The Transmigrator’s Cultivation-Chapter 7

Chapter 7. Protect shortcomings

After hearing what Tian Gongzi meant, Xu Ziqing's brows frowned tightly, and then he smiled bitterly. He was still too naive. He thought coming here to be a miscellaneous laborer was already hard enough, but he forgot that his status in the family was low and he could be easily suffocated to death by someone of higher status. Xu Ziqing had a gentle temperament and never wanted to embarrass people, but others might not think similarly.

Xu Ziqing didn't know the name of Tian Gongzi was Tian Liang, the son of the Tian family head, Luo Tianfu. He was born with twin spirit roots, the thickness of the spiritual roots was similar, and his qualifications were very rare.

In the Tian family, Tian Liang was raised up by the clan, and various resources were continuously supplied. He just turned 30 years old and was already at the fifth level of qi refinement, which is considered a genius! Being naturally prideful - a small servant taking care of grass was nothing in his eyes. Whether he wants to hit or kill, isn't it as easy as a simple word?

The status of Tian and Xu families was almost the same, and they often interact with each other. This time, Tian Liang was visiting by the order of his family to bring a gift to celebrate Xu Zifeng's son building his foundation three days ago. There, he met Xu Zifeng's sister Xu Zitang and was shocked to the heavens. After staying for a few days, he refused to leave.

Xu Zitang was also a beloved daughter of fate. She is a genius with double spirit roots, with one thick and the other thin, so her qualifications are high like her brother. Her brother Xu Zifeng just passed his twenty-fifth birthday and already built his foundation. Such an extraordinary cultivation talent was demonic in this type of Haotian small world1! As his biological sister, she was not far off. She was only eighteen years old and broke through the fifth layer of gas refining. Judging by cultivation level, they seemed comparable, but Tian Liang was not as good as Xu Zitang when looking at age.

Tian Liang was trying to woo Xu Zitang, and naturally collected his arrogance in front of her, treating her in a manner bystanders would never receive. Although Xu Zitang was impatient with Tian Liang, because he was the son of the Tian family head, she had to show face to the family head who was at the foundation establishment level.2

Xu Zitang sneered in her heart hearing Tian Liang's request to beat the Baicaoyuan's miscellaneous laborer. Baicaoyuan's Manager He was not only at the ninth level of qi refinement, but the fact the spirit grass he managed was one and a half grade higher than any other place was enough for the Xu clan head to show his respect. In this garden, no matter how well-known they were as a genius, they would not dare act wildly. This Tian Liang was so stupid and even dared act out towards Manager He's laborer.

Xu Zitang also heard that Manager He's vision was quite high. It is rare that this laborer has not been expelled after more than half a month, so he must have satisfied him. If she really tested the whip on this, would she be able to get a good spirit grass? Don't know how the head of the Tian family gave birth to such a stupid son with lofty eyes!

Moreover, even if it there was no Manager He, does Xu Zitang need someone from the Tian family to instruct her how to act? How can a Tian family person say hit and hit someone from her Xu family!

Xu Zitang's evaluation of Tian Liang dropped a few points, but she didn't show it on the surface. She only said lightly: "This person hasn't had time to catch his breath. Thinking about it, he must come immediately after learning the news, so no punishment is necessary."

Xu Ziqing was slightly surprised. He had thought that the whip was ready, and did not expect that the woman was as not bad as the man.

Tian Liang heard Xu Zitang's word, and his face changed, smiling: "Since Sister Zitang said so, let him go then."

Before Xu Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief, he received a malicious look from Tian Liang. He knew the matter was not over, but he did not know what Tian Liang would do. Shaking his head, Xu Ziqing was also a bit helpless. Although Tian Liang's character was deficient, his status and strength were far above his. He could only find a way when it came.

However, Xu Ziqing suddenly had an epiphany from this incident. Even the extremely remote Baicaoyuan could not become a paradise. Wanting to live in peace was not easy...

Xu Ziqing turned around, and naturally led the way.

Tian Liang stared at his back, and a poisonous light flashed in his eyes.

In Xu Ziqing's view, Tian Liang was just trying to make trouble, and landing in his hands meant he was unlucky. But in Tian Liang's eyes, it made sense to deal with Xu Ziqing's type of laborer.

Such a humble laborer can make Xu Zitang, a stunning beauty, treat him differently. How could Tian Liang, who wanted to please the beauty, not dislike him?

If Xu Ziqing was ugly, it was something else. Although he was simply dressed and not too old, his appearance was very handsome and calm. Even when he heard that he would be punished, he didn't cry for mercy like ordinary people. This filled Tian Liang with resentment. He had such an honorable identity, but she did not admire him and instead pleaded for the miscellaneous laborer - it was unacceptable!

Despite the thorns drilling into his back, Xu Ziqing's pace was still normal. Fortunately, Tian Liang was still a little sensible. He didn't continue asking Xu Zitang to intimidate him, but let him go, which made Xu Ziqing sweat coldly.

Maybe the trip was very fast or very slow, but when he reached the top of the grass field and saw the old man busy working, his heart gradually calmed down.

Xu Ziqing said: "Manager He, people have arrived."

Old Man He patted the dirt on his hand. "You stare at this dragon claw flower, and make sure you keep your eyes on it for the next two minutes."

Xu Ziqing responded "Yes", took a bamboo stick, and squatted down.

After the dragon claw flower breaks through the soil, root-eating insects may be attracted during those two minutes.

Xu Zitang didn't rush. When she saw the old man order Xu Ziqing, she stood quietly and waited. Tian Liang didn't know what status the poor old man had, but the beauty didn't move, so he will be patient.

After the old man explained, he looked at Xu Zitang: "What do you want?"

Xu Zitang followed the etiquette of a cultivator seeing one's predecessors, and said: "This junior's brother Xu Zifeng built a foundation a few days ago and now has a loss of energy. This junior one is here to ask for qianji grass.

Qianji grass grows in arid places and does not bloom. Each grass has hundreds of leaves. When it grows, it drops and then grows again. After ten times, it is mature. Mature qianji grass is the main medicine of qi replenishing pills.

Xu Zifeng consumed a lot of energy when he built the foundation. Only after a year and a half of cultivation, will his body stabilize. But if he can take a pill, his state will be stabilized within ten days.

After picking the grass, the sooner it is put into the pill furnace, the higher the success rate of refining qi replenishing pills. Xu Zifeng's posture is so natural that it is naturally valued by the clan, so he invited an honorable elder who was good at alchemy early. Xu Zitang and she elder brother had a strong relationship, so she came to ask qianji grass in person, and when she went back, they could begin refining.

The old man snorted: "Wait."

Xu Zitang had no opinion: "Yes, senior."

Tian Liang next to her had the heart to support the beauty, but when he was about to speak out, the beauty shook her head first. Xu Zitang was also very helpless. She originally wanted to make a quick trip. When she came down the mountain, she encountered Tian Liang who was blocking her everywhere, and had to bring him with her. Although she received a top low-level magical weapon, was she lacking in people giving gifts? Now she just hoped to prevent him from being stupid and let her securely get qianji grass.

Tian Liang saw the beauty's attention fall to him, and diligently spoke to her. Xu Zitang responded casually, all her thoughts were on the old man who had gone away.

Xu Ziqing over to the side observed the dragon claw flower at ease, completely ignoring Xu Zitang her group of four. It was not resentment, it was just that he could not be distract when taking care of the dragon claw flower.

Old Man He's handiwork was naturally good, and a moment or so later, a black bug emerged from the soil. The worm's body was as thick as a rice grain and as long as one's little finger. Because its color is similar to the color of the soil the dragon claw flower likes, it is difficult to find.

When Xu Ziqing saw it, he took the bamboo stick in his right hand and quickly made a scooping motion. Then, after turning his wrist, the bug was picked on the bamboo stick, struggling. Without delay, he stuck the bamboo stick with the root-eating insect into the bamboo tube held in his left hand and covered the lid.

The worm was most afraid of the smell of bamboo. When it entered the tube, it immediately lay down obediently and did not move.

The first one was caught, and then three or four came out. Xu Ziqing did the same. His wrist movement was a few minutes faster than before, but they were all put into a bamboo tube. The last one almost burrowed into the soil, but fortunately the worm's tail was poked by the bamboo stick, and he did not give up.

After no more bugs came out, Xu Ziqing wiped his forehead with sweat, and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, a voice sounded from above his head: "The eyesight is good, the movement is too slow."

Xu Ziqing looked up to see Old Man He and smiled: "Yes."

He had much better physical strength in this life than his previous life, and there is no illness, but he is just an ordinary person. Reading many medicine books let him know how to care for the spirit grass. However, after all, it was his first time catching root-eating insects himself, so he was quite satisfied.

The old man obviously felt that he still had room for improvement, but he didn't mention it. "Come with me to meet people."

Xu Ziqing respectfully said, "Yes, Manager He."

Xu Zitang saw the old man come back from afar, and stop halfway to watch the young boy. She was anxious in her heart, but did not dare urge him and could only wait.

Later, the old man came with the young laborer, and she was relieved.

The old man looked at Xu Zitang, pointed to Xu Ziqing and said, "This is my miscellaneous service laborer in Baicaoyuan. You recognize it."

Xu Zitang nodded: "This junior understand." This sentence was to tell her that the old man knew everything that happened at the gate of the garden. At the same time, his response also let her know that he was not dissatisfied with her performance.

Old Man He then raised his hand and passed a box: "What you wanted."

Xu Zitang took it over and opened it immediately. After seeing the spirit grass, a little joy bloomed on her face, and she and couldn't help saying "Thank you senior!"

The lowering attitude before was really useful. This qianji grass was much better than any other she has ever seen!
