Needs

"Impressive skills. You're quite capable, so why haven't you managed to secure an official position in Chang'an City?"

Chen Zhang's wound healed, and Qu Nihou removed the bandages, cut away the rotten flesh, and then asked Zhang Xuezhou for medical treatment.

As the pain subsided and the wounds began to heal, Qu Nihou felt a sense of comfort throughout his body, as if his stubborn ailment had been removed.

He gestured to his servant to fetch another ten taels of silver, and then asked Zhang Xuezhou for his opinion.

"We've always wanted to get some kind of official position in the imperial court, and I also want to buy a house in Chang'an City," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Oh?" Qu Nihou asked suspiciously, "You've had a lot of trouble getting an official position?"

"Our backing has recently collapsed, so we can't make any recommendations," Zhang Xuezhou nodded and said. "Now we can only wait for His Majesty to widely recruit talented people from all over the country, and see if we can get a minor official position!"

"You still have a powerful backer?" Qu Nihou asked in surprise, "And that backer has fallen?"

"The court has been promoting people lately, so there aren't many people falling from grace, are there?" Chen Zhang interjected.

"No," Marquis Qu Ni shook his head and said, "The imperial court has not recently sent any officials to other regions!"

"Our backer is Master Dong, who was just expelled from Chang'an City yesterday," Zhang Xuezhou reminded him.

"Master Dong... Dong Zhongshu?"

Zhang Xuezhou's Technique Method were indeed quite good. Qu Nihou had just begun to consider recommending him, but upon hearing about Zhang Xuezhou's powerful backer, he quickly put the idea aside.

While his marquisate was indeed a high rank, he was backed by the imperial court and was merely a part of it. The Confucian School school, on the other hand, was a vast organization, and even one that His Majesty was preparing to heavily rely on.

The story of Shen Peigong and Dong Zhongshu had been circulating among the high-ranking officials for more than half a month, and Qu Nihou was well aware of the grudges involved.

Shen Peigong attacked what he needed to avoid. If Shen Peigong ousted Dong Zhongshu and then brought Dong Zhongshu's people back up, it would undoubtedly be going against the entire Confucian School group led by Shen Peigong.

Qu Nihou's thoughts came quickly and faded just as fast.

"Once Master Dong returns to Chang'an City, you'll surely rise to a high position!"

Qu Nihou left behind a single sentence, then rose and strode out of the guesthouse.

Chen Zhang looked up at the second floor several times, and only when he saw no sign of Wei Shao'er opening the door or coming downstairs did he follow her up, step by step.

"This marquis is quite astute!"

Zhang Xuezhou watched as Qu Nihou and Chen Zhang left the guesthouse before putting the two silver ingots on the table into his sleeve.

Qu Nihou was different from ordinary patients seeking treatment. The other party was not only verifying his medical skills, but also the origin of his Technique Method.

It wasn't until Zhang Xuezhou brought up the unfortunate Dong Zhongshu that Qu Nihou quickly calmed down.

Confucian School's Technique Method are broad and extensive. He mentioned that Dong Zhongshu was a powerful figure who found an excuse for the origin of his Technique Method, and Dong Zhongshu's situation also prevented Qu Nihou from interfering.

In Chang'an City right now, whoever helps Dong Zhongshu is going against Shen Peigong.

Everyone knows that the Confucian School school has a large number of members, which will inevitably lead to the removal of some from power.

If the Confucian School were to seize upon any wrongdoing, even a treacherous marquis would have to abandon several relationships and might even face continuous suppression.

He withdrew very quickly, stopping the relationship from being a transaction of money and Technique Method, and no longer thinking of binding Zhang Xuezhou, a medical Technique Method talent.

The carriage drove away with a slight creak of its axle, and the entire inn seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Some people even dared to peek out to watch.

"Cousin, it seems we have some patients here!"

Rong Tianding cried out softly from the second floor, and immediately cries of "Ouch!" "Help!" "Someone's being killed!" echoed out.

"The Marquis cleared the place, and there were some outsiders who didn't have any eyesight, so they all got slapped!"

It wasn't until the innkeeper explained that Zhang Xuezhou learned what had happened at the inn before.

"Who would have thought a marquis from the imperial court would come to a place like this? Can anyone give me some medicine? My buttocks are raw from being beaten!"

"Those Zhang Long and Zhao Hu are really vicious. I just said, 'Stop pretending,' and they attacked me so ruthlessly!"

"I never imagined that my True Spirit Realm strength, which I've used to roam the martial world, would be so insignificant in their eyes. Does anyone have any hemostatic powder to help me in this emergency?"

The innkeeper offered an explanation, and several people in the guesthouse were making noises after Qu Nihou left.

Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but shake his head.

Having received twenty taels of silver, he no longer cared so much about small sums of money.

Moreover, these Jianghu people had no protection and were punished by Qu Nihou, so it was difficult to do business in treating them.

He cast the Supreme Purity True Technique on Qu Nihou sixteen times in succession, and at this time he did not do any hard work or anything that might offend people.

After asking the innkeeper for meat, Zhang Xuezhou carried half a pound of beef upstairs to the second floor.

Why haven't they left yet?

When Rong Tianding opened the door to the side room, Zhang Xuezhou saw Wei Shao'er still sitting in the room.

It was already night, and Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel a headache coming on when he thought about Wei Shao'er's domineering behavior.

"This woman knocked me down, stripped me of my clothes, and examined me for a while. Then she asked me some questions and started crying until that marquis came over. She didn't stop until then," Rong Tianding explained briefly.

"Lord Qu has already gone far away," Zhang Xuezhou reminded him. "There's no danger of being discovered now, you can go downstairs!"

Do you think there's any hope for me?

Wei Shao'er raised her head, her face still streaked with tears, and asked Zhang Xuezhou with a grim expression.

Zhang Xuezhou has already resolved the drawbacks of Rong Tianding ingesting the Essence Blood of the Ancestral Dragon. The other party is clearly aware of the problem and should also know how to resolve her physical troubles.

However, even knowing the solution, achieving the necessary conditions would be incredibly difficult, leaving Wei Shao'er feeling hopeless.

Rong Tianding is a minor cultivator in the Meridian Circulation Realm, while she is a cultivator in the Body Transformation Realm. The two are separated by four major realms, and their corresponding needs for pills are completely different.

According to Rong Tianding's explanation, she needed to prepare at least ten Qi and Blood Pill for the Body Transformation Realm, which she would need to take if she felt anything was wrong with her body.

Taking the Qi and Blood Pill would produce extremely strong physical stimulation, which could lead to uterine bleeding and other side effects, but the most important thing is that Wei Shao'er is completely unable to withstand such a huge demand for the pill.

This was a high-quality elixir that brought her to the brink of despair.

"I can only help you stop the bleeding!"

Zhang Xuezhou paused for a moment, then gestured to indicate what he could do.

The powerful hemostasis brought Wei Shao'er a certain amount of food needs, but the other party's huge demand for Qi and Blood was more due to Demon Power. This Demon Power would continue to increase until meat could no longer meet the demand, thus requiring the use of pills to get through it.

The Qi and Blood Pill that Wei Shao'er needs are similar in quality to the potent Spirit Spirit-Forging Pill he used when breaking through to the Consciousness Creation Realm in the Xieluosi River Holy Land.

It was Zou Bugui's personal intervention and the full cooperation of demon kings like Yangli that Zhang Xuezhou was able to easily break through to the next realm by consuming several potent Spirit-Forging Pill.

However, this is a condition that is difficult for ordinary cultivators to achieve, and even some Sacred Land rarely have such luxury.

It must be said that Zhang Xuezhou put in a lot of effort and spent a lot of money on his cultivation, the resources of which were beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.

This is something that is difficult for current children to accomplish.

"I think she can continue to seduce rich and powerful fools," Rong Tianding said. "If even one fool can give her a large pill, she only needs to seduce a dozen or so big fools to satisfy her needs!"

"Great suggestion, cousin!"

Zhang Xuezhou gave a thumbs-up.

This made Wei Shao'er stare at Rong Tianding for several seconds, forcefully suppressing the urge to hit him.

There aren't that many fools in the world, especially not fools who need to cultivate to the level of Wei Shao'er.

Few people at a lower cultivation level would prepare a lot of pills that are only needed at a higher cultivation level.

Only someone at her level of cultivation would need, and possibly possess, pills of that level.
