466: 439 466: 439 Inside the dicine Sect.
Lu Chuan made his way to the row of houses by the back garden and walked to the third one.
He opened the door, walked in, and, relying on his Divine Sense, quickly found the entrance to the cellar and entered it.
The cellar was not large, and as soon as he stepped in, Lu Chuan felt the rush of Spiritual Energy that was dozens of tis denser than the outside world.
Looking around, he found that the cellar stored rare Spiritual dicines, even the least aged among them were over a hundred years old.
There were as many as thirteen three-hundred-year spirit dicines, and on the innermost shelf, there were even two four-hundred-year spirit dicines!
Upon seeing these Spiritual dicines, Lu Chuan imdiately got excited and couldn’t help but admire that the dicine Sect, a sect dedicated to alchemy, really couldn’t be compared to ordinary sects just in terms of their reserves of Spiritual dicines.
Furthermore, he guessed that these dicines might only be a tiny part of the dicine Sect’s foundation, as this was just the branch in Cathay, and more of the Spiritual dicines must have been given to the headquarters.
“I wonder what the storage in the dicine Sect’s headquarters would look like.
If I had the chance to ransack, um…
to visit it, that would be great,” Lu Chuan thought sneakily.
Without hesitation, he collected all the Spiritual dicines in the cellar into his Demon Suppression Pagoda.
With so many Spiritual dicines, he had enough to concoct the elixir pill needed for reconstructing his body.
Looking at the cellar that had just been full, and was now empty, Lu Chuan suddenly felt a bit embarrassed and muttered, “I just cleared out soone else’s cellar like this, seems a bit too much, maybe I should put so back.”
With that thought in mind, he took out so herbs again and placed them on the shelves.
After looking at them, he said, “No, I can’t leave this one, I still need it.
That one seems very rare and hard to find, if I leave it and need it later, it would be troubleso…
Hmm…
this one looks quite nice, must be a valuable kind, better take it with …”
After a round of selection, in the end, Lu Chuan left only one herb that looked like grass on the shelf.
This herb was called Star Shower Grass, which, when ignited, produced effects like fireworks, resembling a sky full of stars—very pretty but with limited dicinal value.
Lu Chuan, looking at the Star Shower Grass left on the shelf, nodded with satisfaction and said, “This way, I can’t be accused of taking away all of their dicines, still keeping a conscience.
If I didn’t need those dicines so much, I would definitely have left more.”
After that, he did not linger any longer and quickly left the cellar.
“Cough, cough.” At this mont, the voice of the Tower Spirit sounded.
Lu Chuan asked in confusion, “What’s the matter, can a Tower Spirit catch a cold and cough, too?”
The Tower Spirit hastily said, “No, that’s not the case.
I ca to congratulate you on acquiring many herbs rich in Spiritual Energy, and also to remind you that your rent for the storage space is due.”
Lu Chuan: “???”
“Didn’t I just pay not long ago?
Besides, I am the master of the Demon Suppression Pagoda!
Why should I pay rent for using the Pagoda’s storage space?”
The Tower Spirit said, “For now, you’re still a little trash, so I’m in charge of managing all affairs of the Demon Suppression Pagoda.
Naturally, you have to pay rent.
As for when rent is collected, I decide based on my needs, and you just need to make your paynt.”
Based on your needs…
I really doubt if you are actually the Tower Spirit!
You couldn’t be so swindler who sneaked into the Demon Suppression Pagoda and is deceiving !
Although the Tower Spirit’s words annoyed him, considering the other party had previously served as a bridge of communication between him and the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint, Lu Chuan compromised and asked, “How much rent do you want?”
The Tower Spirit imdiately said, “Not much, not much…
just half of these herbs will do.”
Lu Chuan’s eyes widened, “What did you say?
Half?
Aren’t you being a bit too greedy?
I don’t agree, at most one third.”
The Tower Spirit said, “Sorry, but when you recognized the master of the Demon Suppression Pagoda, you effectively accepted the request to pay rent that I proposed.
So I have the right to take the rent from the abundance in the storage space, which ans I’ve already taken half of your herbs, and it’s too late for you to disagree now.”
Lu Chuan quickly checked his storage space and indeed, half of the herbs were gone; only seven of the three-hundred-year spirit dicines were left, and only one four-hundred-year spirit dicine remained.
He instantly felt as if his heart was bleeding and couldn’t help but curse the Tower Spirit for being a heartless middleman.
If only he had known, he wouldn’t have put those herbs into the Demon Suppression Pagoda.
Perhaps sensing Lu Chuan’s emotions, the Tower Spirit hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, for a short while, I won’t collect any more rent from you.
You should know that I collect this rent to recover myself.
The more I recover, the more power from the Demon Suppression Pagoda you can use, which is actually a good thing for you.”
“Moreover, to thank you for providing with so many herbs this ti, I can promise to help you once when you encounter a danger you can’t resolve.”
On hearing this, Lu Chuan’s attitude eased sowhat.
He understood that the absorption of the herbs by the Tower Spirit wasn’t a bad thing, and besides, the remaining herbs were enough to concoct the elixir for rebuilding his body, so he didn’t make too much of a fuss.
“What exactly constitutes an unsolvable danger?” Lu Chuan asked.
The Tower Spirit replied, “For example, if you encounter an enemy you can’t deal with, I can step in to help you resolve it.”
Lu Chuan inquired, “What’s the highest level of enemy you can deal with?”
The Tower Spirit replied, “I should be able to one-shot anyone below the Nascent Soul Realm.
It might be difficult with soone in the Divinity Transformation Stage, but if they’ve just entered this stage, even if I can’t kill them, I should be able to prevent them from killing you.”
Lu Chuan’s eyes imdiately bulged in astonishnt and he exclaid, “You are actually that powerful!”
The Tower Spirit said indifferently, “Otherwise, why do you think you’re just a little trash in my eyes.”
Lu Chuan: “…”
“So now that you’re so powerful, does that an I can just strut around anywhere I go?”
The Tower Spirit said, “Don’t get ahead of yourself.
I can lend you a hand because these dicinal ingredients can help recover so strength.
When the ti cos, I will use the Demon Suppression Pagoda to unleash a fatal strike by expending my origin force.
I can only do this once, after which I’ll fall back into slumber.
So you’d better think carefully before you ask to act.”
Lu Chuan suddenly understood.
The fact that the Tower Spirit could help him even once was already a huge sacrifice.
The idea of relying on the Tower Spirit to strut around was impractical.
Suddenly, he felt that the Tower Spirit taking half of the dicinal ingredients as rent didn’t seem so painful after all.
After all, compared to an opportunity that could save his life at a critical mont, those dicinal ingredients truly ant nothing.
“I understand, thank you,” Lu Chuan said sowhat sheepishly, “I thought you were so kind of greedy middleman just now.
It seems I wronged you, and I apologize for my shallow ignorance.”
“Tch,” the Tower Spirit replied disdainfully, and then there was silence.
Lu Chuan stopped thinking about it and used his Divine Sense to look for the alchemy location of the dicine Sect, then hurried there without delay.
As a sect founded on alchemy, the dicine Sect naturally had a place for concocting elixirs.
Soon, Lu Chuan arrived at a pavilion with a sign hanging over it that read “House of Alchemy.”
He pushed the door open, saw many alchemy furnaces inside, and then set up a restrictive formation at the entrance to prevent disturbances.
He selected the best Alchemy Furnace he could find and started preparing the ingredients needed for the elixir pill that would reconstruct his body.
This elixir pill did not have many requirents for the types of dicinal ingredients; they just needed to be of the required age.
Before long, Lu Chuan had prepared all the ingredients needed for concocting the elixir pill.
Then he began to set up a Formation beneath the Alchemy Furnace.
The dicine God was a Cultivator, so his alchemy furnace had a Formation already prepared for alchemy, but the mbers of the dicine God Sect were Martial Artists without the dicine God’s thods, so they still used the most primitive thod of burning firewood for alchemy.
If he wanted to make things easier, he would have to set up a Formation on the spot.
In no ti, Lu Chuan completed the Formation setup, and then he threw all the prepared ingredients into the Alchemy Furnace.
After doing this, he stretched his arm to the opening where the ingredients were fed into the Alchemy Furnace.
With his other hand, he used Spiritual Power as a blade to cut a slit on his arm and dripped about 400cc of blood into the Alchemy Furnace.
Once all the materials were in, Lu Chuan closed the Alchemy Furnace, then activated the Formation and started the alchemy process.
anwhile.
Lin Chuxia was at the sect, moving all the elders one by one to an open space, arranging them neatly, and thoughtfully finding a stone to serve as a pillow for each one.
After Lu Chuan had told her that the sect’s elders were not actually dead, she quickly checked and indeed found that they were not dead, just unconscious.
She tried to wake them up several tis but to no avail; she even slapped Elder Music hard a few tis, but he continued to sleep like a dead pig, so she knew these people would not wake up anyti soon.
Therefore, she had to settle everyone down to prevent, as Lu Chuan had said, the elders from being carried off by wild beasts.
She guessed that Lu Chuan must have left everyone unconscious because he still wanted to do sothing in the dicine Sect without anyone disturbing him.
Now she could claim to be the sect’s sole hope.
But she also knew her own limitations.
Lu Chuan had not let her fall unconscious along with the others because he knew she posed no threat at all.
She was full of indignation, failing to understand why soone as evil as Lu Chuan could be so powerful.
“This big demon is too hateful, and he can even read minds,” Lin Chuxia said.
“I don’t understand why the heavens haven’t struck him with retribution.
If he were struck by lightning and died, no one would know what kind of embarrassing images have run through my mind!”
Lin Chuxia moved Elder Painting to the open space to join the others, all the while cursing Lu Chuan.
At that mont, a jade bottle fell from Elder Painting’s body.
After placing Elder Painting properly, Lin Chuxia picked up the jade bottle and saw the words “Invincible Golden Spear Pill” inscribed on it.
Her eyes widened as she murmured, “This…
isn’t this the most poisonous poison that Elder Painting ntioned before!”
Since Elder Painting was the only female among the four Great Elders, Lin Chuxia often used to play in Elder Painting’s room.
Once, she found this “Invincible Golden Spear Pill” on Elder Painting’s table.
That day, coincidentally, a young and handso disciple had spent the whole night diligently learning alchemy in Elder Painting’s room.
At that ti, Lin Chuxia didn’t know what the Invincible Golden Spear Pill was used for and asked Elder Painting.
Upon seeing Lin Chuxia with the jade bottle, Elder Painting turned pale with fright, snatched it away, and then told Lin Chuxia that the elixir was the most poisonous poison in the world, lethal upon contact.
It was Elder Painting’s trump card, and Lin Chuxia must never speak of it to anyone or touch it carelessly.
The naive Lin Chuxia had no reason to doubt Elder Painting, and seeing her panic-stricken and blushing, she obediently heeded her advice.
From then on, she never touched the item again nor ntioned it to anyone.
Now, seeing the Invincible Golden Spear Pill fall from Elder Painting, a bold idea seed to spring into Lin Chuxia’s mind.
“That big demon is indeed powerful.
If it ca to blows, he could probably crush with just one hand.
But if I manage to feed him the most poisonous poison in the world, wouldn’t that spell the end for him?
Wouldn’t I have succeeded in avenging my master and the nurous experts of the dicine Sect?”
With that thought, an excited smile ford on Lin Chuxia’s face as she began to ponder how to feed Lu Chuan the world’s most poisonous poison.
