Chapter 67: 67, Medicine God Xue Qianqian! [Seeking Favorites, Recommendation Tickets] When Wen Ping awoke from his memories, Huaikong was staring at him with suspicious eyes.
He simply didn’t believe that the ingredients for the Qi Revitalizing Soup were all used incorrectly.
Because that was just too absurd.
The Qi Revitalizing Soup had been used around East Lake for a century, benefiting countless people, how could it suddenly be wrong?
Wen Ping lightly opened his lips and murmured, "Qi Recovery Fruits cannot be used at 300 years. Indeed, at 300 years, the Qi Recovery Fruit is at its mature stage, and even a twig of it can restore one’s energy. However, the truly perfect aspect lies before it matures. Before maturing, the Qi Recovery Fruit contains a droplet of Qi Recovery Essence, which is its best attribute. But once matured, it returns this essence to the soil through its roots. So mature means failure!"
"Qi Recovery Essence?"
Huaikong’s face slightly changed; those four words sounded vaguely familiar.
But he couldn’t recall immediately.
Wen Ping continued, "When using 300-year Qi Recovery Fruits, Lily mustn’t be 100 years, Star Shell shouldn’t be 30 years, and Tricolor Flower mustn’t be 70 years... etcetera, all of the celestial materials need their years changed. Otherwise, it will plant a seed that makes opening the Earth-Breaking Meridian Gate ten times harder for the drinker! Moreover, it will seal off the Middle Profound Realm gate!"
What his mother had once told him, he only revealed half of it now, and he had no intention of revealing the other half. Saying it solely to prove his understanding of medicinal cuisine would be foolish.
But even this half.
It left Huaikong thoroughly astonished.
No matter right or wrong, this comprehension of the Qi Revitalizing Soup is unparalleled.
Unprecedented over the past century at East Lake.
As Huaikong began to ponder Wen Ping’s last statement, his face’s shock was like the rising sun behind him.
Turning the entire world upside down!
He knew well over a hundred people who had drunk the Qi Revitalizing Soup, yet only three succeeded in opening the Earth-Breaking Meridian Gate!
This is definitely not coincidence.
If it’s really as Wen Ping claimed, then the Qi Revitalizing Soup might also make a Profound Realm cultivator hopeless in reaching the Middle Profound Realm.
One might find this even more agonizing than a Body Refining Thirteenth Layer cultivator forever losing hope in attaining the Profound.
"Sect Leader Wen, where did you learn this?"
"From my master."
"May I ask which elder Sect Leader Wen’s master is, who discovered this century-old issue with the Qi Replenishing Powder?"
"My master is my mother."
Wen Ping replied with a smile.
Without thinking, Huaikong asked, "Sect Leader Wen, may I know your mother’s honorable name?"
Wen Ping fell silent, then muttered to himself, "My mother..."
His mother’s name is: Long Xue
But only he and his father knew this name, not even the core members of the Immortal Sect knew beyond her nickname.
As for why his mother wouldn’t reveal her name, Wen Ping had asked, but she never answered.
When Huaikong inquired, he naturally wouldn’t answer either.
"Apologies, my mother doesn’t like others knowing her name."
"Understood."
Huaikong nodded somewhat disappointedly.
Then he called out to the Yang Family servants busy in the kitchen, "Stop working and extinguish the fire."
"This!"
Yang Zongxian heard these words and felt a pang of heartache; five thousand gold wasted just like that.
A Long was about to speak when Huaikong shot him a glare.
Having no choice, A Long sulkily hid behind the crowd, neither daring to speak nor interfere.
The feeling of being slapped in the face once again was far from pleasant.
Huaikong continued, "Sect Leader Wen, forgive Huaikong’s recklessness; I never realized the threat of this Qi Revitalizing Soup was so great."
"This concern is between Demon Chef and me; it needn’t be mentioned further. Doing good deeds sometimes yields no good karma."
"Understood."
Huai Ye was no fool; if today’s matter with the Qi Revitalizing Soup got out, it would surely attract the Profound Realm.
The Immortal Sect’s current state simply couldn’t withstand the Profound Realm’s coveting.
After the discussion, Wen Ping left the kitchen.
Huaikong started organizing people to collect the medicinal cuisine and swallowed it himself.
The uncompleted Qi Revitalizing Soup had little effect.
No matter what, these 5000 gold couldn’t be wasted.
But after coming down from Yunlan Mountain, Huaikong seemed somewhat dispirited, still brooding over the recent events. Noticing this, the nearby Yang Zongxian’s spirits were also slightly affected.
