“Second Master, a Heaven-Grade Cultivation Technique, and a complete set at that! Can you believe it?”
Zhou Chen’s excitement was palpable; she still felt as if she were dreaming.
Recalling this period, Spirit Pills, Spirit Stones, Spiritual Artifacts…
Things she wouldn't even dare to dream of before were now within her grasp!
Zhou You chuckled, “What’s there for me not to believe? I was the one who got them for you, right?”
Zhou Chen hugged Zhou You’s arm, smiling as she looked up, “It’s so good to have Second Master.”
Zhou You said proudly, “That’s natural. I am your grandfather’s brother, so of course, I have to take care of my own Bloodline.”
“But don’t get too happy too soon.”
Zhou You’s tone shifted, “A Cultivation Technique is a Cultivation Technique, but how to Cultivate it is the real problem.”
A Cultivation Technique is like an extremely rudimentary house; one can live in it.
But if one wants to make this ‘house’ beautiful and more comfortable to live in, that’s not an easy task.
Countless Spirit Stones, Spirit Pills, and other Cultivation resources.
This is a bottomless pit!
Possessing a good Cultivation Technique at most only means you have the potential to embark on the path of a strong practitioner.
Please remember, it’s only a possibility.
Do you really think getting an Advanced Cultivation Technique means you’ll succeed just by Cultivating it casually?
The path ahead is difficult.
Haven’t you seen how many people in the mundane world can’t even reach the Spirit Connection Realm?
The Zhen Xuan Realm is their dream!
Zhou Chen’s eyes narrowed into crescent moons; she was just happy and didn’t care about future matters.
“However.”
Zhou You pouted, “Your grandfather also has his considerations. I gained a lot during my time in the wild; I have many Spirit Stones.”
How much did Mountain Chicken King, Black Bear, and Dog Fugui divide?
Seventy to eighty percent of it was still in his hands.
Zhou Chen giggled, “Second Master is the best.”
She now felt that everything Second Master gave her was acceptable, and she would repay it tenfold, a hundredfold in the future.
They were all one family, so why speak of two?
As for Zhou You, his considerations were very simple.
It was too difficult for his own Cultivation to Breakthrough.
The resources consumed during his hundred years on the mountain were simply unimaginable.
If he really couldn’t do it, it would be better to directly nurture the Zhou Family members, let them Breakthrough, and then he would only need to enjoy his later years.
Why bother making himself so tired?
Isn’t that foolish?
When the time comes, with his wife and children by his side, how could he not be happy?
“In any case, the attitude towards Cultivation must still be serious.”
Zhou You’s expression became a bit more serious, and after thinking for a moment, he added, “I suddenly came down the mountain and was promoted to an elder, and I don’t even know how to be an elder yet. Oh, right, is this how your grandfather usually educates you?”
Zhou Chen said with a giggle, “He’s much stricter than you.”
Zhou You mused, “Then I’ll go find Big Brother and learn seriously later.”
Zhou Chen skipped forward, feeling that she had never been as free and happy as she was now in her life.
Although Second Master was also a master, he was truly different.
Though an elder, he was also like an elder brother.
She liked this feeling.
The two returned to the inn together. Zhou You truly didn’t bother with matters outside.
After returning, he sent the old dog back to the previous location to scout, to see if they could wait for Ma Chuang’s accomplices.
Ma Chuang truly looked like a wreck during this time, even his meals were three meals in eight days.
All actions were to prevent him from recovering, always keeping him half-dead.
Ma Chuang weakly looked up at the three people sitting in the hall, feeling that he had truly been unlucky for eight lifetimes. If he hadn’t met these guys, his business could have continued.
“Sir.”
Ma Chuang trembled, “Could I have some water?”
Zhou You glanced at him, “You’d best pray your accomplices come back, otherwise, your suffering will continue for a while longer.”
Ma Chuang licked his chapped lips, his heart also filled with bitterness. “Although… although I am a captive, I am still a Human, am I not? Just for the sake of being fellow Humans, please give me some water.”
Zhou You ignored him directly.
Ma Chuang then looked at Zhou Chen, “Kind young lady, you are so beautiful and kind-hearted, please pity me.”
Zhou Chen was upright and the most soft-hearted, but she also deeply detested Ma Chuang’s actions. Hearing this, she snorted coldly and turned her head away.
Ma Chuang was about to say more when Xiao Jing walked over and directly slapped him, rendering him speechless for a long time.
“What terrible luck.”
Ma Chuang cursed inwardly. The strategies he learned from “The Plum in the Golden Vase” had just begun to show some power, and he was already caught.
He wondered if that woman would come back.
If she really didn’t, he might truly not survive.
When dusk fell, the old dog rushed back, throwing a woman heavily onto the ground, “Only she returned to that place.”
The woman had some charm.
Zhou You observed her for a moment, then suddenly realized, “I’ve seen her before. She even tried to hit me with a wooden stick, but she missed.”
The woman was quite surprised, “It’s you!”
She also remembered that at the time, her bosom was half-exposed, but this guy only glanced at her and left.
The woman hurriedly said, “Young Master, you and I have no grievances or grudges, why did you capture me?”
Zhou You pointed at Ma Chuang.
The woman didn’t recognize him at first glance, but after careful identification, she exclaimed, “Ma Chuang!”
The old dog kicked the woman to the ground, “Now you know why you were captured, right? Speak, where did you send the people you sold this time?”
The woman shouted, feigning bravery, “Do you know who I am?!”
Zhou You slowly said, “Evil Cloud Pavilion, he already confessed.”
Ma Chuang anxiously said, “Just tell them quickly, where were the people you sold this time sent?”
The woman scolded, “What nonsense are you talking about? I am a respectable woman, I don’t know you at all.”
Ma Chuang cursed angrily, “Are you stupid? They know everything, why are you still pretending, you bastard? Hurry up and tell the truth.”
Xiao Jing drew his short sword, “Let’s disfigure her face first, I don’t believe she won’t talk.”
As the short sword approached, the woman recoiled in terror, “I don’t know, I just sent the people to Xiliang City. After I collected the money, I went to a shop and played with a male escort for a night, then I came back!”
Ma Chuang angrily rebuked, “You still had the mood to play with a male escort?!”
The woman’s face paled, “Isn’t money for spending? What did I do wrong?”
“It seems you won’t shed tears until you see the coffin.”
Xiao Jing said coldly, the short sword pressed against the woman’s cheek.
The woman screamed in terror, “Don’t, don’t! I rely on my face to make a living. Gentlemen, I’m truly telling the truth, and we never ask where the people will be sent!”
The short sword turned, its sharp edge cutting her skin.
The woman screamed in terror, “The contact person! I accidentally saw the contact person’s waist token. His waist token has a ‘Sun’ character, he should be from the Sun family in Xiliang City!”
