78: Refining inferior body-building pills is so simple

Tang Tian was still a bit touched; after all, a pseudo-low-grade Cultivation Technique could lead to the demise of a not-so-strong Foundation Establishment Family…

Tang Tian said,

“The Revered Master’s grace, I will repay with my life. This Disciple will definitely reach Qi Training Ninth Level in one year.”

Tang Tian spoke with conviction, though deep down he wasn't sure if he could achieve it.

Tang Tian sighed in his heart,

“I can only give my all. Fortunately, I have the Medicine Venerable Space, otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to advance three Realms in a year.”

The Great Confucian said,

“I know you have your Opportunity, but I don’t want to interfere. Since you are my Disciple, any improvement in Cultivation will have traces, so there’s no need to worry about being spied on.

“You can use my name outside, Mr. Zhu He will do. Also, your Literary Qi progress can temporarily stop once you Revered Master the Sound and Rhythm Primer.”

Tang Tian asked,

“What Realm does the Sound and Rhythm Primer need to reach?”

The Great Confucian said,

“It will suffice when you can release the cloud and rain Qi of the entire Sound and Rhythm Primer as soon as you pick up your brush.”

Tang Tian nodded. This was indeed a bit difficult. He couldn't even release the entire Three Character Classic at the moment, let alone the entire Sound and Rhythm Primer.

The Great Confucian said,

“Your four Senior Brothers will be participating in the Literary Examination in six months. Remember to come and see them off then…”

Tang Tian said,

“This Disciple understands.”

Tang Tian left, feeling a mix of joy and worry, saying,

“Alas, having the Life Extinguishing Spirit Gathering Sword Cultivation Technique is a good thing, but if I can’t get into the top three in the Martial Examination, whether I can even live will be a problem.”

Tang Tian’s mind was clear. If he couldn't win a place in the Martial Examination and prove his worth,

then the Great Confucian, to prevent the secret of him being able to Cultivate by feeding back the Luck of five Disciples from leaking…

would definitely kill Tang Tian quickly, and even probe Tang Tian’s secrets.

Just like with the Shopkeeper Yunshui Pavilion, if Tang Tian couldn't win a place at the Wanbao Pavilion convention, Tang Tian would surely die.

However, one was at the Qi Training Ninth Level Cultivation, and the other was at the Foundation Establishment Cultivation.

Tang Tian sighed,

“This time, I’m truly Cultivating to survive.”

He found an inn to stay in. He also had to refine Body Tempering Pills for his four Senior Brothers.

After confirming the safety of the surroundings, Tang Tian entered the Medicine Venerable Space…

Tang Tian said,

“There are nine hundred pills in total, so nine forging body spiritual medicines should be enough. Dividing one into one hundred portions shouldn’t be difficult, right?”

After dividing them, each portion was about the size of a pinky finger, and even slightly larger than the Profound Rank First Grade Spirit Medicine the size of a fingernail that he bought from the Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper.

Tang Tian: …

Tang Tian said,

“These unscrupulous merchants, Big Yellow, get to work.”

Tang Tian called Big Yellow over, because before, he refined an entire Spiritual Plant, but now it was a hundred portions of pinky-sized Spirit Medicine, like playing a game.

Tang Tian said,

“It’s a bit too easy…”

Before long, one by one, bead-sized Body Tempering Pills were refined. They were pure white and emitted a Medicinal Pill fragrance.

Tang Tian sighed,

“My Alchemy technique should be at the sixth-grade level now, right?”

Soon, nine hundred Body Tempering Pills were placed on the ground.

Some of the Big Geese smelled this scent and wanted to eat them.

Tang Tian said,

“You can eat this too. Oh, the Medicinal Pill power has been weakened.”

Tang Tian suddenly realized and said,

“You don’t have to fight, I’ll refine more for you!”

Tang Tian had the Big Geese take twenty forging body spiritual medicines and divided them into two thousand pinky-sized Spirit Medicine portions.

He still had to be good to his beast companions…

After the two thousand pills were refined, apart from Big Yellow, Wuqi, and Goose King who didn’t care for these Body Tempering Pills in the Medicine Venerable Space,

the other twenty-two beast companions were exceptionally delighted. Tang Tian divided the two thousand pills equally, which was enough for them to Cultivate for a period.

Tang Tian said,

“Don’t rush, find Big Yellow to refine more when you’re done eating.”

Big Yellow: …

After refining two thousand nine hundred pills, it was almost dawn. Tang Tian exited the Medicine Venerable Space…

Tang Tian said,

“I never thought refining inferior pills would be so simple. From now on, I’ll never buy Spiritual Plants again!”

While it was still early, Tang Tian began to Cultivate the Three Character Classic in the inn.

Tang Tian slowly exhaled a turbid Qi, saying,

“Cultivating Literary Qi is indeed a gradual process. I estimate that after practicing a few more calligraphy books, and my Literary Qi improves, I’ll be able to fully Revered Master the Three Character Classic.”

He put away the rabbit hair brush, and the Qi of supreme goodness and encouragement before him was swept away by Tang Tian’s Literary Qi.

Arriving at the academy, the sound of reading was already echoing, and above the academy, the Qi of clouds, rain, and thunder flickered indistinctly.

Tang Tian respectfully bowed to the Great Confucian, then said to his four Senior Brothers,

“Senior Brothers, the Body Tempering Pills have been refined.”

As Tang Tian spoke, he took out nine hundred Body Tempering Pills from his storage ring…

Lu Mei said in surprise,

“Junior Brother is indeed reliable! Let me try the effect.”

Lu Mei put down his calligraphy book and used Literary Qi to lift two hundred Medicinal Pills.

He ate one in a single mouthful.

Feeling the vigorous Body Refining Medicinal Pill power, he immediately sat down to Cultivate the Earthly Fiend Fist, only successfully refining it a few seconds later.

Lu Mei said,

“Junior Brother, this Body Tempering Pill’s Medicinal Pill power is a bit strong. It truly is a premium product.”

Lu Mei gave Tang Tian one thousand five hundred Spirit Stones.

Ye Fan said with some emotion,

“Thank you, Senior Brother Lu.”

Lu Mei said,

“Junior Brother Ye, you’re welcome.”

The remaining Ning Bi and Ding Mo also quickly took them, saying,

“Let us try too.”

Ning Bi and Ding Mo swallowed the Body Tempering Pills and took half a minute to refine them, exclaiming,

“The effect is truly too good! I feel like after eating ten Medicinal Pills, I can solidify another strand of Evil Qi.”

Saying that, they quickly handed Tang Tian one thousand Spirit Stones each.

Tang Tian said,

“As long as Senior Brothers like them.”

If they knew that Tang Tian could solidify three to five strands of Evil Qi by consuming one Spirit Medicine, they would surely be astonished.

The Great Confucian said,

“These Body Tempering Pills are pure, you can indeed eat more of them.”

The Great Confucian used Literary Qi to take a Body Tempering Pill from Lu Mei, examined it for a moment, then said…

Lu Mei said gratefully,

“Thank you, Revered Master, for clarifying.”

Tang Tian was also eager to expand the sales points for the Body Tempering Pill now.

However, since there were Foundation Establishment cultivators in the surrounding counties, he could only sell them in Jinque City.

Lu Mei said,

“Junior Brother, Revered Master said you’re participating in the Martial Examination. You must work hard!

“My Family has a Spiritual Qi treasure land. If Junior Brother has leisure, you can go there with my token.”

After speaking, Lu Mei handed his token to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian said gratefully,

“Senior Brother Lu Mei, rest assured, I will definitely visit when I have time.”

Ning Bi and Ding Mo said enviously,

“Junior Brother still has one year to reach Qi Training Ninth Level, while we only have six months to reach Qi Training Ninth Level.”

Tang Tian was stunned, saying,

“Three months to Qi Training Ninth Level?!”

Ning Bi and Ding Mo nodded helplessly, saying,

“Junior Brother, it sounds incredible, but Revered Master’s refining method is a method of accumulating and then bursting forth. It’s entirely possible to reach Qi Training Ninth Level in three months.

“It’s a pity Junior Brother chose the Life Extinguishing Spirit Gathering Sword. You must come and watch us Senior Brothers participate in the Literary Examination then.”

Tang Tian cupped his fists, saying,

“Definitely…”
