Druid in the Xianxia world

Chapter 38 Buying Spiritual Plants
The benefits of success are endless, but failure does not come at much of a cost. With such a good thing, who can resist and not want to give it a try?

However, although they were prepared to take action, no one here was prepared to engage in mindless provocation.

Just as they were thinking about how to strike back at Zhong Cang and show off their abilities without appearing arrogant and annoying, a slightly frivolous voice rang out among the crowd.

"Ahem, you're all worried about how to have a fair duel with Zhong Cang, right? I have a great opportunity. Three days from now, the first teacher to teach us will be from the Law Cultivation Academy. I'm familiar with that teacher, and I can ask him to give us a small test in class. The test requires a demonstration, so if you're interested, I can ask that teacher to invite Zhong Cang and you to the stage for a fair duel."

Such words made several cultivators with second-class spiritual roots who were preparing to compete somewhat tempted, but one man also said bluntly: "Luo Kang, are you willing to give us this opportunity?"

"Hehe, of course I wouldn't let you go up for no reason... I'm familiar with that teacher, but asking him to do something like this also requires some favors, so, you know..."

After knowing what Luo Kang wanted, those powerful and influential children with second-class spiritual roots all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you want spirit stones? Sure, as you wish."

In this way, Luo Kang made a deal with the others, intending to compete with Zhong Cang in the first magic class.

After those rich young men left, Luo Kang did not leave immediately. Instead, he came to a man and a woman.

If Zhong Cang were here, he would find that this man and woman were two of the four people with the best spiritual root talents in Yunmo Xinhu this year - Chang Quan and Qi Wei.

Looking at Chang Quan, Luo Kang greeted him with a smile.

"Boss, I have already carried out your instructions. In three days, we will be able to see Zhong Cang's ability."

Hearing this, Chang Quan did not immediately pay attention to Luo Kang. Instead, he smiled and said to Qi Wei, "Qi Wei, haven't you always been curious about why Shuang Lingxue fell in love with Zhong Cang? In the test three days later, I will reveal all of Zhong Cang's abilities."

Because she regarded Shuang Lingxue as her old enemy, the fact that she had taken a fancy to Zhong Cang did indeed make Qi Wei quite curious. However, after hearing that Chang Quan was planning to test Zhong Cang's ability, she was not happy. Instead, she sneered and abruptly said, "They set up this situation on purpose. Are you also ready to take action in the test in three days?"

"Forehead……"

After a moment of silence, Chang Quan did not refute.

"I will indeed take action. Miss Qi, haven't you always wanted to compete with Miss Shuang Lingxue? If I defeat Zhong Cang, it will just show that you have outstanding vision..."

"Ha ha……"

Before Chang Quan could finish his words, Qi Wei sneered, "Don't use that excuse as an excuse. You've put so much effort into this. What you really want is to show off in front of Shuang Lingxue, and then win her favor by overwhelming Zhong Cang. You're still a lovesick person."

"I didn't mean that..."

"Shut up, Chang Quan, don't treat me like a fool!"

After saying that, Qi Wei turned around and left with a cold face.

Her departure also made Chang Quan's expression gloomy.

……

Yun Mo Xinhu targeted Zhong Cang and avoided him and Shuang Lingxue.

However, although he did not see it with his own eyes, after leaving Yunmo Heart Lake, Zuo He could not help but remind his young lady.

"Miss, your waiting today has caused Zhong Cang a lot of trouble."

Hearing this, Shuang Lingxue lost the innocence she had in front of Zhong Cang. Instead, she sighed tiredly and said, "Then do you think that if I don't wait for Mr. Zhong Cang at Yunmo Heart Lake today, others will not be hostile to him?"

"..."

These words made Zuo He silent.

Only then did he realize that unless there was no contact at the beginning, or the young lady was extremely cold, whether she waited for Zhong Cang or not today would not affect his being treated hostilely.

As for not contacting him openly but communicating secretly, or using himself as a mouthpiece to communicate with Zhong Cang, this idea only appeared in Zuo He's mind for a moment. But soon, he thought of something else.

My young lady is indeed kind-hearted and a good person, but she has been educated in the power struggles of the aristocratic families and is even smarter.

"The young lady should have thought of this, but she didn't do it. Was it because she was too excited that she forgot, or was it..."

Thinking of something, Zuo He suddenly shook his head and dared not think about it anymore.

When he was speechless, Shuang Lingxue spoke up: "My attitude today may make Mr. Zhong Cang hostile to others, but as long as I am here, those people will not dare to go too far. Therefore, we don't have to worry about Mr. Zhong Cang's safety."

"Let's go. Let's not go to Huangni Village this afternoon. I remember that my teacher asked me to go to Youyun Chamber of Commerce yesterday to urge the spiritual tree of enlightenment."

"Since you have something to ask for, buy it as soon as possible."

This made Zuo He a little surprised.

"Miss, didn't the eldest master say last night that we would increase our investment after Zhong Cang had some research results? You agreed at that time."

"...You're right, I did agree yesterday."

Speaking of this, Shuang Lingxue looked at the lush trees growing in the Taoist temple, her expression a little lost: "But the situation has changed."

"Huh?" This made Zuo He look confused: "What changes?"

Without any intention of answering, Shuang Lingxue, who was thinking, took Zuo He and rushed directly to Youyun Chamber of Commerce.

……

Half an hour later, in a chic and elegant room in Youyun Chamber of Commerce, Yayun was personally receiving Shuang Lingxue. As for Yaxin, she could only stand aside to accompany her.

Looking at Shuang Lingxue, Yayun's attitude was very enthusiastic, but she was just enthusiastic, without the respect and flattery like others.

Shuang Lingxue knew the reason for this, but she didn't care. Instead, she smiled innocently and sweetly at Yayun and said, "Sister Yayun, I'm sorry to bother you."

"Haha, what's the point of disturbing me? I'm open for business. It's a blessing for me to have a distinguished guest like Miss Shuang come to visit me. The more you come, the more welcome I will be..."

After exchanging pleasantries, Yayun took the lead in asking Shuang Lingxue why she came.

"I wonder why Miss Shuang came here this time?"

Shuang Lingxue: "I'm here because of Mr. Zhong Cang. He once asked your Youyun Chamber of Commerce to buy a spiritual tree that can help you gain enlightenment. I wonder if you have found it yet?"

These words made Yayun raise her delicate eyebrows. She didn't expect that Shuang Lingxue would come in person to inquire about this matter.

Subconsciously, she shook her head and said, "We haven't found it yet. Miss Shuang, you know that the major families have been looking to buy spiritual trees that can help with enlightenment. Even for our Youyun Chamber of Commerce, it will take a long time to find one."

"That's it..."

After a few moments of silence, Shuang Lingxue suddenly spoke: "Since we can't find it in a short time, let's end this commission."

"Huh?" Shuang Lingxue's reaction stunned Yaxin who was standing next to her.

He came here in person for Zhong Cang's request, and then ended Zhong Cang's purchasing commission. This made her a little confused. Did Shuang Lingxue value Zhong Cang or not?

However, she couldn't understand why Yayun had experienced more things. She noticed something from Shuang Lingxue's attitude.

This also made her change some of her ideas.
