Chapter 199: 198, Collective Realm Enhancement (3/4) "That doesn’t seem to be my business."
"But you have the spiritual meals to remove this tomb poison. You just need to increase the amount, using more Jianmu tree leaves."
"Even then, it’s not my concern."
Since the Mo Yue incident, Wen Ping had little interest in using spiritual meals to help others, even if he lacked gold coins he didn’t want to do so. Because deciding who deserves saving and who doesn’t is difficult.
Besides, he’s not a physician. He leaves matters of healing the world to those big shots. For someone like him who enjoys a simple life, it’s enough to just mind his own business.
And he had only met Biyue Piaoran once; whether she lives or dies is nothing to him.
With that, Wen Ping saw off Biyue Piaoran.
Biyue Piaoran’s visit was just like a small episode, and Wen Ping didn’t intentionally remember it. He quickly returned to the kitchen and served the upgraded Moonlight Dumplings into porcelain bowls.
When he broke one apart with chopsticks, green juice flowed out.
Of course, this green wasn’t eerie but rather the fresh green of tender leaves, representing new life, symbolizing vitality.
He picked one up and put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it. Instantly, a warm current surged into his meridians, a very subtle feeling. By his estimation, if he were still in the Body Refining Realm,
that warm current just now could at least instantly elevate him by one or two small realms!
Of course, this was just an estimate.
At this moment, Zhao Yi ran over, "Sect Leader, everyone is gathered in the main hall."
"Mm."
Wen Ping nodded and stepped out of the kitchen.
Arriving in front of the main hall, he first glanced at Yun Liao who was standing aside, then said to everyone, "Today, I’ve gathered everyone here to make an announcement. First, congratulations to Elder Yun for breaking through to the Profound Realm!"
Clap, clap, clap—
Thunderous applause erupted.
Wen Ping continued, "After the congratulations, let’s talk business. The new spiritual meals are already prepared for everyone, but as per our habit of charging a fee, each bowl only costs 1000 gold coins."
Upon hearing Wen Ping’s words, no one complained about the 1000 gold being expensive or anything.
Everyone was waiting for what came next!
The Moonlight Dumplings were such a wonderful thing, the Sect Leader made them for free, so what would the charged spiritual meals be like?
No one could imagine, because it was beyond imagination. But everyone knew, it could only be better!
Wen Ping continued, "The upgraded Moonlight Dumplings can help Body Refining Cultivators break through one or two realms. For the Profound Realm, they can enhance the Purity Body. If anyone wishes to try, you may head to the kitchen now."
With those words, everyone looked at each other, then followed Wen Ping’s footsteps towards the kitchen.
Without exception, everyone took a bowl.
Lin Kewu had been eagerly awaiting this, and holding the bowl, he scooped up dumplings, disregarding their temperature, and put them straight into his mouth. As soon as the upgraded Moonlight Dumplings entered his mouth, his expression began to change.
A rush of heat instantly spread throughout his body.
After finishing a bowl, Yang Lele quickly urged him from the side, "Hurry to the dormitory area to bathe, you’re about to undergo Purification."
Lin Kewu nodded and hurried out.
Of course, he knew not to linger, for he had seen the process of Purification before, which wasn’t a pretty sight.
...
In the dormitory area bathroom.
Lin Kewu watched as the black stains disappeared down the drain, his smile grew, then he casually swung a punch.
Intending to test his strength, but his smile suddenly ceased.
"This!"
"This!"
The repetition of the word "this" vividly expressed Lin Kewu’s current state of mind.
He was utterly speechless because when he threw that punch, his realm had astonishingly broken through to the 13th Layer. Only then did he recall Wen Ping’s initial words, that the Body Refining Realm could enhance realms!
That One Thousand Gold dumpling even allowed him to break through to the Body Refining Thirteenth Layer Realm!
He finally understood why the senior brothers and sisters always said the Sect Leader charged fees for another purpose. It wasn’t for money, but to make everyone appreciate the preciousness of what was offered.
After all, things that come free and easy are quickly forgotten!
That bowl of dumplings earlier, not to mention a thousand gold, he’d eat it even for ten thousand!
Lin Kewu couldn’t help but chuckle to himself, "With my current state, I reckon even the Three-star Academy would vie for me, right?"
Being at the Body Refining Thirteenth Layer at only 24!
And having already obtained the Purity Body in advance.
With such power, straight to Chief Disciple of the Three-star Academy, isn’t it?
...
Meanwhile.
