Heaven-Mending Minor Restoration Pill
Seeing that you produced three pieces in one batch, Wu Yucheng opened his mouth, then swallowed his words.
[He possesses a high-level Pill Furnace, Foundation Establishment cultivation, and the backing of the Main Hall.]
[These three items, when stacked together, only yielded two.]
[And you used an old furnace to Qi Refining Perfection, producing three pieces in one furnace.]
If he speaks again, he will only humiliate himself.
Han Changqing sat up straight and removed his hands from the armrest.
He looked at the three Qi-Gathering Pills in the jade plate, then his gaze fell on you.
You remained calm and bowed with your hands clasped in greeting.
"I was lucky."
"This disciple is merely following Elder Qi's old methods."
"Over the years, the elders have taught the disciples how to stabilize the fire, distribute the medicine, and preserve their essence, but the disciples have only learned a little bit of the basics."
"I dare not take credit."
[The Flattery has taken effect.]
Qi Cangshu's satisfaction with you has greatly increased.
[The Workplace People-Pleaser, effective.]
[The people in the Alchemy Hall are increasingly favoring you.]
Qi Cangshu picked up his teacup and took a sip.
"Lu Ping is a reliable person. It wasn't a waste of time teaching him."
Several elders nodded in agreement.
Several disciples at the Alchemy Hall simultaneously relaxed their shoulders.
Qian Dafu lowered his head, desperately suppressing the urge to laugh.
Xu Qingshi swallowed back the words he had almost blurted out, only pinching himself lightly in his sleeve.
[Options pop up.]
[A: Voluntarily stated that their cultivation was shallow and they only wished to temporarily take over the affairs and follow the Sect Master's arrangements.]
[B: Taking advantage of the situation, request a formal elder's decree to ensure legitimacy.]
[C: It is suggested that Wu Yucheng be awarded a participation prize, with the prize being a 5% discount coupon for purchasing Qi-Gathering Pills.]
Little B, it's obvious that Han Changqing wants to plant people in the Alchemy Hall.
Now that we've won a round, it's best to stop while we're ahead.
If you push too hard, it's easy to create unnecessary complications.
Lu Ping chose A.
[You chose A.]
[You bow to Han Changqing.]
"This disciple's cultivation is still shallow; I dare not presume to assume the position of elder."
"If the sect needs me, this disciple is willing to temporarily manage the miscellaneous affairs of the Alchemy Hall."
"The decision rests with the Sect Master."
[The Passing the Buck is now in effect.]
[You kicked the ball to Han Changqing.]
[He proposed the on-site assessment, and the results were displayed in the center of the hall.]
[If we forcefully support Wu Yucheng at this point, the various halls will inevitably harbor resentment. Han Changqing is at the Foundation Establishment, and the elders of the various halls are also at the Foundation Establishment.]
The fact that this competition is happening today shows that Han Changqing hasn't reached the point where he can control everything in the Greenwood Sect.
[Han Changqing raises his hand.]
"Lu Ping's alchemy skills are exceptional; he will temporarily assume the duties of an elder in the Alchemy Hall."
"Unfortunately, my cultivation is still shallow, so I will continue to Deacon as a deacon."
[You accept the Alchemy Chamber General Token from Qi Cangshu.]
[After the meeting, before leaving the Main Hall, Qi Cangshu called you to a side corridor.]
"Lu Ping, avoid touching the accounts of the Alchemy Hall if possible."
"The Main Hall won't lose just this one match."
"You've always been a reliable person, which is a good thing."
"But when someone pushes you, being cautious can actually make you a target."
After listening to Qi Cangshu's words, you bowed respectfully.
"Thank you for your guidance, Elder. However, this disciple only focuses on alchemy and is not concerned with anything else."
Qi Cangshu did not offer any further advice.
"I am currently in seclusion, and the date of my emergence is uncertain."
"How long the Alchemy Hall can hold out depends on you."
Qi Cangshu turned and walked towards his secluded cave abode at the Back Mountain.
[Qian Dafu rushed to your side immediately, his face beaming with joy.]
"Senior Brother Lu."
He seemed to sense something was wrong, paused for a moment, and then changed his words.
"Elder Lu."
You glanced at him.
"Are you trying to make me die too slowly?"
Qian Dafu immediately lowered his head.
"Senior Brother Lu."
Xu Qingshi followed behind, then paused.
"Senior Brother Lu, the disciples in the Alchemy Chamber are all waiting for arrangements."
[Inside the main hall of the Alchemy Hall, all the supervising disciples were already lined up.]
[Everyone is staring at the Alchemy Chamber General Token in your hand right now.]
[Place the Chief Token on the table.]
"I am merely temporarily in charge of the Alchemy Hall. All the rules and regulations within the hall will remain the same, and individual quotas will also remain unchanged."
"There's just one thing: all transactions involving medicinal herbs require the signatures of three people."
"The storage of Pills also requires dual accounting."
"I don't mind who wants to be my target as the new leader."
[Bully at Home, effective.]
[All disciples of the same and lower ranks bowed their heads.]
[Your Alchemy Chamber arrangements have been assigned to Xu Qingshi.]
"Qing Shi, from now on, you'll be in charge of the initial assessment of new disciples' skills."
Xu Qingshi was stunned.
Several alchemy disciples nearby looked at him at the same time.
Qian Dafu also paused writing for a moment.
Xu Qingshi bent over completely.
"Senior brother, I would never dare to make a mistake."
[On this day, the Alchemy Hall enters your term of office.]
[You neither immediately purged the old guard nor expanded your share.]
[You only separate the medicinal herbs, Pills, and account books into three lines.]
[Each line has two people checking each other's work.]
Qian Dafu is in charge of the price difference from external procurement.
[Xu Qingshi is in charge of training the new disciples.]
[You yourself have control over the Pill Formula catalog and the approval of medium-sized medicinal materials.]
Meanwhile, outside the Alchemy Hall, on a branch of a towering Spirit Wood, an ordinary Crow perched quietly.
[The shade and leaves of the trees concealed its form.]
[It tilted its head, looking towards the Main Hall.]
The Crow perched on the branch all night.
[You only returned it to your Dantian after confirming that the Main Hall would not take any further action.]
[The next day, you, using your authority as acting elder of the Alchemy Hall, opened the innermost chamber at the deepest part of the Alchemy Hall.]
Inside the Stone Gate, three rows of black wooden cabinets stood against the wall, their doors sealed with tape.
The earliest date on the seal dates back 120 years.
[Your most important purpose in coming here today is the incomplete Pill Formula that Si Wangshu gave you.]
[Si Wangshu didn't say it explicitly, but what she sent out was definitely not ordinary.]
[Previously there were no resources, but now we can conduct research.]
[First, browse through the highest-level Pill Formula catalog in the Alchemy Hall.]
[Qi-Replenishing Pills, Qi-Congealing Pills, Qi-Gathering Pills, Spirit-Eroding Powder...]
[Further on, there are fragments.]
[Over the centuries, the Greenwood Sect has collected thousands of incomplete prescriptions, some of which seem useless.]
[These incomplete formulas cannot be refined into pills, yet they represent the very foundation of the Greenwood Sect.]
[You retrieve the incomplete Pill Formula that Si Wangshu gave you before she left.]
[You compare it line by line with the table of contents comments.]
[Two hours later, you stopped.]
[The 918th incomplete prescription reads: Replenish congenital deficiencies, alleviate acquired turbidity, and improve inferior Root Bone structure.]
[You keep scrolling down, and finally five words appear.]
[The Heaven-Mending Minor Restoration Pill]
[Place the Jade Slip on the table.]
[Let a line of words remain in your mind,]
["Can improve Low-Grade Spirit Root, making it Middle-Grade Spirit Root."]
[Only effective for Low-Grade Spirit Roots.]
When Lu Ping saw the line "Only effective for Low-Grade Spirit Roots," he fell silent in reality.
You can't change your fate if you worked 996 in your past life.
Even with Low-Grade Spirit Root after transmigrating, I'm still destined to be a beast of burden.
The game text suddenly tells him that there is a Pills that can change his foundation.
It's like a corporate slave who's been in debt for ten years suddenly finding a genuine prize notification in their spam messages.
My first reaction was to suspect that the other party was trying to scam me for the verification code.
[Core Ingredient: Nine-Orifice Spirit Embryo Root, extinct for three thousand years.]
[You stared at the words "extinct" and fell silent.]
[Options pop up.]
[A: Immediately seal away the Pill Formula, and only touch it again when you are strong enough.]
[B: Analyze the properties of the Pill Formula and look for alternative solutions.]
[C: Write to Si Wangshu to inquire whether after-sales customer service is included when sending medicines to disabled persons.]
