Eldest Senior Brother, How About Calling It the Vajra Power Pill? New book, please collect
"Eldest Senior Brother! The pill refinement succeeded!"
The voice was loud and none too pleasant, but to Lu Changsheng's ears, it was like heavenly music.
Ignoring the confusion of those Great Luo second-generation disciples, Lu Changsheng headed down the mountain.
Before long, he saw that youthful disciple.
"Junior Brother Li Chun greets Eldest Senior Brother."
The moment Li Chun saw Lu Changsheng, he dropped to his knees in worship, visibly overwhelmed with excitement.
"The pill has been refined?"
Lu Changsheng was nervous and thrilled inside, yet his expression remained utterly calm, as though everything had gone exactly as expected.
"Yes! Please inspect it, Eldest Senior Brother."
The other man excitedly took out a pill.
The pill gleamed golden, about the size of a longan. It carried a faint fragrance and gave off wisps of spiritual qi.
Lu Changsheng was delighted inside. He wanted to ask what effect this pill had, but after some thought, decided it would be better to phrase it differently.
"Come, let Senior Brother test you. What is the effect of this pill?"
Hearing Lu Changsheng's words, Li Chun immediately drew a deep breath and answered, "Eldest Senior Brother, after swallowing this pill, one's strength will increase!"
He spoke with great excitement.
"Huh? A strength pill?"
Lu Changsheng froze. He had thought this pill would be something extraordinary, but he had not expected it to be so simple.
Wasn't this just a strength pill?
"Yes, yes, yes! Eldest Senior Brother, it's a strength pill!"
Li Chun grinned honestly, looking extremely excited.
At once, all interest vanished from Lu Changsheng's eyes.
He had thought Li Chun had refined some remarkable pill, but it turned out to be just a strength pill?
Brother, this was an immortal cultivation world, not a martial arts world. What was there to get excited about over a strength pill?
Seeing that Lu Changsheng said nothing, Li Chun inexplicably felt that he had done something wrong. Yet after thinking it over, he had no idea what it was. He could only wipe the smile from his face and say, "Eldest Senior Brother, Junior Brother is dull-witted. Though I refined this pill, I feel that it has not been refined to perfection. Therefore, after swallowing it, this pill can only increase one's strength tenfold."
Li Chun said this, assuming Lu Changsheng disliked it because he had failed to refine the pill properly.
Yet Lu Changsheng could not help but be astonished.
"How much did you say?"
"Tenfold!"
Li Chun scratched his head and replied in all seriousness.
Tenfold?
This time, Lu Changsheng was truly shocked.
A tenfold increase?
That was a little outrageous.
Ordinarily, for this kind of pill, a twofold or threefold increase already counted as a high-grade pill. But tenfold!
"What cultivation realm can it be used in?"
Lu Changsheng continued asking.
"I'm not sure about that, but at the very least, when this Junior Brother at the Foundation Establishment realm swallowed it, my strength increased tenfold."
Li Chun answered.
At the Foundation Establishment realm, it increased one's strength tenfold?
Lu Changsheng was shocked once more.
One had to know that although cultivators focused on Daoist arts and did not place much emphasis on physique, they were still immortals. Foundation Establishment cultivators generally possessed the strength of around ten thousand jin. Tenfold meant one hundred thousand jin.
Even a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator would not be able to withstand a strike carrying one hundred thousand jin of force.
In other words, if a Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator swallowed this strength pill, could they defeat a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator?
This was incredible. He had to apply for a patent.
"How long does it last?"
Lu Changsheng continued asking.
"A day and a night."
"Powerful!"
Lu Changsheng could not help answering in his heart.
He had spent this period studying the Pill Compendium. For pills with enhancement effects like this, lasting One Incense Stick's Time was already decent; lasting an hour was excellent; lasting an entire day was simply incredible.
One had to know that battles between cultivators were usually settled quickly. This was not turn-based—you throw a punch at me, I throw one at you, then see who had more health and who was more agile.
One Incense Stick's Time was usually enough to settle things, yet this pill lasted a full day and night. If he ran into trouble later and swallowed one of these Vajra Power Pills, would he not transform into an absolute beast?
Remarkable, truly remarkable!
I really am a genius.
Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly.
A wave of joy instantly washed over him. At last, he had found a skill he was good at.
At last, he was no longer useless.
"Does it have any side effects?"
Lu Changsheng continued asking.
"There do not seem to be any side effects for now. If I had to name one, it would be that your appetite grows much larger. Normally, one bowl of rice is enough, but after taking this pill, even ten bowls in a meal would not feel like enough."
Li Chun answered.
A bigger appetite?
That was not much of a problem. The Great Luo Holy Land had vast resources—what did a few extra meals matter?
"Good! Very good! Excellent."
Lu Changsheng smiled. He helped Li Chun to his feet, then said, "How many pills did you refine?"
"Limited by the materials, this Junior Brother only refined three. I took one, one is in Senior Brother's hand, and the last one is at this Junior Brother's home."
Being helped up by Lu Changsheng, Li Chun looked flattered beyond measure as he answered honestly.
"Limited materials?" Without another thought, Lu Changsheng took out his Eldest Senior Brother token and handed it to Li Chun. "Take this token to the Pill Hall and collect medicinal ingredients. Refine another batch of pills as quickly as possible. Senior Brother has an important use for them."
That was what Lu Changsheng said.
Li Chun nodded, then asked, "Senior Brother, what should this pill be called?"
He asked.
"Uh..." Lu Changsheng thought seriously. His first pill formula had to be something distinctive. What should it be called?
"Senior Brother, this Junior Brother has a name in mind. It is very fitting."
Seeing Lu Changsheng deep in thought, Li Chun could not help speaking up.
"Tell me."
"Senior Brother, how about calling it the Vajra Power Pill? What do you think?"
Lu Changsheng: "..."
What kind of lousy name was that?
Vajra Power Pill?
Did it have even the slightest air of immortality about it?
Lu Changsheng was utterly speechless. In the three years since he had transmigrated into this immortal cultivation world, he had discovered that the people here were extremely simplistic when it came to naming things.
For example, Great Luo's highest-grade cultivation method was called the Great Luo True Art, while a slightly lower-grade one was called the Great Luo Low-Grade True Art. If it was a wood-element cultivation method, it was called the Great Luo Wood-Element True Art.
There was not the slightest bit of immortal grandeur to them.
But that made sense. Most cultivators began cultivating from childhood—how many of them seriously studied? After all, this was a world ruled by cultivators, not one ruled by scholars.
"Forget that name. Let's call it the Vajra Glazed Pill."
Lu Changsheng came up with a rather good name.
"Vajra Glazed Pill! Senior Brother truly possesses extraordinary wisdom. Just changing the name makes this pill feel completely different!"
Li Chun praised him from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Changsheng lowered his voice. "Junior Brother Li, go back and refine pills properly. Also, do not announce that this was Senior Brother's idea yet. If anyone notices, just say you figured it out yourself, understand?"
Lu Changsheng spoke very seriously.
It was not that he did not want to show off. It was simply that this pill had not yet been tested. If it truly had some side effect, would that not be awkward?
As he had said before—
If the pill truly was excellent, he still had so many pill formulas. He would not lack chances to make a name for himself.
But if the pill had side effects?
Junior Brother Li, pill refinement is no child's game. Do not act recklessly. Be more careful next time. Though you may escape the death penalty, you cannot escape punishment. Punishment Hall, do me a favor and do not use torture—use love to reform him.
Lu Changsheng had already thought through every escape route.
In short, nothing would stick to him.
There would be plenty of time in the days ahead—why fear there would be no chance to show off?
"Alright! Is there anything else you'd like to tell me, Senior Brother?"
Li Chun asked.
"No." Lu Changsheng replied calmly.
"Alright then. Once I've refined the pills, I'll come find you again, Senior Brother. No matter what, thank you for teaching me the method."
Li Chun kowtowed three times on the ground, then left in high spirits.
Though he had no idea what Lu Changsheng needed so many pills for.
Li Chun firmly believed that since Senior Brother was doing this, he must have his reasons.
At that moment, Lu Changsheng could not help turning his gaze toward the people atop the mountain.
On the mountaintop.
Liu Qingfeng suddenly felt a strange flutter of unease in his chest. He felt somewhat uncomfortable, and when he looked at the others, they all seemed to feel the same way.
"Could it be that there won't be any food today?"
Liu Qingfeng pondered seriously.
