Ji Dengtu was taken aback: "You wrote that fast?"
Zu An blushed: "What do you mean I wrote it? I already told you that I got it by chance from a storyteller before. I just went in and found it."
Actually, these were written back in Brightmoon City. At that time, things were very difficult, and I was thinking of seizing every opportunity to trade useful things with others. This booklet was one of them, but I never expected that I would never have the chance to use it.
Ji Dengtu turned sideways to block Jiang Luofu's view while quickly flipping through the book. Seeing that the contents were indeed not sham, he was overjoyed: "Not bad, not bad, kid has potential."
As she spoke, she took a small bag from her bosom and tossed it to him.
When Zuan opened it, he found it contained about a dozen hollow cicada leaves, each one translucent and as thin as a cicada's wing—no wonder it had that name.
"Any more?" Zu An pondered that refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill wasn't just about one or two pills; the required quantity was probably more than this.
"Do you think this is something we grow at home? You have to go find it yourself in the Great Snowy Mountain," Ji Dengtu said irritably. He had accidentally picked this back then and almost lost his life.
Zuan thought about it and agreed; having a dozen or so pieces was already a pleasant surprise.
Just then, Ji Dengtu suddenly leaned over again, his eyebrows twitching: "I have quite a few other precious medicinal herbs here. Do you have any other similar booklets?"
What medicinal herbs do you have?
What medicinal herbs do you need?
"Do you have the Azure Flame Brain?"
"Oh, I didn't expect you to know so much about medicine. This thing is indeed very precious and rare, but it can be used in medicine. I happen to have some here."
"What about the horn of the Bai Ze, or the inner core of the Sphinx?"
"??? You're asking for too much, kid. Where would I get such a legendary beast? As for that Sphinx, I've never even heard of it."
Then Zuan asked about several other things, including what was needed to reshape Mi Li's physical body.
Ji Dengtu looked a little embarrassed: "Alright, alright, we don't have anything else, only the Azure Flame Brain. Do you want it?"
I don't know where this kid heard about these rare treasures; he had only seen snippets of them in some nearly lost ancient books by chance.
"Okay, that works too."
"Anything is fine, but you haven't given me any other booklets yet."
"I have a story related to Dream of the Red Chamber, I don't know if you're interested."
"Explain in detail!"
Seeing the two of them walk into the small house arm in arm, the remaining people looked at each other in bewilderment.
Jiang Luofu was also completely bewildered. When did they become so close, acting as if they were friends despite their age difference?
Not long after, Ji Dengtu came out satisfied, and stuffed a small booklet into his pocket.
Suddenly I'm starting to find this kid somewhat agreeable. He's handsome, speaks nicely, and has such an interesting story. Hmm, as long as he doesn't get involved with my Xiaoxi, we can still be good friends.
Next, Jiang Luofu took Ji Dengtu to meet the other fellow disciples. After all, they hadn't seen each other for so many years, and since they had come back this time, they had a lot to catch up on.
At this moment, Ji Dengtu only wanted to return to his small dark room, take out some toilet paper, and slowly appreciate the masterpieces in the booklet. However, he dared not disobey his sister-in-law and could only suppress his surging emotions for the time being.
He even started to wonder if he should remind her to stay away from Zu An. He could write a book that even he couldn't resist, and he had countless tricks up his sleeve. How could an ordinary woman resist him?
However, he thought again that Jiang Luofu was always aloof and seemed to have no interest in men, so how could she be fooled by that little brat?
Besides, even if she lies, it might not be a bad thing. That way, someone will deal with her later, and that kid won't have time to bother Xiaoxi anymore.
Thinking about it this way, shouldn't I take the initiative to play matchmaker for them?
"What are you thinking about? Why are you smiling so lewdly?" Jiang Luofu frowned, thinking that her brother-in-law's demeanor was completely gone. How could her sister have fallen for him in the first place?
"Nothing much. By the way, what do you think of that kid Zu'an?"
"He's great. He's good-looking, has a good personality, is loyal to his friends, and his cultivation level is incredibly high. Also, don't call him like you used to. Now you should call him the Chief Priest."
"..."
Seeing the involuntary smile on her lips as she introduced herself, Ji Dengtu's expression turned strange. Well, he didn't need to worry about her at all.
Why am I feeling a little annoyed? That guy's love life is so good while he's writing books, and I, the reader, can only offer my hands as wives?
...
After being interrupted, Zu'an could no longer help the young girls expand their meridians.
Xiao Zhao and even You Zhao are fine, since they are family, but it's not so convenient for Murong Qinghe. It's really inappropriate for a young girl to have her hands poking around on him.
He hadn't thought of this before, but every time he, Xiao Zhao, and You Zhao were misunderstood, he realized that it was inappropriate.
It just so happens that Youzhao was only given a brief introduction, so let her explain to Murong Qinghe and come back after she has thought it through.
In the following days, Tang Hui, the chubby man in the Embroidery Tower, had collected a batch of Heavenly Crane Mushroom, Crimson Star Jade, and Purple Cloud Spirit Flower. After all, it was the new boss's first task, and he really worked overtime to complete it well in order to leave a good impression.
Zuan then took it back to the back mountain of the academy and began refining the Gathering Yuan Pill to help Daji and Moxi improve their cultivation.
The capital has been relatively peaceful these days, after all, no one dares to provoke him in the face of his ruthless methods.
However, a minor incident occurred: Princess Meng Chan, the Princess Consort of Dai, disappeared from the residence guarded by her.
According to the Embroidered Robe Envoy's investigation, it appears that she fled voluntarily, and they are thoroughly investigating who she bribed.
Zuan didn't care; the gap between them was too great, and he didn't care about her revenge at all.
That night, while he was refining elixirs, he suddenly opened his eyes. He noticed that someone had broken up from the foot of the mountain, injured several disciples, and that patrols were searching for them in the back.
He scanned the area with his divine sense and was stunned: "How could it be her?"
