1022 The Risk Percentage (1/2)

Yun Yang rubbed his nose. ”It's an emergency now, it can't be helped…”

”Those ideal sects prepare themselves in advance and depart early… You…”

Dong Qitian did not know what to say for a moment and continued his ineffective laments, ”Do you view the Celestial Luck Banner contest like a stroll to the market? All is well as long as you arrive there on the same day? That the flag match is fighting when you're there and coming back when it's done? Is it so easy and casual to you?”

Yun Yang chuckled dryly. ”Events depend largely on our own actions. We've already come to this stage, we must give it a try…”

”Sigh…” Dong Qitian let out a long sigh, exhaling his endless lament.

Never mind; he would just assume that he had met a lunatic…

”In the course of increasing the disciples' cultivation base, it would be best for them to consume the Emerald Cloud Pill. It won't be on time if we delay it. Elder Dong, can you start off the advanced Emerald Cloud Pill you've mentioned previously?”

”It's not an issue for me to cultivate the Emerald Cloud Pill, but… have you prepared the herbs needed?” Dong Qitian asked with a curious glance.

”I've brought them here.”

”Also, the bone tempering pills, meridian expanding pills, marrow cleansing pills, and pure energy pills… The skyrocket effect will only be achieved when all spiritual herbs are ready and used alongside the Emerald Cloud Pill. Have you actually prepared all of them?”

”Yes. I've spent the most time on this recently.”

Yun Yang retrieved the resources with a grin while Dong Qitian rolled his eyes.

'This bastard – he's prepared everything?'

'Why are you so fast?'

Dong Qitian had wanted to make things difficult for Yun Yang with the heaven and earth treasures, but looking at the mounds of treasured herbs neatly placed in front of him, he found himself momentarily taken aback.

He had not expected this.

These abundant heaven and earth treasures; where did this fellow get them from, and so easily at that?

Dong Qitian sighed and his expression turned unusually serious.

”There's one thing I must tell you beforehand. While the Emerald Cloud Pill, as our sect's secret that's not to be passed on, can allow the person taking it a meteoric rise and an escalation in cultivation base when consumed with other complementing medicinal pills – once successful, your disciples will advance a full level, the risk involved is similarly high! Its chances of success stand at only twenty percent.”

”Furthermore, the twenty percent we're talking about requires the prerequisite of the sect's disciples being total prodigies. More precisely, upgrading seventy-five disciples at one go is a huge taboo… At least fifty of them will either die on the spot or become good-for-nothings with utterly wrecked meridians…”

”This is already the most reserved, most minimal, and the best-case scenario!”

”Have you considered it thoroughly? Are you really going to do so?” Dong Qitian asked seriously.

Yun Yang replied faintly, ”If one wishes to walk the destiny-defying path, one must pay a heaven-defying price! I am prepared for a low percentage of success.”

”There's one person whom you don't have to worry about. He'll advance with one hundred percent certainty and there will be no risk. It's Hu Xiaofan. Possessing the Innate Spiritual Marrow and constantly eliminating the impurities in his body, no amount of spiritual herb consumed will be a problem to him. Other than him, though, everyone else is in danger. Think about it. I personally do not condone your eagerness.”

Dong Qitian felt weary.

Yun Yang…

In the beginning, Dong Qitian had indeed suggested the Emerald Cloud Pill to Yun Yang. Back then, he was thinking to himself, ”All you have here are trash… It will be fine to weed out some of them. It's enough for two or three out of a hundred of them level up.”

In spite of this, as he came in contact with the children during this duration, Dong Qitian grew to like these children who suffered pitiful histories but possessed resilient characters. He was reluctant for them to bear the risk. Hence, he thought of delaying the approach with the heaven and earth treasures only for Yun Yang to actually gather all that he needed…

Yun Yang answered decisively, ”We have been long prepared! There's no need to consider any further! It's either make it or break it! Compared to going about things slowly, we don't have time and I also believe that man can overcome his destiny!”

Dong Qitian stared at Yun Yang for a long time before his gaze slowly turned distant. He gradually shut his eyes and said, ”Okay, be on your way. I need half a month to cultivate these medicinal pills.”

Yun Yang left then.
