Given this, he might as well consider how to acquire the spiritual grass needed to refine True Yuan Pills now. The Qi Refining Pills were useless to Liang Sheng at this point, like a drop in the bucket.
And the True Yuan Pill was the elixir to assist Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators in their cultivation. He finally understood why cultivators always talked about good fortune and blessings.
Without blessings and fortune, they wouldn’t know how to proceed on the rocky path of immortal cultivation as they struggled to acquire the necessary resources.
Liang Sheng spent this period quietly in Jinzhou City, observing the secular world’s changes. He initially thought that the matter of the Upper Green Sect killing the Great General of Zhou would drag on for a long time, as it involved two major sects.
Like in his previous life, disputes between two big countries could last for years unless one side manages to overpower the other. Otherwise, they kept going on.
Although Liang Sheng was worried, he wasn’t overly concerned. After all, he didn’t believe that such a worldly matter could last for ten thousand years, right?
Armed with his Twenty Health Maintenance techniques, he saw time as a mere number. Could the Cultivation World really be mired in endless years due to secular affairs?
Perhaps, even if the sea turned into mulberry fields and the sects perished, Liang Sheng would still be sitting and watching the clouds rise and fall, unafraid of anything!
However, a month later, news suddenly came from the Great Zhou Palace that Grand General Zhou Yikao had passed away due to his critical injuries.
This news shocked the entire world!
Then, the Great Zhou Royal Family buried Zhou Yikao with the treatment of a prince. Although people mourned his untimely death, they also praised the Great Zhou Royal Family. General Zhou’s life had been full of ups and downs, and his posthumous treatment could be considered the best in the world.
Liang Sheng received this news while drinking wine, and he was momentarily stunned. Since the Great Zhou Royal Family dared to announce Zhou Yikao’s death, it meant that the issue had been resolved.
Otherwise, if Upper Green Sect disciples never appeared, the cautious Great Zhou family would keep waiting.
Still, Liang Sheng waited for another three days, until Zhou Yikao was successfully buried, before setting out for the Capital to investigate the matter.
As soon as Liang Sheng entered the capital, he saw the immense respect for Grand General Zhou Yikao, as almost every household in the city displayed white mourning decorations.
Even the Great Zhou Palace was adorned with white lanterns. With this treatment, Zhou Yikao could be considered the number one person among the royal relatives.
From a distance, Liang Sheng observed the Capital’s Imperial Palace, which no longer had any cultivator’s presence, but he still carefully checked for another three days. After confirming that there were no abnormalities in the palace, he carefully sneaked in.
At this point, Liang Sheng was like a ghost as he examined every corner of the palace. He eventually found out what he wanted to know.
A month ago, Upper Green Sect’s Qi Refining disciples were captured.
And there were three of them!
As expected, the three cultivators had sneaked into the Capital to investigate upon hearing that Zhou Yikao was critically injured but not dead. At the first opportunity, they were captured by Chen Fengchen.
If the Upper Green Sect disciples hadn’t been cautious, with only one of them going to the palace to investigate, they would have all been caught on that very night.
However, even so, due to Chen Fengchen’s presence as a Foundation Establishment cultivator and the Zhou family fortune-teller’s ability, it took them only a month to capture the other two Qi Refining disciples successfully.
