Senior Looks So Young and Handsome, but Sadly He's from Great Forest Temple
After Lu Ping finished speaking, Si Wangshu's courtyard fell silent once again.
Si Wangshu did not ask any further questions.
Qi Cangshu felt a sudden realization.
I see.
Great Forest Temple travels the world, helping others and helping itself, and emphasizes cause and effect.
This True Person Lu does not appear as a Buddha, wear monk's robes, or shave his head, yet he is able to improve the elixir of immortality for a group of low-level cultivators he does not know.
If this isn't a great monk, then what is?
As for why the high monk wasn't bald...
Qi Cangshu dared not even think about it.
It's best not to speculate too much about the world of high-ranking monks, especially since he's just an elder of the Alchemy Hall Greenwood Sect.
However, Si Wangshu still hesitated.
She greatly admired a Golden Core True Person from a top-tier sect who was willing to modify a deadly pill destined to be stained with blood for the sake of lower-level cultivators.
However, while I admire him, I must also admire him.
When the Si Clan does things, one should never just admire them.
An improved Spirit-Urging Pill- Boosting Pill Formula is indeed enough for her to complete this assessment ahead of schedule.
However, this was still not enough to persuade the Si Clan to step in and help a Golden Core cultivator obtain the status of Third-Grade Alchemist through the Heavenly Certification Alliance.
Even if this Golden Core cultivator is Golden Core True Person from Great Forest Temple.
Moreover, directly granting Third-Grade Alchemist Certificate involves more than just Alchemy Technique.
It also includes resume, background, guarantees, and the attitude of the forces behind them.
Great Forest Temple is a top-tier sect in the Domain of Chaos.
Si Wangshu gently pressed her fingertip on the Jade Slip, remaining silent for a long while.
Qi Cangshu stood aside, and he understood as well.
Miss Si is interested.
However, it's not yet at the point where I can nod in agreement.
Looking at her expression, Lu Ping wasn't surprised.
It's about doing business.
No matter how much sentimental the client is, the procurement process cannot be skipped.
Lu Ping raised his hand and took out a second Jade Slip, placing it on the table.
"The recipe for the Spirit-Boosting Pill is just a small gift for our first meeting."
Si Wangshu's eyes finally narrowed slightly.
Lu Ping pushed the Jade Slip forward half an inch, his voice remaining calm.
"This is what I really want to discuss with the Si Clan."
This time, Lu Ping only allowed Si Wangshu to scan for a moment before withdrawing his attack.
A few lines of text flashed by in the Jade Slip.
The Heaven-Mending Minor Restoration Pill.
Upgrade your Low-Grade Spirit Root to Middle-Grade Spirit Root.
Void-Aperture Jade Marrow.
Three-leaf chrysanthemum, black bone vine, spirit fetus ginseng root...
Si Wangshu finally withdrew her hand from the edge of the table.
Lu Ping spoke up at the opportune moment.
"This Pill Formula isn't very useful to me; it's just sitting in my sheath."
[Flattery works.]
[The Workplace People-Pleaser works.]
[Workwear Thugs in effect.]
[The Friend of Women is now in effect.]
Lu Ping looked at Si Wangshu.
"I have a special connection with young friend Si."
"Consider this Pill Formula a gift to someone destined to receive it."
Si Wangshu did not reply immediately.
She pressed her fingertips against the Jade Slip Spirit-Urging Pill, her fingertips slowly moving to the edge of the Jade Slip.
The Si Clan the Azure Dragon Upper Domain has no shortage of Spirit Stones.
There is no shortage of Alchemists.
The art of replenishing Spirit Root is something that each family has its own tradition.
However, either the spirit medicine were no longer available, rendering the Pill Formula ineffective, or the Pill Formula itself was damaged or incomplete for various reasons.
Currently, there are no more Pills available in the entire Azure Dragon Upper Domain to replenish Spirit Roots.
What this senior brought out was something powerful enough to disrupt the existing balance of power within the Si Clan.
Although Si Wangshu is the direct descendant of the Si Clan, she has many competitors.
She, Si Wangshu, is not just Si Wangshu herself; she represents all the Si Clan forces that support Si Wangshu.
Obtaining this Pill Formula will give Si Wangshu and Si Wangshu supporting forces an advantage in the Si Clan's future competition.
That's why this senior dared to bring out this Pill Formula; he probably wants more than just a Third-Grade Alchemist Certificate.
Si Wangshu finally spoke.
"What would you like, senior?"
Lu Ping laughed heartily.
"Young friend Si, I've already said that."
"I just want to stay here for a few days."
As he said this, he tapped the table lightly with his fingertip, his voice not loud.
"I only hope that no misunderstandings will occur between us and the Si Clan in the future."
Si Wangshu's eyes narrowed slightly.
This senior will be staying at the Greenwood Sect for a few days.
The Greenwood Sect was merely an insignificant little sect in the Qingling Border Region.
Given the cultivation level, alchemy skills, and connection to Great Forest Temple that this senior has demonstrated, his staying here is not simply for the sake of traveling to Great Forest Temple.
He must have something important to do next.
His early visit to the Si Clan is a way of asking for the Si Clan attitude.
Should we stay out of it, or cooperate as needed?
Si Wangshu pondered for only a moment.
Then, she stood up and gave a proper bow.
"During your stay at the Greenwood Sect, our Si Clan naturally cooperated fully with everything you did."
Qi Cangshu stood to the side, his face showing shock.
He was the one who handled all the Si Clan's projects, so he naturally understood what the Si Clan meant.
Si Wangshu represents the Si Clan of the Azure Dragon Upper Domain.
Lu Ping looked at her and chuckled softly.
"Good."
"Young friend Si is indeed a straightforward person."
As he spoke, he pushed the Jade Slip Spirit-Urging Pill on the table in front of Si Wangshu.
"Please accept this gift."
As for the second Jade Slip, Lu Ping did not take it out again.
Si Wangshu did not press the matter further.
The fact that the other party produced the first Jade Slip already showed their attitude.
Whether they can get a second one depends on how good the Si Clan's attitude is going to be.
And when will I receive the Third-Grade Alchemist Certificate?
With the matter settled, Lu Ping stood up.
Qi Cangshu immediately moved as well.
Lu Ping glanced at him.
"Elder Qi, let's go."
Qi Cangshu then realized what was happening and quickly cupped his hands in greeting.
"Yes."
The two left the Bamboo Courtyard.
The courtyard gate closed again.
With a gentle sway of the bamboo leaves, the spiritual patterns of the inner Killing Formation silently disappeared.
Si Wangshu stood in front of the stone table for a long time without sitting down.
From the shadows, an aged voice finally rang out from within the Nascent Soul's aura.
"Miss, this person has a very impressive background."
"He appears to be only at the Golden Core stage, but I have a premonition that even if I go all out, I'm afraid I won't be his match."
Si Wangshu looked at the Jade Slip Spirit-Urging Pill on the table, her fingertips gently pressing against the edge of the Jade Slip.
"I know."
The voice fell silent for a moment.
Should we investigate?
"No, we just need to fulfill our deal with our senior."
Si Wangshu lowered her eyes to look at the Jade Slip, but the image of Lu Ping from earlier involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
Dressed in the robes of an Outer Sect Disciple, he stood there with more composure than the direct descendants of many Aristocratic Clan and sects in the Upper Domain.
He possesses magnanimity, alchemy skills, and spiritual cultivation.
He could have used this Pill Formula to exchange for countless benefits, but he deliberately brought up the life and death of those low-level cultivators first.
What's even more remarkable is that this senior looks so young and handsome, and speaks so pleasantly.
Si Wangshu paused slightly with her fingertips.
If such a senior were placed in the Azure Dragon Upper Domain, he would undoubtedly attract the attention of countless Aristocratic Clan ladies.
What a pity.
She sighed softly to herself.
They just happened to be from Great Forest Temple.
No matter how good the people at Great Forest Temple are, they cannot be forced to return to secular life...
