Is that correct?
"No, he just casually entered my City Lord's Mansion? Then killed someone, and then swaggered out?"
The City Lord looked at his subordinate and asked.
Old Huang was also very embarrassed at this moment.
"Lord City Lord, is it possible that... we couldn't stop him!"
The City Lord was greatly distressed.
But now, he had no choice but to flash and disappear, reappearing in front of Zhou Ziming, who was about to leave.
"Wait a moment, Fellow Daoist!"
The City Lord quickly bowed to Zhou Ziming.
Zhou Ziming glanced at the City Lord, frowning slightly.
"Something wrong?"
The corner of the City Lord's mouth twitched.
How little did this attitude put him in his eyes?
But the City Lord had no choice now.
The truth was, the Medicinal Pill poison in his body was undeniably present.
No matter who that impostor was before, he had promised to help him detoxify.
"Uh, as you can see, my Medicinal Pill poison has flared up. I wonder if Fellow Daoist has a solution?"
Zhou Ziming shook his head: "No, just wait to die!"
After speaking, Zhou Ziming changed direction again and left.
The City Lord couldn't hold back.
How could this person speak so harshly?
But the City Lord had a faint feeling.
This person in front of him could definitely help him.
The City Lord once again stopped Zhou Ziming.
"Fellow Daoist, as long as you help me detoxify, I will agree to whatever you want!"
"Including the requests of the person who impersonated you before, I agree to all of them!"
Zhou Ziming remained uninterested.
The City Lord was helpless.
This guy was completely impervious to reason.
Suddenly, the City Lord said: "I have a ru xuan pill, which was originally reserved for my daughter. As long as you help me cure the Medicinal Pill poison, I am willing to offer it!"
After the City Lord finished speaking.
Zhou Ziming's body shot straight back.
Then Zhou Ziming placed his hand on the City Lord's wrist.
"Boom~"
A bolt of lightning instantly spread throughout the City Lord's body.
Immediately after, black smoke began to emanate from the City Lord's body.
When the black smoke dissipated, Zhou Ziming finally said: "The Medicinal Pill!"
The City Lord was stunned.
The way it was resolved was so simple?
Moreover, the City Lord could feel that although this Zhou Ziming was only at the Spirit Fetus Realm Peak, the tyrannical power of the lightning and the control he had over it...
With this strength, if combined with some trump cards, he might not be unable to fight a Profound Connection expert.
No wonder this kid was so presumptuous.
It seemed he had the capital to be presumptuous.
And to be about to enter Profound Connection at such a young age.
The City Lord suddenly felt that if his daughter were to form a Dao Companion relationship with this person, it might not be impossible.
Thinking this, the City Lord smiled.
"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, the Medicinal Pill will not be forgotten. Come back to my mansion with me now, and I will have someone fetch it!"
Zhou Ziming nodded.
The City Lord was very happy at this moment.
He had a premonition that after this, he would no longer suffer from poisoning, recurrence of old ailments, or outbreaks of Medicinal Pill poison.
For this, the City Lord held a grand banquet to celebrate.
The City Lord even thoughtfully prepared a good room for Zhou Ziming.
And those Disciples of the Huan Ling Sect, because of Zhou Ziming, were now all staying in the City Lord's Mansion.
Zhou Ziming had no interest in banquets or anything else.
He only wanted to get his hands on the ru xuan pill as soon as possible.
But by the end of the banquet, the City Lord hadn't even mentioned the Medicinal Pill.
After the banquet ended, Zhou Ziming couldn't help but find the City Lord.
"Where's my Medicinal Pill?"
The City Lord smiled.
"Young man, don't be so impatient. I will naturally not break my promise regarding what I agreed to!"
After speaking, the City Lord stood up: "Follow me!"
Zhou Ziming nodded.
————
Not long after, the City Lord led Zhou Ziming to the City Lord's Treasury.
At this moment, the City Lord explained.
"Actually, merely having a ru xuan pill is only one of the basic requirements for entering Profound Connection. But without sufficient Spiritual Qi support, the success rate of entering Profound Connection is not very high!"
"If it were according to the wealth of my City Lord's Mansion before, it would be easy to help you enter Profound Connection, but now... alas!"
Zhou Ziming frowned.
At this moment, he was thinking, when he entered the Spirit Fetus Realm, the dust cleansing gourd directly spat out enough golden clusters for him to enter the Spirit Fetus Realm.
What about his entry into Profound Connection?
Could he also directly ignore these conditions through the dust cleansing gourd?
Zhou Ziming was somewhat hesitant about this.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Ziming asked again.
"I'd like to ask, besides the ru xuan pill, do you have any herbs for refining ru xuan pills?"
The City Lord nodded: "Yes, but refining a ru xuan pill comes at a considerable cost!"
Zhou Ziming shook his head: "That's fine, I know a thing or two about Alchemy, just give them to me."
The City Lord nodded.
"That's naturally no problem, however, as I said before, to enter Profound Connection, it's not just about Medicinal Pills; it also requires Cultivation Techniques and a large amount of Spiritual Qi."
"Seeing as you helped me, I could assist you with these, but I can't just help you for no reason, can I?"
Zhou Ziming directly interrupted: "No need to state the conditions, I only want the Medicinal Pills and the Materials for refining them."
City Lord: "..."
After a long silence, the City Lord sighed.
"Alright, but take that myriad Peaks cauldron with you!"
Subsequently, Zhou Ziming got the Medicinal Materials and Medicinal Pills he desired.
And a small cauldron the size of a palm.
Zhou Ziming didn't even look at the small cauldron, directly throwing it into his gourd.
Because this was not the true myriad Peaks cauldron; it was merely a key to open a Secret Realm in the Late Stage.
Before the Secret Realm was opened, this thing was scrap metal.
The City Lord saw Zhou Ziming look at the myriad Peaks cauldron as if it were trash and curiously asked: "Fellow Daoist recognizes this cauldron?"
Zhou Ziming nodded: "I recognize it, but it's not very useful, just a key that can open some Secret Realms."
The City Lord's mouth fell open.
No, it's a key that can open a Secret Realm, why are you so indifferent?
Zhou Ziming saw the City Lord's expression and took out the small cauldron again: "If you want it, I can give it back to you!"
The City Lord struggled a bit.
But then, the City Lord waved his hand.
"No need, if this thing stays with me now, I'm a little scared!"
Zhou Ziming put it away again without a care.
"Since I've gotten what I wanted, we owe each other nothing. Farewell!"
The City Lord quickly shook his head: "Wait a moment, besides this, can't we become friends? Why are you so heartless?"
The City Lord's eyes were filled with resentment.
Zhou Ziming looked at the City Lord's appearance and felt a bit disgusted.
Although you look like a woman... Wait, like a woman?
Zhou Ziming directly launched a sneak attack.
Then: "Slap~"
A palm print appeared on Zhou Ziming's face.
The City Lord's face was flushed red.
"You, you scoundrel, you bastard, you shameless!"
Zhou Ziming chuckled.
"Worth it!"
At this moment, the City Lord's tone changed.
"So, can we be friends now?"
Zhou Ziming nodded: "Yes!"
The City Lord then asked: "I want to know, if I don't hand over my daughter, will there still be problems later?"
Zhou Ziming shook his head: "There won't be any problems."
