JSCMU-Chapter 135: The Ten Peaks of Tianxing Sect

Yue Zhao? Yun Jin?

Fang Mingyue’s gaze shifted slightly.

Recently, all the peaks were overwhelmed by the seed issue. Some peak masters even began to waver, thinking perhaps it was better to surrender to Zhao Wuji and go back to how things used to be.

At this time, a saying was spreading among the disciples.

They said that as long as Yun Jin took action, the seed issue would surely be resolved with ease.

When Fang Mingyue heard it, she merely laughed it off.

Yun Jin was indeed a rather miraculous person, and she did believe Yun Jin had a boundless future.

But for now…

She was still just a disciple.

How could she possibly resolve such a huge issue?

Zhao Wuji already gave the order not to sell seeds to them. How could Yun Jin have the ability to change all of this?

But today, Yue Zhao and Yun Jin came to request an audience. Fang Mingyue began to sense something.

Could it be that this Yun Jin really had some way to solve it?

“Bring them here directly,” Fang Mingyue said with a glint in her eye.

“Yes!” the disciple responded and left.

Not long after.

Yue Zhao and Yun Jin were brought in.

“Greetings, Peak Master,” the two greeted respectfully.

Fang Mingyue smiled faintly and waved for the other disciples to withdraw.

Then she looked at Yun Jin with great interest.

She was paying attention to Yun Jin for quite some time.

But this was their first time interacting face-to-face.

Fang Mingyue teased a little. “You actually still salute me? I thought you’d say right away, ‘I want this sky to no longer cover my eyes.’”

Yun Jin couldn’t help but lightly cough twice.

This Peak Master Fang seemed a bit cheeky.

But that was alright. Yun Jin was mature and serious, she could hold it in.

Yun Jin said sweetly. “Peak Master Fang is beautiful and gentle. How could I dare act presumptuously in front of you?”

Fang Mingyue laughed.

Although she knew this girl was buttering her up, how to put it.

Just think of how she acted all obnoxiously in front of Zhao Wuji, and then compare that with how respectful she was now. It was such a contrast that Fang Mingyue immediately felt very comfortable.

Fang Mingyue smiled brightly. “You sure know how to talk. Yue Zhao, your little junior sister truly inherited your skills.”

These senior and junior siblings both knew how to put on an act.

“Disciple is humbled,” Yue Zhao replied with a very modest look.

Fang Mingyue felt a bit speechless. “You two don’t need to act in front of me. Did you come for something today?”

As she spoke, a trace of anticipation flashed through her eyes.

Yue Zhao smiled honestly. “It’s my little junior sister. She got the seeds. I heard Peak Master Fang was troubled by this matter, so she came to deliver them personally.”

Got the seeds?

Fang Mingyue’s eyes lit up and she immediately looked at Yun Jin.

Yun Jin didn’t beat around the bush and directly took out a storage pouch. “The seeds inside should be enough for Bright Moon Peak to plant.”

Fang Mingyue hurried to check.

Sure enough.

Whether the variety or the quantity, the seeds fully met Bright Moon Peak’s needs.

Something she wasn’t able to solve, but Yun Jin solved it so easily?

Fang Mingyue’s gaze toward Yun Jin became different.

Could this disciple really be some kind of reincarnated prodigy?

Yun Jin spoke again. “Peak Master Fang, these seeds come from Baicao Pavilion. If you want them, they’re not free. There’s a contract here. If you think it’s acceptable, you may accept it. If not, I’ll return it to Baicao Pavilion.”

A contract from Baicao Pavilion?

Upon hearing this, Fang Mingyue actually found it more reasonable.

She accepted the contract and examined it carefully, her eyes quickly revealing surprise and delight.

This contract… was very generous. So generous that it was almost excessive.

She originally prepared for Baicao Pavilion to take advantage of the situation. But this contract…

Fang Mingyue couldn’t help herself asking. “Why would Baicao Pavilion rather offend the sect master and still go through with this deal?”

Yun Jin smiled. “Merchants, by nature, pursue profit. The sect master forcibly forbade them from supplying seeds, do you really think those merchants are all willing to submit? Those without backing might not dare resist. But an organization like Baicao Pavilion, which spans the entire continent, do you think they’d really fear him?”

Fang Mingyue’s gaze flickered.

No, something was still off. According to this contract, Baicao Pavilion didn’t stand to gain much profit at all. So much for the idea of merchants chasing profit!

She looked at Yun Jin and suddenly realized.

Baicao Pavilion’s main business was in spirit plants.

So what would they value most? Naturally, spirit plants.

And how do you get a large amount of spirit plants?

You need botanists!

The Yun Jin before her was precisely a terrifyingly talented botanist.

Baicao Pavilion must have placed their bet on her future, which was why they were willing to give her this favor and willing to go against Zhao Wuji and continue supplying them seeds.

Yue Zhao saw Fang Mingyue’s expression and knew she arrived at the conclusion he wanted her to reach.

He couldn’t help but smile slightly. “My little junior sister indeed put in considerable efforts to make this happen.”

Fang Mingyue nodded repeatedly.

Yun Jin might be a genius, but she was still weak. To get Baicao Pavilion to risk offending a sect master for her, who knows how many promises she had to make. Did she perhaps even sell herself to Baicao Pavilion?

Fang Mingyue felt inexplicably moved. She took Yun Jin’s hand and said softly. “I’ll sign this contract. In the future, if there’s anything within my power, I won’t avoid it.”

Fang Mingyue didn’t promise to unconditionally support Heavenly Sword Peak.

If Bright Moon Peak only had her, that would be one thing. But she still had many disciples to consider.

But to Yue Zhao and Yun Jin, this promise of “within my power” was already enough.

Once Heavenly Sword Peak got through the crisis coming in two months, that “within my power” could become “doing everything possible.”

“Thank you, Peak Master. Then I’ll head to the next peak,” Yun Jin smiled slightly.

She and Yue Zhao bowed again, then left.

Watching Yun Jin’s well-mannered exit, Fang Mingyue Long Yicouldn’t help but feel emotional.

This Yun Jin really did have clear distinctions between affection and enmity.

Yue Zhao brought Yun Jin on to the next peak.

They avoided Invincible Body Peak where Long Yi resided and headed directly to Thousand Talisman Peak. But on the way, Yue Zhao still gave an explanation. “You probably know of Long Yi. He specializes in body refinement. Cultivators below Fusion Stage can’t even break his physical defenses. It’s said he achieved this by bathing in fresh spirit beast blood over many years. That’s why Senior Ling Fei dislikes Long Yi the most and has forbidden all Invincible Body Peak disciples from approaching Spirit Beast Pavilion. If you fight Long Yi in the future, beware of his close-combat ability.”

Yun Jin nodded. Body refinement, huh…

That was indeed a promising path.

Ordinary cultivators only trained spiritual power and soul, so they were most afraid of close combat. But the demon race seemed to train both power and body.

Yun Jin was also the same.

Although her body was gradually strengthened by spiritual power, compared to true body refinement cultivators, there was still a big gap.

But for her to bathe in fresh spirit beast blood? She couldn’t do that. Fresh meant harming spirit beasts on the spot.

Yun Jin knew she couldn’t bring herself to do something like that.

When passing Invincible Body Peak, Yun Jin paused. She faintly seemed to smell the scent of blood.

She couldn’t help but ask. “This kind of body refinement method, does Senior Bai Yu allow it to happen?”
