Sitting on a Mountain of Treasure

Zhou Changqing's actions, however, served as a reminder to Yin Yunze.

Yin Yunze took out two more teacups and poured two cups of water into each.

Yin Yunze swept his hands over the two glasses of water, adding a trace of Power of Lightning and a minimal amount of Heal Wounds and Cure Illness to each.

After performing this slight manipulation, Yin Yunze handed the purified water, infused with the Power of Lightning, to Zhou Changqing.

"Lord Zhou, please drink this cup to the last drop!"

After thinking for a moment, Yin Yunze smiled and added, "If possible, it's best to drink it all in one gulp."

Yin Yunze tampered with the purified water in front of Zhou Changqing.

However, Yin Yunze's overly frank demeanor made it difficult for Zhou Changqing to suspect anything.

"Yes!"

He gave a soft reply, but looking at the glass of water that seemed exactly the same as before, Zhou Changqing suddenly felt a sense of unease.

After a slight hesitation, Zhou Changqing still chose to trust Yin Yunze, gritted his teeth, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Ah, ah----"

Then, the next moment, Zhou Changqing seemed to be electrocuted, and his whole body began to convulse uncontrollably.

Even some stray hairs at her temples floated up.

Furthermore, a wisp of black mist visibly emanated from Zhou Changqing's body, as if his entire body were on fire.

"Father!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hongxia was greatly surprised and quickly looked at Yin Yunze, asking, "Your Highness! What did my father do wrong—?"

"Xia'er, don't be rude!"

However, Zhou Changqing, who had recovered by this time, spoke first, "The county princess means well."

Looking at the ominous black aura before him, Yin Yunze waved his hand, dispelling it with a trace of Power of Lightning.

Looking at Zhou Changqing, Yin Yunze couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

In any case, Zhou Changqing has clearly encountered many tough battles against demons and evil spirits.

"Lord Zhou, how are you feeling?"

"----That felt great!" Zhou Changqing exhaled, then looked at Yin Yunze with a hint of helplessness and said, "If you could give me a more specific reminder, that would be even better----"

Looking at Yin Yunze, Zhou Changqing was speechless.

The Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens standing before me had previously described another Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens as unruly.

But she was being so serious right now, and then suddenly she pulled this stunt—

The purifying lightning that suddenly exploded within his body, though not particularly powerful, caused an extremely unpleasant sensation—

If Zhou Changqing hadn't been a seasoned veteran, he might have been humiliated by that cup of Lightning Purified Water.

Sure enough, even if she was Innate Holy Spirit, she was still a vixen.

This cunning, inherent to a vixen's nature, is not so easily changed.

"Hehe."

Yin Yunze smiled and pretended not to hear.

If Zhou Changqing had been reminded that she had added Power of Lightning to the first cup, then we wouldn't have seen such an interesting scene.

Smiling, Yin Yunze then picked up the second cup and offered it to Zhou Changqing: "Well then, Lord Zhou, please try this one. This one can be sipped slowly; it won't be as strong as the previous one."

Hearing Yin Yunze say that, Zhou Changqing didn't hesitate much and accepted the glass of water.

Although it was a bit stimulating just now, it was truly effective.

Moreover, although Yin Yunze liked to make harmless jokes, Zhou Changqing still perceived him as a very upright and Orthodox God.

However, Zhou Changqing was somewhat traumatized by the extremely intense Lightning Purified Water just now.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided not to drink it slowly as Yin Yunze had suggested, but instead drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking the glass of water, the commotion subsided.

There was still some black energy dissipating, but Zhou Changqing's face showed a hint of relief.

Close your eyes and savor the purifying and healing effects that are working within your body.

Zhou Changqing looked at Yin Yunze and sighed softly, "I regret not listening to the county princess's advice. I should have savored this cup more carefully!"

"County Princess----"

Upon hearing Zhou Changqing's words, Zhou Hongxia quickly added, "Could I have a cup to try too?"

I glanced over and saw that Zhou Hongxia had already devoured two plates of pastries in front of her.

Yin Yunze shook his head helplessly, then smiled and poured Zhou Hongxia a glass of water with added Heal Wounds and Cure Illness water.

Having learned from Zhou Changqing's experience, Zhou Hongxia took a small sip of tea first.

Although the water had no taste, Zhou Hongxia felt a warm sensation as it flowed down her throat and into her stomach, a feeling more comfortable than any fine wine.

Like a little hamster, Zhou Hongxia squinted her eyes slightly and began to savor the cup of Healing Purified Water.

Instead of focusing too much on Zhou Hongxia, Yin Yunze turned to Zhou Changqing and asked softly, "Lord Zhou, what do you think is the value of these few cups of water I have?"

"The county princess's purified water has countless uses; it can exorcise demons, ward off evil spirits, and even heal injuries—truly a superior product—"

After offering a slight compliment, Zhou Changqing pondered for a moment and said, "If it's that initial cup of pure water, the Supernatural Pursuit Bureau also possesses a similar Law Technique, but it can't have both—but since there's only one, it can't be used for two purposes simultaneously, so it's probably worth two to three taels of silver—"

The second cup contains extremely pure Power of Lightning. However, it's more suitable for combat than drinking, and would probably be worth five taels of silver. As for the last cup, it not only has the power to dispel evil and purify, but also healing abilities, and would probably be worth eight taels of silver—"

Upon hearing Zhou Changqing's offer, Yin Yunze was slightly taken aback.

Goodness, this thing is worth so much?

How much can a single large gulp of this cup cost in taels of silver?

Yin Yunze is truly living a life of luxury without realizing it.

Unlike the nectar, whose daily output is measured in drops, this purified water was produced in kilograms from the very beginning.

Furthermore, Yin Yunze continued to distribute them to the young witches, who then used them on believers in various places.

The production of this purified water has increased with the expansion of Yin Yunze's territory and the number of his followers, and now it can produce over a hundred catties a day.

If the concept of being able to hold water from all over the world hadn't already begun to take shape, Yin Yunze would probably be having a headache figuring out how to contain all this pure water.

And then you tell me these things are valuable?

However, after careful consideration, Yin Yunze realized it was indeed true.

Although the output of purified water is large, it is still, after all, a product of the Prefecture God treasure of Yin Yunze.

To put it bluntly, you could pluck a single hair from Yin Yunze and put it up for auction right now.

Putting aside other aspects, just considering its functionality alone, it's probably worth a lot of money.

After all, once something extraordinary is involved, its value cannot be measured by ordinary, mundane standards.

Putting everything else aside, a glass of clean water is more than enough to deal with some ordinary evil spirits.

If this evil spirit appeared in a wealthy person's home, how much do you think that person would pay to have it exorcised?

It can only be said that Yin Yunze is now in a position that is too high, and he can no longer see the true value of what he possesses.

Previously, Yin Yunze had never thought of the use of purified water, but now, a big buyer has just come to Yin Yunze's doorstep.

As a national-level agency, the Supernatural Pursuit Bureau should have a staff of several thousand to tens of thousands.

In this way, Yin Yunze will have a place to use the clean water he produces every day.

Looking at Zhou Changqing, Yin Yunze noticed that Zhou Changqing's gaze was somewhat flickering.

Thinking about the water purification issue, which was brought up by Zhou Changqing himself, Yin Yunze immediately understood what was going on.

As expected, Yin Yunze underestimated the Supernatural Pursuit Bureau.

Zhou Changqing and his two companions were indeed the first group of people sent down by the Supernatural Pursuit Bureau on the surface.

However, it is unknown whether any members of the Hearsay Guard gathered the intelligence came down to investigate in disguise.

Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder that Yin Yunze was able to be demoted to the rank of third-grade county princess so easily, especially since he was delivered in advance by the Supernatural Pursuit Bureau.

Yin Yunze thought he had hidden it well, but now he realizes that the information was probably already on the big boss's desk.

Looking at Zhou Changqing, Yin Yunze couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

Wow, I never knew you were an award-winning actor!

After thinking for a moment, Yin Yunze simply laid it all out and said, "Lord Zhou, could it be that your Supernatural Pursuit Bureau is also interested in this purified water?"

"With such wonderful uses, the Azure Heavens Purifying Water is naturally of interest to the Supernatural Pursuit Bureau."

Looking directly into Yin Yunze's eyes, Zhou Changqing said softly, "However, what I just quoted was the market price. If the county magistrate intends to sell it to the Supernatural Pursuit Bureau —of course, the county magistrate is free to choose what price she wants. But I have no right to decide; I can only quote the price on her behalf—"

Yin Yunze was not surprised by this.

Market prices are one thing, but for large-scale purchases by official institutions, the prices must be wholesale prices, or even ex-factory prices.

I roughly estimated that this cup of water contained about thirty grams.

In other words, one pound of clean water is equivalent to nearly a dozen cups, and should be worth close to fifty ounces.

Lightning Purified Water costs seventy or eighty taels, while Healing Purified Water costs nearly one hundred taels.

After doing the math, Yin Yunze realized that she could earn tens of thousands of taels of silver a day just from cleaning water, with a little extra effort.

Sure enough, once you truly reach the extraordinary level, making money becomes quite simple.

"Lord Zhou, I'll give you a price. Do you think it's reasonable?"

After a moment's thought, Yin Yunze looked at Zhou Changqing and said softly, "Ordinary purified water, five taels of silver. Lightning Purified Water, ten taels of silver. Healing Purified Water, twenty taels of silver. If we settle in gold, I can give you a 10% discount."

"Your Highness, your price—"

Upon hearing Yin Yunze's offer, Zhou Changqing frowned.

Could it be that he didn't explain things clearly, causing Yin Yunze to misunderstand?

Why are the prices going up and up?!

What's wrong with my price?

Looking at Zhou Changqing, Yin Yunze feigned surprise and said, "Five taels of silver a pound is still expensive? I'm offering the lowest price!"

"Hmm? One pound?"

Zhou Changqing was taken aback upon hearing this.

Looking at Zhou Changqing, Yin Yunze feigned curiosity and smiled slightly, "Could it be that Lord Zhou doesn't buy things by weight?"

"Yes, yes, yes! We sell them by weight!" Zhou Changqing immediately realized and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Selling by weight is good!"

They should be sold by weight! You are so righteous, County Head! I will definitely have the Commander inform the Chief Administrator!
