Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation

Chapter 223



Jiang Xiu had also thought about it. This was indeed a problem. After he got on the cab, he planned to call Nangong Kou'er to sound out her attitude towards his matter.


Just as Lin Yueling said, the Nangong family also cared about their face. Moreover, since everyone from the Jiang family was dead, if only Nangong Kou'er didn't reveal the matter, no one else would know about it, and the chances of her doing so were close to nil.


He took his cell phone out and called her number. Perhaps because it was too early or maybe he remembered it wrong, the other side didn't pick up the call.


That's that then.


But just as the cab was about to arrive at the campus, Jiang Xiu received an SMS from Nangong Kou'er's number - Let's bury the secret between us forever!


Jiang Xiu raised his brows up. Nangong Kou'er was quite calm even though they had done something very intimate. Though she had lost her purity, she didn't lose her sanity and instead choose the best choice.


He deleted this number from his phonebook.


Let bygones be gone!


After arriving at the campus, Jiang Xiu went to his classroom. A professor was lecturing on the dais while students were taking down notes. Due to the accident which happened during the expedition, the administration had prohibited any archaeological activities this semester. This had affected the freshers' passion for studying significantly and caused them to protest, but the administration took a determined stance against it.


Zhou Jin, Zhang Yiwen, and a few others were playing games on their smartphones under the table and not paying attention to the teacher's lecture at all. On the contrary, Zheng Lun engaged in an idle chat with Jiang Xiu.


A student in the row in front of Jiang Xiu was browsing the net in his notebook, looking at images of historic ruins. This was a true archaeology lover.


Suddenly, Jiang Xiu patted his shoulders, "Friend, could you pull up the previous image?"


That person got frightened by Jiang Xiu and cursed out instinctively. "Fudge! Scared the heck out of me!" Only, he still browsed to the previous page. There was a goose-egg sized stone with a glyph on it depicted in the image. From its shape, it appeared the same as the Longevity Stone.


"Friend, where is this thing located at?"


That person replied, "This is a forum. Someone from Europe uploaded it, it's been up for quite some time…"


"Can I take a look?"


That student passed his notebook to Jiang Xiu who then carefully looked at the stone in the image. There was no doubt that this was one of the six Longevity Stones.


The two which he had were refined into the saber pill. To strengthen it, cultivating it played one part, while it also required refinement using unique materials. This Longevity Stone could enable him to increase his strength considerably.


"Europe? Ancient Castle? Auction?"


Things like these were usually put on auctions which were then followed by creating hype for it. Like how an antique gets sold at a high price of around 100 million RMB, and the biggest reason for that is due to the hype.


Jiang Xiu saw the auction price, it was 70.5 Million Euros which were around hundreds of millions in RMB. It was featured piece of the season. With such a price tag on it, whoever planned to buy this stone definitely knew his tools of the trade.


"How did this thing reach outside the country?"


Zheng Lun asked, "This belongs to our country?"


Jiang Xiu muttered to himself. This thing belonged to the Western Regions and couldn't be considered as China's, but though the Western Regions wasn't a part of China, it was a nation which was deeply involved with China, i.e., a bordering country. It wasn't odd that things drifted into China from the Western Regions over the period of history. However, China was humiliated for over a hundred years, and many antiques had flowed out from here. "You can't say that's the case, but this thing shouldn't be in the hands of Europeans."


After classes ended, Jiang Xiu took out his cell phone and called Wang Xintong, "You got the pic?"


"An antique worth several hundred million." Wang Xintong had looked it up.


"Immediately send someone to Europe to discuss with the owner. No matter how high the cost, I want you to buy it." If money could handle the issue, there no problem at all.


"Alright, I'll send someone as soon as possible."


Many buyers tried to inquire about the identity of the seller from the auction house, but it was usually kept confidential to avoid trouble. However, it was only an issue of money to find out the identity of the owner.


The real problem was whether the other party was willing to sell it!


If the other party had discovered the stone's secret or if the stone had led to some change in their body, then that person wouldn't sell it no matter how high the price.


For a person who was selling something worth millions, money wasn't a problem.


"Handle the visa procedures for me properly!"


"Understood!"


If his people couldn't handle it, Jiang Xiu planned to go over personally. Keeping aside the fact that the stone had a mysterious origin, just the simple fact that it could raise his cultivation was enough for him to not let it slip by.


"Jiang Xiu, what are you doing? Come faster." Zheng Lun urged Jiang Xiu who was on the call.


"Come quick!"


"We'll be late otherwise!" Zhou Jin said impatiently.


"What for?"


Zheng Lun laughed mischievously, "What else? To look at the goddess. This is a true goddess from the 3rd year seniors, who is publicly known as the No. 2 of Imperial University."


Even if there were two beauties at home, and he possessed a higher immunity than these brutes, this was a place brimming with youth, a hormone-crazy campus. Campus Divas were always the hottest topic.


"Even our department's Qiu Yinru lacks in comparison to her."


"Qiu Yinru is the department diva, and the other party is the campus diva!"


"They are on totally different levels!"


Jiang Xiu followed behind these brutes and reached the lawn beside the dining hall. Zheng Lun passed down his veteran experience, "Today, the 2nd ranked campus diva has her main course so she'll definitely pass through his path to the dining hall after class ends."


"All this just to look at her?" Jiang Xiu was speechless.


Zhou Jin's mood became sour, "It takes 500 glances from the previous life to exchange for a fleeting encounter in this life. Brothers, you must utilize this chance."


Zhang Yiwen assumed an expression as if he were a love guru and matched accordingly, "Then, how many glances must I use now to be able to enter your heart?"


The classroom at a distance suddenly became noisy, and the seniors started coming out from inside. The sunshine on the noon after the Mid-autumn festival was pretty warm and a chilly autumn wind breezed by. The girls held books in hands and wore charming cheongsams which emphasized their scholarly aura. The entire campus turned lively along with their cheerful talking and laughing.


"She's here!"


"So pretty!"


After hearing their reactions, Jiang Xiu also looked over there curiously. It was a girl around 1.7 m tall who wore a white top paired with her white skirt, along with a belt of the same color at her waist. Due to her height, she appeared like a spotless lily floating in the crowd, free from the vulgarity of the human world.


Her elegant beauty slowly infected a man's eyes and sunk deep into their hearts.


"You're shocked, right?"


As the girl was in the crowd, it was only possible to catch a glimpse of her.


On the side, Zheng Lun mocked him, "You act cool usually but haven't you also turned into a pig after seeing a beauty? But, don't make any plans on this beauty. Her level isn't something we can hope to reach."


Pain flashed through his eyes as Jiang Xiu gazed at that girl. You're so near yet so far away. Even if I have the entire world in this life, without you, I won't feel happy.


"Oi! Wake up already!"


Jiang Xiu saw a hand way in front of him, obstructing his line of sight. He turned back to look. It was Zheng Lun who did it. Zhou Jin and Zhang Yiwen on the side wore looks of loathing as well.


"You said she's the No.2 of Imperial University, right?"


"Who is No. 1?"


That girl was none other than Cheng Lingran. Jiang Xiu didn't believe any woman in this world could be prettier than her. Naturally, this was an individual preference. In Jiang Xiu's eyes, Cheng Lingran was the most beautiful.


"The No.1 girl is Long Shuqing. I also don't think she's prettier, but she has a pretty huge background as she's from the Long family. Do you know how the campus divas are chosen? Not only their appearance, but their family matters are also considered into it." Zheng Lun explained.


"No one is pursuing her?" Jiang Xiu asked.


Zheng Lun replied, "You must be kidding? How can a campus diva not have pursuers? There's plenty of them, but so far, none have been able to get close to her. However, I did hear that a young master has set his eyes on her recently."
