Mu Zixi looked at Xu Xiaoshou in shock. She had thought she could pick up some unique skills as long as she was with the young man.
It turned out that he could scavenge for things so shamelessly. Was it right to do so?
Xu Xiaoshou had cunningly squeezed the old man for what he wanted. Finally, he got the Whale Candle Jade. But would Elder Sang give him the recipe for making the Origin Court Pill?
Under the expectant gazes of his two disciples, the old man with the conical hat let out an inaudible sigh and handed over a jade scroll.
“He succeeded?”
Mu Zixi couldn’t believe her eyes. Her master, Elder Sang, was someone as formidable as the Saint Servant.
The frightening gaze she received in the Spiritual Library Division and the telling off she got on the night of the Master and Disciple ceremony had left her in fear of the old man.
However, even such a formidable person could not avoid the fate of being exploited by Xu Xiaoshou.
She remembered what Zhou Tianshen had said—we will have meat to eat if we follow a champion!
That big, tall man turned out to be quite perceptive, she thought.
Mu Zixi could not help admiring Xu Xiaoshou. Had it been her, she wouldn’t even have gotten her hands on the Purple Hidden Jade, let alone the Whale Candle Jade and the recipe for making the magic pills.
: Admired, passive point, +1.
Xu Xiaoshou happily accepted the jade scroll. After mulling over it for a while, he said, “The Origin Court Pill is a seven-grade pill, right?”
“Hm?”
Elder Sang uttered a startled cry, then shook his head in laughter. He could tell what this lad wanted just by looking at his expression. As the saying went—One can tell if a dog intends to sh*t or pee when it sticks up its tail.
“Here is the recipe for the Innate Pill, a grade!”
Xu Xiaoshou took it gladly. He thought that Elder Sang was rather sharp. There was no need to give any hints when talking to such an intelligent person.
Xu Xiaoshou put the item away, then rubbed his hands, and said, “If the Red Gold Pill is a tenth grade one, it cannot meet the need of my progress…”
Mu Zixi stared with wide-eyed disbelief.
When she saw Elder Sang take out another jade scroll, she was in such awe that she gawked as if she’d found a new continent.
“What kind of magic pill is it for?” Xu Xiaoshou asked.
“Star-Away Pill, a seventh-grade healing medicine, which is more difficult to cultivate than the Origin Court Pill.”
Elder Sang explained, “You should first practice with the Innate Pill. Although this pill is a grade, the difficulty of cultivating it is no less than making an ordinary seventh-grade pill.”
“Oh, good. What about the medicinal ingredients?”
Elder Sang handed over a new space ring.
Eventually, Mu Zixi could not help herself, and asked, “Xu Xiaoshou, do you honestly know how to cultivate the ninth-grade pills? Even if you can, is it true that it is harder for a magic pill technician to advance to a higher grade?”
“So, why?” she asked as she looked at Elder Sang. She failed to understand why the old man would give the Star-Away Pill to Xu Xiaoshou, who was not even a magic pill technician. It was the top magic pill among the seventh-grade magic pills.
Frankly, Xu Xiaoshou was a little curious himself.
Understandably, I have confidence in myself, but why does the old man have more confidence in me than I do?
Or, perhaps he is more confident of himself? Xu Xiaoshou wondered.
Elder Sang shook his head and said nothing.
He knew the potential of the young man standing in front of him better than anyone else.
Others had usually underestimated the lad, and it had always been the case whether it was his cultivation ability or his ability to make magic pills.
He had enhanced the Red Gold Pill and Spiritual Pill by himself in a matter of days and achieved several other outstanding achievements.
In Elder Sang’s opinion, Xu Xiaoshou’s ability to make the magic pills was even slightly better than his ability in cultivation!
“The seventh-grade pill is not as impressive as you guys think.”
It is not good to be overly ambitious. But you, the young generation, should not have too much fear in your hearts when you start. You should realize that it is a struggle with Heaven and the Dao, whether it is the methods of cultivating the magic pills and spirit, or achieving the end of your goal!”
The seventh grade is only an Innate level technician. Besides having a reputable status, the person is at par with the swordsman of Master Level.”
It is no big deal!”
Mu Zixi was shocked. Those words of enlightenment forced her to open her mind.
Those who had different principles indeed have a different perspective on things.
The items that a young man could get his hands on in the Spirit Palace would probably be of low grade. However, Heaven and Earth are immensely vast. Were he to step outside, he would find that those things were nothing compared to what was available outside.
Xu Xiaoshou nodded in acknowledgment of those remarks.
As far as fear was concerned, he did not have any.
The seventh-grade magic pill technician was merely a minor skill attached to the Master of Cooking after accumulating 50,000 passive points.
“Huh!” After thinking about it that way, Xu Xiaoshou suddenly felt that the seventh grade was rather mediocre.
After all, a life living on the verge of dying is not enviable!
After the troubles go away, I will find the time and opportunity to get more passive points. My strength should improve a few more levels. Xu Xiaoshou thought.
After all, there were many of his passive techniques still at the Innate level!
Seeing that his two disciples seem to understand what he had taught, Elder Sang nodded with satisfaction, and asked, “It seems neither of you has stepped out of the Spirit Palace yet, right?”
