"Whoosh!"
With a sound, a dark shadow fell in front of him.
Jing Zhe immediately tensed up, ready to fight.
But when the shadowy figure turned around, his guard completely dropped: "Master, it's you!"
It turned out that the dark figure was the old medicine boy whom they had parted ways with just two days ago. Seeing that he looked so energetic, Jing Zhe asked happily, "Master, your injuries are all healed?"
The old medicine boy nodded, then looked at him and asked, "Did you kill both of the Twin Monsters of Tongtian?"
"Yes, I went there again the next afternoon and killed them while they were still injured."
"Hmm, not bad, not bad."
The old apprentice's eyes showed approval: "Strike while the iron is hot, that's very well done! You're just like me. Even if you hadn't made a move, I would have gone yesterday and wanted them dead too. But since you acted on my behalf, it's only fair!"
"Great minds think alike, haha!"
Jing Zhe laughed shamelessly, thinking to himself that he and his master had many similarities.
"You really want this martial arts alliance leader position?"
It seemed the old medicine boy also knew something about the martial arts tournament, and suddenly asked.
"yes!"
Jing Zhe said with a righteous expression, "In order to revitalize our Heaven and Earth Sect, I must obtain the title of Martial Arts Alliance Leader no matter what!"
"Speak properly."
"Hehe, Master is indeed Master! Actually, I also have my own selfish motives. This martial arts tournament was organized by Prince Jin in collusion with Tongtianque. They are determined to become the leader of the martial arts alliance and have ulterior motives! If Tongtianque really wins the title of leader of the martial arts alliance, it will inevitably harm other sects. In the long run, it will become a tool for Prince Jin to satisfy his own selfish interests! I will not let such a thing happen!"
The old medicine boy was finally satisfied after hearing this.
"I have no interest in sects or sects. In my opinion, those who call themselves righteous sects and those who belong to cults are no different from each other."
"The Heaven and Earth Sect was just something I casually mentioned when I took Mo Chen as my disciple. I never imagined fate would play such a cruel trick; one of my disciples is a princess of the current dynasty, and the other a high-ranking official. Judging from the current situation, it seems they can even propel the Heaven and Earth Sect to the throne of martial arts alliance leader—something I never envisioned before."
"But since you want it, then go ahead and take it! I've seen that the level of the people participating in the competition is not much different from yours. Even the strongest one, that kid from the Qingcheng Sect, is only one level higher than you!"
"???"
Jing Zhe was immediately stunned. He had thought that his fourth sister, Pei Yunxi, was the strongest, but he never expected it to be Lin Qingshan!
"Is he... a mid-stage sixth level cultivator?"
The old medicine boy nodded: "His cultivation level is one level higher than all of yours, and he has deliberately concealed it. At most, you can only sense that he is at the beginning of the sixth level of cultivation!"
"That sly bastard!"
"You two are actually pretty much the same."
Upon hearing Jing Zhe curse, the old medicine boy said calmly.
However, the old medicine boy was right. In truth, Jing Zhe was even more cunning than Lin Qingshan. At least Lin Qingshan only concealed one level of his cultivation, but Jing Zhe made it impossible for anyone to tell that he knew martial arts...
"But don't be discouraged. Your master has specially refined an enhanced version of the Jujube Pill for you. Just take one pill, and if you combine it with different women to reverse Yin and Yang—of course, it's best if the women are at a similar level to you—your strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds!"
He then added, "You're already at the peak of the initial stage of the sixth level, just one step away from breaking through. But you should have realized that breaking through now is extremely difficult. However, if you take the newly refined, enhanced version of the Jujube Pill, and follow my instructions, you'll definitely be able to advance another level! At that time, you'll be at the same level as that kid from the Qingcheng Sect, but your lightness skill is better, so defeating him won't be a problem!"
"..."
After a long silence, Jing Zhe finally figured out the King of Jin's strategy.
It seems that Lin Qingshan is Prince Jin's trump card.
However, what Jing Zhe is curious about now is: "Master, what is that enhanced version of the jujube pill you just mentioned?"
The old apprentice medicine boy said, "These jujube pills were just something I casually concocted back then; I didn't have high hopes for them, otherwise I wouldn't have given them away so easily..."
Old Versailles!
He can even better act like the King of Pretenders!
The two "casual" gestures had already made Jing Zhe exclaim, "Wow!"
"Master is amazing!"
In short, let's continue listening to the old medicine boy's explanation.
"However, after seeing you this time, I realized that the Jujube Pill that I casually made is so useful. So I found another Breakthrough Flower and added some new herbs that I recently found on Longevity Mountain, so I made five more enhanced Jujube Pills!"
As he spoke, he reached into his robes, pulled out a small medicine bottle, and tossed it to Jing Zhe.
When Jing Zhe opened it, he found that the enhanced version of the jujube pills inside was a size larger than the original ones, with increased dosage and effectiveness. It was fantastic.
"Master... are you giving all of this to me? I feel a little embarrassed..."
"Excuse me?"
The old medicine boy glanced at him and said, "Then give it to me, I'll just give it to someone else!"
"Don't!"
Jing Zhe quickly stuffed the medicine bottle into his clothes and said with a grin, "Since it was given to me by my master, wouldn't it be disrespectful to him if I didn't accept it? So I have no choice but to accept it!"
Jing Zhe was overjoyed as he carefully put the medicine bottle away.
He had proudly boasted to Wang Yingqiu that he had six jujube pills left, but after coming to Jinxi, he only had two left.
If he were to calculate it again now, Wang Yingqiu, Qiu Qianqian, and Mu Qingren had already benefited from the date pills, so they didn't need to be bothered with for the time being.
But the remaining women, Su Mochen and Liu Jinghong, that's two. So, wouldn't Third Sister Qingqiu and Fourth Sister Pei Yunxi have to prepare two each? If Third Sister and Fourth Sister have them, how can Eldest Sister not?
These are all the ones that are out in the open. He hasn't even met his sixth and seventh sisters yet. Who can guarantee that they won't use them?
Therefore, the old medicine boy's five enhanced jujube pills were like a timely help in the snow!
