The Cultivation Method of Junior Sister is Unscientific - Chapter 133. Seeds, Seeds

After adding the task of connecting with Yang Hui to her agenda, Yun Jin continued her seclusion to refine pills.

This time, she planned to produce a batch of various useful pills, especially the Yellow Dragon Pills. These hard currency items were in high demand both in the market and for her personal use, so the more, the better.

Yun Jin secluded herself for half a month, producing large batches of various pills before finally emerging.

She first sought out Yue Zhao, handing him a storage bag filled with pills.

Yue Zhao briefly examined the contents, his expression changing.

This… these were all pills?

How did it seem that Little Junior Sister’s pill-refining speed was becoming increasingly unscientific?

“Senior Brother, all of these can be sold. As for quality, they’re all perfect grade,” Yun Jin said with a yawn.

Yue Zhao forced himself to appear composed and calm, responding, “Good. I’ve already informed Pavilion Master Chen that we might have new pills coming in, so he should be mentally prepared.”

“That’s good,” Yun Jin chuckled, then asked, “Senior Brother, do you know much about Peak Master Yang Hui from Spirit Tool Peak?”

Yun Jin’s peculiar smile made Yue Zhao give her an odd look, but he still replied, “Peak Master Yang Hui is proficient in tool refinement and has already become a fifth-rank tool refiner. He once crafted a heaven-grade magical treasure. Although it was of the lowest tier, it’s enough to prove his ability.”

A fifth-rank tool refiner…

Yun Jin rubbed her chin. “What’s his personality like?”

Yue Zhao raised an eyebrow. “Have you ever seen a fence-sitter? The kind that bends whichever way the wind blows.”

Yun Jin immediately understood. “I see, he’s a pragmatist.”

“Peak Master Yang Hui is quite interesting,” Yue Zhao added. “On the surface, he’s best friends with Huo Lie and always helps the Sect Leader. Occasionally, he’ll even make sarcastic remarks about Master. But from what I know, he’s secretly assisted Celestial Sword Peak behind the scenes. However, he’s discreet about it, probably not wanting others to know, so you should pretend you don’t know either.”

Yun Jin nodded in understanding.

It seemed Yang Hui’s personality was primarily cautious and self-preserving.

“Senior Brother, what do you think?” Yun Jin paused. “If I were to ask him to teach me tool refinement, would he agree?”

“Absolutely impossible!” Yue Zhao said firmly. “He would never openly associate with us in any way. If you were to approach him, you’d likely be turned away.”

Is that so?

Yun Jin pondered this.

Yue Zhao looked at her curiously. “Little Junior Sister, why the sudden interest in learning tool refinement?”

He wanted to say:

Don’t you already have enough on your plate?

Sword techniques!

Cultivation techniques!

Pill refining!

Isn’t that enough?

Do you still have time to dabble in tool refinement?

“I don’t really want to,” Yun Jin sighed, deciding not to hide anything. She took out the Tai’a Sword. “Today I opened an ancestral ring. The ring was originally given by a cultivator who, by chance, was saved by our ancestor when in peril. This ring was his gesture of gratitude. When I opened the ring these past few days, I discovered this sword inside.”

Yue Zhao looked at Yun Jin’s ring, suddenly understanding.

This ring had previously been concealed by some technique; he couldn’t detect anything unusual about it at first glance.

Now that Yun Jin had opened it, he could see that it was indeed a storage ring.

Yue Zhao, also fond of swords, took the Tai’a Sword and examined it closely.

His expression soon changed slightly.

This sword was likely no ordinary weapon.

Although its grade wasn’t high, it gave the impression of concealing something extraordinary beneath the surface.

Yun Jin didn’t let Yue Zhao guess. She explained directly, “This is a sword that can grow. As long as suitable ores are found and combined with tool refinement techniques, it can be upgraded repeatedly. Theoretically, if continually refined, even heaven-grade or saint-grade isn’t out of reach.”

Could it really be so?

Yue Zhao’s first reaction was amazement.

The next moment, he hesitated.

That might be true, but for this sword to upgrade, the demands on the owner’s tool refinement abilities seemed too high.

To forge it to heaven-grade, wouldn’t the owner need to become a tool refinement master?

If it were Yue Zhao himself, there would be absolutely no hope. He’d be better off finding another ordinary but higher-grade magical weapon.

But…

Little Junior Sister’s case…

Yue Zhao stared intently at Yun Jin.

Logic told him that Yun Jin already knew more than enough.

Besides pill refining and cultivation techniques, if she turned out to be a tool refinement prodigy as well, what hope was there for anyone else in this world?

However.

Yue Zhao noticed that the sword had already been bound to Yun Jin, meaning Little Junior Sister had already made up her mind to upgrade it!

Little Junior Sister seemed to have some confidence in the path of tool refinement.

Yue Zhao’s thoughts raced.

If that was the case, they really needed to pay Yang Hui a visit.

For no other reason than Spirit Tool Peak possessed the earth fire formation necessary for refining spiritual tools and magical treasures.

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

The market had tool refinement workshops, but with the current undercurrents there, it would be too dangerous for Yun Jin to go.

Yue Zhao thought for a moment, then suddenly said, “Little Jin, there’s something you don’t know about since you were in seclusion.”

“Please tell me, Senior Brother.” Yun Jin listened attentively.

Yue Zhao spoke slowly, “Except for Long Yi and Huo Lie, who still handed over control of their spirit fields to Zhao Wuji, everyone else has reclaimed their spirit fields according to the contract. After this, Zhao Wuji did two things. First, he removed all the spirit plants from the spirit fields, regardless of whether they were mature or not, or how old they were, leaving each peak with just empty plots of land.”

Yun Jin nodded. She already knew about this.

“Second, he contacted all nearby seed suppliers. Without spirit plants, each peak needs to replant. When they try to contact various seed suppliers to purchase seeds, they’ll discover that these suppliers are all refusing to sell to them.”

“During your half-month seclusion, the spirit fields of each peak have remained barren, with only a few scattered seeds from their reserves being planted. The peak masters have requested our help, and I’ve already sent Ye Cheng to assist them.”

“But even the cleverest housewife can’t cook without rice.”

Yue Zhao paused meaningfully as he finished speaking.

“Senior Brother?” Yun Jin looked at Yue Zhao, somewhat puzzled.

Seeds shouldn’t be a problem, should they?

They were now in a business alliance with the Hundred Herbs Pavilion. As long as Yue Zhao spoke up, at least the Hundred Herbs Pavilion’s seeds should be available.

Yue Zhao smiled. “The Hundred Herbs Pavilion doesn’t know we’re disciples of the Tianxing Sect, so after the Sect Leader spoke to them, they also stopped supplying seeds to the Tianxing Sect. If I were to speak up using my Ren Woxing identity, I could indeed get the Hundred Herbs Pavilion to lift the blockade.”

When Zhao Wuji spoke, the Hundred Herbs Pavilion felt that the profit from seeds wasn’t significant enough to risk offending a sect leader.

But if he spoke up, it would be different. Given their cooperative relationship and the Hundred Herbs Pavilion’s status in the Azure Blue Nation, they originally didn’t need to be too wary of Zhao Wuji.

“So?” Yun Jin looked at Yue Zhao, somewhat confused.

Yue Zhao smiled and said slowly, “Junior Sister, this is a matter I cannot resolve. Only you, emerging from seclusion, can solve it. You are the only one who can help the various peaks.”

Yun Jin was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood.

Senior Brother wasn’t resolving this issue because he was waiting for her to come out of seclusion.

He wanted to hand over the task of winning people’s hearts to her!
