Chapter 206: 206
North District Spiritual Medicine Garden.
“You’re back?” Qiu Yun looked at Xiao Jingting with some inquiry in his eyes.
“Yes! I heard that Steward Qiu has advanced to the Golden Core realm. Congratulations!” Xiao Jingting cupped his hand and spoke graciously.
Qiu Yun smiled coldly and said, “It’s just Golden Core, no big deal. If I hadn’t been dragged down by the Xuan Yang Fire Poison, I would not have advanced to Golden Core only now.”
“Steward Qiu has outstanding talent, so advancing to Golden Core is naturally expected.” Hearing Qiu Yun mention Xuan Yang Fire Poison so frankly, Xiao Jingting was slightly shocked. Although he knew that Qiu Yun might be troubled by Xuan Yang Fire Poison and was not able to advance because of it, hearing him mention it so frankly, he was still a bit surprised.
Qiu Yun laughed and said, “Sooner or later, you will have such a day too.”
“Steward Qiu, I’m flattered. In fact, my aptitude is not very good, so I am afraid it will not be easy for me to achieve Golden Core.” Xiao Jingting said with a helpless smile.
Qiu Yun waved his hand and said, “It doesn’t matter if your aptitude is not good, as long as you have a good luck. Young Master Xiao looks like a person with strong luck.”
“Steward Qiu, you overestimated me.” Xiao Jingting said.
“I am not flattering you. Nine out of ten mining slaves captured by the Devil Blood Sect died on the island this time. Not only did your two sons escape from the island, but were also sent back in style by a Nascent Soul elder. This all should be credited to you,” Qiu Yun said with a smile.
“I don’t have any credit in this! Steward Qiu must be joking.” Xiao Jingting frowned and didn’t say anything else. Facing Qiu Yun, Xiao Jingting always felt an invisible pressure, which was much more powerful than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Qiu Yun looked at Xiao Jingting’s lowered head and obedient appearance of not having anything else to say, so Qiu Yun said, “Since you have returned, the matter of looking after the spiritual medicine garden will still be left to you as usual.”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Alright!”
Xiao Jingting thought: Having made a fortune on the island, he won’t need to worry about the spirit stones now. In the spirit medicine garden, he can harvest all kinds of spiritual herb seeds, as well as all the spiritual herbs that are useful for the Foundation Building cultivators can be found here. It’s a good place.
Qiu Yun looked at Xiao Jingting and said, “I heard that top-grade spirit stones appeared on that island this time?”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes! Unfortunately, I only heard about it and was not able to see it. It’s really a pity.”
Qiu Yun sneered and said, “You just wanted to take a look? Didn’t you want to keep it for yourself?”
Xiao Jingting smiled awkwardly and said, “Of course I want it. But this thing is not something I can afford to have right now.”
Qiu Yun looked at Xiao Jingting and said with a cold smile. “You have self-awareness, if I had this kind of self-awareness, I wouldn’t be in this situation.”
Xiao Jingting, “…”
Qiu Yun waved his hand and said, “Go ahead with your own business.”
Xiao Jingting nodded and left the spot.
Seeing Xiao Jingting coming back, Xu Muan asked, “Steward Qiu, did he say anything to you?”
Xiao Jingting shook his head and said, “It’s nothing. He asked me to manage the garden as usual.”
Xu Muan nodded and said, “That’s good.” Although it was dangerous going out this time, with so many spirit stones, it was not a waste of effort.

“Xiaodong, congratulations! You’ve become an inner sect disciple.” Ouyang Jinyue said with some envy.
Xiao Xiaodong nodded lightly with an ‘um’.
After careful consideration, Xiao Xiaodong and others returned to Green Cloud Immortal Sect. No matter what, Xiao Xiaofan and Lei Xuan were all well-known genius disciples of the Green Cloud Immortal Sect. Although the Green Cloud Immortal Sect was not very generous, a Nascent Soul cultivator personally sent them back, so the sect would not neglect them as before.
“I am glad you are back. Before there has been news that…”
Xiao Xiaodong glanced at Ouyang Jinyue who wanted to say something and said “That we died?”
Ouyang Jinyue laughed and said, “It’s all just some nonsense.”
Xiao Xiaodong shook his head and said, “It’s not nonsense either. We almost ended up in the gutter.”
Ouyang Jinyue looked at the chicken beside Xiao Xiaodong and changed the topic. “Your chicken looks very powerful!”
Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “You think so?”
Xiao Xiaodong didn’t say that this little chick was his contract animal. Many people just thought that this small chicken was Xiao Xiaodong’s pet. There were many people in the sect who raised pets. Some of them kept rabbits, foxes, rats and others kept snakes, lizards and spiders. So it was not surprising that Xiao Xiaodong raised a chicken.
“Yes! I didn’t expect you to raise a pet! I really didn’t expect it,” Ouyang Jinyue said somewhat teasingly.
Xiao Xiaodong laughed and said, “So it’s like this!”
“This chicken of yours is really strange. It even eats sparrows.” Ouyang Jinyue looked at the little chicken that was feasting on it and said.
“It seems to have a good appetite.” The chicken looked small but it did not change into a large size even after it ate a demonic beast that was dozens of times bigger.
The little chick glanced at Xiao Xiaodong and Ouyang Jinyue, its eyes filled with disdain, and then it concentrated on eating the sparrow in its hands. What he liked to eat was swallow. Unfortunately, he couldn’t find it for a while and had to make do with these sparrows. These stupid mortals actually regarded him as a chicken, idiots!
