Chapter 181 Qingxuan's Promise
Zhao Qingxuan took the Spirit-Boosting Pill, and the rosy glow on her face became even more pronounced.
These elixirs were all warm to the touch, and there was no doubt that Lu Qingyun had successfully refined them in just two short hours.
The quality is exactly the same as the previous Spirit-Boosting Pills, with no difference whatsoever; every single one is of superior quality.
"It actually...it really was him who created it!"
Zhao Minglan's heart pounded as she looked at the still-burning spiritual fire on the lovely pink alchemy furnace, her face flushing with embarrassment.
"These pills are all top-grade. What you said earlier, junior brother, was true. You really didn't lie to me!"
Zhao Qingxuan murmured to herself, her red lips slightly pursed. She never expected that the crisis that had been troubling her so deeply would suddenly take a turn for the better.
Zhao Qingxuan stared intently into Lu Qingyun's eyes, and she no longer doubted him.
We must make sure he joins the Zhao family.
As long as we have him, as long as we can cultivate a pseudo-second-tier alchemist who is half-step into Foundation Establishment, even if my Zhao family does not have a Foundation Establishment True Person, we can still find a glimmer of hope under the pressure of the Zhang family's Foundation Establishment!
Yes.
The Zhao family is in a very dangerous situation.
As one of the two oldest families in Danfeng, they have lost a Foundation Establishment cultivator in this generation, and there are very few half-step Foundation Establishment cultivators. They can't even produce a pseudo-second-tier alchemist.
Otherwise, why would the Zhao family be so anxious to send her to Lingzhi Peak to contact those people in order to counter the Zhang family?
The Zhang family has now implicitly reached a deal with Beast Taming Peak. If they cannot break this deadlock now, the Zhao family will surely be swallowed up and destroyed!
"Junior brother, if you are truly a newly arrived disciple, I am willing to hire you as an alchemist in this Bright Moon Pavilion for five hundred spirit stones per month. Would you be willing?"
Zhao Qingxuan did not hastily invite Lu Qingyun, but instead spoke sincerely and took a gradual approach.
"In the meantime, whatever pills you wish to refine, you may use all the medicinal herbs here. Just keep half of them as payment for the herbs, and the rest will be yours."
Zhao Qingxuan's gaze was gentle as water.
"Of course, if you are willing to join the Zhao family, I am willing to vouch for you as the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, and I will provide you with all the resources you need before you reach the half-step Foundation Establishment stage!"
"Is Senior Sister a member of the Zhao family?"
Lu Qingyun feigned confusion, looking around. He carefully scanned the interior decoration before suddenly realizing:
"I wondered why this Bright Moon Pavilion was so elegant and refined. Just look at the wind chimes outside the door—they were top-grade magical artifacts, something no ordinary person could possess. It turns out that Senior Sister is actually the rumored eldest daughter of the Zhao family of Dan Peak!"
"Disrespect, disrespect."
However, a hint of hesitation then appeared on his face.
"But my junior brother's cultivation is too low; how can he deserve my senior sister's praise..."
"No, junior brother, you're overthinking it. In fact, even if senior sister didn't say anything, others would see your talent in the future!"
Zhao Qingxuan stared intently at Lu Qingyun.
"Even if Junior Brother is unwilling to join the Zhao family, Senior Sister's promise to you that you can use any of the spiritual herbs in Mingyue Tower is no empty promise."
"Can I really use these elixirs at will...?"
Lu Qingyun looked at the spiritual herbs in the cabinets around him, a longing appearing in his eyes.
"Yes, although Senior Sister doesn't have much power now, she can still freely use the Bright Moon Pavilion and its storehouse containing thousands of mid-grade spiritual herbs and tens of thousands of low-grade spiritual herbs."
Zhao Qingxuan spoke decisively, then handed over a token.
"This is my Zhao family token. With this token, junior brother, ordinary people will never cause you trouble. Even though my family and the Zhang family have some conflicts, the two families have tacitly agreed not to attack each other."
"Junior brother, you can take it back and consider it. In any case, the conditions I promised you will not change. In fact, if your cultivation breaks through in the future, I can bring you even more resources."
Lu Qingyun took the small token, which had the character "Zhao" engraved on it and the image of Danfeng on the back. The token was warm and still carried Zhao Qingxuan's body fragrance.
Zhao Qingxuan's promise was incredibly generous; the spiritual herbs in Mingyue Tower alone were worth tens of thousands of spirit stones.
If Lu Qingyun were truly a naive new disciple, he might actually be moved by Zhao Qingxuan.
But he wanted more; he needed more.
This world.
Lu Qingyun had no intention of halting his cultivation; he wanted to reach the half-step Foundation Establishment stage as quickly as possible, and then attempt to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.
And this is naturally not something that a mere Mingyue Tower can satisfy.
Therefore, he cupped his hands and smiled, saying:
"I understand Senior Sister's intentions, but I hope you will allow me some time to consider it. I will give you my answer regarding joining the Zhao family in seven days."
"Okay, I'll wait for you, junior brother. I'll definitely give you a deal that will satisfy you."
A gentle smile appeared on Zhao Qingxuan's face as she met Lu Qingyun's gaze.
Lu Qingyun smiled and took some more mid-grade spiritual herbs from Mingyue Tower. Zhao Qingxuan did not ask why Lu Qingyun needed such expensive spiritual herbs just now when he was inducing Qi into his body.
She hadn't even intended to accept Lu Qingyun's spirit stones, but Lu Qingyun still gave them to her.
Watching Lu Qingyun's departing figure, Zhao Qingxuan blinked.
"I'm afraid this Junior Brother Lu is even more extraordinary than I imagined."
"Miss, so did he agree?"
"I don't know, I can't see through him, but I can sense the confidence in his eyes. Minglan, pack your things, I need to go see Father immediately. When he comes next time, I must be absolutely certain that he will agree."
……
Inside the cave.
Lu Qingyun toyed with the Zhao family token in his hand.
"Just as I expected, Zhao Qingxuan's courage and poise are just like in my previous life. Upon seeing the talent I displayed, she was immediately willing to offer all the conditions she could."
"This time, I not only gathered all the resources I needed to refine a hundred mid-grade pills, but I also obtained the Zhao family's token and the opportunity to leverage the Zhao family's influence."
"It's fortunate that I have the excuse of 'all meridians are open,' otherwise, I would really have to waste time explaining how quickly I could draw qi into my body."
Lu Qingyun tapped the bamboo chair lightly, pondering the matter of purchasing spiritual herbs, and made sure there were no oversights.
The talent he displayed was neither too outrageous to attract attention, nor too unconventional, but rather designed to maximize the chances of the Zhao family cooperating with him.
"I imagine that by the time I left, Zhao Qingxuan had already reported this matter to the Zhao family. I hope the Zhao family will be as sensible as Zhao Qingxuan and give me suitable conditions. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to find another way to cooperate with others."
"Actually, upon closer reflection, I do have a choice. If I remember correctly, Zhang Tianlie, the second son of the Zhang family, also wields considerable power and is a good partner."
Lu Qingyun chuckled softly.
Now that the spiritual herbs have been gathered, it is time to refine a hundred mid-grade pills to perform the ritual and break through to the perfect stage of Qi Refining.
then.
Lu Qingyun waved his hand.
A full hundred mid-grade spiritual herbs immediately appeared before my eyes.
Yes, refining five furnaces at the same time is far from his limit!
Ten dazzling clusters of spiritual fire floated in the air; this was indeed it.
The void is the furnace, and ten furnaces are used for simultaneous refining!
