Chapter 49 - Eldest Senior Brother

Chapter 49: Chapter 47: Eldest Senior BrotherYe Qiu sat on the Flying Boat, watching the Third Elder at the bow in a dusty gray robe, holding a pitch-black sword, recalling the Immortal Tower and those colorful Fei Xian Dresses he saw with Brother Shun Hua when they strolled through Flying Sword City, and he suddenly fell silent.

He didn’t expect the Third Elder, who practices the Heartless Sword, also had a girlish heart. It was said that the dress was personally designed by the Third Elder, and Ye Qiu immediately felt a surge of respect.

"Hehe, disillusioned, aren’t you!" Shun Hua appeared beside Ye Qiu without him noticing, seeing him staring at the Third Elder, he instantly understood and made faces at him.

"Behave properly, what kind of look is that?" Shun Ying couldn’t stand her brother’s goofy appearance and chided coquettishly.

"Is everyone ready? If there are no problems, then we set off now." Third Elder said coldly towards Ye Qiu and the others, making their hearts tighten, and they dared not discuss further.

Everyone actually holds great respect for the Third Elder, after all, she’s the only female Cultivator in the Mahayana Realm in current Cultivation World. It’s said that she changed to practicing the Heartless Sword after being betrayed by a man when she was young, her swordsmanship fierce and ruthless, intimidating all directions. seaʀᴄh thё Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It’s just that everyone suddenly discovering her girlish heart, which conflicts with their image of a cold and authoritative elder, sparked their curiosity. There was certainly no malice intended, which might be why the Third Elder didn’t pursue their queries further. Progressive juniors are always endearing; a bit of unrestrained behavior is understandable.

Medicine Sect stands tall in Medicine King Valley, where the Spiritual Energy is abundant and the climate is warm, very suitable for the growth of Spirit Plants. Its cities are also the biggest marketplaces for medicinal materials and Elixirs in the Cultivation World, a paradise for all Pill Refiners, alongside Flying Sword City at the foot of Jiange Mountain, both are among the five great cities in the Cultivation World.

Sword Pavilion, as the premier sect in the Cultivation World, sent their Flying Boat directly to Medicine King Valley, where elders from the Medicine Pavilion were already there to greet them.

"Elder Shuanghua, welcome, welcome!" The Medicine Pavilion was very pleased to welcome the only female Cultivator in the Mahayana Realm from the Sword Pavilion to celebrate the Medicine Pavilion Great Elder’s promotion ceremony, their aged faces filled with smiles.

Third Elder nodded, her tone stiff: "Sorry to disturb, congratulations!"

The Medicine Pavilion didn’t mind the Third Elder’s perfunctory attitude, since her cultivation of the Heartless Sword was well-known to all.

"We have arranged several courtyards specially for Sword Pavilion, please follow me, Elder Shuanghua."

Ye Qiu and the other Low-level Disciples closely followed, maintaining the sect’s dignified style, without taking any extra glances.

"Let’s go, junior brother, let’s go out and see," Shun Hua said, leading Shun Ying to coax Ye Qiu out as soon as they saw off the Medicine Pavilion’s disciples.

"I heard that the scenery of the Medicine Pavilion is unmatched, let’s go and see it quickly," Shun Hua said eagerly.

"Let’s go!" Third Elder didn’t order them to stay indoors, presumably she also wanted to show them the world, and since the Medicine Pavilion was host to a celebration, security would be tight, and likely nothing could go wrong.

"No wonder all Pill Refiners want to enter the Medicine Pavilion, look at the Spirit Plants by the roadside, all are five hundred years old," Shun Hua remarked, looking at the spirit flowers swaying in the wind, his mind stirred.

"We should also buy some Spirit Plants to grow!" Ye Qiu thought of Little Wood Spirit striving to expand territories back at Snow Mountain, and decided to bring some gifts back, these flowers are quite beautiful, that little thing would probably like them, right?

"There’s a flower seller up ahead, let’s go take a look," Ye Qiu’s suggestion matched Shun Hua’s intention, holding Ye Qiu with his left hand, and leading his sister with the right, they headed towards the most crowded area.

"Shopkeeper, how much for this?" Ye Qiu asked about a Spirit Plant planted in a Spirit Stone pot, this Spirit Plant was entirely silver, its body resembling a small snake, seemingly breathing in and out Spiritual Energy, emitting a faint glow, clearly not a cheap item.

"One thousand." The shopkeeper, seeing that Ye Qiu and his group didn’t look wealthy, lazily said.

"One thousand low-grade spirit stones, that’s not too expensive." Shun Hua muttered under his breath, wondering in his heart what kind of plant this was, looking like a snake, so strange.

"Hmph, I meant one thousand top-grade spirit stones," the shopkeeper glanced at Shun Hua disdainfully, clearly finding them ignorant. He frequently had people asking for prices in his shop, but few could actually afford it; gradually, he lost patience to deal with them.

"Oh my!" Shun Hua was taken aback by the price, "Are you robbing me, boss?"

A mid-grade Spirit Stone is worth twenty low-grade spirit stones, and a top-grade Spirit Stone is worth fifty mid-grade Spirit Stones; that’s a million low-grade spirit stones for these thousand top-grade Spirit Stones!

Is this plant supposed to make one ascend to the heavens or what, it’s so expensive!

"You know nothing!" The old shopkeeper snorted coldly: "This is the Silver Snake Spirit Vine aged three thousand years, a high-level Spirit Plant that can transform a snake into a Jiao. There’s only this one here besides in the Demon World, take it or leave it."

Shun Hua’s face turned red from the shopkeeper’s words, but although the Spirit Plant was impressive, it was of no use to human cultivators like him, and he lost interest.

Then he heard his adorably naive junior brother decisively throw out a storage bag: "I’ll take it!"

"Why do you want this?" Shun Hua was heartbroken, money shouldn’t be spent like this.

"It looks pretty good, I’ll buy it to use as a potted plant in the house," Ye Qiu said carelessly, acting like a prodigal child.

The old shopkeeper indeed saw him that way, but business is business, why bother with so much else.

Just as Ye Qiu was leaving with the Silver Snake Spirit Vine, a man and a woman rushed into the store anxiously the next moment.

"Old man, where’s that Spirit Plant that looked like a little snake that I saw this morning?" The beautiful girl turned around and didn’t see it, then asked impatiently with a tone that was somewhat harsh.

"Junior sister, Master said not to lose your temper with strangers," The handsome man beside her frowned and scolded, then apologized repeatedly to the old shopkeeper, "I’m sorry, sir, my junior sister is young and immature, please don’t take it to heart. But that Spirit Plant is really important to us, please tell us who took it!"

Hearing this, the old shopkeeper finally looked at them seriously and said indifferently, "You’re too late, the Silver Snake Spirit Vine has been sold."

"What!" The girl’s complexion turned pale, then filled with anger, who dares to compete with her for it!

Hearing this, the young man also tensed up, and quickly asked, "Could you please tell us who bought the Spirit Plant?"

The old shopkeeper glanced at him, his voice cold, "I don’t know, I don’t recognize him, but it looked like a very rich little kid."

"Could you tell us his cultivation stage and what color clothes he was wearing?" The young man noticed the shopkeeper’s expression becoming more serious and displeased, and quickly added, "Please rest assured, sir, we’re not looking for trouble, it’s just that the Spirit Plant is very important to us, and we want to buy it from him."

"Hmm!" The old shopkeeper nodded, seemingly satisfied with his attitude, and said, "The person who bought the Silver Snake Spirit Vine was a kid in a snow-white robe, about seven or eight years old, at the Foundation Establishment Stage."

"A seven or eight-year-old at the Foundation Establishment Stage?" The young man was shocked, since when did such a prodigy appear in the Cultivation World? But if it really was a seven or eight-year-old kid at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he might be easier to find.

"Thank you for informing us," the young man bowed and led his fellow disciple out.

"Big brother, why be so polite to an old man," the charming girl grumbled discontentedly.

"Shut your mouth," the young man seemed to have no more patience with her, "If you hadn’t lost your temper this morning causing us to be late, would we have missed the Silver Snake Spirit Vine?"

"It wasn’t on purpose," the girl pouted, feeling wronged inside. Why was her brother so fierce with her? Besides, they were the daughter and chief disciple of the Spirit Beast Sect leader; surely that kid’s sect would give them face and let them have it.

The young man, unlike his junior sister, didn’t think it was that easy. A sect capable of nurturing an eight-year-old Foundation Establishment genius, could it be simple?
