Chapter 776 - 529: Leaving Again

"With your spirit body, even if it needs repair,

the centennial stalactite from before, plus the heart blood of the Foundation Establishment Medicine Beast, are enough for you to go further.

Now that you’ve quickly broken through to the late Qi Refining Stage, how could you be stumped by that previous batch of herbs?

If you were really stumped, you wouldn’t have taken it out."

Master Zhang said slowly.

No wonder he has such a deep teacher-student bond with Zheng Yi and truly understands Zheng Yi’s character.

Zheng Yi has always been the type to make careful plans before taking action, never placing his fate in the hands of others.

"I’ve been planning to go out for some experience within this half-year. After I return, I should be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage."

Zheng Yi slowly told Master Zhang.

With this teacher,

he could share some heartfelt words.

Upon hearing this, Master Zhang slightly opened his lips and nodded gently: "Half a year is not long, don’t worry."

Master Zhang spoke again, "In the period you’re away, these old bones of mine can still protect all the people at your mansion."

"Thank you, Master Zhang."

Zheng Yi said, taking out a storage bag with his right hand.

Handing it to Master Zhang, "I hope that within this half-year, Master Zhang’s cultivation can go further, becoming the fastest-breaking Foundation Establishment expert in the family.

Master Zhang, you don’t need to worry, as long as your strength doesn’t surpass the ancestor.

They will turn a blind eye.

After all, whether it’s Master Zhang or myself as an Alchemist, we’ve long been deeply entangled with the Wang Family, and no longer need to tread carefully as if walking on thin ice."

Seeing Zheng Yi say this, Master Zhang’s eyes showed complex emotions, not expecting to be advised like this by his student one day, yet his heart was filled with warmth.

He felt comforted: "Then I will borrow your good fortune."

Master Zhang said leisurely, accepting the storage bag and sweeping it with his divine sense, revealing the Three Treasures Spirit Pill, Top-grade Yellow Dragon Pill, and other elixirs needed for cultivation in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Master Zhang looked at these and his gaze fell back on Zheng Yi: "Looks like my student skimmed off quite a few good things while practicing alchemy before.

Could it be that your alchemy skills have improved again?"

Zheng Yi chuckled, "Just human affairs, after all, these are Wang Family’s things, it’s always good to leave some leverage for oneself."

Zheng Yi chuckled lightly.

Master Zhang laughed heartily, nodding: "This is indeed my good disciple, the one I am most proud to have taught."

"When do you plan to leave?"

Master Zhang suddenly asked again.

Zheng Yi thought for a moment: "Probably in the next few days.

In the Wang Family, only by breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage can I find more footing."

"Good."

Master Zhang agreed without hesitation.

Zheng Yi thought to himself, before leaving the Celestial South Market, he must visit the Celestial Treasure Pavilion.

Only then.

Can he clarify the reason for publicly requesting herbal materials, using it to cover up the spirit body pretense, otherwise, the suspicion with the Wang Family would deepen further, which he does not want to see.

Even for the sake of the few wives at home, Zheng Yi is unwilling to leave such hidden dangers.

...

Great clouds, like shadows, stretched across the sky above the Celestial South Market’s Celestial Treasure Pavilion, with a heavy rain seeming imminent.

Like the surrounding guests, Zheng Yi walked steadily into the pavilion.

As soon as his figure appeared, Liu Ruyan greeted him with a charming smile.

"Are the preparations done?"

Zheng Yi asked with a smile.

"To answer the young master, it is all prepared."

Hearing this, Zheng Yi felt delighted and quickly followed Liu Ruyan to get them.

"Paying for goods on delivery, roughly two mid-grade spirit stones."

Zheng Yi’s gaze fell on Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan smiled and nodded: "Young master calculated correctly."

Instead of using mid-grade spirit stones to pay, Zheng Yi took out two hundred low-grade spirit stones, placed them in the storage bag, and handed them to Liu Ruyan.

After Liu Ruyan verified them, she walked back towards Zheng Yi.

At this moment, the two were in a small room, which was considered a guest room.

Looking at Liu Ruyan with a shy smile and blushing cheeks, Zheng Yi vaguely understood something.

He glanced around and found no one else indeed in the guest room.

Suddenly, Zheng Yi smiled wryly.

Celestial Treasure Pavilion’s staff, backed by this powerful entity, even ordinary maids are not easily provoked by regular cultivators.

But Zheng Yi is an exception, being an Alchemist and about to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, in the eyes of these maids in Celestial Treasure Pavilion, he might be a rare "hot commodity."

Seeing Liu Ruyan’s bashful expressions.

Stepping lightly towards him, Zheng Yi’s suspicions grew stronger.

...

In the second-floor room, the Profound Light Treasure Mirror reflected the situation in Zheng Yi’s room.

Bai Yu continued to disguise herself as a man.

She glanced at Sun Ming beside her and smiled slightly: "Want to make a bet?

Let’s bet on whether this young master Zheng Yi, the Wang Family’s Third Elder from Piaomiao Mountain, can withstand Ruyan’s temptation.

Ruyan is the most gifted among this batch of girls in our Celestial Treasure Pavilion, if she can commit to the Wang Family’s Third Elder from Piaomiao Mountain, it wouldn’t be shabby."

"Moreover, with the current might of the Wang Family, they do have the ability to protect her."

Bai Yu eloquently explained the betting scenario.

Sun Ming gazed at Bai Yu’s side face with silky eyes, as if enchanted: "This young master Zheng Yi, the Third Elder from Piaomiao Mountain, is indeed talented, with exceptionally high aptitude in alchemy.

And to be so highly regarded by the Wang Family Ancestor is indeed remarkable.

Unfortunately, the first hurdle for young people is often lust.

This Wang Family Third Elder, though previously distinguished, has not devoted much effort to cultivation. If not for his exceptional talent in alchemy, he might have become unremarkable by now.
