Chapter 81: She Knows How to Solve This Problem

"Storage bag? Did you buy it?"

Ji Tang's words made Jiang Miao's mind tremble; she came to her senses in an instant and replied subconsciously, "Yes, I'm not sure if it was a good purchase, and I'm worried I might have been cheated."

"Let me take a look for you." Ji Tang took the storage bag from Jiang Miao's hand, examined it closely, and was slightly surprised, "Where in the market did you buy this? Are there actually such good goods available now?"

Good goods?

"Is the quality of this storage bag good?"

"It's an intermediate storage bag; although the space isn't very large, the quality is good." Ji Tang tossed it back to Jiang Miao casually, "This kind of storage bag is quite rare in the market; there are still too few good things in the Mortal Realm."

Listening to Ji Tang's words, Jiang Miao's hand holding the storage bag tightened slightly. As expected, she heard Ji Tang ask again, "The matter I asked you about yesterday, how have you considered it?"

Jiang Miao's heart skipped a beat, but she said with a calm expression, "I have thought about it carefully, and I still prioritize cultivation. I appreciate Senior Sister Ji's kindness, but my foundation is shallow, and I don't want to hold you back."

Ji Tang did not expect Jiang Miao to refuse, and her expression immediately turned cold, "Jiang Miao, I thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be a fool. Do you think the Academy is simple? Without anyone to rely on, and relying only on the Talisman Beads earned from those few Academy tasks, I'm afraid you won't make much progress even in decades."

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister." Jiang Miao remained unmoved.

Seeing this, Ji Tang sneered and said, "Fine, I'd like to see how much backbone you have; I just hope you won't regret it later." After speaking, she flicked her sleeves and left.

Once Ji Tang left, Jiang Miao's tense body finally relaxed slightly. She gripped the storage bag tightly, her face pale, and after a long while, she lifted her feet and walked out.

Others might not know about the Ji Family, but she knew a thing or two.

The Ji Family had been entrenched in Wanxing City for hundreds of years, with deep foundations and great ambition. Previously, members of the Ji Family had operated secretly in Jindu, trying to win over the nobles of Jindu.

But because of Li Zhi'an, they had not succeeded. Now that they, the people from Jindu, had just arrived at the Academy, the Ji Family had come knocking; this was not a good sign.

Jiang Miao went to find Yan Shengyu to discuss this matter. If the Ji Family were to strike in the dark, they would be unable to fight back at the moment and could only beg Fang Xun or Lu Jinfan for help.

Under these circumstances, she certainly could not let the Ji Family know that Cheng Xi was already able to craft storage bags; otherwise, they would definitely bite onto Cheng Xi and never let go.

Cheng Xi did not know about these things. She returned to Qingtian Peak with the storage bag, and both Feng Huo and Baohua were happy. Cheng Xi went to check the Spirit Field; the planted Spirit Plants were all alive, but they looked listless.

She squatted down and touched the soil; it was moist, clearly showing that Baohua had watered the ground.

She looked at the leaves again, and there were no pests, so where was the problem?

She walked around the Spirit Field once and discovered that most of the Spirit Essence here was being snatched away by the Daye Hongying Grass planted nearby.

This type of Spirit Plant had large leaves and vigorous vitality; it was a very overbearing type of spirit herb.

So, she called Feng Huo and Baohua over. She drew an Array Diagram for a Spirit Gathering Array, dividing the entire Spirit Field into different zones and allocating Spirit Essence according to the planting conditions of the Spirit Plants, so that the situation of snatching would not occur.

The saying that one is soft-handed after taking gifts was also vividly reflected in the fire and wood spirits. Having received benefits from Cheng Xi, they worked very hard.

Because one patch of Spirit Plants was of the fire element, Feng Huo agreed to let Cheng Xi use a few of her Fire Flame Stones to increase the attributes, so that the fire-element Spirit Plants could grow faster and better.

Cheng Xi finished drawing the Array Diagram and had them place the array stones. When the Array was activated, there was a momentary surge of Spirit Essence across the entire Qingtian Peak.

Yue Chen and Kong Shuanghua were both meditating and vaguely sensed something, immediately opening their eyes. However, that moment vanished in a flash, and the two only thought they had seen things and did not take it to heart.

At this time, Cheng Xi took out the Dragon Blood Fruit that had grown next to the Fire Flame Stone in the cave and planted it in a corner of the Spirit Field. Looking at Feng Huo, she instructed, "Watch over it well. Let it grow for a few more days; I have a use for it once the fruit is fully ripe."

Feng Huo scoffed, "It's just a low-grade Dragon Blood Fruit; what great use could it have? It's a pity the grade of the Fire Flame Stone is too low, it can only nourish low-grade Dragon Blood Fruit. If the grade of the Fire Flame Stone were high, it could nurture the Red Flame Dragon Blood Fruit you want."

Cheng Xi glanced at Feng Huo, "This is only the Mortal Realm; it's not bad to have such things. Since this place is no good, didn't you end up here yourself?"

Mentioning this, Feng Huo was full of grievances. She had just been muddle-headed for a moment and chased after that axe, but in the end, the axe was gone, and she had fallen into the Mortal Realm.

"When will you be able to tear open the void and send me back?" Feng Huo asked.

Cheng Xi's mouth twitched, "Do you think the void belongs to my family, that I can open it whenever I say so? My energy is insufficient right now, so just wait."

Feng Huo:...

Don't think that just because you speak righteously, I can't tell you're lying to me!

"Junior Sister, who are you talking to?"

Yu Xiao's voice came over. Feng Huo instantly dove into Cheng Xi's dantian. Cheng Xi stood up and looked at Yu Xiao, "Second Senior Sister, why are you back at this hour? Did you buy what you needed to buy?"

Yu Xiao's expression sank, "No, someone else bought it first."

Cheng Xi saw that Yu Xiao's expression was very ugly. Remembering that the Second Senior Sister was very enthusiastic and close to her, she asked an extra question, "What did Second Senior Sister want to buy?"

Yu Xiao sighed, "I wanted to buy a Pill to nourish the meridians for Senior Brother. Senior Brother suffers the excruciating pain of injured meridians day and night, yet he is unwilling to let us worry and still has to force a smile every day. I really feel terrible in my heart. I heard that a new Pill had appeared in the market that is effective for this kind of injury, so I thought I would go take a look, but..."

"But what happened?"

"My pockets were empty, and it was snatched away by someone else."

"How many Talisman Beads was that Pill?"

"Fifty thousand, but our Qingtian Peak only has a family fortune of thirty thousand." Yu Xiao said dejectedly, "It's all my fault for being useless; I can't even earn Talisman Beads."

Cheng Xi:...

She just wanted to lie flat.

"However, Junior Sister, you don't need to worry. With me here, I will definitely gather the Talisman Beads for Senior Brother. It's a pity I'm not very good at farming, and Senior Sister isn't very good at it either, the teacher has gone out, and Second Senior Brother only knows how to do manual labor, sigh..."

Cheng Xi's expression gradually became solemn.

She actually wasn't very good at it... either.

"What Pill did you want to buy for Senior Brother?"

"Heavenly Dipper Pulse-Protecting Pill."

Heavenly Dipper Pulse-Protecting Pill?

Cheng Xi blinked her eyes; she knew how to solve this problem!

Just as she was thinking, she saw Baohua run in in a flash, tugging at Cheng Xi's sleeve and wanting to pull her outside.

Yu Xiao was stunned, grabbing Cheng Xi and asking, "Where did this come from?"

Since when did their Qingtian Peak have an extra Wooden Figurine?

When Baohua saw Yu Xiao grabbing Cheng Xi, it became anxious, its eyes turning blood-red, its mouth wide open, "Your fiancé is here, the Regent is here..."
