Left Foot on Right Foot, You're Trying to Ascend to Heaven!

BOOM—

In that instant, a thunderclap seemed to explode deep within the soul of Xue Feng, a flash of lightning tearing through his mind!

The words "Even a Title Douluo would benefit from consuming this" echoed incessantly in his brain.

The old man ran into trouble during his cultivation when he was young... he's been stuck at level 79, unable to make any progress for many years now...

The current Emperor is only a level 88 Spirit Douluo... If I can get a Greater Restoration Pill for the old man to break through his bottleneck and advance to Spirit Douluo, then perhaps...

A surge of burning heat welled up in the depths of Xue Feng's eyes... When that day comes, he would no longer be a mere Prince's heir, but the Crown Prince!!

No, no, what good is a single Greater Restoration Pill!

Every pill must have a recipe... The recipe is the true treasure. As long as I can obtain the recipe, I can mass-produce them, secretly cultivate high-level Spirit Masters, and accumulate power... Once everything is ready, I can rise up with a single call...

He glanced at Dugu Yan, and the heat in his eyes vanished in an instant, as if it had never existed at all!

It wasn't that he was afraid of this Jade Phosphorous Serpent, but rather, some things simply could not be done in public.

"Pavilion Master, it was my previous lack of decorum! I, Xue Feng, offer my apologies to the Pavilion Master here!"

He looked at Li Jingzhe and suddenly bowed.

This gesture left everyone around them stunned.

Li Jingzhe gave a playful smile: "No need for apologies, I'm not that petty."

"Since that is the case, I wonder if the Pavilion Master would be willing to visit the Prince's Mansion for a chat?"

Xue Feng smiled humbly and bowed in agreement.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was taken aback, and the gazes they cast toward Li Jingzhe were now filled with envy.

This was the goodwill and solicitation of a Prince's heir!!

It was hard to imagine that the two who were at each other's throats just moments ago could now be so amicable.

But thinking about it, it made sense; Prince's heir Xue Feng was, after all, of royal blood, possessing his own measure of poise and character!

And this Pavilion Master was someone who held a rare, peerless treasure like the Greater Restoration Pill.

Could it be that this inconspicuous little Spirit Master was about to become another guest advisor for the Prince's Mansion?

However, just as the crowd was whispering among themselves, they saw Li Jingzhe glance at Xue Feng and chuckle: "I'm afraid I must decline the heir's kind offer! I still have to open my Space Gate for business."

"Heh, then this heir shall not force the issue! However, the doors of the Prince's Mansion will always be open to the Pavilion Master!"

Putting away the Greater Restoration Pill, Xue Feng took a deep look at Li Jingzhe, turned, and walked out of the Scripture Depository. He had to hurry back and let the old man try this thing; if it worked, he could arrange the subsequent matters as soon as possible!

Seeing their master leave, the three lackeys naturally scrambled to follow.

"Heh..."

Li Jingzhe shook his head, not taking Xue Feng to heart at all.

Another 25 million Gold Soul Coin in the account. After deducting the 5 million for the pill cost, that's a net profit of 20 million. Adding that to what I've already earned... tsk, I'm now a man with over 40 million in my pocket...

If I can fleece these suckers one by one... I'll be able to afford the Vermilion Fruit by today!

Thinking this, Li Jingzhe's gaze swept across the faces of the second team's pampered youths.

But before he could even speak!

SWISH—

The original captain of the second team—the one with a bruised and swollen face and two panda eyes—rushed toward him like a gust of wind.

"Pavilion Master... Pavilion Master, hello. I heard Senior Dugu and the others call you that... I, I want one too, a Greater Restoration Pill, my family has money!"

His charge seemed to trigger a chain reaction, and the dozen or so members of the second team all surged forward at once.

"Give me one!"

"I want one too!"

"Pavilion Master, can I have a Snake Gallbladder instead?"

The entire Scripture Depository instantly became rowdy. What etiquette? What upbringing? Everything was cast to the back of their minds at this moment!

Everyone was terrified of falling behind and ending up with nothing.

The scene descended into chaos!

"Enough!"

Li Jingzhe sighed helplessly: "One by one, don't rush, there's enough for everyone!"

"You go first, what do you want?"

He pointed at the bruised and battered former captain of the second team.

"Greater Restoration Pill, Pavilion Master, I want a Greater Restoration Pill, a Greater Restoration Pill!"

The man hurriedly handed over a Black Gold Card.

Li Jingzhe took the money, handed over the goods, and looked at the next person: "And you?"

"I want a Greater Restoration Pill too!"

The transaction completed, the next person stepped up: "Pavilion Master, I... can I just have two snake gallbladders?"

Li Jingzhe took the payment and handed over the goods: "Sure, why not... Mind you, don't chew the Bosi Qu Snake Gallbladder, swallow it whole."

Just like that, Li Jingzhe kept collecting money and handing out goods, handing out goods and collecting money. When he encountered someone paying with a Bearer Card, he simply kept the card; when he encountered someone using a Black Gold Card, he would directly top it up and let the System Mall deduct the amount.

In no time at all, he had made a fortune, with stacks of Bearer Cards piled up on the table... A Bearer Purple Card was worth one thousand Gold Soul Coin, a Red Card ten thousand Gold Soul Coin, a Black Card one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coin, and a Gold Card one million Gold Soul Coin.

At this moment, there were thirty-five Gold Cards on the table alone, amounting to thirty-five million Gold Soul Coin.

The balance in the System Mall had reached over two hundred million Gold Soul Coin.

There was no other reason; Dugu Yan, Xue Feng, and the seven original official members of the second team had all purchased a Greater Restoration Pill, plus the earnings from the Bosi Qu Snake Gallbladder.

The spare change alone was enough to buy a Vermilion Fruit!

This was truly a sudden clap of thunder, becoming rich overnight—nothing less than that!

Pfft—

Just as Li Jingzhe was immersed in the joy brought by money, Ye Lingling, who had been standing at the door, couldn't hold it in any longer and let out a snicker.

"Look at that money-grubbing look on your face..."

Li Jingzhe brushed off the stack of Gold Cards on the table: "Earned by my own ability."

Mm-hmm!

Ye Lingling nodded. Such a cold beauty, yet at this moment, she exuded a sense of docility.

She moved with lotus steps, bypassing the second-team members who were sitting cross-legged in meditation, and came to the desk, handing over a Black Gold Card: "Pavilion Master, I want a Greater Restoration Pill and a snake gallbladder. Besides that, I also want..."

Li Jingzhe immediately perked up: "Yo, is Miss Ye looking to add to her order? Tell me, what else do you want?"

Ye Lingling took a deep breath, then another, and another... Finally, as if she had prepared herself mentally, she said, "I also want to purchase a Self-Created Soul Skill from the Pavilion Master."

Li Jingzhe pointed to the bookshelf: "Which one did you take a fancy to?"

Seeing this, Ye Lingling walked toward a set of bookshelves with a clear purpose. A moment later, she returned and handed the book in her hand to Li Jingzhe: "Pavilion Master, I want to learn this!"

Li Jingzhe glanced at the book cover... Holy crap? Seven Injuries Fist?

His expression immediately turned strange: "Are you sure you want to learn this?"

"Yes!"

Ye Lingling nodded solemnly: "Actually, I read the general outline of this Self-Created Soul Skill last night. It says that practicing this set of fist techniques requires a very profound level of soul power cultivation, otherwise, it is easy to suffer backlash... But even if one's soul power cultivation is high enough, there is still a risk of injuring oneself, right?"

As she spoke, she recited the general outline of the Seven Injuries Fist to herself: "The five elements of qi regulate yin and yang... damaging the heart, injuring the lungs, and destroying the liver and intestines... the spirit departs and the essence is lost, leaving one in a daze... the triple burner reverses, and the soul flies away..."

"Pavilion Master, tell me, can my Nine Heart Begonia martial soul heal the backlash of the Seven Injuries Fist?"

She suddenly lifted her small face, full of anticipation!

Even a healer has a heart to be a main damage dealer...

Li Jingzhe felt a bit emotional, though his expression became increasingly strange.

Good heavens... using the healing ability of the Nine Heart Begonia to exploit the bug of the Seven Injuries Fist, where one must injure oneself before injuring others?

Losing health while healing at the same time?

That's like stepping on your left foot with your right, a rhythm that sends you straight to the heavens!
