JSCMU-Chapter 134: Raising Status

Yun Jin’s expression was somewhat complicated. She couldn’t help but say, “eldest Senior Brother, there’s no need for this.”

Yue Zhao smiled. “Little Junior Sister, you probably don’t realize it. Right now, within the sect, you are a unique existence. The Sect Master has controlled Tianxing Sect for so long, and you are the only one who can directly confront him and even gain the upper hand. Behind you, seniors like Elder Ming and Sword Elder, who usually don’t interfere with worldly affairs, are both willing to stand up for you. Senior Ling even went so far as to invite Senior Bai Yu for your sake. Not only that, you’ve also used your own talent to create one miracle after another. To the people of Tianxing Sect, you are different. Do you understand?”

Yun Jin was stunned for a moment. She was different?

Yue Zhao said gently, “Everyone believes that you can create more and more miracles. And with each miracle, you’ll become a beacon of light.”

You will become the true faith of Tianxing Sect.

As long as Yun Jin continued to create miracles and grow stronger, then the day she surpassed Zhao Wuji would be the day she became the uncrowned king of Tianxing Sect.

Yue Zhao also didn’t mind giving things a push from behind. In fact, he already started doing so. He had people spread the news that once Yun Jin made a move, she would be able to break Zhao Wuji’s monopoly on seeds.

“Eldest Senior Brother, aren’t you exaggerating a bit?” Yun Jin was a little embarrassed.

“Not exaggerated at all,” Yue Zhao smiled. “Little Junior Sister, you probably don’t know what Tianxing Sect was like before you arrived.”

Back then, Tianxing Sect was lifeless. Everything was under Zhao Wuji’s control.

Everyone wanted to resist, but they couldn’t find a way, so they could only endure day after day.

It’s no exaggeration to say that it was a stagnant pool of water.

But now, because of Yun Jin’s arrival, Tianxing Sect was completely revitalized.

Some people started wanting to resist, some began to scheme in secret, some grew restless, some tossed and turned.

All of these changes were brought by Yun Jin.

His Little Junior Sister had done so much, she deserved to stand on the pedestal.

Yun Jin felt a bit embarrassed hearing this, but not too much.

After all, she really was quite excellent.

Yun Jin couldn’t help but feel a little smug, she really was the best.

“Eldest Senior Brother, then how do you plan to handle the seed matter?” Yun Jin asked.

This matter had to be resolved to help the peaks and further solidify Yun Jin’s miracle-making persona.

On the other hand, Baicao Pavilion must not discover that she was Yun Jin.

Her identity would certainly be revealed later, but not now.

Handling this properly would require some finesse.

“It’s not difficult,” Yue Zhao said calmly. “I’ve already arranged it. Once you came out of seclusion, the seeds would be delivered to Heavenly Sword Peak. At that time, you can distribute them to other peaks. Didn’t you want to learn weapon refining from Yang Hui? These seeds can also serve as a bargaining chip.”

Yun Jin nodded in understanding and asked again. “Eldest Senior Brother, what did you say to Baicao Pavilion?”

Yue Zhao raised an eyebrow. “I simply said that I had a grudge with Zhao Wuji and couldn’t stand him monopolizing everything. I also hinted that I wanted to support Heavenly Sword Peak to oppose Zhao Wuji. Pavilion Master Chen is a smart man, he naturally understood.”

Yun Jin laughed upon hearing this.

Yue Zhao’s explanation sounded a bit too direct, even carrying the risk of revealing his identity.

But actually, it wasn’t.

First, in Chen Changrong’s eyes, they must be disciples from a super sect, maybe even from a Holy Land. If Yue Zhao said he had a grudge with Zhao Wuji, what would Chen Changrong imagine?

He would never think Yue Zhao was just a mere disciple of Tianxing Sect. How could a disciple be qualified to have a grudge with a sect leader?

He would think on a higher level, wasn’t Zhao Wuji’s father from Qingxiao Pavilion? Chen Changrong would most likely assume that the grudge Yue Zhao mentioned had to do with someone from Qingxiao Pavilion.

Thus, Yue Zhao indirectly raised their identities to another level. To have a grudge with someone from Qingxiao Pavilion could only mean they were from one of the Four Great Holy Lands. In Chen Changrong’s eyes, they were now 100% from a Holy Land.

If he investigated a little, he would find that Heavenly Sword Peak was suppressed by Zhao Wuji for years, yet recently, things kept reversing in their favor.

Was it because Heavenly Sword Peak had grown stronger on its own?

No.

Most likely, it was Ren Woxing and his Little Junior Sister secretly supporting Heavenly Sword Peak.

Perhaps even Yun Jin’s outrageous behavior was directed by the two of them, all to make Zhao Wuji suffer.

Yue Zhao didn’t say these things directly, but once Chen Changrong investigated, he would naturally fill in the blanks himself.

Next, in order to continue cooperating with Ren Woxing, he would only help cover things up, not letting others connect Heavenly Sword Peak to that alchemy genius.

Yue Zhao looked at Yun Jin’s somewhat thoughtful expression and smiled faintly.

He lived two lives, which is why he understood these matters of social finesse.

But his little junior sister seemed to understand them naturally.

Don’t be fooled by how outrageous her actions seemed on the surface, those she wanted to befriend all liked her very much.

She had always drawn a clear line between enemies and friends.

That could be considered a kind of talent as well.

“So,” Yue Zhao said with a smile, “in order not to let outsiders suspect a relationship between Baicao Pavilion and Heavenly Sword Peak, this time Baicao Pavilion is sending seeds under the guise of a business partnership. That is, Baicao Pavilion sells seeds at a low price, and once the spiritual plants mature, each peak must sell back a batch at a low price. But this contract is rather fair, so the peaks will gladly accept it. We at Heavenly Sword Peak are just intermediaries. Business is business, so naturally, no one will suspect anything.”

Yun Jin nodded. “Then let’s go with that.”

Yue Zhao said, “Then I’ll go arrange the delivery from Baicao Pavilion now.”

Yue Zhao turned and went to contact Chen Changrong.

In just a few hours.

The seeds from Baicao Pavilion arrived, along with several business agreements.

Yun Jin glanced over them, they were indeed quite fair.

“Little Junior Sister, next, how about I accompany you to visit the other peaks?” Yue Zhao said.

“Alright.” Yun Jin perked up and agreed.

Actually, whether in her previous life or this one, she never fully visited all ten peaks of Tianxing Sect.

This time, she could take a good look at what these ten peaks were really like.

According to proximity,

The first stop was Bright Moon Peak.

Bright Moon Peak was considered a neighbor to Heavenly Sword Peak, and Peak Master Fang Mingyue was somewhat inclined toward Heavenly Sword Peak. She had even spoken on their behalf publicly several times.

If they wanted to win allies, Fang Mingyue was the first choice.

But that was a matter for later. Without absolute strength, talk of alliances was meaningless.

Today, Yun Jin simply came to talk about the seed business.

Bright Moon Peak, spiritual field.

The spiritual plants in the fields were already completely removed, and only a few leftover seeds were scattered and planted, not enough to make a difference.

Fang Mingyue looked at the scene and felt a headache.

She did indeed take the chance to reclaim the spiritual fields, but Zhao Wuji’s methods were too ruthless.

Seeds were the foundation of all spiritual plants, and he directly cut off their source for buying seeds. Even if they nurtured planting masters later, what use would that be?

“Peak Master, Yue Zhao and Yun Jin of Heavenly Sword Peak request an audience,” a disciple came in to report.
