Chapter 341: Cleansing Essence and Meridians, I Won’t Let Your Efforts Be In Vain (2)

But the Essence Cleansing Pill should work well with the Breakthrough Pill for Zhou Shu’s workers.

If the workers were stronger, their ability to farm rewards would naturally be stronger.

…

As Yang Hong walked, his aura suddenly fluctuated. A soft sound buzzed from within his body, and then his aura soared.

As he walked, he actually broke through to the eighth rank!

Yin Wuyou and Haitang happened to see this scene.

“Yang Hong!” Yin Wuyou endured the stench assaulting her face and asked, “What did the King of the South ask you to do? Why did you suddenly break through to the eighth rank?”

“His Highness didn’t ask me to do anything,” Yang Hong said. “Maybe it’s because I’ve been cultivating hard recently, and it’s quite effective, so I broke through.”

“Bullshit!” Yin Wuyou berated. “If cultivating hard is useful, what is the use of talent?

“Don’t you know what you’re capable of? Tell me the truth. What’s going on?”

Yin Wuyou’s gentleness was only directed at one person.

To outsiders, she was the princess of Great Xia, the grand minister of the Forging Division.

“Your Highness, don’t look down on me.” Yang Hong straightened his neck. “My Martial Dao talent isn’t bad either! It’s just that I was like the young marquis of Weiyuan previously. I built a stable foundation which allowed my cultivation to increase rapidly. Let alone the eighth rank, I can also break through to the seventh rank very quickly.”

“How dare you talk back?” Yin Wuyou said angrily. “Do you believe that I’ll teach you a lesson? I’ll give you another chance. Tell me the truth. Your body stinks, and you suddenly broke through to the eighth rank. What exactly is going on?”

Yang Hong covered his head with his hands and squatted down.

“Your Highness, if you want to teach me a lesson, then hurry. I’m in a hurry to get back to take a bath.” Yang Hong’s voice sounded muffled.

Yin Wuyou: “…”

Bang!

Yang Hong’s body flew hundreds of feet away like a rubber ball, then turned into a rolling gourd and rolled several times before he jumped up.

“Thank you for your mercy, Your Highness!” Yang Hong wasn’t injured at all. He shouted and fled.

With Yin Wuyou’s cultivation, kicking Yang Hong away without injuring him was naturally not a big problem.

She had never planned to do anything to Yang Hong.

She was only pressing him because she was curious.

“Grand Minister, if you want to know why, why don’t you just ask me?” A voice suddenly came from behind.

When she turned around, she saw Zhou Shu standing there with his arms crossed and a smile on his face.

Yin Wuyou’s face instantly turned red like a child who had done something bad and was caught by an adult. She lowered her head, and her hands clutched the corners of her skirt.

“Umm, I was just asking. I wasn’t trying to pry into your secret,” Yin Wuyou said in a weak voice.

Zhou Shu had secrets. Anyone with eyes could tell at a glance.

But not many people dared to pry into Zhou Shu’s secrets now.

At least on the surface, not many people dared to do so.

As for behind the scenes, that was something no one could guarantee.

Yin Wuyou naturally knew that Zhou Shu had secrets, but she didn’t mind them too much.

What was wrong with having secrets? Didn’t everyone have one or two secrets?

Although she told herself that she shouldn’t ask too much, curiosity killed the cat. In the end, she just wanted to know more when Zhou Shu caught her.

How embarrassing. I want to find a hole to hide in.

“It’s nothing.” Zhou Shu smiled. “It’s not a secret anyway.

“It just so happens that I have to discuss it with you, Grand Minister.”

Yin Wuyou controlled her complicated emotions and asked curiously, “What is it?”

“The changes in Divine Constable Yang are because of the Essence Cleansing Pill I gave him.” Zhou Shu flipped his wrist, and a pill appeared in his hand.

“This Essence Cleansing Pill has the effect of cleansing people’s essence and meridians. It can improve people’s Martial Dao aptitude to a certain extent.”

Before Zhou Shu could finish speaking, Yin Wuyou’s breathing had already become a little heavy.

Really, why does Zhou Shu always surprise people like this?

She had yet to digest the surprise brought by the Cosmic Bangle, and now there was an Essence Cleansing Pill?

“Zhou Shu, besides forging, do you also know how to refine pills?” Yin Wuyou couldn’t help asking.

Refining pills and forging were two completely different things.

She really couldn’t think of anything in this world that Zhou Shu couldn’t do.

Was he really capable of anything?

“No, I don’t,” Zhou Shu said straightforwardly. “This Essence Cleansing Pill and the Breakthrough Pills that you, Sun Gongping, Lu Wenshuang, and Cao Chenyang took were all left to me by my senior brother.”

“Senior brother?” Yin Wuyou wanted to roll her eyes. Who would believe your unwarranted senior brother now?

You were the one who killed Xiao Shunzhi back then, right?

Yin Wuyou felt a little touched. Zhou Shu had even killed a first-rank martial artist for her.

Yin Wuyou didn’t care if the senior brother Zhou Shu mentioned was real or fake. What did it matter?

Zhou Shu’s actions had always been beneficial to Great Xia.

Did it matter so much whether he has a senior brother or not?

“You don’t have to tell me,” Yin Wuyou said in a soft voice.

The Essence Cleansing Pill could change people’s Martial Dao aptitude. If this spread, countless people would be tempted.

At that time, Zhou Shu would definitely be troubled.

“Does Yang Hong know that he took the Essence Cleansing Pill?” Yin Wuyou’s eyes were full of killing intent. In order to protect Zhou Shu, she would do anything.

Zhou Shu laughed. “It’s fine. Divine Constable Yang won’t betray me.

“As for you, Grand Minister, if I can’t even trust you, who else can I trust?”

Yin Wuyou immediately felt as if she had drunk honey.

I’ll never let you down in my life. She would definitely make Zhou Shu’s trust continue. She would forever be the person Zhou Shu trusted the most!

“Grand Minister, I still have some Essence Cleansing Pills,” Zhou Shu continued, “I was thinking that the Essence Cleansing Pills are useless to me, and it would be a waste for me to keep them.

“Now, the situation on the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield is complicated and grim. Our Great Xia army needs to quickly increase our strength to survive.

“That’s why I plan to give these Essence Cleansing Pills to the soldiers.

“But the effects of the Essence Cleansing Pill are a little shocking. If someone finds out the truth, although I’m not afraid, there will still be some trouble…”

“I understand!” Yin Wuyou said. “I’ll come forward! Just say that the Essence Cleansing Pills are secretly passed down from the Great Xia imperial family. I won’t let anyone know that they came from you!”

Zhou Shu’s lips curled up. The grand minister is still the same. Awesome!

“There’s no need to let them know about the Essence Cleansing Pill. We can dissolve the pills into wine. Then you can reward the army and say that it’s a medicinal wine made by the imperial family…” Zhou Shu said.

Yin Wuyou turned into a brainless fan and said in a clear voice, “Good idea. Let’s do it.”

“After all, the number of Essence Cleansing Pills is limited. Therefore, we have to choose the target of this reward.” Of course, Zhou Shu would prioritize his workers. Otherwise, wouldn’t he be making a loss?

“Of course. You decide who we reward.” Yin Wuyou followed suit.

“Zhou Shu, you’ve sacrificed so much for Great Xia. You’ve even contributed a divine item like the Essence Cleansing Pill. Don’t worry. I won’t disappoint you.”

Yin Wuyou said seriously, “When we return to Great Xia, I will definitely get Father to reward you generously! I definitely won’t let your efforts be in vain!”

Yin Wuyou’s expression was incomparably solemn, and she even waved her clenched fist.

Achoo—

Outside the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space, Emperor Yuan Feng sneezed several times.

He rubbed his nose in confusion. He was a first-rank martial artist. Could he have caught a cold?

Why did he feel a chill?

Could there be a leak in this tent?
