167 – medicine hall is established

The Ai Family did not hesitate to violate the terms of contract in order to cut off all commercial relations. No on in the Xiao Family was stupid, they all understood what that meant. 

Great Elder Xiao’s brow wrinkled further. 

The Ai Family was a business family, meaning that they took peace very seriously. 

Suddenly cutting off commercial relations and not hesitating to pay ten times the fee in penalties — someone was definitely pushing them to do so!

My Xiao Family!

Who the fuck did you offend?

Great Elder Xiao was about to collapse. 

Naturally, he no longer considered it to be Jun Changxiao playing tricks, since an eighth-grade sect would have neither the qualifications nor the ability to move the Ai Family like so. 

Unfortunately. 

It really was Jun Changxiao. 

Once this guy left the alchemical shop, he wandered around the market, helping Dudu buy some seasonings and vegetable seeds, some crystal cores, etc. 

It wasn’t until dusk that he started on the way home. 

“If Patriarch Ai has a good eye, he should have cut off all ties with the Xiao Family by this time. Losing their high quality supplier, even if the Xiao Family can stock the shops with goods, it will definitely not be able to sell well and income will inevitably drop.”

“There’s also the minerals… Without that, half their income is gone.”

“A family without income, how can they develop?”

“Heeheehee.”

In the mountains and plains was an eerie laughter, startling the wild animals to go running. 

…

By the time he returned to the sect, the night was dark. 

“Huh?”

Jun Changxiao returned to his garden only to see Zhou Hong sitting at the entrance. He asked, “You aren’t practicing the sword but sitting here?”

Shua!

Zhou Hong stood up and rushed to say, “Sect Head, please teach me the Ice Sword Divine Art!”

The fellow was truly dedicated, squatting at the entrance for an entire day, not even leaving to eat or pee. 

“You can learn it,” Jun Changxiao said. “But you must have sect contributions.”

Just because a good seedling wanted something did not mean that he would hand it over. 

For example, Ye Xingchen had only gotten the Cold Edge Sword because he had defeated the disciples of the Vast Spirit Gate with absolute strength and increased the Irobone Sect’s prestige. 

The system had not taken the initiative to match the sword technique to the sect’s library, meaning that this was something he could not casually hand out. 

It wasn’t that the system didn’t want to, it was that the technique’s level was too high. 

If a disciple with terrible talent tried to learn, they would only be able to scratch the surface. 

“Sect Head.”

Zhou Hong said, “How can I obtain contribution merits?”

Jun Changxiao considered it for a moment. “In a while, this lord will lead the disciples outside for experience. You should follow; good performance will be rewarded with the Ice Sword Divine Art.”

“Of course!”

Zhou Hong didn’t even hesitate to agree. 

A sword cultivator paid the most attention to two things: one was the sword, the second was sword techniques, which was why they would chase after these things with little regard to life. 

After returning to the study room. 

Jun Changxiao pulled open the Pill Refining Pavilion and started to match the herbs with the recipes, refining with a ‘ding’. 

There were not many herbs and several raw ingredients were lacking.  

But with so many Healing Pills, Jun Changxiao thought about taking them all to the Ai Family for auctioning. 

No, not smart. 

Only when something was rare would it become precious and valuable. 

…

Next day, morning. 

Catchy tunes blasted from the martial arts field. 

Jun Changxiao led the disciples to dance together and went to the garden afterwards; 

After inspecting the seeds, Elder Wei was amazed. “Sect Head, these are all the high-grade seeds of the Ai Family.”

Jun Changxiao said, “With Elder Wei’s strength, of course the seeds need to be high quality.”

“Sect Head has overpraised me.”

Elder Wei said, “Since the quality is high, the growth cycle is longer.”

“How long?”

“With the current spirit power of the garden, at least two months.”

“How are the effects?”

Elder Wei hesitated then responded, “Much better than the first batch.”

“Is that so?”

Jun Changxiao was excited. 

The Qi Gathering Pills from the first batch had sped up the process by 10x. Wouldn’t a new batch with new ingredients be even better?”

“Elder Wei.”

Jun Changxiao said, “This is a Body Reconstructing Pill, take it first.”

In order to make the disciples powerful to deal with the Holy Spring Sect in one year, they would have to rely on the Qi Gathering Pill. If they relied on outside medicinal herbs for refinement, they would definitely fall short of the goal — Elder Wei was essential to the plan. 

“I’m a sack of old bones.” Elder Wei shook his head with a smile, “Why should I eat medicinal pills?”

Jun Changxiao said, “This pill can strengthen the body, Elder Wei should not be so polite.”

“Alright.”

Elder Wei accepted the pill and swallowed it. 

The medicine immediately strengthened his muscles and blood. 

“Little fellow, your pill is very mysterious!”

Jun Changxiao said, “Elder Wei, I have many mysterious medicinal pills. If you join my Ironbone Sect and take the position of Medicinal Hall’s hall master, you can casually eat them all.”

For a trained apothecary, he was not satisfied with merely hiring one, but hoped that they would join as a member of the Ironbone Sect and support future generations. 

Elder Wei shook his head. “This old man is already half a foot in his grave, how can I join your sect?”

Jun Changxiao sincerely responded: “Elder Wei, you must know that there are people who are old in years but young at heart.”

“Old in years but young at heart?”

Elder Wei was self-deprecating as he said, “Me? I have no dreams or goals, merely a person who lives dishonorably. I am both old in years and old in spirit.”

Jun Changxiao disagreed, “If a person is still alive, they should unceasingly strive for success. Elder Wei is too pessimistic.”

“Ah,” Elder Wei heaved a sigh. “Young one, this is something that you will understand after gaining experiences, after receiving numerous setbacks. You will come to understand after living a whole lifetime that one cannot help but be pessimistic.”

He turned around to leave, his back revealing the vicissitudes of time.

“Elder Wei!”

Jun Changxiao called out, “I do not care what you have experienced or who you were attacked by, I only want to tell you that a person should strive for perfection and success, rather than search for the bad in life.”

Elder Wei stopped moving, smiling, “Little fellow, are you trying to teach a guy with more life experience than you?”

Jun Changxiao seriously responded, “I just do not wish to see Elder Wei fall. I hope to see you search for happiness, even if not for yourself, but for your family members or brothers!”

Elder Wei seemed to have been inspired, his hands shivering. 

Indeed, I guessed right! Jun Changxiao continued: “Elder Wei has reached a great proficiency in medicinal research, so you must have been an industrious youth. Such being the case, you can only go up from here — join me on this great endeavor!”

“Join you in this great endeavor…”

These words seemed to echo through his mind, not only from Jun Changxiao, but another person as well. 

Elder Wei’s eyes seemed to moisten. 

“Child.”

His voice trembled as he said, “Your last few words, someone told me several hundred years ago.”

Jun Changxiao said, “It seems like I am not the only person to understand Elder Wei.”

“Huh.” Elder Wei let out a breath, almost sad. “There is no longer someone who understands me in this world.”

“I understand,” Jun Changxiao said. 

Elder Wei said, “Little fellow, tell me about your endeavor.”

Jun Changxiao seriously described, “To make the Ironbone Unyielding Sect the strongest sect and to let its name resound through Falling Star Continent!”

“This endeavor of yours is much greater than theirs,” Elder Wei muttered, then turned with a smile. “But, it matches my taste.”

“Is Elder Wei agreeing?”

“If Sect Head still wants this old man’s help, then I will put my blood and sweat into the Ironbone Unyielding Sect.”

…

Next day.

Jun Changxiao called out all the disciples and grandly announced the establishment of the Ironbone Sect’s second hall — the Medicine Hall. Elder Wei would be the hall master and be in charge of hall herbs and medicine. 

Sun Bukong and some others would become members of the hall. 

After becoming the hall master, Elder Wei returned to the medicinal garden and sat on the pavilion alone. He looked up at the blue skies and said, “Old companion, was my decision correct…”
