Qilin Great Pill

Ke Wenbin stared at the two shipping containers in front of him, his face showing an indescribable distress.

Treasure Vault!

Such a huge Treasure Vault! Treasure Plant and precious medicines, yet there's only enough for two mere containers! "I was so stupid, so incredibly stupid! I only knew that the Ghost Mother Sect was facing a food shortage, but I didn't realize it was this severe."

Liang Qu also felt a sense of disappointment.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense.

Not everyone is like him, treating the water like home.

The underwater world is vast and treacherous, not an easy place to navigate.

This small island is home to two Grandmaster, two Great Martial Master, dozens of Wolf Smoke Martial Master, hundreds of Galloping Horse Martial Master, and thousands of those below the fourth level.

Even if Treasure Plant and Baodan are like cabbages, planted once a year and harvested every three months, there still isn't enough land on the island to grow enough cabbage leaves for everyone to eat.

Without sufficient logistical support, relying on past legacies to live off past wealth, they have managed to survive for over sixty years and still have two shipping containers of inventory...

I don't know whether to say that they brought out a lot of treasures back then, or that they were just frugal.

"Something is better than nothing. Let's pick one. It's best if there's no controversy. If there is, we'll talk about it later."

Xiang Fangsu left a message, and everyone began to choose their favorite items.

Each container had about 120 compartments, and they were almost full. Every single item was of much better quality than the ones in the previous yard and room.

In addition to the Treasure Plant and elixirs, the compartments also contain various descriptions, effects, storage periods, and so on, with some even indicating their origin.

Even the most knowledgeable person with a prodigious memory could not possibly recognize all the treasures in the world, but it would make it convenient for the few people present to take what they needed.

Liang Qu made a note of all the cabinets he had rummaged through, focusing on remembering the few Bao Dan and Treasure Plant he wanted.

The treasures that suit him are divided into three categories according to their importance.

First, there are Treasure Plant that can absorb the Marsh Essence; second, there are treasures with Similar Yet Dissimilar characteristics that can enhance the Dragon Tiger Golden Body; and third, there are those that can normally improve cultivation or have other wondrous uses.

If the first two can be combined, that would be the best.

I checked them one by one.

"Nine Yang True Pill".

"The Great Reviving Pill".

"The Heaven and Earth Spirit Mushroom Flower"

"Earth Crystal Clear Grass".

"Qilin Pill".

"The Golden Pill Sublimation Elixir".

"The Three Yuan Great Pill: Heaven, Earth, and Man..."

Liang Qu looked at the Three Yuan Great Pill in his hand, a renowned elixir.

It is said that it can consolidate essence, increase potential, eliminate hidden physical ailments, and possess hidden power. One low-grade Human Pill is equivalent to an ordinary person using a mid-level cultivation Cultivation Method, increasing Qi and Blood circulation by sixty years and becoming extremely powerful.

Unfortunately, of the Three Yuan Great Pill currently available, only the Human Pill remains, while the two bottles containing the heaven and earth are empty, clearly having already been used up.

"The Qilin Pill is not bad either."

Liang Qu opened the bottle stopper, revealing a pill the size of a human eye, as red as blood, covered with cloud patterns and wrinkles, resembling a smooth, shiny lion's head walnut, with a ferocious beast faintly visible in the shadows.

According to the paper next to it, the Qilin Pill can enhance the potential of the physical body, helping those with half- Martial Bone or Innate Martial Bone to advance further, and generating Qilin Bright Spirit Force through the friction between bones and flesh.

The effect is similar to the resounding of muscles and bones, or the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound; it is more of a training and growth-oriented activity.

The Qilin Bright Spirit Force is superior to the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound. Not only is its strength greater, but it can also subtly cleanse the marrow and prolong life! Who would complain about having a longer lifespan? Among the treasures I had previously considered, the Qilin Pill has jumped to the top spot, temporarily becoming number one.

Below the paper listing the efficacy of the elixir and the specific method of administration, Liang Qu also saw three names.

Huang Jinyuan, Huang Zejun, Huang Zeming.

Huang Zejun's name was crossed out, while Huang Zeming's name had a small checkmark next to it.

Huang Jinyuan's name was the most special; it was circled in Cinnabar Pen with a small annotation next to it. "It is acceptable."

The Ghost Mother Sect also has its own quotas.

However, the elixir is excellent; it's mine now.

Liang Qu picked up the medicine bottle and continued flipping through the drawers until he finally found his second favorite item in drawer number thirty-six of another container.

"Wither-Bloom Twin Lotus."

Two lotus flowers bloom on the same stem.

One of them grew extremely lushly, its bright colors like a young girl's skin, even more vibrant than the lotus flowers in Master Yang's courtyard during the hottest days of summer.

The other plant showed the complete opposite trend, with its entire body turning yellow and dark, wrinkled, and the inside of its petals even turning black. However, it seemed to lack vitality, yet showed no signs of withering.

Another Treasure Plant with Similar Yet Dissimilar characteristics in aquatic life.

Even though the Ghost Mother Sect has long resided in the Great Marsh, less than one-fifth of its more than two hundred treasures are aquatic.

Of the one-fifth of them, there are Similar Yet Dissimilar characteristics. Liang Qu has seen only this one so far.

Now that things had come to this, he had already made his choice. He looked through the text again and, sure enough, found nothing else.

Without the aid of precious medicines, the Dragon Tiger Golden Body is truly difficult to cultivate.

Without that Two Lives Flower of water and fire back then, he reckoned he wouldn't even have entered the realm of cultivation, let alone have his current opportunities. Therefore, the Dragon Tiger Golden Body was of very high priority in Liang Qu's mind.

"The Qilin Pill, the Wither-Bloom Twin Lotus."

"Golden Phoenix Feather Grass, Divine Deer Sand".

"Phoenix Wing Sky Pill, Enlightenment Paste".

Xiang Fangsu looked at the two treasures in Ke Wenbin's hands in surprise and asked, "Huh? You don't want those clothes anymore?"

"There will be imperial rewards after this is all done. I'll think of a way to get them then. Not many people want the women's version, and the precious medicine is a bit difficult to obtain."

Xiang Fangsu nodded. The two items were at different levels of difficulty in the competition.

A wise move.

After comparing the items, there was no dispute about what each person had taken.

There are over two hundred Treasure Plant and herbs, all of very high quality, the kind of treasures that require Great Merit to obtain in the River Conservancy Office.

With so many choices, it's not easy to create controversy.

Having found their favorite treasures, the three carefully put them away. After browsing around again, they returned to the third hall and chose a fine gold item for Ran Zhongshi's sister, Ran Ying.

The underground space has other exits, which should connect to the residences of other Great Martial Master or Grandmaster on the island.

The three of them didn't go out through those exits. They had already obtained the items and didn't need to cause any more trouble. They could simply return the way they came. Who knew if there might be some other strange things outside those passages?

They extinguished the oil lamp and returned in their original formation.

Reaching the bottom of the stone slab, Xiang Fangsu extinguished the torch, quietly braced his hands against the slab, and lifted it open with a small gap.

Scattered moonlight filtered in through the cracks, illuminating my eyes.

Xiang Fangsu rolled her eyes, scanning the gap before secretly covering the stone slab again.

"What's going on? Why aren't you going out?"

Ke Wenbin pointed upwards and asked in a low voice.

"The door opened."

Xiang Fangsu looked solemn.

Ke Wenbin was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening.

Liang Qu recalled that, if he remembered correctly, after the three of them entered the room, Xiang Fangsu, who was the last to enter, closed the door.
