Distributing Pills!

Great Bamboo Peak.

Shou Jing Hall.

"One Foundation Replenishing Pill is equivalent to five years of arduous cultivation."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Within Shou Jing Hall, one could hear a pin drop.

Even the air seemed to freeze.

Immediately following.

A series of heavy breaths, rising and falling.

Five years!

That was a full five years!

Cultivation transcends time, a phrase spoken lightly.

But for those with mediocre talent, five years could often be an insurmountable chasm.

Great Bamboo Peak had few disciples, why?

It was precisely because finding suitable talent was difficult and cultivation was too arduous.

Before Ye Xuan joined Great Bamboo Peak.

Aside from Eldest Brother Song Daren and Fourth Brother He Dazhi.

The remaining disciples were all stuck at the third level of the Yuqing Realm.

Now.

Someone tells them.

That by simply swallowing this fingernail-sized pill, they could save thousands of days and nights of hard work.

Who could remain calm?

Who wouldn't go mad?

"Gulp."

Someone's Adam's apple bobbed.

The sound of swallowing saliva seemed exceptionally loud.

Even Tian Buyi, who usually put on the airs of a Master, unconsciously gripped the back of his chair with his chubby hand at this moment.

His knuckles turned white.

Wood shavings fell down in a shower.

He stared at the jade bottle in Ye Xuan's hand, his eyeballs almost popping out.

If it were anyone else saying this.

Tian Buyi would have slapped them long ago, cursing them for betraying their master and deceiving the masses.

But Ye Xuan was different.

This kid possessed the Innate Dao Body.

He was a freak that heaven itself was chasing to feed.

If he said he had inherited knowledge from a senior, it was most likely true.

If he said the Foundation Replenishing Pill could replace five years of hard cultivation, it was certainly not an empty boast.

"Seventh Brother..."

Tian Ling'er was the first to react.

She, who had disdainfully pushed Ye Xuan's arm away moments ago, now flashed forward, bringing a gust of fragrant breeze with her.

"Thwack!"

The girl, like a koala, clung tightly to Ye Xuan once more.

"Good Senior Brother!"

"Seventh Senior Brother is the best!"

"I was wrong just now, I shouldn't have pushed your hand away."

"Can you let your little sister have a taste of that Foundation Replenishing Pill?"

"I'll just try one!"

"From now on, if you tell me to go east, I'll never go west!"

Tian Ling'er's large, clear eyes were full of flattery.

She shook Ye Xuan's arm, her voice sickeningly sweet.

Her change of heart was astonishingly rapid.

Ye Xuan felt a soft touch on his arm.

This girl.

She'd throw all her principles away for a pill.

Just now she was yelling about fighting and killing, and now she's calling me "Good Senior Brother".

Reality.

It's just too real.

Ye Xuan calmly pulled his arm out halfway, a slight smile curving his lips.

"Who was it just now that called me a liar?"

"Who?"

Tian Ling'er's eyebrows shot up, her face radiating righteous indignation. She turned to look at Du Bishu and the others.

"Who dares say Seventh Senior Brother is a liar?"

"They're simply blind!"

"Seventh Senior Brother has the Innate Dao Body, he's the pride of Great Bamboo Peak!"

Everyone: "..."

Du Bishu's mouth twitched.

This is too shameless.

You were the one who said it just now!

But.

That's not the point right now.

"Seventh..."

"Look, Sixth Senior Brother has always treated you well, right?"

"Do you remember? I even bought you candied hawthorn before."

"This pill..."

"Could you spare one for your Senior Brother?"

"Not many, just one!"

Du Bishu rubbed his hands together and leaned in with a fawning expression.

His hands, which usually only gambled, were now trembling as he reached out to Ye Xuan.

Even the honest and kind Song Daren's face was flushed red.

As the Eldest Senior Brother, he should have maintained his dignity.

But he had been stuck at the fifth level of the Yuqing Realm for quite some time.

If he could gain five years of cultivation...

He might be able to touch the threshold of the sixth level!

That would be a qualitative leap!

Song Daren opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but felt too embarrassed. He was so flustered he was sweating profusely.

Ye Xuan looked at their eager eyes and chuckled inwardly.

Foundation Replenishing Pills were just low-tier pills.

Ye Xuan had refined quite a few when he was on Tianyuan Mountain.

Moreover.

Now that Ye Xuan had entered the Shangqing Realm.

He no longer cared for Foundation Replenishing Pills.

But for these Senior Brothers, Foundation Replenishing Pills were truly divine medicines that could change their fate.

"Alright."

Ye Xuan stopped playing coy.

With a flip of his wrist.

Several exquisite small jade bottles appeared in his palm.

The moment the stoppers were removed.

A rich medicinal fragrance instantly filled Shou Jing Hall.

Just one whiff.

Everyone felt their spiritual energy surge, as if a parched riverbed had finally received a blessed rain.

"Hiss~"

"Smells amazing!"

Lin Jingyu sniffed the air.

His eyes lit up, and he stared intently at Ye Xuan.

Even the dull Zhang Xiaofan showed a hint of longing in his eyes.

"Here."

"One each."

Ye Xuan tossed them casually.

Several streams of light streaked through the air.

They landed accurately in Tian Ling'er's and the other senior disciples' hands.

As for Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan?

The two youngsters hadn't started cultivating yet.

It wouldn't be too late to give them some once they started.

"That's great."

"Seventh, thanks."

"Well done, Seventh."

Everyone treated the pills like treasures.

One by one, they held the jade bottles as if they were holding their own lives.

Especially Tian Ling'er.

She couldn't wait to open the jade bottle.

"Wait!"

Tian Buyi suddenly shouted.

Everyone was startled.

Tian Buyi walked up to them with a stern face, hands behind his back.

"Pills are good, but it depends on how you eat them."

"You few, your cultivation is still shallow."

"If you swallow them just like that, the immense medicinal power won't be properly absorbed, and you might burst your meridians!"

Although Tian Buyi was usually strict.

He was extremely concerned about his disciples' safety.

"Seventh."

"Are these pills really as miraculous as you say?"

Afterward.

Tian Buyi looked at Ye Xuan and asked with a complex expression.

"If Master doesn't believe me, you can take one to study."

"I still have some anyway."

Ye Xuan shrugged, saying nonchalantly.

The Low-tier Alchemy Mastery rewarded by the System surpassed the alchemy system of the Zhu Xian World.

Pills like the Foundation Replenishing Pill were indeed a dimensional attack against the Zhu Xian World.

It wasn't strange for Tian Buyi to be suspicious.

There were more?

Tian Buyi's plump face twitched.

This prodigal son.

He spoke of such divine pills as if they were common cabbage.

However.

For his disciples' safety.

Tian Buyi still reached out and took the pill from Song Daren's hand.

He brought the pill to his nose to sniff, then infused a trace of spiritual energy to examine it.

A moment later.

Tian Buyi's expression changed.

From solemnity, to shock, then to ecstasy.

Finally, it turned into disbelief.

"The medicinal properties are mild, the spiritual energy pure..."

"And, there's absolutely no pill toxicity or impurities?"

"How is this possible?"

Every pill has some toxicity.

Even his own Dahuang Pill couldn't escape this iron rule.

But this Foundation Replenishing Pill.

It was as pure as the first fresh snow of early winter.

Perfect and flawless.

Tian Buyi stuffed the pill back into Song Daren's hand and took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil within him.

He looked deeply at Ye Xuan.

This disciple.

It seemed the secrets he held were greater than Tian Buyi had imagined.

However.

Everyone has their own destiny.

As a Master, he shouldn't ask too many questions.

As long as his heart remained with Great Bamboo Peak, it was Great Bamboo Peak's good fortune.
