Who told him to become greedy? He originally wanted to harm his companions to kill for treasure, but in the end, he failed to get what he wanted and even lost his own life.
Tsk, he deserved it!
It is a good thing the people of the Xianlai Sect were clever and did not give him money yesterday. Did they not just save 200 Crystal Stones?
"Hearing" Mo Jiuwei's words, the members of the Xianlai Sect exchanged glances, and each of them was speechless.
It was truly as she said!
But how could this be possible...
This matter was too outrageous!
"I will go inquire if the news is true. You all stay steady and take good care of Jiu Wei." Old Man Liu gave everyone a look, then hurriedly went out.
He had to confirm if the person who died was Zheng Cheng; this matter was important!
Mo Jiuwei moved her body.
I am hungry, I want to drink milk!
Not to mention, that deer milk was actually quite delicious.
"What is wrong, Weiwei? Are you hungry?"
Chen Lan walked over holding the bottle and shook it in front of Mo Jiuwei, then discovered that the infant's eyes were following the bottle, not blinking at all.
Chen Lan could not help but laugh.
Yes, yes, yes! Senior Sister Chen really understands me.
Mo Jiuwei got what she wanted and drank the deer milk, only stopping when she was full, then let out a satisfied burp.
This cute appearance made everyone laugh, and the look in their eyes toward her changed from initial astonishment to current loving care.
A while later, Old Man Liu returned in a hurry—
"It is true! The person who died is indeed Zheng Cheng!" He brought the definitive news. "Tu Ye from the neighboring street went with him and saw it with his own eyes; it cannot be wrong!"
The people of the Xianlai Sect exchanged glances, all speechless.
Zheng Cheng was not a good person. In the past, when the Xianlai Sect could still maintain itself, he often came over to freeload, and the advantages he took amounted to more than two hundred Crystal Stones.
Later, when the Xianlai Sect was in trouble and borrowed money from him, he was only willing to take out two hundred Crystal Stones. That would have been fine, but he used this reputation to frequently demand repayment early, and even brought away other things every time he came over.
It was just that the Xianlai Sect was currently dirt poor and had nothing left for him to take, otherwise he would not have left empty-handed yesterday.
Now that he was dead, everyone saved the debt of two hundred, but they could not say any cold words about it.
Right in the middle of the silence, everyone suddenly heard Mo Jiuwei's words—
Huh? Handsome Senior Brother is about to break through?
Everyone was stunned, only then realizing who Mo Jiuwei was referring to.
"Xingyun, have you reached the perfection of the Qi Refining Stage?" Old Man Liu looked towards Yi Xingyun and asked with pleasant surprise.
Clearly, Yi Xingyun was still at the tenth level of Qi Refining yesterday and had not yet encountered the boundary of a breakthrough. Unexpectedly, after one night, his Cultivation had actually improved!
Yi Xingyun embarrassedly said "mm." "It just happened yesterday during Cultivation."
"That is great!"
"Congratulations, Junior Brother Yi."
"This is truly good news."
Everyone was very happy.
"Why didn't you tell us about such a good thing? Since you have reached perfection, the next step is to break through to the Founda..." Old Man Liu's voice paused.
The expressions of the other Xianlai Sect members also stiffened; the joy dissipated, and only sorrow remained.
Breaking through to Foundation Establishment—was that something that could be done with just a word?
Not to mention anything else, a Foundation Establishment Pill was essential for a breakthrough, but now with so many people, they could not even scrape together a single Foundation Establishment Pill!
No wonder Yi Xingyun did not say anything, because even if he had, besides increasing their sorrow, there was simply no other way to resolve it.
"Forget it, it does not matter; I am still young." Seeing everyone's heavy expressions, Yi Xingyun instead revealed a clear, bright smile and turned to comfort them.
"It is precisely because you are young that we cannot delay! Young Cultivators compete for every year and every month; the earlier, the better! If you do not take advantage of your youth to break through early, do you expect to wait until you are half-buried like me to break through?" Old Man Liu said angrily.
The younger one is, the greater the potential. Breaking through to Foundation Establishment a year earlier would mean one more hope of breaking through to the Golden Core!
"Let us pool the money we have and buy a Foundation Establishment Pill for Junior Brother Yi," Chen Lan said. "I still have some Material I can sell."
"I will go to Fengyin Mountain now; perhaps I can pick some Spirit Grass to sell," Du Yue said.
"I do not have anything else, only this gourd might sell for a good Price."
Hu Jiu lowered his head and lovingly touched the small gourd hanging at his side. There was reluctance in his eyes, but in the end, he still reached out and took it down.
He was addicted to alcohol, and he had nothing of value on him because all his money was used to buy wine.
If he really had to say, only this seemingly ordinary small gourd could be considered his most precious item, without exception.
Inside was a type of wine called Red Pearl. That wine was brewed by his Deceased Wife together with him while she was alive, using several types of Spirit Grass, and it was very precious.
The wine was named after his wife. There was originally a jar, and after his Deceased Wife passed away, he often missed her so much he could not sleep, and every time this happened, he would drink a few sips to cherish her memory.
Years passed, and only this small gourd remained. He could not bear to drink it, so he kept it on him as if she were still by his side.
This wine was rare; there was no second jar in the world. It was just that the remaining amount was a bit small, but if he went to sell it, he could at least get hundreds or thousands of Crystal Stones.
Yi Xingyun was stunned, then greatly alarmed. "How can this be! This is the only thing Sister Red Pearl left for you; how can you sell it!"
Hu Jiu, however, smiled. "When I owed Zheng Cheng Crystal Stones before, I did not sell it because I was Unwilling to accept giving such a precious memory to such a dog. He was not worth it. But Xingyun, you are worth it. You still have a bright future, unlike us who have no hope."
Yi Xingyun shook his head. "No, I will not accept it. I would rather not break through."
Ji Qingqing gripped the Sword in her hand. "How about I sell my Sword instead..."
"Senior Sister Ji, I do not agree, and you should not say such things again!" Yi Xingyun still refused.
Mo Jiuwei was watching from the side until she felt sleepy.
This life is too difficult. As soon as there is a little trouble, they have to sell the only valuable things they have... Could it be that all their other things were sold off like this?
Is this not just eating away at their savings? How can this be a long-term plan?
Huh, there is a Spiritual Energy Fluctuation nearby? Let me calculate... Oh, a Spiritual Object is about to appear in the nearby Qingfeng Ridge.
Speaking of which, this Qingfeng Ridge is a good place. If the people of the Xianlai Sect could go there for a turn, would that Foundation Establishment Pill not be easy to get?
Mo Jiuwei lacked the physical strength, and she could not control her body; before long, she was sleeping soundly again.
And the several members of the Xianlai Sect had their expressions shift as they looked at each other—
"Qingfeng Ridge?"
They said in unison.
Yi Xingyun thought for a moment and said, "I want to go to Qingfeng Ridge."
"We will go together!"
"Right, let us go together. There is strength in numbers."
Yi Xingyun, however, shook his head and said sternly, "The reason we have not risked our lives to earn Crystal Stones is because we do not even have the money to Buy Medicine, right? It is enough for me to do the dangerous things myself. Even if I really lose my life, it does not matter; there is no need for everyone to risk danger with me."
