JSCMU-Chapter 133: Seed, Seed

Planning to move the matter of going to chat with Yang Hui up the schedule, for now, Yun Jin still continued her seclusion to refine pills.

This time, she planned to refine a batch of various useful pills. Especially the Yellow Dragon Pill, this kind of hard currency, whether for the market or for herself, was very much needed. The more, the better.

This time, Yun Jin directly entered seclusion for half a month. After refining a large batch of various pills, she finally chose to go out.

She first went to find Yue Zhao and handed him the storage pouch containing the pills.

Yue Zhao briefly checked it, and his expression immediately changed.

This… these are all pills?

Why did it feel like Little Junior Sister’s pill refining speed was getting more and more unscientific?

“Eldest Senior Brother, these can all be sold. As for the quality, they are all perfect.” Yun Jin yawned.

Yue Zhao forced himself to look calm and composed. He responded, “Alright, I’ve already greeted Pavilion Master Chen beforehand. I told him there might be new pills coming in, so he should be mentally prepared.”

“That’s good.” Yun Jin chuckled and then asked, “Eldest Senior Brother, do you know anything about Yang Hui, the Peak Master of Artifact Forging Peak?”

Yun Jin’s smile was strange, and Yue Zhao gave her a curious look, but still replied, “Peak Master Yang Hui is proficient in weapon refining and is already a Fifth-Rank Refiner. He once forged a Tian-grade magic treasure. Although it was the lowest tier, it still proves his ability.”

Fifth-Rank Refiner…

Yun Jin rubbed her chin. “What about his personality?”

Yue Zhao raised an eyebrow. “Have you seen a wallflower? The kind that leans whichever way the wind blows.”

Yun Jin instantly understood. “Got it, he’s someone who knows how to read the situation.”

“Peak Master Yang Hui is quite interesting,” Yue Zhao added. “On the surface, he and Huo Lie are best friends, and he openly supports the Sect Master. Occasionally, he even makes sarcastic remarks about Master. But as far as I know, he actually secretly helped Heavenly Sword Peak. He does things covertly, probably doesn’t want others to know, so just act like you don’t know.”

Yun Jin nodded in understanding.

Looks like this Yang Hui’s personality is mainly cowardly and cautious.

“Eldest Senior Brother,” Yun Jin paused, “If I go to him to learn weapon refining, will he teach me?”

“Absolutely impossible!” Yue Zhao said firmly. “He would never openly associate with us. If you visit, you’ll most likely be driven out.”

Is that so?

Yun Jin began pondering.

Yue Zhao looked at her strangely. “Little Junior Sister, why do you suddenly want to learn weapon refining?”

He really wanted to say.

Didn’t you already learn enough?

Swordsmanship!

Botany techniques!

Pill refining!

Is that not enough?

You still have time to mess with weapon refining?

“I didn’t want to either,” Yun Jin sighed, not hiding anything. She directly took out the Tai’a Sword. “Today, I unlocked my ancestral ring. That ring was originally given by a cultivator. At the time, he was in trouble and was saved by my ancestor by coincidence, and this ring was a gift of gratitude. I just unlocked it these past few days and found this sword inside.”

Yue Zhao looked at Yun Jin’s ring and suddenly understood.

He didn’t notice before due to some concealment technique on the ring.

Now that Yun Jin unlocked it, he could finally tell that it was a storage ring.

Yue Zhao also liked swords. He took the Tai’a Sword and examined it carefully.

Immediately, his expression slightly changed.

This sword seems unusual.

Although the grade wasn’t high, it still gave a feeling that something extraordinary was hidden beneath the surface.

Yun Jin didn’t make Yue Zhao guess. She directly said, “This is a sword that can grow. As long as the right minerals are found and combined with weapon refining, it can be upgraded step by step. Theoretically, as long as it keeps evolving, even Tian-grade or Saint-grade is not impossible.”

It could even do that?

Yue Zhao’s first reaction was amazement.

The next moment, he felt a bit hesitant.

That’s what it says, but for this sword to upgrade, the owner’s refining ability requirements were too high.

If it needed to be upgraded to Tian-grade, didn’t that mean the owner also needed to become a master refiner?

If it were Yue Zhao himself, there’d be no hope at all. He’d rather find a more ordinary but higher-grade magic treasure.

But…

If it was Little Junior Sister…

Yue Zhao stared fixedly at Yun Jin.

Logic told him that Yun Jin already knew enough.

Aside from pill refining and botany, if she turned out to be a genius at weapon refining as well, how could others survive in this world?

But.

Yue Zhao noticed that the sword already recognized Yun Jin as its master. That meant Little Junior Sister already made up her mind to upgrade it!

Little Junior Sister also seemed to have some confidence in the path of weapon refining.

Yue Zhao’s thoughts began to turn rapidly.

If so, then they really had to visit Yang Hui.

For no other reason than that only Artifact Forging Peak had the Earth Fire Array, only that could refine spiritual tools and magic treasures.

Otherwise, they’d have to go to the marketplace.

There were weapon refining workshops there too, but with all the turmoil going on in the market, it would be too dangerous for Yun Jin to go.

Yue Zhao thought for a moment, then suddenly said, “Xiao Jin, there’s something you don’t know because you’ve been in seclusion.”

“Eldest Senior Brother, go ahead,” Yun Jin listened seriously.

Yue Zhao said slowly, “Aside from Long Yi and Huo Lie, who still handed the control of the spirit fields to Zhao Wuji, everyone else has gradually reclaimed their spirit fields according to the agreement. After that, Zhao Wuji did two things. First, he took away all the spiritual plants from the fields, regardless of whether they were mature or not, and left only empty plots for each peak.”

Yun Jin nodded. That part she already knew.

“Second. He contacted all the nearby seed suppliers. Without spiritual plants, each peak would need to replant. But when they went to contact the major seed suppliers and tried to purchase seeds, they found out that all the suppliers refused to sell to them.”

“You’ve been in seclusion for half a month, and the spirit fields of the various peaks have been left barren. Only a small number of seeds from old stock was sparsely planted. The peak masters came to us for help, and I’ve already sent Ye Cheng to assist them.”

“But, even the most clever housewife cannot cook without rice.”

Yue Zhao said this and then paused meaningfully.

“Eldest Senior Brother?” Yun Jin looked at Yue Zhao in slight confusion.

Seeds shouldn’t be a problem.

Right now, they are in a profit-sharing alliance with Baicao Pavilion. As long as Yue Zhao spoke, at the very least, Baicao Pavilion should be able to supply seeds.

Yue Zhao smiled. “Baicao Pavilion doesn’t know we’re disciples of Tianxing Sect, so after the Sect Master gave instructions, they also stopped supplying seeds to Tianxing Sect. If I were to speak as Ren Woxing, I could indeed get Baicao Pavilion to lift the blockade.”

Zhao Wuji gave the order, and Baicao Pavilion felt that the profit margin on seeds wasn’t high anyway and there was no reason to offend a Sect Master.

But if he were the one to speak, it would be different. Given their cooperative relationship and the status of Baicao Pavilion in Canglan Kingdom, they wouldn’t necessarily need to fear Zhao Wuji too much.

“Then?” Yun Jin looked at Yue Zhao, still puzzled.

Yue Zhao smiled faintly and said slowly. “Junior Sister, this matter is not something I can resolve. Only after you came out of seclusion could it be solved. You are the only one who can help the various peaks.”

Yun Jin was momentarily stunned, then immediately understood.

Eldest Senior Brother deliberately did not resolve this matter, he was waiting for her to come out of seclusion.

It was to hand over the hearts of the people for her to gather!
