Chapter 97 - Immortal Fate Of Longevity: Starting From Taking Care of Fellow Daoist Wife

Chapter 97: No Enemies in the Face of Interests "Why are you looking for my mother and the others?" Regarding the affairs of the Ren family, it was enough to just discuss them. There was no need for too much consultation. Xiao Xuan quickly started asking Xia Changge about his purpose for coming here. Xia Changge took out a bottle of Qi Gathering Pill and handed it to Xiao Xuan, explaining, "Our Xia family is now able to refine Qi Gathering Pills. Although we can only produce about ten pills a day, it is still a breakthrough. I wanted to discuss it with the family head, but since she's not here, I'll wait until she returns." This sentence bewildered Xiao Xuan, as if she had been hit with something even more shocking than what happened to the Ren family. "You refined this?" Xiao Xuan was quite knowledgeable about the Xia family. Among them, An Ruoshui was just a worthless little girl. The only one capable of refining Qi Gathering Pills in the Xia family was Xia Changge. "Yes, but not by myself. It's the result of teamwork. The efficiency is not high, but this bottle is for you, Xuan'er." Xia Changge accepted it with a smile, not taking all the credit for himself. "You're really amazing. I didn't expect you to come up with such a trick!" Xiao Xuan was not polite and accepted the bottle of pill. Her admiration for Xia Changge deepened even further. After leaving the Xiao family, Xia Changge didn't go straight back home. Instead, he went to the nearby water area. He wanted to see the situation there. There must be a water area near Huaying Immortal Town, although it might not be a large river. After all, how could they develop spiritual fields without a water source? Each mu of a spiritual field had extremely high requirements for water. Xia Changge currently had hundreds of ordinary mortal servants under his command. They were busy transforming the wasteland into arable land. As for increasing fertility and other related work, Xia Changge would send someone later. These servants were hired by Xia Changge, so he needed to ensure their safety. He arrived at a slightly deeper spot near the water area. Sitting by the river, Xia Changge used his divine sense to investigate the situation below. "Oh!" There were other fish below, but their numbers were already quite scarce. The most terrifying ones were those three green roa fishes, each over a foot long. At this moment, they were already on the verge of transformation. Xia Changge couldn't believe such a situation happened on his territory. This place was already quite far from the Ren family's territory. "Die!" He took out a mysterious needle and locked onto their position. Three needles for three lives. In the next moment, a few strands of blood appeared on the clear water surface. Xia Changge caught these three green roa fishes. He was considering how to solve this problem when developing the spiritual field in the future. Would he need several Foundation Building cultivators to supervise all the time? Xia Changge put the three green roa fishes into his storage bag, intending to feed them to his four young beasts when he returned. Before leaving, he informed Lin Meishan, who was busy on the farm nearby. "In the water area, it may not be safe in the next few months. Remind the servants to be careful, especially not to bathe." Xia Changge's expression was serious. At this time, the green roa fishes had not yet started transforming. But once they transformed, it would be like serving a meal to regular mortals who entered the water. Even if these green roa fishes didn't transform, ordinary mortals bathing there would most likely end up as chicken food. Lin Meishan didn't know what had happened exactly, but since Xia Changge said so, she naturally took it to heart. In the realm of cultivation, there was no such thing as species invasion. As long as a large number of Foundation Building cultivators worked together, they could eliminate any creatures in the water area that they didn't want to exist. But gathering so many Foundation Building cultivators wasn't an easy task. Xia Changge could only watch and strive to minimize casualties among his people. Let's see if the princess has any reaction to this! Returning to his residence, Xia Changge also reminded the students in his academy and the servants of the family to pay attention to water safety during this time. He simply explained that there might be demonic beasts in the water, without going into further details. Having dealt with some matters, Xia Changge went to the small breeding farm he had set up specifically to take a look at his other pets. These few young beasts, including the Azure Water Swan, were carnivorous animals. So Xia Changge fed them the three green roa fishes. "These green roa fishes are not without benefits for me. After they transform, they can serve as food for my pets and help them grow quickly, providing me transportation." After some feeding, Xia Changge realized the only benefit he could gain from them, reducing his consumption of spirit stones for buying demonic beast meat to feed his pets. After four idle days, Xiao Yun and Xiao Wan, the mother and daughter, returned. Knowing that Xia Changge could refine Qi Gathering Pills, it was natural for Xiao Wan to come and discuss this matter with him. "How's the dispute between the Yu and Ren families going?" Xia Changge asked Xiao Wan about the recent happenings. Xiao Wan looked puzzled. "In the end, the two families actually shook hands and made peace. Can you believe it?" Xia Changge was also surprised, but he had witnessed such things too many times, so he enlightened Xiao Wan instead. "With sufficient benefits, who would have enemies? It seems that the Yu family offered a satisfactory price to the Ren family. Did you not notice anything wrong when you went to watch?" Xiao Wan shook her head repeatedly. "At first, it was really tense. They even fought, but I don't know how they managed to reconcile later." Xia Changge whispered, "Is there no reaction from the princess?" If the Foundation Building cultivators under his control formed a team, he would more or less sense some danger. Xiao Wan shook her head, still confused. "I don't know. The princess's people were also here, but they didn't show much response." This made Xia Changge even more alert. He had a feeling that a storm was about to unleash. Regarding the matter with the green roa fishes, Xia Changge didn't say much to Xiao Wan. After all, talking about it now wouldn't change anything. And Xiao Wan was at the 9th layer of Qi Refining stage, so even if she went near the water, nothing would happen to her. Even if the sky were to collapse, there would be someone tall to support it. He was just a cultivator at the 8th layer of Qi Refining stage with only a few hundred acres of land under his control. Why bother with so much? Because there were no stalls in Yun'an Immortal City, after discussing with Xiao Wan, Xia Changge decided to sell the Qi Gathering Pills in Huaying Town. They would advertise extensively to attract cultivators from other places to come and buy. In the initial stage, they could sell at a lower price, 180 spirit stones for one bottle, which was equivalent to ten pills. Doing so might also liven up Huaying Town. In the following months, not only in Yun'an Immortal City but also in the nearby immortal cities, they were troubled by the invasion of these monsters that came from elsewhere. Thousands of fish demons appeared! This sudden increase in demonic beasts caught Xia Changge off guard. But upon closer thought, it was understandable. After all, besides cultivators, there was nothing else capable of balancing these creatures here. If wolves, tigers, and lions were allowed to freely devour people, it would be easy for them to become demons as well. Because of this, countless people perished in the mouths of these fish demons! Xia Changge originally thought that after such an incident, the various Foundation Building cultivator families and the princess would take action and work together to eliminate this calamity, bringing peace to Yun'an Immortal City. He had planned to make a big show of his abilities as well. However, the outcome left Xia Changge disappointed. These powerful figures chose silence. Were they planning to gain some benefits in this chaos? Xia Changge didn't care too much about this matter. At present, he needed to solve the problem of not being able to expand the spiritual field due to this incident. (The end of this chapter)
