Chapter 77: Half a Low grade Spirit Stone?
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
After entering the Luo Family Ancestral Land in Qingshi Town,
Tang Jian and Tang Rong didn’t immediately encounter Luo Ping, who was the overt head of the Luo Family.
Instead, they first met Luo Ping’s son, Luo Chuan,
and the little maid following behind Luo Chuan, Liu Qingqing.
But fortunately, they had only had that brief encounter and didn’t have much interaction.
“Dad, what were you just looking at?”
“Nothing, nothing at all…”
“Nothing at all?” Tang Rong, who had a little braid tied at the back of his head, gave his father Tang Jian an exasperated look and said in a low voice, “I saw that thieving gleam in your eyes just now, no point in trying to quibble…”
“What? What thieving gleam in my eyes?”
Tang Jian started to sound a little annoyed as he explained, “I just felt that the little maid behind that young man was a bit unusual.”
“Was that little maid pretty?”
Tang Jian nodded subconsciously, but he quickly shook his head, “You kid, don’t just butt in like that!”
“Let me tell you, that little maid following behind the young man is definitely no ordinary person.”
“I smelled a special scent on her…”
“A special scent???” Upon hearing this, Tang Rong couldn’t help but lower his head in thought.
Although, most of the time his old dad wasn’t reliable.
But when his old dad did become reliable,
He actually was quite dependable.
At least, his dad had managed to keep him, such a small child, alive in this chaotic world to this day.
This itself was proof of his old dad’s capabilities.
…
Under the guidance of the Luo Family servants,
soon, Tang Jian and Tang Rong met the person in control of the Luo Family.
The current Luo Family Patriarch, Luo Ping.
It was unclear what method Tang Jian had used,
but after chatting with Luo Ping for some time,
Luo Ping then silently led the two men toward the courtyard where his family’s ancestor resided.
Before entering Patriarch Changfeng’s courtyard,
Tang Jian involuntarily stopped his advances.
He squinted his eyes slightly and looked towards the courtyard in front of him that radiated waves of ancient charm.
Within his narrowed eyes, there flickered bursts of light incessantly.
“This is the courtyard where the Ancestor of the Luo Family resides.”
“Brother Tang, didn’t you say you had an important matter to discuss with our ancestor?” Luo Ping, seeing Tang Jian suddenly stop in his tracks, couldn’t help but smile as he reminded him.
“Right, right.”
After coming back to his senses, Tang Jian laughed and hurried towards the courtyard.
…
In the courtyard where Luo Changfeng resided,
most of the time, only Luo Changfeng would be alone.
However, this time seemed to be different.
Luo Qingshan, known as the fastest progressing in cultivation among the Luo Family’s younger generation, was quietly standing beside the Stone Pavilion in the courtyard,
as if he was casually chatting with Luo Changfeng.
“This young man…”
Upon seeing Luo Qingshan in front of him, Tang Jian couldn’t help but stop dead in his tracks.
His pupils suddenly contracted at that moment.
This Luo Family is truly not ordinary.
Before coming to the Luo Family, Tang Jian thought he had already overestimated the Luo Family of Qingshi Town enough.
But unexpectedly…
The true situation of the Luo Family still somewhat exceeded his expectations.
“Patriarch Changfeng, this man is named Tang Jian,”
“He says he has an important matter to discuss with you.”
After bringing Tang Jian beside Luo Changfeng, Luo Ping slightly bowed his head and said respectfully in a low voice.
“Tang Jian?”
Luo Changfeng heard these words and raised his head to glance at Tang Jian, who appeared somewhat disheveled, yet was emanating an extraordinary aura.
After a moment of silence, he whispered, “What brings you to seek me?”
Upon hearing this, Tang Jian bent slightly forward.
Lowering his head as much as he could, he said in a very respectful tone to Luo Changfeng, “I have a treasure to offer, seeking in exchange the safety of both myself and my son in Qingshi Town.”
Having said that, Tang Jian then took out from his chest a half piece of transparent stone that looked as if it had been gnawed on by a dog.
This half piece of transparent stone was somewhat unusual.
No sooner had it been taken out than it began to faintly shimmer with a lustrous light.
The air also seemed to gradually fill with a moist and heartwarming fragrance.
“Could this thing…perhaps be a Spirit Stone?”
Seeing the half piece of transparent stone in Tang Jian’s hand,
Luo Changfeng’s eyes couldn’t help but narrow slightly.
The thought suddenly occurred to him.
“My lord, this object is called a Spirit Stone, and its grade is low-grade,”
“This item is generally owned by Immortals.”
“Mortal men in possession of it can extend their lifespan, or calm and focus the mind, facilitating the progression of their cultivation.”
Tang Jian, seeing a trace of confusion and incomprehension in the eyes of people around him,
Took the opportunity to explain.
“A Spirit Stone?” Luo Ping heard this, and then he whispered an explanation to Luo Changfeng, “Patriarch Changfeng, I have also heard of the name of the Spirit Stone, and its effects are indeed as Tang Jian has said.”
“Patriarch Changfeng, if this is indeed a Spirit Stone,”
“Then the effects related by this man should all be true.”
Outside the courtyard, Luo Chuan, after hearing what Tang Jian had said, also couldn’t help but silently walk into the courtyard.
After Luo Changfeng listened to everyone’s words,
He silently nodded in agreement.
“If this is truly a Spirit Stone, it’s not too much trouble for my Luo Family to ensure your safety and that of your family in Tang Family’s territory of Qingshi Town for a lifetime…”
As Luo Changfeng spoke, he reached out with his withered right hand,
Took the half-eaten-looking low-grade Spirit Stone that Tang Jian held in his hands, and toyed with it slightly.
“If there is nothing else, you may all withdraw,”
Luo Changfeng said in a low voice.
“Yes, Patriarch Changfeng.”
Luo Ping bowed slightly and then led Tang Jian out of the courtyard.
Luo Qingshan and Luo Chuan, however,
Did not leave with Luo Ping but silently stood beside Luo Changfeng.
“This half a low-grade Spirit Stone that looks as if a dog gnawed it is somewhat interesting…”
After toying with it for a while longer, Luo Changfeng casually placed the half piece of Spirit Stone on the stone table.
The effects of the Spirit Stone were indeed as Tang Jian had described.
If kept on one’s person over a long period, it certainly could extend one’s life, calm the mind, and even hasten the pace of one’s cultivation progress.
However, that being said,
Its effectiveness was so weak that it was almost negligible.
Of course, this was only the case for Luo Changfeng.
If this Spirit Stone were indeed given to an ordinary person to carry with them all the time…
Extending their lifespan by three to five years would not be a problem.
“Do you want this thing?”
Luo Changfeng pointed to the half piece of gnawed-looking transparent Spirit Stone on the stone table and asked Luo Chuan in a quiet voice.
“This half piece of Spirit Stone is of little use to me.”
“It would probably be better for third brother than for me…”
Luo Chuan looked over at Luo Qingshan, who was standing beside him, whose frame had grown increasingly robust,
And whose aura was becoming ever more fearsome and inscrutable.
Luo Chuan smiled faintly and whispered.
“In that case, let’s give this half piece of low-grade Spirit Stone to Qingshan!”
“Carrying it with him can at least slightly soothe and focus his mind.”
“Though the effect is somewhat weak…”
As Luo Changfeng spoke, he passed the half piece of low-grade Spirit Stone from the stone table to Luo Qingshan who was at his side.
