Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Fusheng City.
It was a city located in the southwest of the Tianyun Empire.
In the entire empire, Fusheng City was only a small city.
However, Fusheng City was quite spectacular in the southwest region.
Compared to Xiaoyu Town, it was totally different. The streets were bustling with people most of the time.
‘As soon as they entered the city, Wan’er, Yan’er, and Liu’er were mesmerized by the bustling scene on the streets.
“Dad, Dad, Look! It’s so lively over there!”
Wan’er pointed at a group of people who were juggling on the side of the road and said excitedly to Jiang Ping, “Dad, what are they doing? Why are they putting a big rock on that person lying on the ground?”
Jiang Ping glanced at them and said indifferently, “Oh, they are going to crush that rock on his chest.”
“Crushing a big rock on his chest?” Wan’er repeated with a puzzled look.
“Yes, they are putting a big rock on the person lying on the ground, and then someone will take a big hammer and smash it down!” Jiang Ping explained while waving his hand and gesturing.
“ah!”
The three girls were immediately shocked.
“Then…will that person be smashed to death?” Wan’er stuttered as she asked.
“That won’t happen. That person is very skilled. When the hammer smashes down, the rock will shatter, but that person will be completely fine.”
Jiang Ping patted Wan’er’s head and explained with a smile.
‘Wan’er pouted. It was obvious that she didn’t quite believe Jiang Ping’s words.
At this moment, the juggler moved.
‘A strong man raised a large hammer high above his head and smashed it down.
Boom!
‘The hammer hit the rock and instantly produced a deafening sound.
‘The huge rock instantly shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.
‘The man lying on the ground patted the rock debris on his body and stood up with a whoosh.
He bowed to the crowd around him and said with a smile, “Thank you very much. If you have money, please support me financially. If not, please also support me by being present!”
‘The crowd burst into thunderous applause when they saw that he was not injured at all.
‘The copper coins were thrown into the center of the stage like snowflakes.
Although this was a cultivation world, there were still many people with blocked veins who could not cultivate. The currency used by these people was gold, silver, and copper coins, which was different from the spirit stones that cultivators liked to trade.
“Amazing!”
‘Wan’er couldn’t help but clap her hands.
Jiang Ping chuckled and took out some scattered silver from his bag and threw it out.
As this performance could make his precious daughter laugh, it was worth offering him this amount of silver!
“Dad, he’s really good, just like you said!”
“Of course.”
Wan’er asked again, “Dad, how did he do it? Is his chest harder than a rock?”
“Just about, there’s actually nothing surprising about it.” Jiang Ping waved his hand and said indifferently.
In fact, there was nothing much to say about it.
Jiang Ping could tell at a glance that the man had already broken through to the tempering realm and was a cultivator who specialized in refining the body. His chest might really be harder than a rock.
Such a performance was only good in front of these ordinary people who didn’t have any cultivation.
If he had met a cultivator, he might not even bother to look at it!
Logically speaking, as long as Wan’er and her siblings trained their bodies, they could easily do this.
Of course, Jiang Ping would never let his daughters do such a thing. If they accidentally got hurt, he would be the one whose heart would ache.
“Dad, Dad, I want to play with dolls!”
“Dad, I want to eat candy!”
On the street, the three little girls’ voices rose one after another.
“Okay, one candy for each one of you. After you take it, we’ll go and play with dolls. Tell me which dolls you like, and I will get it for you!”
They entered Fusheng City in the early morning. They only reached a quiet courtyard at sunset.
“Uncle Zhong, is this the place?” Jiang Ping glanced at the courtyard and asked.
‘As early as yesterday, he had instructed Chen Zhong to enter the city and find a better courtyard first.
Chen Zhong was quite efficient. In just a day, he found a rather elegant courtyard.
In terms of size, this place was even bigger than the Jiang Mansion in Xiaoyu Town.
In terms of architectural layout, it was obvious the work of a master. It was exquisite, unique and ingenious.
In terms of location, it was also very much in line with Jiang Ping’s intentions.
It was far away from the bustling city, so it would not be noisy on normal days. However, it was not a remote place either, so it did not have that kind of lifeless feeling.
Chen Zhong quickly replied, “Yes, Patriarch. This is the courtyard that I found. I wonder if you are satisfied?”
“Mm, not bad. I can be relieved if the job is done by you.” Jiang Ping could not help but praise Chen Zhong.
Chen Zhong was instantly overjoyed when he heard the praise. He felt that even his back had straightened quite a bit!
Jiang Ping turned around again and asked the three little girls, “Wan‘er, Yan’er, Liu’er, we will live here from now on. What do you guys think?”
“Really?”
‘The three little girls’ eyes suddenly widened and became as big as stars.
Although they had not visited the whole courtyard, this place was already better than the Jiang family in Xiaoyu Town. Plus, there was a sense of novelty, so they were naturally very happy.
Jiang Ping understood and chuckled, “It seems that you’re all very satisfied?”
“That’s great then. This will be our new home from now on. Wan’er, Yan’er, and Liver, why don’t the three of you go and pick your own room?”
“Yes!”
‘The three little girls were overjoyed. They hopped around the courtyard.
Looking at them, Li Sushang could only let out a bitter laugh. She quickly followed and shouted, “Slow down, don’t fall!”
“Patriarch, it seems that the young ladies like this place!”
Looking at the three happy girls, Chen Zhong also felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
Jiang Ping nodded and asked again, “How much is this house?”
Chen Zhong’s face immediately sank, but he didn’t answer for a long time.
“Why, is this house very expensive?” Jiang Ping also sensed that something was wrong with him, so he raised his eyebrows and asked.
“Yes and no,” Chen Zhong answered helplessly.
Then he continued to explain, “The original owner of this house was a cultivator, so…the thing he wanted was a bit special.”
“What is it?”
Jiang Ping was also quite surprised.
He didn’t expect to get involved with a cultivator when he bought a house. What a coincidence!
Chen Zhong slowly stretched out a finger and said with a bitter expression, “He said that he wants a high-quality spirit stone.”
“But he also said that if it really doesn’t work, two thousand silver is also fine.” Chen Zhong hurriedly added as he was afraid that Jiang Ping would be in a difficult position.
In the end, Jiang Ping couldn’t help but laugh when he heard that.
‘Two thousand silver was indeed not a small amount to him. After all, the daily expenses of his family were high.
But a high-quality spirit stone was like a drop in the ocean to him.
After signing in to the system, he didn’t even know how many high-quality spirit stones he had accumulated over the years.
Perhaps in the eyes of many cultivators, such a spirit stone was extremely precious.. But to him, it was not worth mentioning!
