True Person Zhihua smiled happily. Since Zhou Wuji left, she had no one to talk to, let alone anyone to laugh with.
His peers were all old and stubborn, True Person Zhiyun was wise, he was quite boring.
Needless to say, the younger generation can't even speak properly when they see her.
Only Zhou Wuji was eloquent, funny, and had a different mind than others; he dared to think and act.
This alone makes them far superior to all the useless people in our academy.
True Person Zhihua laughed for a while and then suddenly said, "I specialize in the Tianshu Sword, and I don't even know the Third Rank Army-Breaking Sword."
Zhou Wuji smiled and said, " The True Person is not unharmed; he can simply go to our academy to find the sect leader."
Before True Person Zhihua could speak, he said solemnly, "I owe you one more thing, True Person. With the Northern Emperor above, I will never break my promise."
True Person Zhihua laughed again, "You're willing to exchange such a mere favor for Third Rank Army-Breaking Sword? That's quite a bargain."
Zhou Wuji smiled ingratiatingly, "It's mainly because you're True Person enough to offer me a helping hand. This favor is just an expression of my gratitude."
"You're getting better and better at talking."
True Person Zhihua sneered, "However, why didn't you speak properly to the old men in this courtyard, instead of making a scene and tearing off all pretenses?"
"They disrespect True Person; how can I associate with them?"
Zhou Wuji suppressed his smile and said seriously, "Although True Person are an elder, you are my closest friend."
"Even if we combine the strength of everyone in this academy, we still can't compare to True Person."
True Person Zhihua was somewhat moved, but she quickly suppressed her emotion. This young man was willing to say anything for the sake of the Third Rank Army-Breaking Sword. She said, "Consider yourself lucky. Although I don't know how to use the Third Rank Army-Breaking Sword Army-Breaking Sword, the Upper Court does have Third Rank. I can pass it on to you."
She sneered, " Zhou Zhiyi already agreed, I'm just fulfilling his promise."
Master True Person Zhihua Zhou Zhiyi in utter contempt.
Taking control of Yuheng and the Zhou Household, eliminating dissidents and supporting one's own people—that's all fine.
The key issue is his incompetence. Yuheng is getting worse and worse. The Zhou Household has enjoyed a lot of cultivation resources, but they are still the same old people and can't be helped at all!
Stubborn and incompetent, utterly utterly useless.
Seeing the somber expression on True Person Zhihua's face, Zhou Wuji knew that the True Person must be recalling unpleasant past events, so he remained silent.
After a moment of silence, Master Zhihua saw Zhou Wuji waiting cautiously. She smiled and casually gave Zhou Wuji the Heavenly Pivot Token, instructing him to go to the Heavenly Power Hall to receive the secret technique.
After leaving the Yuheng Hall, Zhou Wuji went to the Heavenly Authority Hall first and used the Heavenly Pivot Token of True Person Zhihua to retrieve the Third Rank Army-Breaking Sword.
The steward guarding the Heavenly Authority Hall was also a little confused. How come True Person Hongde has returned again!
But he didn't dare ask any more questions. If it were anyone else, he might have gone to True Person Zhihua to verify, but he wouldn't dare do that to Zhou Wuji.
This True Person Hongde is notoriously vengeful!
With True Person Zhihua's Heavenly Pivot Token still in existence, and Zhou Wuji also leaving his own Heavenly Pivot Token seal, the procedures are complete, so if any problems arise, it has nothing to do with him.
Zhou Wuji obtained the Jade Slip and used his Divine Sense to read the Jade Slip Army-Breaking Sword Technique within it.
Only after he had completely memorized the Army-Breaking Sword Technique did he open the Northern Emperor's Book of Heavenly Punishment and see that he had mastered the Army-Breaking Sword Technique. Only then did he return the Jade Slip slip.
Zhou Wuji instructed the steward to keep it a secret and not to tell anyone that he had come here to practice Secret Method.
The deacon practically swore an oath to never reveal the secret.
Zhou Wuji gave the steward two Fourth-Revolution Purple Qi Pill, which greatly pleased the steward. He was supposed to keep his position as steward a secret, so he dared not say anything.
He was somewhat flattered to receive the pills from Zhou Wuji.
After leaving the Heavenly Authority Hall, Zhou Wuji went to the Flying Profound Hall first.
The Zhiyuan priest was lying under the eaves, basking in the sun, with a thin blanket covering him.
Upon seeing Zhou Wuji in blue and carrying a sword, enter, the Zhiyuan Daoist priest Zhiyuan's eyes widened, and he stood up abruptly, causing the thin blanket covering him to fall off.
Zhou Wuji smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, "Grandmaster Uncle, how have you been?"
"Why are you back?" The old Daoist priest Zhiyuan looked surprised. He saw that Zhou Wuji was all smiles and in a good mood, so he figured he hadn't been forced to come back, and he was relieved.
"I have something to discuss with True Person Zhihua."
Zhou Wuji didn't say much. Zhiyuan the old man to enjoy his retirement. There was no point in talking to him about these complicated grievances. It was better to let the old man worry less.
"Oh----"
The Zhiyuan Daoist priest nodded and asked, "Should I arrange a meal for you?"
"Never mind, I have other things to do. I just came to see you specifically," Zhou Wuji said.
"You need money?" Zhiyuan asked nervously. "If you're in such a hurry, I can't get that much money!"
"Hahahaha----" Zhou Wuji laughed loudly. The old Daoist priest immediately became clever when money was mentioned.
He shook his head. "Not for now."
Zhou Wuji took out a wooden box from his sleeve. "Inside are ten Fourth-Revolution Jade Liquid Pill. Try them."
Jade Liquid Pill can nourish Qi and Blood externally and strengthen essence and nourish spirit internally, making it the most suitable elixir for daily consumption.
Zhiyuan has taken the Tree Heart Jade Liquid, he will have a long lifespan, so there's no need to give him the Golden Nectar Pill.
He can refine Jade Liquid Pill; sending a little to express my feelings is enough.
Although Zhiyuan was not skilled in alchemy, he was quite knowledgeable and could tell from the jade-like outer shell of the pill that it was of excellent quality.
A look of delight appeared on his old face. "You made this?"
The old Daoist priest didn't stand on ceremony and immediately took one.
After a while, the Zhiyuan priest Zhiyuan opened his eyes, his face beaming with joy, and said, "Is one hundred taels enough to cover the cost of this elixir that nourishes the body and spirit?"
Zhou Wuji nodded slightly. "More or less."
Of course, this only calculates the cost of the medicinal materials. His labor costs are not included. The Pill Formula itself also costs money.
After calculating, it would only be worthwhile to start refining pills if each pill sold for two hundred taels of silver.
"Two hundred each, that's not bad."
The Zhiyuan Daoist priest calculated. "There are still many wealthy people in Jingyang. One Jade Liquid Pill of this quality every three to five days is enough. All told, the annual cost would only be twenty to thirty thousand taels of silver."
"The richer you are, the more afraid you are of death; this business is worth pursuing."
He has partnerships with money shops in Jingyang City, and he also helps wealthy people with medical treatments and exorcising evil spirits, as well as selling elixirs for strengthening the body and nourishing the spirit.
However, those pills were of low quality and couldn't be sold at a high price.
The Jade Liquid Pill is quite different; even someone with his level of cultivation could clearly feel its extraordinary effects. For ordinary wealthy people, it is an even more precious elixir.
The key is that the medicine has a mild and moderate effect, so it can be taken regularly.
The old man's eyes lit up when he talked about business; he was full of energy and looked much younger.
Zhou Wuji didn't need money much, but he knew that money was still very important.
The Yan Household can't keep giving him medicinal herbs for free; it's more appropriate for them to pay for them.
"Here are twenty for you, 220 each. I don't care how you sell them."
Zhou Wuji said, "If it sells well, I'll go back to Chuyang and refine more—"
He wasn't unaware of the value of the Jade Liquid Pill, but the number of truly wealthy people was limited.
He lacks connections, so selling pills in Chuyang won't be easy. Besides, selling pills is Tianxuan's business.
Su Wuyi is a master alchemist at Tianxuan, and a large portion of the Jade Liquid Pill she refines will inevitably flow into Chuyang. He shouldn't compete with Tianxuan for this business, nor is it necessary for him to.
It's good that it can be sold in Jingyang. Anyway, the Jingyang Upper Court can't refine Jade Liquid Pill.
After leaving Flying Profound Hall, Zhou Wuji went to the Upright Heart Hall and secretly paid his respects to True Person Zhiyun, offering him ten Five-Transformation Golden Nectar Pill.
Ordinary five-stage pills are not too precious, but Five-Transformation Golden Nectar Pill are quite rare. After all, the root of Dragon Saliva Grass is extremely rare.
True Person Zhiyun opened the box, picked up a Golden Nectar Pill, and examined it. " Golden Nectar Pill?"
" True Person excellent eyesight." Zhou Wuji was also a little surprised. This old Daoist had really good eyesight; he could tell it was Golden Nectar Pill without even taking it.
Of course, there was a hint of flattery in his tone.
The abbot was not related to him by blood, but he recognized his talent and was willing to pass on his ordination and monastic vows to him.
The transmission of ordination and the bestowal of talismans are not difficult, but compared with the True Person of the Upper Court, the magnanimity True Person Zhiyun are quite different.
Admirable.
"Thank you for your True Person Zhiyun smiled slightly. He had suffered serious injuries, and his body and spirit were permanently damaged. These external pills were only slightly better than nothing to him.
What mattered most was Zhou Wuji's kind intentions, which made him very gratified.
The True Person Zhiyun asked, " Zhou Zhiyi is narrow-minded, lacks virtue and talent, and is old and stubborn. He is not worth worrying about."
"But since this person is the sect leader's nephew, you shouldn't confront him directly."
"Let it drag on for a few years, until you become the True Disciple. Then people like Zhou Zhiyi will be no threat."
The news of the Seven Star Consecutive Battles shocked the Northern Pole Sect, Jingyang Upper Court also heard the news.
True Person Zhiyun thought highly of Zhou Wuji, but fearing his youthful impetuosity, he always had to give him some advice.
"Yes, I've remembered True Person you said." Zhou Wuji knew this was a compliment and bowed in agreement.
True Person Zhiyun asked a few more questions about the sect leader's situation, and Zhou Wuji answered honestly.
He was still somewhat reserved in front of this abbot. It was similar to his feeling when facing the sect leader—he couldn't see through him, couldn't understand him.
After leaving the Upright Heart Hall, Zhou Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, as he still felt a lot of pressure facing the True Person Zhiyun.
Back at the Yuheng Hall, True Person Zhihua was still lying on the long couch. This True Person seemed to have nothing to do all day and just liked to laze around.
Zhou Wuji felt that True Person Zhihua was a bit like a cat in this respect. He was a loner and very mysterious, and he looked down on everyone. He also liked to curl up in a ball on weekdays.
True Person Zhihua looked at the wooden box Zhou Wuji handed her, and accepted it with a smile, "You've gotten a benefit, so you remember to give a gift now. You won't act until you see the profit—"
She casually opened the wooden box, inside which were ten Rank Six-Transformation Golden Nectar Pill and ten Rank Five-Transformation Jade Liquid Pill.
To give as a gift, Zhou Wuji went to great lengths, even bringing out his Six-Transformation Golden Nectar Pill.
The main reason was that True Person Zhihua had treated him so well that he felt bad if he didn't shed some blood.
The sixth-stage elixir had its outer shell completely jade-like.
True Person Zhihua lacked the discernment of True Person Zhiyun, given their vastly different ages and experiences.
She casually asked, "What kind of pill is this?"
"The Five-Turn Jade Liquid and the Six-Turn Golden Elixir are both pills I refined," Zhou Wuji said. "Please, True Person Immortal, take a look."
True Person Zhihua was quite pleased. "Not bad, at least we've recouped some of our losses. I won't stand on ceremony then—"
She pointed to the chair next to her and asked Zhou Wuji to sit down, "You've come back just in time. A couple of days ago, Xie Lingyun sent a message saying that he recently discovered traces of Yin Yang Dao Devil Cultivator and asked me to go and help."
"Your good friend, why don't you go there?"
Zhou Wuji nodded in agreement. Going to Yue Ridge to see Xie Lingyun would be good; if they could kill a few barbarians and Devil Cultivator, that would be even better.
