Chapter 307: Chapter 306: My Excellence Makes People Feel Inferior

Xuanyuan You immediately stood up when he heard her voice and turned around with surprise, "Little Profiteer, you’re back!"

Xie Jiuniang looked at him with suspicion, "I just went to the Main Peak, and the way you talk, it’s as if you’ve been waiting for me for a very long time."

"It’s just that we haven’t seen each other for a very long time." Xuanyuan You said with emotion.

Xie Jiuniang suspected that nobody else had been around to listen to his ramblings, so she quickly changed the subject, "How’s your hammer technique coming along? I remember you said that you wouldn’t come out of seclusion until you made a name for yourself."

"The difference between a person’s thoughts and reality can be quite large." Xuanyuan You’s cheeks turned a little red.

"You’ve finally grown up and started using your brain."

"Your words sound kind of strange."

"No, it’s just your imagination." Xie Jiuniang walked past him and continued forward, with Xuanyuan You trailing after her eagerly.

The oddness of Xuanyuan You a moment ago was soon forgotten, "Little Profiteer, why aren’t you a bit excited?"

"Excited about what?" Xie Jiuniang asked in confusion.

"The Tianjiao Ranking has changed again!"

Xuanyuan You’s voice grew louder as he spoke, "The top of the ranking! The top spot has changed to you, you’re now leading the Tianjiao Ranking. Aren’t you happy?"

"Ah? I’m at the top now."

Xie Jiuniang’s rare sense of vanity was satisfied, and she joyfully added, "Those trailing behind me all came here to bother me before. Being at the top is sure to bring in another wave of profit, right, Xuanyuan? Should we start preparing, so we don’t end up in a panic later?"

Xuanyuan You’s smile froze.

He definitively was thinking too much!

Not even a single mosquito had come to challenge him.

They couldn’t beat the ones at the tail end of the ranking.

And now at the top, those people would only stay far away. Is it because Spirit Stones aren’t attractive enough, or is the pain of being defeated too much to bear?

Initially, his thoughts were the same as the Little Profiteer’s; he was so excited upon receiving the news that he wanted to share it with her, but then after following the situation for a few days, there was no change in Xi’an City, nothing like the bustling activity when the Little Profiteer first entered the Tianjiao Ranking.

Xuanyuan You said dryly, "Little Profiteer, there’s no need to prepare. You’ve been on the ranking for quite some days now, and not a single person has come to the Tianxu Sect to challenge you."

"Impossible." Xie Jiuniang found it hard to believe.

"Don’t believe me? Go and ask around for yourself."

"Could it be that I’m too outstanding, causing the young people of the Eastern Region to develop an inferiority complex?" Xie Jiuniang crossed her arms, contemplating.

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan You strongly agreed, "You’re absolutely right. If nobody dares to come over and issue a challenge, isn’t that a sign of inferiority? I wonder why I didn’t realize this before; that must be the reason."

The four Great Demon Guards secretly observing them fell silent.

Is this a characteristic of humans? An inexplicable self-confidence!

After thinking it over, the two of them realized that being at the bottom of the list was actually better than being at the top.

At least at the bottom, you could still make some money.

Being at the top only gave you a reputation, without any tangible benefits.

Once they arrived at the cave residence.

Xuanyuan You wouldn’t stop talking, blabbering on and on, the spirit of gossip never ceasing.

He even knew that something major had happened in the Southeast Sea!

"Little Profiteer, you probably don’t know, but the Ao Family has done so many bad things behind the scenes. Many people from the Cultivation World who have gone missing appeared in the Shadow Stones."

"I think the Ao Family is in for bad luck now. Some of those people come from pretty impressive backgrounds."

What Xuanyuan You knew was news that even Xie Jiuniang didn’t know, "Do you know? The Ren Family, Ren Bingyan’s family, a clan sister who disappeared years ago, turned up in the Shadow Stone..."

Xie Jiuniang was shocked, "The Ao Family is too audacious!"

"Right? There’s going to be a lot of commotion now. A Divinity Transformation from the Ren Family has already gone to the Southeast Sea."

Xuanyuan You was incredibly well-informed.

Xie Jiuniang listened with great interest, simultaneously digging out the Enlightenment Tea Tree, then took out a Spiritual Jade Pot, but finding it a bit too small, she casually pulled out a large block of Spirit Stone.

It was a huge block of unprocessed Spirit Stone.

Larger than a double bed, she swiftly hollowed out the center with the Broken Sword and roughly shaped the perimeter into a large flowerpot.

Xuanyuan You talked and talked, the more he spoke, the more he was dumbfounded, "Little Profiteer, you, you, you are..."

"The Spiritual Jade Pot is too small, get a bigger one."

"Are these Superior Spirit Stones?!"

Xuanyuan You reached out and felt it, and indeed, it was a flowerpot made from Superior Spirit Stones.

Extravagant! Too extravagant!

Xie Jiuniang ignored his astonishment and placed the small tea tree, which was only half a zhang high, along with the clump of soil around its roots, into the Spirit Stone pot.

There were still some gaps around.

She threw out a Puppet to go outside and dig up some Spiritual Soil to fill the pot, and even added the shavings of Spirit Stone she had just cut, all into the pot. She originally wanted to pour some Spiritual Liquid, but seeing Xuanyuan You gaping in shock next to her, she instead opted for ordinary Spiritual Spring Water for watering.

Recalling what Chaoruo had said, Xie Jiuniang turned to the Cleansing Spiritual Grass nearby and dug out some Breath Soil from under the Spiritual Jade Pot.

The Cleansing Spiritual Grass was already close to maturity.

In a while, it might be possible to propagate from the plant.

Xie Jiuniang planted the Breath Soil into the Spirit Stone pot to grow the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

"Is, is this the Cleansing Spiritual Grass that I saw last time?" Xuanyuan You, who had been rendered speechless by Xie Jiuniang’s extravagant yet rough planting method, began to question his life.

Seeing the thriving Cleansing Spiritual Grass, he began to have doubts.

In his mind, the Cleansing Spiritual Grass from before should have withered by now...

Xie Jiuniang said, "It’s exactly that one. Otherwise, do you think there’s so much Cleansing Spiritual Grass in the world?"

"But it, it’s growing so fast."

Xuanyuan You was so nervous that he stuttered as he spoke.

Then he looked at the newly planted small tea tree, "And this tea tree, it looks so much like an Enlightenment Tea. Is it?"

Xie Jiuniang finally looked up at him.

This guy had a good eye.

Truly worthy of being a pupil brought up by a major family, no matter how unworthy he was, his vision was still there.

While Xie Jiuniang was planting trees comfortably in the Tianxu Sect, the actions she took caused a stir in the Southeast Sea, turning the world upside down and causing unrest.

The two Divinity Transformation members of the Ao Family went back, constantly searching for the murderer, and the Southeast Sea was nearly turned inside out because of them.

Some cultivators who had escaped earlier were captured and brought back, and their fates were naturally not good.

However, the days when the Ao Family Divinity Transformations captured people did not last long.

Many strong individuals whose younger family members had gone missing rushed to the Southeast Sea. In their great fury, the remaining members of the Ao Family suffered. Some were captured, and others were killed.

The two Divinity Transformation members of the Ao Family had originally intended to save people.

But amidst the siege from numerous powerful figures, in the end, one died and one was injured.

The severely injured Ao Family Divinity Transformation managed to escape but was untraceable for a moment.

The Ao Family, besieged by the crowd, was doomed to destruction.

The few cultivation families that were on good terms with them wanted to help but were too late, or to put it bluntly, didn’t dare to intervene.

The murder of some of their younger members incited many powerful figures.

They were killing madly in the Southeast Sea.

Anyone involved with the Ao Family would be targeted for their wrath.

There was no reasoning at all.

Unlike the destruction of the Gongsun Family, whose demise was related to the Great Sun Golden Flames and seen as a natural disaster in the eyes of many,

The downfall of the Ao Family was a man-made disaster!

Some who witnessed the fall of the Gongsun Family simply felt a chill in their hearts.

But now, they were truly terrified.

Anxiety and unease...
