Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens

Chapter 397: Chapter 32: Ten forge a grade-1 pills
 

These two individuals, one not very old at about twenty-five or twenty-six, possessed quite a handsome appearance. The other followed behind, looking to be in his fifties or sixties with a flowing white beard, and an aura akin to that of an immortal.

As for their strength, neither was particularly strong, only about Galaxy 6 or 7-dans. In the Buddhist Sect, they would merely be at the level of an ordinary novice monk.

“Master, I’ve seen them before!”

At this moment, the voice transmission of Miao Neng Zen Master reached his ears.

Blue Cloud Venerable turned to look and then heard his disciple’s voice ring clearly: “It was at the Wanxiang Sect where I had just purchased a house and they were brought inside. Even if they are not holders of the Sky Blue Card, they must have a very important relationship!”

“Is it them?”

The Blue Cloud Venerable paused for a moment and looked at the two individuals again, but under the lead of a bitter gourd-faced middle-aged man, they entered the room, disappearing from sight.

Looking up at Yao Yun, he couldn’t help but ask, “Who are these two?”

Yao Yun smiled slightly, “They are guests of the teacher, the details are not convenient to disclose, I am truly sorry!”

“It’s alright, I spoke out of turn,” expressed the Blue Cloud Venerable nonchalantly, no longer inquiring as he stepped into the adjacent living room, his eyes flashing with a glimmer of surprise and confusion.

The Sky Blue Card is very precious, but it isn’t very useful in the Medicine Sect, and to see Jiang Li personally receiving them and even neglecting himself indicated that these two must hold extraordinary identities and statuses.

If the previous guess was correct, if one indeed is the inheritor of the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony, even if wanting to take them by force, it warrants careful consideration.

…

“This Jiang Li, I have heard, is one of the pinnacle elders of the Medicine Sect, the leader of the pill forging lineage, and his cultivation profound and unfathomable!”

Unaware of the Buddhist high monk’s shock and confusion, Empyrean Kong shi was transmitting to Zhang Xuan.

Hearing that this prominent figure wanted to see them personally, they were somewhat surprised.

It’s just eating a medicine; no need to disturb such a formidable figure, right?

“Let’s go over and see, if there’s a chance to form relationships, many things will be much safer!”

Zhang Xuan nodded.

Seeing him is not worrisome.

Previously when his cultivation was low, he had seen the Space-Time Saint, Yuan Sheng Palace Master and others; he had seen nothing special, and with his cultivation progressing, he naturally feared even less.

Entering the room, his eyes landed on Jiang Li who was in the middle of forging pills.

From the time Bian Zhongwen went out to invite them until he returned, it had not been half a short hour, and during this time, Jiang Li had again freshly forged hundreds of Earth Nether Yellow pills, enhanced with Ice Licorice and Ice Crystal Grass, each pill brimming with spiritual energy and a chilling aura.

Clearly, they were no longer defective, but perfectly successful.

“Elder… they have been brought here!”

Bian Zhongwen hastily gave a salute with clasped hands, then turned his head towards the two, indicating with his eyes, “This is Elder Jiang, quickly pay your respects!”

“Nice to meet Elder Jiang!” Zhang Xuan and his companion hurriedly bowed, not daring to slight.

Jiang Li nodded slightly, his gaze curiously sweeping over them.

These two, just as Bian Zhongwen described, did not have high cultivation levels, nor displayed any special constitutions, but not only could they consume five kilograms of Earth Nether Yellow and determine what ingredients were missing based on taste, it was indeed puzzling.

“I’ve seen your reactions after consuming the Earth Nether Yellow, I have re-forged the pills, and the effect is indeed satisfactory!”

Jiang Li did not exchange courtesies, directly expressing his intentions, “How did you discern that this medicine needed Ice Crystal Grass or Ice Licorice added?”

Zhang Xuan smiled naively: “I just felt it was a bit bitter after eating it, and slightly hot; after thinking it over, adding a stalk of Ice Licorice could solve the problem…”

The Library of Heaven’s Path had already analyzed the defects of the medicine, so he naturally knew what was missing.

“I thought the same, considering the medicine’s unappealing look, adding Ice Crystal Grass not only has an icy property but also enhances the beauty of the medicine…” Empyrean Kong shi also spoke.

Observing them closely, knowing they were not telling the truth, but Jiang Li did not continue to inquire, he continued, “I called you here to try other medicinal materials, if performed well, this lord won’t be stingy; Merit Points or whatever, you can have as much as you want!”

“If sufficient Merit Points are provided, Elder Jiang, whatever medicine you wish for us to test, however many, isn’t a problem!”

Zhang Xuan nodded.

Jiang Li said, “As such, let me speak frankly upfront, my medicines, because they are imperfect, contain severe poison. If your body cannot endure and you die, even if previously promised a lot of Merit Points, they will be of no use if you are dead!”

One of the elders on the side added, “Previously, some cultivators wanted to try as well, all ended up poisoned to death. Testing medicines is most important to know your limitations and not covet Merit Points…”

“I understand!” Zhang Xuan nodded.

Having clarified what needed to be said, Jiang Li’s wrist moved, and suddenly, ten jade bottles appeared in a row in front of them.

“Each of these bottles contains different forge pills, because the tiers differ, the Contribution Values also vary.”

Jiang Li introduced, “The very first on the left, consume one pill, write out your useful sensations, and if not dead, you can gain one Contribution Point. The second one, you can gain two points, and so on, the final one, you can obtain 10 points!”

“To gain ten points with just one pill?”

Zhang Xuan and Empyrean Kong shi exchanged glances, showing their astonishment.

One Contribution Point could turn someone from Refugees into Tier-5 Citizens, and 10 points were even sufficient for Tier-4 Citizens.

At the Citizen Registration Office, earning so many Merit Points might entail years of effort, risking nine deaths for one life, yet here, just consuming one pill… the difference was indeed too huge.

Clearly, for ordinary people, Merit Points are items worth living and dying for, but to these top figures, they’re merely toys.

Seeming to see their confusion, Jiang Li said, “Don’t think it’s simple, the sensations I need are those useful for pill formation. If you write haphazardly with little benefit to forging pills, Merits can only be given according to Bian Zhongwen’s standard, testing ten pills, only then obtaining one point.”

“We understand!” The two were solemn.

Since it involves Merit Points, it would not be so easy to obtain.

“Choose! Whichever you select, consume that one, and there is paper there, write out your sensations…”

Waving his hand, Jiang Li spoke no further.

Zhang Xuan and Empyrean Kong shi exchanged another glance, hesitated for a moment, then simultaneously walked towards the far left pill bottle.

Although they were very eager to try the pill worth 10 Merit Points directly, to keep a low profile, they rather started with the lowest potency.

“Master, these ten medicines, the one on the far left can easily poison a Galaxy 9-dan cultivator to death, if they eat it… will they really be alright?”

The previously speaking elder couldn’t help but transmit.

“A low cultivation level, using a high-tier medicinal product, provides the most effective and genuine reactions. If the strength is too high, using raw strength to resist, even if unharmed, they cannot provide useful advice.”

Jiang Li shook his head, a glint of excitement in his eyes, “Let’s see, even if they can only test a single pill, it is still good.”
