Chapter 293 Minister of Logistics

anyone experienced with judging by the glow could easily see through him and realize he was only at the Chasm Rank! No wonder they hadn’t even glanced at him!Breaking past the Spirit Condensation sta...Chapter 293: Minister of Logistics

"Hm" Xie Yujia didn't react and stared at him blankly.

"I said, teach me the technique you use for alchemy!" Junior Monarch Zhen repeated.

Xie Yujia was startled by his words but had no idea how to respond.

"How can a cultivation technique be taught隨便" Hao Ren stepped between Xie Yujia and Junior Monarch Zhen, addressing the latter.

"I'll just learn it for now. I won't teach it to others," Junior Monarch Zhen continued staring at Xie Yujia.

What he hated most was when his master made him study alchemy. Despite being a quick learner with strong insights, even at this level, he could refine Ninth Rank Immortal Pills. But all the refining required several days and nights without rest, not to mention Ninth Rank Golden Pills which needed a month of nonstop guarding! Thus, he preferred crafting treasures over making pills; the former would take no more than three days and nights, mainly arranging arrays in containers—a task of mental labor—while alchemy was pure physical labor for him.

But if he could learn Xie Yujia's technique...

"Master said this cultivation method cannot be taught to others," Xie Yujia stood her ground, saying.

"Who is your master Have him come to the Dragon Palace and find me!" Junior Monarch Zhen immediately declared.

"My master..." Xie Yujia hesitated for a second. "Doesn't see outsiders."

"Is there anyone in this world I can't meet" Junior Monarch Zhen became arrogant, saying, "Alright! I'll pay him a visit personally and see if he teaches me!"

He waved at Xie Yujia after finishing his words. "Okay, get out now! I'm going to craft treasure. I'll find you later!"

Xie Yujia looked at this capricious kid with無奈.

"Let's go then," Zhao Guang led everyone out of the alchemy room.

"Snow Lion, stay here!" Junior Monarch Zhen suddenly said from inside the alchemy room.

Little White turned around and looked at Junior Monarch Zhen in puzzlement.

"What are you staring at It's you I want!" Junior Monarch Zhen pointed at Little White, "Stay here to keep me company!"

"It is my spirit beast," Hao Ren told Junior Monarch Zhen.

"Spirit beast or not, it’s my little brother! Ask him if he wants to hang out with me for two days" Junior Monarch Zhen said as he pulled another bottle from his sleeve and sprinkled dozens of light blue spiritual pills on the ground.

Little White looked at Hao Ren with expectant eyes full of water, then turned around and ran towards Junior Monarch Zhen in the alchemy room.

Damn it! You rotten dog!

Hao Ren almost let out a curse.

"Don’t worry, I’ll just keep it for one or two days. When the time comes, I will use it to find you guys." Zhen Tongsun took out a silver conch-shaped treasure from his sleeve and threw it into the alchemy furnace, speaking calmly.

Seeing Little White panting beside Zhen Tongsun, Hao Ren was so angry that he couldn’t speak. He could only turn around and leave.

Just as Hao Ren and company were heading towards the first floor of the Divine Treasure Hall, a vicious expression suddenly appeared on Zhen Tongsun’s face while he was sitting in the alchemy room.

The treasure conch that he planned to officially refine today had been named “Heaven Piercing Sea Shell of Obliteration and Annihilation—No Escape from Life or Death.”

His master would be meditating for five hundred years in the Nine Dragons Palace, so during this period of time, even if he destroyed the Western Dragon Palace one hundred times, it wouldn’t matter!

If the sea shell unleashed its maximum power, it could demolish the Western Dragon Palace directly!

There was no one who dared to bully Zhen Tongsun in this world. Even before his surrender, he walked around the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons as he pleased!

Dare you bully me, Zhen Tongsun I’ll show you what happens in the Western Ocean.

Zhen Tongsun’s hands moved swiftly, and he cast in the first absorption spirit formation!

He planned to install 99 formations with power that would build up layer by layer for this ultra-heavy attack treasure. He wouldn’t mind spending three days and nights even if it cost him that much time.

When they returned to the grand hall of the Divine Treasure Hall, Xie Yujia immediately handed the bottle over to Su Han.

Su Han took out a pill from inside the bottle and placed it in Xie Yujia’s palm. "Since you worked hard to refine these pills for us, this one is yours."

Xie Yujia wanted to decline, but Su Han curled up her hand and handed another two pills to Zhao Yanzi.

Holding the two fiery-red pills, Zhao Yanzi was surprised. "I have them too"

"One is for your mother, and one is reserved for you in the future." Su Han nodded as he said this.

“What if I take it now…” Zhao Yanzi asked.

“Then you’ll forever remain like this,” Su Han replied.

Hearing such a response, Zhao Yanzi quickly put the pills away. She was still in her budding stage, and though she was youthful and beautiful, she had yet to reach her most stunning phase.

“I have one left for myself,” Su Han said with a smile.

No woman loved ugliness, not even Su Han could escape this. Devoted as she was to cultivation, the effort she put into the age-retaining pill was all about preserving her beauty.

Now, she is at the most mature and beautiful age. If she were to take the Dingyan Pill (Face-Setting Pill), she wouldn’t need to waste mana or rely on large amounts of elixirs to maintain her beauty, allowing her to focus more on cultivation to achieve her dream realm of Heavenly Dragon.

"Let's go back," Zhao Guang said.

"Farewell, King Long!" Chancellor Xia and Elder StarMoon bowed respectively.

Zhao Guang led Zhao Yanzǐ and the other three out of the Dragon Palace. By the time they returned to their land home in a car, it was already past midnight.

"It's too late. If you don't mind, you can stay at our place," Zhao Guang parked his car in the garage and said to Xie Yujia.

"Then... I'll trouble you," Xie Yujia slightly lowered her head.

She clutched that Face-Setting Pill tightly as she leaned closer to Hao Ren.

Zhao Yanzǐ pouted, but her resistance wasn’t as fierce as before. She also felt a bit envious of Xie Yujia’s alchemy skills, thinking that if she trained with her and could become so powerful, there was no need for them to be at odds right now.

Zhao Guang led the three of them into their house. After considering it, he said, "I’ll have Ah Ren sleep in the living room tonight, while Miss Xie will stay in the empty room upstairs."

"Okay!" Hao Ren readily agreed.

Zhao Guang led Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzǐ up to the second floor. He soon brought a thick blanket for Hao Ren.

"Thank you, Uncle!" Hao Ren held the blanket respectfully.

"Ah Ren, I have something important that I want to talk to you about," Zhao Guang didn’t leave immediately but stayed in the living room, looking at Hao Ren seriously.

"Uncle, please speak your mind," Hao Ren stood straight and was a little nervous when he saw Zhao Guang’s serious expression.

Zhao Guang looked at Hao Ren and slowly said, "Ah Zǐ must come first."

"First..." Hao Ren didn’t quite understand.

On the second floor, Zhao Hongyu suddenly cheered.

Clearly, Zhao Yanzǐ had shown her a treasure. A woman like Zhao Hongyu would definitely care about her appearance as well.

"What I mean is that no matter what happens in the future, you can’t mistreat Ah Zǐ. This is my principle," Zhao Guang continued to say.

"Alright..." Hao Ren understood somewhat but was still a little confused, yet he agreed.

"Secondly, even though the West Sea has returned, it doesn’t mean that our danger has been eliminated. Our Dong Hai Dragon Palace currently has the weakest average strength among the four dragon palaces in terms of elders. With Master Qiong not present in Dong Hai Dragon Palace and Zhao Kuo traveling around, and with the divine elixirs taken out from the Nine Dragons Palace unable to be consumed casually, our situation is still very tense."

"Uncle’s meaning...

"Our Eastern Sea Dragon Palace is rich in materials, but we lack mature alchemists. There's a shortage of spirit pills above the fifth grade, and many elders are stuck at the Exchanged Rank level. Now that the West Sea has sent us several pieces of玄冰, it's a perfect opportunity for collective breakthroughs at the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace. If there were enough medicinal supplements..."

"What you mean is to ask Xie Yujia to help with pill-making" Hao Ren asked directly.

Zhao Guang's face froze for a moment, then he quickly added, "Of course, it's not without compensation..."

"Shouldn't be a problem, Yujia is very enthusiastic." Hao Ren replied. Suddenly, he felt uneasy and hurriedly said again, "But Uncle should ask her opinion first."

"Alright, I'll go ask her. The last thing is about Zhen Tongzi. Actually, Zhen Tongzi has always wanted to come ashore to see the world. This time, he will definitely use your reason to officially come to the city. You must have noticed that he's very good at causing trouble. I will temporarily arrange him in Lu Qing’s place, but Lu Qing might not be able to control him, so I still need your help to take care of him."

"Me" Hao Ren pointed at himself in surprise.

"Right, only you can rein him in." Zhao Guang nodded steadily.

This wasn't praise at all; it was clearly throwing a hot potato at me… Never mind, since I'm already your son-in-law, I'll take this mess for you...

Hao Ren looked at Zhao Guang and said nothing further.

"Thanks!" Zhao Guang patted Hao Ren's shoulder and walked towards the stairs.

Hao Ren turned around to look at his back figure, deep in thought.

In the second-floor room, Xie Yujia, who couldn't fall asleep, began practicing her Wuxing Life-Death Talisman.

The red box on the bedside table contained the "Face-Fixing Pill," but she kept pondering whether or not to take it.

A wave of spiritual energy gathered from all directions around Donghai City.

Life Talismans can condense the essence of heaven and earth. Practicing this would be like playing! The concentration of spiritual energy in Zhao Yanzǐ's family quickly reached that of the Eighth Layer Heavens!

In the living room downstairs, where Hao Ren was refining the Sword Image Technique, he felt incredibly comfortable as two acupoints were opened without even needing lightning stimulation.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yanzǐ, next door to Xie Yujia, fell asleep while counting sheep and silently exploring The Cultivation Qi Art. Unknowingly, she also reached the third level of the Cultivation Qi Stage!

Only Xie Yujia struggled for a long time but found her spiritual energy completely still at the third level of the Cultivation Qi Stage with only slight progress.

"Sigh... When will I ever catch up to Hao Ren" Xie Yujia sighed in disappointment, then tucked herself into bed after returning the sparkly Life Talisman to her right palm.

Downstairs in the living room, where Hao Ren was practicing his cultivation, he suddenly noticed a sharp drop in spiritual energy concentration. His unconverted spiritual energy even had a tendency to dissipate outward, so he quickly sealed it inside his dragon pearl and ended his practice.

Weird... I've never felt Zhao Yanzǐ's house has such rich spiritual energy before... Hao Ren muttered as he lay on the sofa under a blanket.

Looking at the white chandelier, Hao Ren's thoughts wandered. He wondered if it was possible to refine his Sword Image Technique with as much ease as Xie Yujia did her pills... students of the same college; if she dated Hao Ren, it would only be a matter of the two of them playing around without any interaction with those noisy guys."Hehe, you came too," Xie Ruijia greeted...
