Although Zhu Wenhua was full of resentment towards Zhu Wuan, his family had been more or less implicated during this period of time because of Zhu Wuan.
His mother, who was nearing the end of her life, had no choice but to drag her old body to Huoyuan Peak to process the medicinal herbs. He and his wife were also affected. They lost a few good jobs and earned a lot less spirit stones. The family’s life was somewhat tight.
Moreover, ever since Zhu Wanzi was punished, Zhu Wuyan had never seen them in the past few months. All in all, it was understandable that Zhu Wenhua was in a bad mood.
However, when he saw Zhu Wuan apologize and thought about how Zhu Wuan had been ridiculed by the three major factions of the Hundred Poisons Sect these days, the higher-ups of the clan seemed to have given up on him after they could not find a solution.
Zhu Wuyang was only in her teens this year, not even a fraction of his age. The damage to her foundation was not intentional.
Even though Zhu Wanzi had no obligation to guide Zhu Wuan on the path of immortality, it was indeed a dereliction of duty not to realize that Zhu Wuan had long entered the path through martial arts. Their family was not completely innocent.
Zhu Wenhua felt ashamed after considering all these things. He hurriedly invited Zhu Wuyang back to the living room and sat down.
At this time, Zhu Wenhua’s wife, Liu Xihong, also received the news and came to serve tea to the two of them.
Liu Xihong was beautiful. Although she could not compare to those peerless beauties in the palace, she had an ethereal aura that belonged to an immortal cultivator, which added a bit of charm. She was quite suitable for Zhu Wenhua.
Zhu Wenhua wasn’t good at talking. After chatting for a while, he had nothing to say. He went to arrange a place for Zhu Wuyang to stay and asked his wife, Liu Xihong, to accompany Zhu Wuyang while waiting for Zhu Wanzi to return.
It was not until late at night that Zhu Wanzi dragged her exhausted body back. When she saw Zhu Wanwan, she was pleasantly surprised.”Are you alright? You came out of the stone tower?”
“Yes, Grandaunt.” Zhu Wuan nodded and said somewhat guiltily, “”I haven’t come to see you during this period of time. I don’t know what happened here. Please forgive me.”
Zhu Wanzi smiled. ” I know what you mean. You’re afraid that I’ll be targeted by the Zhen Clan, so you didn’t come, right? ” Grandaunt has already heard from others that Zhen Ji has been monitoring you inside and outside the stone building. He even got people to suppress you. Fortunately, you managed to deal with it. ”
” I’m useless and don’t dare to argue with Zhen Ji. The family is being suppressed by the Zhen family now, so I can’t spare anyone to help you. You’ve been trapped in the stone building for so many days. It’s fine as long as you don’t blame me. ”
Upon hearing Zhu Wanzi’s words, Zhu Wenhua and Liu Xihong finally understood what was going on. They felt even more ashamed. After all, they had thought that Zhu Wanwan was cold and didn’t even come to visit Zhu Wanzi.
Just as Zhu Wanwan was about to speak, Zhu Wanzi asked again, “” How’s Zhen Ji? Did he cause you any trouble when you left the stone tower? ”
“No, I haven’t.” ” No. ” Zhu Wuan shook her head. ” Zhen Ji wasn’t around when I left. Even the people who were watching me left, so I didn’t encounter any trouble. ”
Zhu Wanzi frowned. ” I see. But they will soon find out that you have left. They will definitely come to monitor you. ”
” Therefore, you have to stay at Dazhu Peak for this period of time. Don’t leave at all costs, lest they find an opportunity to take advantage of you. I will go and find the higher-ups of the family to see if they have any way to deal with Zhen Ji and his group. ”
“No need.” Zhu Wanhao shook his head hurriedly. ” I can still handle this matter. Grandaunt, you don’t have to worry about it. At most, I’ll just stay in the stone tower for a while longer. Besides, as long as it’s not a Foundation Establishment cultivator who comes to deal with me personally, I’m not afraid. Zhen Ji can’t do anything to me. ”
Although she really wanted to say that Zhu Wanwan had underestimated Zhen Ji and was bragging, Zhu Wanzi still advised gently, “” Don’t underestimate Zhen Ji. Although he was tricked by you in the stone tower, his strength is still pretty good. He is firmly ranked in the top ten among the Hundred Poisons Sect’s Qi Condensation cultivators. It will be very difficult to defeat him. ”
” The Great Pillar Peak is the main residence of my Zhu Clan. He probably won’t do anything here. You just need to stay here peacefully. ”
” There are Foundation Establishment experts from our Zhu Clan standing guard a thousand meters away from here, ” Zhu Wenhua added. ” Zhen Ji definitely wouldn’t dare to be presumptuous here. ”
“I understand.” Zhu Wuyang nodded and suddenly changed the topic. “”Aunt, are you working at Huo Yuan Peak now?”
Zhu Wanzi was stunned for a moment and then said awkwardly, “” That’s right. Grandaunt has also been practicing alchemy for decades. Unfortunately, she still hasn’t stepped into the ranks of an official alchemist. So far, she’s only an apprentice alchemist, so she can only do some chores like handling medicinal herbs and rarely concoct pills. Especially as she gets older, Grandaunt can’t even concoct pills that aren’t spirit pills. ”
“Grandaunt, actually, I have quite a good talent in alchemy. Can you let me work in Huoyuan Peak as well? Even if I have to work as an ordinary handyman?” Zhu Wuyang asked.
Becoming an Alchemist was something that Zhu Wanhao had considered when she was in the stone building. This wasn’t to waste time and slow down her cultivation speed. On the contrary, it was to earn more Breakthrough Stones so that she could break through faster in the future.
This was because after becoming an alchemist, Zhu Wuyan would be able to obtain all kinds of natural treasures and rare herbs by refining pills for others. At that time, he only needed to keep a portion of them and consume them to bring a large number of breakthrough stones to Zhu Wuyan.
Zhu Wanhao believed that with the Special Encounter System in his hands, his improvement in alchemy would definitely not be slow. The success rate of alchemy would also exceed his imagination. This way, he would naturally be able to save a large number of natural treasures and exchange them for precious herbs.
In the process of refining pills, Zhu Wuyang could also obtain a lot of breakthrough stones.
Compared to the consumption of improving his alchemy skills, Zhu Wuwan believed that his gains would be greater.
Therefore, when Zhu Wenhua told her that Zhu Wanzi was an apprentice alchemist working at Huoyuan Peak, Zhu Wanwan had an idea.
Not only would this allow Zhu Wuyang to embark on the path of alchemy and earn a lot of breakthrough stones, but it would also help Zhu Wanzi.
Therefore, although Zhu Wanzi’s request seemed a little abrupt, it was actually within reason. However, it left Zhu Wanzi and Zhu Wenhua’s family dumbfounded. They did not understand what Zhu Wanzi meant.
“You’re fine. You ??Are you kidding me?” ” You haven’t learned anything about alchemy, have you? ” Zhu Wanzi asked in surprise. ” Are you sure you want to go to Huoyuan Peak? ”
Zhu Wanhao nodded seriously and raised the Medicine King Ceremony he had obtained from the royal library to the Perfection Realm. He had stepped into the peak realm of the mortal world’s alchemists, or rather, the level of top-notch mortal alchemists.
” Great Aunt, I actually have another identity in the mortal world. I’m a top-notch mortal apothecary! “
