On the way, Zu An touched his pocket, where there were still several gifts of gratitude from other sects of Taoism.

After meeting Guan Chouhai in the prison, he also met with the chief disciples of other sects. After the battle of Zishan, apart from Baiyujing and Biluogong, which had close ties with Zuan, almost all other sects had people arrested.

Reassure them not to panic, that the matter has been resolved, and so on.

Those people looked at Zu An with admiration. On Purple Mountain, they were all so full of vigor and high spirits, each one a prodigy of their sect. At first, when they saw Zu An, who was the same age as them, they secretly looked down on him, thinking that he must be good at flattery to be in such a high position.

After what happened, they finally realized that the two sides were not on the same level at all. Some news they had heard recently indicated that even the leaders of their respective sects were clearly inferior to them.

Now that they have fallen to such a state, it is Zu'an who has spared no effort to save them, despite past grievances. They are all grateful and ashamed, remembering that some of them once thought they could compete with him for the title of Fairy Chu.

In addition, during this period, the Empress and the Crown Princess's people were constantly exaggerating how cruelly they would be dealt with, so they were even more grateful after learning that Zu'an had saved them, and they all took out their most precious savings to thank Zu'an.

Zuan realized that he did have a high demand for pills during this period, so he readily accepted them.

"I should be able to refine a few more pills this time." Zu An sighed that Xiao Zhao's aptitude was really low; he needed to take several Marrow Cleansing Pills to improve it.

Fortunately, the other women were all quite talented, so one pill was enough for them; otherwise, he would have gone bankrupt and still couldn't afford to support them.

Before they knew it, they had arrived outside Jiang Luofu's courtyard. Just as they were about to knock on the door, the door opened from the inside.

Zuan's eyes lit up. Every time he saw Jiang Luofu, he felt like he was back in his previous life because her temperament was very similar to those office ladies in his previous life, or female teachers in certain movies. Her shapely and straight thighs and black stockings were a perfect match, like instant noodles and ham, cumin and lamb, Liu Yifei and me.

"Sister Jiang is going out?" Zu An asked, somewhat surprised.

"Hmm." Jiang Luofu nodded, a hint of worry on her beautiful face. "Did you need something?"

Zuan took out something about the size of a ring box from his pocket and handed it to her: "Here is a Marrow Cleansing Pill. This pill can improve a person's cultivation aptitude."

A hint of surprise flashed across Jiang Luofu's face: "No wonder you've been tinkering in the alchemy room lately, so you've been refining this. Is this thing really that magical?"

"Sister Jiang, weren't you always curious about why I have such good aptitude? It's all thanks to something like a medicinal pill," Zu An explained with a smile.

Jiang Luofu's expression shifted. She never expected him to tell her such an important secret. She was both touched and embarrassed: "This item is too precious. Although I don't know how to make it, I imagine the materials required must be extremely rare and precious. You should keep it for Chu Yan and the others."

“I’ll refine them for them, this one is for you first.” Zu’an shoved the box into her hand without saying another word.

Jiang Luofu blushed slightly: "I can't accept something for nothing, and I'm not... I feel a little embarrassed to take this from you."

“Who says I have no merit? If it weren’t for Sister Jiang’s care back then, I wouldn’t be where I am today in Bright Moon City,” Zu An said solemnly.

Hearing him say that, Jiang Luofu bit her lip: "In that case, I will accept it. However, this item is too precious. If the news is accidentally leaked, it will easily make me an enemy of the world."

Cultivation is incredibly difficult for ordinary people. They basically have to start cultivating from a young age to toughen their bodies. If they knew that a single pill could defy fate, the entire cultivation world would probably go crazy. Who wouldn't want to possess it?

Especially with the successful example of Zu'an before them, everyone thought, "He cultivated to this level at such a young age, it turns out he relied on this elixir!"

Whoever possesses this elixir could easily cultivate a group of top experts.

Although Zuan is strong now, he has become the enemy of all cultivators in the world, which is ultimately a dangerous thing.

Zu An smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Refining this pill is extremely difficult, and the materials required are extremely rare. Mass production is impossible."

Jiang Luofu's heart skipped a beat. He actually prepared such a precious item especially for me...

"Eat it quickly, I'm worried the medicinal properties will evaporate if it's left too long," Zu'an reminded him. After all, he had only recently refined this pill, and he wasn't clear on some of the details. To be on the safe side, he could only eat it as soon as it was refined.

Jiang Luofu hummed in agreement, opened the brocade box, and inside was a crystal-clear, shimmering pill that looked extraordinary. She picked it up and put it in her mouth, where it instantly melted. An unprecedented experience spread through her throat, and she felt as if her body was connected to heaven and earth, with the primordial energy of heaven and earth washing over her limbs and bones.

Seeing that she ate it without hesitation, Zu'an couldn't help but tease her, "You didn't even check it? Aren't you afraid I'll drug you?"

A blush crept across Jiang Luofu's usually aloof face. She glared at him, annoyed, and said, "I wouldn't just take any pills given to me by others, but you're different."

Zu An's heart skipped a beat. He wanted to ask her what was different, but then he felt that it was a bit ambiguous.

At this moment, Jiang Luofu suddenly frowned and subtly twisted her body. She felt sticky and uncomfortable all over, and wondered if this guy had really drugged her.

Zu An suddenly remembered: "That's right, this pill cleanses the meridians and marrow, and will completely expel impurities from the body, so a bath is necessary to cleanse it."
