Elixir Cauldron Peak.
“The most crucial thing for us Pill Masters is to learn how to break through our cognitive limitations. Not all elixirs are for enhancing the power of the user. For instance, this Ten Bulls Strength Pill I concocted,” Wu Ming spoke confidently at the Alchemy School, explaining the principles of pill refining in an easy-to- understand manner.
The disciples below were swiftly taking notes. These precious theories of pill refining are hard to come by in the outside world.
Outside world Pill Masters respect inheritance. The saying that if a master teaches his disciple all his knowledge, he might starve. So, learning the principles of refining pills outside world is fraught with challenges.
Elixir Cauldron Peak is different. They could not wait to teach everything they know to the new Junior Brothers and Sisters.
The outside world’s Pill Masters value tradition, maintaining that ancestral methods must not be altered. Therefore, it can be challenging for the outside world to comprehend Elixir Cauldron Peak’s alchemical philosophy.
When Wu Ming saw the Junior Brothers and Sisters listening intently, he felt very satisfied.
The Seek Dao Sect not only recruited Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, Man Gu, Tao Yaoye, Li Haoran, among others. Their extraordinary talents overshadowed the other new disciples, making people subconsciously overlook them.
Apart from these five, there were many other disciples with Dual Spirit Roots or Three Spirit Roots, or possessed unique skills. They were the cores of the future Seek Dao Sect.
Those who are attending the class are disciples who chose to join the Elixir Cauldron Peak.
They had studied at Elixir Cauldron Peak for over a year and were still exploring the path of refining pills.
“Many cultivators have a habit of taking a pill during a battle, which allows them to unleash a burst of strength several times their own. This sudden burst of strength may catch the enemy off guard and secure a victory.”
“Victory is indeed good, but this practice can cause several times the strength to rush through the meridians. The meridians can only handle so much, and reckless pressure can cause significant damage to the meridians. In serious cases, it can harm the foundation and be detrimental to cultivation.”
“Our duty as Pill Masters is healing and saving lives, so we must strive to prevent such situations.”
“Therefore, after painstaking research and visiting a friend who excels at summoning arrays, I finally developed this Ten Bulls Strength Pill.”
“The elixir contains a miniature summoning array. After consumption, it uses the consumer’s body as a medium to summon ten buffalos to assist in combat.” “Senior Brother Wu, where do the ten buffalos get summoned from?” Acute Junior Sister who was attentively listening asked.
Wu Ming smiled and responded, “They are summoned from the Spirit Field.”
The food from the cafeteria and restaurants mostly comes from Seek Dao Sect’s own Spirit Field.
Growing such high-quality crops like rice requires high standards for soil, fertilizer, and farming methods.
The ones working hard on the Spirit Field are the Green-eyed Buffalos. The Green-eyed Buffalos are incredibly strong and have cultivators at various stages, ranging from Qi Refinement to Nascent Soul Stage. There’s even an old Buffalo King at the Spirit Transformation stage, which is terrifying.
With youthful enthusiasm, Third Elder once pushed the buffalos aside and worked the Spirit Field himself for a night. The buffalos mentioned here refers to the Green-eyed Buffalo tribe.
Wu Ming then contacted the Green-eyed Buffalo tribe to see if they could be summoned during a fight. The Green-eyed Buffalos agreed happily.
“As Pill Masters, you must be like me, having imaginative thinking. Stand in the consumers’ shoes, ponder why they need to take the elixir, whether there are any side effects, whether there is a better solution.”
Wu Ming compiled his work on the Ten Bulls Strength Pill into a paper and submitted it to a authoritative publication in the Pill world, “Elixir Fire”. The person in charge of “Elixir Fire” was shocked by Wu Ming’s innovative thinking and subsequently forwarded it to an authoritative publication on the summoning world.
It has been successfully published now.
Wu Ming also understood that his ideas were too progressive and the cultivators needed some time to adjust. He set the price of the Foundation Establishment Stage Ten Bulls Strength Pill very low, requiring only one hundred contribution points.
Keep in mind, even the fried dough stick sold in the cafeteria goes for one hundred and fifty contribution points.
Wu Ming also clearly marked on the exchange list the effect of the pill, “After consumption, it can grant the strength equivalent to ten buffalos”. His consideration is thorough.
Lu Yang was deep in thought.
If you say this elixir is a scam, it can indeed give the power of ten bulls to its users. Everything stated in the introduction and effects is correct, no gimmicks.
But to say this elixir is genuine, something seems odd.
Where exactly is the problem?
He couldn’t figure it out.
The ten Foundation Establishment Stage buffalos were plump and robust, their collective rush towards the tiger demon projected an overwhelming presence.
Facing these bullocks, let alone the tiger demon being at Half Step Golden Core Stage, even if it was at the Golden Core Stage, it would not dare to take a head- on collision with this group of buffalos.
No matter how famed the tiger demon was for its strength, it couldn’t match the physical power of a bull demon.
Yet, there it stood: even with all the inconsistencies of Elixir Cauldron Peak, its efficacy in creating these summoned bulls remained unquestionable, and these ten summoned bullocks could absolutely defeat the tiger demon.
Observing this, Man Gu and Meng Jingzhou unwittingly started to calm down.
The battle was decided — the tiger demon could not alter the outcome.
The tiger demon’s eyes bulged, its fur bristled, seemingly aware that it couldn’t overcome the ten buffalos.
In that case, why not drag someone else down with it?
Just then, a thunderous collapse resounded; the Mountain God Temple collapsed.
The Mountain God Temple, which was already on the verge of falling, toppled when struck by the ten buffalos.
Dust intertwined with heavy rain obstructed their view in an instant.
The tiger demon seized the opportunity, putting all its strength into a mighty leap, evading the attack of the buffalos while hurling itself at Lu Yang with the force of a charging thunderbolt!
This human, had to die!
The buffalos, with their cumbersome bodies and no aptitude for leaping, could not react to this sudden change of events.
Startled, Man Gu and Meng Jingzhou cried out — they had let their guard down and it was too late to save Lu Yang now.
The crowd was thrown into a frantic chaos. Yet, Lu Yang remained composed.
He had anticipated that the tiger demon would fight till its last breath, even if it meant mutual destruction.
A beast driven into a corner was the most dangerous!
Without dodging or blinking, Lu Yang employed the magic skill “Shrinking Inch,” causing himself along with his sword to shrink down in size.
The tiger demon ended up striking air. Lu Yang positioned himself directly under the tiger demon, restored his size, channeled the azure spiritual energy through the blade which culminated at its tip.
“Break!”
Lu Yang invoked the “Breaking Character Technique”. His Green Peak Sword, now sharper than ever, pierced through the thick hide of the tiger demon with a squelching sound, slicing through its abdomen. The gore-streaked blade protruded out of the tiger demon’s back.
This was a sword technique he had learned at Sky Gate Mountain. Among all the sword techniques, this was the strongest. But it used up the bulk of his spiritual essence and was certainly not something to employ lightly.
In the previous exchanges, Lu Yang had discerned the weakness of the tiger demon. Amongst the entire body of the tiger demon, the defensive ability at the center of its abdomen was the weakest.
Lu Yang unleashed his Sword Qi, thread-like azure Sword Qi exploded within the tiger demon’s body, as though countless long needles were piercing through it.
Inside the tiger demon, there was a snap, crackle, and pop, much like the sound of firecrackers. This continued along its spine, shooting straight up into its skull.
The tiger demon bled from every orifice before crashing to the ground.
Exhausted and panting heavily, Lu Yang leaned against the wall, signaling Man Gu and Meng Jingzhou to assist Lan Ting in the demon elimination.
Upon seeing her partner slain, the ferocity of the she-tiger intensified. She was intent on fighting to the death. Nearly unable to withstand the frenzy of the cornered beast, Lan Ting almost lost control.
Before Man Gu and Meng Jingzhou could join the new fight, the buffalo demons turned their attention towards the she-tiger.
Caught off guard, the she-tiger was trampled and mangled by the charging buffalos.
The fight was over.
Lan Ting opened her mouth, recalling the various odd rumors her Senior Sisters had shared about the Seek Dao Sect. Now, the previously skeptical her believed them to be seventy percent true.
