The Water Mother watched the two siblings converse and imdiately noticed that Mu Qingyan held great respect for this senior brother, and the relationship between the two was excellent.
"Senior brother, did I ss things up?"
Mu Qingyan looked a bit anxious and apologetic.
"No," Gu Chang shook his head and smiled reassuringly, "I didn’t see you in the laboratory, so I sent you a spirit letter and ca directly when you didn’t respond."
"Is everyone waiting for ?"
Mu Qingyan’s face turned even more worried.
"It’s fine, they’re all acquaintances, and everyone still has so preparatory work to do. You’re not late."
Mu Qingyan couldn’t listen anymore and rushed out of the courtyard, flying towards the sky.
The Water Mother watched from the side, knowing this was the important matter Mu Qingyan had ntioned earlier. She couldn’t help but wonder what significant matter could be causing Mu Qingyan to abandon the Secret Realm she left behind, and even give up the opportunity to prove herself as a True Immortal.
What does the Jiushan Sect have that Mu Qingyan can’t leave behind?
She followed Gu Chang and Mu Qingyan down into a Floating Island at the Green Dragon Inn.
As soon as they landed, Mu Qingyan hurriedly apologized to the group: "Master Qian, Elder Jiao, thank you for waiting."
There were quite a few people on this island.
Master Qian, head of Jiushan’s agriculture, was waiting here with Jiao Wuji and so disciples, along with Elder Xiong from the forr Qingmu Sect.
Seeing Mu Qingyan’s arrival, Master Qian didn’t say anything else and first asked with concern: "Are you alright?"
Mu Qingyan glanced stealthily at the Water Mother and shook her head: "I’m fine, just had so insights while cultivating and lost track of ti."
"That’s a good thing." Master Qian laughed, "Waiting a bit doesn’t matter."
The Water Mother found it increasingly strange that Mu Qingyan showed deep respect for Master Qian.
But Master Qian’s cultivation seed to be just at the Divinity Transformation, not particularly high for this place, while Elder Jiao, whose species couldn’t be determined, had much higher cultivation.
Yet everyone’s eyes on Qian were filled with respect.
The Jiushan Sect feels peculiar everywhere...
While chatting, the group walked towards the center of the island, soon entering a plain white room.
Inside the room was a bed, upon which lay a person.
Beside the bed were various iron lumps unfamiliar to the Water Mother, leaving her utterly confused.
But she recognized the person on the bed—why would the Original Demon Ancestor be lying here?
...
Mu Qingyan’s expression turned stern upon entering the room, asking Elder Xiong beside her: "How was the effect of the Spirit Enhancing Water from two days ago?"
Elder Xiong took out the Comprehensive Records from his hand, seemingly reviewing so docunts, before responding, "The effect is thirty-seven percent better than the previous version, and the side effects are fifty percent less."
His tone was full of joy.
Mu Qingyan only nodded faintly: "Not bad."
Master Qian laughed: "Is that just not bad? Spirit Enhancing Water has been thirty tis more effective than the first version since its developnt, and its side effects are even smaller than the Supre Dao’s Original Pill; isn’t that just not bad?"
The Original Pill is one of the Supre Dao’s unique pills, almost side-effect free, allowing cultivators to accumulate Spiritual Power; it’s imnsely useful in daily cultivation and even for breaking through, always in high demand and selling exceptionally well.
Mu Qingyan smiled sowhat embarrassedly: "Master Qian, our sect has invested significantly in our project group."
"Not only does it let you lead Elder Jiao in cultivating Spirit Plants specifically for our project."
"Even my senior brother set aside his tasks to help ."
"Let alone the Original Magical Body for us to experint on, and the Heavenly Inference Array Plate sparing no resources for deduction."
"Now the effects of Spirit Enhancing Water are insufficient, and even one Spirit Enhancing Water can only be considered the beginning."
Master Qian thought for a mont, nodding: "Pharmacology is indeed the weakest point of our Jiushan Sect, and solving this issue is crucial for its developnt."
Among the four arts of cultivation, talismanic Dao has always been a traditional advantage of the Jiushan Sect.
Thanks to modern manufacturing principles and the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation Skills, the Jiushan Sect is confident in claiming the first place in Xuanwei, not to ntion they nearly entirely inherited the legacy of Haori Mountain.
Array Dao needs no explanation; Creation Golden Immortal and Heaven-Shaking Demon Emperor conducted life experints.
However, pharmacology, or Alchemy Dao, has not been up to par in developnts; earlier was manageable as Jiushan Sect and Supre Dao were allies.
Now the relationship between Jiushan Sect and Supre Dao is not great, not even maintaining an appearance of harmony—comrce still exists, as the Jiushan Sect produces nurous Magic Artifacts for sale.
But Supre Dao isn’t as generous; so important pills are no longer exported to the Jiushan Sect.
Mu Qingyan looked at others seriously: "Our master said that relying on Supre Dao makes us subject to others; our Jiushan Sect must have its own substitutes for crucial pills, allowing for slightly lesser effects."
"For this, the sect spares no expenses and sets no deadlines, offering us maximum assistance."
Speaking this, Mu Qingyan’s gaze beca sharper:
"I know my master fears overwhelming pressure on and doesn’t want to set higher goals... but I refuse to be inferior to Supre Dao."
"Why should our Jiushan Sect’s Alchemy Dao be inferior to Supre Dao?"
"We will produce better pills than Supre Dao!"
Everyone in the room looked at each other, nodding gently.
...
The Water Mother watched Mu Qingyan speak passionately, feeling very complicated, comprising so admiration and more helplessness.
She could see, of course, that Mu Qingyan devoted all her attention to pill developnt.
It seems the Jiushan Sect has shown her trendous trust and resources, with so many departnts here, Mu Qingyan is the project leader.
