Zhang Ye saw that she had calmed down, and quickly admitted his mistake: "Master Uncle, please calm your anger. Indeed, I was the one who struck first, but I had a reason. I sensed murderous intent from them, they were harboring evil intentions first, once I fell into a passive position, I would not be able to see you again."
"It's better that you can't see me!" Tan Siqin said, "Besides, am I very old? According to my lifespan, compared to yours, I'm only equivalent to a 20-year-old girl. You dare say I'm old again, and I'll definitely punish you!"
"?" Zhang Ye felt a surge of annoyance, thinking that she was older than him and yet still getting into trouble.
Look at him learning, Tan Siqin's expression eased a bit: "What you said also makes sense. Shi Tianyun had intended to kill you early on, and when you went to the inner courtyard to get the seeds, as soon as he had an excuse, he would have struck first and reported later. So it's not surprising that those two had intentions to kill you, fortunately you didn't lose my face."
"Good!" Tan Siqin said after a moment's thought, "It's better to make a scene than to be ruined by them. You've disfigured their faces, which is better than being disabled by them. Fortunately, you have restraint and didn't kill anyone. Now I have something to say in the Punishment Hall."
Zhang Ye cupped his fists and said: "Master Uncle is wise."
"Stop flattering." Tan Siqin said, "I only ask you, do you want to hand over Jin Chanyi's clothes? Think carefully, that is Wang Siqi's thing."
Zhang Ye felt a pang in his heart and argued, "Things that have been swallowed can't be spat out. In the arena of cultivators, it's every man for himself. They were no match for others, they courted disaster, and getting killed was what they deserved."
Tan Siqin thought for a moment and unexpectedly nodded: "That's right! Wang Siqi bullied the younger generation, disrespected her elders, lent out a fourth-grade treasure to participate in the inner door disciples' fight. She wanted to slap my face, but it's good that she got slapped back instead. Don't let people bully us like this."
"Master Shu is wise." Zhang Ye felt a surge of excitement.
Tan Siqin glared at him with ill intent: "You dare say I'm wise again and I'll hit you."
"The disciple does not dare." Zhang Ye lowered his head.
Tan Siqin nodded slightly, "This time is over, I'll take responsibility for everything, get up."
"Yes." Zhang Ye finally got up from the ground.
Tang Siqin was welcomed into the house and invited to take a seat. Zhang Ye had also learned how to attend to people, usually Su Qing would be by her side, gently pinching her shoulders and tapping her arms. Now Zhang Ye did the same for Tang Siqin, showing some respect.
So Tang Siqin furrowed her brow several times, but ultimately didn't say anything, letting the little guy do as he pleased.
With half-closed eyes, Tan Siqin hummed softly and asked: "Zhang Ye, how's the progress of the medicinal field on your peak?"
"Almost mature. The spiritual energy of that field has also improved a bit, this time the Ling Huang Cao's spiritual energy is pressing down on people, many have reached the fifth-grade state, and can be harvested soon."
"Good kid, indeed unique. The fifth-grade Spirit Emperor Grass, in the past hundred years, only the suspended city's five-grade field, personally taken care of by the Master's brother, can produce it. If you really hand over the fifth-grade spirit grass, even if you've committed a great crime, the Master's brother will also suppress it for you."
"Yes, Master." Zhang Ye said.
Tan Siqin said: "I warn you, no embezzlement of herbs and seeds is allowed. Any seed's germination result process, harvesting process, must be recorded."
"Oh." Zhang Ye felt a wave of depression. Originally, some of the medicinal herbs that had the potential to be promoted to fifth-grade Ling Huang Cao had already produced seeds. He still wanted to embezzle them, but now that Tan Siqin had exposed him, he didn't dare to anymore.
"Besides, last time you refined the elixir using your own main medicine, and its origin was your good fortune, I won't ask about it. However, now that you're starting to use the medicinal materials I gave you to refine the elixir, the new Ling Huang Dan you refined has been very well received by the people of Hui Chun Tang. They even offered a high price of 170 Yuan for it. Now, our sect is starting to take notice. You know that with over 10,000 people in Tai Xuan Sect and several thousand inner disciples, the monthly offerings are not a small amount. Although you refined the elixir using your own formula, after all, you are still a member of Tai Xuan Sect. The sect provides you with all the medicinal materials, takes care of sales, lends you the elixir furnace, and gives you 40 Yuan for each Ling Huang Dan. Do you feel it's unfair?"
Zhang Ye thought for a moment, although the profit was not as good as his own, but finding land and planting himself would be a lot of trouble. The price wasn't bad either. He nodded: "Whatever Master Uncle arranges is fine, Zhang Ye has no opinion."
Tan Siqin nodded, thinking that the little guy was actually very gentle and understanding. Although he had caused a lot of trouble, in principle, he had also made great contributions, raising the sect's two-product land to five-product spirit emperor grass, refining rare dan medicine, his contributions were enough to offset his mistakes.
At nightfall, Tan Siqin no longer lingered. After putting down the newly delivered one hundred sets of Lianzhi Linghuang Dan medicinal materials, she floated away.
"Terrible." Zhang Ye didn't jump up until Tan Siqin had left.
This time she stayed for so long that she forgot. The golden cicada treasure robe of the fourth rank might have been digested too much by Xiao Bao.
Rushed into the gourd to take a look, Xiaobao's belly was big and round, pounced on Jinya's side and fell asleep with a loud snore, drooling a lot. The saliva dripped onto Jinya, and little Jinya seemed very happy, her spirits lifted somewhat. This can be considered as a compensation for her "tearful" days a few days ago.
"Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao wake up, spit out the treasure clothes, I still need them." Zhang Ye shook him violently until he finally woke Xiao Bao up.
"Spit it out, get it out quickly." Zhang Ye pinched his ear and said.
The little treasure hummed and reluctantly opened its mouth, but only spat out two-thirds of the ancient capital, and the collar, sleeve, and corner of the clothes were digested by it.
"This is terrible, the treasure's structure has been destroyed and can't be used anymore." Zhang Ye was very annoyed.
Xiao Bao was delighted and upon hearing this, knowing that Zhang Ye didn't want it anymore, swallowed the remaining torn treasure clothes in one gulp and continued to sleep.
He glanced at the yin-yang twin swords placed on one side. Zhang Ye finally felt a bit more at ease. It turned out that Xiaobao had temporarily spat out these two swords in order to eat even better food back then. After being swallowed by Xiaobao, the spiritual imprint was erased.
Zhang Ye picked up the two yin-yang swords and felt that they had communicated for a long time, but were not in a hurry to acknowledge their master.
Yin and Yang Twin Swords are a third-grade treasure. However, the power of the two swords in formation is very strong, Zhang Ye has an idea, perhaps Xu Ying Shifu can use the twin swords.
For Xu Ying, the problem with driving a fourth-grade treasure was not whether it was enough or not, but rather that she couldn't suppress the treasure and would be counterattacked. But third-grade treasures were different. In general, a third-grade treasure could barely be driven by someone in the first layer of foundation building. Someone in the second layer of foundation building could barely drive two third-grade treasures.
Although it may not be able to exert its full strength, and the loss is very serious, the increase in combat power is very obvious. As for the loss problem, it can be made up with elixirs. And Zhang Ye doesn't lack elixirs now.
