Chapter 268
Chen jingzhai brought su qingluan to Mingyue city. The two of them immediately canceled the lease of the original Moonview restaurant. They brought the property contract to the main street and found the manager to make a record.
That day, the signboard of the full moon restaurant was hung in the prime location of the main street. Chen jingzhai even summoned tu Ruoyan, Hong Yu, and the other girls over, leaving only the girls of the Liu family in the cave.
They hadn’t reached the foundation establishment stage yet, so they were temporarily cultivating in the full moon Cave. The full moon restaurant needed manpower, so the eight beautiful maidservants of Chen jingzhai had come over. Liu Qingxue became the full moon cave’s housekeeper.
Not only that, but Hong Xiu also went to pick more handymen, all of whom were beautiful and plump female cultivators. There were a total of 21 of them, all of whom were Qi refining cultivators who had been bought out.
From now on, these female servants belonged to Chen jingzhai. Even if he killed them, no one would care. Of course, Chen jingzhai would not do something like killing female servants. He was just a little guilty.
It was not Chen jingzhai’s idea for Hong Xiu to pick only female cultivators, but every time he saw su qingyue’s half-smile, he couldn’t help but blink.
He had lived two lives, and he had just had a taste of meat. His spirit of being an L-P had not disappeared yet. He felt as if his deep-rooted bad habits had been exposed. Fortunately, su qingluan did not say much and took over the responsibility.
After the Moonview restaurant was set up, Chen jingzhai and su qingluan had also refined the dragon and phoenix rings. They went to the floating cloud dojo together to pay a visit to senior brother Fu Yunzi.
“Alright!” Fu Yunzi looked at the two of them and sighed,”very good!”
Chen jingzhai’s success in forming the Golden core was within his expectations, but nothing strange happened. At first, he thought that something had gone wrong, but now he didn’t think so.
He was a demigod true venerate, so he couldn’t see through the divine stone’s cover. However, just by looking at Chen jingzhai’s face and aura, Fu Yunzi knew that Chen jingzhai’s core formation must be of high quality, and he didn’t disappoint him.
Although he did not understand why Chen jingzhai was able to cover up the unusual phenomenon, since he had already covered it up, Fu Yunzi would not probe too much into it. He would just tell the outside world that he had helped to cover it up.
As for su qingyue, she was his Junior Sister and a cultivator of the same generation. Of course, she was many years older than su qingyue, but he had also watched her grow up.
It was great that she could get rid of the shackles of her cultivation technique and avoid the end of her life.
“Are you going to hold a Dao-companion banquet?” Fu Yunzi asked.
“It’s fine.” Chen jingzhai shook his head.”We’ll just invite our friends for a drink. It’s not convenient for senior brother to come, but you can give me any gifts you have now.”
“You!” Fu Yunzi could not help but laugh,”you have the inheritance of the true venerate, and you don’t lack spiritual treasures. Your net worth is so high that it makes people drool. Why do you have to act like a profiteer? are you afraid that I’ll scheme against you?”
“Senior brother, you’re a Walker. You work for the ninth Meridian. It doesn’t matter if you plot against me.” Chen jingzhai chuckled.”As long as I can make a profit, I’m fine with it. I need a lot of resources when I have more people under me.”
“If that’s the case, how about I give you the right to directly supply the ninth Meridian of pills?” Fu Yunzi said,”in the future, you can directly sell the pills you refine to the ninth branch’s Punishment Hall.”
“What are the conditions?” Chen jingzhai raised his brows and asked. He didn’t believe that a free lunch would fall from the sky.
“To nurture alchemists and blacksmiths,” Fu Yunzi laughed,”in a hundred years, we need at least 50 second-grade alchemists and blacksmiths, and 10 third-grade alchemists and blacksmiths.”
“Senior brother, don’t you think too highly of me?” Chen jingzhai forced a smile.”I’m only rank-3.”
“You were able to refine third-grade elixirs and third-grade magic weapons when you were only in the foundation establishment stage.” Fu Yunzi looked at him with a smile,”now that you are a golden core, your attainments are naturally higher. Furthermore, you have a hundred years.”
“Senior brother doesn’t let me have any free time at all!” Chen jingzhai shook his head. It wasn’t easy for him to have 100 years of free time.”Four third-grade alchemists and four blacksmiths.”
“Oh?” Fu Yunzi looked at him,”can I really?”
“Since Junior Brother agreed, he must be confident. However, I need to add some conditions,” Chen jingzhai said.”The spiritual herbs and plants of the ninth Meridian must be open to me.”
“Anything below the fourth grade is fine,” Fu Yunzi nodded,”to tell you clearly, the ninth Meridian is preparing for its own pill refining Hall and weapon refining Hall. If you can succeed, the benefits will not be small.”
The 11th bloodline was in charge of the sect’s pill refinery Hall, while the 12th bloodline was in charge of the sect’s Weapon Refinery Hall. Logically speaking, the ninth bloodline did not need to do anything unnecessary, but they knew their own business.
The purpose of establishing the pill refinery Hall and the weapon Refinery Hall was not to obtain pills and magic tools, but to avoid the consumption of too many resources and to prevent people from cutting leeks. It was also a measure to win over the hearts of people and expand their Foundation.
The 11th and 12th branches also agreed. The main reason was that there were too many cultivators below the fourth grade and they would consume a lot of resources. The pill refinery Hall and the weapon Refinery Hall would not be able to cope.
Taking alchemists as an example, a fourth-grade Alchemist’s treasure pills were not 100% successful, but the quantity and quality were guaranteed. However, he could not keep making third-grade treasure pills.
Not to mention the alchemist’s own pursuit, the sect also hoped that he could refine more fourth-grade spirit pills. However, the sect needed more third-grade treasure pills, so they had to ask a fourth-grade Alchemist to help.
This resulted in a huge waste of resources. For the 11th and 12th meridians, it was a relief and a reasonable distribution for the main meridians to share the workload below the fourth grade.
Naturally, Chen jingzhai would not miss out on something that would benefit him, so he immediately agreed.
After having a cup of spiritual tea with senior brother Fu Yunzi, Chen jingzhai brought su qingluan back to the Moonview restaurant. Then, he sent out a communication Jade slip to invite his friends for a small gathering.
That night, Zeng wangbei came over. He was very excited to see Chen jingzhai and pulled him to drink. He was particularly interested in what happened after Chen jingzhai became the top in Dao seeking.
Chen jingzhai’s rise was too fast, and Zeng wangbei left in a hurry, so he had only heard bits and pieces of what happened after that. Now that he saw Chen jingzhai, he naturally had to ask him properly.
In particular, Chen jingzhai had obtained true venerate ning’s inheritance and even plotted against a perfected Lord of Donghai. Zeng wangbei had once thought that the rumors were false, and he couldn’t imagine how Chen jingzhai had succeeded.
Even though he had confidence in Chen jingzhai, the difference between a foundation building cultivator and a perfected cultivator was so great that it was despairing! In the end, Chen jingzhai won. One could imagine how shocked Zeng wangbei was.
Chen jingzhai chuckled and did not go into too much detail. He only pointed out a few key points. Naturally, he would not reveal his trump card, but even so, it made Zeng wangbei’s heart race.
Before he could finish, Ji Shuanghua brought three female cultivators from the hidden sects over. Lu Tao also brought his good friends from the hidden sects. The house behind the moon Pavilion suddenly became lively.
Chen jingzhai took out his own wine gourd and some fruits from the Archean world to serve everyone. The female cultivators were in the garden, while the male cultivators sat on the ground at the side without any restrictions.
“Why haven’t Qiao Haisheng and the others returned to the sect?” Chen jingzhai asked.
“They have their own opportunities,” perfected Lu Tao said with a smile.”They are from one of the three major sword lineages, so they naturally have to join the iron sword lineage. According to the rules of the iron sword lineage, the disciples of the hidden lineage have to start from the immense Forest City on foot. They also have to take on missions from the iron sword Pavilion on the way.”
“This is the treatment for inner disciples,” Zeng wangbei said enviously,”the iron sword vein values them and specially opens the sword travel path. The three of them are indeed geniuses from the sword vein.”
The so-called sword travel route was actually a tour of the pulao region. During this process, the soul formation true venerates of the iron sword sect would secretly design the route and arrange some things to test the three geniuses.
Some were deliberately designed, while others happened naturally. Everyone’s direction was different, and the things they experienced were also different. Not to mention twenty years, it was normal to not come to the sect for fifty years.
Zeng wangbei was envious because of the importance and nurturing.
As long as the three sword range disciples returned safe and sound, they would definitely be taken in by the elders of the iron sword lineage and become inner disciples.
As for the sword travel path, it belonged to the iron sword lineage. The other four main lineages did not have such a test and arrangement. It was a pity that Zeng wangbei was an array master. Otherwise, he would be even more jealous.
Although he did not stay in the outer sect for long, it was still a step away from becoming an inner sect disciple. Zeng wangbei was one of the three great geniuses at the inverse peak, so how could he be willing to accept this?
Fortunately, it was all in the past, and he was not in a bad state. He also knew the difficulty and pain of the sword travel path. It was not something that ordinary people could bear. Even he might not be able to withstand it.
“This is a good thing!”
Hearing this, Chen jingzhai smiled and said,”the edge of a sword is formed through hard work. The more suffering there is, the sharper it will be. If there is anything to be gained, even a little bit is an accumulation. We should congratulate them.”
“Not bad!”
“Well said!”
“Raise your cup!”
Everyone laughed and drank to their heart’s content. When the cold wine entered their throats, everyone cheered.
In fact, apart from Zeng wangbei, most of the people were a little depressed. After all, they were all outstanding in the hidden sects, but they were only outer disciples in the allheaven immortal sect. This difference was very shocking.
Usually, he would not be able to relax and chat like this. He would be very focused on his cultivation, and his days would inevitably be a little depressing. Now that he had drunk some good wine, his heart was filled with joy.
Regardless of whether it was the outer or inner sect, they were more comfortable than the disciples of the three great sword lineages and had better opportunities than the other disciples of the hidden sects. The only thing they could do now was to work hard and keep up with everyone’s footsteps.
Chen jingzhai chuckled as he filled everyone’s cups with wine. He listened to everyone talk about what had happened after they entered the sect, as well as what had happened when they were in the hidden sect.
Not long after, li Yueli and Pei Dong ‘er came to visit.
