The Arrogant Immortal-Chapter 24 - Sister Please Be Reasonable

A Formation was laid out in the small courtyard they rented, and there was also a Small Isolation Array in Jiujiu’s room.

As soon as there was a disturbance outside, Jiujiu knew immediately and turned off the Formation, “Mother, please come in.”

“Song Baobao said you came back with a dark expression?” Mo Lan stepped over the threshold and examined her daughter, relieved only when she saw no injuries, “Did something happen?”

Xie Jiujiu was speechless, “Have you ever seen her with a good expression?”

Mo Lan laughed softly, “So, really, nothing’s wrong?”

“No bad news, but good news… hehe.” Xie Jiujiu pulled off the Storage Bag from her waist and tossed it to her mother, “Mother, don’t ask just yet. I’ll tell you and father together when he comes out.”

Mo Lan glanced over the ten thousand Spirit Stones in the Storage Bag, about to ask where they came from when she stopped herself. Her daughter had just said they would discuss it when her dad came out.

It wasn’t that Mo Lan was suspicious, mainly because seventy percent of the family’s possessions were kept in Mo Lan’s Storage Ring, and most of the rest were with Xie Shen.

Jiujiu only kept what she currently needed.

Carrying too many things on her could draw the attention of those who secretly watched her. Back in Yunmu City, she was seen as a pitiful figure, not valued by her family. How long had it been since she left?

Xie Jiujiu had not wanted to attract attention and had therefore been frugal.

Now it was different, with heaven-sent wealth of a hundred thousand. She could spend Spirit Stones without worrying that certain people would become suspicious.

The mother and daughter left the room together.

They didn’t call Xie Shen to eat, as only the young ones craved food.

In the world of adults, what compare to the allure of cultivating?

Song Baobao glared at Xie Jiujiu resentfully, “Not eager to eat is a sign of a problem in the head.”

Xie Jiujiu, who had just sat down, stiffened for a moment but quickly pretended not to hear, waiting for Mo Lan to sit down and pick up the first chopstick full of food.

Xie Jiujiu and Song Baobao made their moves almost simultaneously.

Aiming for the pig’s trotters on the table.

These trotters were not from an ordinary pig, but from one fed with spiritual herbs and vegetables, so the meat contained Spiritual Energy, making it particularly delicious.

There were only four pieces of pig’s trotter!

Both of them targeted the biggest and meatiest piece at the same time.

Song Baobao widened her eyes, “Let go of your chopsticks, didn’t you clearly say you wanted to be vegetarian?”

“Who said that? I want to eat meat now,” Xie Jiujiu stood her ground.

Song Baobao became anxious again, “I touched it first.”

“But I clamped it first.”

Xie Jiujiu inadvertently glanced at her mother sitting aside enjoying the show, then back at the table of dishes, and a light bulb went off, “Song Baobao, the best pieces should be given to the elders, I’m planning to take some for my mom, how about you?”

“I was going to give it to Aunt Lan too,” Song Baobao wouldn’t back down.

Xie Jiujiu let go of her chopsticks and picked up another large piece, “Okay, you do it.”

Song Baobao, triumphant in her victory, happily treated the biggest pig’s trotter like a trophy, placing it carefully and formally in Mo Lan’s bowl.

Mo Lan smiled and thanked her.

Song Baobao picked another piece for herself and bit into it eagerly, “Delicious! So delicious, truly amazing.”

Xie Jiujiu seemed not to hear and buried her head in her food, eating voraciously.

By the time Song Baobao finished one piece,

the plate of braised pig’s trotters was already empty. The last piece was gone, and Song Baobao abruptly turned her head to look at Xie Jiujiu.

Seeing her happily nibbling on the second piece!

That’s too much!

Song Baobao always felt she had been outsmarted but couldn’t find any proof, feeling an irritating lump in her chest that neither rose nor settled.

Did she lose, or did she win?

No, she clearly won, so why did it feel so suffocating?!

Xie Jiujiu glanced at her sideways and said, “Why are you daydreaming during the meal? If you’re not enthusiastic about eating, there must be something wrong with your brain.”

Song Baobao, “…”

Mo Lan bowed her head and hid the smile at the corner of her mouth by pretending to sip her soup.

When it comes to playing cunning tricks, Song Baobao is far behind.

Xie Jiujiu had a delightful meal just watching Song Baobao’s frustrated face, feeling clear-headed, and in high spirits.

After putting down her bowl and chopsticks, Xie Jiujiu went back to her room.

Then she continued studying the broken sword.

In the end, she concluded that the origins of the sword were unknown, and its rank before breaking was very high, possibly above that of a spiritual artifact.

In the Cultivation World, artifacts primarily come in two types: magic artifacts and spiritual artifacts.

Cultivators below the Golden Core stage usually use magic artifacts.

Cultivators above the Golden Core stage can use spiritual artifacts.

Spiritual artifacts can’t be simply crafted; Artifact Refiners infuse magic artifacts with spiritual nature during the artifact refining process, and those with spiritual nature are called spiritual artifacts.

If a spiritual artifact is nurtured for a long time, it develops spiritual intelligence, and this hint of intelligence is the artifact spirit.

A spiritual artifact with an artifact spirit, given enough heaven-sent treasures and the right opportunities, can transform and evolve into an immortal artifact.

It has been over ten thousand years since an immortal artifact appeared in the Cultivation World.

And Xie Jiujiu suspected that the Broken Sword may have once been an immortal sword before it was destroyed.

Before nightfall, Xie Shen and Mo Lan came over.

They asked about the source of those one hundred thousand Spirit Stones. Xie Jiujiu did not hide anything, recounting how she had wandered around, bought a broken sword for one Spirit Stone at the Fangshi in the central square, and subsequently found one hundred thousand Spirit Stones when her Storage Bag was stolen.

Xie Shen was incredulous.

Strange things happen every year, but this year seems to have a surplus.

Why hasn’t he ever come across such good luck when he goes out?

Xie Jiujiu decided to share this incident with her parents

because it’s something a normal child would discuss with their parents.

Not letting her parents know would only raise suspicions. However, Xie Jiujiu kept the matter of someone possibly scheming behind the scenes to herself, as if she didn’t know, and she didn’t even mention swapping out the broken sword, pretending as though the broken sword had been lost.

Mo Lan frowned and reminded, “This matter isn’t so simple. The problem lies with that broken sword. The one hundred thousand Spirit Stones were for buying our daughter’s sword, which suggests that the sword is likely a valuable item, doesn’t it?”

Enlightened by her words, Xie Shen felt it made sense.

Xie Jiujiu gave her mother a thumbs up.

My mother is impressive, she guessed right!

The couple began to speculate what kind of treasure the broken sword could be.

Xie Jiujiu said dismissively, “Why does it have to be a valuable item? Can’t it be that the person made a mistake and spent one hundred thousand Spirit Stones on a piece of scrap metal? Anyway, I just bought it from a street vendor for one, single, Spirit, Stone.”

The emphasis was on one Spirit Stone!

Xie Jiujiu also playfully extended her index finger, waggling it in front of her parents.

The couple were at a loss for words.

Daughter, please, be reasonable.
