C13 Conquer the Maidservant's Fragrance
This man was sitting in the main seat of the main hall. He was dressed in an extravagant black robe and had a dignified air about him that seemed like he had lived for a long time. He was nodding to Zhen Fu and the other Patriarchs from time to time.
When Zhen Fu saw Zhen Yinjian enter the room, he hurriedly stood up and said with a smile.
"Ah, grandnephew Xian, come, let me introduce you. This is the patriarch of our Zhen Mansion, Zhen Yong. The Patriarch has been in seclusion for ten years, and I'm afraid you have not seen him either. "
Zhen Fu guided him towards the imposing man sitting in the main seat and said with a smile,
"This is the genius younger generation Zhen Yinjian that I told you about, he is from the Erwu family."
"Oh, you are the brat that beat Zhu Liu to death. You sure are impressive!" Chief Zhen Yong coldly laughed as he spoke with an unfriendly expression.
"Patriarch, do you have any doubts about how I deal with Third Housekeeper?"
"That's nothing. If a distant relative dies, so be it. Remembering that your father once did something for me, he was very sensible. " Zhen Yong smiled as if he had something else in mind.
"Patriarch, please bear this in mind. I came here to collect the incense stick's slave certificate from the Elder."
"Nephew Xian, the family's slave certificates are all from the head butler. You have to discuss this with the family head." Zhen Fu smiled.
"Then would it be convenient for the Patriarch to give nephew some face?" Zhen Yinjian cupped his hands.
"This Lotus Fragrance is not bad. I plan to marry her to my fourth son as a concubine. I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about it." Zhen Yong had an indescribable smile on his face.
"Zhen Yong, what do you mean? The lotus fragrance was bought by my father, so it should belong to me. Zhen Yinjian's face darkened.
"Impudent, you are just a lowly lackey. How dare you speak to me like that, do you want to die? Do you think you're great just because you have spiritual roots? "Let me tell you, I'm about to break through to the truth realm. What's a so-called genius like you worth compared to me?"
Zhen Yong suddenly exploded. He slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Zhen Yinjian.
"I don't care if you're in the True Prying Stage or not. If you don't hand over your slave certificate to me this year, don't blame me for being impolite!" Zhen Yinjian's anger rose. In his entire life, he had never lowered his head to anyone!
"Nephew Xian, Ah Yong, this small matter is not enough to anger you. We are all from the Zhen family, don't let others see it as a joke." Zhen Fu and a few other Patriarchs beside him immediately tried to comfort him. Of the two, one was the future star of the Zhen Clan, and the other was the Patriarch who supported the Zhen Clan.
"Get the hell in here, Zhu Hong!" Zhen Yong shouted, then the main butler ran in. Following the Patriarch's instructions, he brought a servant certificate for Lotus Incense and casually threw it on the ground.
"Take it and f * ck off." Zhen Yong sneered.
Zhen Yinjian's eyes were as cold as ice as he pointed at the head of the family. Even this great Connate realm expert was shocked.
"Humph!" Zhen Yinjian sneered as he turned around and left with a roll of slave certificate.
Zhen Fu and the rest of the sect elders felt a sense of sorrow and shook their heads. Who would have thought that the two most powerful people in the Zhen Mansion would create such a huge gap?
"You dog, put on airs in front of me. If it wasn't for me coming here for the lotus, I wouldn't have killed you!" Zhen Yinjian cursed in his heart. He had almost cursed the family head, Zhen Yong, for eight generations.
Zhen Yinjian, who was carrying a servant, walked to the front of the room and knocked on the door as he said in a low voice.
"Xiang Xiang, are you there?" "I am a pretty girl!"
"Who is it!" He Xiang opened the door and saw Zhen Yinjian, who was standing at the entrance, with a happy expression on his face.
"Gongzi, you're so naughty, why are you playing with the lotus."
"Lotus Incense, come take a look. I've brought something for you." Zhen Yinjian smiled as he took out the slave certificate.
As he received the slave certificate and looked at his name, Lotus's tears fell, rushing into his arms.
"Young master!"
Aroma permeated the air, the soft body leaned on his own body, Zhen Yinjian felt that his clothes were wet.
"Ding, congratulations host for completing the mission to conquer the beautiful lady, Lotus Incense — Releasing your identity, you have obtained 2000 task points. The host's affability level with the beautiful lady, Lotus Incense has increased."
Zhen Yinjian was very proud of the prompt reminder from the System.
"Hehe, Little Huo Xiang, you won't be able to escape now."
Over the next few days, Zhen Yinjian played around the streets with the beauties of the Lotus Fragrance, singing love songs and occasionally touching them. The young maid was slowly becoming ripe like a green apple.
"Gongzi, why did you bring me here?" He was taken by his mistress to a courtyard that was covered in fresh flowers.
There were quite a few servants nearby. The men and women formed a circle and looked at Zhen Yinjian expectantly.
"Come in, Lotus. I have something to tell you!" At this moment, Lotus looked around at the crowd with a look of envy and nervousness.
"Lotus, can you stay with me? I like you." Zhen Yinjian gently handed her a bunch of beautiful roses.
"Together, together, together." At this moment, the voices of the servants and the people below could be heard around them. The atmosphere was extremely lively.
"Young master, I like you too!" Although there were tears in the corner of her eyes when she received the rose, she smiled and leaped into Zhen Yinjian's arms.
"Beautiful girl, congratulations for obtaining 20,000 Conquest Points."
Hearing that he had obtained so many points of conquest, Zhen Yinjian laughed even more happily. F * ck, I can finally squander my money again!
Over the next few days, Zhen Yinjian chatted and played with his girls from time to time. He led a god-like life.
A person, Zhen Yinjian, was resting outside as if he was bored to death. He had been lying on a stone bed looking up at the sky for a long time.
"Young Master Zhen, it's been a long time since you went to see Miss Yunyun." A shy young maid had suddenly appeared beside him.
"Yunyun, how is Yunyun?" Zhen Yinjian was immediately shocked. He still felt a lot of guilt towards this girl who had a good personality but no looks.
"Yunyun jie hasn't been eating and drinking tea and has become much more haggard. Young Master Zhen, you should go visit her." The corners of the maid's eyes turned red.
"Okay, thank you." He shook the young maid's hand, got up, and left the room.
He was a forgettable person. He had been busy these past few days with girls, and had actually forgotten Zhen Yunyun, the little girl who had been disfigured in order to save him.
"Yunyun, I'm here, wait for me!"
Dong, dong, dong …
"Cough cough, who is it?" Zhen Yunyun coughed and got up from the bed. She was surprised to hear someone knocking on the door.
"It's me. Yunyun, are you okay?"
"Holy Zhen, why are you here?" Don't, don't come in, I'm afraid I'll scare you. " Zhen Yunyun's voice was joyful at first, then filled with fear.
The door creaked open and Zhen Yinjian walked into the room. There was the sharp smell of ointment in the room, and Zhen Yunyun covered her face with her sleeve.
"Don't look at me." Zhen Yunyun's body was trembling.
"Yunyun, let me see how bad your injuries are. Do you think I'm the kind of man that only likes to show off my face?" Zhen Yinjian said this, but he knew that he was such a person.
He sat in front of the bed and quietly pushed away the woman's hand. Looking at the dark ointment and scab on her face, he felt his heart ache.
Who would have thought that such an ugly woman could have such a brave side to her?
"Holy Zhen, don't worry. I won't bother you in the future. After all, I'm not good enough for you." Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes. Of course, this girl that wasn't pretty knew that Zhen Yinjian's status was far from what it used to be. Plus, her face was ruined and she was as terrifying as an ugly ghost.
Holding Zhen Yunyun's hand tightly, he felt a deep stabbing pain in his heart.
"Don't worry Yunyun, I won't abandon you. And your injuries, I will definitely cure them! "
"Holy Zhen …" Zhen Yunyun hugged the man in front of her, tears streaming down her face. She also didn't think that the person she loved wouldn't be willing to give up on her.
After comforting Zhen Yunyun to sleep, Zhen Yinjian, who walked out of his room, made up his mind.
"I want to concoct pills!"
"I will let all of you immortal masters know that I can save my woman with my own ability!"
Fury burned in his heart. Zhen Yinjian kept his word and started to scheme on how to forge pills.
It had to be said that refining pills was indeed a high and mighty thing. Alchemists were basically all Xiantian and above cultivators, because most of the high quality pills required the use of mana to refine.
The good news was that Zhen Yinjian had already reached the Innate Realm, and his own Indestructible body of the Divine Emperor's mana level was far above the same level.
The bad news was that he did not know how to refine pills. At the same time, the cost of refining pills was extremely high. It was not something an ordinary person could bear.
Well, things had to start a little bit. A few days later, Zhen Yinjian spent over a thousand taels of silver to buy a Basic Alchemy Manual from a merchant. Then he borrowed another fifty thousand taels of silver from the elder, making the group of old fellows turn green with anger.
This was the silver that Zhen Yinjian had only taken out from the group of Patriarchs after he exposed his true identity. He reckoned that the next time he wanted to borrow money, it would be impossible!
He spent 40,000 taels on a mediocre pill furnace and then spent the remaining 5,000 taels on herbs.
Needless to say, pill refining is a very expensive thing. 40,000 taels of silver for a broken pill furnace. One had to know that forty thousand taels of silver was enough to buy a decent house in Peace City.
Fortunately, this Basic Alchemy Manual contained a relatively basic medicinal pill, a Common Grade medicinal pill – Spring-Returning Pill. Otherwise, Zhen Yinjian would discover that he couldn't even find the recipe for the pill.
He carefully studied the "Spring-Returning Pill". This medicine could be considered very useful for mortals. It had a very good healing effect on injuries from falls, knife wounds and burns. Its efficacy far exceeded that of the "Spring Restoration Pill" from the pharmacy. Zhen Yinjian Hua's five thousand taels of silver was all on this medicinal herb.
