After contemplating silently in his heart, Jiang Liu directly opened his shopping system and entered the elixir category.
In the marketplace, there were many types of elixirs, including regular Healing Potions and Mana Potions, as well as many others possessing mythical effects.
For example, the half-bottle of Divine dicine that Jiang Liu had been keeping was also available for sale there.
Sun God Water (consumable): Once used, one could obtain the power of utmost rigidity and Supre Yang, causing double damage to targets with Dark Attributes, lasting for 300 seconds, priced at 100,000 silver.
Strengthening Shadow Pill (consumable): Once used, it allows one's form to beco ethereal, immune to all physical attacks, lasting for 1200 seconds, priced at 250,000 silver.
Enlightennt Pill (consumable): Once used, it increases one's comprehension threefold for a duration of 1200 seconds, priced at 500,000 silver.
...
Within the marketplace, there were many miraculous potions, and after Jiang Liu carefully searched around, his eyes eventually fell on the Enlightennt Pill.
A price of 500,000 silver sufficiently illustrated the value of this elixir.
Moreover, this potion would not cause much trouble for him personally.
The previous reminder from Sha Wujing was quite necessary, after all, he and the people of the Buddhist Sect were fundantally in opposition; Liaokong could very well be a person from dicine Buddha.
Then, if he gave away the counteracting potions, could dicine Buddha possibly deduce the recipes?
Therefore, whether it be the Healing Potion or the Mana Potion, or even the battlefield-effective Sun God Water, he could not give any away.
After much consideration, only the Enlightennt Pill seed most suitable, as increasing comprehension comparatively posed a lesser threat to himself.
The value of 500,000 silver ant that consuming this Enlightennt Pill was akin to devouring a Fire Tip Spear; with only 1200 seconds of duration, it indeed was very precious.
After prolonged consideration, once he confird this Enlightennt Pill, Jiang Liu spent 500,000 silver to purchase it from the marketplace.
"Amitabha, giving and receiving are part of courtesy. Brother, your Marrow-Cleansing Glazed Pill is indeed priceless. Here, I have an Enlightennt Pill to give to you as a reciprocal gift!"
After making the purchase, Jiang Liu took out the Enlightennt Pill from his bag and presented it to Liaokong.
As the Enlightennt Pill was brought out, a strange dicinal fragrance diffused, making everyone sll it feel ntally refreshed, as if their thoughts too had beco much clearer.
Originally, seeing Jiang Liu take out the Enlightennt Pill, Liaokong felt sowhat disappointed because his master's mission was to exchange for that miraculous red Healing Potion.
Back when Sun Wukong fought against Master Leizhen, relying on the potion's terrifying healing effects, he had defeated Master Leizhen with the Cultivation Level of a Taiyi True Immortal, making this miraculous potion coveted by countless others.
dicine Buddha, being first-rate in the Buddhist Alchemy, was no exception.
Taking advantage of this catastrophe, using a priceless Marrow-Cleansing Glazed Pill to exchange for a few bottles of that red potion was the purpose of Liaokong's descent to the mortal realm.
However, when Liaokong slled the enticing scent of the Enlightennt Pill and felt his senses clear up, his eyes brightened considerably and he stared at Jiang Liu, asking, "This Enlightennt Pill is?"
"As the na suggests, the purpose of this elixir is to open one's comprehension. After consuming this pill, within about five or six hundred breaths, one's comprehension can increase by three tis!" Jiang Liu explained.
1200 seconds of ti, when converted to the breathing of an ordinary person, is indeed about five or six hundred breaths.
"It can increase comprehension? By three tis!?" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Liaokong widened his eyes, finding it unbelievable.
While cultivation is arduous, it also demands sudden enlightennt.
As the old saying goes, a thousand years of hard cultivation is not as good as one night's sudden enlightennt.
And when cultivating various Divine Skills and Spells, comprehension is even more necessary.
It's just that one's comprehension is natural from birth and never has there been any talk of sothing that could enhance it.
The Enlightennt Pill Jiang Liu brought out today could be considered the only thing in the Three Realms and Six Paths that could increase comprehension.
And for the people of the Buddhist Sect, comprehension is even more crucial.
"Brother, what you said about this Enlightennt Pill, is it truly so?" Staring intently at the Enlightennt Pill for a long ti, Liaokong's voice even trembled a bit.
"Indeed, propriety demands reciprocation. Only this Enlightennt Pill can serve as a return gift, please do not decline, Brother Liaokong!" Jiang Liu nodded and stuffed the Enlightennt Pill into Liaokong's hand.
Although fetching the Healing Potion was Liaokong's mission this ti, it must be said, sothing that could enhance a person's comprehension, which never before appeared in the Three Realms and Six Paths, was also imasurable in value.
Thus, after receiving the Enlightennt Pill, Liaokong didn't ntion the Healing Potion anymore.
As the two n exchanged the elixirs and the ti had grown late, the Local Deity Temple wasn't very large, and Jiang Liu had no intention of crowding around in the temple with Liaokong; he left the Local Deity Temple with Sun Wukong and the others.
"Master, the elixir you just gave him is a lie, right? I've never heard of an elixir that can enhance comprehension!" In Wowo Village late at night, Jiang Liu sat on the back of the White Dragon Horse, with Zhu Bajie asking next to him.
"No, the elixir was real, I didn't deceive him!" Jiang Liu shook his head and said in response to Zhu Bajie's words.
"Why?" As soon as Jiang Liu finished speaking, Sun Wukong's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at Jiang Liu.
Clearly, everyone was opposed, so why give such a good elixir to soone from the Buddhist Sect?
"Why? It's about karma. If I had taken his Colored Glaze Pill without returning the favor, it would an I owed him karma, and that would be troubleso later on!" Hearing Sun Wukong's question, Jiang Liu explained.
"Hmm, Master's words do make sense!" As Jiang Liu explained, Zhu Bajie was the first to stand up and express his agreent.
Whether he truly agreed or just wanted to curry favor in front of his master was another matter.
"Karma? What's that?" However, upon hearing Jiang Liu's explanation, Sun Wukong scratched his head, looking sowhat perplexed.
Monkey Brother, I know a bit about this!"
Zhu Bajie chid in, explaining, "This thing about karma, it's rarely ntioned these days. It used to be said that if a person owed another a favor, he owed them karma, which must be repaid eventually! It's sothing like that!"
"Karma? Is there really such a concept?" Sun Wukong scratched his head, utterly clueless.
While he was cultivating at the Spirit Platform on Square Inch Mountain, Ancestor Bodhi had never ntioned anything about karma to him.
And after returning from his training, he created Havoc in Heaven and was then suppressed under Five Elents Mountain for five hundred years, further isolating him from contact with others, naturally making him even more unaware of this so-called karma.
"If I, Old Sun, knew about this karma stuff earlier, perhaps I wouldn't have forcefully demanded the Golden Hoop from the Dragon Palace," he reflected.
"According to this logic, do I, Old Sun, still owe the Dragon King of Eastern Sea so karma? Wait, the other three seas also helped assemble armor; perhaps there's so karma there too?" This was the first ti Sun Wukong had heard about the existence of karma, and he murmured to himself quietly.
"Right, Master..." However, after explaining, Zhu Bajie followed up with a sly look on his face, turned to Jiang Liu, and asked, "Is there any more Enlightennt Pill?"
Seeing Zhu Bajie's expression, which seed sowhat sleazy no matter how one looked, Jiang Liu frowned slightly.
Without asking why he wanted the Enlightennt Pill, Jiang Liu simply looked at Zhu Bajie with an inquiring gaze, signaling him to elaborate.
"Master, you've taught quite a bit about charming ladies, and I, Old Pig, do review it every day, but I always feel that I can't even grasp a smidgen of your skill. So, could you give an Enlightennt Pill, Master? Maybe it'll help grasp so basics?" Zhu Bajie said with a shaless grin and a chuckle as he explained to Jiang Liu.
"Scram!"
Jiang Liu's expression darkened, and he retorted irritably at Zhu Bajie.
Are you kidding ? 500,000 silver, enough to buy a treasure like the Fire Tip Spear, and he wants to buy an Enlightennt Pill for him just to boost his comprehension and learn flirting tricks?
"Oh, okay..." Seeing his master's expression, Zhu Bajie bowed his head and fell silent.
From his master's deanor, it was clear that the Enlightennt Pill was indeed a very precious item.
And what did his master just say?
Scram?
He ant rejection, but it wasn't a 'no'!
So, does that an that Master still has so Enlightennt Pills on hand?
But unlike those healing potions, the quantity of Enlightennt Pills must be extrely limited, right?
Regardless of what Zhu Bajie was thinking, Jiang Liu sat on the White Dragon Horse's back, and the Scripture Seeking team directly left Wowo Village. Reaching beyond the village, he promptly took out the Exquisite Immortal Mansion.
For Jiang Liu, although the Enlightennt Pill was precious, using one to exchange for a Marrow-Cleansing Glazed Pill was definitely a huge gain.
"Amitabha Buddha..."
Just as Jiang Liu was about to throw out the Exquisite Immortal Mansion, suddenly, a young monk approached.
Observing the young monk, who appeared to be about thirteen or fourteen years old and dressed as a Novice Monk but had nine incense scars on his head, Jiang Liu raised an eyebrow in surprise.
What's going on? A small place like Wowo Village has already seen a monk with ten incense scars like Liaokong, and now there's a young monk with nine? What's the story with Wowo Village?
"This humble monk is Liaoxin, acquainted with Master Xuanzang!" The young monk ca up to Jiang Liu, bowed, and introduced himself.
"Liaoxin?"
It was already midnight, and this couldn't be coincidental. Jiang Liu's eyes flickered slightly as he asked, "What is your relation to Liaokong, and why are you waiting for here?"
