Genuine, Top-Grade Shoemaking Material

Zhang Xuezhou felt that what he had experienced was nothing short of agonizing.

But compared to unlucky guys like Li Shaojun, he felt much better.

In any case, Zhang Xuezhou has finally broken free from the clutches of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon and is now singing songs of triumph, while Li Shaojun is still struggling, bound to 'Bai'.

Zhang Xuezhou was laughing at someone who was only fifty paces ahead, while Li Shaojun was truly a hundred paces ahead.

Given Li Shaojun's limited abilities, and considering the actions of the two leaders of the Western Sect in dealing with 'Bai,' Zhang Xuezhou felt that Li Shaojun's situation was more difficult than his own escape from the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, and it was almost impossible for him to get rid of the trouble on his own.

Zhang Xuezhou lived in a daze for eighteen years, and then fought back for more than sixteen years before finally ending up in his current state of anxiety and uncertainty.

If what Li Shaojun said is true, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Li Shaojun's situation was somewhat precarious.

"Grandpa Dongfang, you must save me!"

Li Shaojun's bones softened extremely quickly.

He was still secretly developing his power outside, but in the blink of an eye, his backer collapsed.

"Bai said back then that if he was alright, I could do whatever I wanted, but if something happened to him, I'd die a horrible death," Li Shaojun shouted. "He said that to prevent me from causing trouble for him. He absolutely cannot die so easily; we have to rescue him!"

"Then you're finished!"

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at Li Shaojun.

Even the life-or-death decision between Zhang Xuezhou and the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon didn't come with so many additional conditions, but Li Shaojun's situation is far more complicated and troublesome.

Zhang Xuezhou thought that with Bai dead, Li Shaojun would be free, but he never expected that Li Shaojun would be buried with him.

He was waiting for the two cult leaders to kill 'Bai' easily; he had little ability to rescue 'Bai'.

"Are you saying I can only wait to die?" Li Shaojun asked, his face pale.

"I can't use any Law Power at all right now, and there might be something wrong with my body internally," Zhang Xuezhou said. "I really can't help you!"

Zhang Xuezhou pointed to his uncoordinated body, indicating that he was currently a useless person. Without the staff, he could only ambush cultivators below the Divine Ability Realm and couldn't do anything else important.

"As long as you can save me, I'll do whatever you say," Li Shaojun said, patting his chest. "You and I, brothers, can definitely work together to overcome this difficult time!"

"Since you trust me so much, why don't you go to Fengxize and verify it?"

Zhang Xuezhou scoffed, and Li Shaojun didn't seem to care about losing face.

At this moment, he dared not rush to Fengxize. If he didn't go there, he could pretend to be deaf and dumb for a while, but if he went there, he might be summoned by 'Bai' and thus have to embark on the journey of rescue.

He's stalling for time as much as possible; if he can't delay any longer, he'll need Zhang Xuezhou's assistance to increase his chances of survival.

Compared to running around aimlessly like a headless fly, Zhang Xuezhou's casual advice would definitely save him from taking detours.

"Uncle Dongfang, just tell me plainly what we need to do with that Venerable Lei?" Li Shaojun pleaded.

"I want Lei Ming to go to the secret place of Dongtianmen to steal the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root," Zhang Xuezhou whispered.

"The Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root is... are you going to use this treasure to make Law Treasure shoes?" Li Shaojun asked in a low voice.

"Law Treasure shoes? What kind of shoes?" Zhang Xuezhou asked curiously.

"Lotus Silk Cloud-Walking Shoes, top-tier Law Treasure shoes. These shoes allow one to tread through clouds as if walking on flat ground!"

Li Shaojun looked pained, then rummaged through his pouch and pulled out a pair of yellowish silk embroidered shoes.

If you want to use lotus roots to make shoes, I'll just give you two!

Li Shaojun only thought about the complicated steps of obtaining spiritual objects to make shoes, and he felt that it would be better to just bleed himself to satisfy Zhang Xuezhou's desires.

He even suspected that Zhang Xuezhou might know the details of his inheritance of some Daoist School treasures and was trying to obtain them indirectly.

"Is the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root used to make shoes?"

Zhang Xuezhou touched the shoes that Li Shaojun had taken out.

When he pulled on the sole of the shoe, it stretched out by a considerable length, and he began to understand why the lotus root threads of the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root were so long and difficult to chew.

"Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root is a genuine, top-grade material for shoemaking," Li Shaojun nodded. "It can also be used to make clothing, but the function of clothing overlaps with that of shoes, and it doesn't offer much protection. Plus, the material consumption is extremely high. The normal use is for shoe soles!"

"A shoemaker!"

Zhang Xuezhou muttered something under his breath, then glanced at the lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes that Li Shaojun had taken out.

Zhang Xuezhou could tough it out by chewing on the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root, but he had no interest in chewing on shoes, and he was also not lacking in Law Treasure to aid his flight.

"Then we still need to send Lei Ming to steal the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root," Zhang Xuezhou pondered. "You tell him it's an important ingredient for making the Longevity Elixir. No matter what he thinks, you have to make up a reason to convince him it's for making medicine!"

"Do you really intend to use the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root to make medicine?" Li Shaojun asked curiously.

"I really want to!"

"Can't you think of anything reasonable? My ancestor said that the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root can't be used to make medicine!"

"Can't we still work together to overcome this difficult time?!"

Zhang Xuezhou muttered something, and Li Shaojun had no choice but to give up the idea of persuading him, instead starting to rack his brains about how to convince Venerable Lei.

Zhang Xuezhou lacked knowledge of top-tier materials in the Three Realms, but Venerable Lei couldn't be that ignorant, which gave Li Shaojun a headache.

As the name suggests, the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root is used to extract spirit silk.

Not to mention that you don't need the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root to make Longevity Pills, you don't need this material to make any other pills, since it's not a material for major medicines at all.

If the Ling Si Jade Lotus Root could be used in medicine, Li Shaojun would rather believe that he could boil a piece of wood to make a medicinal soup.

"Leave it to me," Li Shaojun finally agreed.

"Alright, then it's up to you. Go walk around the city gates of Chang'an City, and they'll come to you on their own. Then you can get this first thing sorted out," Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

"I'll be right back!"

Li Shaojun got up sullenly. He had come here showing off and looking happy, but when he left, he looked preoccupied.

"Cousin, keep a close eye on Yi Shuo tomorrow and see if he can find a suitable wife for me. We'll contribute financially as needed. If she asks for pills, I'll supply any pills below the Divine Ability Realm directly, and then take her to A Qiao so she can give her a good 'training'!"

"OK!"

Rong Tianding readily agreed, but couldn't help asking another question out of curiosity.

"Cousin, aren't you going home to see your aunt, uncle, and children?" Rong Tianding asked.

"I don't look right like this... my child?"

"Ah Qiao often sends her child over to stay for a couple of days, and she came again today!"

Zhang Xuezhou touched his face, feeling that his life was a mess. Fortunately, the people around him were all quite nice, even A Qiao, whom he met later in life, didn't cause any trouble.

"Let's talk about it in a couple of days!"

Zhang Xuezhou finally waved his hand, not wanting to see his child looking like this.

Although Zhang Xuezhou kept comforting himself with the idea that the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Body Control and believed that the child actually belonged to the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, when the sound of the child crying came from the Zhang residence in the middle of the night, his heart inexplicably twitched.
