Grand Pure Daoist Venerable: Do I Know How to Make Pills?

"Hey, don't rush. I'm not done talking yet!"

Li Changsheng shook his head, smiling at the handsome youth before him.

"You tricked me?"

Already somewhat angry, Wang Dong's fury was reignited when he saw this.

He was the dignified Young Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect and possessed Twin Martial Souls, yet one day, he had been led around like a dog by some commoner boy. It was infuriating.

If he had not been unable to beat Li Changsheng, he would have long since shown him why flowers bloomed so red.

"Why would I trick you? I never trick anyone!"

Li Changsheng said righteously, "I don't recall ever saying that I'd give you the Soul Ascension Pill as long as you agreed to this bet."

"Then what exactly do you want?"

Wang Dong clenched his fists. Thinking it over carefully, Li Changsheng indeed seemed never to have said that, but did it really need to be said? Wasn't that how these things worked?

Fine, I'll endure it. I've come this far already. If I give up now, wouldn't that be a complete loss?

"Look at you, getting impatient again!"

Li Changsheng spread his hands and said, "You know my current living conditions, and you also know the value of a Soul Ascension Pill. So I believe you understand what I mean."

"Oh, you mean you want me to give you some money, right?"

Wang Dong was clever, so he understood the other person's meaning almost instantly.

"Mhm. I'm sure this condition should be easy enough for a noble like you," Li Changsheng said with a nod.

"Easy enough, but I have a condition too!"

Wang Dong did not refuse. Instead, he stated his demand. "If you get any more precious pills like this in the future, you must tell me first and ask whether I want them or want to buy them. How about it?"

Even if he could not use them himself, he could bring them back to the Clear Sky Sect. He had never worried about money, after all. Whether ten thousand years ago or now, the Clear Sky Sect was known as the number one sect in the world.

Since it was the number one sect in the world, aside from pills, what could they possibly lack?

"Sure, no problem!"

Li Changsheng did not even need to think about that request before agreeing immediately.

"Though the Soul Ascension Pill is extraordinarily valuable, since we had a bet beforehand, I intend to give you thirty thousand Gold Soul Coins. What do you think?"

After saying that, Wang Dong took out a Golden Soul Card.

"For the sake of us being roommates, it's no big deal if I take a little loss!"

Li Changsheng said with a smile. Then the two exchanged money and pill, one hand to the other.

After obtaining the pill, Wang Dong did not hesitate. He returned directly to his bed and began absorbing it.

"Little Changsheng, I know your family circumstances aren't great, but surely you don't need to sell pills for money, right?"

At that moment, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's puzzled voice rang out in his mind.

Although it was the first time it had seen a Soul Ascension Pill, it knew how precious and rare it was. After all, the person who had brought out this item was one of the higher-ups of the Continent's Number One Academy, Shrek Academy.

How could someone like that possibly take out worthless junk? Wouldn't that be slapping their own face?

"What's the big deal? You don't really think this is something good, do you?"

Faced with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's confusion, Li Changsheng merely smiled calmly and said indifferently, "You need to understand that taking too many pills isn't good either. Not to mention, the person who made them has quite limited skill."

"Limited skill? You say that as if you know how to make them yourself!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm rolled its eyes dramatically, speaking with utter disdain and speechlessness. "Come on, can you stop being so picky? You should be grateful there's something to eat at all."

"I might not know how, but that doesn't mean nobody else does!"

Li Changsheng said meaningfully.

"Someone else does?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm froze for a moment, then suddenly understood. Tentatively, it asked, "You mean that old man knows how?"

"Of course."

Li Changsheng nodded in confirmation. "When it comes to pill-making, if he says he's second, no one would dare call themselves first."

"Really?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was clearly doubtful. Before long, it turned its head toward the white-haired old man in the distance, who wore a yin-yang Daoist robe and was currently sitting on the ground with his eyes closed. "Senior, do you know how to make pills?"

"Make pills? Do I... know how to make pills?"

Upon hearing that, Morality Heavenly Venerate slowly opened his eyes. His serene face was now filled with bewilderment.

After living for so many years, it was the first time anyone had asked whether he knew how to make pills.

"Though this poor Daoist cannot refine the Soul Ascension Pill you speak of, turning you into a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill would be no problem at all." Morality Heavenly Venerate smiled faintly, his tone calm and indifferent.

"No, no, no! I don't want to become some Nine Revolutions Golden Pill!"

Though it had no idea what the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill mentioned by the other party looked like or what abilities it possessed, one thing was certain: once it became a pill, the fate awaiting it would be to be eaten.

Early the next morning, Li Changsheng and Wang Dong were preparing to head to class.

However, as they stepped out of the dormitory, they saw an old man who was not particularly tall but had bright, piercing eyes.

"Child, come here. I have something to ask you!"

This person was Mu En.

"Old sir, how about we wait until school lets out this afternoon?"

Although he had long known the other party's identity, he could only pretend to know nothing right now.

"No need. I'll send someone to speak with your teacher. Just come with me!"

After replying, Mu En did not care whether Li Changsheng agreed. He turned around and headed outside.

"Li Changsheng, what's with this guy? Isn't he the dorm caretaker, specifically responsible for watching over the dorms? Why does he seem to have such an impressive background?" Wang Dong asked in confusion.

"Who knows? Maybe he has nothing better to do and is just putting on an act here!"

Li Changsheng chuckled. "All right, that's it. I'll go take a look. It just so happens I can skip a day of class."

After saying that, he followed Mu En under Wang Dong's watchful gaze.

"What a strange pair!"

Wang Dong muttered, then went to class alone.

As for the news of Li Changsheng taking leave, Zhou Yi, the homeroom teacher, had received it long ago.

What shocked and bewildered her, however, was that the person requesting this leave was not Li Changsheng himself, nor Jiang Nannan, nor even Jiang Nannan's mother, but Shrek Academy's strongest person—the Dragon God Douluo Mu En, who possessed Level 99 Soul Power!
