Chapter 27
Everyone Knows That You’re a Kind and Honest Man
Fang Jinyu first went to Spirit Beasts Valley to return the Core Spirit Elixir prescription. This time, he got to meet the king of black spirit pigs. However, for some reason, the king of black spirit pigs, the guardian of Tianling Sect’s spirit beasts, looked at him curiously.
After that, Fang Jinyu went to the peak of Mount Lingyao named “Li” to refine the Foundation Establishment Elixirs by using his spirit stones.
After all, he had to complete the mission first.
Hence, after three days, Fang Jinyu finally refined all the Foundation Establishment Fruits in his possession into elixirs. Since his success rate had already reached 90%, he obtained 213 Foundation Establishment Elixirs using around 20 Foundation Establishment Fruits!
After Fang Jinyu familiarized himself with refining Foundation Establishment Elixirs, he could refine at least ten elixirs per furnace.
After delivering the 110 Foundation Establishment Elixirs, Fang Jinyu finally finished the Grandmaster’s mission. Afterward, he couldn’t help but sigh in relief. However, he started to worry when he looked at the 103 Foundation Establishment Elixirs in his hands.
Fang Jinyu faced the difficult problem of dealing with the remaining Foundation Establishment Elixirs.
It was because the price of the Foundation Establishment Elixirs would skyrocket very soon. Fang Jinyu would expose not only his true success rate but also face a lot of trouble with having so many Foundation Establishment Elixirs.
“Since the Foundation Establishment Elixirs are too special, even the best sealing method can only keep their medicinal properties for two years.”
Fang Jinyu pondered. He had to think of a way to get rid of the batch of Foundation Establishment Elixirs.
After all, the Foundation Establishment Elixirs not only had unique medicinal properties but also had a special status in the cultivation world. Except for cultivators with the Tianling spiritual root, cultivators with other spiritual roots needed the Foundation Establishment Elixirs!
Furthermore, Fang Jinyu had not just 20 Foundation Establishment Elixirs but more than 100 Foundation Establishment Elixirs! Last time, he had attracted the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster’s attention by only contributing 20 Foundation Establishment Elixirs to the Tianling Sect. Although his current situation was special, the outcome would almost be the same.
“There are more than a hundred Foundation Establishment Elixirs here. I can use them to form a small sect….”
Fang Jinyu muttered to himself.
However, Fang Jinyu couldn’t bear to let his Foundation Establishment Elixirs be discarded after two years. Although the supplementary ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Elixirs were cheap, he had spent over a thousand spirit stones on them.
Suddenly, a talisman flew over, but since it didn’t have the privilege of the sect leader, it could only gyrate in front of the alchemy room.
Fang Jinyu looked and realized that Du Maner was looking for him.
It was because Du Maner had received the Messenger Talisman from him.
He entrusted the little girl to Du Maner and had her take care of the girl for a while.
“Could it be that my future benefactor is in trouble again?” Fang Jinyu raised his brows and quickly left.
Fang Jinyu hoped the little girl would cause as much trouble as possible. This way, wouldn’t she be embarrassed if she refused to repay his favor when she recovered her memory and strength?
In Fang Jinyu’s eyes, the little girl was his second investment. Its importance was only inferior to Du Maner.
He had asked Du Maner to take care of the little girl to find an appropriate reason to give her some Qi Condensation stage elixirs.
However, after Fang Jinyu left, he realized he had been wrong. The little girl behaved like an obedient child. She didn’t even go to a place far from where he was refining elixirs.
This time, Du Maner was personally looking for him.
Du Maner said as soon as she saw Fang Jinyu, “Martial Uncle, I know who spread the rumors about you last time!”
“How did you know?” Fang Jinyu was surprised and thought, “Is the cultivation world really that concerned with one’s appearance? Alright, I just admit it about the last time the cultivators who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage asked Du Maner to join their gathering and set a trap to cheat her. But how did Du Maner even find out about the person who spread the rumors this time?”
Back then, Fang Jinyu had specially asked the sect leader about the matter. However, the sect leader said he wasn’t clear about the matter either and even advised Fang Jinyu to give up on his thoughts of finding the truth. Because the sect leader believed that if the person dared to spread the rumors, he had already solved the consequences. Besides, the sect leader told him that there was no need to get angry over a rumor and waste his precious cultivation time.
Although the sect leader’s words weren’t true, they were kind of reasonable.
After all, Fang Jinyu was only an ordinary disciple in the Tianling Sect.
How could Fang Jinyu, a disciple without power, influence, or background, fight with someone with power, influence, and background?
Fang Jinyu couldn’t fight with his stubbornness, right?
“Martial Uncle, I got a strange mask. It serves as a camouflage for me to appear to be a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator and a key to joining the gathering of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. I accidentally entered the gathering with the mask and happened to hear someone mention it.” Du Maner told Fang Jinyu everything she knew. Since the fortune-telling technique, her trust in Fang Jinyu has skyrocketed.
“Martial Niece, it’s a good opportunity!” Fang Jinyu couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise. At the same time, he cursed in his heart, “The main character’s treatment is indeed ‘ordinary.’ Du Maner has unexpectedly obtained a mask and entered such a special gathering.”
Fang Jinyu knew of a few such gatherings but needed someone to guide him. However, with his ordinary status and no background, no one had come to get in touch with him.
If it was Xin Qianqian if she had broken through the Foundation Establishment… Someone would immediately guide her in a few days based on her background, which was somewhat related to an aristocratic cultivation family.
Usually, special gatherings were held by specific communities.
No matter how extraordinary they were, anyone who had nothing to do with the community, no matter how extraordinary they were, would not be accepted by the members of the community.
Thus, Fang Jinyu skipped the topic and went straight to the point. “Who spread the rumors?”
“It’s a person called Qin Haoyue.” Du Maner replied.
Fang Jinyu’s eyes flickered, and he thought, “Isn’t that the ‘overbearing president’ I met last time?”
Afterward, Fang Jinyu couldn’t help but smile.
It was because he just remembered that he seemed to have read about the plot about spreading rumors in the book.
After Su Yier had entered the Lingdu Secret Realm, a female cultivator was jealous of Su Yier because her crush bootlicked Su Yier. The female cultivator had provoked Su Yier a few times. Hence, when Qin Haoyue knew there was a problem with Su Yier entering the Lingdu Secret Realm, he decided to go all out and make the first move to gain the upper hand. Qin Haoyue immediately spread rumors and threw mud at the female cultivator.
Back then, Fang Jinyu had only skimmed through it since that part of the plot wasn’t related to his opportunity, and Su Yier took the initiative to do it.
“Can I come up with a way of fighting that aligns with the temperament of cultivators?”
Fang Jinyu cursed in his heart. He was really uninterested in such schemes.
After all, it wasn’t the harem of Su Yier. Fang Jinyu thought it unnecessary to put a scheme in place as the characters did in “Empresses in the Palace.”
“Has this guy already broken through the Foundation Establishment stage?”
“I heard from them that Qin Haoyue broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage after he left the Lingdu Secret Realm, and he’s currently consolidating his cultivation base. After consolidating his cultivation, the Qin family will hold a banquet for him.” Du Maner told Fang Jinyu everything she knew.
“Martial Niece, thank you for this. You can have this bottle of elixirs for now. A few days later, I’ll refine a furnace of elixirs suitable for you.”
“Martial Uncle, this bottle of pills is enough.” Du Maner was overjoyed. She had been so diligent and willing to help Fang Jinyu, not only because she had a good impression of him but also because he was generous.
Afterward, Du Maner glanced at Fang Jinyu and said hesitantly, “Martial Uncle, there’s one more thing about you….”
Fang Jinyu saw her hesitation and asked, “What is it? Just tell me.”
“The entire Tianling Sect is saying you’re a kind and honest man….”
