Chapter 779 - Shock and Regret (2/2)
Zhenlei Duomo sucked in a breath of cold air. What Mo Awu explained shocked her greatly since that kind of medicinal pill was just like the legendary immortal elixir in oriental fables!
She quickly squinted at the indifferent-looking Shui Gui behind her full of regret. Had she known earlier that the Everlasting Feast Hall possessed such great items, she wouldn’t have easily agreed to pass a year of resource allocation to Shui Gui to write off the enmity between them!
Jingmen Island, the headquarters of the Everlasting Feast Hall.
Just as Tang Xiu got out from the car, he could smell a medicinal fragrance in the air. He glanced inside and curiously asked, “Is Ji Chimei currently concocting medicinal pills?”
“Elder Ji has been constantly busy refining medicinal pills in her place, ever since Xiaoxue returned from Mist Source Island and brought back a lot of precious medicinal ingredients. Previously we only had a small number of medicinal pills in our treasure vault, but we now have plenty thanks to her continuous refinement. I’ve inspected those medicinal ingredients. They are of premium quality and several of them are very difficult to obtain even in the Immortal World. In the next few years, our Everlasting Feast Hall should not be lacking in medicinal pills.”
“That would be great.” Tang Xiu nodded with a smile.
Afterward, the duo conversed about a lot of topics, one of which was in regards to Zhenlei Duomo. When Gu Yan’er learned that Zhenlei Duomo had become the second in command of the organized crime syndicate abroad, she cringed and was at a loss whether she should laugh or cry.
“Master, Grand Master.”
Similarly donned in a white dress, Gu Xioxue came to greet Gu Yan’er and Tang Xiu respectfully.
Gu Yan’er looked at her and smilingly asked, “Xiaoxue, how’s Elder Ji’s refinement of that medicinal pill? I asked her to concoct Nine Revolving Souls Pill, has she done with it yet?”
Gu Xiaoxue extended her hand to pass over a jade bottle and said, “It has been concocted, but only just two pills. Elder Ji said that the herbs to refine Nine Revolving Souls Pill are too rare, so she was only able to refine two of them at the most.”
“Being able to refine two of them is enough,” Gu Yan’er smiled with satisfaction and said, “Master, these are Nine Revolving Soul Pills. Please take them quickly! These pills will be very helpful for your present cultivation.”
After receiving the jade bottle, Tang Xiu unplugged the cap and smelled it, nodding as he said, “It’s indeed the Nine Revolving Soul Pill. Countless immortals in the Immortal World would try everything to get this pill, yet, to be honest, I never thought this would have appeared on Earth. However, I have no way to consume this pill for the time being considering my current low cultivation. Also, taking this Nine Revolving Soul pill would not only have no effect on me but is also highly likely to bring some hidden dangers.”
“Hidden danger? But why?” asked Gu Yan’er quizzically.
“If I were to take it, I would at least need to enter seclusion for several years to fully absorb all the efficacy within this Nine Revolving Soul pill. If I didn’t, the enormous potency contained within would blast my body from within,” explained Tang Xiu with a wry smile.
Gu Yan’er stared blankly before she immediately got the gist and said, “Ah, you haven’t condensed your Golden Core yet, Master. It’s because I want to see you become stronger, so that was why I…”
“No. In any case, my current path of cultivation is different from ordinary cultivators,” interrupted Tang Xiu. “Precisely speaking, the path I’m taking is Demon’s cultivation.”
“Demon’s cultivation technique? But Master, I cannot sense any Demonic Qi on you?” asked Gu Yan’er, looking puzzled.
“Do you still remember the Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis?” asked Tang Xiu back lightly.
“That art makes you…” Gu Yan’er’s eyes widened as she said, “You are now shifting to another cultivation technique? But I recall some rumors… that immortals can never cultivate this Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis, no?”
Tang Xiu nodded and said, “Practicing this Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis requires extremely harsh conditions, and it was kind of accidental that I just happened to be suitable to cultivate it. Had it been the former me, I wouldn’t have been able to practice this cultivation technique.”
The explanation made Gu Yan’er instantly understand and she replied with a smile, “Since you would change your cultivation technique, I believe it must be much better compared to the previous one Master. Yan’er really can’t wait to see you return to supremacy in the Immortal World once again.”
Tang Xiu just smiled in response but no longer talked about the topic again.
Both Tang Xiu or Gu Yan’er didn’t plan to tell Zhenlei Duomo about the existence of the exquisite pagoda for the time being and arranged her accommodation elsewhere. The both of them then came to the pagoda.
There the master and disciple spent their days together, reveling in a relaxing and joyful time.
However, when Tang Xiu suddenly received a reminder note, he remembered that he had promised to send Li Juren some medicinal pills. He didn’t even have the pills refined yet.
Immediately after receiving the letter, Tang Xiu went to Ji Chimei’s place and began to get busy concocting the pills. After refining the Life Essence Pill, he didn’t rush to see Li Juren but instead sent someone to deliver them. Then just when Tang Xiu received a huge amount of money and was in a good mood, he received a phone call:
“Let’s meet tomorrow evening at Jingmen Island.”
