Zhou Xun's eyes narrowed slightly.

"You should tell me where you encountered it!" Zhou Xun inquired calmly.

Tier Two Spirit Medicine, aside from that one plant he encountered at the Red Leaf Square black market, had increased Zhou Xun's Spiritual Root Sensitivity a little.

He hadn't seen such a treasure since.

Not that there weren't any for sale in the market, but such treasures as Tier Two Spirit Medicines were extremely valued by Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and Zhou Xun, a Middle-Stage Qi Refining Cultivator, had no real reason to come into contact with them.

Forcing contact would only bring danger!

Now, this Blue Spirit Lamp Flower was something he was most likely to obtain.

Moreover, according to scriptures, the Blue Spirit Lamp Flower is considered a high-grade among Tier Two Spirit Medicines.

Its greatest use is to help Demon Beasts break through to Tier Two, akin to a Foundation Establishment Pill in the Demon Beast Realm.

Unfortunately, its growth environment is harsh, and it has little effect on human cultivators.

Therefore, besides some Beast Taming Cultivators, very few know about this Tier Two Spirit Medicine.

Zhou Xun found out about it from an extremely obscure scripture.

Although it has no effect on other human cultivators, for Zhou Xun, it is the best option to enhance his Spiritual Root Talent.

A Tier Two High-Grade Spirit Medicine, even though he is of Middle-Grade Spirit Root, the improvement should be quite significant.

Nevertheless, even so, Zhou Xun still needed to assess the safety before making a decision.

Zhou Jimin nodded at these words, and began to narrate:

"The place where the Spirit Medicine is located is three hundred miles west of our Qingyue Lake!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun frowned, then coldly said:

"The area within a thousand miles of Qingyue Square has long been picked clean by its cultivators. What Spirit Medicine could possibly be there?"

"You're not trying to deceive me, are you?"

Generally speaking, in areas where cultivators gather, any spirit grass that grows is swiftly taken by passing cultivators, and even those not yet matured meet the same fate.

"Alchemist Zhou, how could I dare to deceive you!" The man quickly waved his hands upon hearing this.

"Recount your experience carefully, don't omit a single detail!" Zhou Xun sternly demanded.

"Yes!" The man nodded eagerly.

He began to meticulously recount his experiences:

"Yesterday, after passing Qingyue Lake, I went straight west. All along the way, I meticulously searched for spirit plants and herbs. After traveling more than three hundred miles, I found nothing, and seeing that it was getting late, I looked for a valley to rest."

"The valley seemed ordinary from the outside. Aside from a pond, there was nothing particularly unusual!"

"Last night, while I was resting there, a Spirit Fish suddenly emerged from the pond. Overjoyed, I chased after it, diving into the deep pool!"

"As you know, we people from Qingyue Square live by Qingyue Lake and are quite adept at swimming!"

Zhou Xun nodded. This was indeed true. This area, relying on Qingyue Lake, had ample Power of Water Element, so many of the native cultivators had Water Spirit Roots.

Zhou Jimin was one such Water Spirit Root cultivator.

"I dove down more than a hundred feet, then turned and resurfaced, only to find myself in an underground cave!"

"An underground cave?" Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun was about eighty percent certain that the Spirit Medicine was indeed the Blue Spirit Lamp Flower.

"Out of curiosity, I continued along the cave for several thousand feet!"

"Then a massive cave, a few hundred feet wide, appeared before me!" The man's face showed signs of shock as he spoke.

"And the Spirit Medicine was growing there!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xun nodded, convinced that about eighty percent of the man's words were true.

Because the Blue Spirit Lamp Flower's growth environment was indeed an underground cave.

"Alright, draw me the location of that valley!"

"If what you say is true, I'll cut your labor in half, and, I can even accept your son as a registered disciple!" Zhou Xun glanced deeply at the man and spoke coolly.

Hearing this, the man was overjoyed and immediately took up paper and pen to start drawing.

A moment later, the man handed a simple map to Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun took a look, memorized it, and then with a flick of his hand, the map burned into ashes.

At this point, Zhou Xun took out two Poison Pills from his Storage Bag and approached the couple, whose eyes were filled with surprise, and said:

"Here are two Poison Pills,"

"I understand, we'll take them!" Without waiting for Zhou Xun to finish, they grabbed the Poison Pills and swallowed them.

Yu Xiu'e did the same.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun's eyes showed appreciation.

Zhou Xun nodded and then led them to his resting room in the back courtyard, taking out a bottle of Grain Avoidance Pills, placing it before them,

"Stay in this room for now and remember, not a word of today's events is to be leaked!"

"Yes, Alchemist Zhou, rest assured, my wife and I swear by our Heart Demon, we won't reveal a word of this matter!" Zhou Jimin said firmly.

Zhou Xun nodded with satisfaction, then left the room and activated the room's Array.

While the Array is active, if anyone enters or exits, Zhou Xun will be notified through the Token.

"Husband, why did you want me to bring you to Alchemist Zhou's place? There are several alchemy shops in the market too," inside the resting room, Yu Xiu'e asked her husband softly, as she followed his instructions in all things.

"Because he is the most suitable choice!" Zhou Jimin's face was full of wisdom.

"Alchemist Zhou, though young, is already a Middle-Grade Alchemist. Even the Song family's son treats him with respect, and he has a promising future!"

"For us to work for Alchemist Zhou is already a great fortune, and besides, he has agreed to take Song'er as a disciple!" Zhou Jimin explained.

"Doesn't that mean our Song'er will also become an alchemist in the future!" Upon hearing this, Yu Xiu'e's eyes sparkled with excitement!

"Indeed, as long as we follow Alchemist Zhou's instructions!" Zhou Jimin nodded, though there was more he didn't say out loud.

"But I still don't understand why to seek Alchemist Zhou," Yu Xiu'e said.

"That Spirit Medicine, no matter how precious, is not something we can hold onto," Zhou Jimin sighed and continued.

"To trade it for a means of livelihood and a bright future for our only child is already the best outcome."

"Moreover, Alchemist Zhou is only a Middle-Stage Qi Refining Cultivator, and being a newcomer here, he lacks a foundation in this area, making it impossible to silence us without consequence,"

"On the other hand, presenting the Spirit Medicine's news to truly powerful figures would be an utter catastrophe!" Zhou Jimin explained.

Zhou Xun stood outside, listening to Zhou Jimin's slightly raised voice, nodding secretly.

"Even among low-tier cultivators, there are exceptionally wise ones!"

Upon first seeing Zhou Jimin, Zhou Xun felt something was amiss.

This person, though appearing deeply poisoned, was actually not life-threatening, and his unconsciousness was an act.

However, the act was so rudimentary it seemed intentionally made for Zhou Xun to discover.

Now it seems, this was all deliberately orchestrated by him.
