Chapter 103 (2/2)
“Why?”
“Too much power and too much money Attracted jealousy”
Li Chengfeng fell deep in thought “Yet no one continued concocting pills after them?”
Qin Mieqin halted, then turned to him He took out one red pill and one black pill, one in each outstretched palm “There are two pills here Which one will you choose?”
The bright red pill looked dangerous to Li Chngfeng, and it was very fragrant too The black pill shtly bitter He was stunned for a moment, then blurted, “Black…”
Qin Mieqin snickered “You're dead! The black pill is a Soul-killing pill You'll die if you consume it”
Li Chengfeng paused and looked at the red pill Qin Mieqin continued, “This is called a Muscle-growth pill It is a useful supplerinned “But… are you really going to believepill? Then what?”
Chengfeng thought this was a terrifying puzzle indeed Who could guarantee that they weren't both poisons? Even if the source was trustworthy, how can you be sure they did not mix any poisons inside? Without sufficient trust, no one would dare consuain immortality! Because no one could truly be sure Even if it contained 99 good herbs but 1 poison, it was enough to be fatal
Qin Mieqin kept the two pills and looked at hih they can see beyond the mundane world, they still cannot read… the human heart! If you do not consu? And would you really hire someone else to test such a valuable pill for you? What if the poison has a dor spells? Hmmph, with so much distrust, which sect can really take over this business?”
Chengfeng looked at this cold Senior Brother Qin, who coincidentally had an unfortunate na to explain this concept so patiently to hi would not have thought of it at all
If he was not vigilant against pills given by other people, would he really die?
Li Chengfeg was grateful “You're right, senior Brother Qin! Getting your own herbs really is the best way to go Even using the wrong herb would not be as bad However, if we consu source, the consequences would be disastrous”
“That is why every sect concocts their own pills and every cultivator must learn this skill They need to learn how to concoct pills, ical items, make seals, draw arrays… unless you have a partner that you can trust with your life, youyourself”
Li Cehgnfeng was sh to understand that all these skills had the same concept If other people bore ill intentions, they couldcritical h to kill
All these things must be done by the cultivator themselves No one would place their lives in another person's hands like that!
Li Chengfeng smiled bitterly “So that's why that person needs a partner-servant, right?”
Su Yuehan raged, “I'!”
“Then you go cultivate, and I'll farm!”
She giggled “Alright, you farm and I'll protect you in the future!”
He pinched her cheek and gritted his teeth “You ungrateful thing, you're going to give ht?”
She yelled and turned to break free However, he pinched harder Angered, she reached out to pinch his face too
“How dare you! Hmmph!” He used his palm to push her head away so she flailed her arms and could not reach him
He laughed, delighted with himself but she stopped and looked at him tearfully “I don't want to farm, I don't want to farm!”
Wow, there really was no getting out of this one
Frustrated, he said, “Fine, fine, fine I'll hire soht?”
She wiped her tears “You promised! No takebacks!”
He glared “One e my mind!”
She grinned and grabbed his shoulder with a chuckle “You're the best!”
Qin Mieqin eyed them both suspiciously, then said coldly, “One servant per person Anyone who breaks this rule will be kicked out!”
