Chapter 743: Chapter 579: Temple Ruins in the Deep Mountains + Chapter 580: A Solid Advantage_3

Once he realized that further pursuit was futile, he immediately stopped his fruitless efforts.

He could afford to win, and he could afford to lose.

If he failed this time, he would simply try again.

Moreover, Zhou Ping’an was almost certain.

Even if he continued the chase, he would likely end up in another unfathomable trap.

He must not be led by the nose by the enemy.

Instead, it would be better to deduce the next move of Old Monk Xuanming from the root cause.

As for the temple in front of him.

Clearly, it was not something he could probe into at present.

The old monk had only paced around the temple gate and had not set foot inside the temple at all.

"Better to return."

Zhou Ping’an turned around to leave, dissolving into a wisp of light smoke, and did not look back.

Trying to kill the old monk was just like trying to catch rabbits by grabbing at the grass.

His main purpose in coming to Wushan County was the big news that Green Lady had mentioned.

"Are you saying you found out unintentionally that the Northern Garrison had quietly moved south and has now reached within the borders of Yunzhou?"

Meeting Green Lady again.

But it was not in the County Yamen of Wushan County.

Zhou Ping’an didn’t summon the city defenders to meet him; instead, he quietly entered a wealthy merchant’s residence in the west of the city.

This place was one of the secret strongholds of the Azure Scale Cavalry of Wushan City.

On the day the city was taken, many rich merchants who received the news had already fled the city early.

The Ping’an Army had always allowed these businessmen and large householders to go unhindered.

If they wanted to leave or even flee to Qingzhou or Luozhou, Zhou Ping’an didn’t mind.

On the contrary, he saw it as a good thing.

The houses in the city, as well as the shops and lands, could not be taken with them anyway.

In their haste, there would be no one to take over.

Moreover, after these people left, it would be even more beneficial for Zhou Ping’an to implement new policies.

As long as they didn’t cause destruction or set fire to the city before leaving, most of the generals under the Ping’an Army would not be ruthless.

However, there were indeed some wealthy families who had lost their minds.

Seeing that they couldn’t take their property with them and unwilling to let others benefit, they ordered their servants to set fire to their houses.

The end of that wealthy Jia family was extremely miserable.

Qin Hao personally led five hundred cavalry and chased for a hundred and fifty li, killing his entire family completely, and took back all the family’s wealth.

Since then, there were no more wealthy families that were so foolhardy.

Even some County Magistrates who fled the city did not dare to mess up the official documents, but neatly arranged them in the study room to make the takeover easier for the "rebels" who entered the city, to avoid their wrath.

"Is this the Aperture Opening Pill? Husband, I knew nothing could stump you. I heard that with one Aperture Opening Pill, there’s at least a seventy to eighty percent chance of breaking through to True Martial..."

Green Lady was delighted as she took the glowing Aperture Opening Pill, habitually flattering.

Zhou Ping’an was already immune, smilingly pushed away her head that was nuzzling into his chest like a kitten, and shook his head: "It’s not seven or eighty percent, but a hundred percent."

The Top-Grade Enlightenment Pill could help the soul undergo transformation and greatly enhance Divine Will, and so on.

Its primary function was, after all, enlightenment.

Enlightening the delicate heart acupoint, enlightening the Mystical Primordial Divine Acupoint.

Transforming the spirit into Divine Sense and thereafter perceiving the world with even more clarity.

If there were a slight chance of failure with a Top-grade Enlightenment Pill, then with the use of a Top-Grade Enlightenment Pill, unless the user had no foundation at all and hadn’t even reached the Heavenly Human Sensing Realm, such improvement was foreseeable.

"Is it Top-grade?"

Forgive Green Lady for her slow reaction and limited knowledge.

Her original identity was just that of an insignificant Celestial Maiden dispatched by the Red Lotus Sect.

Her title sounded nice, but in reality, aside from her outstanding appearance, she really couldn’t be considered as part of the High Ranking Red Lotus.

A bit better than a disposable asset, just following orders.

Under such circumstances, it was already remarkable that she could recognize the Enlightenment Pill.

Now to find out it was a Top-grade elixir.

Furthermore, a claimed to be lost Top-Grade Enlightenment Pill, even the Elders and Protectors of the Red Lotus Sect sought but could not obtain.

How could she not be ecstatic?

"Go on, hurry up and break through. I’m still waiting to taste your cooking, and once you’re stronger, you probably won’t be so fragile."

Zhou Ping’an said with a smile.

"Hmph, you’ll see, I’ll show you my prowess in a bit."

Hearing these words, no matter how thick-skinned Green Lady was, she still felt embarrassed, evidently recalling the time during the taste test when Zhou Ping’an hadn’t really had enough to eat.

At most, he had just sampled the flavors.

In her heart, she was thinking, it was said that after breaking through to True Martial, both Divine Soul and body would transform in every aspect.

When that time comes, with a stronger body, she could make sure he had his fill when cooking.
