Chapter 525: Chapter 524 No Major Incidents Along the Way_1

Seeing that Tao Yaoye was still in shock, another burly man quickly interjected: “The guild also offers financial products with an annual interest rate of eight to twelve percent. Guaranteed profits!”

Tao Yaoye deeply understood what Senior Brother Lu meant about not showing off one’s wealth, otherwise, it would attract troubles.

Now the trouble had arrived.

One after another, they introduced all sorts of investment products, establishing foundations, low-risk high-return…She couldn’t understand at all.

“No, I don’t need it.” Tao Yaoye firmly rejected.

What’s the fuss about twelve percent interest? If she invested these ten million spirit stones into the Dream Mirage, to expand the scale, the return she would gain far exceeded twelve percent of interest.

...

“Ah, that’s a real shame then.” The burly men could only reluctantly give up seeing Tao Yaoye’s steadfast attitude.

Such a good chance, why didn’t she fall for it?

Luckily, this was just a slight diversion and nothing serious occurred along the way.

Except for an officer who halted the flying boat, claiming that a murderer was suspected of hiding among the passengers. He intended to verify the identification of each passenger. Shortly after, the murderer resisted arrest and injured people, only to be subdued by the burly men selling the guild’s products.

The murderer shouted, “I’ve already poisoned the captain! Only I have the antidote. If you don’t release me, the captain will die for sure. Get ready for the ship to be destroyed and all lives lost!”

It was a shame that before anyone could step forward to say that they knew how to pilot the boat, they saw the captain come out and announce that he was immune to poisons. He then went back to continue driving the boat.

There was also a Golden Core Stage cultivator trying to cheat on the fare — The Golden Core Stage cultivator was flying, while eating and flying, he got tired. As it happened, the flying boat was passing by, so he sneakily climbed to the tail of the boat to hitch a ride.

But his concealment skills were poor, so he was detected by the Ticket Checking Array and made to pay for the ticket.

And there was a pregnant woman about to give birth, fainting from the intense pain. Luckily, there was a Pill Master among the passengers who managed to save both their lives.

“Honey, wake up, we’re nearly there!” The husband held the pregnant woman’s hand, shouted loudly, but the severe pain caused his wife to pass out.

Everyone around was anxious, but they didn’t know what to do. If the pregnant woman passed out, would it be a case of two lives lost?

“I am a Pill Master, I will help.” Lu Yang faintly remembered the sound of this voice.

He turned his head to look, and the one who spoke was a female cultivator with a layer of golden elixir pattern on her sleeve. This was an outfit worn by Pill Masters. An Identity Jade hung from the female cultivator’s waist from the Seek Dao Sect.

Lu Yang remembered, this person was Senior Sister Jasmine from Elixir Cauldron Peak, who was in the middle of the queue when they lined up to slap him.

This meant Jasmine Senior Sister was considered to have mid-level strength among the senior brothers and sisters who slapped him. That is, the Nascent Soul Stage.

Lu Yang didn’t rashly greet her. He also wanted to know how Jasmine Senior Sister intended to help the pregnant woman.

Jasmine Senior Sister scanned with her Spiritual Sense, taking stock of the situation, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

The pregnant woman was too unconscious and would not wake up without a strong stimulus. But too much stimulation might harm the baby.

Under these circumstances, there was only one way.

Jasmine Senior Sister shut her eyes, and a three-inch tall little figure flew out of her Lingtai, went inside the pregnant woman’s head, temporarily taking over her body.

Wah──

Before long, a baby dropped to the ground with a cry.

“It’s done.”

Jasmine Senior Sister let out a sigh of relief as her Nascent Soul returned to her body.

The husband saw that the child was born and both mother and child were safe. He was excited and held Jasmine Senior Sister’s hand, “Thank you so much for helping my wife give birth! I’m very grateful!”

Jasmine Senior Sister: “…”

There’s no need to say thank you!

Jasmine Senior Sister tried to convince him to not send her a banner of gratitude, finally successfully.

“Senior Sister Jasmine.” After the incident ended, Lu Yang went up to greet her.

“Junior Brother Lu? And Junior Sister Tao as well, I remember you, aren’t you Junior Sister Lan Ting of the Laurel Fairy Palace? How did the three of you end up together?”

Jasmine Senior Sister had a good impression of Lu Yang; after all, they had shared some intimate physical contact and even bled together.

“Isn’t it because Junior Sister Tao and I were on a mission and happened to meet Junior Sister Lan Ting who was on the same mission? It’s a coincidence.”

“I see.”

“What about you, Jasmine Senior Sister, are you also on a mission?”

Jasmine Senior Sister proudly flicked her sleeve: “I went to take the qualification exam to become a Pill Master. Look, these are the new clothes I just got.”

“Senior Sister, weren’t you a Pill Master already, quite a long time ago?” Jasmine Senior Sister was already at the Nascent Soul Stage, so how was she just becoming a Pill Master now?

“Oh, that’s what the Sect recognizes. It’s not recognized outside, practicing medicine would be considered illegal, there’s a risk of getting caught. Every time I go out on a mission, I treat patients stealthily.”

“I thought about it a few days ago, instead of all the hassle every time, I might as well get a certification as a Pill Master.”

“Congratulations, Senior Sister, on becoming a certified Pill Master of the Pill Refining Alliance.” Lu Yang cupped his hands in congratulations, Tao Yaoye and Lan Ting also followed suit, trying to imitate him.

Jasmine Senior Sister waved her hand, thinking of the process of the exam made her feel bothered: “There’s nothing to congratulate about, taking an exam is a lot of trouble. I ended up in the wrong examination room and didn’t realize my mistake until after the exam. Turns out it was the selection exam for the deputy head of the Pill Refining Alliance’s branch. No wonder there were so many high-level people, almost caught up to me.”

“I took the first place, and only found out I wasn’t a Pill Master and wasn’t eligible for the exam when they were re-verifying our identities afterward.”

“I had no choice but to run to the examination room for apprentice Pill Masters. I continued to refine pills in front, and behind me, a group of master refiners were observing how I did it. It was really annoying.”

Lu Yang felt what Senior Sister you should consider is the immense pressure on those apprentice Pill Masters taking the exam with you.

“And now you see the result, I have successfully become a Pill Master.”

“The Pill Refining Alliance even asked if I could serve as the branch head, but I thought that would be too much trouble, so I declined. In the end, they forced an honorary deputy head title onto me.”

Jasmine Senior Sister took out a golden alchemy furnace badge from her Identity Jade, the back was engraved with the word “Jasmine.”

Lu Yang: “…”

Should I say one would expect nothing less from a senior sister of Elixir Cauldron Peak? Her way of doing things is really unique.

Fortunately, after helping the pregnant woman deliver, no more incidents occurred, and the flying boat arrived at Seek Dao Sect smoothly.

“Goodbye Junior Sister Lan!”

“Goodbye!”

Lu Yang and Lan Ting waved goodbye.

This boat included two stops, one at Seek Dao Sect and the other at Laurel Fairy Palace.

Once they arrived at Seek Dao Sect and just entered the core area, they saw a junior brother named Meng Jingzhou passing by.

“Have you finished your closed-door cultivation?” Lu Yang casually called out to Meng Jingzhou.

“Closed-door cultivation?” Meng Jingzhou was completely confused.

Tao Yaoye smiled and said: “Did you forget, Senior Brother Meng? A few days ago, I was about to go on a mission and wanted to call you and Junior Brother Lu along. But you were in closed-door cultivation then, so in the end, only Junior Brother Lu and I went on the mission.”

Seeing Tao Yaoye’s calm look with a hint of threat in her eyes, Meng Jingzhou then acted as if he had suddenly remembered.

“Oh right, I was indeed in closed-door cultivation those few days, just came out, still a little dazed.”
