Elixir Pills! (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

Translator: 549690339

“This is a third rank elixir pill, the ‘Superior Gather Qi Pill,1 capable of gathering the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy, allowing you to temporarily obtain a higher cultivation level. Should you encounter an enemy of a higher realm and are truly unmatched, you may use this.”

Lu Changsheng summoned his two disciples, continuing to exploit the system for benefits.

(Ding, you have rewarded your disciple “Lin Qingzhi” with the third rank elixir pill “Superior Gather Qi Pill,” and received a reward of hundred thousand times return: an eighth rank elixir pill “Red Emperor Dragon Strength Pill.”]

[Ding, remaining number of rewards today -1.]

A hundred thousand times return?!

This was the second time in three years that Lu Changsheng had encountered a hundred thousand times return, as well as the second eighth rank elixir pill!

The value of an eighth rank elixir pill far surpassed that of sixth and seventh rank elixir pills, its worth immeasurable!

Even in Mount Shu, Lu Changsheng had never seen an eighth rank elixir pill!

Inside Lu Changsheng’s Daoist robe appeared a Purple Gold Bagua Gourd, no bigger than a fist, containing only one elixir pill, but it was a globally rare eighth rank elixir pill.

An eighth rank elixir pill, something that would move even the six major

Righteous Dao and the four Great Demon Sects.

Without a change in expression, Lu Changsheng rewarded his younger disciple

Lian with another elixir pill.

[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple “Lian” with the third rank elixir pill “Concentration Pill,” and received a reward of one hundred and fifty times return: a fifth rank elixir pill “Ice Heart Spirit Concentration Pill.” ]

[Ding, remaining number of rewards today -1.]

This time, the third rank elixir pill rewarded a fifth rank elixir pill.

This was a more normal return, as for the hundred thousand times return, one

could only say it was fortunate but elusive.

According to the rules of the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator, disciples below the Nascent Soul Realm can be rewarded with third rank or lower elixir pills, Profound Rank cultivation techniques, Yellow Rank cultivation techniques, and

Spiritual Artifacts.

Once a disciple reaches the Nascent Soul Realm, they can be rewarded with fifth rank or lower elixir pills, Earth Rank cultivation techniques, and Acquired Spirit

Treasures.

When a disciple reaches the Dao Palace Realm, they can be rewarded with seventh rank or lower elixir pills, Heaven Rank cultivation techniques, and

Innate Spirit Treasures.

Although his two disciples were still in the Golden Core Realm, they were only a few years away from the Nascent Soul Realm.

In less than ten years, to become an elder of Mount Shu, such a speed of cultivation was incredibly fast.

“I have an extra Concentration Pill here, and I’ll reward it to you.”

Seeing Chen Yao coming to seek out his disciples for an exchange, Lu Changsheng casually gave away a third rank elixir pill.

Lu Changsheng was not short of elixir pills; a casual fifth rank elixir pill could be exchanged for a hundred and eighty third rank elixir pills at the Elixir Pavilion of Mount Shu.

Chen Yao often visited Qingyun Peak as a guest, exchanging pointers with Lin Qingzhi and Lian, and occasionally receiving Lu Changsheng’s rewards and guidance.

With Chen Yao’s Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Physique, she fully met the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator’s requirements for a disciple’s aptitude.

Regrettably, Chen Yao had already been taken as a disciple by the Supreme Elders of Mount Shu and would not easily switch sects.

However, Lu Changsheng did not mind, as such a reward was trivial for him, akin to a hair from nine oxen, not as good as giving a favor in passing.

Cultivation was not just about fighting and killing.

Behind Chen Yao stood the Supreme Elders of Mount Shu, with unfathomably deep cultivation, and this was also a way to curry favor with that side.

“Senior Lu, how can I accept this…”

Chen Yao was flattered and surprised.

When she came to Qingyun Peak to find Lin Qingzhi, she realized that Lu Changsheng often rewarded his disciples with treasures and elixir pills, and she too was included on occasion, making her feel rather embarrassed.

In this world, there indeed were such generous people.

He really is a strange… good person indeed.

“This is your compensation for sparring with my disciple,

Lu Changsheng didn’t care at all,

He already had two Profound Rank elixir pills, and as for a third rank elixir pill,

Lu Changsheng didn’t really value it.

Lu Changsheng returned to his cave abode and opened the Purple Gold Bagua Gourd he had obtained. A massive surge of medicinal power gushed out, and just a hint of the power that leaked made every pore on Lu Changsheng’s body expand, bringing an indescribable comfort to his heart, as if he had stepped into a fairyland.

“No wonder it’s a Profound Rank elixir pill, the medicinal power is so astonishing. With my current cultivation, if I were to swallow this elixir pill, I’m afraid I would immediately explode and die.”

Lu Changsheng felt the astonishing medicinal power of the Profound Rank elixir pill and quickly plugged the Purple Gold Bagua Gourd back up to prevent the power from leaking out.

According to the system display, the Red Emperor Dragon Strength Pill, a Profound Rank elixir pill, refined from a drop of the Red Emperor’s imperial blood and a drop of a True Dragon’s blood, could grant the user an unprecedented immense strength, but if the user’s cultivation and physique weren’t strong enough, they would undoubtedly be burst by this power.

Lu Changsheng knew that this was a divine-level elixir pill used for saving one’s life in the face of a powerful enemy.

If facing a foe of a higher realm, he could completely fight beyond his own level by consuming the pill.

Lu Changsheng placed the Purple Gold Bagua Gourd into the Dao Palace Minor Realm, together with the Nine Heavens Imperial Thunder Sword.

“I can break through to the fifth level of the Dao Palace Realm at any time now.”

Lu Changsheng had accumulated a huge reserve of power, and besides cultivating, he was also refining his body, otherwise, after numerous Power­infusing Initiations and returning cultivation, Lu Changsheng’s realm would have already reached the sixth level of the Dao Palace Realm.

However, the benefits of his thorough accumulation were quite clear; Lu Changsheng’s physique was not inferior to the Martial Masters of the Martial Alliance, and it was hard to find an equal within the same realm.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng would not easily suffer from qi deviation when breaking through because every realm of his was extremely solid.

In the span of four years, from the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm to the fifth level of the Dao Palace Realm, and concurrently refining his body, such progress was shocking and astonishing.

“I’ll be entering seclusion for some time, you should cultivate on your own during this period,”

Lu Changsheng transmitted his voice to his two disciples.

“In a year there will be the Six Dao Conference, and it’s very likely that I’ll have to spar with elders from other sects. Who would think that by that time, I’ll be at the fifth level of the Dao Palace Realm and have also cultivated the ‘Nine Dragons Refinement Technique’? However, unless it’s absolutely necessary, I cannot easily reveal my true cultivation, as my goal is to survive until I become an Immortal.”

When Lu Changsheng entered into closed-door cultivation, Lin Qingzhi and Lian were not surprised.

In the past four years, their master would enter seclusion every now and then, and what realm the master had reached was unknown to them.

What amazed Lin Qingzhi was that, despite bestowing Power-infusing Initiations frequently, the master’s cultivation not only didn’t decline but improved day by day.

Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, Misty Peak, clouds and mists swirling around, the mountain breeze coming forth, the white clouds moving like soft and delicate silk. A flock of Immortal Cranes flew by, the mountains had running streams and hanging waterfalls, craggy rocks abounded, looking like a fairyland.

An ethereally beautiful fairy with ice-clear skin and a jade-like body, dressed in floating garments, stepped barefoot onto the lake surface, which quickly froze over. The entire surface of the lake became like a shiny mirror, and even time seemed to freeze.

“Disciple, you’re the most talented one I have seen, and only the Immortal who founded our Inquiry Immortal Pavilion twenty thousand years ago can compare with you.”

“However, you are cultivating the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art and walking the Dao of Longevity. All other cultivators, including me, are just passing clouds to you, and you must not develop feelings.”

“During the Six Dao Conference a year from now, you will teach the juniors of Mount Shu a lesson for me. I want to see the embarrassed look on that Mount Shu Taiyuan old man’s face.”

A beautiful yet icy voice rang out, belonging to the Fairy Pavilion Master.

“Not to develop feelings… Disciple understands. I have a question to ask,” Xia Ningxue’s mind wavered, and the lake rapidly thawed, the waterfall restored its flow, leaving only the ice under Xia Ningxue’s jade-white feet.

“Speak.”

“If Master is also cultivating the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art and should sever all worldly greed, hatred, delusion, arrogance, and doubt, why are you so fixated on the victory or defeat with the Taiyuan Real Man from Mount Shu?”
