Chapter 238 The Trip to Su Baozhai

Senior Brother Li was drinking tea in the wooden house when he saw Pei Xia return from afar. He didn't say anything until his junior brother entered the house, then he stood up with a smile and bowed to Pei Xia.

"Junior Brother Pei, congratulations," he looked Pei Xia up and down, his expression satisfied, clicking his tongue in satisfaction, "It's only been two months, and you've already reached the Profound Realm."

Pei Xia returned the greeting with folded arms: "Just lucky."

Pei Xia was already on the verge of a breakthrough when he first entered the sect. In Li Qi's eyes, it was because he had Huang Bing's Hunling Pill that he was able to break through to the Tongxuan realm, which took two months.

This talent... is rather ordinary.

It's estimated that reaching the Profound Realm is his limit; he probably won't have much of a chance to shatter the inner cauldron and achieve the Spiritual Mansion in this lifetime.

Despite thinking this in his heart, Li Qi still smiled and patted Pei Xia's shoulder affectionately: "So you see, there are always benefits to improving your cultivation. If you hadn't broken through, this good thing might not have happened to you."

He composed himself and his tone became slightly more serious: "Su Baozhai is currently holding a Divine Treasures Celebration, during which many rare items have appeared. In addition to elixirs and miraculous medicines, there are also profound treasures and magical artifacts. Cultivators from Maizhou, and even Youzhou and Yuezhou, will be going to participate. The sect leader is thinking of our old friendship and asked me to ask you if you would be interested in going to broaden your horizons and see the world?"

The sect leader has a question for you.

Do you think the sect leader is really asking you a question?
Pei Xia gave a forced smile and twitched the corner of her mouth: "Me alone?"

“Ah no, your Martial Aunt Ji Shaofu from Pivot Star Peak will be traveling with you,” Li Qi said slowly. “We were supposed to set off today, but Martial Aunt Ji suddenly had an opportunity and is rebuilding her Spiritual Mansion. My master has already gone to see her. She was just one step away from completing it, and this time the inner cauldron was broken very thoroughly. In the next few days, she should be able to open her mansion.”

Pei Xia wasn't a newcomer to the Changjing Sect; she already knew Ji Shaofu, an inner sect elder of the Pivot Star Peak, whom she had met once before.

In terms of cultivation level, this woman is only considered to be in the middle tier among the inner sect elders, but she has a close relationship with the sect leader, making her a rather special individual.

"They specially sent her there..." Pei Xia asked cautiously, "Sect Leader, is there any rare and precious treasure you'd like to see?"

Li Qi pointed his finger and nodded at him with a smile: "You're really clever, kid. Not bad. This time, the Divine Treasure Celebration will have a Netherworld Flower auctioned off as the grand finale. Master said that, without affecting the sect's grand plan, we should spare no effort to bring this Netherworld Flower back."

Youshen flower!
One of the top spiritual seeds in Kyushu.

If Pei Xia were truly a novice in the martial arts world, she wouldn't even understand its effects.

But now it seems that Huang Binghui's urgent need for this kind of thing must be due to a long-standing, incurable injury in his body.

Li Qi said, "Make more preparations in the next few days. As soon as Uncle Ji comes out of seclusion, you should set off immediately."

After saying that, Li Qi walked out of the wooden house and waved goodbye.

Han Youzhi, who had been leaning against the door and heard everything clearly, tilted her head to look at him: "You Shen Hua, is that You Shen Hua?"

Pei Xia nodded: "This is not an easy job."

Frankly speaking, Huang Bing treated Pei Xia quite well; he didn't do anything to wrong her.

Despite the agreement made with the wooden plaque, Pei Xia was willing to help him when she could, since he had given her a place to stay.

But just as Huang Bing said, "at all costs," for many people with hidden illnesses and old injuries, the struggle for the Ghostly Flower is of paramount importance.

Old Han clicked his tongue and said, "Even someone at the Heavenly Consciousness Realm wouldn't be able to reliably bring this flower back, would they?"

It wouldn't be surprising if some powerful figure from another family came out to fight for such a treasure.

"Huang Bing's vision is still too narrow. He probably doesn't realize that a treasure of the level of the Netherworld Flower isn't something you can just buy or bid on..."

Pei Xia sighed, "Forget it, I'll do my best and leave the rest to fate. I'll try my best to adapt to the situation." Compared to the Netherworld Flower, this Divine Treasure Celebration seems like a good opportunity to make friends.

We'll see which young talents are worth keeping an eye on, get to know them, and they'll be there to help us when we enter the Illusionary Realm.

Han Youzhi nodded while thinking, "What about this cave dwelling..."

"You and Pear can stay," Pei Xia said.

Old Han was taken aback, and Lu Li next to him was also slightly surprised, but she quickly realized what was going on.

"It's just a short-term job, it won't take long. You and Pear can stay here and let her help you lift the ban on snake breeders."

Han Youzhi tilted her head and twirled her sideburns with her fingers: "You... won't get into trouble going alone?"

Pei Xia was both amused and exasperated: "Please, Su Baozhai is a sect under the jurisdiction of Lingxuan Pavilion. Who would dare to cause trouble there?"

The Spirit Selection Pavilion is the most prestigious sect in the world, not inferior to the Holy Palace with its twelve Heavenly Senses. It's hard to imagine anyone wanting to provoke this behemoth.

Pei Xia patted her clothes and stood up: "Let's take advantage of these few days to prepare some things that will sell well. We'll see if there's anything we can use at the Divine Treasures Festival, so we won't be short of money later."

During Pei Xia's seclusion, the stench had lessened considerably because the foul water had run out and the medicinal herbs had piled up, and the fragrance of the herbs had diluted the smell.

Taking stock of the cave's resources, there were quite a few jade ginseng and xuanji grass, as well as planted dragon heart vines, dragon heart fruits, and spirit observation seeds sold by weight.

Both dragon heart vine and dragon heart fruit are top-grade materials that are in high demand and short supply, so there's no worry about finding a market for them. You can bring some to the Divine Treasures Festival to exchange for them.

Although the spirit rice is a good thing, it's really inconvenient for him to carry around in kilograms.

What's more troublesome are the extra jade ginseng and Xuanji grass that helped Pei Xia break through to the Tongxuan realm.

The spiritual materials are all of excellent quality, but their uses are limited, so it might not be easy to sell them.

Lu Li, who was standing next to Pei Xia, glanced back at the entrance of the cave. Seeing that Han Youzhi had not followed her in, she whispered, "We can take her to the Jade Palace and exchange her for some odds and ends. It's better to lose a little than to have her rot in our hands."

Indeed, since it is a top-grade spiritual medicine, it would be a good thing to exchange it for some ordinary materials to refine some more commonly used pills and magical artifacts.

Without further ado, Pei Xia tried to put the remaining jade ginseng and Xuanji grass in the cave into the jade pendant.

But difficulties soon arose.

The space in the two jade pendants is becoming increasingly insufficient. Pei Xia already has many unspeakable things inside, such as divine machines, wine sacs, blood beads, brain worms, and crystal elixir. Now, if she tries to stuff in a jade ginseng the size of a radish, there simply won't be enough room.

Pei Xia sighed, "If only jade could be sold at this Divine Treasures Celebration."

The longer Pei Xia uses the Jadeite Jadeite of the Jade Palace, the more she feels that it is truly the most top-tier magical artifact.

It can store computing chips and allow one to wield power and influence within the Jade Palace.

It can be used to hide secrets, and the space is convenient and quick to store items.

Normally, when you walk around in the Jade Palace, there are people everywhere, and it seems like there are at least a hundred people holding jade. But in real life, you can't see a single one.

Why don't you bring a few more Qiu Shengs?
