The Spiritual Plant Master Transmigration

Chapter 70 All about the Second Branch of Xiao Family (I)

“Mom, how are things going in the second branch?” seeing Liu Xian coming back, Xiao Muhong couldn’t wait to ask.

“Xiao Jingting and Xiao Qingyan have totally turned against each other, and Xiao Jinfeng is entirely on Xiao Jingting’s side. But Xiao Jinfeng is not considered important, so no matter which side he’s on, there’s no significant influence on Xiao Linfeng and Wang Lu.”

“Oh, That’s it.”

“I got angry while watching today’s family ‘show’. It should be discovered by Xiao Jingting, that fool, that I had schemed against him and given him the farmland with problems intentionally, and he was exposing that to Xiao Linfeng and Wang Lu today, which made Wang Lu stared at me with murderous eyes.” That guy also took the chance to blackmail her, two thousand taels of silver. That’s not too much for Liu Xian, the problem was, it’s a shame to her.

Liu Xian clenched her handkerchief and thought that Wang Lu must have born grudge against her this time, and maybe Wang Lu would torture her further, given that Wang Lu was such a ruthless woman. How hateful it was! How could that woman still be alive after falling off a cliff? What a long-lasting curse it was!

“If I’d known this beforehand, I would totally root out and kill Xiao Jingting,” Xiao Muhong said in a gloomy tone.

Recently, Xiao Muhong had seen Xiao Jingting several times, and felt that Xiao Jingting had been reshaped to a brand-new person. And Xiao Muhong thought that the current biggest threat to him was not Xiao Qingyan, but Xiao Jingting.

Liu Xian nodded, “Yeah! What a shame! If only we hadn’t underestimated him and had kept close watch on him.”

The guy Xiao Jingting was even willing to sell the Heaven Wealth and Land Treasure. If she had kept close watch on him and intercepted the Heaven Wealth and Land Treasure, her own son could have advanced to level six of Qi Practice…What’s done is done, it was too late to regret. Fortunately, it did not fall into Xiao Qingyan’s hands anyway.

“Mom, Xiao Jingting has spent over a hundred thousand taels of silver to buy an artifact today, and they said it’s mostly designed for cowards—just hide into the spiritual tower when something goes wrong, and then everything will be fine,” Xiao Muhong said jealously and contemptuously.

Liu Xian gnashed her teeth and said, “That guy used to play around with prostitutes, but I don’t know why, now he actually becomes a person of highly-motivated.”

Xiao Muhong nodded, “Yeah. And as he becomes highly-motivated, he becomes more thoughtful than before as well.”

“Where’s your wife?” asked Liu Xian.

“She’s practicing.” Xiao Muhong said. Before Xiao Jingting came back, he used to get on quite well with Sun Miaomiao. But after Xiao Jingting’s coming back, he felt that she became estranged from him suddenly.

……

Looking at the title deed for land and spiritual tower in front of him, Xiao Jingting said, “The parents are just too partial.” Anyway, the original body owner was not the least favored in the family.

Xu Muan nodded, “Yeah!” Xiao Jingting had received 10 mu of high-quality farmland and 20 mu of medium-quality land and 30 mu of low-quality land, while Xiao Jinfeng had received only half of Xiao Jingting’s and Xiao Qingyan had received double what Xiao Jingting had.

Xiao Linfeng and Wang Lu were both master of spiritual plants, and if they had wholeheartedly looked after the spiritual farmland, they could have had a good harvest every year. But given their levels of power, the resources they needed generally couldn’t be gained by money.

In this world, people had better physical fitness than those on Earth since they could do self-cultivation, but they could live merely as long as those on Earth. Cultivators with level 9 of Qi Practice could only live around 100 years at most, but a foundation-stage cultivator may live to 200 years old.

In order to live a longer life, no talented cultivator would be content with a plain life, and certainly Xiao Linfeng and Wang Lu were no exception. Much of the time, they just wandered around to seek opportunities to advance.

Xiao Linfeng and Wang Lu’s farmland were largely let out. But given Xiao Linfeng and Wang Lu’s ability, they could easily gain good harvest by using some magic technique to the farmland.

“Fortunately, second brother doesn’t mind that,” said Xiao Jingting.

But Xu Muan lowed his head and said in mind: It’s hard to say whether he doesn’t care that or he’s frustrated about that.

“How about Xiaofan?”

“The little Fire Cloud Bird has got hurt, Xiaofan is kind of sad for that and is accompanying it,” said Xu Muan.

Xiao Jingting shook his head and said, “Xiaofan and Yuerong can’t get along by nature, things can go wrong if we just leave them together.”

Xu Muan nodded, “When we finally get the farmland, let’s move out.”

“That’s what I was thinking. We need to start our work quickly; it’s not a joke to pay a debt of ten to twenty thousand taels of silver a month.” Leaving these two kids at Xiao family was just like leaving two time-bombs at home.

Xiao Jingting turned the spiritual tower over and over in his hand, looked at Xu Muan and asked, “Muan, in your judgment, is it a right choice to buy this spiritual tower?”

Xu Muan nodded, “Of course it’s.”

“Why?” asked Xiao Jingting.

“It can be used as being only for show! With an advanced artifact like this, it can have plenty of untapped functions, and it will not be that surprising for you to do better in farming than others later.”

Looking at Xu Muan, Xiao Jingting thought to himself: Xu Muan is really a clever one, then I must not expose the secret of his jade space. Xiao Jingting speculated that his being able to survive and incarnate on this body was mainly due to this jade. And the jade must have other functions he hadn’t found.

In fact, the spiritual spring in the jade space was the key to his doing well in spiritual plants growing, but he owed it to the spiritual tower.

“Dear, you’re so smart!” said Xiao Jingting.

Xu Muan smiled faintly, “By the way, I have got rid of most the books in your room. Some of them have actually no copies exited. At last I got 600 taels of silver from selling these books. Although it’s less than ten thousand taels, it’s better than nothing.”

Xiao Jingting said, “That’s very kind of you. Thanks for your hard work…” Xiao Jingting knew quite well that the books being got rid of by Xu Muan were all collections of erotica of the original body owner. Damn, erotica collections could be worth so much! And there were even only existing copies of them! What a dirty world!

“I have also picked out some useful books for you, you can check it out when you have time,” said Xu Muan.

Xiao Jingting nodded, “Okay.”
