Li Family's Pill Scripture

"Old Bear, Old Bear, wanna go play?"

"I found a new beehive."

South of Mount Luo, there was a cave.

Inside the cave.

A black bear was painstakingly writing something on a stone slab in front of it.

"Not going," the black bear grumbled.

It was the grey squirrel speaking.

It hadn't seen the black bear in a long time.

"Not going? What are you doing then?"

It walked into the cave.

"What are you doing?"

"Writing."

The black bear grumbled.

"Writing?" The grey squirrel's eyes widened.

"What are you writing for?"

"Do you want to become a scholar too?"

The black bear didn't reply, just continued its task.

"So, are you going to get honey or not?"

"I'm not going."

"Alright then."

"I'm leaving."

The grey squirrel said, turning back as it walked away.

It felt a little dejected.

Old Bear hadn't gone out to play with him in ages.

"Senior Bai!"

In Luo Village.

Song Chengan clasped his hands together.

"Are you injured, Senior?"

Song Chengan asked, a little puzzled.

He saw that First Boss Bai's face was pale, and he looked even older than before.

First Boss Bai smiled.

"Just a minor injury."

A minor injury?

First Boss Bai's cultivation level was extraordinary. Whoever could injure him was likely no ordinary person.

It was best for him to stay out of such feuds.

"By the way, when I went out this time, I found a Daoist scripture on alchemy that you might be interested in."

First Boss Bai said, carefully taking a book from his robes and handing it to Song Chengan.

"Alchemy?"

Song Chengan accepted it with pleasant surprise.

Li Family's Pill Scripture.

It was a somewhat yellowed old book.

It recorded the alchemy insights of a Daoist priest named Li Xu, along with a pill recipe.

The recipe was for the Spirit Essence Pill.

Song Chengan had bought this kind of pill from Monk Ciren before; it was a basic medicinal pill used to aid cultivation.

"Senior Bai, how much is this pill scripture?"

"It's worthless. An old friend gave it to me."

"Take it and study it."

First Boss Bai waved his hand.

Song Chengan's expression, however, was extremely serious.

"I am but a humble scholar, and I've achieved nothing in many years."

"If Senior Bai hadn't introduced me to the immortal sect, I would have been insignificant my entire life."

"I've already received so much kindness from Senior Bai that I can't repay it. How can I accept more without reason now?"

"I beg Senior Bai to allow this junior to purchase this pill scripture with Talisman Coins."

"You really don't need to do this." First Boss Bai chuckled, "My time is short now, and Talisman Coins are of no use to me."

Song Chengan was stunned upon hearing this.

"What do you mean by that, Senior?"

"From what this junior understands, reaching Foundation Establishment grants at least two hundred years of life."

"Moreover, Senior is of the Yao race; your lifespan should be even longer."

"I don't know your cultivation level, Senior, but I assume it's no lower than Foundation Establishment. How could you be at the end of your lifespan?"

A smile touched First Boss Bai's lips. "Don't you remember what I told you?"

"I obtained it over thirty years ago."

"I've only been cultivating for about thirty years."

"Thirty years is a long time for human cultivators, but for us Yao, it's nothing."

"Especially for Yao like me, who don't have any noble bloodline."

"For a Yao of my background, thirty years is not enough to reach Foundation Establishment. Being able to touch the threshold of Foundation Establishment would already make one a top-tier prodigy among Yao."

"But after thirty years, I'm now just one step away from Grand Perfection Foundation Establishment."

"What do you think I relied on?"

First Boss Bai said with a chuckle.

Song Chengan was taken aback.

That's right.

The cultivation of Yao requires a very long time.

Why was First Boss Bai cultivating so quickly?

"Perhaps Senior is that one-in-a-million genius?"

First Boss Bai shook his head.

"No."

"I've cultivated a demonic art that consumes lifespan."

"I'm trading lifespan for an increase in strength."

"My strength increases rapidly, but the price is the exhaustion of my lifespan."

Song Chengan's face immediately showed shock upon hearing this.

He didn't know much about monsters and assumed First Boss Bai was simply reaching the natural end of his lifespan due to old age.

"Senior has a pure heart. Why would you cultivate such a demonic art?"

"I read in a Daoist scripture that there are True Qi methods in this world that can extend life."

"If Senior is willing to abandon this demonic art and cultivate a True Qi method that extends life, this junior is willing to help Senior find such a method."

Song Chengan said with utmost seriousness.

If he had to say who was the best to him in this world after his transmigration, it would naturally be his sister.

She was his blood relative.

Besides her, it was First Boss Bai before him.

Although he was a monster, he was also his guide on the path of cultivation.

One could say that without him, there would be no Song Chengan today.

He wasn't his nominal master, but he was better than one.

Furthermore, in Song Chengan's heart, First Boss Bai was someone who truly sought the righteous path.

The world condemned all monsters, Believing that all monsters in this world should be killed.

But Song Chengan didn't think so.

At least in his opinion, the monsters of Mount Luo, under First Boss Bai, were seekers who held the righteous path in their hearts.

He wished there were more people, or monsters, like them in the world.

But to Song Chengan's surprise, upon hearing his words, First Boss Bai shook his head without hesitation.

"I will not switch to another True Qi..."

"But..."

First Boss Bai waved his hand.

"Everyone's path is different."

"I am very pleased that you have become a cultivator who yearns for justice."

"It is my honor to be your guide."

First Boss Bai looked at Song Chengan and said.

But whether it was his own illusion or not, Song Chengan felt that First Boss Bai's gaze was incredibly hollow.

It was as if he was looking through him at something.

"This pill scripture, you can give me fifty Talisman Coins for it."

"If you don't have that many Talisman Coins, you can owe me."

"I have them. This junior has been working with the Imperial Court recently."

Song Chengan took out fifty Talisman Coins.

That Marrow Cleansing Pill was eventually bought by Wen Chengyun for three hundred Talisman Coins.

So Song Chengan was now considered to be somewhat well-off.

"Scholar Song, want to drink!"

As soon as Song Chengan walked out of First Boss Bai's room, he saw the Black Bear demon.

The fellow grinned widely and shouted at Song Chengan.

A Grey Squirrel was also with him.

"Let's go, we'll drink together."

As he spoke, he reached out to put his arm around Song Chengan's neck, but he withdrew his hand halfway.

"Heh heh."

"I forgot this isn't appropriate."

Song Chengan was speechless.

It really wasn't appropriate.

He imagined no one would like a black bear putting its paw on their shoulder.

"Come on, let's go to my cave."

When Song Chengan stepped into the cave, he was a little surprised.

Because the cave was covered with carvings everywhere.

Bear.

Mount Luo.

Righteous Path.

From the initial crooked strokes.

To the final well-formed characters.

This surprised Song Chengan.

This Black Bear seemed to have some real substance.

"Little ones, bring everything up, I'm going to drink until we drop with Scholar Song."

The Black Bear demon roared.

Immediately, several smaller black bears came in, holding various wild fruits from the mountains.

Another black bear was carrying a large wild boar in its mouth.

They were all spirits with some Cultivation Level, Song Chengan said.
