Chapter 86 - Immortal Fate Of Longevity: Starting From Taking Care of Fellow Daoist Wife

Chapter 86: Unexpected Encounter with Tai Xi Naturally, Xia Changge's thought was to have a pair for every species and bring them back for breeding. But he felt that things weren't that simple. With the current strength of his family, it would be a burden to raise too many. "Fairy, aren't you afraid of outsiders stealing your techniques when you sell these young beasts so casually?" Xia Changge thought for a moment and asked in a low voice about some business-related questions. Liu Nianwei explained, "Naturally, we're not afraid. To ensure this, special means must be taken, such as enslaving and recognizing the young beasts as masters. This is the key. And many families and sects keep these kind of demonic beasts, so they're not that rare." Xia Changge understood the general idea. After thinking it over, he boldly chose one species for now. As for breeding, he would consider it another time. He needed to go back and study these little beasts first. Liu Nianwei also thoughtfully prepared two beast-rearing manuals for Xia Changge. Xia Changge was genuinely amazed. Were all the people in Biquan Pavilion this good? Maybe it really was a good thing to arrange for his daughter to come here. Liu Nianwei also temporarily helped Xia Changge take care of five little beasts. Because Xia Changge wouldn't leave Biquan Pavilion for the time being, it would be best to arrange for them to be taken care of when he left. "Thank you, Nianwei. I don't have anything else to do, so you can go about your own business!" After a series of events, Xia Changge felt that he had gained a lot. He expressed his gratitude to Liu Nianwei. This Jiang Rouyi's disciple was really obedient, making people like her a lot. He felt a little embarrassed about her enthusiasm. However, in the cultivation world, having such a good personality might not necessarily be a good thing. "It's okay, Uncle. I don't have anything to do right now either. Master instructed me to take care of you. Uncle, do you want to go down the mountain and take a look?" Liu Nianwei's service to Xia Changge couldn't be described as anything less than meticulous. In the end, Xia Changge chose to follow Liu Nianwei and visit the foot of the mountain. This place was definitely not like ordinary Huaying Town or Yun'an City where they could be mentioned in the same breath. There were too many high-level cultivators active here. Xia Changge's cultivation was at the eighth level of the Qi Refining realm, which would be considered top-notch in a city. But here...he was just an ordinary member. It was too prosperous. "In which shop can I upgrade the grade of my magical tools?" Since Xia Changge didn't have many spirit stones, he was just strolling around. After seeing a shop, Xia Changge finally asked Liu Nianwei about it. Because there was a shop that didn't sell magical tools, but...upgraded them. Because Xia Changge's cultivation had already improved, the set of lower-grade magical needles had become insufficient for him. However, Xia Changge was fond of magical needles and found it difficult to find a substitute for his skillful use of them. Could he see hope now? Liu Nianwei explained, "This is a shop opened by a senior refiner at the late Foundation Establishment stage. He has a strange temper and doesn't really refine magical tools. He only helps others upgrade their treasures. However, the prices are extremely high. Starting from one thousand spirit stones, you can upgrade a lower-grade treasure to a middle-grade one. And if you want to upgrade from a middle-grade to an upper-grade, it will cost even more spirit stones, probably around three thousand. There are very few who are willing to be that person." After this explanation, Xia Changge's speculation was confirmed. Xia Changge expressed that he was tempted to be that person. First, he would see if he could find a suitable substitute for the magical needles. If he couldn't find a needle-type magical tool, then he would consider shedding some blood and asking for help from that cultivator. Xia Changge continued to walk among the market when suddenly someone tapped him on the shoulder. "Ah, it's you, Miss Tai Xi. What are you doing here?" Xia Changge didn't pay much attention to what was behind him, as Liu Nianwei was right behind him. At first, he thought it was Liu Nianwei tapping him on the shoulder, but he never expected it to be Tai Xi, whom he had met before! Tai Xi...she didn't die?! What a surprise! Tai Xi found Xia Changge's words a bit strange and asked in confusion, "I'm an inner disciple of Biquan Pavilion. Why can't I be here? But you, big brother, how did you end up here? And...you're even with this senior sister?" Xia Changge thought for a moment before finally speaking to Liu Nianwei, "Nianwei, I have something to discuss with this young lady." Understanding his intentions, Liu Nianwei moved aside. Xia Changge took Tai Xi aside and whispered, "Do you...do you know what has happened to the Tai family recently?" No wonder Tai Xi was still alive. Was it because she stayed in Biquan Pavilion? Since she was lucky enough to escape a calamity, Xia Changge didn't have the heart to uproot her completely. After all...it would be difficult for Tai Xi to know whether he was the one who killed her father and younger brother. Seeing Xia Changge's expression, Tai Xi immediately had a bad feeling and asked anxiously, "What happened?" Feeling a sense of sorrow, Xia Changge replied with a touch of pity, "The Tai family is finished. They were caught using demonic methods to refine pills with the organs of wandering cultivators and children with spiritual roots. The cultivators of the Tai family had already all been killed, leaving only mortals. Your father is already dead, and as for your mother...I'm not quite sure, but it doesn't look good. Miss Tai Xi, I suggest you change your name. For example, take your mother's surname in the future and sever all ties with the Tai family. Live well and don't go back." In this situation, Xia Changge's kind-heartedness couldn't be helped. If it were anyone else who encountered Tai Xi, they would have caught her and subjected her to severe punishment. After all, no one could be sure if the Tai family was hiding other treasures that hadn't been discovered yet. Hearing this news, Tai Xi felt her body tremble slightly, but she quickly calmed down. "Huh! I actually expected something like this to happen. Thank you, uncle, for telling me all this. You're a good person." Seeing Tai Xi's sincere expression of gratitude, Xia Changge felt moved. To others, he might really be a good person. But to Tai Xi, could Xia Changge be considered a good person? He had nothing to do except feeling regretful that she, like this, was on the verge of ruin. Xia Changge could only offer his sympathy, "I don't want a girl like you to meet such a tragic end. Be careful in the future. I have something to attend to, so I'll leave first." After a brief conversation, Xia Changge casually made up a reason to separate from Tai Xi. He bid farewell to Tai Xi and went to find Liu Nianwei. After encountering Tai Xi, Xia Changge no longer had the desire to wander around. He told Liu Nianwei that he had seen enough and asked her to go about her own business. Xia Changge sincerely thanked Liu Nianwei. (End of this chapter)
