Chapter 4 Every month, 5 Spiritual Stones

Chapter 4 Every month, 5 Spiritual Stones

Ji family.

Ji Yanran woke up early. After a simple wash, she came to the yard, intending to continue practicing.

"Miss Yanran, are you there?"

Just at this moment, a voice was heard outside the yard gate.

Ji Yanran was startled, then said, "I'm here, come in."

I saw an old man in his fifties pushing the door open.

Ji Hong is the elder of the Ji family who is responsible for distributing spirit stones to everyone every month.

"Ms. Yanran, these are the spirit stones distributed this month. I didn't see you go to collect them in the past two days, so I specially sent them to you."

Ji Hong opened his mouth, took out a storage bag and handed it to Ji Yanran.

Ji Yanran was stunned for a moment before she remembered that she did not go to collect it two days ago.

The main reason was that she had been busy practicing and wanted to break through the ninth level of the Vein Condensation Realm and enter the Spirit Transformation Realm as soon as possible, so she forgot about it.

Moreover, as the eldest daughter of the Ji family, she naturally had no shortage of spirit stones. In addition to these 500 spirit stones, she had more spirit stones than she could use up.

"I understand. Thank you, Elder Ji Hong." She said.

"I'm leaving now."

Ji Hong clasped his fists slightly and then turned around.

"Oh, by the way, Elder Ji Hong."

Ji Yanran suddenly remembered something and called him over, "Has Ji Chen gone to collect this month's spiritual stones?"

Hearing this, Ji Hong was stunned, thought about it seriously, and then said, "Master Ji Chen...he received it two days ago."

This piece of trash really took away all the other spirit stones!

Thinking of the storage bag that Ji Chen left behind yesterday, which only contained a few spirit stones, Ji Yanran couldn't help but despise him again and snorted coldly.

"How many spirit stones does he receive from you every month?" She asked again, wanting to know how much Ji Chen actually took away.

"This one……"

Ji Hong frowned, then sighed, "Master Ji Chen can only receive a few spirit stones every month, only five..."

"Five?"

Hearing this number, Ji Yanran was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had heard it wrong. She asked in disbelief, "How could there be only five? When did it happen?"

"If I remember correctly... it seems to have been like this since six years ago."

Ji Hong touched his chin and thought seriously, "At that time, Master Ji Chen could receive 500 spirit stones every month, and because it was difficult for him to improve his cultivation, he saved a lot of them. Later, when the patriarch asked him about it, he found out that he didn't know where all the spirit stones he had were spent. He didn't use them for cultivation."

"The head of the family got angry and asked me to limit the distribution of spirit stones to Master Ji Chen, only giving him five every month, until now."

"six years ago……"

Ji Yanran frowned. Ji Chen was twelve years old at that time.

If I remember correctly, the other party often liked to stick to me at that time.

But because Ji Yanran was busy practicing, she had no time to pay attention to the other party, so she often scolded Ji Chen and told him to get away.

But this guy is really annoying. He always comes to my place every other day.

Later, Ji Yanran asked him to hand over all the spirit stones on him to her, otherwise he would not be allowed to come again.

Ji Chen also agreed obediently. Ji Yanran clearly remembered that Ji Chen took out a lot of spirit stones at once, which scared her.

"Could it be that because of this incident, Dad restricted his distribution of spirit stones, and it has lasted for six years..."

Thinking of this, Ji Yanran couldn't help but frown.

After Ji Hong left, Ji Yanran felt a little upset and had no intention of practicing.

She plans to go out for a walk.

"Sister Yanran."

Around a corner, a young girl ran over with a smile on her face.

It was Ji Xueruo, her younger sister. She was lively by nature, but because she was spoiled by her parents, she became arrogant and often bullied some of the servants in the house.

"Sister Yanran, you smell so good, like my mother."

She threw herself into Ji Yanran's arms and rubbed her hard a few times.

Ji Yanran couldn't help but smile when she heard that, but suddenly she was a little dazed.

I seem to have heard such words somewhere before.

"My sister looks a lot like mom. She smells like mom. Hugging my sister feels like hugging mom."

When he was young, Ji Chen seemed to have said something like this.

But at that time, Ji Yanran was very disgusted with Ji Chen because he always went out to play with Ji Wushuang and came back covered in dirt.

There was another time when he got into a fight with someone for unknown reasons. Because it was difficult to practice, Ji Chen was naturally no match for the opponent. He was beaten so hard that his nose bled and he ran to him crying.

He wiped the blood from his nose on his clothes.

Ji Yanran felt very disgusted. Instead of comforting the other person, she scolded him harshly.

Now thinking back, didn’t Ji Chen at that time just treat himself as a mother?

Whenever they feel wronged or unhappy, they will come to me, like a child looking for his mother, seeking comfort.

But what have you done?

Not only did she not show him any care, but she also looked down on him everywhere.

That's my younger brother.

The spiritual sea is blocked and it is difficult to practice.

Is it his fault?

Obviously, he didn't want that either.

But why, over the years, have I never thought of comforting or encouraging the other person?

On the contrary, he always scolded him, despised him, and hated him.

As an older sister, why didn’t you ever think of standing up for your brother when he was bullied?

Ji Yanran's face turned slightly pale and her brows were tightly furrowed.

"Sister Yanran, I won't talk to you anymore. I still have things to do."

Ji Xueruo giggled and crawled out of her arms.

"Okay, go ahead." Ji Yanran smiled, but her heart felt even colder.

She is also my sister and my closest flesh and blood, but why do I dote on Ji Xueruo so much?

What is Ji Chen then?

"Snapped!"

As she was thinking this, Ji Xueruo, who had just taken two steps, suddenly had something fall off her body.

Ji Yanran turned her head subconsciously, only to see Ji Xueruo seemed a little flustered. She quickly picked up the things and hid them behind her.

"What is that? Take it out."

Ji Yanran's expression suddenly changed. Although she still asked, in fact, the moment she turned her head, she saw what was in Ji Xueruo's hand.

Isn't that the secret method that Ji Chen stole yesterday and then "returned" to the family?

Why are you here with Ji Xueruo?

She suddenly thought of something, and a feeling of uneasiness surged in her heart, causing Ji Yanran to tremble both physically and mentally.

"Oh……"

Seeing that something seemed wrong on Ji Yanran's face, Ji Xueruo could only take the things out obediently.

Sure enough, this is the Ji family’s secret method, the Taixuan Sutra.

This secret technique has been passed down in the Ji family for many years, and only the head of the family can practice it.

Or only the next heir can access it.

In the Ji family today, even Ji Yanran has never truly practiced, because only when one's cultivation has reached the Spiritual Transformation level can one study, otherwise, one will only suffer backlash.

But now, why is he here?

In Ji Xueruo's hands?
