Jiang Ruoxu was utterly speechless.
But he couldn’t say anything, after all, his master had ended up in this state to save him.
"Bro, there’s actually something I need to ask of you," Jiang Ruoxu cut straight to the point, his tone extremely humble.
"What is it?"
"Bro, I know you’re incredibly powerful, with strong connections, and a mysterious master..."
"Cut the crap, get to the point!"
Jiang Che’s impatient voice nearly scared Jiang Ruoxu out of his wits.
"Bro, do you have any Spirit-Nourishing Pills? Preferably perfect-grade ones? You know what they are, right?"
"Spirit-Nourishing Pills? What do you need those for? Those pills only work on the soul—only those who’ve reached the Divine Realm can cultivate a soul. At best, you’re just a Grandmaster now, aren’t you?"
Jiang Che deliberately probed, as his real goal was to lure out the beautiful master behind his little brother.
A supreme-grade Spirit-Nourishing Pill cost 500,000 points in Jiang Che’s system—he wasn’t about to just give it away for free.
If Jiang Ruoxu’s master turned out to be hideous, then sorry... she could go kick rocks!
Jiang Che was an extreme looks-connoisseur, and he only invested where it counted. If he was going to drop 500,000 points, he at least needed to see this mysterious master first.
Jiang Ruoxu froze at Jiang Che’s question.
Then he tensed up—was Jiang Che implying he had to confess his master’s existence?
"Bro, you’re my one and only bro! Can’t you just help me out this once? I know you’ve got the means—you can definitely get your hands on a Spirit-Nourishing Pill. Just do me this favor?"
The kid was going all out, shamelessly throwing dignity to the wind.
"Come over. Meet me at the Jiang residence."
With just that one line, Jiang Che hung up.
On the other end, Jiang Ruoxu stared at his phone. "Master... my brother hung up on me!"
[Foolish disciple, your brother obviously knows about Spirit-Nourishing Pills. And he most likely can get one—otherwise, he wouldn’t have told you to come.]
Jiang Ruoxu scratched his head. "Really?"
Mo Lianxing was speechless. Sometimes, she really wanted to slap some sense into this idiot disciple.
Relying on him, she’d probably never get her revenge in this lifetime.
"But... but Master, what if he asks when I see him? I feel like no excuse would fool him."
[Heh, so you do realize you can’t fool him? Then just admit it. If Young Master Jiang really has a Spirit-Nourishing Pill... I might as well show myself to thank him.]
Mo Lianxing’s words shocked Jiang Ruoxu. After all... he’d known his master for years, yet he’d only ever heard her voice—never seen her face.
But just from her voice alone, he could tell she was definitely a stunning celestial beauty.
"Master, maybe you shouldn’t show yourself? My brother’s a bit of a... ladies’ man. He’s got a lot of women at home. What if he takes a liking to you and uses the pill to pressure you? Ah—no, Master, I overstepped."
Clearly, Jiang Ruoxu knew his cousin all too well—the man was a full-blown skirt-chaser. If his master really was a gorgeous fairy, she’d absolutely catch Jiang Che’s eye.
Honestly, he wasn’t keen on the whole "master becomes sister-in-law" scenario.
[You wretched disciple! What nonsense are you spouting?!]
Mo Lianxing was both flustered and furious!
[And what’s wrong with a man having a few romantic companions? That’s perfectly normal!]
Mo Lianxing felt outright insulted. Her soul was five thousand years old—she’d cultivated for three millennia in another world before her enemies nearly shattered her soul, forcing her to hide in a soul-nurturing ring for two thousand years.
Her Dao heart had long hardened like steel, impervious to mortal desires!
How could she possibly be interested in some twenty-year-old brat?
Jiang Ruoxu was speechless. A few romantic companions?
Just wait till you see the Jiang residence—hope you’re ready for a shock!
......
Jiang Ruoxu moved quickly, wasting no time. In less than an hour, he arrived at Jiang Che’s doorstep.
"Young Master Jiang, our master has been expecting you."
Several maids in gothic-style uniforms smiled as they opened the gates.
Even the gardeners in the Jiang estate were top-tier in looks.
Originally, these maids were around 80/100 in beauty, but as Jiang Che’s personal attendants, he had to take care of them too—bestowing them with youth-preserving elixirs. After the upgrade, each maid’s looks had soared to around 90/100!
As for the women Jiang Che had claimed? Every single one was at least 98/100, if not perfect 100s!
Though Jiang Ruoxu was only sixteen, right in the throes of adolescence, he had zero interest in romance. The only thing that excited him was breaking through in martial arts!
"Alright, take me to my brother."
Nervously, Jiang Ruoxu rubbed the soul-nurturing ring on his finger.
But as he passed through the front garden, his mind went completely blank.
An overwhelming surge of spiritual energy hit him head-on. Jiang Ruoxu had never encountered spiritual energy before—now, bathed in such an immense concentration, every cell in his body seemed to breathe it in, absorbing it greedily.
His Grandmaster-late-stage cultivation, which he’d only broken through an hour ago, instantly stabilized further.
"What... what is this?!"
Dumbfounded, Jiang Ruoxu spun around, his wide eyes locking onto the glowing spirit fields—fields planted with thousand-year Vermilion Fruit Trees.
These trees, nourished by the spirit fields for so long, had undergone another transformation, evolving into true spirit trees!
Their branches were laden with Vermilion Fruits, which had also transformed from ordinary fruits into spirit fruits.
[Spirit fields!!! Supreme-grade spirit fields?! How does he have these?! Such supreme-grade spirit fields shouldn’t exist in a world where spiritual energy has long dried up! This defies all logic!]
Inside the soul-nurturing ring, Mo Lianxing gasped in disbelief.
Even in her past life in the cultivation world, only a handful of immortal sects possessed spirit fields of this quality—and even then, they were reserved for nurturing ten-thousand-year spirit herbs...
[To plant Vermilion Fruit Trees in such supreme-grade spirit fields?! What a waste of heaven’s gifts!!!]
Even with Mo Lianxing’s vast experience, she was utterly stunned.
[Spirit-Sealing Formation?! He even set up a Spirit-Sealing Formation?! No wonder... the spiritual energy here is so dense, yet undetectable outside. So that’s how it is.]
In an instant, Jiang Che became an enigma in Mo Lianxing’s eyes.
Just what kind of being was the master behind him?!
Supreme-grade Marrow-Cleansing Pills handed out like candy, and now a massive supreme-grade spirit field with a Spirit-Sealing Formation?!
world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.
