"What is she doing here?!" Lin Sui Wan exclaimed in surprise.
Jia Xiuchun's heart was filled with alarm, "Elder, be careful, there may be a scam."
Lin Xiangtian's eyes moved slightly, "Call someone in."
"yes."
Lin Suiwan looked at Jia Xiuchun anxiously, and Jia Xiuchun shook his head slightly, "I'll stay here with the elder, Wanwan, you go down first."
Lin Suiwan bit her lip and said goodbye, leaving through the small door inside.
Not long after, Qi Ming led Jiang Yuebai over.
Standing outside the door, Jiang Yuebai saw Jia Xiuchun for the first time.
Jia Xiuchun looked arrogant. Even though she was serving Lin Xiangtian like a maid, she still maintained the aura of a foundation-building cultivator. She narrowed her peach blossom eyes and looked at Jiang Yuebai with contempt.
Lin Xiangtian's eyes fell on the white jade token of the inner disciple on Jiang Yuebai's waist. It was made of the same material as the token on his body. Thinking back to the year in front of the mountain gate, he could easily crush the little girl to death with just a wave of his hand. It was incredible that she could grow up to this point.
Jiang Yuebai glanced at the two of them, looking relaxed and fearless as he stepped over the threshold and entered the house.
"Jiang Yuebai pays respect to Elder Lin."
Inner disciples did not have to kneel before anyone, Jiang Yuebai only bowed slightly.
She ignored Jia Xiuchun, which made Jia Xiuchun look a little unhappy, but she couldn't show it in front of Lin Xiangtian.
Lin Xiangtian said nothing, released the pressure of a Jindan Zhenren, slowly picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.
He put down the teacup and asked, "Why do you want to see me? Have you become an inner sect disciple and are here to seek revenge against me?"
Jiang Yuebai stood up straight despite the pressure from Jindan Zhenren, his expression still as relaxed as usual.
"Of course not. I came here for three reasons today: to thank you, to apologize, and to cooperate."
"Oh?" Lin Xiangtian raised his eyebrows and Jia Xiuchun became alert.
Jiang Yuebai said calmly, "I am grateful to Elder Lin for knocking at the mountain gate that year. It made me realize that there is always someone better than you. Since then, I have been cautious and diligent, and only then can I live to this day and achieve this success."
Lin Xiangtian's expression relaxed slightly. "Do you really think so? Are you not mocking me?"
Jiang Yuebai was sincere and his eyes were clear. "Of course, if Elder Lin hadn't warned me, I would have died eight hundred times already because I was so young and didn't know how high the heavens were."
"You are quite sensible."
Jia Xiuchun frowned, feeling that something was fishy.
Jiang Yuebai raised her eyes and suddenly looked at Jia Xiuchun. The sharpness that flashed in her eyes made her heart tremble, but the next moment, there was only a sincere smile on Jiang Yuebai's face, as if that sharpness was just an illusion of Jia Xiuchun.
"Uncle Jia, I am young and ignorant, and I have offended you before. I hope Uncle Jia will forgive me for the sake of Elder Lin."
Jia Xiuchun opened her eyes wide, confused by Jiang Yuebai.
"Uncle Jia and I actually have no grudges against each other. Everything started because of Tao Fengnian. I have been living in fear in the Yinshan Mine for these years. I know that I cannot compete with Elder Lin's power. I came here to apologize today, hoping to make peace. Don't let irrelevant people affect my cooperation with Elder Lin."
"What do you mean by unrelated person? He's my brother!" Jia Xiuchun glared.
Lin Xiangtian raised his hand, and Jia Xiuchun suppressed his anger.
"When did I cooperate with you?" Lin Xiangtian asked.
"It didn't happen before, but it will happen in the future. Elder Lin should know that I have obtained the Spiritual Farmer's token. The spiritual herbs needed by the alchemy elders need to be planted by spiritual farmers. The quality of the spiritual herbs is related to the quality of the pills made by the alchemists, so Elder Lin must need a good spiritual farmer."
Lin Xiangtian didn't take it seriously and chuckled, "There are only about twenty alchemy elders in the Tianyan Sect, but there are more than thirty spiritual cultivators. Do you think I can't find a spiritual cultivator to grow medicine for me?"
Jia Xiuchun raised her chin slightly, with a look of pride and contempt in her eyes. Three years ago, she had chosen Xiao Ankuo, the spiritual cultivator from Ziyun Valley who had mastered all four spells to the fourth level, for Lin Xiangtian.
He is the strongest among all the spiritual farmers at present. Why would Jiang Yuebai, a novice who just passed the spiritual farmer exam, come here and ask for cooperation with him
Jiang Yuebai met Jia Xiuchun's contemptuous gaze head-on and took out the spiritual farmer's token.
One side of the black iron token has a rice pattern, and the other side shows the levels of the three spells during the assessment.
Jiang Yuebai flipped the token and showed the side with the spell level engraved on it to Lin Xiangtian.
"Elder Lin, are you satisfied with the three fifth-level spiritual farming spells I used to grow herbs for you?"
"Fifth floor? That's impossible!"
Jia Xiuchun was stunned. Lin Xiangtian sat up straight and raised his hand to take the token.
Jiang Yuebai was not wrong. The quality of elixir was related to the quality of pills, and the quality of pills directly affected the status of the alchemy elder in the Hedan Palace and even the entire Tianyan Sect.
There is a world of difference between a fifth-level spell and a fourth-level spell. The growth rate and medicinal properties of the elixirs grown here are incomparable to those of a fourth-level spell.
Because of the injury to his golden elixir, Lin Xiangtian's alchemy skills have always been at the bottom of the entire Tianyan Sect. He is looked down upon by other alchemists and his life is not easy.
Before, he didn't dare to think about it or fight for it, but if he had the assistance of Jiang Yuebai's fifth-level spiritual farming technique, the position of the grand elder of the Hedan Palace might not be impossible to compete for.
"Elder, you must not be fooled by her."
Jia Xiuchun was anxious. Her intuition was right. This little girl was speaking half-truths and had no good intentions!
Jiang Yuebai did not shy away from her probing and hostile gaze; this was exactly the effect she wanted.
Even if Jia Xiuchun and Lin Xiangtian knew it was a trap, they would have to jump in!
Jiang Yuebai knew that Lin Xiangtian would definitely be tempted, otherwise why would the other alchemy elders in Hedan Palace offer her such favorable conditions
The spiritual cultivator who has mastered the fifth level of spiritual farming magic has a fatal attraction to the alchemy elders.
But she refused to accept the toast and looked down on everyone, so she just followed Lin Xiangtian.
"Elder Lin, after all, I was once a member of the Lin Mansion. Although Junior Sister Sui Wan and I have some grievances, those were just minor quarrels caused by our youth and ignorance. The Lin Mansion was kind enough to give me a meal back then, and I should repay it. Now that I have finally obtained the status of an inner sect disciple, it is time for me to rise to the top."
"It's easier to avoid an open attack than to guard against an arrow from the dark. I don't want to be on guard every day, and worrying about it will disrupt my practice. I will plant the herbs for any elder I give them to. It's better to turn hostility into friendship and put an end to the worries. You and I will cooperate for mutual benefit. Why not?"
Lin Xiangtian threw the token to Jiang Yuebai, "You are quite insightful."
Jia Xiuchun was extremely anxious but helpless.
"A man who knows the current situation is a hero. I understand the truth. Tao Fengnian was indeed good to me, but he is not my real grandfather. He just used me to take the spiritual farming master exam to ask the sect for the longevity pill. How sincere can he be? In the end, he forced me to take refuge in the Yinshan Mine."
"A dead person is not worth dragging down my cultivation for. The opportunity I can seize right now is what matters. If Elder Lin needs to plant any spiritual medicine in the future, just send someone with a list to Huaxi Valley to find me. I will definitely do my best."
"Also, I found a plant of Earth Flame Gentian Grass by chance in the Yinshan Mine. I have carefully cultivated it over the years and it has reached the seventh grade. I don't know how to make pills, so it is useless to keep it, so I gave it to Elder Lin."
Jiang Yuebai took out the jade box containing the elixir and presented it with both hands.
Lin Xiangtian's eyes lit up slightly, he sucked the box into his hands and opened it, and it was indeed the seventh-grade Earth Flame Gentian.
This medicine is a rare species that only grows wild underground. It can be used to refine the 'Yin Yang Red Blood Pill', which is very effective in resolving the cold poison in his golden elixir. However, this pill is not easy to refine.
Lin Xiangtian casually threw the box to Jia Xiuchun and said nonchalantly, "I need to think about what you said today. Please leave now."
"Yes, Yuebai will take his leave."
Jiang Yuebai bowed and took one last look at the furious Jia Xiuchun. He curled the corners of his lips slightly and turned away.
As soon as Jiang Yuebai left, Jia Xiuchun immediately spoke up.
"Elder, you must not trust her. She has evil intentions and plans!"
Lin Xiangtian's eyebrows showed some displeasure, "I know what she is planning, so you don't need to remind me. Scheming against me? She is still too young."
Jia Xiuchun shuddered, "Don't blame me, Elder. It was Xiuchun who overstepped his authority."
"No need to say anything else. I have my own considerations. She is just a child now. She relies on her status as an inner sect disciple to control this elder. How naive! There are thousands of inner sect disciples. The sect master is in a good mood and praises her. Who knows, she might forget who she is tomorrow. There is no need to be afraid of her."
"But she does have some abilities. We can use her first and kill her when she is no longer useful. She is just a little Qi-cultivating cultivator. What's the harm in letting her cultivate for 10 to 20 years?"
"Put aside your hatred for her first. Right now, my cold poison and the competition for the position of Grand Elder of the Hedan Palace are the most important. You must prioritize. Do you understand?"
Jia Xiuchun bit her lip, feeling uneasy, as if Jiang Yuebai was trying to sow discord between her and Lin Xiangtian. However, she was unable to convince Lin Xiangtian and could only obey.
When Lin Xiangtian wanted to take the jade box, Jia Xiuchun bravely reminded him, "Elder, that girl has bad intentions. You'd better not use this medicine."
Lin Xiangtian's eyes moved slightly, "That's right, I'll leave this Earth Flame Gentian Grass with you first. To preserve its medicinal properties, remember to infuse it with fire spirit energy every day to warm it up. Let me think it through first."
After Lin Xiangtian left, Jia Xiuchun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put away the medicine box, thinking secretly in his heart.
She may not avenge her brother, but she will never let that stinky girl hurt Elder Lin in the slightest!
Even if Elder Lin blames her in the future, she must find a way to eliminate this hidden danger. Raising a tiger to cause trouble once is enough!
Want to grow some magical herbs to lure Elder Lin into a trap
She would not let this little girl recruit any spiritual farmers, just to see how she could farm on her own!
"Qi Ming, tell Xiao Ankuo from Ziyun Valley to come see me immediately!"
Mine clearance: The heroine surrenders to her enemy. If you feel uncomfortable reading this, you can abandon the book.
Explanation: The heroine likes to take revenge on her own, rather than relying on other alchemy elders to ask others for help in revenge. There is no need for others to attack a Jindan Zhenren, either openly or secretly, just because she is useful.
