Chapter 237: An Ancient Core Drug
“Senior Brother Lian Kun, your good intentions are appreciated.”
Although He Jin felt that Lian Kun was being shaless, he nevertheless hid it very well. “I will have a good chat with him regarding this matter.”
“But whether or not he listens to is not within my control... After all, whatever he did was not in contravention of the sect rules,” He Jin said.
Lian Kun shook his head and smiled. “Junior Brother He must be joking. You’re the Autumn Valley Head. If you personally tell him, how could Zhou Donghuang, as an Autumn Valley disciple, possibly dare to disobey your words?”
“Senior Brother Lian Kun, young people these days can’t compare to what we were like in the past. Each and every one of them have their own opinions... if we were in the past, would you and I dare to do this if we had his ability?” He Jin retorted with a question.
Lian Kun turned silent.
If he were younger and had the counterfeiting capability of the Autumn Valley disciple, Zhou Donghuang, even if he knew that counterfeiting could make him rich, there was absolutely no way he would do what Zhou Donghuang did.
Although doing so was not against the sect rules, it would offend many people.
When he was young, his ambition lay in attaining the position of the Sumr Valley Head. If he offended many people and they created obstacles in his way, forget about the position of the Sumr Valley Head, he may not even be able to stay alive until now.
He thought to himself, “Within the sect, others dare not ss around with you. But once you leave the sect?
Is it possible for you to stay in the sect for the rest of your life?”
Lian Kun had just left when a floating, travel-worn and womanly figure landed in the courtyard of He Jin’s residence. It was none other than He ngxi, who had just returned from elsewhere. She was Zhou Donghuang’s Third Senior Sister.
“You were away for so long this ti. Where did you go?” He Jin smiled and asked with indulgence in his eyes.
“I went out and walked around.”
He ngxi casually skimped on the details. Naturally, she could not possibly tell her father that she had gone to investigate Junior Brother Zhou Donghuang’s background. After all, his words about the dream world seed way too vague and without substance.
“Father, why is Senior Uncle Lian Kun here? As far as I can rember, I’ve never seen him co to visit you in the Autumn Valley,” He ngxi asked curiously.
“He’s here because of that Little Junior Brother of yours.”
As the Autumn Valley Head, He Jin was well aware that He ngxi addressed Zhou Donghuang as her “Little Junior Brother.”
“He’s here because of Little Junior Brother?”
He ngxi was startled. Instinctively, she then asked, “Could he be here to steal away our talents? Is he trying to get Little Junior Brother to join the Sumr Valley?”
After going to Ziyun in the Kaiyuan galaxy this ti, you could say that she had investigated Zhou Donghuang’s background thoroughly... upon investigating, she had been shocked!
On a planet that had such scarce resources for practice, she could not believe that this Little Junior Brother of hers had attained the skills he had today within such a short period.
Furthermore, that Little Junior Brother of hers had previously killed a newly-minted Dharma adept when he had been a Golden Essence adept!
As a Dharma adept herself, she knew of the gap between a Dharma adept and a Golden Essence adept, the closest beneath it. It was an impassable chasm...
No matter how weak a Dharma adept was, it was impossible for a Golden Essence adept to kill him or her.
At least, in the history of the Lightning Sword Sect, the Tielao planet, and the Hengliu galaxy, a Golden Essence adept killing a Dharma adept was unheard of.
This had already subverted what she knew.
It was precisely because of this that she felt she could not look upon her Little Junior Brother as a typical Golden Essence adept. Subconsciously, she found him incredibly outstanding.
This was why she had instinctively asked her father at this mont whether the Sumr Valley Head was here to steal away their talents.
“Steal away our talents?”
He Jin went blank for a mont. Shortly thereafter, he shook his head and said, “No. He ca to request that I visit that Little Junior Brother of yours and tell him not to counterfeit goods of the Sumr Valley people in the future and get people to sell these counterfeits to them.”
“Counterfeit goods?”
He ngxi froze. She had just returned and was unaware of the incident that had happened a month ago and had caused a sensation in a large part of the Lightning Sword Sect.
However, following He Jin’s explanation, she quickly understood the entire sequence of events.
At the sa ti, she also found out about the Sumr Valley Head Lian Kun’s objective in coming here this ti.
“He... he even had such a talent as counterfeiting...?”
He ngxi didn’t know if she should laugh or cry. However, at the sa ti, her eyes flashed coldly at an apt mont. “But how dare that Sumr Valley disciple, Pan Yilin sell counterfeit goods to Da Zhuang and bully him?
Where did he get that kind of courage?!”
When she found that Da Zhuang had been cheated, He ngxi was obviously very angry.
“My dear daughter, that Little Junior Brother of yours has already helped Da Zhuang take revenge for this incident. You can say that everything has co to an end... just let it end like this.”
He Jin was having a slight headache. Of course, he understood his own daughter better than anyone else did. Given her temper, she would definitely help Da Zhuang regain the respect he was due.
“There are certain things that you must do on your own for your anger to dissipate,” He ngxi said.
“As for what Little Junior Brother did this ti, I think that it was very satisfying... Father, you can’t actually be intending to look for Little Junior Brother to tell him not to make counterfeit goods and sell them to the Sumr Valley people, right? You can’t do such a thing! If you go looking for him, I’ll fall out with you!”
He ngxi said this to He Jin with seriousness written all over her face. As for the latter, he also agreed repeatedly. In his heart, he could only silently apologize to the Sumr Valley Head, Lian Kun.
“I’m going to look for Little Junior Brother and Da Zhuang.”
After greeting He Jin, He ngxi left again in haste.
However, she only managed to find Da Zhuang.
Zhou Donghuang was practicing in his own room.
He ngxi did not intrude on Zhou Donghuang’s practice session. She imdiately greeted Da Zhuang, shouting, “Da Zhuang, let’s go! Co with to the Sumr Valley to look for that Pan Yilin!
How dare he cheat one of my people?! He’s way too audacious!”
He ngxi’s eyes flashed coldly. She said this in a low voice while staring straight in the direction of the Sumr Valley.
Although within the Lightning Sword Sect, disciples of the sa sect were prohibited from fighting with each other without cause or reason... putting aside the fact that there was no evidence to prove that Pan Yilin had sold counterfeit goods to Da Zhuang, even if he had done so, it still complied with the rules of the sect. This incident could not be a reason for her to cause trouble for Pan Yilin.
But who was He ngxi?
The daughter of the Autumn Valley Head, He Jin, and his only daughter at that!
Given her identity, even if she actually hurt soone, the Law Enforcent Hall could not possibly do anything to her for real even if they caught her, as long as what she had done did not reach a certain level of severity.
It was to the extent that the sons and daughters of the Valley Heads, such as He ngxi and Liu Lang, caused the most trouble for the Law Enforcent Hall. On top of that, they were the only daughter and the only son of the Valley Heads.
Even if He ngxi and Liu Lang went to the Law Enforcent Hall, the people there would still treat them with respect, as if they were their ancestors.
“Hehe... Senior Sister, no need for that.”
Da Zhuang shook his head and smiled foolishly. “Little Junior Brother has already helped vent my anger and take revenge. I no longer feel cheated now. I’m not angry either.”
“You blockhead.”
He ngxi shook her head. “Since you’re not going, I’ll go alone!”
The mont she finished her sentence, she swiftly flew off and left again without waiting for Da Zhuang to speak. She left the Autumn Valley directly and headed towards the Sumr Valley.
He ngxi was a person who protected the weak.
A large part of the reason Zhou Donghuang respected her in his past life was precisely because of the manner in which He ngxi protected the weak; it made him feel like he was ho.
During that period of ti, he felt a strong sense of security.
It was if Third Senior Sister would hold up the sky for him even if it caved in.
“Pan Yilin, get out here!”
After going to the Sumr Valley, He ngxi asked around and found out exactly where Pan Yilin lived. She headed straight there and shouted sternly. Her voice was so loud that it traveled across a large area.
“It’s He ngxi!”
“Pan Yilin, that guy... He was insensible and offended He ngxi?”
...
Many people of the Sumr Valley ca out to take a look. All of them recognized He ngxi.
However, even though so of the Sumr Valley elders saw that He ngxi had co in full fury, they did not intend to interfere at all. Each and every one of them pretended not to see anything.
“Senior... Senior Sister He?”
Pan Yilin had been in his room practicing when He ngxi woke him with a start. When he awoke, his complexion was deathly pale as well. Initially, he did not intend to go out, but when he thought of the fact that He ngxi may simply tear his residence apart if he did not go out, he had no choice but to rouse his courage and go out.
“I hope that Senior Brother Lian can co forward as soon as possible... otherwise, I definitely won’t be able to escape a beating from Senior Sister He.”
Pan Yilin walked out of his room grudgingly. He flew up into the air and looked afar at He ngxi, who was floating in mid-air in the distance. He braced himself and greeted her, “Hello Senior Sister He.”
“Pan Yilin, you’re a real piece of work. You even dared to deceive Da Zhuang.”
He ngxi glanced aningfully at Pan Yilin and said, “Looks like you have no respect at all for , He ngxi.”
“Senior Sister He, you... you’ve misunderstood.”
Pan Yilin smiled bitterly and said, “That incident was a misunderstanding. The nine-ringed bamboo I sold to Dazhuang was genuine. It was not counterfeited. I...”
He ngxi interrupted Pan Yilin and asked coolly, “You an to say that... that Da Zhuang is the one who maligned you?”
“I... I...”
Upon seeing He ngxi’s gaze harden, Pan Yilin only felt his scalp turn numb. At the sa ti, he felt that a beating would probably be inevitable. He only hoped that this Senior Sister He would be rciful and refrain from being too violent.
Of course, death or disability would definitely be out of the question.
On this point, he still trusted that He ngxi would know her limits.
And at the precise mont that He ngxi’s Qi flew out of her body and condensed into a trendous Tiger Dharma Power in preparation for her attack on Pan Yilin.
White Tiger Dharma Power.
A figure appeared while floating in the air and stood in front of Pan Yilin.
“Junior Sister ngxi.”
The person who had appeared was none other than the direct disciple of Sumr Valley Head Lian Kun, Lian Can.
Lian Can was not only the direct disciple of Lian Kun, but he was also Lian Kun’s adopted son. He was an orphan whom Lian Kun had picked up elsewhere, brought back and taken in. He was given the sa surna as Lian Kun.
In reality, Lian Can was younger than He ngxi by three years. However, he had slightly more martial talent than He ngxi did. Although he was younger than He ngxi, his level of practice did not pale in comparison to He ngxi’s.
“Lian Can, this matter has nothing to do with you.”
He ngxi frowned and shouted in a deep voice, “Move aside!”
...
Zhou Donghuang did not know that his Third Senior Sister had already returned. Right now, he was completely imrsed in practice.
The core drug that he had refined was known as “Developing Essence.” It was a kind of ancient core drug.
He had chanced upon the recipe for the core drug in his last life at an ancient ruin after he had entered the Heavenly Stage.
It was the product of the efforts of the ancient people. It had gone missing a long ti ago in the boundless universe.
The Developing Essence could forcibly condense Dharma Power for a Golden Essence adept in a short period.
Of course, during this process, it was necessary to set up an energy-gathering position to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth without restraint. Coupled with the effect of the Developing Essence, the Golden Essence would develop into Dharma Power.
“Four Developing Essences, the effect of each to enter one Golden Essence each... I wonder if I’ll be able to cause the Dharma Power of the Four Heavenly Beasts to appear!”
Zhou Donghuang felt a sense of anticipation.
