Chapter 337 - Soong Wanzhong Thought to Himself Thê source of this conte/nt n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
Had I not made my breakthrough earlier, hearing this news now would probably have shattered my composure!
Soong Wanzhong's eyes lit up as he received the two jade medicine bottles from Jiang Hao, his face beaming with warmth. “Nephew, you've shown me immense kindness time and again. I won't belabor the point—your concerns are now my own!”
As he clutched the bottles, a sudden thought seemed to strike Soong Wanzhong, and he turned back to Jiang Hao with a hint of trepidation. “Um, nephew, may I take the Martial Cultivator Pill?”
Soong Wanzhong had finally voiced his deepest desire! He knew all too well that self-reliance trumps dependence on others for protection.
Jiang Hao paused, taken aback, but quickly pieced together Soong Wanzhong's line of thought. Indeed, a Mortal Pill could transform anyone into a martial cultivator. But how could he let his future father-in-law consume a pill derived from a human? Even if no one else would find out, the thought was too much for his conscience to bear.
In that split second, Jiang Hao's mind raced with possibilities. Then, he decided to gently dissuade him. “Uncle, while the Martial Cultivator Pill is incredibly potent and offers a swift ascent, it's not without its drawbacks. A cultivator who relies on the pill for their power will find it much harder to advance to higher realms compared to someone like Uncle Hai, who has cultivated his strength naturally. Within the same rank, Uncle Hai would undoubtedly find it easier to progress.
“Moreover, with the recent resurgence of spiritual energy, it's possible that you could become a martial cultivator naturally once the energy becomes more abundant. So, for the future's sake, I would advise you to wait a bit longer. Firstly, if the spiritual energy grows dense enough, you might become a martial cultivator on your own! And secondly, if you still haven't achieved it by then, I might come across higher-grade spiritual materials and be able to craft an even more effective pill for martial cultivators!”
“Uncle could certainly ascend to a higher plane of existence in a single bound!” Jiang Hao was telling the truth, for this power was not gained through their own cultivation!
Upon hearing this, Uncle Hai breathed a sigh of relief.
I do have some influence in this world and would be glad to assist!”
“If it's not convenient, no worries!”
Song Wanzhong offered.
This was, after all, about his potential to grow into a more formidable martial cultivator!
He had to be earnest in his efforts!
Jiang Hao's thoughts were piqued by the suggestion.
Indeed! While the Human Pill didn't require spiritual herbs, he was certainly open to taking it.
Yet, his culinary creations could also bolster his strength!
And such medicinal cuisine called for spiritual herbs!
Moreover, the higher the quality of the spiritual herbs, the greater the effects of the medicinal dishes prepared!
