Chapter 111: Chapter 110 Too Many Opportunities, Not Rare Anymore

Xie Jiuniang reached out and saved the person.

Doctor Zhao was an elderly man with white hair.

He knew a Detoxification Pill could save a life, but Gouwa’s family couldn’t afford the Spirit Stones needed to buy the pill.

The whole village could pool together the required amount, the problem was, by the time they collected the Spirit Stones and bought the elixir from the city, at least half a day would pass. Meanwhile, Gouwa’s father couldn’t hold on for half an hour.

Thus, Xie Jiuniang was truly the lifesaver for Gouwa’s family.

Doctor Zhao set Gouwa’s father’s bones again.

Xie Jiuniang, being the good person she was, even gave them a first-grade Revitalizing Pill.

Unsurprisingly, the little Stone Elephant was easily acquired.

"Immortal sister, are you leaving?" Gouwa ran over and grabbed the hem of her robe.

Xie Jiuniang looked down and said, "Yes."

"Then wait for me, I want to say goodbye to my parents."

"Pfft! Haha."

Xie Jiuniang was amused by the child’s serious appearance and playfully suggested, "Then you stay at home for now, and come find me when you’re grown up."

"Really?" Gouwa was delighted.

Jian Lingyan reminded in a milky voice, "This little kid has a Spirit Root, you know."

Hmm?

Xie Jiuniang was surprised.

After thinking it over, she left Gouwa the Qi Attraction mantra and Qi Cultivation Technique, which were common and wouldn’t attract the envy of other cultivators.

At the same time, she secretly left behind a hundred Spirit Stones.

Not long after leaving the village, a person came by asking after Xie Jiuniang’s whereabouts.

And Xie Jiuniang quickly realized she was being followed.

"Little Jianjian, do you know who the person is?" Xie Jiuniang firstly suspected the Wu Family.

Jian Lingyan said, "I don’t know, a male Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivator. I’ve seen him at the Sect Market."

"So he wasn’t following me before?" Xie Jiuniang raised an eyebrow.

Jian Lingyan’s childlike voice took pleasure in her misfortune, "You’ve been riding the Little Flying Boat all the time, your whereabouts unpredictable, and you didn’t stop even when it got dark. He took a month to find you, after all."

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator was indeed distressed over the past month.

He originally thought that monitoring a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator would be easy, but it turned out to be the opposite, extremely grueling. His tracking target traveled by the Rongsheng Trading Company’s new type of Little Flying Boat, practically burning through quality Spirit Stones with no end in sight.

That’s why he hated these disciples with backgrounds and an endless supply of Spirit Stones the most!

Xie Jiuniang went to the nearest city—Fengyue City. The common story in the Fangshi is that the city was built by an ascended great power known by the Taoist name Fengyue, though the truth of this was no longer verifiable.

She spent a Spirit Stone to enter the city.

Xie Jiuniang efficiently found the best inn and rented a private courtyard.

Alone with her sword, she began to study the Stone Elephant.

Xie Jiuniang touched her chin, "I’m studying a fart with you, let’s just drip blood and try it out..."

Upon dripping blood, the Stone Elephant showed no reaction.

The blood could not merge into it.

"Master, drip it here."

Jian Lingyan pointed to a spot on the front of the Stone Elephant’s forehead, where there seemed to be a small pattern that was hard to notice without close inspection.

Xie Jiuniang examined it with her Divine Sense, and when her Divine Sense penetrated the interior of the pattern,

suddenly, a flash of light.

New information appeared in her mind?

It was a part of the Puppetry Technique’s inheritance!

After a long while, Xie Jiuniang slowly opened her eyes, unaffected, "There are so many opportunities, I’m not even surprised anymore."

Snap!

The Broken Sword knocked against her head.

She winced in pain.

Trying to catch the Broken Sword, she couldn’t keep up.

The childlike voice said indignantly, "That’s for showing off, for showing off!"

Xie Jiuniang’s mouth twitched.

It was just a spontaneous comment she made, but why was the Broken Sword jealous?

Ignoring the Sword Spirit, she started to study the Puppetry Technique that was now in her mind.

This Puppet Technique belonged to Fengyue.

The inheritance was incomplete, only the first half was present, but it was still profound. If she hadn’t read related content in her family’s archives, she would probably find it very confusing.

The Seal Moon Puppet Technique was a lost inheritance in the Cultivation World. It was not about controlling dead bodies to fight; it involved Mechanical Techniques, Artifact Refining, Formations, and other knowledge, similar to Artifact Refining, creating puppets from various materials.

For example, the Stone Elephant was a very powerful Puppet.

It was one of Fengyue’s proud creations.

After being shrouded in dust for countless years, the pearl had finally ended up in the hands of Xie Jiuniang.

Xie Jiuniang recalled the whereabouts of the Stone Elephant in her past life; in the end, it was Gongsun Xue who obtained it.

Because Gongsun Xue was renowned in the Cultivation World in her previous life for her Puppetry Technique, outshining a host of geniuses and making others profoundly wary of her.

Xie Jiuniang asked, "Little Jianjian, has the person following us entered the city?"

"Yes, they have also taken a small courtyard in the inn."

"Keep an eye on him, and it would be best if you find out which aristocratic family he belongs to. I initially suspected he was from the Wu Family, but now I’m starting to doubt it’s the Gongsun Family."

"Alright then, I’m keeping watch." Jian Lingyan locked onto that person’s small courtyard.

And sure enough, there was a breakthrough that very night.

Jian Lingyan jumped up and down excitedly, "Someone came to see that person, Mistress, you’re impressive, it really is that Gongsun Xue."

"It really is her."

"They’ve found out about the Stone Elephant and are discussing how to take it from you, Mistress."

"An incessant pest."

Xie Jiuniang sneered, letting a drop of her blood fall onto the totem on the forehead of the Stone Elephant; then, using the inherited methods, she quickly formed seals to claim ownership.

Hum!

The ordinary-looking Stone Elephant suddenly shone with light.

A few breaths later, the originally lifeless eyes of the Stone Elephant blinked and gradually became animated.

This transformation was like a miracle.

Xie Jiuniang was astounded, feeling a faint connection with the Stone Elephant.

Controlling the Stone Elephant was simple; it moved with her intentions.

The moment she thought for it to grow larger, it did just that in the next second!

Raising a leg or walking were all done according to her will.

Xie Jiuniang liked it very much indeed.

Just at this moment, someone triggered the formation outside.

Xie Jiuniang put away the Stone Elephant and called out, "Who’s there?"

"Mistress, it’s me. The innkeeper sent me to ask if there’s anything you need?" The waiter spoke respectfully from outside.

Xie Jiuniang thought to herself.

This innkeeper is really trying every way to make guests spend Spirit Stones.

Xie Jiuniang said, "It’s not needed."

"Alright then, sorry to disturb you. If you need anything, just ring the bell in front of the door."

"I understand." Xie Jiuniang responded casually.

Jian Lingyan chuckled, "Mistress, I have a new discovery."

"That waiter was arranged by Gongsun Xue, wasn’t he?" Xie Jiuniang countered.

Jian Lingyan was stunned, "How did you know, Mistress?"

"I guessed. It’s not difficult." If she stayed secluded in the courtyard all the time, those who were watching her would become anxious.

Like worrying that she might take away the chance hidden inside the Stone Elephant?

Xie Jiuniang stood up, straightened her sleeves, and said, "Alright, it’s time for us to go out."

She walked out of the small courtyard as if nothing had happened, with a calm and serene air.

She didn’t show any joy from gaining the fortune.

Oh, she was just being her genuine self; she wasn’t really happy, truly.

She had too many opportunities, and they no longer seemed rare to her.

It must be said that Xie Jiuniang’s calmness reassured those who were spying on her quite a bit.

In a private room on the second floor.

The Protector of Gongsun Xue was a Nascent Soul Elder.

The Elder said, "Miss, she doesn’t appear as though she has gained a significant opportunity."

"She doesn’t seem like it, too composed." Gongsun Xue had received a message from her family and rushed to Fengyue City for a big opportunity. Earlier, Tianji Building had calculated that an opportunity belonging to her might appear in Fengyue City.

Gongsun Xue asked, "Did the family really say that girl has a great fortune?"

"It’s true. The Wu Family has recently suffered a significant loss, which is said to be related to her. Moreover, there is word that she snatched an opportunity from Xie Ying."

"Wasn’t it said that it’s Xie Ying who is the Child of Destiny?"

"Tianji Building only said that the destiny lies with someone from the Xie Family of Yunmu City, and this girl is also from the Xie Family. The Elder has instructed you not to jump to conclusions too early. Sometimes, the more improbable it seems, the more likely it is."

"I understand."

What neither of them could have expected was that someone seemed calm because she had too many opportunities and no longer found them rare.

If they knew the truth, it would probably destabilize their cultivation from frustration.
