Chapter 205 - 195
Unfolding in Chapter 205 of "Spiritual Energy Rejuvenation: I Began Cultivating By Farming": âMmm, how fragrant, how fragrant.â Xuanyuan Mengting had only taken a small sip of tea... Keep reading!
âMmm, how fragrant, how fragrant.â Xuanyuan Mengting had only taken a small sip of tea when she felt the rich spiritual energy of the teaâs fragrance rush into her body and dantian, realizing that one sip of tea was far more useful than a whole Spirit Supplement Pill.
Her heart marveled, wondering if a single cup of tea could have such a powerful effect.
After finishing the cup, would it be equivalent to many Spirit Supplement Pills?
The Vitality Flowerâs qi from a few days ago had caused her stagnant cultivation to show signs of growth.
Reaching the peak of the Golden Core and needing to ascend to the Nascent Soul, she had been striving for a long time, constantly searching for opportunities.
During this recent detoxification event, she learned about what she needed.
After Jiang Tangâs shop opened, he auctioned off precious Vitality Pills.
She used her pocket money to buy an extremely high-quality Vitality Pill at a high price.
This pill was refined so well that its effects were greater than those of lower quality medicines of the same type.
Xuanyuan Mengting couldnât help but admire the alchemy skills required to create such excellent pills.
Although she herself was not an alchemist, there were alchemists in her family, so she knew that not every alchemist could produce such fine pills, nor could a high-level alchemist guarantee the production of such quality medicine.
Alchemists have different ranks: first, second, third grade, mid-grade, high-grade, exceptional master, and Alchemy Immortal Master.
When Xuanyuan Mengting acquired this pill, she recognized it as the kind that only a legendary Alchemy Immortal Master could have crafted, and she deeply admired the abilities of this alchemist.
She later investigated Jiang Tang and learned that just over a month ago, he won an alchemy contest against Hua Sheng, outperforming the elites of the Medicine Sect.
Despite just being a Servant Disciple of the North City Immortal Sect, his story seemed quite peculiar.
She also inquired about him through connections at the North City Immortal Sect; Jiang Tang was indeed working there as a promising Servant Disciple and had rumors about him within the sect.
For a commoner to open a shop and continually sell Magical Treasures, his behavior was enigmatic.
If he hadnât concealed his cultivation level before, he would have been merely a Qi Refining Realm seventh-level disciple with Mixed Spiritual Roots.
His rapid rise in cultivation over just over a month was truly bewildering.
This question also aroused the curiosity of many in the Cultivation World, and they had asked Jiang Tang about it.
They heard that he encountered danger and entered a mysterious space, which caused his cultivation to soar so high.
Hearing such an incredible tale, while skeptical, those in the Cultivation World wished they could be in his place.
If everyone could advance so rapidly in just over a month, how difficult could Ascension be?
Driven by curiosity, Xuanyuan Mengting consumed the pill and entered seclusion.
The surge of vitality she felt enter her body made her previous spiritual energy denser and purer.
After circulating her bodyâs spiritual energy once around, her meridians reverberated with a popping sound.
That one pill helped her break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Overjoyed by this breakthrough and once she had consolidated her cultivation, Xuanyuan Mengting sought Jiang Tang amidst the praise and blessings of others, but her attempts to find him were in vain several times.
She hadnât expected it to be so difficult to meet Jiang Tang; seeing him was even harder than seeing the old ancestor in her family.
Xuanyuan Mengting was oblivious to how her curiosity was making her appear too enthusiastic.
The heart of a young girl is always poetic.
Coming from a powerful and prominent family, Xuanyuan Mengting, despite her higher cultivation, was no naĂŻve maiden inexperienced in the Martial World.
She couldnât pinpoint whether her feelings for Jiang Tang were out of curiosity or admiration, but she knew one thingâshe wanted to befriend him.
Moreover, she was aware that her proactive approach to seeking out a man was not something daughters of ordinary people would do, as men and women in their Cultivation Realm observed different social protocols.
Her family was aware of her intentions.
Her mother summoned her and implied that they wanted to bring this person into the fold as a guest of their family.
Whether this guest could rise in status depended on Jiang Tangâs potential value and whether he could join their family and, more importantly, if he could become Xuanyuan Mengtingâs husband.
âMiss Xuanyuan Mengting, do you know where I can buy rare Spirit Grass seeds?â
âJiang Tang, youâve asked the right personâour familyâs shop does sell unusual seeds, but Iâm not sure whether theyâre for planting herbs or for spellcasting?â
âI wonât hide it from you; Iâm hoping to cultivate them as well as use them for casting spells.â
âMay I know where you plan on planting these herbs, Jiang Tang?â
âWell, thatâs a secret for now.
If I get some good seeds, who knows, I might just buy fields and lands specifically for growing herbs to supply the store.â
âJiang Tang, are you still a cultivator?
How can a person dedicated to cultivation get entangled in such mundane affairs?
That will affect your practice.â
âItâs alright.
Farming can also be an entertaining pastime.
Cultivation is so tedious, tending to flowers and plants occasionally can bring joy.â
âYouâre not suggesting that gardening could also increase your cultivation, are you?â
âIndeed, all things in the world come with their own opportunities.
The path of cultivation is long and winding; it canât always be too dull.â
âJiang Tang, I find you quite fascinating.
Iâll take your word for it, for now.
Come on!
Iâll take you to buy some seeds.â
âOkay.â
Xuanyuan Mengting walked out of the room enthusiastically, leading the way, with Jiang Tang following behind.
Just then, a familiar face entered the shop.
âJiang Tang, youâve finally come out.
Iâve been here a few times but never caught you.
Where are you and Xuanyuan Mengting off to?â The visitor was Yan Weiwei, who had been pleasantly surprised since the day she saw Jiang Tang, who was once dead, alive again.
When she returned to her sectâs home, she examined the hairpin that Jiang Tang had given her.
Without close inspection, she would not have realized that it was a storage hairpin, quite spacious at two square feet, filled with various bottles and jars.
Upon opening one bottle, she was astonished.
It contained a Vitality Pill that could fetch a high price at auction; if it werenât for Jiang Tangâs bulk auction, it might have been priceless.
Yan Weiwei found her space filled with many such pills, among other kinds of pills.
She realized that Jiang Tang was too generous with her.
She wanted to return some of them to him, so he could sell them.
But since she couldnât find him, she had no choice but to consume a Vitality Pill to enhance her cultivation.
The pillâs effect was incredible; she had been stuck in the Mid Foundation Establishment phase for a long time, and this single pill propelled her from the Foundation Establishment Stage all the way to the Golden Core Stage, leaping several small stages.
Yan Weiwei solidified her Golden Core cultivation and received blessings from her fellow disciples in the sect.
She then visited her master, the Golden Core Elder, and informed him that she wanted to find Jiang Tang.
Her master, already hearing in recent days that Yan Weiwei and Jiang Tang were closeâstemming from Jiang Tangâs assistance during his time as a Servant Discipleâapproved of his discipleâs good fortune.
He supported his discipleâs pursuit of better prospects and quietly sanctioned her to seek out Jiang Tang and find opportunities.
âYan, Miss Xuanyuan Mengting said their store has seeds for sale; we were just planning to have a look around.â
âJiang Tang, Iâd like to see as well, may I?â
Jiang Tang nodded at Yan Weiwei, then addressed Xuanyuan Mengting:
âMiss Xuanyuan Mengting, you donât mind if my senior sister comes along, do you?â
