Qingyun Ridge, under the mountain gate archway.
Xie Jingshan stood in the archway, looking at the old servant outside the archway with a smile on his face, his brows furrowed.
"Why are you the one delivering the things?"
On both sides of the archway, the disciples guarding the mountain gate were extremely terrified, because the old servant was a Jindan Zhenren and they dared not offend him.
The old servant smiled and said, "The ancestor missed you, and asked me to bring the Shadow Jade and save some images for him."
Xie Jingshan was horrified, "If you dare to take that thing out, I will never forgive you!"
After saying that, Xie Jingshan gave some spirit stones to the gatekeeper disciples and told them to go to a distant place and wait for a while. He refused to leave the mountain gate archway. The old servant could not come in without the Tianyan Sect token.
"My little sir, I'm really not here to arrest you. Look, everything you want is here. Here it is."
Xie Jingshan was unmoved. "Throw it in. Don't try to trick me. I'm so smart now. The tricks you used to catch me when I was a kid won't work."
The old servant was helpless. "Young Master, just follow me back. It's not easy to get on the Sword Immortal Ranking. I'll just spend some spirit stones to buy you a place on the ranking for a year just for fun. If you shut up the old master, he won't be able to say anything."
Xie Jingshan gritted his teeth and said, "It's nothing to have a few bucks. I, Xie Jingshan, will rely on my own efforts to get on the Sword Immortal Ranking. I'm not afraid to tell you that the Tianyan Sect's Grand Elder said in person that I was a Sword Immortal in my previous life. It's too easy for me to follow the old path in this life!"
"My little master is indeed extraordinary and amazing."
Xie Jingshan: …
"Throw your stuff in and leave quickly, it's so annoying!"
The old servant had no choice but to throw the storage ring into the mountain gate.
"Young Master, I understand that you want books and jade slips on various miscellaneous disciplines, but why do you want a book on carpentry? Didn't you say you wanted to practice swordsmanship? And I have always been puzzled, why don't you go to Guiyuan Sword Sect to practice swordsmanship?"
Xie Jingshan checked the things in the ring. There were thousands of books in the ring, but he couldn't find the longevity pill.
In fact, he originally wanted to go to Guiyuan Sword Sect, but when he got near Tianyan Sect, he didn't know how he got in.
I regretted it before, but now... I'm so lucky!
"I'll give you the things and you can go now. Don't bother me if there's nothing else. Tell the ancestor that I will naturally come back after a hundred years when I have mastered the sword art. Tell him to take care of himself and stop arguing with my father. As for my mother, forget it. She must be having fun outside and doesn't know that I have entered the Tianyan Sect. Let's go, let's go quickly."
Xie Jingshan turned and left. The old servant sighed helplessly, then rode on a beam of light and disappeared into the clouds on the mountain top.

The entrance of Huaxi Valley.
Jiang Yuebai paced back and forth, looking forward to it.
She got up early today, harvested a new batch of thorn fruits from the spiritual field, and went straight to the entrance of the valley, where she had been waiting since noon.
Xie Jingshan hadn't arrived yet, so Jiang Yuebai took a breath and sat down beside the pond at the entrance of the valley, counting the harvested thorn fruits to temporarily divert his attention.
The thorn berries ripen once a month, and she has harvested them three times since she planted them.
Each fruit usually contains three to five thorn seeds that can be used for fighting. She took good care of them and the fruit always contained five.
All in all, he now has more than 500 thorn seeds on him, and the number of seeds has increased from nine to eight. The strength of the thorns has increased, and they can breed wood poison, which can disrupt the spiritual energy of the monks.
Among them are the alien species she bred, the fire thorns and the ice thorns.
Fire thorns are fire-toxic and will catch fire if they touch a person's body. Ice thorns, on the other hand, are more lethal than wood thorns.
The method was seen in a miscellaneous book in the library. It was to replace the plant and wood formula that nourished the fruit with the red flame formula of fire attribute. Over time, the fruit would mutate.
The same goes for the ice thorns. She lets the Ice Beetle King attach to the fruit and releases ice aura into the fruit.
There were many failures during the process, but in the end, I successfully harvested eighty fire thorns and thirty ice thorns.
"Jiang Yuebai!"
There was a crane cry, Jiang Yuebai saw the white crane land on the ground, and Xie Jingshan jumped down.
"Take it."
When the medicine bottle was thrown into her hands, Jiang Yuebai felt as if in a dream. The longevity elixir that her grandfather had been begging for for many years now fell into her hands so easily
Xie Jingshan raised his chin slightly, about to show off his ability, but suddenly he glared.
"How did you break through again?"
Jiang Yuebai was stunned for a moment, "I reached the fourth level of Qi training a month ago, and you just found out? I thought Senior Sister Lu told you."
Xie Jingshan was annoyed and said viciously: "This thing is worth 50,000 low-grade spirit stones. If you don't pay it back, you will have to work for my shop for the rest of your life. When the time comes, I will ask you to run errands every day. Let's see how you can surpass me."
Xie Jingshan was stunned. He was a little uncomfortable that Jiang Yuebai didn't argue with him or suppress him.
"Give me some time, I will definitely pay you back the fifty thousand spirit stones."
"It's not urgent, and it's not much..."
"I'm giving you the firethorn I planted. I'm leaving now. I'll thank you properly when Grandpa is through with his troubles."
Jiang Yuebai put thirty firethorn seeds in an ordinary cloth bag and stuffed it into Xie Jingshan's pocket, then ran to his own yard impatiently.
Stepping into the courtyard, Jiang Yuebai found the door of the north room closed. He approached cautiously, holding the medicine bottle tightly and standing at the door waiting.
She was afraid of disturbing her grandfather who was in seclusion absorbing the essence of the Burning Heart Flower to relieve the poison, and there was a protective formation on the door, so she couldn't get in.
clang!
Jiang Yuebai was startled when a heavy object fell to the ground. Seeing the protective formation on the door gradually collapse, she immediately pushed the door open and went in.
The vase fell to the ground and broke into pieces. The Burning Heart Mother Flower withered quickly and was dying.
Tao Fengnian curled up on the couch, spitting blood, his body full of veins bulging and in extreme pain.
"grandfather!"
Jiang Yuebai rushed forward, Tao Fengnian grabbed her wrist, and stared at her with bloodshot eyes.

At that time, deep in the Hedan Palace.
A palace lady was drawing her eyebrows in front of the mirror, looking extremely charming and beautiful. Jia Wei, who had eyes and eyebrows somewhat similar to hers, stood beside her and handed her a precious hairpin with both hands.
Behind the two men, an old man with white hair and beard was kneeling, with a Xiancao Tower pharmacist badge on his waist.
The woman in palace dress glanced at him in the mirror and asked unhappily, "Du Zhong, you clearly told me that he must die within three months. It's been almost four months now, why haven't I seen any movement from Tao Fengnian? You don't want the foundation-building pill anymore, right?"
Du Zhong shuddered and said quickly, "It may be that Tao Fengnian took good care of himself these days, so he was delayed for a few more days. But don't worry, if he eats the poisonous insect, even gods can't save him."
Du Zhong glanced at Jia Wei secretly. Jia Wei came close to Jia Xiuchun and said with a smile, "Don't worry too much, sister. I went to see Tao Fengnian a few days ago. He does retreat at noon every day. He must have taken the poisonous insect."
"And I also mentioned the matter of possessing another body to the little girl in his family as you instructed. As long as Tao Fengnian's poison takes effect, he will have no choice but to possess another body if he wants to survive. No matter who survives between him and the little girl, it will be hard for them both."
Jia Xiuchun closed his eyes and took a breath. "Before Elder Lin went into seclusion, he specifically told me that he didn't want to see Tao Fengnian again when he came out of seclusion, and he couldn't let him die easily. Tao Fengnian almost killed Elder Lin that year. Elder Lin was suffering from the cold poison and was in unbearable pain. He must not get away with it."
Jia Wei nodded, "Yes, I have never made his life easy these years. I have been squeezing him every other day, which is like killing him. He regards that little girl as precious as a pearl or jade. If he really wants to take over the girl's body just to survive, he must feel that life is worse than death."
Jia Xiuchun raised his eyebrows.
Du Zhong hurriedly said, "Don't worry, the poison has entered his soul. Even if he succeeds in taking over another body, he won't be able to get rid of the poison. He will just suffer for a few more days."
Jia Xiuchun curled his lips and smiled, "Very good, when Elder Lin comes out of retreat, I will ask for a foundation-building pill for you, go down."
Du Zhong left. Jia Wei glanced outside the door and asked in a low voice, "Sister, your beauty is considered the best in the Tianyan Sect. Don't you feel wronged to always serve an old man like Lin Xiangtian? There are so many Yuanying Zhenjun in the Tianyan Sect..."
"Shut up!"
Jia Xiuchun glared at him angrily, and Jia Wei shut up in dismay.
Jia Xiuchun said: "If you let me hear such words again in the future, you will never get a spirit stone or a pill from me again!"
Jia Wei slapped his mouth and begged for mercy.
Jia Xiuchun looked at herself in the mirror and said quietly, "If he hadn't wandered around the mortal world to redeem me, I would have died in the brothel long ago. How could I have the fate of being an immortal today, and how could I have a good life like you!"
Jia Wei disagreed, "He just saw that you have a special physique, so he used you to test the medicine."
"So what if I'm testing drugs? Do you know what kind of life I'm living in that brothel? Get out! Don't let me see you these few days! Get out!!"
Jia Xiuchun knocked over all the rouge on the table. Jia Wei fled in embarrassment, left the Hedan Palace, and looked towards the Huaxi Valley.
"Old Tao must have saved a lot of money. Since he is going to die, he can't let others get away with it."
