The Cultivation Method of Junior Sister is Unscientific

Under the stirring music, even those who hadn’t intended to purchase the perfect quality Foundation Establishment Pills found themselves filled with anticipation.

With so many people present!

If they were chosen, it would prove they were protagonists of fortune!

Even if just to prove their luck, they couldn’t help but pray.

“Choose me.”

“Choose me.”

Countless people silently prayed in their hearts.

This tense anticipation transformed into emotional value, flowing into Yun Jin’s system.

Observing this influx of emotional value, even greater than when she had shown off, Yun Jin gained some insight.

It seemed she needed to further expand her channels for acquiring emotional value.

Besides these emotions, there was another that easily generated emotional value: fear.

If she could instill terror, placing countless people in a state of fear, the amount of emotional value might exceed her imagination.

But Yun Jin didn’t consider herself that depraved yet.

She wanted to earn emotional value, but not without principles.

For instance, if she had directly auctioned these perfect quality Foundation Establishment Pills, they would have fetched far more than one top-grade spirit stone. The audience’s emotions were already stirred; a few words could have driven them to impulsive spending.

The process would have provided her with even more emotional value.

But Yun Jin didn’t want to do that.

Make money, but only a reasonable amount.

Earn emotional value, but only an appropriate amount.

Yun Jin had assessed the price of one top-grade spirit stone. The research value of this batch of pills far exceeded that of the Jade Spirit Pills. This time, even the alchemy sects would likely make purchases. At this price, the buyers would certainly not lose out.

After an entire evening of scheming, Yun Jin was now genuinely offering a benefit.

This time, Yun Jin acquired a considerable amount of emotional value.

The emotional value gained from inducing fear would likely be even greater, as fear tends to be a more intense emotion.

To make people fear her without harming innocents.

She’d have to ponder this further.

As Yun Jin contemplated, the ten firefly beasts had selected the final ten lucky individuals.

The light beams descended simultaneously, and the chosen ten were a mix of surprise and joy.

Among so many people, they were actually picked?

Was this what it felt like to be favored by fate?

“Now, may I invite these ten lucky individuals to come on stage.”

The theme from “If You Are the One” played again.

The ten selected audience members strode onto the stage, full of pride.

Yun Jin asked if any of them wanted to forfeit their qualification.

Not one person gave up.

These cultivators weren’t fools; they knew these pills could be sold for a higher price immediately. Who would give up such an opportunity?

With no one forfeiting, the process was simple. Money exchanged hands, goods were delivered, and the transaction was swiftly completed.

Finally, Yun Jin said with apparent reluctance, “Family members, tonight’s event ends here. Pleasant times are always fleeting, but our hearts will forever be united!”

At this moment, the melodious “Unforgettable Night” began to play.

Yun Jin’s lips twitched slightly. Had her Senior Brother become increasingly unhinged?

Did he think no one knew he was a transmigrator, so he was letting loose?

Suppressing the urge to comment, Yun Jin announced the end of the night’s activities.

Perhaps because they had never seen such an entertaining alchemy performance… the crowd seemed reluctant to leave.

Eventually, it took Ming Heng and other respected figures to maintain order and persuade people to depart.

“Master, should we go say hello to Junior Sister and the others?” Si Wanning asked, also seeming reluctant to leave.

She even began to regret.

Why hadn’t she come along with her Junior Sister?

It looked so fun!

“What hello?” Lin Ya grabbed Si Wanning. “Let’s hurry back to the sect! If they return and find us missing, won’t they discover we snuck out to watch the event?”

Si Wanning looked puzzled. “What’s wrong with them finding out?”

“It’s a problem, a big problem,” Lin Ya said seriously. “Then we won’t be able to enjoy the fun of fighting over purchases with our family! Little Jin would probably just give us some goods directly, but is that what we want?”

“No!” Si Wanning replied instinctively.

“So, let’s go quickly!” Lin Ya convinced Si Wanning and hurried her away.

Joking aside!

As the dignified Peak Master of Celestial Sword Peak, if he were caught here scrambling for purchases with a bunch of juniors, where would he put his old face?

He still had some dignity to maintain!

“Senior Brother,” Yun Jin yawned, “I’ll leave the rest to you to wrap up. I’m going back to rest.”

In truth, Yun Jin was eager to check her system panel. She thought she had heard some system prompts earlier but had been too busy selling to pay attention.

“Alright, you head back to the sect first. I’ve got things handled here,” Yue Zhao said, full of energy. He had already planned how to negotiate business with these people and how to maintain the upper hand.

His business empire would begin from this market!

Just as he finished speaking, Yue Zhao suddenly felt uneasy. “Wait, it’s not safe for you to go back alone. Let me escort you first.”

Yue Zhao insisted, and Yun Jin couldn’t refuse.

They had just left the market when Yue Zhao suddenly narrowed his eyes and called out, “Master? Second Junior Sister?”

Two figures ahead paused briefly.

Then they suddenly scurried away faster.

Yue Zhao couldn’t help but laugh. Just by their furtive silhouettes, he could recognize them. Did they really think they could escape?

“It really is them,” Yun Jin recognized them too. She grinned, “Senior Brother, you go back. Don’t worry about me, I’ll catch up with Master and the others.”

“Master, Second Senior Sister!” Yun Jin called out as she chased after them.

Seeing that Lin Ya showed no sign of stopping, she shouted, “Everyone, come look! The dignified Tianxing Sect’s…”

In the next moment, Lin Ya spun around and clamped his hand over Yun Jin’s mouth.

Yun Jin blinked innocently.

Lin Ya had no choice but to say, “Stop shouting. We can go back together, alright?”

Yun Jin obediently nodded, and Lin Ya released her.

Yun Jin looked at her Master and Senior Sister, grinning.

Lin Ya tried to salvage his dignity: “I mainly came out because I was worried your personality might get you into trouble, so I came to keep an eye on you. Definitely not to join the excitement.”

“I understand, I understand completely,” Yun Jin said. “Master, I’m already a second-grade alchemist! Once I break through again, I’ll eventually be able to refine the Heaven Mending Pill.”

The Heaven Mending Pill was a seventh-grade divine medicine, effective even for cultivators in the Dao Seeking realm.

Typically, to refine seventh-grade pills, an alchemist’s cultivation needed to reach the Dao Seeking realm, and their alchemy grade needed to be seventh-grade. Only then would the success rate be relatively high.

Currently, the Divine Pill Peak Master Huo Lie had reached the Dao Seeking realm, but his alchemy grade was only fifth-grade. If he were to refine the Heaven Mending Pill, the failure rate would be extremely high. He might need many attempts before succeeding once.

But the sect wouldn’t provide that many herbs for Huo Lie to experiment with.

On the other hand, Huo Lie was Zhao Wuji’s loyal lapdog. Asking him to refine pills for her Master was impossible.

Yun Jin could only rely on herself for the Heaven Mending Pill!

Breaking through to Dao Seeking within three months was unlikely, but reaching late Golden Core stage was feasible.

By then, her alchemy grade should also rise to fourth-grade.

The rest would depend on accumulating simplification chances.

Like last time, when she wanted to refine second-grade pills while at Qi Condensation, the simplification system didn’t say it was impossible, just that it would require more simplification chances.

At that time, Yun Jin was just a step away from Foundation Establishment, so she didn’t waste the chances.

But when it came to refining the Heaven Mending Pill, she had no choice.

No matter how many chances it took, she had to do it.

Even if it took hundreds or thousands of times, she had to use them.

In her previous life, this old man had essentially died for her. Yun Jin might not have many virtues, but she always repaid kindness.

When Yun Jin mentioned the Heaven Mending Pill again, Lin Ya was momentarily stunned.

He suddenly realized that his little disciple wasn’t just talking idly.

She truly intended to refine a Heaven Mending Pill for him.

Lin Ya felt touched and said with a trembling voice, “There’s no need to force it. I’ve been living with this injury for so long, I’ve gotten used to it.”

“How can you protect us if you don’t recover, Master?” Yun Jin said in a domineering CEO-like manner. “I will definitely refine the Heaven Mending Pill. Master, you should take good care of yourself these few months. When it’s time to restore your strength, if you haven’t taken care of yourself, I’ll be unhappy, understand? Just be good and listen, okay?”

Lin Ya: “???”

Although he was a bit touched, true.

But!

Didn’t these words sound a bit off?

Yun Jin looked completely matter-of-fact. Lin Ya opened and closed his mouth, unsure of what to say.

Upon returning to Celestial Sword Peak, Yun Jin dashed back to her quarters.

The little Iron-Eating Beast was already asleep, so she didn’t disturb it.

Back in her room, she first checked today’s emotional value earnings.

Previously, she mainly gained emotional value through showing off. This method provided more instantaneous emotional value but lacked sustainability.

Tonight, she had steadily harvested emotional value over four hours.

Now, including her previous balance, the simplification chances on her panel had reached an astonishing 2,300+.

In one night, she had earned 200,000 points of emotional value.

With about a thousand spectators, it meant each person provided at least 200 points of emotional value on average, with some giving more and others less.

This business venture was hugely profitable. She had established cooperative relationships with the market’s merchants, reaped substantial personal benefits, and incidentally pushed her simplification chances to a new level.

However, this couldn’t be done frequently.

Gathering so many people next time wouldn’t be easy.

In the short term, she likely wouldn’t have another opportunity to gain such a large amount of emotional value.

Recalling the system prompt she thought she’d heard midway, Yun Jin checked and found a message she had overlooked.

“Ding. Simplification chances have reached 1,000, unlocking the simplification chance level system. Currently at basic simplification level. Every ten basic simplification chances can be synthesized into one intermediate simplification chance. Every ten intermediate chances can be synthesized into one advanced simplification chance.”

“Note: Basic simplification chances can only simplify corresponding level content. For example, if the host is at Foundation Establishment, they can only simplify Foundation Establishment techniques, Foundation Establishment pills, etc. Intermediate simplification has a chance to simplify across realms. For example, if the host is at Foundation Establishment, there’s a chance to simplify Golden Core techniques, Golden Core pills, etc. Advanced simplification has a higher chance of cross-realm simplification.”

The note was simple, and Yun Jin understood the gist. She narrowed her eyes.

Converting her 2,300+ basic simplification chances to intermediate would leave her with only 230+.

Converting to advanced would leave just 23.

The seemingly vast amount of emotional value suddenly seemed less durable.

Mainly because refining the Heaven Mending Pill required crossing many realms, likely needing advanced simplification.

Yun Jin sighed. She needed to keep accumulating emotional value!

She then checked on the little Iron-Eating Beast’s status.

Its Charge skill had reached level two, and it seemed to have practiced several hundred times. The skill proficiency was at 50%, likely reaching level three in a few more days.

Besides skills, the spirit beast’s cultivation was also important. She needed to exchange for some pill formulas suitable for spirit beasts.

Additionally, she needed to prioritize cultivation.

She would need to learn some cultivator’s secret techniques.

Current herbs often took thousands or tens of thousands of years to mature. Of course, this couldn’t rely solely on natural growth, or herbs would have gone extinct long ago.

The most important factor was cultivators.

Cultivators could manipulate clouds and rain, creating ideal environments for herbs. They could also use secret techniques to accelerate herb growth.

Legend had it that the Mystic Pill Gate had a ninth-grade cultivator who, using all his power, could mature herbs to a ten-thousand-year level in just one year.

Such legendary cultivators were elite even within the Mystic Pill Gate.

After all, herbs were the foundation of pill refining!

Yun Jin remembered that Tianxing Sect also had some cultivation-related secret techniques. Tomorrow, she would exchange with Elder Ming. She still had 1,000 sect contribution points from Elder Ming, which should be enough to exchange for some uncommon cultivation secret techniques.

Furthermore, she needed to quickly master the Blue Lotus Sword Technique. Tomorrow, she would connect with those senior brothers and urge them to practice more. This way, her sword technique could quickly reach the proficient level, thus mastering the prerequisite for the Blue Lotus Sword Technique: ten sword intents.

Yun Jin suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed.

Then, an idea struck her, and her eyes lit up. “System, Gu Jinghong is now my servant. When the master has business, the servant awaits labor. That should be fine, right?”

The system paused before giving a mechanical response: “Not a permanent master-servant contract.”

“But it’s for three months. During these three months, he’s my property,” Yun Jin said somewhat overbearingly. “Update his data panel for me too. From now on, any emotional value he generates should count towards my total. Also, he should help with tasks I’m too busy to handle.”

For instance, if she couldn’t keep up with watching people practice swordsmanship, Gu Jinghong could help her watch. His observations should also increase her proficiency!

This way, it was like having an extra body.

Isn’t this how servants are supposed to be used?

Everything of the servant belongs to the master!

Of course, what belongs to the master remains the master’s!

The system lagged for a moment before dutifully updating.

First, it updated Gu Jinghong’s data on the panel.
