The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 380 - 226 Cultivation

Looking again at Wu Yunfang, her complexion has indeed greatly improved, and she’s estimated to recover completely after eating some meat porridge upon waking. Tu Jin released a soul avatar to inspect, discovering that they were in luck, Miss Wu should be clear-headed upon awakening without any lingering effects.

Ning Xiaoxian’s complexion also naturally improved significantly, as she finally got her hands on the long-coveted ginseng fruit tree branch!

Lord Wu was, of course, immensely grateful to her, explicitly stating that if there was ever a need for him in the future, she need only ask, then he turned to prepare to deal with the Li Family. Li Xianglian almost caused his beloved daughter to lose her life, this debt needed to be settled thoroughly.

After returning to the Qi Family Mansion, she settled Miluo and then went into the God Demon Prison to plant the tree. The ginseng fruit tree branch looked very ordinary, just a branch as thick as an arm with two leaves, when handed to her, one of the leaves was already half yellow, and the bottom of the branch had also shrunken by half, looking half-dead. Wu Huo had no idea how long he had had this branch, and had always failed to plant it correctly, draining away over half of its stored Life Force. If it hadn’t met a wise owner like her, it would probably have completely died within another hundred or two hundred years.

She took the branch and planted it into the soil, and immediately an anomaly occurred.

The soil instantly allocated about ten meters of land for its exclusive use, showing importance. The originally dying branch, upon contacting the soil, was like a traveler parched for three or four days suddenly finding water, greedily absorbing vigorously. She could even see with her naked eyes countless transparent bubbles in the jelly-like yellow body of the soil being continuously absorbed by the branch.

After a few moments, the tree seemed to have eaten its fill and slowly began to grow its root system, the branch gradually thickening and rounding, seemingly using the branch as the main trunk, regenerating into a towering tree!

"How tall can this tree grow?" she muttered, such a thriving scene is always very encouraging.

"About thirty meters or so," Changtian slowly said, "The tallest ginseng fruit tree I’ve seen was nearly fifty meters, also planted in the soil. The fruits it produced were shaped like babies, have enriching effects, making it the best companion for the soil."

She softly acknowledged with an "Hmm": "Changtian, I always feel that acquiring the ginseng fruit tree branch went too smoothly."

"True. The thread had just broken off, and then suddenly the clouds cleared, resolved too smoothly, which instead feels eerie," he changed his tone, "Just ease your mind. No matter how many twists and turns are involved, once we leave Wutuo City, this matter is no longer our concern."

Upon learning that she planned to leave ahead of schedule, Qi San came to find her. In the last two days, he has been busy handling the internal affairs of the Qi Family, weeding out dissenters, having already sent three or four peers out of the family, and also chastised two of the senior uncles. It was not that he was hasty, but just that Ning Xiaoxian’s time here was too limited to wait for him to gain control of the Qi family’s power through more gentle means. Ning Xiaoxian gave him a bottle of Pei Yuan Pill, which he used to win people’s hearts.

Fatty Qi did not forget to visit twice a day to check on her, seemingly determined to align with the immortal. Ning Xiaoxian did not dislike this and even discussed business with him from time to time. In the eyes of mortals, immortals are esteemed and detached from worldly matters, unlike her approachable demeanor, so Fatty Qi respected her even more.

Qi Family mainly dealt in silk, with mulberry gardens on nearby mountains and a silk mill built at the foot of the mountains. But Ning Xiaoxian knew that this area was mostly plains with few forests, so the Qi Family must have spent quite an effort to secure those mountains. Sure enough, Fatty Qi lamented: "Immortal sees clearly, six mountain tops, the size of tea cups, cost my family two hundred thousand taels of silver. It took six years just to get back the initial investment. Oh, these mulberry gardens are far from home, inconvenient to access, and a significant portion of the harvest revenue goes to transport fees, the profit margins are thin!"

His sad expression made him look even more like a steamed bun over-pleated, causing Ning Xiaoxian to laugh out loud. Miluo, who was originally half-closing his eyes to sunbathe, turned around at the sound, just catching a glimpse of her with her teeth biting her lower lip, eyes sparkling, stunningly beautiful, making his heart skip a beat.

Ning Xiaoxian’s eyes flickered and she said, "I do have a method that could reduce your costs and increase your profits," but then she stopped talking.

Fatty Qi was momentarily stunned, then overjoyed. He looked eagerly at the immortal a few times, then suddenly, inspired, knelt on the ground: "If guided by the Immortal, my Qi family is willing to serve Ning Immortal loyally."
