Chapter 524: Past Life Extra Story Four_3
But Yingbao didn’t respond, climbing further and further until she was out of sight.
The others were stunned. Jiang Cheng tried to squeeze into the small hole too, but quickly got stuck.
With no other options, they grabbed his legs and hauled him out.
“What should we do?” The group looked at each other, clueless.
Jiang Sang took a seat on the ground, “Baobao wille out. I will wait here.”
Jiang Zhen, after pondering for a moment, said, “Let’s collect more of the glowstone sand in the cave. Take as much as you can. Once Yingbaoes back, we will return.”
“Okay!”
Meanwhile, Yingbao, with her small butt pedaling in the air, climbed for a long time before finally emerging from the hole.
Before her eyes was a sea of Spirit nts.
Xiaoshu, the small flying rat, flitted out first, and quickly flew back, grabbing onto Yingbao’s sleeve and tugging in one direction.<div>
Yingbao moved her short legs and ran down the slope, revealing a Spirit Treeden with fruit.
“Wow!” She looked up at the fruit on the tree, her mouth watering.
The spiritual light radiating from these fruits was gentle, and they looked delicious at first nce.
Xiaoshu flew to the top of the tree and began plucking the fruit, stuffing them into its own pouch. When the pouch was full, it tossed it to Yingbao.
Yingbao sat on the ground and ate one first, then held out both her hands to catch the falling fruits.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiaoshu grew tired and rested on a tree branch.
Yingbao nced around, took out a small shovel from her Divine Mansion, dug up the vibrant Spirit Grass and Spiritual Flowers nearby and stowed them into her Divine Mansion.
Soon, her spiritual power was depleted, and she started feeling tired, her eyes fighting to stay open.
“Xiaoshu, let’s go home.” Remembering her father was still in the cave, Yingbao called Xiaoshu to go back.
The little girl and her rat crawled back through the small hole.
When they finally crawled out, they saw a very anxious father.
Jiang Sang immediately hugged his daughter and gave her a firm pat on her bottom, “Don’t run off like that again!”
At this point, Yingbao couldn’t wait to show off her Spirit Fruits, and quickly fell asleep in her father’s arms.
When they saw Yingbao return, everyone sighed in relief, immediately shouldered their herb baskets, and journeyed back home.
For unknown reasons, their trip back was very smooth, without encountering a single poisonous insect.
A few dayster, they returned to the vige. The n Leader, wise and learned, was thrilled to see so many high-quality glowstone sands. He asked, “How did you manage to get so much glowstone sand?”
Blood-sucking Bats were fearsome creatures. A single bite could leave you handicapped if it didn’t kill you outright. It was miraculous that these ordinary medicine gatherers managed to get so much without the help of a Cultivator.
They then roughly exined the whole story.
“We owe a lot to Jiang Sang and his daughter. If not for Yingbao, we might have failed.” Jiang Zhen told the truth.<div>
The n Leader’s eyes sparkled, “So Yingbao has begun her spiritual journey?”
“Yes.” Jiang Zhen exined, “On the way back, we gave all the grade B Spiritual Medicines we collected to Yingbao to aid her in her cultivation.”
The n Leader stroked his beard and nodded, “You did the right thing. If our vige can indeed rear a child with spiritual roots, it would be a blessing for all.”
If Yingbao does grow up with spiritual roots, they can have someone set up an Array to protect their Jiang Vige from many dangers.<div>
The next day, Jiang Sang and a group of vigers took the glowstone sand to the county town to sell, and Yingbao followed to gain some real-life experience.
When theyid several baskets of Blood-sucking Bat glowstone sand in front of the Treasure Pavilion’s shopkeeper, his eyes nearly popped out.
“This much? Did you empty out a Blood-sucking Bat’s nest?” The shopkeeper grabbed a handful to inspect, then smelled. He asked Jiang n Leader, “Do you want to trade for gold or Spirit Stones?”
Jiang n Leader said, “Part of it for gold, part for Spirit Stones.”
“Alright.” The shopkeeper didn’t hesitate, and went to collect the gold and Spirit Stones.
When Jiang Sang received his share of the gold and Spirit Stones, he immediately asked the Treasure Pavilion’s shopkeeper to buy residency papers for his daughter and wife.
He got forty thousand gold coins as well as a hundred Spirit Stones, plenty enough to settle his wife and daughter in the county town.
However, one hundred Spirit Stones wouldn’t be enough to buy a house, but he could rent one for them. In time, when they made more money and Yingbao was older, they could send her to school.
When he got home, he told his parents, Jiang Lao and Jiang Liu, about securing the residency papers for his wife and daughter. Both of them agreed heartily, “You did the right thing. We suddenly have a lot of money, which draws attention. It’s better to get a ce for the children to settle in. I still have some. Take it and see if it’s enough to buy a house in the town.”
Jiang Sang shook his head, “The money you have is public funds, you better keep it. Once we earn some more, we will bring the nieces and nephews to town to settle.”
It was always dangerous outside, and every year there would be at least one Beast Tide. If they encountered one, survival was unlikely.
