255: Rich woman + breakthrough!

In the dead of night.

A green dao leaf was deeply rooted in the soil, continuously burrowing downwards.

The dao leaf stopped once it reached a relatively safe depth.

Inside the Small World.

The black-clad woman with a high ponytail was tense, her eyes filled with surprise and caution as she surveyed her surroundings.

Thatched huts, flowing water, tall mountains, blue skies... everything seemed so beautiful and serene.

And those majestic peaks, six of them rising from the ground, soaring into the clouds.

A simple yet grand mountain gate archway stood at the base of the peaks!

The vertical plaque was carved with the characters "Bixiao."

The black-clad woman recognized these peaks as the Spiritual Artifact that had just saved her.

Jiang Ning walked out of the thatched hut.

He cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist."

The black-clad woman flinched.

She activated her Spiritual Qi and raised an eyebrow.

"Who are you?"

Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

Not immediately resorting to violence proved that this woman could be reasoned with.

Thankfully, things weren't that bad.

He said earnestly, "The inn where Fellow Daoist was staying earlier, I paid for it. I just rested for a moment in the dao leaf, and then I found out the room had exploded."

The black-clad woman chuckled, "So, by your account, I'm the one who inconvenienced you?"

Jiang Ning waved his hand.

"Fellow Daoist, make yourself at home."

After speaking, he directly took out the jade void cauldron and began Alchemy.

At the same time, Jiang Ning constantly observed the black-clad woman's movements.

If she showed any intention of attacking him, Jiang Ning would immediately throw her out of the Small World.

This was Jiang Ning's confidence in daring to bring this black-clad woman in.

Anyway, after the poisonous hand couldn't detect the poison, it would probably leave after searching for a while.

The black-clad woman didn't move; she also sat down cross-legged.

She took out a jade bottle and swallowed a Medicinal Pill.

She also began to observe Jiang Ning.

This person... is an Alchemist?

Time flew by.

There was no night within the Small World.

Only a dozen or so hours passed after Jiang Ning finished refining the Medicinal Pills.

He placed these Medicinal Pills into containers.

Then the problem arose: how should he resell them?

Jiang Ning thought for a moment, then said to the black-clad woman, "I'm going out for a bit; Fellow Daoist, please make yourself comfortable."

The woman opened her eyes.

Without speaking, she closed her eyes again, adjusting her breath to expel the toxins.

She wasn't afraid of Jiang Ning running away.

This Small World, even the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty rarely had anyone who possessed one, let alone privately... such a treasure, this man wouldn't abandon it because of her.

Not to mention, all of this man's belongings were still here!

Jiang Ning controlled the dao leaf to travel underground for a while, then it broke through the soil.

He wondered if encountering this black-clad woman had used up all his bad luck.

This time, selling Medicinal Pills in the city went very smoothly.

Buying the prescription for the Mortal plague didn't cost much, and adding the medicinal seeds, it didn't even amount to one Low-Grade Spirit Stone.

Jiang Ning kept a portion of the remaining Spirit Stones and exchanged the rest for some medicinal ingredients. Incidentally, he also needed to put the refining of the Nascent Soul Tribulation Pill on the agenda.

His previous inn room was already destroyed, so there was no need to check out.

Jiang Ning booked another room at an inn.

After entering the room.

He entered the Small World.

The black-clad woman was still there.

Seeing him return, she opened a pair of beautiful eyes and nodded slightly, as if greeting him.

Jiang Ning grunted in acknowledgment.

Then he asked, "I'm about to take a spatial spirit boat to other places. What are your plans?"

She had no intention of hiding the fact that she was a female cultivator from Jiang Ning.

She spoke with a pleasant female voice.

"I still need to suppress the poison in my body in your Small World for a while. You can go anywhere, as long as you don't leave the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty; you don't need to tell me."

"Also," the woman took out a wooden box from her Storage Ring, "this is your compensation. I don't want to owe you."

Jiang Ning sensed it with his Divine Sense.

There were actually a thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones inside!

Damn it, if you pay like this, what was all my hard work refining Medicinal Pills for money before?

Was I just enduring hardship for nothing?

Jiang Ning cupped his hands. Before leaving, he gave a few instructions about Little Black and then exited the Small World.

The journey back was very smooth.

He once again used the teleportation array.

Jiang Ning was more familiar with it now.

The small wealthy merchants from Yunjian County who had traveled with him before hadn't returned, presumably still enjoying themselves in Yunhai Prefecture.

A quarter of an hour later.

He entered the territory of Yunjian County.

Days passed.

Even before Jiang Ning left the county town, he saw a sickness spreading throughout the entire city.

He was startled.

"Has the plague spread to this extent?"

He immediately entered the Incense Dao Visualization World.

Before leaving, he had dispersed the sickness from several villages.

And he had used the power of Incense to cure some "severely ill patients" who could no longer hold on.

Now, looking down at the entire area.

The light spots had become even more numerous.

In fact, those villages that previously had light spots were almost becoming a lake of light spots!

"So many!"

Jiang Ning casually took a look.

He found that almost every light spot was due to people seeking help because of the plague.

There were also some who had passed away during his absence.

Jiang Ning frowned.

There was nothing he could do; he couldn't take care of everyone.

Jiang Ning directly absorbed this Incense power.

In his mind, the progress bar began to change.

[Incense Dao

Jiang Ning: Greatly Compassionate and Merciful, Boundless Immortal Lord of Blessings and Life.

Rank: Qi Refining Realm Middle Stage]

"I've broken through!"

Jiang Ning was shocked.

This Incense Dao, in this year of great disaster, cultivating it was practically "cheating"!

It had only been a few days!

He carefully screened, using the power of Incense to stabilize the current "severely ill patients."

Then he flew with all his might towards White Immortal's Immortal Cave.

Half a day later.

Jiang Ning entered White Immortal's cave.

White Immortal saw Jiang Ning and said excitedly, "Immortal Venerable! You're finally back. Was this trip smooth?"

Jiang Ning grunted in acknowledgment.

He took out the prescription and medicinal ingredients from his Storage Ring.

"These are the things I found on this trip: prescriptions and medicinal ingredients for these two types of plague, as well as some seeds.

However, you don't need to immediately spread these.

You will still be my Immortal messenger. First, secretly observe those common people with firm beliefs and good character, and record them.

Additionally, my suggestion to you is that, in addition to satisfying the above two conditions, it would be even better if they are also proficient in pharmacology."

White Immortal looked at the prescription and medicinal ingredients and excitedly agreed.

He had invested so much; it was finally harvest season!

"Immortal Venerable, rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter well for you!"

"Hmm."

Jiang Ning didn't say much else; he let White Immortal handle the rest.

When someone is busy working for you, you always have to give them some benefits.

He wouldn't give specific instructions; he would let White Immortal operate on his own.

After White Immortal left.

He once again entered the Incense Dao Visualization World.

This time, the light spots were becoming more and more numerous.

Jiang Ning pondered.

Initially, White Immortal had only developed a single village of followers before he was detected and imprisoned in the dungeon.

Although his current number of light spots was not as many as a village, the faith of these followers was very firm.

If it weren't for the fact that the county magistrate and other officials had already been killed by him, and the Canglan Guard was also investigating his whereabouts here, he would probably have already been discovered.

But under the dual "torment" of plague and famine, his followers would only grow in number.

Confronting the Canglan Guard, or even the Prefect of Yunhai, was only a matter of time!

"It seems a detailed development plan must be formulated."
