Chapter 142: A Request for Help from the North City District

After hearing the response from the Sound Transmission Talisman, Wang Jianqiang put it away.

With his specific instructions, he figured Tu Youyou would likely not make the same mistake again and let Wei Zhongxian go.

Thinking of this, he looked toward the North City District, a strange smile appearing on his face.

"Brother Wei, enjoy the rest of the assessment time."

……

"Daoist Friend Wang, please stay your steps."

Just as Wang Jianqiang was returning to his residence, a delicate, coquettish voice suddenly reached him.

What a moving voice!

What kind of beauty could possess such a stunning voice?

Wang Jianqiang's eyes lit up, a highly approachable smile spread across his face, and he turned to look.

A burly woman with a broad waist immediately came into view.

The woman's waist was at least three times as wide as his, with thick eyebrows, large eyes, a flat nose, and a dark beard longer than his own.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang's expression collapsed instantly.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang look over, the woman flashed a charming smile on her rugged face, "This little woman, Liu Ruyan, greets Daoist Friend Wang."

Wang Jianqiang remained expressionless and said coldly, "What advice does Daoist Friend have?"

Liu Ruyan raised her hand to brush the long hair on her forehead and said coquettishly, "I have long heard that you are helpful, and Yan'er would like to ask you to help refine some Pills. I wonder if you could do me a favor?"

"Wang is busy with cultivation and pressed for time; Daoist Friend should seek someone more capable." Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang shook his head and refused without a second thought.

After speaking, he strode away.

"Daoist Friend, I can pay you a reward."

Seeing Wang Jianqiang leave, the woman reached out a hand.

"No need."

Wang Jianqiang did not stop his steps, his cold voice drifting back.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan hurriedly added, "Daoist Friend, let's talk this over. If you are willing to agree, it would not be out of the question for Ruyan to engage in dual cultivation with you."

"Go to hell."

Wang Jianqiang walked even faster.

Seeing this, a look of confusion flashed across the woman's face.

She was the most beautiful woman in Ru Hua Palace, with countless suitors within the palace.

Even after entering the Assessment Secret Realm, she would attract many gazes wherever she went.

Not just men, but even women were so mesmerized by her that they couldn't take their eyes off her; her head-turning rate was off the charts.

Such a stunning beauty could not even move the other party.

Wasn't it said that this Wang Jianqiang was extremely lecherous?

How does that not seem to match what Tianxingzi calculated?

Tianxingzi wouldn't be deceiving her, would he?

Thinking of this, she flew toward the North City District in a fit of rage.

……

Seeing that the ugly woman named Liu Ruyan had not caught up, Wang Jianqiang let out a long sigh of relief.

He couldn't help but curse his bad luck under his breath.

After returning to his residence, he had just taken out the Medicinal Herbs and was preparing to start the furnace for Alchemy.

Suddenly, he felt a fluctuation coming from the Array outside.

After checking through the Array, he discovered that Yang Wanxin was waiting outside the gate.

"Could it be that she has run into a difficult problem again?"

Wang Jianqiang's eyes brightened, and with a wave of his palm, he put the Medicinal Herbs away again.

With a thought, he opened the passage into this space.

To save trouble, this time he went directly to the second floor to wait for Yang Wanxin.

A moment later, Yang Wanxin appeared before Wang Jianqiang.

After some polite exchanges, Yang Wanxin stated her purpose; sure enough, she had encountered another problem in the Dao of Alchemy.

Wang Jianqiang naturally did his utmost to help enthusiastically.

……

Twelve hours later.

After Wang Jianqiang finished solving the problem for Yang Wanxin, the two were chatting idly.

A look of worry suddenly flashed across Yang Wanxin's face. "Daoist Friend Wang, have you seen my Senior Brother Wei Zhongxian during this time? He seems to have gone missing."

"I haven't seen him."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head calmly.

Then, seemingly remembering something, he patted his head, "Oh right, I did run into him once half a year ago."

"He seemed to be flying toward the North City District at the time; he must have entered the North City District, right?"

"He went to the North City District!" Yang Wanxin's eyes widened, "He is an Alchemist, what is he doing going to the North City District? The North City District is so chaotic; one could lose their life if they aren't careful!"

"I wouldn't know about that." Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "You know the relationship between him and me; it's good enough that we don't clash when we meet."

Hearing this, Yang Wanxin recalled the scene when they first entered Shenfeng City and nodded.

Then, a worried look appeared on her face again, "Senior Brother Wei has been in the North City District for so long without returning; could something have happened to him?"

"No, I must go and investigate."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "Fairy Yang, it is not that I, Wang, look down on you, but with your strength, entering the North City District is no different from seeking death."

Yang Wanxin's expression was conflicted, "But... Senior Brother Wei has always treated me well; if I were to ignore him, my conscience would truly be uneasy."

Hearing her words, Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Fairy, do not be anxious. In fact, I, Wang, already noticed a month ago that Daoist Friend Wei had not returned."

"I have already entrusted two good friends to go to the North City District to look for him."

Upon hearing this, Yang Wanxin's expression relaxed, but then she revealed a look of surprise.

Seeing the change in her expression, Wang Jianqiang guessed her thoughts and smiled, "Although I, Wang, and Daoist Friend Wei do not see eye to eye, he is, after all, Fairy's Senior Brother."

"Fairy is my best friend in Shenfeng City; how could I ignore the life or death of your Senior Brother?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Yang Wanxin felt a wave of emotion and bowed gracefully to Wang Jianqiang, "Many thanks, Daoist Friend Wang."

Immediately after, she seemed to think of something and looked at Wang Jianqiang with worry.

"Daoist Friend Wang, helping me like this, will it trigger Karma again?"

"Will it not breed an Inner Demon because of this?"

Wang Jianqiang was startled upon hearing this, then revealed a bitter smile, "I, Wang, truly overlooked this matter. Fortunately, I had Fairy's reminder."

As he spoke, Wang Jianqiang looked at Yang Wanxin, "Fairy, look..."

Yang Wanxin understood and blushed.

"Daoist Friend Wang triggered the Karma because of me, so it is only right that I help you resolve it."

Wang Jianqiang laughed upon hearing this.

"Since that is the case, let us begin."

Time passed in a hurry.

In the blink of an eye, the Assessment Space had been open for a year.

After the one-year mark arrived, the first round of the assessment officially ended.

Those who failed to enter the city were all teleported out of the Assessment Secret Realm.

As a Specialized Cultivator, Wang Jianqiang had no competition with these ordinary examinees and did not care about their advancement.

He turned a deaf ear to matters outside his window and devoted himself entirely to Alchemy.

From time to time, he would take time out to resolve Karma with Yang Wanxin.

Although the days were monotonous, they were considered carefree.

Soon, two years passed in a flash.

Now, three years had passed since the Assessment Secret Realm opened.

After these few years of accumulation, Wang Jianqiang's Contribution Points had reached over six thousand, and his Cultivation Points had even reached over ten thousand.

However, the Golden Attribute Points, Silver Attribute Points, and Supernatural Ability Points had not increased at all, as the targets for solidification had not yet broken through.

As for Yang Wanxin, under Wang Jianqiang's constant guidance, her Alchemy cultivation successfully broke through, reaching Third-tier Advanced.

Third floor of the Pavilion.

Wang Jianqiang was introspecting his Attribute Panel.

To raise Alchemy cultivation from Third-tier Advanced to Fourth-tier required 5000 Cultivation Points.

Now that his Cultivation Points were sufficient, he only needed a thought to break through.

However, after thinking it over carefully, he decided not to break through for the time being.

Once his Alchemy cultivation broke through, to continue increasing his Cultivation Points, he would need to refine Fourth-tier Pills.

Whether it was raw materials or Pill Formulas, the cost would far exceed the present.

Moreover, he was still ranked first on the Pill Tower List, so there was no need to rush a breakthrough.

Hum~

Suddenly, the Communication Talisman at his waist lit up, and a slightly urgent voice entered his mind.

"Daoist Friend Wang, Daoist Friend Mo and I have encountered a predicament; I request assistance."

Wang Jianqiang withdrew his consciousness from his Soul Sea, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

It was Tu Youyou!
