Chapter 93: Five-Way Spirit Contract Altar materials!
“Qi and Blood Pills?” Song Shuhang’s eyes lit up, it was really an unexpected surprise! He hadn’t thought that he would be able to get the Qi and Blood Pills so early, before he took on the mission of ‘receiving White True Monarch’. Song Shuhang had even thought that it was an extravagant hope for him to get Qi and Blood Pills at this stage.
“Your luck is pretty good.” Said dicine Master.
Co to think of it, North River’s Loose Practitioner had used Qi and Blood Pills and cultivation techniques to entice Song Shuhang into accepting the mission of receiving White True Monarch. Yet, in the blink of an eye, Song Shuhang had already obtained Qi and Blood Pills, though their quantity was still too low......
It was the legendary ‘you reap what you sow’... After accumulating so much good karma over the years, perhaps it had finally paid off for Song Shuhang?
However, upon thinking back, it was within reason.
The dead Altar Master was a 2nd Stage cultivator.
Altar Master had no need for Body Tempering Liquid, that was just sothing he used to reward his subordinates.
Although Qi and Blood Pills were mainly used by 1st Stage cultivators, they could also be used to recover a 2nd Stage cultivator’s true qi. That Altar Master was likely one of the poorer cultivators. He couldn’t attain the more precious Qi Amalgamation Pill, so he could only make do with Qi and Blood Pills.
Moreover, Altar Master had a cautious character. The things that were considered precious to him would all be carried with him everywhere he went.
In the end, they all fell into Song Shuhang’s hands.
“Qi and Blood Pills. A single pill can help recover all my qi and blood. With two bottles, I should be able to use it for so ti, right?” Song Shuhang asked.
dicine Master nodded and said, “As long as you don’t cultivate all day and night, it should last for a while. Furthermore, the quality of these Qi and Blood Pills isn’t bad, you can use a single pill several tis.”
“So I won’t lack Qi and Blood Pills in the near future?!” Song Shuhang’s eyes lit up again, “Senior dicine Master, do you think I can go and back out of receiving White True Monarch now?”
“Heh heh.” dicine Master didn’t answer him, and just made a kind yet weird laugh.
Wasn’t there’s a sentence that goes like this: Fellow daoist, you’re walking to your death, I’m not joining you?
Yep, this was the sentence!
......
......
“Alright, I was just kidding.” Song Shuhang shrugged—— two bottles of Qi and Blood Pills weren’t enough. There were only 26 pills in total. The question was whether they would last until White True Monarch ca out of cultivation. This amount was rely enough to have a taste of the effects of the Qi and Blood Pills.
In the end, he took out the tal box which was as big as an A5 sized book.
Sothing that could be placed alongside the Body Tempering Liquid and Qi and Blood Pill can’t be inferior, right?
When picking up the box, Shuhang felt that the box was quite heavy, as if he was holding onto a dense iron plate.
“What is this?” Song Shuhang curiously opened the tal box.
Inside, there were two charred-looking wood; ten pieces of gold, green, red, blue, brown crystals; a folded piece of cloth; two bottles of strange liquid...... And all kinds of different things. Other than the piece of cloth, everything else ca in pairs.
“Is this the Altar Master’s collection? I had no idea that his hobbies were so diverse. He collected a bit of anything and everything.” Song Shuhang picked through the box, but couldn’t really understand what they were for.
“Lightning-Struck Wood, Five-Way Stone, a ceremonial gown with arrays inscribed over it, Ghost Dragon Saliva... these aren’t just so oddities, they’re all treasures in the eyes of certain cultivators.” dicine Master smiled as he explained.
“Treasures! Can they be exchanged for Qi and Blood Pills?” Song Shuhang was gleeful.
Qi and Blood Pills weren’t just able to speed up foundation building, it was also helpful in replenishing qi and blood in all the main acupoints during the 1st Stage, and could even aid cultivation speed during the 1st Stage. It was one of those things that the more you have, the better. Having so in reserve is never wrong!
“Yes, you can exchange these treasures for quite a number of Qi and Blood Pills that are of the sa grade as the ones you have. However, if you exchange these treasures for Qi and Blood Pils, you’ll regret it y’know.” dicine Master chuckled as he spoke.
“Why?” Shuhang asked.
“These treasures weren’t just collected randomly by that Altar Master. With these three items: Lightning-Struck Wood, Five-Way Stone, and Ghost Dragon Saliva, you can build the foundation for an array. That array is called the Five-Way Spirit Contract Altar. In layman’s terms, it’s also called the Spirit Ghost Contract Array.” dicine Master said calmly, “So, do you still want to exchange these items for Qi and Blood Pills now?”
Song Shuhang’s mind was shaken like a pellet drum.
Lightning-Struck Wood, Five-Way Stone, and Ghost Dragon Saliva... and so many miscellaneous items. Other than the Lightning-Struck Wood, he had never seen the other items in real life. If he exchanged those items for Qi and Blood Pills, heaven knows if he would be able to find the sa set of treasures again.
Contracting a spirit ghost huh, as long as he completes his hundred days of foundation building, he will be able to attempt it. When that happens, even if he has surpassed the optimal age for foundation building a long ti ago, with the help of the spirit ghost, he still had hopes of chasing up to the elites of the sects.
This spirit ghost could very well be his ticket to beco a daoist.
“Your luck is extrely good. That Altar Master you killed had wanted to make a contract with a spirit ghost. He even prepared two sets of materials for the Five-Way Spirit Contract. In the end, it all benefited you.” dicine Master said.
That’s true, the Altar Master had sched to take back the spirit ghost for many years, amongst the things he brought along with him, the materials for the spirit ghost contract mustn’t be missing.
“That Altar Master had prepared two sets because there were two spirit ghosts in Ghost Lamp Temple. The Altar Master was prepared to contract two spirit ghosts at once. However, in the end, one of them ended up in Soft Feather’s hands and I got the other one.” Song Shuhang chuckled.
Afterwards, he carefully returned all of the small bottles and the materials for the Five-Way Spirit Contract back into the black suitcase. After so thinking, he took out the bottle with fewer Qi and Blood Pills again and carried it with him.
The 800,000 in cash was also tossed back into the suitcase. Only the roll of notes that had been opened was stuffed into his pocket.
“Senior, can I leave this suitcase here with you for now?” Song Shuhang asked. These items weren’t convenient to bring back. What if Zhao Yaya wanted to check the suitcase and found a case full of money? How would he explain where the money had co from?
Not to ntion all of the dicinal pills inside.
After thinking back and forth, it was safest to place it here with dicine Master.
“Don’t worry, just leave it there.” dicine Master agreed and said, “Are you free now? Help try out the Body Tempering Liquid recipe that was modified yesterday. Also, I also need to teach your how to use a cultivator’s pill furnace soon. That hotpot and induction cooker set of yours makes my liver hurt.”
“Is it alright if I co tonight? Right now... I have to make a trip to et my sister first.” Song Shuhang showed a suffering expression, as if he was protesting having to do so.
dicine Master smiled: “Sister? Oh, the one you just ntioned in the chat group, who’s suspecting that you’re hiding so serious disease? Hahahaha, go ahead, go ahead. When you’re done, co back and help test this recipe. It’s not urgent.”
“Alright then, Senior, I’m going now!” Song Shuhang waved and left dicine Master’s residence.
......
......
On the road back to Jiangnan University Town, Song Shuhang frowned: “I seem to have forgotten sothing? I keep feeling like I forgot to ask Senior dicine Master about sothing.”
He thought for a long long while.
Oh! Right, it was regarding that shiny Caucasian monk on the train.
He wondered how the Caucasian monk was doing after he had been taken away by the police.
Song Shuhang originally intended to chat over the matter regarding the Caucasian monk with dicine Master, and hear his opinion on this.
However, he had gotten too excited over the Qi and Blood Pills and the Five-Way Spirit Contract materials and had completely forgotten to ntion the Caucasian monk to Senior.
Forget it... I’ll ask Senior next ti. Song Shuhang thought in his heart.
