Chapter 327: Song Ziyue

Boss, how much for this Tranquil Heart Pill?

Twenty thousand each.

That expensive?

Expensive? Then go buy the Tranquil Heart Calm Qi Bug, that thing's cheap.

Oh.

Yan Buji watched the young man leave, sitting boredly in front of the stall reading.

After a while.

The young man came over helplessly: "Boss, give me one."

Sure!

Yan Buji tossed a pill bottle over, the young man paid and left.

The process is like that, Yan Buji refined a batch of Tranquil Heart Pills, kept two for himself, and traded the rest.

The spiritual materials for the Dragon Blood Pill aren't all gathered yet, missing the key auxiliary medicine three-turn blood lingzhi, so Yan Buji has also been inquiring about this spiritual material lately.

Unfortunately, this item seems quite rare; Yan Buji wandered Tian Shu Island for half a month and found no news of the three-turn blood lingzhi.

Boss, this Tranquil Heart Pill...

Twenty thousand spiritual stones each.

The girl in front smiled: "Boss, I have news about the three-turn blood lingzhi, I don't know..."

I'll pay ten thousand spiritual stones for the news.

The girl blinked: "By common sense, shouldn't you just give it to me?"

Yan Buji put down his book, looking at her strangely: "You've read too many travel tales, right?"

The girl pouted: "I really do have news about the three-turn blood lingzhi, but you have to come with me first!"

Yan Buji frowned: "Who are you?"

The girl hands on hips: "I'm the daughter of the Island Lord of Tian Shu Island, Song Ziyue!"

Get lost, you're already the tenth claiming to be the Island Lord's daughter! Scram!" Yan Buji said impatiently.

At first, Yan Buji really thought he'd met the Island Lord's daughter, happily preparing to give her his pills, but later found her words off, tested a bit and exposed her.

If not for the fact that he couldn't act here, Yan Buji would have already captured her and harshly humiliated her.

Later, several more came claiming to be the Island Lord's daughter, even scarier, there were male cultivators cross-dressing to test Yan Buji's eyesight, angering him so he captured them and handed them to the guard squad.

The girl gritted her teeth: "I really am Song Ziyue!"

Evidence? It's said the Island Lord's daughter has a seven-star mark on her back, show it.

You!

Let me see!

The girl flushed, eyes wide, pointing at Yan Buji wanting to scold, but maybe too well-bred to know how.

Yan Buji smirked: "Don't dare? Then don't bother me here, you..."

Miss!!

You dare bully the Miss? Want to die??

Three Golden Core Stage experts suddenly jumped from the crowd, surrounding Yan Buji.

Yan Buji: "......"

Oh no, I've met the real deal.

This really is Song Ziyue!

Yan Buji gave an embarrassed smile, clasped his hands: "It's my poor eyesight, I offended the Miss rudely; please take this Tranquil Heart Pill, I beg your mercy, spare me."

Song Ziyue hands on hips, gritted teeth: "You weren't that arrogant before? Regain your earlier attitude."

Where would I dare? I'm just a small business, I've been scared of being cheated. Miss, think if someone impersonated you everywhere to scam food and drink, wouldn't that smear your face? I'm also trying to maintain order on Tian Shu Island, ensure cultivators can trade normally, create a good business atmosphere. In my haste I got angry. If I'd known it was really you in person, I definitely wouldn't have done this.

Yan Buji's words left Song Ziyue stunned on the spot.

After a while, Song Ziyue reacted: "You mean I should still thank you?"

No need, you're so noble, no need to make things hard for us loose cultivators.

Loose cultivator? These pills are yours, right?' Song Ziyue took the Tranquil Heart Pill, then smiled.

Yan Buji thought uh-oh, clasped hands: "This is my humble work, my skill isn't great, I just became a second-turn alchemist, you are?"

I want you to make a trip, what do you think?

Yan Buji sighed: "I understand, I'll go with the Miss."

You're still a Daoist?

Studied a few years, my Daoist name is Yuejin.

Yan Buji helplessly packed up and followed Song Ziyue away, along the way the three Golden Core Stage cultivators stared at him, making him uneasy.

Stepping onto the teleportation array, in the blink of an eye Yan Buji arrived at the central region of Tian Shu Island, a place he normally couldn't come to.

To enter here, one must either be a Golden Core Stage cultivator or possess third-turn techniques; he originally wanted to try his luck here, but was told he couldn't enter.

Now he's accidentally stumbled in, just don't know what this Miss wants him for.

Yan Buji followed them into the manor, sitting to one side.

The three Golden Core Stage cultivators stood left and right of him, staring intently.

Yan Buji took a deep breath and asked: "Seniors, why are you staring at me, eyes not tired?"

Nonsense, we must ensure the Miss's safety!

Come on, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, is that necessary?

Never mind that, even if you were a mortal, coming here you'd be stared to death by us; we will never let the Miss face danger!

So diligent?

Yan Buji found it strange, clasped his fists and said, "How should I address you three seniors?"

"I am Da Zhuang."

"I am Er Gou."

"I am San Zhu."

Hiss!

They must be the death warriors raised by the Heavenly Pivot Island Master—how did they get such a name?

Really quite vulgar.

Yan Buji wouldn't be so foolish as to ask for their given name—after all, who would give their courtesy name when they already have a proper name?

"Well... what does the young lady want with me?"

"Hmm, maybe they heard you have the recipe for the Ancient Tranquil Heart Pill."

Yan Buji asked doubtfully, "What's going on now?"

"Then let me ask you this: where did your pill recipe come from?"

"This... was given to me by a senior; without his permission I cannot possibly hand it over." Yan Buji frowned, said.

"Then that's correct."

"Huh?"

No, it's impossible for such a grand manor to summon him just for his pill recipe; they could easily discuss a purchase price and then make excuses.

Or could it be outright robbery?

Besides, it's not that serious—Yan Buji swore he only needed a few ancient pill recipes, just low-tier ones at that, and they don't even know he has a Dragon Pattern Furnace, so there's no reason to target him like this.

Surely it can't be that they're just taking out their anger on me for offending her by 'inviting' me over, right?

That's the issue of the pill recipe's origin....

"Ask the Void Palace?"

Yan Buji's eyes shifted, and the Da Zhuang beside him looked over: "You brat, are you scheming something bad again?"

"No, no—what exactly does the young lady want from me?"

"You'll find out soon enough."

Yan Buji pondered for a moment, then decided to wait.

Anyway, I can't run away—I'll just see what they want.
