocked by the quantity of Spirit Stones within.

Mu Yuanlong’s storage bag contained over three hundred Middle-grade Spirit Stones, equivalent to over three thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Though the elder woman’s storage bag had fewer, it nonetheless had nearly two hundred Middle-grade Spirit Stones, equivalent to over two thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.

But Spirit Stones aren’t the most valuable; each of their storage bags held a Tier One High-grade Spiritual Artifact. Unfortunate though as both were heavily damaged by Ye Chen’s Thousand-Pound Tyrant Axe, battered and incomplete.

Their value significantly diminished.

Wen Jiu couldn’t estimate their value, as the highest information he had ever touched upon involved Tier One Middle Grade.

In addition, there were quite a few Tier One Superior Elixirs and Talismans, along with some Qi Cultivation Techniques and similar items.

The value was rather considerable as well.

Guesstimating, Wen Jiu felt the total value of items in their storage bags was around seven to eight thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.
