Chapter 252 Jia Family Situation

After Jia Sheng left, Shi Chen looked at Jia Sheng's two followers and signaled them to introduce themselves.

The handsome cultivator, wearing a green inner lining and a flowered robe, saw the expression in his eyes and respectfully clasped his fists, saying, "I am Jia Xing, a casual cultivator who has completed his foundation. I am willing to serve the master."

Beside Jia Xing, a man in a gray-black robe with a rather naive face, heard his brother introduce himself and respectfully said, "My name is Jia Wang. He is my brother from the same father, and Brother Jia Sheng is our cousin. For serving the master, can I be rewarded with a Golden Yuan Pill?"

After listening to what they said, Shi Chen couldn't help but be stunned, thinking to himself: Jia Xing appears to be a smooth and smart person, and has his own little thoughts just like Jia Sheng.

And this Jia Wang seems to be a bit silly. Call him stupid. This is the clearest and most direct way to see the situation.

Shi Chen calmed himself down, looked at Jia Wang, and said slowly, "You are quite direct, but obtaining the Golden Yuan Pill is not so easy. If you two can contribute to the search for the Immortal Island and the Spiritual Mountain, there will naturally be a reward."

Jia Xing quickly tugged at Jia Wang's sleeve, signaling him not to say anything more.

Jia Wang scratched his head, smiled innocently and said, "Don't worry, Master. We will do our best."

Shi Chen nodded slightly and said, "In that case, what do you think about this matter of the Immortal Island and the Spiritual Mountain?"

Jia Xing thought for a moment and then said, "Master, in my opinion, since this fairy island and sacred mountain can appear as a mirage, there must be something special about it. We can start by studying the pattern of the mirage's appearance and perhaps find some clues."

Shi Chen remained silent and looked at Jia Wang.

Jia Wang frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "I think we could ask more fishermen. Maybe other people have seen this wonder as well. Also, we could go to the nearby sea area and see if there's anything unusual."

Shi Chen thought to himself that although what these two people said was not unique, it did make sense.

He said calmly, "You have a point. So, you can split up and do your own thing. If you have any new information or important clues, please report them to me. I will record your achievements. When the time is up, you will be rewarded based on your achievements. Not only will you get the Jin Yuan Dan, you can also get the Yingying Dan or Zhushen Dan."

As he spoke, Shi Chen flipped his hand, and several bottles of pills appeared on the square table. There were Foundation Establishment Pills, Golden Yuan Pills, Infant Transformation Pills, God Forging Pills, and many auxiliary cultivation pills from Foundation Establishment to God Transformation.

He controlled his spiritual power and opened all the jade bottles on the square table, each of which was full of pills.

Jia Xing and Jia Wang scanned the area with their spiritual senses, both of them utterly shocked. They stared at the bottles of precious medicinal pills on the table, their eyes revealing unconcealed desire and excitement.

Jia Xing thought to himself: I didn't expect that Master Shi actually has so many precious elixirs. It seems that if I can really make a contribution by serving the master this time, the benefits will be unimaginable.

I must seize this opportunity, carefully explore the patterns of mirage appearance, strive to find key clues, and receive the master's reward.

His eyes became more determined and his heart was filled with fighting spirit, as if he had already seen the scene of his strength greatly increased after receiving generous rewards.

Jia Wang's eyes widened, his face full of joy.

He thought to himself: There are so many good pills. As long as I work hard to find clues, maybe I can really get the Jinyuan Pill, or even a better pill.

I have to act quickly, ask more fishermen, and then go to the nearby sea area to explore thoroughly." His honest face showed an anxious expression, and he couldn't wait to set out to look for clues.

Shi Chen was very satisfied to see their expressions. As long as people have thoughts and needs, they cannot escape desire. At the right time, as long as you show tempting benefits, they will flock to you.

Taking back the jade bottle of elixir from the square table, Shi Chen said calmly, "Go ahead and find the clues and information I want as soon as possible. I'll be waiting for your news by the Hundonghai Sea next to this fishing village."

"Master's order, we will act immediately." The two said in unison.

Jia Sheng left the fishing village and drove his flying boat to the nearest market town, where he found the market manager.

Leaving behind three hundred low-grade spirit stones, he requested that the market place announce:

In a fishing village near the East China Sea, a senior expert is hiring cultivators with Foundation Establishment or higher cultivation. One hundred positions available, generous commissions, and spiritual stones, elixirs, and spiritual objects are all available. Interested parties are welcome to visit.

Jia Sheng went to the three markets around the fishing village one by one, left a notice of his request, and left after collecting spiritual stones. As for how many cultivators would go to the fishing village, he could not guarantee that.

The next day, Jia Sheng arrived at the nearby immortal city with a solemn expression. He found a spiritual wine shop within the city, known as Qiongyao Xianniang. He walked through the front hall with steady steps, his eyes scanning the surroundings. The guards at the gate in the middle courtyard each saluted him, and he nodded slightly in response. Arriving at a hidden garden in the backyard, Jia Sheng's eyes focused, and his spiritual sense swept out like a tide, exploring everything within a hundred feet. After a moment, he confirmed that everything was normal, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Jia Sheng cast a spell, and a shadow appeared in the rockery before him, forming a cave entrance. Inside, stairs sloped down, and the cave was incredibly deep. He frowned and slowly walked into the cave entrance.

Jia Sheng walked into a large and dense hall, where an old man with his eyes closed was sitting.

Jia Sheng took a few steps forward, stood still respectfully, and bowed to the old man, "Third Grandpa!"

"The young master is here. What's the situation?" The old man noticed Jia Sheng entering the secret hall, opened his eyes, and asked with concern in his eyes, leaning forward slightly.

"Third Grandpa, don't call me the young master anymore. Now I am just the head of the Jia family. As for our Xiqiongzhou, it is still uncertain whether it will exist in the future. Even if it does, it may not be decided by our Jia family." Jia Sheng shook his head slightly, a helpless look on his face, and sighed.

"If we can take back Dayu Continent, we must fight to regain the title of lord of Xiqiongzhou." The old man clenched his fists and said with a firm look.

"Third Grandpa, I think it's difficult. This time I'm going to the Holy City of the Fire Tribe to attend the grand ceremony, the final human race's counterattack on the Dayu Continent. I don't even have the qualifications to participate. Those who can enter the meeting are all cultivators with the cultivation level of fusion." Jia Sheng frowned and said with a worried look on his face.

"Hmm? A combined cultivator?" The old man looked puzzled. He raised his chin slightly and asked, "Has the content of the meeting been announced?"

"Part of the content has been announced. In this counterattack, rewards will be distributed according to military merit. We have no advantage at all. After conquering Dayu Continent, it will be difficult for us to return to Xiqiongzhou! By then, the continent will be redistributed among the territories of various combined cultivators." Jia Sheng said worriedly, folding his arms across his chest.

"Alas!" The old man sighed, a trace of sadness appeared on his face, and continued: "The three great members of our Jia family united to fight for the continuation of the family and to escape from the Dayu Continent, but they all died one by one. There are nearly one million cultivators in the family, but only a hundred thousand escaped and survived. There are only a handful of people with cultivation above the Golden Core stage. And only I, a dying man, have the highest cultivation level, which is only the eighth level of the late Spirit Transformation stage." The old man lowered his head slightly, his eyes full of loneliness.

"If we don't rely on the fusion cultivators, we will become a clan among the vast families." Jia Sheng said helplessly, his eyes full of confusion.

When the two of them talked about this, they fell silent, each thinking about what was in their mind.
