24: Chapter 24 Abandoning Liu Ruyan, the Twin Sisters Come to the Door!

"The hundredfold return is certainly tempting! But giving her something now? That's suicide!"

Although Liu Ruyan was also a daughter of Luck, she was suspicious by nature.

She had just used her Divine Sense to scan him from head to toe, concluding that he was merely at the Qi Refining Stage, a Cauldron who needed to rely on her to recover.

If he were to take out a treasure far exceeding the level of the Qi Refinement Stage, one that could even pique the interest of a Soul Transformation Cultivator, and give it to her?

Duan Gujin knew exactly how Liu Ruyan would think.

With her personality of viewing others as tools and stopping at nothing to achieve her goals, she would never feel gratitude; she would only suspect that he was hiding a massive secret!

With his current Golden Core Middle Stage cultivation, before a Soul Transformation Cultivator, his life and death would be decided in a single thought.

"The risk is too high."

Duan Gujin immediately abandoned the thought.

That afternoon, he went to find Shang Ruoni.

He wanted to see if there were any daughters of Luck under Shang Ruoni's tutelage who met the System's requirements.

Previously, Shang Ruoni had said that her most capable Disciples were in seclusion preparing for the Sect competition and could not be seen for the time being.

Now, he had finally received news that five Inner Sect Disciples had come out of seclusion today.

Duan Gujin felt energized; with five people, the chances were not small.

He arrived at the side hall of the main palace of Danxia Peak, where Shang Ruoni was already waiting for him.

Shang Ruoni said, "Disciple, you've come at the right time! The Disciples you wanted to see have just come out of seclusion, and I have already had them summoned."

The door opened, and five female Disciples wearing Inner Sect green robes walked in.

Their expressions varied: some looked energetic, some looked a bit tired but had determined eyes, and others were very calm.

They stood in a row, looking at Duan Gujin with curious or calm gazes.

Duan Gujin quickly scanned the five Inner Sect Disciples.

Their cultivation levels were at most Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and at least Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

When his gaze fell upon the two young women standing side by side on the far right, the System's notification sounded in his mind.

Sisters! Two daughters of Luck!

Duan Gujin was instantly overwhelmed by huge ecstasy.

Sisters! Hundredfold return! Top-tier resources!

This temptation made him almost suffocate.

"Sisters! Just thinking about it makes me excited!" he shouted internally.

He coughed to calm himself down.

He couldn't lose his composure! Shang Ruoni was watching from the side!

Duan Gujin immediately twisted his ecstasy into a fawning, humble smile.

He stepped forward two paces and bowed respectfully to Shang Ruoni:

"Revered Master, Disciple... Disciple is overwhelmed with fear and joy to see you all, Senior Sisters, for the first time."

"A small token of my sincerity, it really is not much, but I implore the Senior Sisters not to refuse. Please take it as a welcoming gift from your Junior Brother, and share in the joy of your coming out of seclusion."

He flipped his palm, and five white jade bottles appeared.

Once the bottle stoppers were opened, a rich and pure Medicinal Pill fragrance instantly filled the air.

Duan Gujin respectfully took out the five white jade bottles and handed them to the five Senior Sisters.

"Senior Sisters, you have worked hard. A small token of my heart, it is not much, please accept it." He said in a gentle voice.

The five female Disciples took the jade bottles.

[Ding! The System detected that target Li Zhiyi has generated 5 points of submission towards the Host!]

[The Host triggered a hundredfold return, obtaining Nine-Revolution Condensing Golden Pill * 100!]

(Nine-Revolution Condensing Golden Pill: A top-tier auxiliary Spirit Pill suitable for Cultivators in the Golden Core Realm.)

[Ding! The System detected that target Li Jieju has generated 5 points of submission towards the Host!]

[The Host triggered a hundredfold return, obtaining Nine-Revolution Condensing Golden Pill * 100!]

"Hehe! With these Nine-Revolution Condensing Golden Pills, it saves me the trouble of refining them!" Duan Gujin was happy in his heart.

The five people opened the bottle stoppers, and a burst of pure Medicinal Pill fragrance instantly filled the air.

The expressions of all five changed!

This Medicinal Pill far exceeded their knowledge!

Just the fragrance alone caused their Spiritual Qi to surge.

Duan Gujin was secretly happy, appearing even more respectful:

"Senior Sisters are knowledgeable. This Junior Brother dares to ask, would you mind guessing what grade this Medicinal Pill is, and what it is called?"

His gaze swept over the five, lingering a bit longer on the pair of sisters:

"Senior Sisters may take out the Medicinal Pill to examine it closely, and I even permit you to taste a tiny bit of its medicinal power to judge."

"If any Senior Sister guesses correctly first, this Junior Brother is willing to offer ten more of these pills as a prize!"

Once these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall became lively.

Ten such Medicinal Pills? The temptation was too great!

The five carefully took out the Medicinal Pill to observe.

The Medicinal Pill was dark gold, with nine clear pill patterns on the surface, rich in Spiritual Qi, and possessing a majestic life force.

A slightly tired Disciple exclaimed: "Such pure Spiritual Qi! The grade of this Medicinal Pill is not low!"

"These nine pill patterns, so perfect, I have never seen them before!"

Another Disciple said in disbelief: "Just by smelling it, my stagnant Bottleneck seems to have loosened?"

Li Zhiyi had the most impatient and bold personality.

She picked up the Medicinal Pill, scraped off a bit of pill powder, and licked it with the tip of her tongue.

Her face instantly flushed red, and her eyes widened:

"My god! This Spiritual Qi is pure and vast, like a rushing river! And this vitality, these pill patterns, nine revolutions, nine-revolution spirit gathering pill?! That can't be, right?!"

Beside her, Li Jieju frowned slightly when her sister licked the pill powder, feeling it was reckless.

But she herself also focused on examining the Medicinal Pill:

"Nine naturally formed pill patterns, the medicinal power is pure and majestic, containing the vitality of creation. It seems to match the nine-revolution spirit gathering pill recorded in ancient books."

"nine-revolution spirit gathering pill?!"

"Wasn't that long lost? It only exists in classic records!"

"Two Miss Lis, are you sure? This is too unbelievable!"

The other three Disciples were completely shocked, questioning in a hubbub.

Shang Ruoni watched the shocked and excited expressions of her five Disciples, smiling as she nodded, her voice clear as she told them:

"Zhiyi and Jieju are right. This bottle contains the long-extinct ancient miracle pill—the nine-revolution spirit gathering pill!"

Although they already had their guesses, hearing their Revered Master confirm it personally, the three Disciples were still shocked, their gazes becoming fiery as they looked at the jade bottles.

Li Zhiyi was so excited that her little face turned red.

Shang Ruoni continued: "You have already experienced the efficacy of this Medicinal Pill just now."

"Its pure Spiritual Qi and powerful vitality have miraculous effects for you Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators in solidifying your Foundation, breaking through Bottlenecks, and even refining your Spiritual Roots."

She scanned the five, her tone solemn: "Considering your diligence in this seclusion, preparing wholeheartedly for the Sect competition, as your Revered Master, I have decided that from now on, every month, you five may receive ten nine-revolution spirit gathering pills from me to assist in your cultivation."

When these words were spoken, it was like a thunderclap!

"Ten every month?!"

"Revered Master! Is this true?!"

"Thank you for your generous gift, Revered Master! Thank you, Revered Master!"

After a brief silence, the five were completely boiling over!

Even the usually cold Li Jieju had a light of ecstasy erupt in her eyes.

Ten nine-revolution spirit gathering pills every month!

This was simply a massive Opportunity!

It meant their path of cultivation would be completely changed, their Foundation would be more solid, breaking through Bottlenecks would be easier, and their Spiritual Roots might even be improved!

They were even more confident about the Sect competition now!

A huge surprise impacted them, and the five bowed together, their voices trembling: "Disciple thanks Revered Master for your immense grace! Disciple will definitely cultivate diligently and not disappoint Revered Master's high expectations!"
