Chapter 52: Shan Qin's plan, Wei Zhong's cultivation
In a pavilion, Shan Qin looked at the movement outside the window and murmured:
"The Qingmu Sect is really thriving. Such a young Jindan master has emerged."
Four women in green stood side by side, and the one on the far left said with a smile:
"But it's just a Jindan from a small place. It's still a little bit inferior to the young masters and young ladies in the state capital."
Shan Qin did not respond, but asked:
"How is the person you were contacted with?"
The first woman in green stood up first. She had a deep aura and her cultivation was at the late stage of foundation building. She said:
“Miss, although Taoist Hu Yang is old, his cultivation is quite good. He has been honing his skills in the late stage of foundation building for many years and his foundation is very solid.
If I could get a Dust Reducing Pill, I could try to form a pill, but whether I could succeed is still a question. The risk is too great, so I need to make the decision, young lady."
Shan Qin nodded: "If he agrees to sign a contract and serve me for a hundred years, I will give him one dust-removing object."
"Mei'er understands."
Shan Qin turned her head:
"Li Lan, how did the contact between the two people from Qingmu Sect go?" Shan Qin looked at the third person.
This person was dressed in green gauze, with delicate features, and every move he made revealed a sense of fragility.
"Miss Rong, I have successfully acquired the recipe of Qingluozui from Master Shen Zhenchuan, as well as the shop that owns this wine.
From now on, Qingluozui will be the signature dish of our Yunji Chamber of Commerce.
As for the alchemist named Qi, he seems to be not interested in the conditions we proposed and has no intention of leaving the sect to join our Chamber of Commerce."
"In that case, then forget it. Next, Guan Zhu."
The third person was wearing a green Taoist robe and had a resolute face. He was not as weak as Li Lan, but had a hint of heroism:
“Thanks to Elder Yan for stopping the two Jindan cultivators, the ones chasing after the Yan family were only a few ignorant foundation-building cultivators. I helped the Yan family and used the formation left by the young lady to stop most of the foundation-building cultivators. Now the Yan family has probably successfully returned with the Dust-Reducing Pill.
Perhaps a new Jindan family will appear in this Mangyuan Prefecture soon."
Shan Qin nodded and asked the last person, "How is the wine-making spirit farmer doing?"
Shan Qin was naturally talking about Wei Zhong. Not only did she know that Wei Zhong created Qingluozui, she also knew all about Wei Zhong's many years of experience as a spiritual farmer.
The fourth woman stepped forward and it was Rong Ju who had talked with Wei Zhong in the restaurant a few days ago.
"Chu Zhong is a cautious person with no big ambitions. He is dissatisfied with Qingmu Sect but dares not to show it.
The first-hand brewing skills have been unable to reach the second level due to the monopoly of the Qingmu Sect. If we can lure him with the inheritance of second-level or even higher-level skills, it is very likely that he will be accepted into the association."
Apparently, the Yunji Chamber of Commerce had not inquired about the private transaction between Wei Zhong and Hu Yang, and they thought that Wei Zhong was holding on to the first-level inheritance.
“That’s right, Rong Ju, you can try to test him again in the future and try to subdue him.
Although Qingluozui is only a first-grade spiritual wine, it is already a good spiritual item for strengthening the body in the current world of immortal cultivation. If I can get a second-grade one, I am confident that I can use it to test the Wang family's body-refining pills."
"Rong Ju understands."
Shan Qin nodded with satisfaction:
"Then Xue Mei, Rong Ju, and Guan Zhu, the three of you will stay with Yan Bo and assist the shopkeeper Ruan who will arrive later to handle the matters of opening a store here, and continue to improve the people and forces you are responsible for.
Li Lan followed me to the nearby Hanzhu City to take a look. I heard that there was a sign of inheritance of the spirit transformation there," said Shan Qin, bowing towards the empty void, "I'll have to trouble Aunt Miao." In an instant, a long, snow-white leg stretched out from the space she was facing, and then a beautiful woman in a cool Taoist robe emerged from it.
There was a foot-long white jade pipe on his waist, and in his hand was a strange blue and white gourd:
"Dan girl, if you have something to say, just tell me. Why bother talking about trouble? As long as there is enough spiritual wine, will your Aunt Miao refuse you?"
While talking, he did not forget to pour himself a glass of wine. The wine spilled and soaked her clothes on her chest, revealing her beautiful figure.
Shan Qin smiled and said, "I know that Aunt Miao loves me. When this matter is over, Qin'er will find a few winemakers for Aunt Miao to brew new spirit wine for her every day."
Miaolishan was slightly stunned: "Shan girl, this is what you said. I think this Qingluozui is not bad, but the spiritual energy is a little shallow. It would be better if it could be a second-level one."
"As long as Aunt Miao likes it," he turned to look at Rong Ju, "you should give Chu Zhong a second-level winemaking inheritance someday and say that it was given to him by a senior from our Chamber of Commerce."
"Rong Ju understands."
The next day, when Wei Zhong was about to say goodbye to Ning Cankun and leave, a woman suddenly came to his door.
It was Rong Ju who gathered at the Chamber of Commerce.
Seeing him take out a jade slip, Wei Zhong looked puzzled, but when he saw the contents, he raised his head and asked:
"What does this mean, fellow Taoist?"
"There is a senior in my chamber of commerce who is very impressed by the Qingluo Zui you brewed, so I am using this to encourage you. I hope you can refine the second-level Qingluo Zui as soon as possible..."
After some polite words, Rong Ju turned and left.
"Brother Chu really has a bright future!" Ning Cankun said with some emotion.
Wei Zhong was silent for a moment. The Yunji Chamber of Commerce was really wealthy and powerful. They could give away such things as they pleased.
He raised his glass and clinked it with Ning Cankun who came over:
"It's just charity from others, not worth mentioning..."
Looking at Ning Cankun's old face opposite him, Wei Zhong felt a little emotional. However, after not seeing him for a month, there were more wrinkles on his face. He was afraid that he didn't have many days left.
It's over,
Wei Zhong took the green boat back to Black Lake Island. He did not encounter any blind Tribulation Cultivators along the way, which made Wei Zhong wonder if there were too few Foundation Establishment Cultivators and they were not working diligently enough.
All in all, the journey was uneventful and peaceful.
After returning to Black Lake Island, Wei Zhong set up the Green Lotus Array that he had obtained at the auction. He placed the flags along the nodes of the spirit veins, and a green water shield instantly covered the entire island and the nearby waters.
With a flash of inspiration, the water shield disappeared.
As long as someone triggers this magic circle, Wei Zhong will be alerted immediately. With a slight activation, clear water will emerge, and green lotuses will grow on it. The lotus leaves are as sharp as knives, and the lotus seeds are like bullets that can penetrate the enemy's body.
Thanks to the spiritual energy supply from the second-level medium-grade spirit vein, this formation does not need to be presided over by Wei Zhong himself. Even if Xie Linghua holds the core, she can resist the foundation-building cultivator for a while.
If Wei Zhong were in charge, it would be impossible to break through this place by simply building a foundation.
At this point, Black Lake Island finally had a decent magic circle, and Wei Zhong could practice in peace.
After throwing the Yuanshui beads and the big gold into the lake, Wei Zhong spent a few moments with Xie Linghua and the others, then returned to his own training room and stepped into the cave.
He no longer delved into alchemy, winemaking and other skills. He just practiced the second-level Black Water Spirit Clothes after daily life and devoted all his other time to cultivation.
With the entry of Yuanying forces, my current early stage of foundation building cultivation is no longer enough.
