Jiang Zuo took the Moon Tear Bead. Just like the last one, it was a low-quality product.
Looking at the Moon Tear Bead, Jiang Zuo was actually quite curious. Where on earth did this person get a Moon Tear Bead?
How many more did he have?
But Jiang Zuo had no other plans for them. It wouldn’t matter how many more Moon Tear Beads he had. Using the sa type of energy too often would make it less effective for his cultivation of the Innate Chaotic Qi.
He had to use a combination of sources. A mix of the Five Elents Power and the Essence of Sun and Moon was best.
Jiang Zuo then went into the group chat and @’d Liuyue Xue. "Fairy, I need so Spirit dicine. Can you give a price list?"
He then sent a list of the Spirit dicines he needed, many of which couldn’t be bought in normal pharmacies.
This ti, Jiang Zuo didn’t plan on using ordinary herbs to enhance the Moon Tear Bead’s quality.
Advancing from Realm 1.3 wasn’t easy. He needed a deep blue Moon Tear Bead.
He was also counting on the Moonlight Power to convert into Cultivation. If it strengthened his Innate Two Qi instead, Jiang Zuo would want to spit up blood.
A long ti passed, but no one in the group replied.
Jiang Zuo was surprised. ’Where did everyone go today?’
Then, soone with the nickna Chu Qing replied to Jiang Zuo: "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, Fairy Liuyue Xue went to do a face-slapping livestream. They all went to watch."
Only then did Jiang Zuo rember that sothing like that was supposed to happen.
’But, wasn’t that supposed to be yesterday?’
’It was probably postponed until today.’
Jiang Zuo had no choice but to ask, "How long are they going to be at it?"
Chu Qing: "Fellow Daoist, you can check the chat history. My mom’s calling for dinner. I gotta go, I still have howork to do later."
Jiang Zuo was dumbfounded. ’What was that all about?’
’Howork?’
’Is this an elentary schooler? Or a middle schooler? Surely not a high schooler, right?’
Just then, soone else finally appeared.
Yang Mu sent a shocked emoji: "Isn’t that little Chu Qing? How dare they call our Boss Po Xiao ’Fellow Daoist’? Are they looking for a spanking?"
"How old is little Chu Qing this year? Seven or eight? I heard they’re already at Realm 1.3. That’s a bona fide genius. All of you from the Perception Departnt, don’t you feel ashad?" Chi Xue Child also chid in.
Jiang Zuo’s face darkened. ’Seven? Eight?’
He had subconsciously treated the other person as an adult.
Chi Xue Child sent another ssage: "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, Fairy Liuyue Xue is busy showing off right now, so she doesn’t have ti to be on her phone. Let see if I have what you need. I’ll send it over. Where are you?
As for the price, forget about it. Just consider it a thank-you gift for the Red Sword."
In truth, these herbs weren’t cheap. Jiang Zuo had been planning to use that Fifth-Grade Spirit Stone to buy them.
But since Chi Xue Child insisted it was a thank-you gift for the Red Sword, Jiang Zuo naturally accepted.
"Have them delivered to Tianhe Group for . I’ll go pick them up later."
"No problem. They should arrive in about an hour. Don’t forget, Fellow Daoist."
Blade Master Hai Bian asked: "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, did you see that commission? The one for those below Tier Two. I hear it’s really for a trip to a Secret Realm. With your knowledge and strength, you’ll probably go, right?"
Po Xiao: "No. Gu Jiansheng’s fox is missing again. This ti it’s a bit tricky."
Liu Yiyi sent a slightly exaggerated reaction image, with two words on it.
"Wait, Xiaoli’s troublemaking always happens at intervals. How long has it been this ti? Did sothing actually go wrong?"
Chi Xue Child: "According to my records, Xiaoli usually goes into hiding every sixty to ninety days. This ti is truly abnormal."
Fairy Mo Yan: "You people have way too much ti on your hands."
Xiao Xiaomo sent a disdainful look emoji: "Not as much as you. You reported it and publicized it everywhere just for the ’Fairy’ title."
"You could use it too, Fairy Xiaomo."
"..."
The topic imdiately went off the rails.
After that, Jiang Zuo lost interest in paying attention.
He looked at Gu Jiansheng and said, "Did it act strangely before it disappeared?"
Gu Jiansheng thought for a mont, then shook his head. "No, nothing out of the ordinary."
Jiang Zuo played with a coin, letting it spin continuously on his fingertips.
Jiang Zuo had originally wanted to try and see which direction the Three-tailed Fox had gone, but he unexpectedly felt a sense of powerlessness.
That was truly rare. It seed sothing was protecting the fox.
The difficulty was unprecedented.
"I’ll give you an answer tomorrow." With that, Jiang Zuo left, coin in hand.
He really couldn’t give Gu Jiansheng an answer right now.
The corner of Gu Jiansheng’s mouth twitched. ’He really just left? Just like that? This guy is as detestable as ever.’
After leaving Gu Jiansheng’s house, Jiang Zuo went straight to the Tianhe Group building. He wasn’t there for the Spirit dicine, but to ask the guys from Perception No. 1 for help.
When Jiang Zuo arrived at Perception No. 1, he was surprised to find the three of them playing cards.
’No wonder these guys are scrubs. Instead of using their free ti for Cultivation, they’re playing Fight the Landlord.’
Chen Yi gave an awkward smile. "Brother Zuo, what can we do for you?"
Jiang Zuo nodded. "I was wondering, do you have a map here? A map of the whole city."
Xiao Xiaomo asked, "Brother Zuo, are you looking for Xiaoli?"
"I want to try, but the chances are probably low," Jiang Zuo said.
The chances were indeed very low, but he wanted to see if he could find anything at all.
They then put away their cards and projected a map of the entire city.
Jiang Zuo frowned. The map’s scale was a bit large.
That ant he could only search for a general area.
Jiang Zuo then tossed the coin into the air. His eyes stayed fixed on it, but just as it was about to land in front of him, he stopped paying attention. He didn’t even check the result after it fell.
"No direction at all. How did it manage that?" Jiang Zuo muttered to himself.
Although Jiang Zuo’s Cultivation wasn’t high, with that fox’s abilities, it shouldn’t have been able to hide so completely—so completely that he couldn’t even find the slightest hint of a direction.
Chen Yi asked, "Brother Zuo, no leads?"
Jiang Zuo shook his head. "None. I’ll just have to wait until tomorrow."
Jiang Zuo then returned to Marketing Departnt Two. He needed to think.
Divination was a mysterious and profound art. While it was indirectly related to his Cultivation, an increase in a minor realm wouldn’t affect it.
Therefore, trying to improve his divination by leveling up was unlikely to work at the mont.
While Jiang Zuo was thinking, soone ca up to him and asked, "Fellow Daoist, I see your Cultivation isn’t at Tier Two. Want to team up and take that Secret Realm commission?"
"I heard a rumor that this Secret Realm commission might have so unexpected gains, and the reward for completing it is pretty good too."
Jiang Zuo had read the details of the commission. They had to find a type of herb, and the commission would be considered complete once each person handed one in.
Not only would you get Spirit Stones for completing it, but anything else you found along the way was yours to keep.
Even if you failed, you wouldn’t lose out, as you would just have to split whatever you found in the Secret Realm.
It was indeed a commission where you’d profit no matter what.
But Jiang Zuo didn’t have ti, so he ignored the person.
Seeing that Jiang Zuo didn’t even acknowledge him, the person didn’t say anything more and just left, feeling snubbed.
Xin Linglong gloated at his expense. ’That guy is super hard to get along with. Trying to strike up a conversation with him is just asking for humiliation.’
Just then, Jiang Ran suddenly ca in. He walked straight up to Jiang Zuo. "Got a minute? Co to my office."
