An ink-blue plate with a crystal-clear luster, you can tell at first glance that it is top-quality jade.

Manager Wang's indifferent expression changed the moment he saw the sign.

“This, this…”

Shopkeeper Wang stuttered, his fluent speech no longer existed. He stared at the sign with wide eyes, then looked up at Zhongli Tingzhou.

As a partner of Zixiao Sect, Shopkeeper Wang has been doing business here for many years and is familiar with the badges of Zixiao Sect's disciples. He has even seen the badges of the eight masters of the lower nine peaks. As for the elders with higher seniority in the main peak, he has never seen them, but he has heard of them.

The highest level badge of Zixiao Sect is the black badge. It is rumored that only Master Zixiao possesses it. Below that are the dark blue badges.

He had never seen these two types of cards in person, but the cards of Zixiao Sect all had special sword tassel symbols, so there was no way he could make a mistake.

Shopkeeper Wang really couldn't imagine that the dark blue card, which was second only to the black card of Zixiao Sect, would be in the hands of this young man.

Shopkeeper Wang looked at Qian Pang suspiciously and whispered, "Qian Pang, tell me honestly, is he really that?"

"Manager Wang, I've said it eight hundred times, he really is my great-grandmaster, guaranteed to be the real deal."

Seeing Manager Wang's cautious look, Qian Pang felt indescribably happy.

"But, but the seniority and age are not right." Shopkeeper Wang said dryly.

"My uncle-master is a disciple of my great-granduncle-master. Even the sect leader has to call him uncle-master. What's wrong with that?" Fatty Qian asked back proudly.

Shopkeeper Wang was stunned. Does Master Zixiao of the Zixiao Sect have such a young disciple?

"My apologies, sir. I was blind and did not recognize the great man. Please forgive my disrespect just now."

Shopkeeper Wang quickly apologized to Zhongli Tingzhou and admitted his mistake.

"Since you are Master Zixiao's disciple, Dandinglou must give you this little bit of face. Whatever elixir you want, I will get it for you right away."

Shopkeeper Wang was trembling with fear, not daring to look up at Zhongli Tingzhou, for fear that he would go find the owner of Danding Tower in a fit of rage.

"Wouldn't it have been better if you did this earlier?" Zhongli Tingzhou took the sign back.

The pills sold in Danding Building are more expensive than those sold in the outer gate's trading market, but after deducting 30% of the price difference, they are much cheaper.

Zhongli Tingzhou saw that there were still quite a few spirit stones in the storage bag, so he asked for a large number of pills.

Although it was reduced by 30%, Dandinglou still made a profit. The elixir and magic weapon business were the two most profitable industries.

There are many cases where products are sold at several times the original price.

It is not excessive for Zhongli Tingzhou to ask for a 30% difference. How much money has Danding Tower made and how much trouble has it avoided over the years by borrowing the name of Zixiao Sect? These cannot be compared with mere spirit stones.

After buying the pills, he looked at some magical herbs and medicines.

These are the raw materials for alchemy, and their prices are much cheaper than elixirs.

Zhongli Tingzhou bought some more.

Seeing him unceremoniously collecting a bunch of them, Qian Pang bravely asked, "Master Uncle, you bought so many spiritual herbs, are you going to take them back to make pills?"

"No." Zhongli Tingzhou was in a good mood and took the time to reply to him.

"Taking the medicine directly may not be as effective as taking pills." Qian Pang reminded carefully.

"I know, I just took it back to play with it."

Well, I have money and time.

Qian Pang curled his lips slightly. Not long ago, his uncle's friends came to him to borrow spirit stones, but that was just over two months ago. Now they have so many spirit stones that they can spend them freely.

Why didn’t I see it at the beginning? That Junior Brother Gao obviously has an extraordinary temperament.

After a while, Shopkeeper Wang respectfully sent the great god out and then heaved a sigh of relief.

He turned around and went back to Danding Tower immediately. Master Zixiao of Zixiao Sect actually accepted disciples. This was big news and he had to tell his master.

After returning to Zixiao Sect, Qian Pang saw Zhongli Tingzhou was about to leave, and looked around at the people coming and going, and hurriedly asked loudly: "Uncle Master, are you satisfied today?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the pace of the nearby disciples slowed down instantly.

Zhongli Tingzhou saw through the little fat boy's intention at a glance. Considering that he had come back with a lot of gains today, he smiled and said, "Little fat boy, you have a bright future. I am very satisfied with you, uncle-master."

After saying that, he left.

"Goodbye, uncle-master." Qian Pang bowed respectfully.

When everyone gathered around him and asked him who that person was, he was already very happy. This young uncle-master was so cooperative.

After that, Qian Pang told everyone that he knew Master Uncle Zhongli in order to expand his network.

He didn't dare to do bad things in the name of Grand Master Zhongli, otherwise the first person who would come to beat him up would probably not be Grand Master Zhongli, but his father.

Climb to the Nine Peaks.

Zhongli Tingzhou came back and after looking around he found Gao Han standing in front of the mountain wall.

"What are you doing standing here? Knowing that I'm..."

Zhongli Tingzhou approached, and before he finished speaking, he found that he had his eyes closed, so he waited until he woke up on his own.

More than an hour later, Gao Han opened his eyes.

"You know I..."

"You know I..."

They both spoke at the same time.

"Forget it, you speak first." Zhongli Tingzhou gave in. He also wanted to know what Gao Han was doing just now. After saying that, he cast a layer of spiritual consciousness barrier around the two of them to prevent their master from overhearing.

You must know that this is a unnecessary move. If Master Zixiao really wants to eavesdrop, only a strong man of the same level can stop him.

However, as his master, he would not intentionally eavesdrop on his disciple's behavior.

"The Yayoi Ring has mutated." Gao Han said calmly.

"Oh, the top floor is open?" Zhongli Tingzhou's reaction was calmer than his.

Gao Han shook his head. "I have always believed that the Yayoi Ring was restricted in some way. They were afraid that my cultivation level would break through too quickly, so they blocked the higher-level skills and mental methods."

"You think too much. Who cares how fast you break through?" Zhongli Tingzhou said.

Gao Han glanced at him threateningly, "Do you still want to listen to me?"

Zhongli Tingzhou immediately made a gesture of invitation, "You go ahead and tell me."

Gao Han continued, "The true form of the Yayoi Ring is actually a defensive magic weapon, but it has storage properties. The bookshelf on the top floor actually seals the magic weapon's spirit."

"Spirit of the weapon?" Zhongli Tingzhou frowned.

"Well, the higher the level of the magic weapon, the higher the chance of it producing a weapon spirit. The Yayoi Ring should have been a top-level magic weapon, so it's not surprising that it has a weapon spirit. However, the weapon spirit seems to have dissipated."

"Doesn't that mean that after leveling up, there is nothing to gain?"

"That's not the case. There are a few more books."

"Kung Fu technique?"

Gao Han wanted to read it, but it was obviously not the case. "It is related to Lingtian Continent, mostly humanities and geography, and some books on alchemy and refining."

"I read a few of them and found that although these books seem common, they are different from those in Zixiao Sect's Canggong Pavilion. Most of them talk about things that happened a long time ago, but there are not many books about them now."

Zhongli Tingzhou heard the slight rise in his voice at the end, and smiled, "It seems that the harvest is not small."

Gao Han hummed, "I suspect that the owner of the Yayoi Ring might be a powerful person from Lingtian Continent many years ago."

"Does it explain why the Yayoi Ring ended up in the future world?"

"No," Gao Han shook his head, "I guess it might be related to the space crack."

"So, this strong man is most likely the elder of the Supreme Sect who created the Eight Divine Swords?" Zhongli Tingzhou frowned again.

This is indeed not easy to deal with. If it really belongs to the elder of the Supreme Sect, it will be difficult to expose the Yayoi Ring in the future.

The Yayoi Ring had already been refined by him. If he took the initiative to sever the contract with the Yayoi Ring, he would suffer backlash, causing his cultivation level to plummet.

Another way is to kill him. Then the Yayoi Ring will lose its owner and the mark of his spiritual consciousness left in the ring will gradually weaken and eventually become ownerless.

“The possibility is indeed great.”

This was a potential big trouble for them, after all, Jishang Sect was a big sect as famous as Zixiao Sect.

Zhongli Tingzhou chuckled, "If they really dare to come and rob us, we will kill them one by one."

"Never mind that for now. Have you bought the pills I asked you to buy?" Gao Han asked as he walked towards the house.

After entering the house, Zhongli Tingzhou took out all the gains he had made on this trip.

There were a huge pile of bottles and jars filled with elixirs, as well as many magical herbs and medicines, more than Gao Han had expected.

"You robbed a pill shop?"

"How is that possible? Am I such a low-class person? My uncle-master also has to save face. I bought all these with spirit stones." Zhongli Tingzhou said disdainfully.

"You are." Gao Han bluntly pierced his inflated arrogance, "How much is the reputation of my great-grandmaster? If you really don't want it, you might as well throw it on the ground and step on it a few times. You didn't use your great-grandmaster's identity to force the other party to sell these things to you, did you?"

Zhongli Tingzhou stared at him for a long time, "You stole my heart."

Gao Han was confused.

"How else would you know what I did?" he added.

Gao Han's face suddenly turned black, "Is this your way of saving face?"

"No, it's my uncle's face that's valuable." Zhongli Tingzhou told him the whole process.

Gao Han was surprised after hearing this, "If that's the case, then Master Uncle's reputation is indeed valuable."

Zhongli Tingzhou came up to him and said with a smile, "Are you not going to talk about face now?"

Gao Han's expression remained unchanged. "Let's talk about it when we have spiritual stones. But why are we buying so many spiritual herbs?"

Zhongli Tingzhou shrugged and said, "Try to make an elixir for you?"

"I don't have much time to refine weapons now, so how can I have the time to refine pills? I'll do it when I have time. Besides, the current level of my origin fire is not high enough." Gao Han shook his head. The drama queen really thinks highly of himself.

Master Tian Dao doesn't know how to refine weapons, so he won't be able to give him much advice in this regard. The only thing he can teach him is to become the strongest swordsman in Lingtian Continent.

As for refining weapons and elixirs, he had to figure it out on his own.

During this period, Gao Han read a lot of books about refining equipment and alchemy, and discovered a problem.

Before starting, weapon refiners and alchemists would go out to look for flames to strengthen their own original fire.

The fire of origin can become stronger and stronger, and one of the prerequisites for becoming stronger is to absorb and refine the fire of the same origin.
