Chapter 452 Jiang Family in South City

Inside the courtyard, near the mountain wall, is an ancient stone gate, about ten feet high.

The stone gate also flickered with a rich golden-red spiritual light.

Xiao Lin came to the stone gate, and then the black token in his hand floated in the air, and a faint golden spiritual light shot out from it and shot into the stone gate.

Then the black token fell into Xiao Lin's hand again, and the stone gate also moved to both sides with a "click" sound, revealing the dark corridor inside.

Xiao Lin walked inside, and the golden-red spiritual light automatically separated. The corridor behind the stone gate was very spacious and tidy. When Xiao Lin stepped into it, a rich spiritual energy rushed to his face, which made Xiao Lin feel refreshed and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The spiritual energy here is actually several times richer than the spiritual energy of the cave he rented in Black Stone City. It is no wonder that the cave here requires 800 low-grade spiritual stones a year. It really is a penny worth a penny.

Xiao Lin entered the corridor, and the stone door behind him closed again. After going deeper than ten feet, Xiao Lin came to the belly of a mountain. The ground in the belly of the mountain was artificially opened up into a small spiritual field, but at this moment, there were no spiritual herbs planted in the spiritual field. Obviously, they had been harvested and taken away by the previous owner.

And around the belly of the mountain, there are four stone doors, with [Rest Room], [Practice Room], [Spirit Beast Room] and [Alchemy Room] on them. Seeing this, Xiao Lin smiled slightly. The cave house built by the Yushui Palace was really well thought out, and even had [Spirit Beast Room] and [Alchemy Room].

As for the spiritual field in the belly of the mountain, Xiao Lin naturally didn't care. He would not transplant spiritual herbs into this spiritual field even though he had a spiritual wood space.

As usual, Xiao Lin first explored the inside and outside of this cave house. Not only did he check it through his divine thoughts, but he also released the Soul Devouring Fire Gu to search every corner carefully.

After confirming that there was no problem, Xiao Lin pushed open the door of the practice room, walked in, sat cross-legged on the central cushion, took out a crimson jade pill and swallowed it, and then began to practice the [Blue Luan Shengmo Yuhan Jue].

As the spell was running, a faint white mist began to appear around Xiao Lin, and at the same time, a faint dark green spiritual light began to emanate from his body.

And Xiao Lin had already entered a state of meditation, knowing nothing about the outside world.

The next morning, Xiao Lin woke up from his meditation and felt the majestic magic power in his sea of ​​qi, and a trace of joy appeared on his face.

He got up and left the cave where he practiced, and entered Jinxia Xiancheng. As usual, he wandered around the streets and alleys. Calculating the time, it was not far from the time agreed by Jiang Yingxue and him.

But it was not easy to find someone in this crowded Jinxia Xiancheng, and Xiao Lin didn't want to let everyone know about his search for someone, so he could only be patient and search slowly.

What Xiao Lin was most worried about was that if Jiang Yingxue was not in Jinxia Xiancheng, when would he find her? But no matter what, he had to look for her first.

Soon, more than half a month had passed. In addition to the four hours of homework every day, Xiao Lin spent most of the rest of his time looking for Jiang Yingxue in the Xiancheng.

He first searched in the area where immortal cultivators lived in the west of the city. He walked through almost every alley. With his powerful divine sense, he could see everything in the area of ​​1,000 feet in radius.

Unfortunately, every time he walked through an alley, he shook his head slightly and walked into the next alley.

......

In the south of the city, there were large areas of houses where mortals lived, covering an area of ​​40 to 50 miles. Most of these houses were built of wood, short and dilapidated. The streets and alleys were much narrower than the residences of immortal cultivators.

The place where mortals live is also divided into different levels. Some merchants either run errands for some business houses to earn spiritual stones, which are not cheap in the eyes of mortals, or bring some people to form a small fleet to travel between the surrounding major immortal cities to earn freight for transporting goods.

These people basically have some industries in the south of the city, and they have spread out and become large families among mortals.

The Jiang family is one of the large families, and among these large families, it is enough to rank in the top three.

The ancestor of the Jiang family was originally a cultivator. He once cultivated to the middle stage of foundation building, but after entering the middle stage of foundation building, he could no longer make progress and his realm stagnated.

Later, after he was more than a hundred years old, he was also discouraged about the path of cultivation. He had no choice but to start a business. He also married several wives. For mortals, being able to marry a cultivator is absolutely a pheasant turning into a phoenix, which is something they wish for.

Who knew that this person had no talent in cultivation, but was quite lucky in doing business. Not only did he get close to several large commercial companies and attract the shipping business, but he was also quite talented in selling various monster materials and was doing very well.

After nearly a hundred years of development, he used the accumulated spiritual stones to not only buy a large piece of land in the south of Jinxia Xiancheng, but also formed a fleet of hundreds of ships.

In terms of offspring, he was also quite lucky. As a foundation-building cultivator, the possibility of giving birth to the next generation was extremely small, but he happened to encounter such a low-probability event, not only giving birth to a son, but also a pair of twins.

Although the twins had no spiritual roots, they were white, fat and very healthy. This person was no longer obsessed with the path of cultivation, and was not entangled with the fact that his children had no spiritual roots.

He also began to train his two sons wholeheartedly so that they could inherit the family business in the future.

These two sons did not disappoint him. When they grew up, they not only took care of the family business they left behind in an orderly manner, but also filled the Jiang family with descendants in passing on the family line. Later, after that man passed away, the Jiang family was completely It took root in the south of the city.

In the following hundreds of years, several family members with spiritual roots appeared, and two of them even joined the Water Control Palace and became its outer disciples.

This also completely stabilized the Jiang family's position in the large area south of Jinxia Fairy City.

The spiritual stones earned by the family through business will also be given priority to the children of the family with spiritual roots for cultivation. In turn, the children of the Jiang family who worship in Yushui Palace can also protect the Jiang family, at least let the Jiang family do what they want. When doing business, I feel a little more confident.

After hundreds of years of development, the entire Jiang family has hundreds of direct descendants. As for the collateral descendants, illegitimate descendants and those who changed their surname to Jiang midway, there are at least more than a thousand people, occupying a large area of ​​​​residences in the south of the city.

In the Jiang family's residence, dozens of teenagers, ranging from seven to eight years old to around twenty years old, are practicing physical training. Mortals cannot practice immortal magic because they have no spiritual roots, so wealthy families who have the conditions will choose young people in the family. In the prime of life, come and practice physical training.

After all, during the transportation process of the fleet, they will occasionally encounter attacks from monsters, and the cost of hiring immortal cultivators to escort them is too high, so most of them use body refiners trained by their families to protect the safety of the goods.

In a corner of the house, there is a small pond where several women are washing clothes. While they are washing clothes, they occasionally peek at the family members who are practicing physical training, with a look of obsession on their faces.

Although the art of body refining is not only practiced by men, in some large families, only the strong men in the family are selected for training. After all, men are better than ordinary men in terms of physical fitness and talent in body refining. woman.

What's more, the cost of training a junior body refiner is not small.

Except for a petite woman who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, she kept her head down and washed her clothes. The other women would take a peek from time to time and saw Jiang who was exercising with his bare upper body showing off his strong muscles. The children of the family showed shy expressions from time to time.

"Xiaolu, I heard that the second young master has formally proposed to the master that he wants to take you as my concubine. In this way, you will soon no longer have to do these menial jobs like us. Don't forget us when you get rich. ”

"Xueying, don't worry, we are good sisters. When I marry the second young master, I will definitely introduce you to other Jiang family children. At least I can keep you a side wife."

"Sister Xiaolu is quite interesting. I heard that the fourth young master's body refining skills are about to advance. Once the advancement is successful, he will become a real body refining practitioner. Then he will be eligible to get married and have children, and he will be able to The young master’s strong physique means he must have three wives and four concubines.”

"Yes, we laundry girls who have been selected by the Jiang family since we were young have hope."

"That is, but what about her?" The beautiful woman named Xueying glanced at the petite woman who was washing clothes with her head down and snorted coldly.

"This is a young lady from the Jiang family. Although she is just an illegitimate child, she still has the blood of the Jiang family flowing through her body. It's a pity that she is a loser from birth."

"You." When the petite woman heard this, she couldn't help but raise her head, revealing an ugly face. Her face shape was perfect, and her facial features were extremely coordinated. The only flaw was that there was a patch of blood between her eyebrows. The mark extends from the center of the eyebrow upward to the forehead, and downward to the right cheek.

At first glance, it looked as if someone had cut her face with a knife, destroying every bit of her supposedly delicate appearance.

When the petite woman heard the Xueying woman say that she was a loser, she couldn't help but show a mixture of sadness and anger on her face. Her big eyes were full of mist, as if she wanted to refute, but in the end she swallowed all the refutations that came to her mouth. Go down, lower your head again and start washing clothes.

"I'm not wrong. I heard that when she was born, a white light flashed. When the midwife saw her, she actually grinned at the midwife, which scared the midwife half to death. The birthmark on her face also became more and more serious. The older I get, if I keep growing like this, my face will be covered with birthmarks in a few years, haha.”

"Giggle, yes, and she was also a master of her parents. Her mother died in childbirth when she was born. Her father was also killed by a monster on the sea on the day she was born. I heard that he was killed in front of many people. Eaten alive."
