Creation Pill

On the mountaintop, under the setting sun.

Liu Nian knelt before Zhong Qing, and after speaking, he waited anxiously for Zhong Qing's response.

Earlier, he had explicitly refused the other party's goodwill.

Now, he was shamelessly begging for help; would the other party agree?

He was unsure!

At this moment, Zhong Qing slowly spoke, "Are you willing to be my Disciple?"

Liu Nian felt a struggle in his Heart-Nature.

The Nine Clouds Sect had treated him with immense kindness, and even though Zhong Qing had displayed extraordinarily profound methods, deep down, he absolutely did not want to leave the Sect and join another's tutelage.

However, his only son's condition could no longer be delayed!

That glimmer of life could dissipate at any moment.

On one side was the Sect that had shown him immense kindness, and on the other was his only son's chance to live.

Regardless of which, for him, it was a difficult decision to make.

Ling Yueer, who was beside him, saw Uncle Liu's dilemma.

She sighed softly.

"Uncle Liu, your contributions to the Sect over these years have been more than enough!"

"You need not worry about the Sect's side."

"I will explain the situation to the Sect Master for you."

"I believe that even if you leave the Sect and become a Disciple of Senior, the Sect Master will understand your predicament."

"As the saying goes, opportunity knocks but once."

"Now that you have finally found an opportunity to save Uncle Liu's only son, Uncle Liu, you must not miss it."

Ling Yueer and Uncle Liu had spent a considerable amount of time together, so how could she not know how important his only son was to him?

Don't look at Uncle Liu as a Fourth-Turn Pseudo-Immortal expert; for his only son's matter, he had endured countless untold hardships.

The only thing she could do now was to relieve Uncle Liu of his worries.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Liu's eyes instantly turned red!

He heavily knelt and bowed to Ling Yueer in gratitude, "Thank you, Saintess, for your benevolence!"

After thanking Ling Yueer, he bowed to Zhong Qing again, "This Junior is willing to leave the Nine Clouds Sect and become a Disciple of Senior!"

"I only hope Senior will take me in!"

He had a sorrowful expression, which made Zhong Qing confused!

He was merely taking a Disciple; why did it seem like a life-and-death farewell for the other party?

He waved his hand, "I am only taking you as a Named Disciple, not forcing you to leave your original Sect."

"What are you doing?"

Upon hearing this, the sorrowful expression on Liu Nian's face froze.

"Ah?"

His expression was a little dazed.

So, the great determination he had made to leave the Nine Clouds Sect was a misunderstanding on his part.

Mu Changchun, who was beside him, couldn't help but be amused!

Soon, he shook his head!

He thought to himself, "What kind of person is Revered Master? To be taken as his Named Disciple is an unimaginable stroke of luck. Could he be thinking that Revered Master would take him as a Personal Disciple?"

Generally speaking, only those taken as Personal Disciples were not allowed to be involved with other Sects, whereas Named Disciples had no such restrictions.

After realizing this, an awkward flush appeared on Liu Nian's old face.

He wished he could find a crack in the ground and burrow into it right then and there.

But he was, after all, an old fossil who had Cultivated for countless years.

This awkwardness was quickly concealed by him.

His heart was instantly replaced by ecstasy.

He had deep feelings for the Nine Clouds Sect, and if he were to leave it, he would be extremely unwilling.

But if he was only taken as a Named Disciple, then he had no such resistance.

"Disciple Liu Nian, greets Revered Master!"

"Thank you, Revered Master, for not abandoning me and for giving this Disciple another chance."

"For the rest of my life, if Revered Master has any commands, this Disciple will certainly go through fire and water, even unto death."

As he spoke, he kowtowed again.

Zhong Qing waved his hand, "Under my name, there's no need for so many formalities."

Speaking of which, although taking this Disciple had been a bit of a twist.

However, the other party's Heart-Nature was not bad!

Such a person, once taken into the fold, would never be a concern for betraying their Revered Master or destroying their ancestors in the future.

Zhong Qing was quite satisfied with him.

After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Tell me in detail about the symptoms of your only son!"

Seeing Zhong Qing inquire about his son's problem, a look of gratitude flashed in Liu Nian's heart.

This clearly showed that he took his matter to heart.

He suppressed his excitement and quickly said, "Revered Master, my only son was involved in a dispute with someone years ago and was harmed, causing his Divine Soul to be on the verge of dissipating, and even his Dao foundation was severely damaged."

"I wonder if this Sun and Moon Golden Wheel can completely heal my son?"

On the way to Liuguang Sect with Mu Changchun earlier, through their conversation, Liu Nian had also learned the name of the Sun and Moon Golden Wheel.

He had also inquired about the effects of this Immortal Artifact.

However, Mu Changchun's control over the Immortal Artifact was insufficient, so he couldn't give a clear answer.

At this moment, Mu Changchun asked Zhong Qing again, wanting to get a definite answer.

Zhong Qing shook his head and said, "Although the Sun and Moon Golden Wheel has healing abilities, it essentially only replenishes the user's power."

"It can heal Divine Soul injuries, but it has no ability to repair the Dao foundation!"

Although the power of an Immortal Artifact was strong, it was not omnipotent.

Upon hearing this, Mu Changchun felt a little lost.

Didn't this mean that even if the Immortal Artifact could revive his only son, the latter's path of Cultivation would be completely cut off?

However, as long as he could be awakened, he would already be extremely satisfied.

When one is human, the most taboo thing is insatiable greed.

Just then!

Zhong Qing spoke again, "Although the Immortal Artifact cannot heal your son's Dao injury."

"But I have an Elixir of Creation here that can completely remove all of his stubborn ailments!"

As Zhong Qing spoke, he casually pulled out a Medicinal Pill!

The pill was named Elixir of Creation, not refined by him, but from the System.

Over the years, he had never missed a daily check-in with the System.

And this Elixir of Creation was something he had obtained from the System's check-ins in recent years.

This pill was said to be able to grow white bones and had the effect of bringing the dead back to life.

It could heal Divine Soul injuries, and it could also heal Dao foundation injuries.

Although this Medicinal Pill was somewhat extraordinary, Zhong Qing had not suffered any injuries over the years, so it would only gather dust if kept with him.

This time, it just happened to come in handy.

Especially since he had added a little something to this Medicinal Pill!

He enhanced the Medicinal Pill's potency tenfold.

Presumably, this pill would be able to completely save the other party's only son.

It might even bring some unexpectedly good changes to the other party!

After all, this Elixir of Creation was a versatile Medicinal Pill; it cured illness and strengthened the body even without illness.

However, Zhong Qing couldn't say what kind of changes it would bring, as he had never used it before.

Upon hearing Zhong Qing's introduction of the Elixir of Creation's effects, Liu Nian's breathing hitched.

He hadn't expected that immediately after becoming a Disciple, Revered Master would entrust him with such a Divine Pill.
