Chapter 1805: You don't want to make progress?

The Second Sequence didn't think much, just casually nodded and agreed.

Hearing the Second Sequence say that, the old Xianling Grass felt things were a bit strange, but couldn't refute it, so could only respectfully agree.

This is the suppression faced from the master house; even the old Xianling Grass must obey the Second Sequence's words.

Seeing this, Xu Jie smirked, and the group continued on their way, with Xu Jie naturally walking alongside the old Xianling Grass.

"Senior, how do we refine this spirit pearl?"

"Oh, just refine it like a spirit stone. Then do I need to pay attention to anything?"

"No need? Just like a spirit stone?"

Along the way, Xu Jie seemed to genuinely be asking the old Xianling Grass questions about the spirit pearl, but these questions made the old Xianling Grass feel weird.

Although this kid's cultivation is low, he has at least reached the Shèngjìng realm, right?

You damn well haven't used spirit stones for cultivation? I already told him—just use this spirit pearl like a spirit stone.

Even a cultivator at the Sensing Qi Realm could understand this, right?

But Xu Jie just seemed to have endless questions, as if he couldn't understand, with one question after another.

You're a Shèngjìng cultivator and you don't know how to use spirit stones?

The old Xianling Grass gave Xu Jie a complex look, but facing that gaze, Xu Jie acted as if he hadn't seen it, continuing to ask on his own.

Unbeknownst to them, the old Xianling Grass was being led by Xu Jie, slowing down more and more, while Ye Zhangqing and the Second Sequence ahead grew farther away.

The Second Sequence kept chatting with Ye Zhangqing, while Xu Jie and the old Xianling Grass had fallen behind.

Seeing the distance was about right, Xu Jie felt the moment was ripe; under the old Xianling Grass stare, he suddenly shifted his tone and spoke.

"Senior, you've worked hard guarding the Guo family's sea of living spirit grass all these years."

Hearing that, the old Xianling Grass didn't sense any problem and casually replied.

"I was born in this sea of living spirit grass; guarding this place is my duty."

"Senior, can't you leave this place?"

"That's not it; since I was born with true spirit, I can actually go anywhere in this vast world."

"That's really a shame; in my view, with your strength, you should have long joined the Guo clan and become a true Guo family member, rather than seeing yourself as a servant."

"Young friend, you can't just say that nonsense."

Hearing that, a flash of odd color passed through the old Xianling Grass's eyes; he stared for a moment, furtively glancing at the Second Sequence.

Seeing the Second Sequence not looking over, seeming not to have heard Xu Jie's words, he secretly let out a breath of relief.

He then turned his head, as if somewhat blaming Xu Jie, and said.

Although he said that, the hint of expectation and loss in the old Xianling Grass's eyes could not be concealed, clearly caught by Xu Jie.

From the moment he was born with true spirit, the old Xianling Grass cultivated for countless years, his strength continually rising.

To be frank, even the Guo family head would not dare claim certain victory before the old Xianling Grass.

Their strengths are evenly matched; only the Guo family's three ancient ancestors could keep it in check.

Moreover, in terms of seniority and age, the old Xianling Grass is above the current Guo family head.

But even so, what does it matter? He's still a Guo family servant.

Without being summoned by the master house, he cannot freely leave this sea of living spirit grass.

The old Xianling Grass's greatest wish in this life is to gain the master house's favor, and, in recognition of his years of toil, be entered into the clan register.

As an immortal spirit of heaven and earth, to become a Guo family member.

But to enter the family register as an immortal spirit is extremely difficult, very hard.

Seeing the expectation and longing in the old Xianling Grass's eyes, Xu Jie suddenly showed a mysterious smile and whispered to him.

"Senior, do you really not want to make progress anymore?"

Huh???

Hearing that, the old Xianling Grass gave Xu Jie a weird look, unsure if he truly didn't understand the meaning, and asked suspiciously.

"Young friend, what do you mean by that?"

Facing the old Xianling Grass's doubt, Xu Jie said without diminishing his smile.

"Junior feels that after all these years of your diligent effort, it's time for you to make progress."

"Ah, that's easy to say, but the master house has countless immortal spirits; how many of them can actually enter the clan register in the end?"

"I'm merely one of the many immortal spirits under the master house, and I have no great achievements; how dare I hope for.................."

"What if the junior could help?"

Huh???

This time, without letting the old Xianling Grass finish speaking, Xu Jie directly interrupted in a low voice.

As soon as those words were spoken, the old Xianling Grass was visibly stunned, abruptly turning his head to look at Xu Jie, his eyes full of scrutiny.

Facing the old Xianling Grass's gaze, Xu Jie remained calm, appearing full of confidence.

Staring fixedly at Xu Jie, the old Xianling Grass actually believed somewhat in what Xu Jie said.

The main reason, naturally, was still because of what the Second Sequence had said earlier.

"They are all honored guests of my Guo family."

You should know that the Second Sequence holds a lofty status in the master house, nearly equivalent to a family elder.

With the family's full cultivation, he will definitely become a high-ranking member of the clan in the future.

His words won't be false; being able to say this, at least one thing is certain—that Ye Zhangqing and his companions' status is certainly not low, at least enough for the master house to value them.

Therefore, the old Xianling Grass is more inclined to believe that Xu Jie has this ability.

After a long silence, finally, the old Xianling Grass solemnly opened his mouth to ask.

"Young friend, can you really do it?"

Seeing the Old Xianling Grass so serious, Xu Jie secretly thought it was settled, but on the surface he still spoke without changing his expression.

"As a junior, I dare not speak rashly and have no confidence, but I can still say a few words; in front of the Old Ancestor, I can still say a few nice words for my seniors."

Huh??

"Can the little friend manage to speak with the Old Ancestor?"

Xu Jie said it lightly, but to the Old Xianling Grass's ears it was utterly shocking.

Can this kid speak with the Old Ancestor?

Originally I thought that, at Xu Jie's age, reaching the level of Patriarch or Elder was already the limit; I never expected this kid to bring up the Old Ancestor as soon as he opened his mouth.

But bringing it up to the Old Ancestor makes it completely different.

It wants to enter the clan genealogy; even the Patriarch cannot decide it with a single word, but for the Guo family's three Old Ancestors, it's just a matter of one sentence.

The three Old Ancestors—no matter who, as long as they utter a sentence, who would dare oppose?

It's a pity that the Old Xianling Grass has been loyal to the Guo family for so many years, yet the number of times it has seen the three Old Ancestors can be counted on one's fingers, let alone being able to speak with them.

I never expected that this kid before me actually has connections with the three Old Ancestors.

Facing the Old Xianling Grass's surprised inquiry, Xu Jie replied with a confident expression.

"There is an elder in my family who can speak with the Old Ancestor."

"I see."

Xu Jie spoke without blushing or his heart racing; hearing this, the Old Xianling Grass nodded, as if making a decision, and suddenly bowed to Xu Jie with clasped hands.

"Little friend, your great kindness, I, the old man, will keep it in my heart."
