Ch 25: The Divine Power Pill
“Disciple does not dare.”
Tang Jue was startled, and quickly said: “Disciple only said that, if Your Majesty truly wants to strike against our Tang Sect, our Tang Sect cannot simply allow ourselves to be slaughtered!”
“That is the lives of tens of thousands of disciples of our Tang Sect!”
“Rest assured.”
Tang Shiyuan shook his head: “Our Majesty will not easily strike against our Tang Sect.”
“Then, Old Ancestor, what about the Thousand Life Ghost Lotus?” Tang Jue said: “Should I send someone to White Cloud City to search for it now? Finding the person, and bringing back the Thousand Life Ghost Lotus. After all, it is our Tang Sect’s ancestral treasure.”
“Go now?”
Tang Shiyuan coldly snorted: “Are you not worried about delivering a handle to the Divine Palace Imperial Capital?”
Hearing this, Tang Jue thought about it carefully, and it was true. Zhao Qianqiu had just died, and at this time, if the Thousand Life Ghost Lotus were to be retrieved to the Tang Sect, if it were said that the Tang Sect had nothing to do with the person who knew the Great Celestial Phenomenon Art, I’m afraid no one would believe it this time.
The Thousand Life Ghost Lotus could only remain in the hands of that mysterious person for now.
Grand Profound Sacred Land.
After Grand Profound Sacred Lord returned that night, he continued his secluded cultivation to recover from his injuries. He did not tell anyone about this matter.
Grand Profound Sacred Lord did not know about Li Hanzhou’s identity.
He was too lazy to provoke such a strong enemy of unknown origin.
And at present, the other party did not seem to have any hostility towards the Grand Profound Sacred Land. He should be a reclusive strong person. Dongyan Province has not heard of this person.
“Holy Lord.”
At this time, a voice came from outside, the voice of the Grand Elder of the Grand Profound Sacred Land.
“What is it?”
Grand Profound Sacred Lord asked.
“Reporting to the Holy Lord, Yue Shan Sect, Zhao Family, and Overlord Saber Sect previously submitted challenge scrolls, wanting to jointly spar with Longevity Temple. This time, they hope that our Grand Profound Sacred Land can send someone to act as an arbitrator, so they want to invite the Holy Lord to come out of seclusion.” The Great Elder said from outside.
“It’s just a sparring match between disciples. Just send anyone for such a small matter. Does this matter require me to go personally?” Grand Profound Sacred Lord felt a little inexplicable.
“Holy Lord, I think it’s better for the Holy Lord to go in person. During the last Disciple Assessment, our Grand Profound Sacred Land’s intentions were seen clearly by them. In addition, their losses in the last assessment were…quite significant, Holy Lord. Going in person can make them feel that our Grand Profound Sacred Land is sincere.”
“And there’s another very important point, the Prajna Axe is in Longevity Temple. If the Holy Lord arrives personally, Longevity Temple will understand what is going on and will secretly return the Prajna Axe to us.”
“That Prajna Axe was snatched back by Holy Lord from Divine Ox Mountain at the risk of your life, for Lu Tianxing. It cannot be allowed for Longevity Temple disciples to inexplicably take it away.”
Grand Profound Sacred Lord listened and thought it made sense.
If that’s the case, then he would go.
“Where is that Longevity Temple?” The Grand Profound Sacred Land had too many forces under its command, and Grand Profound Sacred Lord simply couldn’t remember such a small place.
“Near White Cloud City, it’s a small Daoist Temple with only a few people, not even a third-rate sect. This time, their Longevity Temple disciples won first place with strange spirit treasures. I’ve investigated. The Temple Master of Longevity Temple has long disappeared. Now, only a few disciples and their useless Martial Uncle remain in Longevity Temple. The Prajna Axe fell into such a place, our Grand Profound Sacred Land must get it back.”
The Great Elder introduced it to Grand Profound Sacred Lord.
“Daoist Sect…” Grand Profound Sacred Lord murmured: “That’s normal.”
After all, the Daoist Sects had declined for hundreds of years. The existing Daoist Sects are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Even if they exist, there are not many disciples.
Grand Profound Sacred Lord couldn’t help but think of Li Hanzhou, who seemed to be an expert of the Daoist Sect, but should have nothing to do with Longevity Temple.
Li Hanzhou returned from the Divine Mechanism Merchant Guild, bought a lot of refining materials, and also arranged for the Divine Mechanism Merchant Guild to arrive at Longevity Temple tomorrow to start preparing for the renovation of Longevity Temple.
After all, people from other sects will be coming soon. Seeing Longevity Temple dilapidated would be laughable, wouldn’t it?
In a few days, whatever can be renovated will be renovated.
Li Hanzhou also bought some live chickens back.
After returning to Longevity Temple, Li Hanzhou immediately went into secluded cultivation.
He eagerly took out the Azure Dragon Hundred Flames, and according to the method described in the Beginner’s Guide to Alchemy, he began to try alchemy.
Learning that Li Hanzhou was really making pills for him, Liu Dongyue felt uneasy.
Can pills refined by Martial Uncle really be eaten?
Alchemy also requires a huge amount of Divine Soul Power. Li Hanzhou didn’t have much else, but his Divine Soul power was very strong.
Although he failed twice at the beginning, after the third attempt, after becoming proficient, he actually refined three pills directly.
“Success!”
After working hard for half a day, looking at the three pills in the Alchemy Furnace, Li Hanzhou quickly picked them out.
“So hot.” Li Hanzhou held them in his hand, feeling like candied chestnuts.
“Hmm, let me compare.” Li Hanzhou held the pill and compared it according to the instructions.
“The color is brownish-red, yes, that’s right.”
“The smell, a slightly sweet fragrance, let me smell it.”
“Yes, the smell is also correct.”
“There are three blue patterns…let me see.”
“Eh?”
Li Hanzhou’s face twisted like a deflated eggplant. Previously, both the color and smell were correct, but when it came to the patterns, Li Hanzhou found something was wrong again.
The instructions said there were three blue patterns.
But his pill… if he wasn’t mistaken, the patterns were indeed three, but the color was red.
“Why is it wrong again?” Li Hanzhou scratched his hair. Every time he refined spirit treasures or pills, there would be deviations. Why was this?
“Sigh!”
Li Hanzhou naturally dared not let Liu Dongyue eat this kind of thing. What if he poisoned his cute disciple?
So Li Hanzhou went out, went to the chicken coop, casually grabbed a chicken, and then fed it one of the Divine Strength Pills he had refined.
After the chicken ate it, Li Hanzhou waited for a while and found that the chicken didn’t change at all.
“So strange.”
“No effect?”
Li Hanzhou curiously looked at his pill. It seemed that the pill was non-toxic.
But being non-toxic was useless; the pill had to have an effect.
Li Hanzhou casually took out a talisman, then silently recited the incantation.
“Illusion!”
Illusionary Spirit Art!
The chicken that had eaten the pill immediately fell under an illusion and immediately attacked a more ferocious chicken.
In an instant, the two chickens began to fight wildly!
After a while, the chicken that had eaten the Divine Strength Pill was beaten bald by the stronger chicken.
“Completely useless?”
Li Hanzhou was speechless. This pill had no effect at all; it was just a ball.
