Chương 72: Chapter 110 : the Innate Realm

"Did the Purple Star Fruit spiritual seeds Steward chose last time survive?" Gongyang He asked curiously after seeing him buy so many more spiritual seeds. Jiang wenfeng smiled and said, "Not a single one survived. But my father said he seemed to have figured out some tricks, so this time, he plans to buy some more and try again."

"The old man is guarding his grandson and has nothing to do in his free time. It is rare for him to have a hobby, so let him fiddle with it." Hearing this, Gongyang He did not think too much about it. He smiled and collected the money, then registered the number of spiritual seeds.

"There are no major matters in the pavilion. I will go back for a while first." Taking the spiritual seeds, while it was still early, Jiang wenfeng directly returned to Blackwater Pond. Just as he stepped into the courtyard, he heard a slightly aged laugh coming from the side room. This laugh felt somewhat familiar to him, but for a moment, he could not remember who it was. Carrying the cloth bag of spiritual seeds to the entrance of the side room, Jiang wenfeng pushed open the door.

With one glance, he saw that sitting opposite his father, Jiang Huanyu, was an old man with white hair and beard.

"Senior!?" Jiang wenfeng looked at that person in surprise. It was Xu Xiu, who had disappeared for many years! Back then, Xu Xiu had known that there was no hope for his own breakthrough and had left the Five Elements Breathing Method to him, placing hope in him that he could make a breakthrough in the Five Elements Breathing Method and repay him in the future. Now, in the blink of an eye, seven years had already passed.

When Jiang wenfeng had just become the steward of the Ascension Pavilion, his father had even instructed him to pay more attention to Xu Xiu's whereabouts. Unexpectedly, today, the other party had taken the initiative to come to their door.

"Little fellow, it has been a long time." Xu Xiu stood up, sized up Jiang wenfeng, and said, "I still remember that when I first saw you back then, you were still a half-grown child. Now you have already grown into an adult."

"I heard from Little Brother Jiang that you have also become a father?" Jiang wenfeng placed the cloth bag of spiritual seeds to the side, smiled, and nodded.

"Senior, where have you been all these years?" Xu Xiu sat back down and sighed slightly.

"This old man is alone in the world, so naturally, I Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there. wandered everywhere, searching for opportunities."

"These years, I went to many places but gained nothing." Hearing this, Jiang wenfeng secretly sensed the aura on Xu Xiu's body. He could vaguely detect that Xu Xiu was indeed much stronger than himself, but far inferior to Pei Yuwan, let alone Li Heshan. He estimated that Xu Xiu's strength was probably around the sixth to seventh layer of Qi Refining.

"This junior is dull and has failed Senior's expectations. To this day, I have only just entered the Innate Realm."

"I do not even know how long it will take to reach Senior's height, let alone surpass Senior." Jiang wenfeng cupped his hands in shame. Up to now, Xu Xiu had shown kindness to them. Being unable to help him truly made Jiang wenfeng feel somewhat ashamed.

"It is no longer important…" Xu Xiu looked at him with a smile and said, "This old man has foolishly lived for one hundred and fifty years. Now, I feel that I do not have much time left, and I no longer have the heart to contend."

"This time, I returned here originally intending to build a hut and live in seclusion, ending the remainder of my life. I did not expect that you people would have built a residence here and moved over." Hearing this, Jiang wenfeng looked at Jiang Huanyu. Seeing that he had no particular expression, he smiled and said, "Since Senior has such an intention, and considering the great kindness you showed this junior back then, this junior will later find someone to choose a good place and build you a courtyard.

How about it?" After exchanging some polite words, Xu Xiu ultimately agreed.

"Since that is the case, this old man will go take a look now and find a place I like."

"Little Brother Jiang, I have disturbed you." He stood up and cupped his hands toward the two of them. The two saw him to the courtyard gate and invited him to come over for dinner that evening. After he walked far away, Jiang wenfeng slowly put away the smile on his face and looked at Jiang Huanyu.

"Father, Senior Xu returning at this time…" Jiang Huanyu stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Let's observe the changes quietly."

"If we truly are overthinking things, then having him live at Blackwater Pond will not necessarily be a bad thing."

"At the very least, his strength is much greater than yours and mine." Jiang wenfeng nodded and looked toward the setting sun in the distance.
