Chapter 2 — Stealing Purple Qi to Exchange Peach Blossoms

I dug up that plant and brought it back. As soon as Master saw it, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Foolish disciple, this is a hundred-year Blood Condensation Grass! One plant can be sold for fifty taels of silver!"

I was stunned and surprised. The next day, we went to the river to wash clothes. Tham Thanh Chau followed again, leisurely strolling along the riverbank. He picked up a black stone and gave it to me.

“This stone seems a bit unusual.”

I brought it back for my master to see. The master looked at the stone under the light for a long time, so excited that his beard trembled.

"This is a primeval jade stone! There is definitely top-grade jade inside!"

I turned to look at Tham Thanh Chau. He is like a walking treasure. That night, I quietly discussed with my master.

“Master, he is so powerful, is he from the Taoist sect?”

The teacher pondered for a moment.

"Very likely. Therefore, after his injuries heal, we must immediately let him leave."

I'm a bit reluctant.

"He's gone, what happens to my luck?"

"You've absorbed almost enough. The tribulation at the age of eighteen seems like you can overcome it."

Master patted my head.

"As a human being, we cannot be too greedy. This type of person, mortals like us, cannot be provoked."

I understand. The goal of our two disciples is just to survive, then make some more money. Thanks to Condensing Blood Grass, Tham Thanh Chau's injuries recovered very quickly. The day of separation is near. I started following my master's script, looking a little sad. When eating, I would look at him dumbfounded. While washing clothes, I will continuously sigh. Tham Thanh Chau saw it all. He wanted to speak many times but stopped. Finally, on the day his injury completely recovered, he took the initiative to speak.

“Miss A Nguyet, I have to go.”

The bowl in my hand fell to the ground with a "bang" sound. Tears immediately welled up.

“Master Shen... do you have to go?”

The master walked over with his cane and sighed softly.

“There is no party in the world that doesn't end.”

Tham Thanh Chau looked at me with complicated eyes.

"I have important things to do, I can't stay long."

My tears fell more intensely.

“But…”

He interrupted me.

“We are not from the same world.”

3 Tham Thanh Chau is about to leave. I cried until I cried until my heart was broken into pieces.

"Master Shen, don't go, is that okay?"

I grabbed his sleeve, in an extremely humble manner.

"I... I appreciate you."

Thham Thanh Chau's body immediately stiffened. He looked at me, there was tension in his eyes, some unwillingness, in the end it all turned into a look of determination.

"I am a cultivator, I must cut off love completely. She is just a mortal woman, we were destined for different paths."

He removed my hand.

“Forget me.”

The master standing next to him was so "angry" that his whole body was shaking. The person raised his stick, intending to hit Tham Thanh Chau.

"You ungrateful thing! My niece saved your life, so you repay her like that?"

I quickly rushed forward to stop the master.

“Grandfather, leave!”

I cried and screamed.

“Don't make things difficult for him, it's all of your own free will!”

We performed this play until it was earth-shattering. An emotional look flashed across Tham Thanh Chau's face, but it was quickly replaced by determination. He took one out from his chest piece of jade, put it in my hand. The jade pendant is gentle and gentle. When you look at it, you know it is not an ordinary thing.

"Please keep this. Consider me... repaying you for saving your life."

After speaking, he turned around and left without looking back. His figure quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests. I looked in the direction he left, the crying gradually stopped. Master also put down his stick. The two disciples looked at each other. I immediately wiped away my tears and stopped next to my master.

“Master, how did you see my performance?”

The teacher nodded with satisfaction.

“Not bad, very talented.”

The person lowered his voice again.

"In this day and age, idiots who bring their own top quality elixir and even take the initiative to bring their luck to the door are really hard to find. A little performance is enough."

I strongly agree. The two disciples joined forces to see this "benefactor" leave. I opened my hand and gave the jade pendant to the master.

“Master, please look at this.”

The master received the jade pendant and took in a cold breath just looking at it.

"Excellent grade jade! Inside also contains extremely pure spiritual energy!"

He looked at me, his eyes shining.

“Disciple, we have made a fortune!”

I asked excitedly:

“How much money can be exchanged?”

“Money?”

The master laughed contemptuously.

“Using this to exchange money is too vulgar.”

He kept the jade pendant in his chest.

“This can be exchanged for the next half of our lives.”

The next day, my master led me down the mountain. He went around countless small alleys, taking me into an underground black market. Master used that jade pendant to exchange for a treasure chest. Inside were several tattered Taoist secret books, a land deed and some scraps of gold and silver. On the land deed, three words "Thanh Phong Quan" were written. I asked the master:

“Where is Thanh Phong restaurant?”

Master laughed.

“From today, that place is our home.”
