Chapter 100: Chapter 88: Defection
Jia Xiuchun, recovering from shock, closed her eyes and inhaled deeply to calm her mind and composure, then knelt solemnly in front of Lin Xiangtian.
"May I ask, Elder, where did this prescription co from?"
Lin Xiangtian leaned back casually and said, "Got it from Suiwan."
"May I have her called here for a few questions?"
Lin Xiangtian showed so impatience, "She is in seclusion, breaking through the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer. I asked her before; she didn’t deny it. Shen Huaxi cos from a lineage of dical expertise; it should be found from him."
"Should be?" Jia Xiuchun said with concern, "This matter concerns your safety; there can be no oversight. I’ll have Qii Ming bring Shen Huaxi to clarify imdiately."
"Presumptuous!" Lin Xiangtian shouted angrily, "Are you questioning , or are you simply unwilling to cultivate dicine for ?"
Jia Xiuchun trembled in fear and knelt down, "Xiuchun dares not; I only worry for you. Since...since you are confident, Xiuchun is willing to cultivate dicine for you, even at the cost of her life!"
Jia Xiuchun lay prostrate on the ground devotedly, with only her subtly trembling body revealing her inner fear.
Lin Xiangtian’s expression subtly shifted, while Xiao Ankuo was in disbelief.
Anyone could see that Lin Xiangtian was not truly certain of the prescription’s effectiveness; he didn’t care for Jia Xiuchun, using her rely as a trial.
If successful, Lin Xiangtian would obtain an Upper Three Grades Golden Core. If not, it would only be the death of a concubine.
Lin Xiangtian leaned forward, squinting thoughtfully, "Are you truly willing to cultivate dicine for ?"
Jia Xiuchun straightened her body, forcing down her fear, gazed at Lin Xiangtian with deep affection and utmost concern.
"That year, had you not rescued
from the brothel, I wouldn’t have survived a night under those playboys’ hands. It was you who taught
Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts, enabling
to kill those who tornted . It was you who gave
power and status, enabling
to live with dignity."
"Without you, how could I be who I am today? At best, I’m a Lower Three Grades Foundation Establishnt with no hope for a Golden Core. My life ans little; as long as it serves you, you may take it at any ti, so long as you’re well, I...have no regrets or complaints!"
Lin Xiangtian raised Jia Xiuchun up, "Saving you was the most right thing I’ve done in my life."
Xiao Ankuo was deeply moved, never expecting Jia Xiuchun to be such a loyal and affectionate person.
"Xiao Ankuo."
"Ah? Yes!"
Lin Xiangtian brought Jia Xiuchun to sit beside him, speaking to Xiao Ankuo, "Do you know why I keep you by my side?"
Confused by the developnts thus far, Xiao Ankuo shook his head.
Lin Xiangtian said firmly, "My Elixir Fire is too powerful to control, and I can’t bear to see Xiuchun suffer. Only your Fourth Layer Red Fla Technique is gentle and effective enough, so you must carry out the eighty-one Fire Refinent processes."
"Ah?"
Xiao Ankuo was reluctant; he truly didn’t want to get involved. If discovered by the Law Enforcent Hall, Lin Xiangtian, as a Golden Core Master, could survive, but he would surely be scapegoated.
"Xiao Ankuo!" Jia Xiuchun suddenly shouted sharply, "Don’t forget, I hold evidence against you. If you help Elder succeed, you’ll be rewarded."
Xiao Ankuo cursed inwardly, ’Crazy woman,’ thinking at least it wasn’t him to be tortured, so there was no need to fear.
"Yes, it honors
to cultivate dicine for Elder Lin; I’ll do everything in my power."
Lin Xiangtian placed a small bottle on the table, "Swallow this Elixir, and after the sect competition, I’ll leave you a Foundation Establishnt Elixir. Once the dicine cultivation succeeds, I’ll also give you the antidote."
Foundation Establishnt Elixir!
Xiao Ankuo’s eyes burned with desire; weighing the pros and cons, he resolved himself and swallowed the Elixir.
"Excellent, from now on you’re in the sa boat as . Step back; I’ll find you once I obtain the herb seeds."
Xiao Ankuo exited the side hall and left, while Jia Xiuchun leaned against Lin Xiangtian.
"Xiangtian, I’d willingly die for you, but I must say, Jiang Yuebai that girl cannot be kept—a little wolf cub, I’m sure."
"Alright, I’ll take it to heart. For now, let’s not let these issues affect us..."
"Xiangtian..."
Qii Ming shut the hall doors, quietly listening to the spring tide swell.
anwhile, in the Inner Affairs Hall, a gray-robed girl was hesitating over the recruitnt order to Huaxi Valley.
＊
The western mountain stream of Spiritual Beast Valley.
"Qingfong, stop following . I really can’t take you with ; I don’t even know what to feed you. If you follow , you’ll starve. Wait for Xie Jingshan to return from the Sword Tomb, he’ll bring you ho, okay? Be good~"
After much persuasion, Jiang Yuebai freed her skirt from Qingfong’s mouth, instructing it to return to the Spiritual Beast Valley and find the servant looking after it.
Walking into the mountain stream, Jiang Yuebai realized these Spiritual Beasts may be speechless but are clever and cunning. If afraid of loneliness, raising a group of Spiritual Beasts could be entertaining.
