Chapter 84

Chapter 84: Jiang Rouyi, Golden Core Realm On Xia Yijiao's birthday, Xia Changge went to wake her up early in the morning. Perhaps it was because of her own personality... Um, Xia Yijiao went along with her own personality! It doesn't matter! Maybe it was because she had been influenced by Xia Changge for so long, but Xia Yijiao had also become lazy and even needed the maidservant's help to dress. This time, Xia Changge urged her to dress herself so as not to embarrass herself when they arrived at the sect. "My daughter, if you were born into the royal family or a family of cultivators, you would definitely be the most celestial fairy in the world." Xia Changge tidied her hair for her and couldn't help but sigh. Xia Yijiao also seemed proud and thought that what her father said was right. But she didn't act arrogant because of it. Instead, she said seriously, "I...I think the way things are now is already great." After she was ready, Xia Changge took out the jade bangle he had found before. After much consideration, Xia Changge decided to give this spiritual tool to his daughter for self-defense. Although if Xia Yijiao were to join a sect of higher-ranking cultivators, she would probably be given a better spiritual tool. But that would ultimately be given by someone else. As a father, he had to show his own sincerity. Moreover, it was Xia Yijiao's birthday today. Consider it a birthday gift. "This is the best gift I can give you. In the future, if you go to the sect, don't act naughty like you do at home... always remember the lessons I taught you." After putting the jade bangle on Xia Yijiao, Xia Changge's tone was complicated, carrying a sense of admonishment and education. "Dad, why don't you keep it for yourself?" Xia Yijiao no longer had her mischievous nature, seemingly becoming obedient. "This is your birthday gift. What should I keep for myself?" Xia Changge quickly put on a smile, then took out a carefully prepared storage bag. "There are only a thousand spirit stones inside. I can only prepare this much for you. Use it sparingly when you are in the sect, and... I will send you more when I earn money in the future." Xiao Yun had already returned to the Xiao family, which meant that the mid-Golden Core Elder from the Biyun Pavilion she went to visit should have also arrived. So Xia Changge had to give these things at this time. He didn't continue with any unnecessary and sad words because, theoretically, today was supposed to be a joyous day. It was only in the evening that Xia Changge took Xia Yijiao to the Xiao family. Sure enough, there was a graceful female cultivator at the Xiao family, eclipsing even Xiao Yun, the host. "What a charming young girl. Yun, you really have put in a lot of effort." Looking at Xia Yijiao, this female cultivator seemed very happy. Xiao Yun responded with a smile. "Are you willing to be my disciple?" Jiang Rouyi, the female cultivator in the Golden Core Realm, asked Xia Yijiao expectantly. After receiving encouragement from her father's eyes, Xia Yijiao nodded gently. Naturally, Jiang Rouyi immediately pulled her into her arms. Taking a disciple in this place was not such a simple matter. Especially when it involved passing on true teachings and becoming a direct disciple. The relationship had already become so close that it could be described as that of a father and daughter. After all, it was a lifelong bond. "What do you want?" When facing Xia Changge, Jiang Rouyi didn't have the same smile as when facing Xia Yijiao. She seemed rather cold. "I heard that there is a Rotating Wooden Gourd in the Biyun Pavilion that can help ordinary people gain spiritual roots. Can I...can I beg the Fairy to give me two of these spiritual treasures?" Xia Changge felt a bit embarrassed. But there was no way. With Xia Changge's current strength, it would be difficult to obtain such things without waiting for several decades. And waiting for several decades before allowing his sister-in-law and Lin Meishan to start cultivating seemed a bit late. Xia Changge could make them immortal, but he couldn't make them immortal and forever young. "Two Rotating Wooden Gourds?" After hearing Xia Changge's request, Jiang Rouyi furrowed her eyebrows. It took her a while to answer, "I can, but after that, I want you to sever the relationship between you and Yijiao." This request was definitely overbearing, catching Xiao Yun off guard. But because of the current disparity in strength, even if there was a slight sisterly bond between them in the past, Xiao Yun couldn't say much. She couldn't help Xia Changge. Xia Changge had expected this from Jiang Rouyi. "Rotating Wooden Gourds are produced once every fifty-four years. The last time it was produced was fifty-four years ago, and the next time will be forty-five years later. You want it now, so I can only inquire with my acquaintances to see if any of them still have any left. It will take a lot of time and effort." Seeing the change in his newly acquired disciple's face, Jiang Rouyi quickly explained. After all, this girl was much better than her in all aspects. She not only inherited all her skills, but she was also naturally outstanding, as expected from someone who entered the sect at the age of fourteen. She had great potential. She needed to stabilize her at this time. "I can only try my best and see if I can get them. Do you have any other requests?" Xia Changge felt a little embarrassed. But there was no choice. At Xia Changge's current level, he didn't have much weight in his words. He had to rely on Jiang Rouyi, this big shot at the Golden Core Realm. Jiang Rouyi also felt a bit hesitant. Her identity was noble, and there were countless suitors pursuing her. Today, she had to ride on a crane with a cultivator who was fifty years old and only at the eighth level of Qi refinement? But for the sake of this excellent disciple she had finally received, Jiang Rouyi could only reluctantly nod her head. Her Azure Swan could carry three people, so there was no problem.
