Chapter Family Mission Arc . 5 : isn't that just a low grade spirit grass ??
[ Dao Soul Plane ]
December 3 / 603 , Hawk Empire , Motherland City
It has been 2 days since Xiao Sheng has bought battle slaves for himself. He used his family resources on Wong Xue in sword cultivation , Han Tian Yuan in soul cultivation while Tan Bo Zhao in body cultivation. They all trained in different cultivation arts . Normally only after achieving Early Stage Body Practitioner Stage could a person cultivate in Soul system but for Soul King , they can skip that and directly cultivate soul. But even Xiao Sheng didn't expect for Han Tian Yuan to breakthrough in Early Stage Soul Awakening Stage within 12 hours !! Even a freaking prodigy would needs at least 24 hours to achieve this feasts since its about awakening your soul .
Soul Awakening Stage practitioners could use their soul power to attack other people's soul and harm then indirectly.
But since he has King Grade Bloodline , he could go against Peak Grade Soul Awakening cultivators and even if its Body Refining Stage cultivator , if their soul cultivation or power were to be weak , Han Tian Yuan can easily kill them through soul attacks.
While within 2 days , Wong Xue was so talented that she manage to achieve Quasi-Master level in a Sword Art called [ Sword Dance Basic Sword Moves ] . Even if this art was basic it was no less than Rank 1 Peak Grade Sword Skill . She was a true prodigy for Sword Arts.
As for Tan Bo Zhao , His cultivation jumped from Early Stage Body Tempering Stage to Mid Stage within 2 days . He was really from [ Wrathful Barbarian Bull Tribe ]. Even if he doesn't have King Grade Bloodline , not even King Grade Bloodline in Body Cultivation system could easily defeat him !!
It was getting colder and colder in each passing days since winter was on the door knocking. [ Motherland City ] was neighbourhood city next to [ Green King City ] and 2 step away from Xiao Family residence.
Today Xiao Sheng has come in this city in search for someone that he hasn't met for 6 months. His name was Honglong Yang Dan. He is a Treasure Hunter or more like Gravedigger. His whole family is filled with
Professional Gravedigger and even have some connections with Godly Gravedigger !!
But if you think he came here to ask him to dig someone's grave for him than it's totally wrong and mistaken because he is here to take something from him. Honglong Yang Dan , he has borrowed something from him 6 month ago in return for something else but this fucking Gravedigger hasn't even sent a letter yet . So today he heard there is gonna open the biggest trading market festival where countless merchants would gather to sell and customers to buy , so of course Honglong wouldn't miss a chance like this where he could sell his ro…pui !! I mean earned treasures.
" young master Xiao , may I know why are we here ? There is only a festival of merchants held here so …i was wondering what may be the reason for us to come here ?" Wong Xue , holding dual swords on her left waist asked. She was wearing long green dress and lily flower hanging on her hairs that was tied in bun shape . Her innocent aura and beautiful looks gave her charm of enchantress although it wasn't in same level as true enchantress.
Xiao Sheng was holding Han Tian Yuan's little hand while the latter did the same as they walked together , Xiao Sheng looked around as if he was searching for someone. He replied with a smile " I am looking for my old friend " Wong Xue didn't asked him who his old friend was neither did she asked anything else .
****
On somewhere in the festival held for merchants , there was a street stall. The street stall had a mat and some items kept around while a young man in his mid 14 , handsome and quit dashing too . Short black hair and plain clothes , he was the person that Xiao Sheng was searching for .
On the sales were some medicine herbs , weapons and even some cultivation methods. Honglong Yang Dan was shouting " come on come on , don't miss the chance, don't miss the chance. Once in a lifetime chance will be missed if you missed things that I am selling. Be it Spiritual Herb or Spiritual Weapons , I have the thing you need , low cost yet powerful and effective treasures for you with better quality " he was advertising for his own store. But fate betrayed him , just as he was advertising for himself , Xiao Sheng happen to see him but didn't act against him . He waited for a while.
When Honglong Yang Dan was drying his throat by shouting out , his first customer walked in . A youngster in his 20 , wearing a very luxurious clothes like those noblesons in empire , he had 2 guards equipped in armours came to him as a customer .
" welcome , welcome, young master , I see that you want to buy some merchandise from my small and insignificant stall . Even though my stall is insignificant I can guarantee you that I have best of best for my customers " Honglong quickly greeted the young man and began to show his merchandise.
The young man name was Xi Cao , a Low Grade Noble or more like Baron and so . He was just an early 20 yet was already an Early Stage Body Tempering Stage cultivator !!

He looked at the mechanise and saw many things but a something cause his attention. A long green grass that had dragon's head like red flower bloom , like a dragon scale , there were tiny green scales around the red flower.
Noticing his gaze on the plant , Honglong quickly said " young master has a good eyes for selecting treasures. This plant is called red flower dragon plant , it is called red flower dragon plant because of it's special trait. Red petal flower in shape of dragon's head with green dragon like scales coating it , this plant is a Rank 4 Spiritual plant , verse in body refining. If you bath in this Spiritual Plant , you can have chance of advancement in Body Refining Stage very easily while Body Practitioner Stage cultivators would need little more effort . If young master wants it than only 4000 Low Grade Spiritual Stones "
Xi Cao looked at the plant ,he has never seen such a plant before so he didn't knew anything about it but learning about the plant from Honglong , he thought of buying " okay ,I shall but this magical plant than . "
" good , good , young master can be sure you will get better result than you have expected . Haha… fortune shall come to you " Honglong was ready sell the Spiritual Plant but just as he was about to sell something happened.
A small kid in his 6 , came walking at his stall. This kid was wearing very clean and costly clothes ,one look and anyone would know he was from great powerhouse. The kid was non other than our little Han Tian Yuan. He looked at Xi Cao and Honglong , he with his innocent face and looks asked Xi Cao " big brother , why are you buying this plant ?"
Xi Cao looked at Little Han and replied with a smile " cause this thing can help me that's why little brother " Han Tian Yuan blinked his eyes and asked " but why do you need to buy this plant ? "
This time Honglong replied " cause it's very rare to find a Rank 6 Spiritual Plant in Mid Grade Empire that's why little brother " Xi Cao nodded .
" Ah !!" Han Tian Yuan looked at Honglong and said " but isn't that just a Low Grade Spiritual grass ? Why should big brother buy from you ? It can be found anywhere in Spiritual forests "
"….." Honglong and Xi Cao looked at little Han and smiled wryly and wanted to correct him but just at that moment something happened.
Two people in the middle of crowds watched them and began gossiping with each others.
One a muscular man still in his youth while another was an extremely cute and beautiful girl .
The man was obviously our friend Tan Bo Zhao while the beauty was our cute Wong Xue .
Tan said as if he was whispering to Wong Xue , obviously he said his every single words loud enough for Honglong and Xi Cao to hear " hey , hey , isn't that young master Xi ? I heard that he is very talented in cultivation ? Can it be he is buying some merchandise from that small stall ?"
Suddenly young master Xi's interest was attracted by their conversation so do Honglong.
Wong Xue acted as if she was whispering in Tan Bo Zhao's ear while she clearly said in loud voice with her incomplete Body Cultivation , going as far as to even enhance her voice to make it loud , afraid that those 2 wouldn't manage to hear her clearly !!
" oh !! So that is the genius from Xi Family. I heard that he is quite a talent , only 20 yet already an Early Stage Body Tempering Stage cultivator !! Ah !! He is such a handsome man . But what is he buying ?"
Tan Bo Zhao pretend to look at the object that was on young master Xi's hand and said " isn't that Low Stage Spiritual grass ? Is he lacking in such an insignificant resources nowadays ? What a pitiful young master "
"Yeah !! Such a pitiful young master. If he had asked me than I would have given him bunch of Spiritual grasses without any cost instead of giving my cow back at home. So pitiful " Tan Bo Zhao and Wong Xue watched Xi Cao with pity and sympathy before sighing and shaking their heads while turning to look at him time to time with a light sigh .
Xi Cao felt like he has just been looked down on by mortals . His heart suddenly felt like crying tears of bloods. Not even another cultivator families have looked at him with Pity and felt sympathy but today because of this scammer , he has been looked with gaze of pity and sympathy by a mere mortal !!
Intolerable !!
While Honglong was cursing them and their 18 generations.
What ? Is your eyes covered by dust ?
How can you even say that my Red Flower Dragon Plant is a Spiritual Grass ?
Clean your eyes before saying anything .
Feeling the rage of Xi Cao , Honglong forced a smile on his face and said " young master , don't listen to those uneducated fools that doesn't know what head and tail is ?
Xi Cao also felt like he shouldn't listen to words of those uneducated fools. But just as they were about to trade money and merchandise with each others , they could hear something from their back.
Tan Bo Zhao pretended as if he has suddenly remembered something " shit !! I nearly forgot why I was here " suddenly both Honglong and Xi Cao stopped and turned to look at him.
Wong Xue acted surprise before asking " what happened ? What did you forgot ?" Tan Bo Zhao sighed and said " nation level scholar exam is coming near and I need to do well this time , last time , I did not do well so I wasn't able to join a high post in government. I only ranked sixth last year so this time I shall aim for first "
Puhh !!
What did that bastard bragged just now ?
Nation level scholarship ?
Didn't do good and only ranked sixth !!
This bastard is good at bragging.
Xi Cao looked at Honglong and his gaze was asking him " didn't you say they were uneducated fools ? Nowadays is even a nation level scholars consider as uneducated ?"
Feeling embarrassed , Honglong smiled wryly. He tried to hide his embarrassment while cursing at those 2 once again.
Did I killed your whole family so that's why you two are insulting me ?
Why are you 2 disturbing my business ?
Why are you bragging about your achievements in front of my stall ?
I am just a tiny graverobber that earns money for living through robbing other people's grave so please spare me .
Xi Cao felt like he was being cheated by this fraud so he left but before leaving.
He looked at Honglong for a long time before..
Pui !!
He spited and walked away feeling disgust toward Honglong for trying to cheat his money.
Watching him leave away , Honglong felt like he has lost a huge customers.
"Hais , my poor heart can't take it , this insult. " he was feeling great depression . But suddenly , he said "next time I shall use soundproof formation around my stall so no one can disturb me from trading my merchandise " he forgot the insult that he received just now like it never had happened.
His skin was just too thick.
