57: Set off

It was two months later when Qin Yue finally refined the Little Zhoutian Wuzhen Pill!

The Little Zhoutian Wuzhen Pill that Qin Yue refined was entirely green, with a faint halo shimmering on its surface.

Refining such a beautiful Medicinal Pill made Qin Yue very excited. He had asked his Master how to handle the refined Medicinal Pill and what its effects were.

His Master told him that everyone consumed the Medicinal Pill they refined themselves.

However, the medicinal effects varied because the Materials chosen for refining by each person were different.

But based on his Master's many years of experience, he assured Qin Yue that everyone's Little Zhoutian Wuzhen Pill would not have any negative effects.

At his Master's urging, Qin Yue steeled his heart and swallowed the newly refined Little Zhoutian Wuzhen Pill.

The Medicinal Pill was immediately absorbed by his body after he swallowed it.

Qin Yue only felt a slight coolness in his mind, and then nothing else.

He circulated his Blood Qi through his body once, but there was no change.

Qin Yue opened his eyes, looked at his Master who was watching him with anticipation, and spread his hands, "This Medicinal Pill has no effect. I only felt a coolness in my mind, and then no other reaction."

"That can't be. Although this Medicinal Pill isn't of great use, it usually has some minor benefits.

For example, my own refined Medicinal Pill slows down the aging process of my appearance. Look at Teacher Yan; he's several years younger than me, yet he looks so much older!"

"Ah?

Master's refined Medicinal Pill must be a low-grade version of a beauty-preserving pill, right? And he says it's not useful?"

He had always thought that his Master looked younger than Teacher Yan because of his Breakthrough to the Divine Intent Realm; it turned out to be the power of a Medicinal Pill!

It's a pity that this Little Zhoutian Wuzhen Pill cannot be studied by others or consumed by others. If it could, his Master would definitely make a fortune.

Thinking of this, Qin Yue leaned closer to his Master, "Master, can you teach me the Pill Formula for the Little Zhoutian Wuzhen Pill you refined?"

Hearing Qin Yue's request and looking at Qin Yue's youthful face, his Master narrowed his eyes,

"Are you so young and already afraid of getting old?"

"No, Master, I don't intend to consume it myself. I want to study it and see if I can comprehend a new Pill Formula from it, one that also achieves the beauty-preserving effect of your Pill Formula.

Master doesn't need to worry about the Wuzhen Pill Pill Formula being leaked. Once I've improved it, I'll show it to Master first, and only with Master's approval will I sell the Medicinal Pill."

"Alright then, remember, you must show me the improved Pill Formula."

After saying that, his Master orally dictated his Wuzhen Pill Pill Formula to Qin Yue.

After two months of continuous study, Qin Yue was already very familiar with the Little Zhoutian Wuzhen Pill. Qin Yue could instantly analyze his Master's considerations for choosing each medicinal material his Master recited.

Thus, one recited, one memorized, and the seventy-two Materials were quickly enumerated. As soon as his Master finished speaking, Qin Yue had also committed the Pill Formula to memory.

Qin Yue found that merely hearing his Master's selection of Materials gave him a deeper understanding of the Little Zhoutian Wuzhen Pill.

His Master's Pill Formula, every choice of Material, was filled with decades of experience and consideration in Medicine Refining.

After the daytime Medicine Refining class ended, Qin Yue returned to his courtyard and continued to Cultivate various Martial Dao skills.

As Qin Yue systematically completed all his Cultivation assignments,

he found that both Shadow Step and Yin Yang Dual Revolving Refining Energy Art had reached the Mastered Realm.

This also meant that he could now go to the Demon Realm for Condensing Evil!

For these two months, Qin Yue had not undertaken a single demon-slaying mission, dedicating himself almost entirely to the study of Medicine Refining.

A peaceful life indeed wears down one's will. Qin Yue had originally been very much looking forward to completing the Cultivation of Shadow Step and Yin Yang Dual Revolving Refining Energy Art.

But now that the skills were complete, he hesitated, wondering if he should Cultivate his skills to a deeper level before departing, or if he should learn more Medicine Refining knowledge before Cultivating, especially since his Master had invested so much effort in him.

However, in an instant, Qin Yue cut off those thoughts in his mind.

In this world teeming with demons, personal martial prowess was the greatest guarantee of survival. Letting those procrastinating thoughts roll out of his mind, Qin Yue decided: he would bid farewell to his Master tomorrow and depart for the Demon Realm.

The night passed without incident...

The next day, when Qin Yue bid farewell to his Master, his Master was very surprised. After testing Qin Yue's Cultivation Technique, he confirmed that Qin Yue had indeed reached the Mastered Realm.

Then his Master became somewhat silent.

He hadn't expected that even though he had occupied Qin Yue's daytime hours, he still Cultivated so quickly.

Such a Martial Dao Genius, he hoped he could solve the Cultivation method after the Divine Intent Realm in the future!

Yan Zhongyi, of course, would not hinder Qin Yue; Condensing Evil was a necessary path for every Liquid Transformation Realm Martial Artist.

He told Qin Yue to wait in the Alchemy Room and returned with a box and a sword.

"I noticed that you still use the tempered steel sword issued by the Martial Academy when practicing swordsmanship.

A tempered steel sword is only good for practice; when dealing with demons, it's better to use a finer sword!

Master sees that you have a black saber; this black sword is Master's collection, and it perfectly matches the black saber.

From now on, it is yours!"

After speaking, his Master handed the sword to Qin Yue, then opened the box and took out a Secret Manual, "This Secret Manual is the third revolution of the Nine Revolutions Body Refining Art. Apart from the Body Refining section using Evil Qi, its content is no different from the second revolution. You can learn it on your way."

He then put the Secret Manual back into the box and handed the entire box to Qin Yue,

"The rest of what's in this box are various Medicinal Pills, including yinqi pills, antidote pills, and healing Medicinal Pills. The bottles all have labels.

Keep these Medicinal Pills safe. Demons are cunning, and injuries are inevitable. Using these Medicinal Pills well can save your life."

Qin Yue was somewhat moved and could only cup his fists and say, "Thank you, Master!"

"Before you leave, go find your Senior Brother Jiang Shang. He has a map of the Demon Realm, and although you're going to the Demon Realm for Condensing Evil, you can also take on a mission to explore the Demon Realm.

There's nothing else to instruct. Once you're ready, just depart directly; you don't need to come see me again.

As your Master, there's nothing more I can do to help you, except to wish my disciple a safe return!"

Qin Yue cupped his fists in salute again, took the items given by his Master, left the Alchemy Room, and went to find Senior Brother Jiang Shang.

When Qin Yue told Senior Brother Jiang Shang that he was going to the Demon Realm for Condensing Evil, his Senior Brother's expression did not change at all.

Perhaps as the semi-manager of Chaoyang Cave, he had seen many Junior Brothers and Senior Brothers come to him to bid farewell!

When Qin Yue left Senior Brother Jiang Shang, he had obtained a map of the Demon Realm, a set of Condensing Evil precautions previously written by his Senior Brother, taken on a Demon Realm exploration mission, and with his packed luggage and the gifts from his Master, he departed directly, leaving Pill Refining Peak.
