Chapter 79: Lord Jing Yao

With a single sentence, Lord Jing Yao killed the atmosphere.

The gods of the Weiyuan Society held their breath, remaining silent.

The "nattering log" Zhenyuanzi seemed to have truly turned into wood, sitting there rigidly, motionless.

*'Only someone more unconventional can defeat the unconventional. It's been so long since I last came to the Weiyuan Society, yet it still feels so familiar!'* Taiyi, having logged back in using his big brother's account, felt a wave of emotion.

He looked up at the dome, staring at the rotating stars within it, lost in thought.

Xiang Xuanqing rested his chin on his hand, his gaze profound.

Luo Hou leaned against his divine throne, eyes closed to conserve his spirit.

The remaining Exalted Ones all lowered their heads to admire the patterns on the table.

Exalted One Lord Jing Yao seemed unable to read the bizarre atmosphere, saying enthusiastically: "Fellow Daoist Comrade Ji Du once said 'silence is golden,' so I'll take everyone's silence as consent!"

"When the Weiyuan Society meeting adjourns, I'll give everyone a pill!"

"If you feel that's not enough, then after I go back, I'll put in the hard work and prepare a whole furnace of pills for each of you!"

A whole furnace of pills?

For every single person?!

Are you really that productive now?!!

Once these words were out, everyone could barely hold it together.

The gods all looked at Exalted One Lord Jing Yao in astonishment.

Based on past experience, a single pill was enough to cost someone their life; if you give us a whole furnace each, will we even survive?!

"Fellow Daoist, there is really no need to go to such trouble."

【Exalted One Suixing】 Hearing Fu Xi broke the silence, looking at Exalted One Lord Jing Yao and dissuading him tactfully: "Primordial spiritual materials are not easy to collect, and refining pills is time-consuming and exhausting. You shouldn't wrong yourself for our sake..."

"It's not exhausting, nor is it a wrong," Exalted One Lord Jing Yao shook his head.

"No, you are exhausted! You are wronged!"

Exalted One Shuiyao Chenxing looked at Exalted One Lord Jing Yao with a firm expression, forcing a smile onto his face: "Although we are not professionals when it comes to alchemy, we know the hardships involved. Refining a furnace of pills must consume an immense amount of mental energy."

"Fellow Daoist Lord Jing Yao, please don't force yourself." Exalted One Shuiyao Chenxing emphasized the last sentence heavily.

"I'm forcing myself?"

Exalted One Lord Jing Yao looked puzzled: "Not at all!"

"On the contrary, I feel great right now. I am fully capable of having the pills refined before the next Weiyuan Society meeting begins."

Hearing this, the gods' hearts sank.

You're so confident, it makes us so panicked!

"Are you really not forcing yourself?" the gods asked in unison.

They stared fixedly at Lord Jing Yao's eyes, hinting frantically and applying pressure, hoping Lord Jing Yao would just let it go.

Little did they know, Lord Jing Yao seemed to have had a massive surge in power after missing only one meeting.

"I'm really not forcing myself."

Not only did he ignore the gods' pressure, he looked at everyone with sincere eyes, a brilliant smile appearing on his face: "Upholding the spirit of mutual aid, everything for the organization, everything for everyone!"

"Serving everyone is only right. I'm just refining a few pills. This is a token of my heart; please, don't be polite."

Is this a matter of being polite?

The gods screamed internally, speechless for a moment.

He even shouted the slogan about the organization's "spirit," and used the word "token of my heart"—is this still the same Exalted One Lord Jing Yao Zi Qi as before?

【Exalted One Moon Yao Taiyin】 Wangshu looked at Exalted One Lord Metal Yao, a trace of surprise appearing in her eyes.

As the previous Master of the Weiyuan Society, she knew well how the previous Weiyuan gods had behaved.

The former Exalted One Lord Jing Yao, while unconventional, didn't have enough power and still cared about his reputation.

How did he break through his bottom line today?

And he's acting so indifferent—have you been possessed by Xiang Xuanqing?

On both sides of the Weiyuan Society, the nine gods all looked toward Xiang Xuanqing, who sat high at the head of the table.

Xiang Xuanqing's figure was shrouded in black mist; his gaze remained profound, and he said nothing.

At this very moment, Xiang Xuanqing's internal monologue was:

"It's over. I obtained the status too early, and now it's backfiring on me!"

"I shouldn't have brought out 【Dao De Daode Tianzun】 before the Weiyuan Society meeting!"

Xiang Xuanqing never imagined that one day, his own schemes would backfire on the gods of the Weiyuan Society in such a way.

After obtaining the embryonic form of the 【Dao De Daode Tianzun】 status, Exalted One Lord Jing Yao's alchemy ability reached new heights.

But his moral standards plummeted to new lows!

With the two acting in tandem, Exalted One Lord Jing Yao took his unconventionality to a level that left the gods at a complete loss.

"This is just an embryonic status and it already has such power. If a complete 【Dao De Daode Tianzun】 is condensed in the future..."

Predicting the future scene slightly, Xiang Xuanqing's mouth twitched.

*'Is it a problem with the 【Great Dao True Realm】? That's not right. After I condensed the 【Yuan Shi Daode Tianzun】 status, I was quite normal, wasn't I?'*

Xiang Xuanqing thought to himself.

On the fourth throne to the left, Exalted One Lord Jing Yao was still recommending his pills: "Everyone, rest assured. I have carefully deduced the effects of this pill, and I guarantee it won't kill anyone directly."

Not directly kill anyone...

Isn't that just killing them!!

"What is the name of this pill of yours?"

Finally, after a long silence, a voice rang out.

Everyone looked over in unison.

They saw 【Exalted One Void Yao Yuebo】 Seeing Ming He looking at Exalted One Lord Metal Yao, speaking with a hint of interest: "If it really doesn't kill directly, then give this pill to me."

Damn!!

The gods of the Weiyuan Society were shocked.

*'Fellow Daoist Void Yao, you are simply the savior of the Weiyuan Society!'*

*'You have saved the future of the Weiyuan Society!'*

*'Fellow Daoist Void Yao, I admit I misunderstood you before. Now I want to say: you are the new-era god of decline who bravely shoulders the heavy responsibility!'*

*'The future stage of the Primordial World will definitely have a place for you!'*

A group of gods frantically sent voice transmissions to Seeing Ming He, expressing their admiration.

Even the most indifferent Luo Hou expressed: *'In the future, if anyone goes to cause trouble in your Blood Sea, notify me.'* Seeing Ming He, who had never expected this act to bring him such great goodwill, was a bit dazed.

He actually thought Lord Jing Yao's pills were quite good.

And after Exalted One Lord Metal Yao heard Seeing Ming He's question, he took out a treasure box with great joy: "Fellow Daoist Void Yao is the only one who understands me!"

"Come, come, let me introduce this new pill to you: Zhou Tian Enlightenment Pill."

Exalted One Lord Jing Yao introduced it to Seeing Ming He with great enthusiasm: "As the name suggests, this is a pill that can help the user comprehend the Great Dao. I have carefully deduced it; this is definitely an auxiliary cultivation pill, there's no mistake."

"A pill from the Zhou Tian series, huh."

Seeing Ming He recalled the Zhou Tian Wan Xiang Pill he had eaten last time; he didn't seem to have died.

Hmm, now he was completely relieved.

"That's right, it's a pill from the Zhou Tian series!"

Exalted One Lord Jing Yao asked with a smile: "Is it very effective?"

"That it is!"

Seeing Ming He nodded and gave a positive review: "Everyone who has eaten it says it's good!"

Being praised by Seeing Ming He, Lord Jing Yao was overjoyed.

"I told you, fellow Daoist, you know your goods!"

Since his only customer had given such a positive review, Lord Jing Yao felt he had to show some appreciation.

"Come, fellow Daoist, I'll give you all ten of the Zhou Tian Enlightenment Pills I brought this time!"

Lord Jing Yao gripped Ming He's hand and handed him a treasure box and a gourd.

He looked at Ming He with an eager expression: "I look forward to your feedback after you take them!"

"No problem, leave it to me!"

Ming He accepted Lord Jing Yao's "gift" quite readily.

He even felt a bit happy.

Seeing Ming He accept all ten Zhou Tian Enlightenment Pills in one go, his image in everyone's eyes instantly became even more imposing.

"Fellow Daoist Xu Yao is capable; when there's something to be done, he really steps up, and when there are pills, he really eats them!"

Just like that, Ming He's actions earned the praise of the "pill supplier" Lord Jing Yao, plus the other nine Taiwei deities!

"Since fellow Daoist Jing Yao has shared his pills, I think everyone should also show off their recent research results."

After Metal Yao, 【Exalted One Earth Yao Zhenxing】 Zhen Yuanzi began to speak.

He looked at everyone with a smile: "As it happens, I've recently researched some new talismans."

There's an expert here too?!

The gods' expressions changed drastically.

"My talismans aren't that dangerous; I can even explain their principles to you clearly..." Zhen Yuanzi's mouth curled into a smile, about to launch into a long-winded speech.

Sitting next to him, 【Fire Yao Friend Yinghuo Lord】 Yuan Huang touched her sword.

She was thinking: It shouldn't be a taboo to kill a fellow Daoist in the Taiwei Enclosure, right?

At this moment, more than one deity made the same move as her.

Wang Shu shook her head slightly; she looked at Xuan Qing, who was hidden behind the black mist.

"You are the master of the Taiwei Enclosure, say something quickly."

"Otherwise, none of us will survive."

If this keeps going on one by one, can we even continue this assembly?

Doo~ doo~ doo~~

Slender fingers tapped on the tabletop. Above the dome, a mass of black mist descended, shrouding five divine seats and freezing the five deities who were eager to draw their swords for a moment.

"Everyone, don't get excited yet."

Xuan Qing casually muted Zhen Yuanzi.

"How about this, let's put sharing research aside for now; I'll launch a new feature for the Taiwei Enclosure first."

Xuan Qing felt there was only one way to stop everyone from acting out: he had to act out himself.

Sure enough, upon hearing Xuan Qing's words, everyone calmed down.

"What new feature?"

"The Heavenly Market Enclosure."

Xuan Qing lifted the restriction.

Everyone sat back down.

"To put it simply, it's the trading function of the Taiwei Enclosure."

Xuan Qing tapped the long table again. Clouds and mist rolled, and a scroll appeared in front of every deity's seat.

"Everyone can first upload some things you want to share, such as Daoist scriptures, spiritual treasures, pills, and so on."

"I'm familiar with this!"

【Water Yao Shuiyao Chenxing Lord】 Zu Long looked at the scroll and understood instantly. A trading platform—the Main Divine Palace has this thing!

It was made by Prime Minister Gui.

"I'll upload first!" Zu Long uploaded several Dao markers.

When everyone saw them, their faces turned dark.

These were all places where Zu Long had gone to find "a ladle of weak water."

"Then I'll upload a few more scriptures." Zu Long spread his hands and uploaded several more Daoist scriptures.

Everyone looked.

Their faces turned even darker.

On those scriptures, it was clearly written:

"Great Art of Yin-Yang Joy," "Secret Art of Heaven and Earth Union Pleasure," "Thirty-Six Styles of Dual Cultivation Experience," "The Secrets I Must Tell About Three Thousand Female Cultivators"...

"I really want to see the last volume!"

Fu Xi's eyes radiated a thick sense of gossip: "Name your price, fellow Daoist!"
