Jujutsu: Eight Magical Skills At The Beginning, Admission Is A Special Level

Chapter 9: Unexpectedly, You Turned Out to Be Such a Senior Sister

"In the past three to five years, I haven't seen you once. But these past few days, you've been even more diligent than my husband. Especially today, I just saw you off and haven't even had a chance to rest, and here you are again."

The beautiful woman teased a few times, then her bright eyes turned to Lu Bei, instantly lighting up. "As expected, this must be Junior Brother Lu Bei, right?"

"Lu Bei, I've met Senior Sister Zhu," Lu Bei politely replied.

Regarding the identity of this beautiful woman, Bai Jin had explained to Lu Bei while they were walking. Her name was Zhu Yan, the wife of Wei Mao, the county magistrate of Great Victory Pass. She had once studied martial arts under the Towering Heaven Sword Sect and was a fellow disciple of Bai Jin, both being disciples of the sect's head's wife.

The difference was that Bai Jin was an inner disciple who had learned the true teachings of the Towering Heaven Sword Sect, while Zhu Yan was an outer disciple who returned home to get married after ten years of studying.

The "Zhu" in Zhu Yan's name was the same "Zhu" as the Zhu Clan of Wu Zhou, a standard royal descendant. She did not enter the Extreme Monarch Sect for cultivation but chose to casually practice at the Towering Heaven Sword Sect, following the wishes of her elders.

After eight hundred years since the founding of Wu Zhou, there were simply too many princes and grandsons.

When the forest is big, all kinds of birds can be found;

When there are too many people, the forest disappears, and so do the birds.

Among the princes and grandsons of the Zhu Clan, there were quite a few ambitious individuals who aimed to inherit the throne. Some were just dreaming, while others had the capital to make a move.

Those who didn't have the capital and didn't dare to dream would fear the surging undercurrents and voluntarily withdraw from the center of power struggle.

Over time, an unwritten rule emerged within the Zhu Clan. Those who gave up their generational names in the family genealogy were considered to have given up the blessings of their ancestors. From then on, they would not be recorded in the Zhu Clan's genealogy.

To serve with eternal loyalty, to be upright and honorable, to cultivate talents and uphold righteousness.

To establish lofty aspirations, to carry on the excellence of the ancestors, to remember diligence and filial piety, to be praised and respected for generations.

To be a pure and accomplished talent, to value virtue like pine trees, to respect the teachings of the law, and to bring prosperity to the country and the world.

To appreciate poetry and rituals, to achieve great accomplishments, to inherit the wisdom of the past, and to bring prosperity and blessings.

The above are the generational names in the Zhu Clan's genealogy. It was clear to the naked eye that Zhu Yan didn't have a single generational name. By becoming a disciple of the Towering Heaven Sword Sect instead of the Extreme Monarch Sect, everything was explained.

Of course, even if she gave up, the bloodline of the Zhu Clan couldn't be washed away. Despite being married and not having come from the Extreme Monarch Sect, Zhu Yan still held a position in the Great Victory Pass of the Extreme Monarch Sect.

As she put it, it was better to find a job that paid a monthly salary than to be idle. It would allow her to buy cosmetics for herself and her daughter during festivals.

By the way, her daughter also became a disciple of the Towering Heaven Sword Sect, and her master was Bai Jin.

Zhu Yan and Bai Jin had a long-standing friendship that didn't involve any high molecular polymers. When Bai Jin was busy with Lu Bei's matters, she often sought Zhu Yan's help in Great Victory Pass.

"I've met Junior Brother Lu Bei. Junior Brother, you have such a handsome face. Tsk tsk... Junior Brother, please have a seat and make yourself at home as if it were your own place."

Zhu Yan circled around Lu Bei, making clicking sounds with her mouth. Then she grabbed Bai Jin's wrist and led her to the side, whispering in a low voice.

The two women whispered to each other, and Lu Bei, curious, listened in and caught three keywords.

Master Uncle, Sect Leader, Master.

Seeing Bai Jin getting more and more excited and occasionally giggling, Lu Bei felt a strong contrast. He had originally thought she was a fairy floating in the sky, but unexpectedly, she was down-to-earth in certain aspects.

I didn't expect you to be such a senior sister.

Please continue!

Having hobbies is a good thing, and there's nothing wrong with enjoying gossip. Compared to the senior sister who doesn't care about worldly matters, Lu Bei felt that the current Bai Jin was more approachable.

Gossip not only brings joy but also enhances interpersonal relationships. It is the foundation of trust between people and the ladder of human civilization progress...

As Zhu Yan became more engrossed in gossip, she and Bai Jin exchanged their own imagined plotlines. She decided to book a separate room and have a night-long chat with her good senior sister.

Lu Bei went to his guest room with his servant, while Bai Jin pondered for a moment and decided to stay for one more night. She thought that staying one more night wouldn't delay their journey too much, so she gladly accepted Zhu Yan's invitation to stay at Wei Mansion.

As for Wei Mao, the master of the Wei family, he was busy with official duties and didn't return home all night. Lu Bei only met him the next day at noon.

...

The next day, Bai Jin broke her promise and didn't rush to continue their journey early in the morning. Instead, she decided to stay for one more night.

The last night.

Lu Bei lacked interest in the gossip of the two senior sisters, so he thought about going out to see if there were any tasks available. He pretended to go out and explore to broaden his horizons, but Bai Jin decisively rejected him and detained him in the study.

The outside world is very dangerous. What if he accidentally bumped into something and damaged his Apex Level cultivation brain?

The study is safer, and reading more books is beneficial and harmless!

Lu Bei knew that he couldn't compete with the senior sisters, so he started rummaging through the study. Wei Mao and Zhu Yan both had cultivation, so there was a high possibility of having extraordinary secret manuals hidden at home. With his luck, he might just find one on the bookshelf.

He didn't find any extraordinary secret manuals, but he became interested in a book about alchemy. The book contained formulas and processes for more than ten different types of pills, as well as annotations in two different handwriting styles.

This time, Lu Bei learned his lesson and didn't try to test his aptitude. Instead, he directly opened his personal panel to check for new messages.

[You have come into contact with the formula for the Spirit Opening Pill. Do you want to spend 10 Skill Points to learn it?]

[You have come into contact with the formula for the Blood Replenishing Pill. Do you want to spend 20 Skill Points to learn it?]

[You have come into contact with the formula for the Qi Accumulation Pill. Do you want to spend 20 Skill Points to learn it?]

[You have come into contact with the formula for the Hemostasis Pill...

...

"This formula..." Lu Bei raised an eyebrow and vaguely thought of a possibility. "If I remember correctly, Zhu Senior Sister is in charge of the account books for the Alchemy Room in Great Victory Pass. Although the position is not high, there is a lot of profit... I mean, she has many connections."

Footsteps approached, and Lu Bei turned around to see a middle-aged man in light armor entering the study.

With a tanned complexion and a straight back, one could vaguely see the handsomeness of his youth in his facial features.

Wei Mao.

Wei Mao was the county officer of Great Victory Pass, a military officer responsible for the military affairs of Great Victory Pass.

Due to its geographical location and historical significance, Great Victory Pass had a large number of stationed troops. Being able to hold the position of county officer here indicated that great success was within reach.

"Younger Brother Lu?"

"It is Lu Bei, but is Senior Sister's husband?"

"Younger Brother, please be polite and call me Senior Brother."

"Senior Brother."

"Good."

The conversation between the two men was concise. Wei Mao saw the alchemy book in Lu Bei's hand, raised his hand to let him be, and then left without disturbing him.

Wei Mao had no particular interest in coming to the study. He had heard from Zhu Yan that there was a guest in the study, so as the head of the family, he came to show some hospitality and put a face to the name.

Because it was just a formality, there was nothing else to do after the introduction.

"No wonder Zhu Senior Sister is not satisfied with a life of luxury. She has to find someone outside to pass the time. Senior Brother is so boring..."

Lu Bei muttered quietly. If it were his superior in the LSP, he would have already come up with several plans involving a hoe.

Whether he could knock down a wall was not important; what mattered was the taste of success.

After all, being of noble royal blood was equivalent to being a princess, beautiful and graceful, and she even had a husband and a daughter. Just thinking about it was exciting.

Lu Bei didn't consider it because, firstly, he was an upright person, and secondly, his strength made him upright. His thoughts were focused on the alchemy formulas.

Continuing his previous train of thought, Zhu Yan was in charge of the account books for the Alchemy Room in Great Victory Pass. With her help, it wouldn't be difficult to infiltrate the Alchemy Room and become an intern alchemist.

"If it works out, even if I can't take on quests like players, my leveling speed will increase significantly." Lu Bei narrowed his eyes and vaguely saw a massive amount of experience coming towards him.

But before that, he had to curry favor with Zhu Yan so that she would be willing to help him.

Lu Bei wasn't familiar with Zhu Yan, so it wouldn't be appropriate to suddenly curry favor with her. To prevent Wei Mao from getting the wrong idea, he decided to find Bai Jin.

Not to brag, but he had already become close with these two long legs. They wouldn't refuse his advances.
