The Arrogant Immortal-Chapter 29 - The Eagle Snatches Food

After using an Invisibility Talisman, she continued to fly rapidly forward.

Not even an hour had passed when Xie Jiuniang stealthily approached near a towering peak a mile away. There, Xie Jiuniang slapped herself with a Breath Concealment Talisman.

Cultivators have excellent vision.

Above the precipitous cliffs of the high mountain, at a height of a hundred feet, was a person burying something. He faced the mountain wall, and Xie Jiuniang could only see his back, unable to guess his identity for the moment.

There was one thing she could confirm.

The danger she encountered in her past life was indeed premeditated.

Without using Divine Sense, she already knew what was being buried—it was a century-old Ganoderma Establishment, a main ingredient for crafting Foundation Establishment Pills.

In her past life, as she passed by, she smelled a medicinal fragrance and climbed the mountain to seek it out. It was at that spot where she found the Ganoderma Establishment. While picking it, a hawk swooped down to attack, and she met with danger as she fell from the cliff.

She was rescued, with more fright than harm.

Broken Sword was swindled away, yet she never saw anyone using it. Therefore, Xie Jiuniang still couldn’t guess who set the trap.

All was interconnected, indeed quite clever.

The moment she entered the mountain, Xie Jiuniang deliberately took the path she had in her past life and sneaked ahead to the cliff where she had encountered danger, wanting to investigate the truth behind the scenes.

As that person finished burying and turned to leave, Xie Jiuniang was shocked.

It was Mo Chuan!

The notable figure of the Tianxu Sect in her past life, ranked in the top ten of the Eastern Region’s genius list, hailed as number one in potential on the Alchemy Dao.

Before Xie Jiuniang died, Mo Chuan’s Cultivation Base had already reached the early Nascent Soul stage and he was the youngest seventh-grade Pill Master in the entire Cultivation World.

He and Lin Wangchen were geniuses of the same era.

Both with extraordinary backgrounds, outstanding appearances, and many admirers. As the saying goes, there’s only room for one tiger on a mountain, and the two of them on the surface seemed calm in their previous lives; as Lin Wangchen’s Dao companion, Xie Jiuniang naturally knew their relationship was not good.

Because he didn’t get along with Lin Wangchen, Xie Jiuniang naturally had no interaction with him, but she had seen him many times rescuing Outer Sect Disciples, charging only a small amount of Spirit Stones.

This gave her a good impression of him.

Could it be… the Mo Family was also one of the forces behind the scenes hunting her?

The Mo Family had a lineage of Medical Cultivators and had maintained a very good reputation in the Eastern Region, earning considerable respect from others.

By now, Mo Chuan must have reached Foundation Establishment.

If he wasn’t participating in the assessment as a Disciple, then, was he one of the personnel in charge of the assessment?

Xie Jiuniang did her best to contain her breath, grateful she had used the Breath Concealment Talisman in advance, or else she might have been discovered given the close distance.

She waited for Mo Chuan to leave.

Xie Jiuniang still did not move but only looked in the direction of the cliff, the raging fury in the depths of her eyes churning ceaselessly.

Unable to defeat him for the time being, she decided to take a little interest first. That wouldn’t be too much, right?

After waiting a quarter of an hour.

Xie Jiuniang produced the Time Leaf.

At the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation, she could foresee the future for twelve breaths and retrospect six quarter-hours of time.

Although it was only twelve breaths, it was enough!

Xie Jiuniang quietly initiated the foresight. In the river of time, she took a step forward and immediately saw several scenes.

[It was her approaching the cliff wall, climbing up, finding the Ganoderma Establishment, reaching out to pick it, when suddenly a hawk appeared, attacking her swiftly and ferociously. During the fight with the hawk, she was overpowered and severely injured…]

The twelve breaths ended.

Xie Jiuniang wiped off a cold sweat, swallowed a mouthful of Spiritual Liquid, and hastily sat down to meditate on the spot, allowing her parched Dantian to recover quickly.

Once her Spiritual Power was replenished, Xie Jiuniang ceased meditating and looked again towards the cliff face.

Indeed, the hawk was there too.

If the Ganoderma Establishment was placed by Mo Chuan, then the hawk must also have been raised by him.

During the assessment period, any Demonic Beast with strength comparable to Foundation Establishment would be removed from this area. In reality, the hawk’s strength was equivalent to the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation.

Xie Jiuniang wanted to covertly take the Ganoderma Establishment without causing a commotion, and better yet, kill the hawk to let Mo Chuan suffer a substantial loss.

But with her strength, she couldn’t achieve it.

We need to plan this well.

Xie Jiuniang raised her left index finger and tapped on the divine pattern on her right hand, “Broken Sword, Little Jianjian, let’s negotiate.”

“You help me with a little favor, and I’ll give you a Spirit Stone as payment, how about that? I’m quite generous, right?”

While she spoke, Xie Jiuniang continued to tap on the divine pattern.

As soon as Broken Sword heard this, it got angry. This new owner has such a cheap mouth!

Who is calling it Little Jianjian?

Its name is Jian Lingyan!

What a mighty name.

The most important thing is that the new owner is too stingy, having two thousand Spirit Stones in the Storage Bag but only giving one?

Xie Jiuniang faintly sensed Broken Sword’s thoughts, and her eyes flashed slightly, “Of course, if you do the job well, I can reward you with a thousand Spirit Stones.”

“Two thousand!”

A childish voice suddenly sounded in Xie Jiuniang’s mind, huffing and puffing, “Without two thousand, I absolutely won’t do it!”

Xie Jiuniang was secretly delighted.

Finally willing to talk?

Xie Jiuniang casually said, “Deal! Agreed.”

“Hmph, I won’t go back on my word.”

Jian Lingyan snorted coldly, then said in a childish voice, “Also, you can’t call me Little Jianjian. Jian Lingyan! I have a mighty name, Jian Lingyan…”

“Alright, Little Jianjian.”

Xie Jiuniang no longer paid attention to Broken Sword’s frustrated appearance and got ready for the things she might need in a while.

An Invisibility Talisman is a must.

A Breath Concealment Talisman is also essential!

Oh, and pack up the Earth Escape Charm, the Teleportation Talisman, and the Flight Charm.

The methods for creating these rare talismans came from a “Comprehensive Introduction to Talisman Characters” in the family’s library.

Xie Jiuniang had practiced these three kinds of talismans during her seclusion, and now there were over a hundred of them stored in her Storage Bag.

Next, she took out rock climbing tools.

As long as she didn’t use her Spiritual Power, she wouldn’t be easily detected.

Xie Jiuniang had gone through it once in her previous life.

She had seen it again in her foresight, and after simulating it several times in her mind, her small body was as nimble as a monkey, successfully climbing the rock wall and quickly approaching the Ganoderma Establishment located a hundred zhang above on the cliff.

A hundred-year-old Ganoderma Establishment, the size of a large bowl, faintly emanating a purple glow.

It could be used in medicine now!

Upon closer inspection, one would find that its medicinal fragrance was sealed within a small area.

“Little Jianjian, get ready!”

Xie Jiuniang sent a covert message, her left hand grasping the rock to stabilize her form, then pretending to reach out with her right hand to pick the Ganoderma Establishment.

“Screech!”

The eagle, hidden in the clouds at the mountain peak, cried out sharply and swooped towards Xie Jiuniang.

Xie Jiuniang was well-prepared, and the hand that was reaching for the Ganoderma Establishment abruptly changed course, throwing a handful of sand at the eagle’s eyes.

The sand, wrapped in Spiritual Power, successfully hindered the eagle for a half breath, enough time for Xie Jiuniang to pluck the Ganoderma Establishment.

Once successful, she immediately activated the Flight Charm to jump down.

Boom!

The eagle’s claw missed!

The hard rock, under its single strike, was like tofu, and instantly, debris and soil flew everywhere.

Just as the eagle was about to flap its wings and rise again, Broken Sword, which had been lying in ambush within the rocks, swept out, leaving only a trailing afterimage in the air.

In the next instant, the eagle’s throat was splattered with fresh blood, raining blood from midair.

Xie Jiuniang had a pair of wings made of Spiritual Energy on her back, activated by the Flight Charm, effectively slowing her fall.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

The Flight Charm was only of the lowest grade and didn’t last long to begin with, and now, with her falling so fast, Xie Jiuniang was desperately driving the Flight Charm to control her form, thus the charm’s energy drained even faster.

By the time she safely landed, the Spiritual Energy wings on her back had dissipated.

Boom!

The eagle’s corpse followed, crashing into the ground, kicking up dust and dirt.

Broken Sword also flew back to the Contract Space at the same time.

Xie Jiuniang waved her hand to collect the eagle’s corpse into her Storage Bag, then immediately activated the Teleportation Talisman, disappearing from her spot in an instant.

Almost at the next moment.

Mo Chuan arrived on his Flying Sword…
