The Arrogant Immortal-Chapter 58 - Xie Jiuniang Pulls Another Cunning Move

The only choice is for the winning person to ask if the disciple wishes to become their apprentice, giving the disciple a chance to refuse. Of course, once refused, it’s unlikely they will get another chance to become a disciple.

Other powerhouses, when choosing their own disciples, will subconsciously avoid the one who refused.

Having been notified by Elder Chaoyan in advance, Xie Jiuniang is now on the list of prominent figures in the Outer Sect.

And only a few are privy to this matter, Xie Jiuniang being none the wiser.

Since Xie Ying left last night, Xie Jiuniang has been contemplating her situation.

She wants to seek the opportunity of her past life, desires to go to the back mountain to find the Water-Repelling Pearl, but now she can’t, since she’s under close watch and any slight movement would be noticed by others.

Most crucially, the rumor of her obtaining treasures from others twice is increasingly detrimental to her situation.

Even if it’s false, as the rumor spreads, some are bound to believe it’s true.

Just like Xuanyuan You’s thoughts yesterday, it’s unlikely to be an isolated case.

She fears that in the future, not just family members, but others might become covetous. Those unaware of the secrets of the Child of Destiny will be less restrained.

The more Xie Jiuniang thinks deeply about it, the more distressed she becomes.

She must find a foolproof way to break the predicament!

Sitting in silence till dawn, Xie Jiuniang still hasn’t come up with a good plan. She performs the Dust Cleansing Technique on herself a few times and heads to the small waterfall.

Unaware that she is going to acquire a master, at this moment Xie Jiuniang still plans to reside on Shihao Mountain for ninety years.

Shi Qi and the others have already arrived.

The fruit trees have already been purchased and are ready to be planted.

Bai Mudan and a male cultivator are in charge of building the house, while the other three take care of planting the trees.

Xie Jiuniang glances over her twenty acres of Spiritual Fields, which are in good condition.

“Xiaojiu, what are you doing?” Xie Si Niang comes to check on her Spiritual Fields in the morning and happens upon this scene, “Are they planting fruit trees? That’s your turf.”

Xie Jiuniang replies, “I hired them. The Spirit Fruits can be sold or used to brew wine, which brings another source of income.”

“Wow, how come I didn’t think of that?” Xie Si Niang regrets it.

Xie Jiuniang smiles, “It’s not too late to think of it now.”

“I’ll go talk to my little uncle about this.” Xie Si Niang hurries off to find someone.

The area Xie Jiuniang circled for her orchard isn’t big, just over a hundred trees, and it’s mainly for show. She doesn’t rely on these resources for cultivation. Afterward, she heads to the large plateau halfway up the mountain and is immediately surrounded by a flock of Immortal Cranes.

The Immortal Cranes are extremely enthusiastic.

Leaving Xie Jiuniang a little bewildered.

And the disciples who just arrived at the plateau are also completely puzzled.

They take out their Qi Nourishing Pills, but none of the Immortal Cranes pay attention, all flocking around…

Shit!

Is it the Little Profiteer?! The rumors said she was subjected to a collective rejection by the Immortal Cranes, right?

Is this what rejection looks like?

They wish they could be rejected like this!

“Honk-honk.”

“Honk—”

Xie Jiuniang communicates with Jian Lingyan using her consciousness, “Little Jianjian, translate for me. I’m too popular, and it’s making me nervous.”

“They all want to be your mount,” Jian Lingyan derided her master for being shameless. Even though she was clearly ecstatic, she still pretended to have a look of great difficulty on her face.

Just at that moment, an Immortal Crane descended from the sky.

Chasing off the other Immortal Cranes aggressively, the Little Immortal Crane lifted its head with pride, as if looking down upon all the others. Then, it scurried towards Xie Jiuniang with a flattering little demeanor.

Xie Jiuniang couldn’t help but ask, “Little Immortal Crane, are you all right now?”

“Li-li.” The Immortal Crane affectionately rubbed its head against her.

Xie Jiuniang got on the back of the Immortal Crane and, full of spirit, pointed ahead, “Let’s go! We’ll check out the Outer Sect and take a look at the combat rankings.”

The Immortal Crane took off with Xie Jiuniang.

The disciples watching on the side felt envious. Little Profiteer, you truly live up to your name.

“It looks like Little Profiteer didn’t even give the Immortal Crane any elixirs…”

“Can I give it a try?”

The end result of trying was that not a single Immortal Crane gave him any attention. If he annoyed the cranes, they would peck at his head until it was covered in bumps. The disciple could only look up to the sky and sigh.

After all, some people are just different from others.

Xie Jiuniang arrived at the Outer Sect’s Battle Peak.

Battle Peak was specifically for setting up challenge arenas, rumored to have more than ten thousand of them.

The Little Immortal Crane leisurely carried her around the peak, flying past various arenas. Some arenas were surrounded by a throng of people, while others had only a scattered few spectators.

And then, at the mountain top, the Battle Peak Hall.

Many disciples gathered on the square, with quite a few surrounding the combat rankings and watching the excitement.

The current period was when the Tianshui Secret Realm slots were being contested, and many disciples were competing, causing the rankings to fluctuate from time to time.

There were only about ten more days until the end of the month.

The list for the Secret Realm would be determined at the end of the month, with the top five winning a Secret Realm Token. They would then rest and recuperate for half a year, getting their bodies into the best condition before entering the Secret Realm.

Xie Jiuniang asked Jian Lingyan, “Little Jianjian, is anyone keeping an eye on me? There were a few small Qi Cultivators when I left, but now there’s not a single one, and traveling without anyone’s attention is as lonely as snow…”

“Dog owner, no one cares about you,”

Jian Lingyan wanted to complain. The dog owner was flying around on an Immortal Crane; Qi Cultivators couldn’t fly with the cranes nor could they sword-fly. How could anyone keep up with her?

Xie Jiuniang pondered thoughtfully.

Could it be that only outside the Outer Sect did people follow? Perhaps they thought that within the Sect, she wouldn’t encounter any fortune.

Lately, she was running quite low on Spirit Stones. Should she make another wave of money?

The thought of Xuanyuan You’s ridiculous idea from yesterday suddenly made her feel that this plan was feasible.

Thus, Xie Jiuniang turned around, no longer interested in the combat rankings, and had the Immortal Crane take her to the Sect Market.

To make the Immortal Crane speed up, she took out a bottle of Spirit-Gathering Pills.

Xie Jiuniang patted the Little Immortal Crane’s head and made a grand promise, “Fly fast, Little Immortal Crane. If I earn Spirit Stones, not to mention just one bottle of Spirit-Gathering Pills, you’ll have two.”

“Master, ever since you left the gate, someone has been following you,” Jian Lingyan reminded her.

Xie Jiuniang’s eyebrows rose slightly.

Let them follow. Today, she was worried there wouldn’t be any followers.

The speed of the Little Immortal Crane made the trackers question their life choices.

Aren’t Immortal Cranes supposed to be slow?

They sent messages to their respective masters, all conveying the same point: Xie Jiuniang was heading to the Sect Market again.

Their masters’ response was more or less the same: Keep a close eye on her and get hold of whatever she buys.

But at the marketplace, Xie Jiuniang had another cunning move.

The marketplace was lined with stalls, reputed to be spots where one could stumble upon fortune.

At each stall, Xie Jiuniang would stop for a while, buying ten or eight items if they were cheap. The key was not to buy anything over one Spirit Stone, infuriating the vendors. Who was this pesky girl coming to disrupt their business?

But the problem was, if the items were cheap, she bought in large quantities, and shamefully, they were tempted!

Xie Jiuniang spent all the remaining Spirit Stones she had, not leaving a single one, even her Spiritual Pearls were all gone.

She bought hundreds of items, and with her silver tongue, she even got a bunch of small freebies.

Those secretly surveilling her were completely befuddled. Their masters instructed to get a hold of whatever she bought, and now she switched to wholesale?

What should they do?
