Medicine and poison were closely related since ancient times. The East King Valley was an ancient sect with a deep foundation.
Their base wasn't in Qi, but in the north of Qi. They had their own base and operated independently.
The Yang Country was in the northwest of Qi. Geographically, the East King Valley was closer to the Yang Country.
Under Hua Hai's influence, Shuan Zi said that the depletion of the celestial stone mine seemed to have something to do with the Xi Family.
Logically speaking, although Qingyang Town was under the rule of Jia City, a mere master of Jia City could not have any conflicts with the Zhongxuan family.
Maybe it was because of the East King Valley's background that the Xi Family dared to touch the Junggenjia mine?
The celestial stone was precious, but Jiang Wang looked through the records and found that there weren't many of them. The value of normal celestial stone was greatly reduced.
Was this level of profit enough to fool the Xi family?
Jiang Wang didn't know.
While he was thinking, he suddenly felt a gaze on him. Looking back, he saw that it was Xi Zichu, who was riding a tall horse and walking slowly on the long street.
Jiang Wang smiled warmly.
But Xi Zichu only glanced at him casually and then looked away.
The fanatical cheers didn't die down and followed his figure as he walked further and further away.
With his cultivation, he could've entered the city without alerting anyone.
But he rode a tall horse and swaggered in. He even got the army to open the way.
Just his good looks might not have achieved this effect. Zhao Rucheng's good looks weren't so popular in Maplewood City.
First of all, he was the son of the city lord and a cultivator of the East King Valley. He was definitely the most powerful young man in Jia City and had a bright future. Second of all, his cultivation was already in the Soaring Dragon Realm.
These were all very attractive parts.
But they weren't enough.
There should also be some elements of creating momentum, supplemented by means of illusions and the like.
Jiang Wang didn't understand the meaning of this at first.
But seeing the fanaticism of the crowd, he suddenly thought.
With such a popular person, the Xi Family's rule in Jia City wouldn't be shaken in the next hundred years.
This reason was enough.
Young Master Xi was already far away, but the women on the street were reluctant to leave.
Jiang Wang called Xiaoxiao and Shuanzi and prepared to return to the inn.
He planned to stay in Jia City for a night and then go to the City Lord's Mansion to take a look.
At this moment, a man dressed as a guard suddenly squeezed through the crowd and walked to Jiang Wang's side. He whispered, "My young master invites you."
"Who is your young master?"
The guard smiled and said proudly, "Young Master Xi."
Jiang Wang's heart stirred.
Why is he looking for me?
You know me?
Was it in the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm or South Distant City?
With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Wang casually ordered Xiaoxiao and Shuanzi to return to the inn first.
He said to the guard, "Lead the way."
No matter what reason Xi Zichu had for inviting him to meet in private, he had no reason to be afraid.
If Xi Zichu didn't know him, he didn't have to worry. With his current strength, even if he couldn't easily defeat a Soaring Dragon Realm cultivator, escaping wouldn't be a problem. Xi Zichu wouldn't send four or five Soaring Dragon Realm cultivators to ambush a Ascending Heaven Realm cultivator without knowing him. The entire Xi Family might not be able to find that many experts.
If Xi Zichu knew him, then he didn't have to worry. He now represented the Junggenjia. No matter how brainless Xi Zichu was, he wouldn't dare to openly kill a Junggenjia member.
… …
Following the guard around the city, he finally walked into a small courtyard.
The guard stopped at the courtyard door and a beautiful maid led the way.
From the outside, it looked like an ordinary house, but inside, it was a completely different world.
Rockery, fine water, flowers, and vines. The owner of this place must know how to enjoy life.
When they arrived in front of a pavilion, the maidservant retreated.
Young Master Xi sat alone in the main seat in the pavilion. He was using a warm towel to wipe his face. It seemed like he had just arrived.
A beautiful woman was carefully attending to him at the side.
He put down the towel and waved his hand for the beautiful woman to leave. He looked at Jiang Wang and said: "Brother, please sit."
There was a small table in the pavilion. There was a full pot of wine, two jade cups, and three small dishes.
It was pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Wang casually sat down and closely observed this man who was good at creating momentum.
He only felt that this person's gaze was spirited and his temperament was unique.
There was a faint fragrance on his body, which made Jiang Wang somewhat vigilant. This smell made him associate it with a sea of flowers.
Facing Jiang Wang's sizing up, Xi Zichu didn't mind. He raised the pot and poured two cups of wine. He didn't care if Jiang Wang drank or not and took a sip himself.
"Let me guess … …" he said with a smile: "You're from the Junggenjia?"
Jiang Wang didn't admit nor deny: "How do you know?"
"In the entire Jia City, I know every single person who has reached the Ascending Heaven Realm at your age, but I've never seen you before. So you're not a local. "
"In the entire Jia City, there's no one who doesn't know me. And the way you look at me is filled with curiosity. It means you've just arrived here. "
"From your bones, you should be between eighteen and nineteen years old. Oh, it seems you've lost some of your lifespan. This probably means you've experienced many things. Jia City is a small place, and so is the Yang Country. How could there be so many waves? "
"Most importantly, you're only in the Ascending Heaven Realm, but you make me feel threatened. This means you're very strong. In the entire Jia City area, where else would there be someone who could threaten me? Connecting this to the matter of the Hu Mine's celestial stone vein drying up, I guess you're someone sent by the Junggenjia. "
"Even further. The Junggenjia's affairs in the Yang Country should be taken over by Chung Geng Sheng. "
Xi Zichu seemed to have not understood. He frowned: "But, I thought you were a white-haired youth."
Jiang Wang almost wanted to applaud him. "You probably didn't learn any medical skills in the East King Valley. Instead, it's more like you learned some divination techniques. As you think, I'm Jiang Wang. There's another reason for my hair. "
"That's right." Xi Zichu clapped his hands and smiled.
"Doctors look, listen, question, and feel the pulse. Eyes are very important." He pointed at his own eyes and said confidently: "If I can't even see your strength, then I don't deserve to say I'm cultivating in the East King Valley."
It seemed he needed to learn a secret technique to hide his true strength. He couldn't hide from those sharp eyes just by controlling his Dao Energy. Jiang Wang thought.
He asked, "Since you know why I'm here, why did you invite me here? Is there anything you want to tell me?"
"After seeing you, I just wanted to tell you that the celestial stone vein in the Hu Mine has nothing to do with the Xi Family. We don't even interfere in the affairs of the entire Qingyang Town, other than collecting a small amount of taxes. "
Xi Zichu said slowly: "Please believe in my wisdom. My little achievement in the East King Valley is not enough to make me so arrogant. Although the East King Valley is strong, it's far away in the north. And Junggenjia is right in front of us. A Soaring Dragon Realm cultivator can reach here from Qi in three days at full speed, not to mention those stronger cultivators. "
Jiang Wang was already somewhat convinced. He said: "Other than that, do you have anything to remind me?"
Xi Zichu crossed his fingers and put them in front of him with an unfathomable expression: "That's something you have to consider."
Jiang Wang nodded: "That's true."
"Since you're Jiang Wang, one of the victors of the Heaven Secret Realm this time, let's talk about it. Next, let's talk about something interesting. " Xi Zichu said slowly: "I have a friend called Ji Xiu. He also participated in the Heaven Secret Realm, but unfortunately, he failed. Do you remember him? "
"You're good at guessing. Why don't you continue guessing?"
Jiang Wang smiled and got up to leave the small courtyard.
He had achieved his goal.
He knew Xi Zichu wasn't an idiot. That was enough.
He was the son of Jia City's City Lord and cultivated in the East King Valley. He was also in the Soaring Dragon Realm and had a lot of power in the Xi Family. As long as he wasn't stupid, he wouldn't agree to let the Xi Family touch the Junggenjia mine.
Before more evidence appeared, the Xi Family's problem could be ruled out for the time being.
