Zhou Junjie did not expect that the spiritual herbs he had given Master Sanyang previously actually contained the spiritual herbs needed in the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Zhou Junjie wanted to cry.
If he had known that these spiritual herbs were needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, he would not have given them away.
What should he do now? Could he ask Master Sanyang for it back?
How could he take back something he had given away? Where would he put his face?
Even if he went to ask for it, Master Sanyang was a true Foundation Establishment cultivator. What if the other party did not give it to him?
However, if he could not get those spiritual herbs back, he would not be able to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, and his Zhou family’s ambition would not be realized.
If his father found out about this, he would be in trouble.
“Sigh…”
Zhou Junjie thought for a long time but still had no choice. He could only brace himself and look for Master Sanyang.
More than ten minutes later, Zhou Junjie arrived at Master Sanyang’s location.
“Senior Sanyang.” Zhou Junjie immediately stood outside Master Sanyang’s door and shouted into the room.
Behind Zhou Junjie were a few people wearing the same black clothes. They were all security guards. They were all burly and strong. They were all Connate martial artists who worked for the Zhou family.
In the front room, Master Sanyang was originally cultivating. With the resources of the Zhou family, he also felt that he was about to break through to the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm. Hearing Zhou Junjie’s voice, Master Sanyang immediately frowned.
What was this guy doing here?
Master Sanyang originally planned to ignore him.
“Is Senior Sanyang here?” However, Zhou Junjie’s voice sounded outside the door again.
“What can I do for you?”
Master Sanyang opened the door. He was still wearing a Daoist robe and had a sage-like appearance.
Seeing Master Sanyang in front of him, Zhou Junjie was shocked again. He actually felt another sense of oppression from him.
It was not only Zhou Junjie, but also the people behind him.
“Senior Sanyang, I’m sorry to disturb you! Um… I want to ask you a question.”
Although Zhou Junjie sensed Master Sanyang’s strength, he was in the Zhou family and was not afraid at all.
“Shoot,” said Master Sanyang straightforwardly.
“May I ask where the batch of spiritual herbs I gave you last time is?” said Zhou Junjie immediately without hiding anything.
“Hmm?”
Hearing Zhou Junjie’s words, a strange look flashed across Master Sanyang’s eyes.
“Spiritual medicine?”
Master Sanyang was puzzled again. Looking at Zhou Junjie’s anxious expression, it was obvious that he was here for the spiritual herb.
Could there be something wrong with those spiritual herbs?
Young Master Li Hao had instructed him to collect those spiritual herbs. Now, he had already brought them to Jiangbei.
What Master Sanyang did not know was that those spiritual herbs had actually been refined into top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills by Li Hao.
“Yes! Where are those spiritual herbs? You probably haven’t…” Zhou Junjie quickly nodded again and asked anxiously.
However, before he could finish, he was interrupted by Master Sanyang.
“I did! Why? Is there a problem?” said Master Sanyang coldly again.
However, when Zhou Junjie heard Master Sanyang’s words, his face instantly turned pale.
“You used… used…?”
Zhou Junjie’s expression was extremely ugly. He almost could not stand steadily.
“But how can you use them if you’re not an alchemist? Senior Sanyang, our Zhou family still has a huge use for these spiritual herbs! If they’re in your hands, please return them to me! No matter how much it is, it’s not a problem… Name a price.”
Zhou Junjie still did not believe Master Sanyang’s words. He did not believe that those spiritual herbs had been used by him just like that. Master Sanyang was not an alchemist, so how could he use them?
Hearing this, Master Sanyang looked at Zhou Junjie with a sharp gaze.
“Do I need to explain to you how I used it? I worked for your family and got the Foundation Establishment Pill back. Can’t I use some spiritual herbs? It’s really disappointing! If that’s the case, there’s no need for me to stay here anymore,” said Master Sanyang sternly again. His voice was rude. Although he worked for the Zhou family, he was not a lackey of the Zhou family. He just wanted to use the Zhou family’s resources to strengthen himself. At this moment, Zhou Junjie actually spoke to him in such a questioning tone. Master Sanyang was immediately unhappy.
Foundation Establishment cultivators also had the arrogance of Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Immediately, Master Sanyang prepared to leave.
“That’s not what I meant! Senior Sanyang…”
Zhou Junjie’s expression changed again when he heard Master Sanyang’s words.
“It’s just that those spiritual herbs are really important…”
Master Sanyang glared coldly at the other party and walked forward.
“Move,” said Master Sanyang coldly again. A powerful aura was slowly released from his body and pressed down on the other party.
In an instant, Zhou Junjie and the people behind him became extremely shocked. At this moment, they felt as if a knife was placed on their necks.
Zhou Junjie and the others could not help but step back to make way.
However, at this moment…
“My family doesn’t stay and leave as we please.”
A cold voice immediately came from a direction. The voice had a powerful penetrating power that echoed throughout the space.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. A middle-aged man in a black vest slowly walked over.
This middle-aged man looked to be in his forties and looked a little similar to Zhou Kunlun. He was the second-in-command of the Zhou family, Zhou Changhe.
“Second Uncle.”
Zhou Junjie’s eyes lit up when he saw this man.
“Second Master.”
“Second Master!”
“Second Master…”
The people beside him also shouted at Zhou Changhe with respectful expressions.
Not only was Zhou Changhe the second-in-command of the Zhou family, but he was also Zhou Kunlun’s biological brother. He was also a true Foundation Establishment cultivator.
“Even the worshippers of my Zhou family have to abide by the rules of my Zhou family.”
Zhou Changhe ignored Zhou Junjie and the others. Instead, he looked straight at Master Sanyang and said coldly with an unquestionable tone.
“Why? You’re not letting me go? Do you want to force me to stay?” Master Sanyang’s eyes narrowed as he said coldly. He could naturally tell how powerful the other party was. His cultivation was similar to his, but if they really fought, nobody knew who would emerge victorious.
“So what if I force you to stay?” Zhou Changhe’s voice sounded indifferent again, filled with arrogance.
