Xiao Jinting settled down, and many Golden Core cultivators surrounded him.
Cultivation resources became very precious when they reached the Golden Core level. They often held meetings to trade their spare treasure for something useful with other people.
Xiao Jinting had killed many demonic beasts along the way, and some Golden Core cultivators were interested in the bodies of the demonic beasts.
“Mr. Xiao, I heard that you are looking for something that can resurrect withered trees recently?” Mu Jinzhi asked secretly after he went up to Xiao Jinting.
Xiao Jinting said with joy, “Yes, do you have anything like that?”
“No, but I have a map of the location of Growing Earth,” Mu Jinzhi said mysteriously.
Xiao Jinting paused for a moment and asked solemnly, “Mr. Mu, are you serious?”
Xiao Jinting frowned with suspicion. Growing Earth was not ordinary soil. Rumor had it that the first spiritual wood was created in Growing Earth in the beginning of the world. Withered trees would come back to life in Growing Earth and grow fast.
Growing Earth was the most suitable spiritual soil for growing spiritual plants. However, it got extinct in the cultivation world.
“Of course,” Mu Jinzhi said firmly.
Xiao Jinting got more suspicious. “Mr. Mu, do you like to sell the map to me?”
Mu Jinzhi nodded and said seriously, “You are destined to be my friend, so I like to give you this map.”
Xiao Jinting said suspiciously, “Mr. Mu, don’t you think you will have better reward if you give this map to the Nascent Souls?” Mu Jinzhi looked like a swindler.
“Jinzhi, you are fooling people again. Be careful that you would be beaten up.” A chubby cultivator came over and slapped Mu Jinzhi’s shoulder.
Mu Jinzhi glared at the chubby cultivator with displeasure.
His secret was exposed.
He turned green and white.
Mu Jinzhi’ map wasn’t a complete map.
Moreover, the Growing Earth in the location marked in the map should have been collected. However, even if the Growing Earth had been taken away, the surrounding soil in the land should have the same effect after staying with the Growing Earth for a while.
Many years ago, Mu Jinzhi spread the news that he had the map of Growing Earth, and a Nascent Soul was tempted and came to him. But he soon found out it was a lie, so he beat Mu Jinzhi up.
If someone had not put in a good word, Mu Jinzhi might have died.
It had been a hot topic back then, and Mu Jinzhi became a laughing stock. This was not a secret, and his peers knew well about it.
However, when Mu Jinzhi saw Xiao Jinting, who was young and had spent years abroad, he had an idea of tricking him.
“Xiao Jinting would not give up at all. You’ve made a fortune, “said Huang Li, the chubby cultivator.
Growing Earth was rare, so was the spiritual soil that had surrounded it. That Nascent Soul didn’t give up and went to look for it according to the map, but he found nothing.
Mu Jinzhi glared at Huang Li and said, “If it weren’t for you, I would have sold it at a higher price. You are a jerk.”
Huang Li smiled indifferently and said, “Come on, I did it for your good, Xiao Jinting gave birth to a good son, who married the grandson of a Nascent Soul. If he knows that you are lying, he might beat you up.”
Mu Jinzhi glared at Huang Li and turned to leave.
Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jinting and asked, “Did you exchange?”
Xiao Jinting nodded, “Yeah!”
The Immortal Wood was planted in his space, and there was no sign of growing or withering.
Although he couldn’t find the Growing Earth marked in the map, the soil there might be of some use as the Growing Earth used to be there.
Chen Lifeng had helped his family a lot, and Xiao Jinting had to do something to repay his kindness.
Xu Muan looked at the map and said, “This damn map is only a small fragment. It’s not easy to find the soil!”
Xiao Jinting said calmly, “Take our time. The map is only one of the ways, and we have to think of other solutions.”
Xu Muan nodded and said, “That is what we can do.”
