RETURNING FROM THE IMMORTAL WORLD

Chapter 411 - Chapter 420

Chapter 411: The Bigger the Hope, the Greater the Disappointment

Serious, Chi Nan kept a solemn expression. Her eyes only swept over Han Qingwu and moved aside right away. Tang Xiu himself didn't want to speak with Han Qingwu, so he looked at Wei Jiangping, cupped his fists and said, "Are you the current owner of Buried Diamond, Wei Jiangping?"

"Hmm?" Wei Jiangping's brows furrowed deeper. He put down the chopsticks in his hands and lightly said, "Young man, could it be that you don't know something called etiquette?"

"If you are Wei Jiangping, I don't think it's necessary for me to respect you." Tang Xiu said lightly, "After all, I'm not one who thinks highly of someone who can abandon his children just because of having an aspiration or something."

Children?

Staring blankly, Wei Jiangping abruptly got up from his chair, shock in his eyes, as he asked, "Who are you?"

At this moment, even Han Jintong quickly stood, eyes fixated on Tang Xiu.

"You're old, hence, you can only achieve an insufficient level in your Qigong practice." Slightly shaking his head, Tang Xiu said, "No wonder your cultivation was only raised to such a level after practicing for so many years. Anyhow, you'll learn about my identity later. But now, I want to know about the Buried Diamond. Did you buy it, or crafted it yourself?"

"This old man crafted and carved it myself." Wei Jiangping said in a deep voice.

Happy with the answer, Tang Xiu asked once again, "You should have crafted it based on something, and it shouldn't be based on your imagination, right? You have seen a medicinal herb that had a shape like Buried Diamond, yes?"

"Yes, I have seen it." Wei Jiangping deeply said.

"Where did you see it?" Tang Xiu asked.

Wei Jiangping didn't answer the question, instead, he asked, "I've answered some of your questions, shouldn't you also answer some of mine?"

"You should be one of six at the beginning, and now there are only two of you. There should be four others, yes?" Tang Xiu said lightly.

An earthquake shook Wei Jiangping and Han Jintong's hearts as they exchanged looks. No one apart from them knew about that matter. How did this young man know about this?

Wei Jiangping stayed silent for a while, as he finally said, "Yes, there are indeed four others, including this old man's wife. What relationship do you have with Senior Gu?"

"She's my disciple." Tang Xiu said.

"What?"

Wei Jiangping and Han Jintong exclaimed in unison.

Han Qingwu, who stood at the side, looked confused and asked, "Tang Xiu, what are you talking about with these two Grandpas? What's with there being other four people? What disciple?"

Tang Xiu ignored her and looked at Wei Jiangping, saying, "Now you should tell me. Where did you see that medicinal herb?"

While suppressing his shock, Wei Jiangping replied, "Shennong Ridge, Ghost King Valley."

"Can you tell me the specific address?" After being silent for a while, Tang Xiu asked, "I urgently need that precious medicinal herb. I can help you break through your current bottleneck and further your cultivation if you can help me obtain it."

His heart shook, yet, a forced wry smile appeared on Wei Jiangping's old face. He shook his head and said, "There's nothing I can do. I picked that special medicinal herb in the past, trying to replant it in another place. In the end, the bud withered. Since I didn't know its efficacy and uses, I didn't dare to prescribe any medicines out of it. Hence, I threw it away. There should be no other such medicinal herb over there."
