This statement made Zhou Jing seem like a real god, and many people actually believed it.

Although it was a superstition caused by their feudal mindset, it was quite beneficial to Zhou Jing. It put an even more mysterious veil on him, and the impression he left on everyone rose again.

…

After dealing with the demoness, Wei Zifu was in an ecstatic mood for the next two days.

After annoying Zhou Jing for a few more days, he finally bade farewell to him.

“The matter has come to an end. I’ve been out for more than half a year, and it’s time for me to return to my hometown. If I have the time to come to the south in the future, I’ll come and visit you again.”

At the entrance of the Ye residence, Wei Zifu and Li Qingyang carried their luggage as they bid farewell to Zhou Jing.

In the past few days, many nobles had expressed their desire to worship Wei Zifu as well, but he was a person who did not belong to the secular world, so they were all rejected.

Zhou Jing smiled and said politely, “We hit it off at first sight. Perhaps I’ll go to the north to meet you in the future.”

Wei Zifu was very pleased and sighed emotionally,

“In my opinion, the Perfected One will definitely be famous in the future. It’s my honor to meet such a person on this trip. When I return to the north this time, I will definitely spread the news of the Perfected One. I will teach everyone in the world that there are already people in this world who have mastered Natural Dao Realm. I don’t want them to think that the founder was bragging all day.”

When Li Qingyang heard this, he could not help but roll his eyes. His master was so shameless.

Zhou Jing smiled and nodded. “Take care.”

Wei Zifu and Li Qingyang bowed and did not nag anymore. They turned around and left, blending into the crowd and disappearing without a trace.

Zhou Jing looked around for a while before returning to the house. He saw Zhang Jinduan waiting there with his luggage on his back. He could not help but ask,

“Is Doctor Zhang leaving as well?”

“Old Master’s health has improved. He’s now fine and doesn’t need me to take care of him any longer. I’m here to bid farewell to you.”

Zhang Jinduan bowed.

Over the past few days, he had been coming to discuss medical skills and herbal knowledge with Zhou Jing every day. He had long been convinced by Zhou Jing and was not stingy with sharing his medical skills. The two of them could be considered friends.

“In the past half a month, I’ve benefited a lot from listening to the Perfected One’s explanation of the Dao of alchemy. I’ve been enlightened about many difficult problems and plan to return to my hometown to cultivate in seclusion. I’ll finish writing that ‘Miscellaneous Illness Diagnosis Record’, sort out my medical skills, and pass them on to the world. When it becomes a full-fledged manual in the future, I’ll visit the Perfected One.”

Zhang Jinduan’s tone was grateful.

When Zhou Jing heard this, he also became solemn. He cupped his hands and said, “In that case, I wish Doctor Zhang a safe journey.”

“Thank you for your blessings.”

Zhang Jinduan bade farewell politely and left the courtyard with his medicine box.

Zhou Jing sat back in his chair and looked at the interface. There was not much time left for his projection this time round.

There was another message on the interface. It was a new gain that popped up two days ago after the show at West Gate Docks.

“In that case, I can be considered one of the landmark figures of Ning Tian Prefecture. When the rumors spread and the world knows that I, an expert, am living in seclusion in the prefecture, I will become famous in the world. With this, the plan will reach the next stage.”

Zhou Jing heaved a sigh of relief and could not help but recall the information Mei Zhanqing had mentioned when she was captured.

The Emperor would come to Ning Tian Prefecture every year for a period of time…

As his thoughts raced, his eyes flickered.

…

Half a month ago, Ling Fengzi appeared.

In just 10 to 20 days, he had done three deeds that were popular among the people of the entire Ning Tian Prefecture. He had also helped the people avoid calamity, and there were countless people who supported him.

This matter was also recorded in the local Ning Tian Prefecture report in black and white.

As the name of Perfected Master Windwalker spread, he received much respect by the local powerhouses, becoming an honored guest of the noble class of the Ning Tian Prefecture.

From then on, he would oversee the entire prefecture. In the name of searching for the heavenly secrets, he constantly exposed himself, increasing his reputation and solidifying his status. His reputation naturally grew day by day.

After this trip, Zhou Jing’s consciousness left Bill’s body and temporarily returned.
