Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the small shop, Zhou Ji and Zhang Hao were whispering head-to-head. 

” …a shop of fifty square meters is enough. I’ve saved some money on the rent.” 

“The key is that it’s quite difficult to make connections with this thing. Wait for me to ask you first. I don’t know if those supervisors have any connections…” 

Zhou Ji frowned when he heard Zhang Hao’s words. He thought for a moment and then stuffed a booklet into Zhang Hao’s hands. 

“Copy one yourself. Don’t tell anyone. If there’s really a connection, use this.” 

Zhang Hao had helped Zhou Ji with such things before, so he was quite familiar with them. He used to reward some key personnel with improved spells. However, this time, when he saw Zhou Ji’s sneaky behavior, he subconsciously glanced at the handwritten title on the title page of the booklet. 

“Na Yuan… Method?” 

Zhang Hao swallowed a mouthful of sh*t, but Zhou Ji covered his mouth directly. 

“Shh!” 

Zhou Ji hurriedly signaled Zhang Hao not to make a sound out of surprise. It was not until Zhang Hao’s face turned red that he reacted and let go of his hand embarrassedly. 

Zhang Hao was a little flustered. He glanced outside, closed the door of the store, and locked it. He lowered his voice and asked, “Were you the one who did what happened last night?” 

“Last night?” 

Zhou Ji felt a chill on his back and forcefully controlled his expression. 

“What happened last night?” 

“Don’t pretend, brother. Last night, three foreign Foundation Establishment cultivators died on the North Street. It is said that they sneaked over from Black Armor City No. 1 and committed crimes there!” Zhang Hao’s voice was very low, afraid that the walls could hear him. 

“According to the news from there, these guys killed a down-and-out young master from the inner city and obtained a lot of good stuff!” 

Hearing this, Zhou Ji’s expression turned serious. He suddenly remembered that the three bags he obtained last night had not been checked yet. Originally, he had planned to wait for the limelight to pass for a while before taking his time. He just didn’t expect those three guys to be so rich. 

“How could that be? What strength do I have? Those are three Foundation Establishment cultivators.” 

“Oh right, you’re just a Qi refinement…” Zhang Hao finally relaxed a little. Only people in the inner city usually possessed intermediate level cultivation techniques. The first thing that came to his mind when he saw this thing was the news that he had heard this morning. 

“Don’t worry, this thing was created by myself. There’s absolutely no problem with it.” Zhou Ji patted Zhang Hao’s shoulder, his tone very calm. 

This Na Yuan Technique was indeed created by Zhou Ji himself. Moreover, it was the first edition of the middle-tier cultivation technique that he created. If one were to say the overall effect, it was at the lower middle tier among the middle-tier cultivation techniques. 

On a remote planet like planet Bai Shi Er, this middle-tier cultivation technique could also attract a lot of attention if thrown out. 

In the cultivation technique area, the best was of course the top-quality Na Yuan Technique with three entries that appeared in the cultivation technique editor. This was also Zhou Ji’s cultivation technique. 

He had also improved the three versions of Na Yuan Technique according to this cultivation technique. The first version was considered top-grade primary level and was currently used as a collection. The third version was currently in the process of being perfected and was prepared to be taught to his daughter. The one that was being given out now was the second version. 

Zhang Hao was not a stranger. After hearing that Zhou Ji allowed him to keep a record, he flipped through the cultivation technique on the spot and tested it according to the instructions on it. The speed at which the surrounding spiritual essence gathered made his face turn red again. 

This time, he was excited. 

“That’s awesome!” 

This cultivation technique was dozens of times better than the lousy thing that he had previously cultivated! 

“With this thing, although I don’t dare to guarantee that you’ll succeed, there’s at least a 70% chance of success!” 

Zhang Hao put the cultivation technique back into his arms and said solemnly to Zhou Ji. 

“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Hao. In fact, whether I succeed or fail, I’m going to the other city. If I can’t get it done, I don’t need to return these things. Just take it as my repayment for your care all these years.” 

“Hehe, don’t talk about repayment. In the beginning, I only thought that you were easy to get along with. Later, when I saw that you adopted your daughter, I thought that you were a good person. Helping you was nothing.” Zhang Hao smiled and patted Zhou Ji’s shoulder. 

“At first, I was wondering how a guy like you had the confidence to go to Heavenly Armor City. Now, it seems that you really might be able to make it there. “Then wait for my news. I’ll give you an answer within five days.” 

As Zhang Hao said that, he picked up the luggage bag and turned to walk out. When he reached the door, he stopped and pointed at the small cloth bag that he had brought when he came in. 

“Also, these are the sweets, milk powder, and fruits that I bought for your daughter. You better not keep them all for yourself.” 

Hearing Zhang Hao’s words, Zhou Ji smiled helplessly, and his heart was also touched. He called Zhang Hao, Hao. These past few years, he was really like his big brother, helping out with all the official matters in the outer city. 

In these past few years, Zhang Hao had also sent milk powder to take care of his daughter every now and then. If not for Hao’s help, Zhou Ji and Zhou Xiao Rui’s life would not have been as comfortable as it was today. Many times, he even joked that if his daughter could not get married when she grew up, he would let his own little boy marry her. 

“Daddy, did Uncle Zhang come just now?” 

Xiao Rui opened her eyes at some point and stretched out her legs on the bed. It seemed that she had gone numb just now. 

“Yes, he brought some delicious food for Xiao Rui.” Zhou Ji carefully studied the cultivation technique in front of him and changed it one stroke at a time. 

Xiao Rui tilted her head as if she was seriously thinking about something. After a long time, she said, “I just heard from daddy that we are going to move?” 

Zhou Ji stopped writing; he gently rubbed his daughter’s hair. “Yes, we are going to move. We are going to a bigger city. There will be more delicious food, richer spiritual essence, and a better school for Xiao Rui to teach her cultivation.” 

“But, if we leave, Little White will miss us.” 

Little White was a puppy from the clothing store next door. He was of mixed ancestry. Zhou Ji remembered that when they had just brought it back, they would take it out for a walk every day. However, after two or three days of interest, they stopped caring about it. That dog was locked outside the door every day and was not even allowed to enter the main door. 

The owner would occasionally remember to feed it something. If he could not remember, the dog would go to the garbage dump by itself and get dirty. The owner also disliked the dog more and more, and would often beat and scold it. In name, it had an owner, but in reality, it was no different from a stray dog. 

Xiao Rui didn’t have many friends. She would often feed Little White some leftovers from her own home. Occasionally, Zhou Ji would eat meat, and she would also feed Little White bones to satisfy its craving. After a while, the dog became familiar with Xiao Rui. Sometimes, it didn’t even listen to the owner and would only listen to Xiao Rui. 

“It doesn’t matter. We can talk to the neighbors and buy Little White. But if we buy Little White, Xiao Rui will have to bear the responsibility of disciplining Little White and feeding it.” 

Zhou Ji held his daughter in his arms and placed his palm on the soles of her feet. He used his spiritual essence to wash the meridians in his legs over and over again. After a while, she jumped down..
