Chapter 93
“Qi and blood pill?” Song Shuhang’s eyes grew wide. What a surprise! He didn’t expect he’d get qi and blood pill so early. Before accepting the task of ‘hosting True Monarch White’, Song Shuhang even thought it would be impossible for him to get qi and blood pill at this stage.
“Good luck.” Medicine Master said.
By the way, not long ago, Northern River’s Loose Cultivator was trying to tempt Song Shuhang to take the task of ‘hosting True Monarch White’ with qi and blood pill and cultivation techniques. However, in the blink of an eye, Song Shuhang had already got qi and blood pills by himself. Although there were not many of them…
It was said that good things happened to good people… was it that after being a good man for all these years, Song Shuhang finally got rewarded?
However, if one came to think of it, it was also reasonable.
The killed Altar Master was a cultivator of Second Stage realm.
He no longer needed body tempering liquid, and just used it to reward his underlings.
As for qi and blood pill, although it was mostly used by cultivators of first stage realm, it could also restore the true qi of cultivators of second stage realm to some extent. Altar Master, who seemed poorer than other cultivators, could not get the more precious ‘qi accumulation pill’, so he just made do with ‘qi and blood pill’.
And as cautious as he was, Altar Master always took things precious to him with him.
As a result, all of them fell into the hands of Song Shuhang.
“A single qi and blood pill can restore all my qi and blood. With the two bottles of qi and blood pill, can I last for a long time? “Song Shuhang asked.
Medicine Master nodded, “If you don’t practice day and night, you can use it for a while. The quality of this batch of qi and blood pills is not bad, so one pill can be used several times.”
“So, I’ll not run short of qi and blood pills in a short time?!” Song Shuhang’s eyes grew wide again. “Senior Medicine Master, what if I tell Senior Northern River’s Loose Cultivator that I take back my words on ‘hosting True Monarch White’ now?”
“Hoho.” Medicine Master made no answer, but gave an amiable yet strange laugh.
As the saying went, ‘Better a fellow daoist die than I die’.
Yes, it was quite right!
❄️❄️❄️
“Okay, I’m joking.” Song Shuhang shrugged his shoulders—two bottles of qi and blood pills were too few with just twenty-six pills in total. Maybe he would use up the two bottles before True Monarch White finished his seclusion. With these qi and blood pills, he was only able to experience the effect of qi and blood pill in advance at best.
Finally, he took out the A5-paper-sized metal box.
As it was put together with body tempering liquid and the precious qi and blood pills, at least it wouldn’t be too bad, right?
As he grabbed the box, Shuhang felt it quite heavy, as if he was holding a heavy iron plate.
“What is it?” Shuhang curiously opened the metal box.
There were two pieces of burnt wood in it; ten gold, green, red, blue, and brown crystals; a folded piece of cloth; two bottles of weird liquid… and so on and so forth. Everything but cloth was doubled.
“Are these Altar Master’s collection? I didn’t expect that his hobby was quite broad. Why did he collect all these strange things?” Song Shuhang checked the box, but didn’t find anything special.
“Wood struck by lightning, Five Element Stones, magical robe inscribed with formation, ghost dragon’s saliva… these are not strange things, but very precious things in the eyes of cultivators.” Medicine Master explained with a smile.
“Treasure, can I trade them for qi and blood pill?” Song Shuhang exulted at what he’d just heard.
Qi and blood pill couldn’t only be used to speed up Foundation Establishment, but could also restore the qi and blood in the apertures of cultivators of First Stage realm. It could also improve the cultivation speed of cultivators of First Stage realm. It was something that low-rank cultivators couldn’t get enough of. It was safe to store as many as possible!
“Well, if you are talking about the qi and blood pills in your hand, these treasures can be traded for a lot of them. However, if you trade these treasures for qi and blood pill, you will regret it.” Medicine Master chuckled.
“Why?” Shuhang asked.
“Altar Master didn’t just collect these treasures at random. Wood struck by lightning, Five Element Stones, and ghost dragon’s saliva—these three things are basic materials for setting up a formation. That formation is called “Five Elements’ Spirit Contracting Altar”, also known as ghost spirit contracting formation, “Medicine Master said coolly. “Now, do you still want to trade these things for qi and blood pills?”
Song Shuhang’s head was shaking like a rattle-drum.
Wood struck by lightning, Five Element Stones, and ghost dragon’s saliva… and all other bits and pieces. He had never seen any of them before, except for wood struck by lightning. If he traded these things for ‘qi and blood pills’, God knew whether he could collect all these things again or not.
Regarding contracting a ghost spirit, as long as he finished Hundred Days Foundation Establishment, he could attempt it. By then, even if he had gone far beyond the best age of ‘Foundation Establishment’, there would be some hope for him to catch up with the elite disciples of the sects with the help of ghost spirit.
The ghost spirit was likely to become his trump card.
“Your luck is really good; the killed Altar Master planned to get the ghost spirits and contract with them, so he had prepared two portions of materials for setting ‘Five Elements’ Spirit Contracting Altar’. It turns out he did all these for you.” Medicine Master said.
Yes, Altar Master had acquired a ghost spirit many years ago. There had to be some materials for contracting ghost spirit among his treasures.
“Altar Master prepared two portions of materials because there were two ghost spirits in Ghost Lamp Temple. Altar Master planned to contract with both of them, but eventually, one fell into the hands of Soft Feather, and I got the other.” Song Shuhang laughed.
And then, he carefully placed all the small bottles and the ‘Five Elements’ Spirit Contracting Altar’ materials back into the black suitcase. Thinking for a while, he took the bottle containing less ‘qi and blood pills’ out and hid it into his pocket.
The 800,000 or so RMB in cash was also thrown back into the suitcase. He just stuffed the bundle of bills that was unbundled just now into his pockets as well.
“Senior, may I leave the suitcase here temporarily?” Song Shuhang asked. It was not convenient to take it back. If Zhao Yaya insisted on checking his suitcase only to see a whole suitcase of red bills after opening it, then how would he explain the source of this money?
Not to mention there were so many pills in it.
After deliberation, it was the safest to leave it here.
“No problem. Just leave it here.” Medicine Master agreed, “Do you have time? Help me try out the new formula of body tempering liquid that was improved yesterday. Besides, I have to teach you how to use a cultivator’s ‘pill furnace’. Your two-piece kit of a hot pot and an induction cooker makes my liver ache.”
“How about this evening? Now… I’m gonna visit my sister first.” Song Shuhang smiled bitterly as if he was gonna die a martyr’s death.
Medicine Master laughed. “Sister? Ah, you mean the funny girl who was worried that you might get some unmentionable disease as you just mentioned in the group? Hahahaha, go ahead. Come to help me try out the formula after you’re finished dealing with her. I’m not in a hurry.”
“Ok, Senior, see ya!” Song Shuhang waved and left Medicine Master’s house.
❄️❄️❄️
On the way back to Jiangnan College, Song Shuhang frowned. “Did I forget something? I remember I had something to ask Medicine Master about.”
He kept thinking and thinking for quite a while.
Ah! Yes, it’s about the shining Western monk in the subway.
I wonder what will happen to the Western monk after he was taken by the police.
Song Shuhang planned to talk about the Western monk with Medicine Master, and listen to his opinion.
However, after winning qi and blood pills and the materials for setting ‘Five Elements’ Spirit Contracting Altar’ in succession, he had been so excited that he had forgotten to talk about the Western monk with Senior Medicine Master.
Well, never mind… I’ll ask Senior Medicine Master about the guy next time. Song Shuhang thought.
