59: Chapter 59 Three-Flower Gathering Spirit Pill, which aids in cultivation.

Senior Brother Liang Ruoran had mentioned before that the qi gathering pill was the favorite Medicinal Pill of Cultivators at the Lower Stage of Qi Refining, with the highest sales volume at two Spirit Stones each.

He asked Senior Brother Liang Ruoran in a low voice: "Didn't you promise to teach me the refining method for the qi gathering pill?"

Senior Brother Liang Ruoran looked troubled: "Didn't I tell you to wait until the time was right for me?"

It was the same old story; Alchemy involved the Karma of seizing the creation of heaven and earth.

Alchemists dared not speak of it, using spirit talismans as carriers to attach the Medicinal Pill knowledge they possessed onto the spirit talismans.

Even so, it would leave the Alchemist physically and mentally exhausted.

Xia Shaoxin had no choice but to wander around Baotong Tower alone and go straight to the Danfang Pavilion operated by the Sect.

It was a huge room with rows of shelves holding individual envelopes.

There was only one Senior Sister guarding the Danfang Pavilion, who was meditating with her eyes closed on a prayer mat in the corner.

Xia Shaoxin curiously reached out to touch an envelope but was bounced back by a force.

"Are you a new Disciple? Do you not understand the rules?"

The Senior Sister was disturbed, opened her eyes, and looked somewhat displeased.

"Yes, I am a newly promoted Inner Sect Disciple." Xia Shaoxin deliberately emphasized the words "Inner Sect".

But the Senior Sister showed no reaction and asked coldly: "Do you possess the Aptitude to learn a Pill Formula?"

"I do."

"Have you learned any Pill Formula before?"

"Uh, not yet..."

The Senior Sister gave a look of contempt: "If you don't have the talent for the hundred arts of the immortal Sect, just honestly Cultivate your Cultivation Technique and don't waste time. This is not a place for you, get out."

Shop assistants in the mortal world were always gentle and soft-spoken to guests, fearing they wouldn't buy anything.

This Senior Sister, however, seemed to hate people coming to do business.

He thought to himself, can I not even browse?

He immediately ignored her and continued to look at the envelopes.

His eyes suddenly lit up when he scanned a "qi gathering pill refining method" on the shelf.

He hurriedly asked: "How many Spirit Stones is this?"

"Ten Spirit Stones."

He was shocked; he hadn't expected it to be so expensive!

An Inner Sect Disciple at the Lower Stage of Qi Refining was only issued four Spirit Stones a month.

Even with the four that Senior Brother Liang Ruoran gave him, it still wasn't enough.

Senior Brother Liang Ruoran's face appeared in his mind, and he instantly understood that the reason for Senior Brother Liang's inconvenience was actually this.

Even brothers must settle accounts clearly; the gift was too heavy, how could he have the nerve to accept it!

The Five Poisons Spirit Gathering Pill last time was a gift, but after all, that was just a medicine pill, counted in silver, and could not be mentioned in the same breath as a Medicinal Pill.

He had just become an Inner Sect Disciple these past few days and had been physically and mentally exhausted by the Spirit Cave, forgetting to earn Spirit Stones.

No matter, he would go look at medicinal herbs later and go back to get some dead Poisonous Insect.

After walking a few steps, he saw another envelope labeled "three-flower spirit gathering pill".

A thought stirred in his mind; it was another Spirit Pill for gathering spirits. Could its effect be the same as the Five Poisons Spirit Gathering Pill?

"May I ask Senior Sister, what is this three-flower spirit gathering pill used for?"

The Senior Sister was a bit impatient and said coldly: "You won't want it."

Xia Shaoxin couldn't stand it anymore and asked with a smile: "Senior Sister, this is the Sect's business. Whether you sell a lot or a little, you don't get a share of the Spirit Stones, do you?"

The Senior Sister was stunned: "Of course not. Why are you asking this?"

"Otherwise, why are you always chasing customers away?"

The Senior Sister's face turned black instantly: "I have so many Pill Formula here, you know nothing, how could I have the time!"

Xia Shaoxin pointed at the three-flower spirit gathering pill: "I just want to know what this is for!"

The Senior Sister turned her head, stared at the Pill Formula, her heart stirred by memories, and she sighed:

"That Pill Formula has been here for over a hundred years. Senior Brother Liu, who taught this Alchemy, has already passed away, and it still hasn't been sold!"

"Just tell me, maybe I'll want it."

The Senior Sister walked to the shelf and stared at the envelope.

"There are many Pill Formula in the world that have lost their Legacy because they are useless. Senior Brother Liu left this technique behind, charging only five Spirit Stones, hoping someone would learn it. Who knew... sigh!"

Xia Shaoxin was even more curious: "What exactly is its effect?"

"If I tell you, you won't buy it anyway."

Xia Shaoxin was dying of impatience: "Can't you just say it?"

"Taking this pill can briefly change a person's Aptitude, making it easier to absorb Spiritual Qi." The Senior Sister had to explain briefly.

"Isn't this a very good Medicinal Pill?" Xia Shaoxin was overjoyed; it sounded exactly like what he wanted.

"Kid, every Pill Formula left by a Senior is useful, it's just not worth it. Wasting medicinal materials to refine a few pills just to Cultivate better—wouldn't it be better to just eat Advanced Medicinal Pill directly?"

Xia Shaoxin understood; it meant it wasn't cost-effective.

But for him, it was very cost-effective.

"You mean this Pill Formula is five Spirit Stones?"

"Yes, are you buying it?"

Xia Shaoxin took out five Spirit Stones and handed them over.

The Senior Sister was stunned.

"This Pill Formula has been sitting here for over a hundred years."

"I think it's interesting, I'll buy it."

The Senior Sister didn't hesitate any longer and, with lightning speed, snatched the Spirit Stones: "No refunds, this Pill Formula is yours."

With a flick of her finger, the three-flower spirit gathering pill Pill Formula landed in Xia Shaoxin's hand.

Xia Shaoxin tore open the envelope and took out a spirit talisman.

"If you can't learn it, I can buy it back, but I can only give you one Spirit Stone." The Senior Sister looked at him with a smile.

In less than a second, it depreciated by 80%.

Xia Shaoxin smiled slightly and used the common techniques and incantations for learning spirit talismans.

A beam of light shot out from the spirit talisman.

A look of surprise flashed in the Senior Sister's eyes.

A beam of light darted around in Xia Shaoxin's mind, revealing a lot of new knowledge, but behind the light, there seemed to be a huge shadow rolling along with it.

He couldn't bear it, his knees slammed onto the ground, his hands braced against the floor, and he dry-heaved violently.

The Senior Sister looked down at him as he lay there, seemingly pitying him.

After a while, she said: "You can indeed learn Alchemy, but your Aptitude is not high; you are a half-baked Alchemist."

She turned her head to look at the empty spot on the shelf and muttered: "The good news is that Senior Brother Liu's Pill Formula Legacy has been passed on."

She left him lying on the ground and went to the corner to meditate.

Several Disciples passing by from outside saw a person lying on the floor of the Danfang Pavilion and came to watch.

"Yo, another person added to the Dao of Alchemy, congratulations."

"It must be his first time learning a Pill Formula; the reaction is a bit too intense."

"This kid looks like just a low-grade Alchemist."

Xia Shaoxin couldn't move and let them mock him.

The Senior Sister's voice came to his ears: "A Genius of the Dao of Alchemy wouldn't have such a strong backlash when learning a Pill Formula. Your Aptitude is truly poor!"

Xia Shaoxin was speechless.

After a while, he struggled to get up, and the Senior Sister said:

"This is a rare and scarce Pill Formula. According to the rules, you must leave a Legacy. I will give you a spirit talisman and teach you the method of passing on cultivation, to await future fated ones."

With a wave of her hand, Xia Shaoxin flew through the air and landed in front of the Senior Sister.

The Senior Sister whispered in his ear, her breath fragrant like an orchid, teaching him the common method for Alchemists to pass on cultivation.

Xia Shaoxin had never been this close to a girl in his life, and his attention wandered a bit.

The Senior Sister finished teaching and took out a spirit talisman to hand to him.

Xia Shaoxin dared not refuse and extracted the three-flower spirit gathering pill refining method he had just learned from his memory, attaching it to the spirit talisman.

The spirit talisman emitted a brilliant light.

Xia Shaoxin's vision went black, and with a thud, he collapsed to the ground.

"Hmph, fainting while learning a Pill Formula, and fainting while passing it on!" The Senior Sister couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.
