Chapter 232: Chapter 93: Clear Dew of Tranquility (3/3)

In the northwest of Da Chen, some people chose to join the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect to make a living, which, to the Da Chen government, naturally made them bona fide traitors and rebels, in need of a harsh crackdown.

But to the locals, this choice was commonplace — after all, if Da Chen couldn’t control them, then what harm was there in seeking other backers to rely on for survival?

However, even the remarkably adaptable people of the northwest would absolutely never consider joining the True Demon Sect.

Apart from true madmen, heinous criminals, and anti-social oddities, no one would choose the True Demon Sect.

The commoners and children captured in Kanming City because of the True Demon Sect had initially suffered injuries that were almost beyond healing, either disabled or with severe internal damage, which with Kanming City’s resources were absolutely impossible to cure.

If things had gone as usual, they would have lived their entire lives with such injuries and pain, becoming living examples of the True Demon Sect’s infamy spreading.

But this time was different.

Under the will of the Divine Repository True Person, and with the mobilization of various medicine physicians, all these victims were healed.

Even those who were castrated, a type of mutilation, were personally reshaped by Inspector Cao as typical examples!

Recently, the entire Kanming City has been vigorously promoting Inspector Cao’s achievements in leading the local officials to defeat the Heavenly Demon, heal the people, resist the Frost Calamity, and thwart the schemes of the True Demon Sect... If nothing unexpected happens, even if they failed to capture You Ruhui and Inspector Cao’s mission failed, he would not be punished but might even receive minor credit!

"But what were they doing earlier?"

Unlike others, An Jing was very aware that Inspector Cao had been waiting around the Western Mountain, awaiting for the Heavenly Demon to sacrifice the whole city and pollute the Earth Vein to find You Ruhui’s trail.

Whether it was ignoring the rampaging Heavenly Demon or the current acts of bestowed healing, to him, the people of Da Chen were nothing more than tools, not living beings.

As the saying goes, the best physicians prevent diseases before they arise, treat ailments before they manifest, and act before trouble occurs; the worst physicians resort to drastic measures like tiger’s balm and wolf’s venom—in An Jing’s view, Inspector Cao was thoroughly of the latter type.

Even in An Jing’s perspective, Inspector Cao was creating problems, fabricating victims, and then healing them... Were these victims supposed to feel grateful for his deed?

However, even saying that, An Jing had to admit... even if such a selfish, people-disregarding Inspector Cao... at least he would make a bit of an effort for the sake of performance record, shedding crocodile tears.

He would mobilize resources to embellish his achievements, rather than avoiding trouble by running away. An Jing thought he might as well give Inspector Cao a first prize in a personification contest. At least, he was a personification that knew how to improve, a star among beasts, whose death sentence could be carried out swiftly with beheading instead of being drawn and quartered.

——In any case, he must be killed!!

Besides that, the change in Kanming City was also about the people.

Now that Dust Li people afflicted by the demon calamity had flooded in, Kanming City was truly packed to the brim.

Walking out the door, the streets were full of tents made of various animal skins, with Dust Li people of different attire gathered in tribes, spread throughout every part of the city.

Since the City Guard Army patrolled the area, these Dust Li people were quite subdued — in fact, those who weren’t had already been lured away by the Heavenly Demon. In other words, those remaining were the honest ones who had been vetted by the Heavenly Demon.

This was not a big deal in itself, but An Jing was well aware that his Dust Li identity was fake!

Even though he could excuse himself as a member of a hidden major clan under the Bright Mirror Sect, if a real Dust Li tribesperson following the Bright Mirror Sect came to inquire which tribe he belonged to... that would be troublesome.

So when the owner of Youde Garden, an old man named Cheng Guangwu, found An Jing and discussed collaboration, An Jing had only one request.

"Everything else is fine, you can use my reputation for advertising however you want," said An Jing.

"I have just had a breakthrough recently and comprehended a particularly profound stage in Martial Arts; I’ll need to retreat for cultivation for some time and don’t want others to disturb me," he continued.

"That’s easy," said Boss Cheng heartily.

"That’s hardly a request. Jing Xuan, my young friend, what else do you want?"

"Although Youde Garden may not be a prestigious house, we do have some influence in Kanming City."

An Jing thought for a moment, "Then I do not know, could you find me a non-attribute Spirit Water? I can exchange it for Spirit Water of another attribute."

"That’s an easy matter."

Boss Cheng laughed heartily and agreed to the request.

That very afternoon, a portion of "Clear Dew of Tranquility" was delivered to the backyard where An Jing was in seclusion.

"Boss Cheng has so much clout?"

An Jing was initially quite surprised, but then he remembered that the other party was a top-class chef who had made his name in Shenjing before returning to his hometown to retire. Having considerable clout was only to be expected.

Even more, Boss Cheng did not even wish to accept An Jing’s Spirit Water in exchange.

"Consider it making a new friend."

Boss Cheng smiled, the elder who seemed to be from the same generation as Granny Huai brimming with vitality, his portly figure radiating a sort of Buddha-like presence, "Absolutely do not refuse, a genius capable of self-enlightenment, in Shenjing, I reckon even offering gifts would be impossible."

"For so many years, you are fulfilling this old man’s one wish."

"Then, I must thank Boss Cheng for his generous affection."

With the conversation having reached this point, what else could An Jing say? He naturally had to accept.

Clear Dew of Tranquility is not a Spirit Water worth mentioning much; it is an utterly pure non-attribute Spiritual Object, capable of nourishing the eyes, and moistening the five viscera, one of the most moderate and balanced among Spirit Waters.

This was precisely the best Spiritual Object for An Jing’s cultivation of the True Spirit Eye, now found.

As for whether Boss Cheng would suffer a loss... That was absolutely not the case.

On the second day after An Jing announced his seclusion, Youde Garden put out a large sign with the slogan ’Our establishment has excellent Feng Shui, a Martial Artist once gained enlightenment here!’ as an advertisement. The campaign attracted crowds, and indeed, many Martial Artists, even those from other cities, specifically came to dine here to share in the good fortune of the genius.

As Jing Xuan, quite a renowned Dust Li rich man in the main street, was well-known to many, the credibility of this advertisement was quite high. Some even offered money to bid for the seat near the window where An Jing had enlightened, and just for that spot, without discussing what dishes were ordered, the price for the seat alone was dozens of silver.

Moreover, as the Shopkeeper from Li Zhen Pawnshop also made appearances and verified that Jing Xuan’s strength was indeed formidable, even capable of fighting seven alone and killing seven Martial Artists from the True Demon Sect, everyone was even more convinced.

Jing Xuan had slain Martial Artists from the True Demon Sect and also rescued many who were abducted from the True Demon Sect’s storehouse—this news spread quickly and was immediately used by the Da Chen government as a propaganda example for ’Da Chen Dust Li, one family’.

In the propaganda, Jing Xuan completely became a model of a good Dust Li young man, a great friend of Da Chen.

Zheng Mo even planned to give Jing Xuan a rather substantial reward, but since An Jing was in seclusion, it was postponed.

As for An Jing, he was not foolish; how could he possibly go to accept the reward?

As soon as the limelight fades, he would leave immediately, without any delay!

At the moment, talking about seclusion was not just for show; An Jing was truly cultivating.

Although "Grasping Heavenly Moment" would take quite some time to prepare fully for it to nurture, he could still cultivate the True Spirit Eye!

In the Seclusion Room, An Jing took out the golden bottle that contained the Clear Dew of Tranquility.

As the saying goes, gold produces water, used to gather and foster vitality, pure gold is indeed the best material for storing various Water Element Spiritual Objects.

Following the Secret Technique of the True Spirit Eye, An Jing infused his own Essence Qi into the Spirit Water, slowly refining the spirituality within. When the Spirit Water was concentrated into two droplets, he would be able to drip it into his eyes and begin cultivation.
