Chapter 1036

Shi Song only felt again recalling the dark disciple from when he was in Dongzhou before.

Recently busy resisting the demon race, these little brats have been relatively calm, but now just stabilized, damn it started again.

Just to get a meal, damn it they don't even want the status of an Inner Door Disciple?

But these little brats, each one is "righteous and confident".

Given Shi Song's nature, he would surely uphold the sect rules, but damn it the sect rules punish like this.

"From now on, don't bother me with these damn trivial matters."

He gritted his teeth, threw down a sentence, and then stormed off angrily.

Now Senior Brother Qi Xiong is in closed-door cultivation, said to be preparing to assault the Emperor Realm, and Yunluo Holy Land and Yaochi Holy Land have sent over many treasures.

Simply put, there's not even anyone to complain to.

Canteen, having just finished lunch, Ye Zhangqing watched as disciples left in small groups, his brows slightly furrowed as he spoke.

"This disciple seems a bit off."

"What the young master means is.............."

Zhu Wu beside him asked doubtfully.

"How come there are so many menial disciples? And their cultivation seems a bit high, right?"

Just now Ye Zhangqing saw several wearing menial disciple garb, yet their cultivation was at the Dharma Phase realm—simply stunned him.

When did the menial disciples of Dao Yi Shengdi become so heaven-defying? They've reached Dharma Phase.

Ye Zhangqing didn't know what had happened recently; or rather, after Zhu Wu heard and patiently explained it to him, he then realized.

It turns out these guys just want a bite to eat, they'd even give up being Inner Door Disciples?

"Young master, you may not know, but it's said that the Second Elder has been cursing his mother out of anger every day lately."

"Then just ignore him."

"Young master, you know the Second Elder's personality—stubborn, insists on his own reasoning, and the sect rules happen to say exactly that."

"That's also true."

Thinking about Shi Song's stubborn nature, it's indeed easy to manipulate him.

But this is all the Law Enforcement Hall's affair; what does it have to do with his canteen?

"This afternoon I'll go out; dinner is already prepared, you're in charge."

Turning to Zhu Wu, he gave a few instructions; Ye Zhangqing planned to go out to purchase a batch of spices.

Originally this task was for Zhu Wu and Shan Hu to handle, but this time Ye Zhangqing needs a completely new spice, fearing they'd mess it up, so he intends to go himself.

Having prepared dinner in advance, Ye Zhangqing then left.

But before leaving, he first made a trip to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, intending to take two menial disciples along to help run errands.

As for that, the head of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, Tian Nong, naturally had no objection.

Soon the people were found, but looking at these two menial disciples, Ye Zhangqing's expression was complex.

Damn it, they've reached perfect Dharma Phase, just one step from the Heaven-Human realm, and you call them menial disciples?

"Zhangqing, don't misunderstand; these two are genuine menial disciples, only demoted by the Senior Brother three days ago."

Huh???

Just three days ago they were demoted from Inner Door Disciples to menial disciples? Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing didn't know what to say.

As for these two menial disciples, being able to follow Ye Zhangqing out on errands made them thrilled.

If they perform well along the way, Elder Zhangqing would be pleased—wouldn't he grant them a special treat?

Thus, to seize this opportunity, the two have risked their lives, showing no mercy even to fellow sect brothers.

They actually managed to round up all the menial disciples and give them a thorough beating.

"Alright, then let's set off now."

Immediately Ye Zhangqing took the two and left Dao Yi Shengdi.

He planned to first go to Dao Yi Holy City to have a look.

Dao Yi Holy City is the largest city near Dao Yi Holy Land, on par with Yunluo Holy City and Yaochi Holy City, already becoming one of the three great holy cities of the human race in Zhongzhou.

Not only is the population dense, but the flow of cultivators coming and going is incessant.

It didn't take long before the three entered Dao Yi Holy City.

"Boss, do you have seven-fragrance fruit here?"

"Sir, I'm really sorry, our shop doesn't have seven-fragrance fruit."

"Okay, thanks."

In the city, I inquired at several spice shops in a row, but none had seven-fragrance fruit.

And the seven-fragrance fruit is an indispensable treasure that Ye Zhangqing needs.

Earlier I had the Spirit Cook Alliance look for it, but they couldn't find it.

Speaking of the seven-fragrance fruit, it's not really a treasure; normally no one seeks to buy it.

But because of its inherent nature—it blooms once every thousand years and bears fruit once every thousand years—its numbers are extremely scarce.

Yet Ye Zhangqing insists on having this seven-fragrance fruit.

"Not even Dao Yi Holy City has it? Do we have to ask the merchant guild to purchase it?"

Dao Yi Holy Land naturally has an affiliated merchant guild, but Ye Zhangqing finds it troublesome.

He plans to first look himself; but if even Dao Yi Holy City lacks it, then only the merchant guild can be sent to procure it.

After all, they're professionals, with channels spread everywhere.

"Still none........"

He was just about to turn back and head home when the shopkeeper beside him suddenly seemed to think of something and respectfully said to Ye Zhangqing.

Sir, I happen to know there might be a place that has Seven Fragrance Fruit.

Where?

Heaven King Pavilion.

Huh???

That name sounds mighty and imposing, but Ye Zhangqing knows that Heaven King Pavilion is just the biggest Gōulán in Dao Yi Holy City, right?

Can there be Seven Fragrance Fruit inside a Gōulán?

Sir, you may not know, but Heaven King Pavilion has a secret fragrance formula, one of whose ingredients is precisely this Seven Fragrance Fruit, so Heaven King Pavilion has always had the habit of seeking to purchase Seven Fragrance Fruit, so.........

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing secretly nodded; this actually makes sense.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhangqing gave his thanks, then brought the two Menial Disciples to Heaven King Pavilion.

As the biggest Gōulán in Dao Yi Holy City, Heaven King Pavilion naturally does booming business.

Day or night, it's a bustling scene, with people coming and going in an endless stream.

But today, when Ye Zhangqing and his two companions arrived, the area outside Heaven King Pavilion was already crowded with people.

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing wondered suspiciously, 'Has the business gotten this busy? Do you even need to queue to visit a Gōulán?'

"Fellow cultivator, may I ask what is there today.........."

"You............ huh???"

Ye Zhangqing curiously asked a nearby cultivator, who had been cursing, but upon turning his head, he immediately saw the purple-gold Daoist robe on Ye Zhangqing.

This is the robe that only Elders of Dao Yi Shengdi or those of Peak Master rank can wear.

Immediately, that cultivator's face changed instantly, and he gave an embarrassed smile.

Sir, you may not know, but today Heaven King Pavilion supposedly has a newly promoted top courtesan who is breathtakingly beautiful, so Heaven King Pavilion specially set up a fighting platform, and the winner can spend a wonderful night with that top courtesan.

That's why so many people have gathered around, all waiting for the fighting platform to open.

Top courtesan?

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing understood; this tactic is not uncommon, many Gōulán do the same.

After all, a top courtesan cannot be compared to ordinary goods; she is essentially the face of the Gōulán, so naturally they need to put on some flashy displays.

The harder something is to obtain, the more people tend to cherish it, right?
