My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 143: The National Fortune Point of Sudden Wealth
moment.

Juxiu brought Zhou Ping to an office on the sixth floor of the building. She smiled at Jiang Xia and said, "Ms. Jiang, Mr. Zhou and I have something important to discuss. Please sit in the reception hall for a while."

Seeing Zhou Ping gave him a wink.

Jiang Xia turned around and left in annoyance.

Inside the office.

After sitting down.

Juxiu poured Zhou Ping a cup of tea, then sat on his thighs intimately, her arms around his neck, her body fragrance filling the air. "Before we talk about things, do you want to do something exciting first?"

She was almost sticking to Zhou Ping.

The bright red lips came to her mouth.

I can even smell the lipstick.

Zhou Ping's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't even react at all. He didn't want to get too involved with a woman like Juxiu, so he immediately asked, "Miss Juxiu, what is this jade ring you're talking about?"

Juxiu's jade-like fingers slid across Zhou Ping's chest, and she said with resentment, "You bastard, don't you want to be more intimate with me? I don't know how many dead ghosts out there want to eat me alive."

Zhou Ping frowned and said, "If you waste any more time, I'll leave."

"Good good."

"I'm going to talk business."

Juxiu suppressed the charm on her face and said seriously, "Mr. Zhou, your affairs at the Ancheng Resort are now widely spread, and I, Jing'an Si, naturally know some inside information. I believe Mr. Zhou is not unfamiliar with the Guigu Sect, right?"

Zhou Ping shook his head and said, "I'm not familiar with the Guigu Sect. This is the first time I've heard of this force."

Juxiu glanced at Zhou Ping. She didn't believe what he said at all. After all, Zhou Ping was a rising star in the Special Department and was highly valued by Director Wang. How could he not tell Zhou Ping the information about the Guigu Sect?

Director Wang’s intentions can be seen simply from the way the holiday estate is handled.

However, she did not expose the issue. "The Guigu Sect is just like my Jing'an Si, both of them are domestic civilian forces. But unlike my Jing'an Si, the Guigu Sect is even more evil and sinister. They have no bottom line even compared to the evil organizations."

Seeing that Zhou Ping was unmoved.

She gritted her teeth and continued, "The Guigu Sect is actually a demonic sect. They specialize in refining souls and controlling corpse puppets. You happened to encounter them at the resort, possessing a Taoist student. They weakened them a lot, and many of their methods are disabled. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for you to kill them."

"Under normal circumstances, they exist as souls. If they were souls at the time, they could escape to the cave space in an instant."

Zhou Ping's expression grew serious. Director Wang wasn't even aware of this information, and Juxiu's disclosure clearly showed her sincerity. "Since they're primarily spirit-based and can control corpse puppets, why would they possess the Taoist girl? Also, has the Guigu Sect infiltrated the three major groups and taken control of certain high-ranking officials?"

Juxiu smiled charmingly, "Mr. Zhou, I, Jing'an Si, sell information. What I just revealed is quite valuable. Anyone else who wants to know about the Guigu Sect will not be able to get it even if they pay a huge price. So, if you want to know the answers to these questions, you have to exchange them for something."

Zhou Ping cursed inwardly at the cunning.

This Juxiu first used some news to seduce him, and then showed her true intentions. Just now she seemed to be eager to get intimate with him, wishing she could get into his heart, but now she keeps talking about the deal. It's true that this kind of woman cannot be accepted.

Of course.

He also knew that the information from the Guigu Sect was indeed valuable and that he could not get any information from them by relying solely on connections.

"I can exchange it with talismans."

"We at Jing'an Si don't lack talismans for the time being. If you're willing to hand over that jade ring, I'll tell you everything I know."

Zhou Ping knew that the other party was staring at the jade ring.

He still doesn't know how to use the jade ring he got from the Guigu Sect, and his spiritual sense can't penetrate it, so he can't study it thoroughly.

But the more he thought about it, the more he realized that this thing must be very precious.

"It seems I will disappoint Miss Juxiu. I didn't get any jade ring."

Done.

He stood up and was about to leave.

Anyway, the thing is in his hands and he has the initiative.

Juxiu frowned, and hurriedly pulled Zhou Ping to her side. Her face regained its charming and enchanting warmth, her chest half pressed against his, and she said with a smile, "Captain Zhou, let's not mince words. The jade ring is indeed very precious to us Jing'an Si. It is a soul-related magic weapon, and only those who are proficient in soul refining and illusion can use it. It will be of no use to you, and will only bring trouble to yourself."

As she spoke, she said quietly, "You've seen the power of the Guigu Sect. Even if you can handle it, the girl Jiang Xia beside you can handle it, but what about the other people around you? If the Guigu Sect really targets them, what do you think will happen to them?"

Zhou Ping's heart sank.

In fact, he has been worried about this for some time, so he rarely left Jiangcheng, for fear that Guiguzi would come to cause trouble.

"If the Guigu Sect really wanted to harm others at will, they wouldn't cooperate with the three major groups. Even the three ordinary students in the Taoist Academy need outsiders to help them!"

Juxiu laughed. "Captain Zhou, you don't have to try to trick me. The Guigu Sect does have restrictions, but they're only temporary. If they were to come to you, you wouldn't be able to afford the consequences. So, if you hand over the jade ring, Jing'an Si will give you a spirit stone."

"High-quality spiritual stone."

Zhou Pingrao didn't want to show too much emotion, but when he heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank.

A high-quality spirit stone is equivalent to tens of thousands of ordinary spirit stones.

If converted into national destiny points.

That’s six million!!

It's a huge deal.

He knew that Jing'an Si was no ordinary person, had a very deep background, and was not short of spirit stones, but he never expected that they would dare to take out tens of thousands of spirit stones at will.

Juxiu continued with a smile, "What do you think, Captain Zhou? Our Jing'an Si is quite sincere, right?"

Zhou Ping knew that it would be pointless for him to pretend to be indifferent. He thought carefully and asked, "Is the jade ring really only useful for cultivators like those who practice soul refining and illusion?"

Juxiu said hurriedly, "I don't need to lie to you. After getting the jade ring, you must have tried many things."

Zhou Ping nodded, but he was still hesitant and asked, "Can you give me two or three days to think about it?"

"can."

Soon.

Zhou Ping and Jiang Xia left Jing'an Si.

At night.

He used the formation key given by the formation spirit to come to the space ship and took out the jade ring.

I really know very little about jade rings.

But the formation spirit may know what this thing is.

really.

When the formation spirit saw the jade ring, his tone was filled with surprise, "This is a Horcrux, where did you get this thing?"

Zhou Ping briefly explained. The formation spirit said, "Horcruxes are made of special materials. They are extremely valuable to certain cultivators who specialize in spiritual cultivation, even though they must sacrifice their physical bodies. However, they are relatively useless to other cultivators. Furthermore, Horcruxes can shield against detection. The reason I can't detect them is probably because of this Horcrux. It's just that the materials used for Horcruxes are relatively rare compared to other materials."

Zhou Ping suddenly realized, thinking that Ju Xiu hadn't lied to him. This thing could only be used by certain cultivators. "Zhen Spirit, you've monitored some special places on Earth. Those should be where the ancient ruins are. These people were able to obtain Horcruxes, and 80% of them got them from the ancient ruins. Can you use them to find the specific location of the ancient ruins?"

He benefited a lot from the ancient ruins. It can be said that he was reborn and even grew much faster. If he could find more ancient ruins before the earth's seal formation was broken, he might be able to grow even faster.

It is also possible to help the Phoenix Fairy.

After all, the other party is a powerful survivor from the ancient ruins, and only the things in the ancient ruins will be useful to the Phoenix Fairy.

The formation spirit said, "It's difficult. These people are able to block my detection, and they are acting so covertly. They must know that the entire world is within my detection range."

Zhou Ping's expression changed. He suddenly thought of what the Guigu Sect expert said before he died. The other party said that if it were not for the restrictions of the environment, killing himself would be as easy as killing an ant. At that time, he felt that the other party was a little too arrogant, but now thinking about it carefully, what he said was very wrong.

If it was really an ordinary cultivator who obtained an item from ancient relics and grew up rapidly, it would be impossible for him to say that he was restricted by the environment or something, and he also despised the foundation-building elixir. Because many cultivators, like him, have never really seen a golden elixir powerhouse, it is naturally impossible for them to know how many means and strengths the golden elixir has.

"Could it be that they are also powerful beings left over from ancient times, just like the Phoenix Fairy?"

Think of this.

He felt that there was at least a 70% to 80% chance. After all, since the Phoenix Fairy could survive until now, other strong people could also survive.

"Array Spirit, can an ordinary cultivator use this Horcrux to block your detection?"

The formation spirit said: "No, it must be refined."

Zhou Ping was immediately disappointed. This Horcrux was indeed useless.

I asked the formation spirit some other questions.

Zhou Pingcai began to meditate quietly.

A few days ago, he followed the rule of every two months and took out four items from the treasure hall of the space ship again. They were elixirs for Chen Xue and Tian Xiaoqin, magic weapons, battle clothes and rare materials.

He now has a magic weapon, and the pills he exchanged last time have not been used up, so he only exchanged for rare materials.

……

the next day.

Zhou Ping brought Jiangxia to Jing'an Si again.

Meet Juxiu.

He didn't waste any words and said directly, "I can give you the jade ring, Jing'an Si, but I want two high-grade spirit stones, 100 pieces of materials needed for second-level talismans and formations, and rare materials for refining magic weapons..."

Ju Xiu's mouth twitched, and she couldn't help but interrupt, "Captain Zhou, you're not asking for too much, but you have no intention of trading with us, Jing'an Si. Top-grade spirit stones are extremely rare, especially in this day and age. A single piece is invaluable. If the jade ring wasn't so important to us, we would never have given you a top-grade spirit stone. As for the remaining materials, Jing'an Si simply can't provide them."

Zhou Ping sneered in his heart. He didn't believe it at all. Maybe Jing'an Si really couldn't produce what he wanted, but it should be okay to give her a discount. After all, Jing'an Si could produce top-grade spirit stones, which proved that they had definitely entered the ancient ruins and obtained good things.

"Two high-grade spirit stones, fifty portions..."

Just spoke.

Ju Xiu interrupted again, helplessly saying, "One high-grade spirit stone and 10 sets of second-level formation talisman materials. This is the limit I can get. If it's more, I can't explain it."

Zhou Ping shook his head, "Two high-grade spirit stones is the bottom line!"

He had asked about the price of the array soul weapon last night. Since the grade was not high, it only cost tens of thousands of spirit stones, and this was because of its special material.

"Wait a moment, I'll ask the abbot."

"Row."

Soon.

Ju Xiu returned, "Alright, two spirit stones and 20 pieces of each of the second-level main materials for the formation talisman. This is the reply the abbess gave me. If Captain Zhou is not satisfied, we don't want the jade ring."

Zhou Ping looked at Juxiu and thought that this should be the other party's bottom line.

The value of the second-level materials of the formation talismans is actually not low, not to mention 20 pieces. However, Jing'an Si is indeed wealthy and can come up with so many things. Although the Cultivator's Home Mall has many types of items, except for the exercises, the value of all other items added together is not as much as this.

I don’t know where Jing’an Si got it from.

Like the ruins of Qingcheng.

It is almost in ruins, and many things are gone.

"We at Jing'an Si still need to prepare these things. We will conduct the transaction in five days."

"no problem."

Walk out of Jing'an Si's building.

Zhou Ping was extremely excited, and the emotions on his face could not be concealed. He really made a fortune this time, and could be said to have become rich overnight. Ordinary money could not stimulate him at all, but now he had two high-grade spirit stones, plus second-level materials. It was like an ordinary person suddenly gained billions of wealth.

"If I had known the jade ring was so valuable, I should have fought tooth and nail to keep the other two guys here!"

He couldn't help but think.

In his eyes, two high-quality spirit stones were equivalent to more than 10 million national destiny points.

This is the largest number of national fortune points he has ever obtained at one time since he obtained the national fortune virtual frame. With these, he can not only master the foundation-building method "Xinhuo Jing", but also continue to improve his spiritual roots and other skills. Moreover, if he obtains top-level methods like Xinhuo Jing at that time, he will not be short of national fortune points to improve his mastery.

"calm down!"

"It's just over 10 million!"

Zhou Ping couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and hummed a little tune, "Miss Jiang, let's go to the restaurant."

Jiang Xia said unhappily, "Look how happy you are! Are you involved with that vixen? Humph, you better be more careful. That woman has no good intentions."

Zhou Ping chuckled, "Don't be jealous, my heart is with you, and no one else can seduce me away."

Jiang Xia was very happy in his heart, but he said, "I don't believe you, I want to have a big meal."

"Okay, no problem, let's eat as much as we can."

He has just become rich and is feeling very proud.

Arrive at the hotel.

Jiang Xia still called Chen Xue and Tian Xiaoqin over.

This made Zhou Ping feel helpless. He had originally thought that while he was happy, he could try to make some progress with Miss Jiang in the evening. At least they could be honest with each other and appreciate her clean white skin.

"Honey, when are we going out to play? Xiaoqin and I are ready."

"Maybe in a few days."

Chen Xue didn't say anything else. She glanced at Jiang Xia and Zhou Ping and said coquettishly, "Okay, husband."
