Free and without pop-up ads! Mi Xiaojing continued to play dumb: "Understand what?"

Lu Yu sighed and said, "I have a residence in Hidden Huo City... Would you like to buy a house there too?"

Hidden Huo City?

Mi Xiaojing once again placed the jade slip on his forehead and began to search for Hidden Huo City.

A few minutes later, he found the location of Hidden Huo City and read the brief introduction: "Is this a city where rogue cultivators and mortals gather?"

Lu Yu nodded and said, "Yes, there is a very powerful Elemental Infant stage cultivator here, who is a rogue cultivator. Hidden Huo City is a small city he established. It's a good place with a mix of all sorts of people."

Mi Xiaojing's eyes lit up, and he said, "Okay, help me buy a house... um, a slightly larger one. How many spirit stones do I need?"

Lu Yu thought to himself: "As expected, once the formation is broken, this guy is going to run."

"No need for spirit stones, just give me some low-level Qi Refining pills or Clear Tranquility Pills. The quantity doesn't need to be much, hehe, just about right. As you know, there is a shortage of spirit pills recently. Brother Hong Qing has disappeared, Uncle Chen is in seclusion, and only a few people are refining pills... The entire sect is short of pills."

Mi Xiaojing asked, "If I want to send someone to Hidden Huo City, can you arrange it?"

Lu Yu said, "The sect has not been sealed off recently, so there is a chance to get out. However, the distance to there is quite far, and it will probably take half a year to get there, unless you use the sect's large flying boat, or have a cultivator fly there."

Mi Xiaojing said, "Can I hire someone to send... is that okay?"

Lu Yu laughed and said, "Of course, you can post a task, um, use spirit stones as a reward... Of course, if you use spirit pills, the effect will be better. You might even be able to invite a Foundation Establishment stage expert, but the task reward will be high... um, the best way is to hire a small flying boat, which is not slow and very safe."

Mi Xiaojing thought for a moment and said, "I need safety insurance, it's okay if the reward is a bit higher. A small flying boat is good, no matter how much it costs, it's not a problem. If it really doesn't work, I'll exchange it with spirit pills!"

He is now a little rich man, with a lot of spirit stones and spirit pills in his hands. In the cultivation world, these two things are hard currency. As a means of trade, these two are the most accepted.

Lu Yu said, "No problem, I can help you with the commission... Just let me know when you're ready."

Mi Xiaojing asked, "If I send someone away, will the sect allow it?"

Lu Yu laughed and said, "You are a Pill Master, if you want to leave the sect, you must have the approval of the Grand Elder. But if it's your people leaving, there should be no problem, as long as you don't leave."

Mi Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief. He not only wanted to send Zhang Ke and the others away, but also to send away the village chief uncle and others who were attached to him.

Mi Xiaojing now understood that if a sect could not protect its disciples, then once the enemy invaded, the lower-level disciples would be in a very miserable situation, especially if the enemy was intent on exterminating the sect, it would be even more dangerous.

Having experienced a sect extermination once, Mi Xiaojing was very cautious about this. Thinking of Master Zeng Li from the Western Evolutionary Sect, who had shouted hoarsely for them to run, Mi Xiaojing felt extremely sad.

This absolutely could not happen again. Mi Xiaojing believed that once the enemy attacked the mountain gate, he would have the time and confidence to escape on his own, but he must first arrange for Zhang Ke and the others.

After discussing the details with Lu Yu, the two quickly agreed on a time. Lu Yu also had people he wanted to send away, so they could go together this time.

Not long after the two had finished discussing, Yong Ji returned. His face looked a bit ugly, as if something had happened. Mi Xiaojing, being a young man with a strong curiosity, couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Master Yong, what's wrong?"

Lu Yu quickly excused himself. There were some things that he knew it was better to hear less about.

Yong Ji hesitated for a moment, watching Lu Yu leave before saying, "I was supposed to get a Cultivating Essence Pill... but I didn't get it this time, um, there wasn't enough to distribute." He actually knew that the Cultivating Essence Pill was refined by Mi Xiaojing. His words were a bit deliberate, and he also wanted to see Mi Xiaojing's reaction.

Mi Xiaojing reacted very quickly. He had plenty of Cultivating Essence Pills. Yong Ji was now his protector. It wouldn't be a problem to give him one or even ten Cultivating Essence Pills. He casually took out two glass bottles and said, "Uncle Master Yong, here!"

One bottle contained a mid-grade Cultivating Essence Pill.

Yong Ji was just testing the waters. He didn't expect Mi Xiaojing to be so generous and directly give him two Cultivating Essence Pills. What actually upset him was not the fact that he didn't get a Cultivating Essence Pill, but something else. He just didn't want to tell Mi Xiaojing, so he used the Cultivating Essence Pill as an excuse.

Without pretending to decline, Yong Ji took the glass bottle, checked it briefly, and was overjoyed. A mid-grade pill!

Mi Xiaojing didn't know that in the Heart Sect, the Cultivating Essence Pill had been monopolized by the Elemental Infant Ancestor. Many Foundation Establishment cultivators wanted this spirit pill but couldn't get it. As for Qi Refining cultivators, they didn't even qualify.

Only cultivators with a background like Yong Ji had the chance to get one or two, but they were only low-grade Cultivating Essence Pills.

Once the Cultivating Essence Pill reached the mid-grade, it was effective even for Elemental Infant cultivators, so they wouldn't distribute it to the people below. Yong Ji was lucky because he was Yu Hong's direct disciple and his strength was not bad, so he had the chance to get a low-grade pill.Two medium-grade Cultivating Essence Pills were of extremely high value. Yong Ji was currently in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, striving to reach the Great Perfection. With these two medium-grade Cultivating Essence Pills, he saw hope for advancement. He had been stuck at this level for over twenty years and should have broken through long ago. However, due to the lack of suitable Spirit Pills to aid him, his cultivation was exceptionally difficult.

Yong Ji said, "Very well, if I find something suitable for you in the future, I will give it to you..." He issued a blank check, which he didn't need to cash in for the time being, thus clearing his conscience.

Mi Xiaojing didn't care at all. The materials for refining the Cultivating Essence Pills were provided by the sect. Apart from handing in a portion of the Spirit Pills, he had also kept quite a few for himself. During his recent frenzy of Alchemy, he had indeed obtained a lot of good elixirs.

This was both his privilege and his right. With the Spirit Pills in his hand, even if he didn't give them to anyone, Mi Xiaojing naturally held a transcendent status.

The two Spirit Pills could at least make Yong Ji more dedicated to protecting Mi Xiaojing, and let him realize Mi Xiaojing's value. This would change his attitude towards Mi Xiaojing.

Yong Ji said, "You can consider sending away the people around you during this period."

Mi Xiaojing feigned confusion, "Why?"

Yong Ji said, "Just send them away for now. As for the reason, you don't need to think too much about it. You can bring them back later."

Mi Xiaojing immediately understood. The higher-ups were clearly lacking confidence in defending the sect. The reason Yong Ji reminded him was because he had received two Spirit Pills, so he revealed a bit of information.

"Yes, Elder Yong, I will arrange it."

"Good, if there are any problems, I will help you solve them."
