Chapter 420 -86: Unexpected Gains, Ancient Immortal Treasures (Requesting Monthly Votes!)_2

At that moment, he also understood that a small place is a small place after all.

The county town is ultimately just a county town.

The resources of a county town were hardly sufficient to meet his current needs.

It was like when he had wanted the three pills needed for Martial Arts Sixth Grade, Wanhua Building didn’t have any stock and even had to make use of Lin Qingyi’s connections to buy them from other places.

It was obvious that if he were to enter the Fifth Grade, obtaining the needed external aids in Luoshui County would be nearly impossible.

Now, he roughly estimated that he had only spent about thirteen or fourteen thousand taels of silver in his large purchases.

“It should still not be enough!” he muttered to himself.

At that moment,

a sudden inspiration struck him, and he remembered the Red Flame Fruit he had bought last time.

After tasting it, it didn’t seem to bring much benefit to his body.

But upon reflection afterward, the fruit had provided him with many Source Energy Points.

With that in mind,

Jiang Ning immediately said, “Manager Han!”

“Mr. Jiang, what do you need?” replied Han Hongmei.

Jiang Ning asked, “Do you have any spirit fruits similar to the Red Flame Fruit from the Ancient Times?”

“Are you looking for spirit plants needed for Immortal Skills?” asked Han Hongmei.

“Exactly!” Jiang Ning nodded.

“Such items are called Immortal Treasures; they are essential for our ancestors who embarked on the path to immortality. Let me check for you!” Han Hongmei responded.

“No problem!” Jiang Ning nodded.

…

A little later,

Han Hongmei reappeared before Jiang Ning.

“Mr. Jiang, I indeed found several Immortal Treasures, but they are a bit expensive,” she said.

Jiang Ning said, “Let’s hear it.”

Han Hongmei said, “I just found four Immortal Treasures. Three of them cost ten thousand taels of silver each, and another costs one hundred thousand taels of silver.”

One hundred thousand taels!

Jiang Ning took in a sharp breath.

He could manage to produce twenty or thirty thousand taels now.

But one hundred thousand taels was absolutely out of his reach unless he sold all the Contribution Points he had earned at the inspection house.

However, he would never do that.

Contribution Points were far more precious than silver.

With his current rate of progress, it wouldn’t be long before he reached the Fifth Grade Internal Strength Realm.

Once he achieved Fifth Grade, with his current accumulation of internal and external cultivation, he wouldn’t be confined by the Fifth Grade for long.

Continuing upward, he was completely in the dark.

Whether theoretical foundations, realm explanations, or cultivation methods, he knew nothing.

To acquire more advanced cultivation methods, he could only rely on the inspection house.

How could he access those things without increasing his authority at the inspection house?

At that moment,

Han Hongmei looked at Jiang Ning with a respectful expression, “Mr. Jiang, would you like me to continue the introduction?”

“Please continue, Manager Han,” Jiang Ning said.

Han Hongmei immediately responded, “The first Immortal Treasure is a type of spirit plant, the Star Grass. Its age is unknown, and it is said to have absorbed numerous starlights, which is how it got its name.”

Its selling price is ten thousand taels of silver.”

“The second Immortal Treasure is the Water and Flame Spirit Fruit. According to ancient records, this fruit contains the extreme spirit qualities of both water and fire, which greatly aids cultivators with the Water and Fire attributes from Ancient Times.”

“The third Immortal Treasure is the Ten Thousand Wood Tree Heart, which according to ancient records, contains spirit qualities of the wood attribute.”

“As for the fourth Immortal Treasure, it consists of five types of spiritual fruits—each representing one of the attributes: the Gold Extreme Spirit Fruit for the gold attribute, the Green Wood Spirit Fruit for the wood attribute, the Mysterious Water Spirit Fruit for the water attribute, the Flame Spirit Fruit for the fire attribute, and the Earth Spirit Fruit for the earth attribute.”

According to ancient records, these items could change the physique of cultivators from Ancient Times, making them more compatible with the Five Elements attributes.”

“Unfortunately, the environment of heaven and earth has greatly changed nowadays compared to Ancient Times, and these highly valued Immortal Treasures from Ancient Times can only be tasted for their flavor, with no other benefits!”

Upon hearing Han Hongmei’s statement, Jiang Ning immediately took note of her last sentence.

Then he asked, “Does Manager Han know what caused this great change in heaven and earth?”

Han Hongmei, smiling, shook her head, “Such secretive knowledge is beyond my status! However, I have heard a saying that it is due to the scattering of heavenly and earthly spirits that caused such a change.”

Heavenly and earthly spirits scattered?

Jiang Ning pondered silently.

Then he looked at Han Hongmei, “Manager Han, I would like to buy the Water and Flame Spirit Fruit.”

“Sure!” Han Hongmei immediately nodded, “I will bring it to Mr. Jiang now.”

…

A moment later,

Jiang Ning stepped out of the grand entrance of the Wanhua Building.

Above on the rooftop,

Lin Qingyi watched Jiang Ning’s departing figure, “You are indeed kind-hearted!”

A smile formed at the corner of her mouth.

Jiang Ning had just visited her, and his request was simple: he wanted to secure Lv Yi’s freedom.

Facing such a request from Jiang Ning, she naturally agreed.

She didn’t even accept the redemption fee Lv Yi had prepared in advance but had Manager Han bring Lv Yi’s indenture contract, which she destroyed on the spot.

As for the duplicate contract stored at the government office, she only needed to send someone to speak a word.

Subsequently,

She saw Jiang Ning entering the carriage.

Lin Qingyi slowly withdrew her gaze and turned it towards Lv Yi beside her.

“Little Lv, you have regained your freedom, what are your plans for the future?”

Hearing this, Lv Yi knelt in front of Lin Qingyi with a thud, “Master, I still wish to continue working for the building.”

“You are now free and no longer a servant; you don’t need to refer yourself as one.” Lin Qingyi spoke indifferently.

“Yes!” Lv Yi knelt before Lin Qingyi, bowing her head slightly.

“Lift your head!” Lin Qingyi suddenly spoke, looking at Lv Yi kneeling before her.

Hearing this, Lv Yi slowly raised her head, looking at Lin Qingyi with some fear.

“You have quite a lovely face!” Lin Qingyi’s mouth slowly curled into a smile.

The next moment.

She spoke, “Would you like to stay by Jiang Ning’s side?”

“Master, I…”

“Speak the truth!” Lin Qingyi spoke again.

“Yes!” Lv Yi slowly nodded.

“Then,” Lin Qingyi slowly spoke, “Jiang Ning currently has no one to take care of his daily needs, and you being newly freed, you should go to him and ask him to take you in! Take good care of him, spare him from wasting time on trivial daily matters, understand?”

Hearing Lin Qingyi’s decisive tone, Lv Yi immediately bowed her head, “Yes, Master!”

After a moment of hesitation, still kneeling, she looked up at Lin Qingyi, “Master, do you want me to stay by Young Master Jiang’s side to monitor him? Such matters, I… I…”

Seeing Lv Yi’s hesitant expression, Lin Qingyi couldn’t help but smile wryly.

“What are you thinking?”

“You only need to wholeheartedly take care of him, managing his daily needs and meals.”

“But remember, do not entertain any excessive thoughts or actions, understand?”

Hearing this, Lv Yi nodded again, “Yes, Master!”

…

Elsewhere.

Jiang Ning sat in the carriage.

The snow on the road had been cleared and melted long ago, and the carriage carried him towards his home, running exceptionally smoothly.

Sitting in the carriage, a jade box suddenly appeared in his hands.

Inside the jade box lay the Immortal Treasure he had just purchased, the Water and Flame Spirit Fruit,

valued at ten thousand taels of silver.

Even with a twenty percent discount, it had cost him eight thousand taels of silver.

Today’s expenses had exceeded the value of the gold brick formed from the golden box.

He had even had to dip into his savings, considerably reducing his personal wealth.

Now, he was left with but a few thousand taels of silver.

However, he was satisfied with today’s acquisition.

The Water and Flame Spirit Fruit, an Immortal Treasure, was something he eagerly anticipated.

Based on the feedback from the last time he consumed the Vermilion Fruit, Immortal Treasures could provide many Source Energy Points.

Compared with ordinary Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Immortal Treasures might provide even more Source Energy Points.

“Perhaps, there could be other gains as well!” Jiang Ning thought to himself, recalling what Han Hongmei had said.

The next moment.

He unsealed the seams of the jade box, successfully opening it.

Immediately, a fruity fragrance wafted out.

What presented itself before his eyes was a fruit the size of an ordinary potato.

One half was red, and the other half blue.

The two colors intertwined like a merging vortex.

“According to Han Hongmei, this fruit contains the extreme spiritual essence of both water and fire, greatly beneficial for cultivators with water and fire attributes from Ancient Times.”

“I wonder if it will have any additional benefits for me now.”

Jiang Ning thought of the superior martial arts he currently mastered, the Water and Fire True Strength.

According to his knowledge, the Water and Fire True Strength, a superior martial arts, was derived from the Ancient Immortal Skills, the Water and Fire Treasure Book.

“If it proves effective, then I must obtain those five Five Elements Spiritual Fruits!”
