#55 - Relying on strength to eat soft rice

Jun Wuxie felt an urge to hit someone.

He had been too hasty!

However, to cure Yue Yao, he seemed to have no other choice.

Ji Yinlan had said before that the Sect Royal Academy was declining, but he never imagined that the Sect Royal Academy had declined to such a "frenzied" extent!

"Who is the other person, where is he?"

He took a deep breath, forced to accept this reality.

"He is in this great hall. In the future, your sister's illness will be treated most reliably by him."

Uncle Bird pointed to the fallen door latch and said.

Alright!

As long as Yue Yao could be saved, nothing else mattered so much.

He pushed open the door and walked in. The inside was not dim.

In the middle of the hall, a beam of light shone down.

He looked up and saw that the top of the hall had a large hole, and there were several loose tiles that were almost falling down.

At the very back of the hall, there was a broken chair, on which lay an old man covered with a tattered cotton quilt, holding a wine pot in his hand, drinking and rocking the chair, making a creaking sound.

"Senior, disciple Jun Wuxie greets you." He bowed, but the other party did not respond, so he couldn't help but say, "Senior? I don't know how this junior should address you?"

"Call me whatever you want."

The voice was very old, and it sounded like he was a little drunk.

"..." Jun Wuxie was very speechless. Was this old man reliable to treat Yue Yao? He looked at the wine pot in the old man's hand, thought for a while, and said, "Grandpa Wine, Uncle Bird promised to treat my sister. How about I bring her in for you to take a look?"

"No need."

As soon as Grandpa Wine finished speaking, Jun Wuxie saw the broken chair shake, and then Grandpa Wine disappeared.

"Where did he go?"

He stood there stunned, and then he heard Grandpa Wine's voice coming from outside the hall.

He quickly ran out.

Grandpa Wine, wearing a coarse cloth robe and a wine gourd hanging from his waist, was taking Yue Yao's pulse.

"Forcibly prolonging her life with true energy every few days can ensure she is safe for two months."

Grandpa Wine turned to look at Jun Wuxie and said, "After two months, I won't be able to save her either."

Jun Wuxie nodded in silence.

He naturally knew this result. Su Lan had said it before, and Uncle Bird had also said it earlier.

He only had two months.

But it was better than having no time at all. At least within these two months, he could still look for ways to save Yue Yao.

"Brother, don't worry, Yue Yao is fine." Little Yue Yao was very sensible. Seeing that Jun Wuxie was in a heavy mood, she ran over to comfort him: "Brother Wuxie is so good to Yue Yao, Yue Yao is very satisfied. In the next life, Yue Yao will still be with Brother Wuxie ~"

"Brother doesn't want a next life!" He hugged Yue Yao tightly and said, "Brother only wants this life! Don't worry, no matter what, brother will cure you!"

"Brother Wuxie."

Little Yue Yao looked up at him with her small face and kissed him on the cheek, saying, "With Brother Wuxie by my side, Yue Yao is really so happy, so happy ~"

"Brother too."

Jun Wuxie composed himself and smiled dotingly.

He didn't want his emotions to affect Yue Yao.

He hoped that she could live happily every day from now on.

"Alright, I will prolong her life now. None of you should come in."

Grandpa Wine took Yue Yao and walked into the hall.

At this time, Uncle Bird stepped forward and said to Jun Wuxie, "Boy, the old man needs some time to save your sister. Don't worry, with the old man taking action, your sister will be fine for two months."

Jun Wuxie nodded.

"Now go and choose a house to live in yourself." Uncle Bird pointed to the broken houses and said, "Choose whichever one you like. If you wait until the new disciples arrive, you won't have a choice."

"There are still people coming?"

Jun Wuxie was stunned, and he couldn't help but feel sympathy for the person who was about to arrive.

He himself was here for Yue Yao, so what was the newcomer here for?

He was probably tricked by Uncle Bird.

"He should be arriving soon. I have to pick him up now so that he can feel valued."

After Uncle Bird finished speaking, he turned and left.

Jun Wuxie despised him. Pretending to make the newcomer feel valued was false. He was probably afraid that they would inquire about the true situation of the Sect Royal Academy along the way!

He walked towards Su Lan and Qin Keqing, who were standing not far away.

"The place is too luxurious, I can't invite you to sit down. Don't mind."

Su Lan looked around at the environment and said with a light smile, "Actually, I think this place is quite good. At least it's quiet, and no one disturbs you on weekdays."

Qin Keqing covered her mouth and chuckled, "Perhaps this is called returning to simplicity."

"Thank you for taking care of Yue Yao."

"It's just a small effort." Su Lan shook her head and said, "Next, are you planning to cultivate here in peace?"

"Before my realm breaks through, probably." Jun Wuxie glanced at the main hall and said in a deep voice, "My sister only has two months. Within these two months, I must find other ways to prolong her life."

"The doctor I contacted is delayed by something, and she can't give a specific time either. Maybe she can come within two months, or maybe..."

Su Lan shook her head, not daring to draw a conclusion.

The Little Saintess is currently cultivating the Tai Shi Nine Needles. Whether she can succeed within two months is still uncertain. If she doesn't succeed, even if she comes, I'm afraid she won't be able to prolong her life.

Jun Wuxie nodded and said, "I know, so I can't put all my hope on the doctor you contacted. I still have to seek other methods. However, the most important thing now is to improve my realm."

"Improving your realm is very necessary." Qin Keqing said, "Your battle with that elite elder in the Great River Sword Sect has allowed those who are targeting you to have a clear and definite assessment of your strength. If they attack you again, they will definitely send a strong person who can suppress you."

"I need a two-star low-grade spiritual weapon to break through now. What is the general price of this grade of weapon?" Jun Wuxie took out the Vajra Fist he got from Wen Yue and said, "If I sell this Vajra Fist, can I buy what I need?"

"You need a spiritual weapon to break through?"

Su Lan and Qin Keqing were both stunned.

It was the first time they had heard that a martial artist needed a spiritual weapon to break through when cultivating.

Su Lan came back to her senses and said, "Although this Vajra Fist is a top-grade item, it is only one-star after all. Its value is far from comparable to a two-star weapon. Conservatively estimated, it needs more than 20 million gold. To be on the safe side, you need to prepare 25 million gold."

"Wuxie, I still have gold coins here. You can take them for emergency use now." Qin Keqing's storage ring on her finger flashed, and a purple gold card appeared in her hand, with four conspicuous words printed on it—Universal Bank.

When Su Lan saw her gold card, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Universal Bank, the oldest and largest bank in the world, is all over the world, with bronze cards, silver cards, gold cards, purple-gold cards, diamond cards, and supreme cards.

A gold card is already extraordinary, but Qin Keqing actually has a purple-gold card!

What exactly is her identity?

This kind of purple-gold card is not only a symbol of identity, but also has a very high overdraft limit.

She said, "Young Master Jun, our Jubaosai can give you the spiritual weapon first, and you can slowly make up the payment later."

"Cough, do you think I look like someone who lives off women?"

Jun Wuxie refused in a joking manner. What a joke, a woman giving him money, a woman trying to send him a spiritual weapon by means of credit, if he agreed, then his backbone would really be soft.

"This is not living off women. Besides, I'm willing. What's wrong with living off women with strength?"

Qin Keqing's words were shocking.

Su Lan also nodded in agreement.

They all wanted to express their greatest goodwill now.

"Alright, I appreciate your kindness, but don't mention this matter. I have thought of a way to make money, but to start doing it, I need an opportunity, and maybe I will need your cooperation then."

"What way?"

The two women spoke in unison.

Jun Wuxie shook his head: "I have to think about it carefully before I go to you to talk about it in detail."

"Then, we'll go back first. If Young Master Jun has anything, come to Jubaosai to find me at any time."

"Wuxie, I'm leaving too. This is for you." Qin Keqing stuffed a jade talisman into Jun Wuxie's hand and said, "This is a message jade talisman. My rune number is already stored in it. If you have anything, you can contact me directly through it."

Su Lan: ...

She looked at the things Qin Keqing gave to Jun Wuxie, and she was really envious.

She also had a message jade talisman, but it was given by the sect, and there was only one, not more.

This kind of thing is too expensive, so expensive that even she can't afford it!

"This thing is not bad, I'll accept it."

Jun Wuxie didn't know how precious it was, thinking it was a common thing used by people in the cultivation world, and didn't think much about it.
