Samsara Valley
To improve their True Qi level, martial artists need to not only learn internal energy cultivation True Qi but also consume elixirs made from Earth Spirit Root.
This True Gathering Pill is the fastest way to boost True Qi. The main ingredient needed to refine the True Gathering Pill is the True Gathering Grass.
The longer the True Gathering Grass is aged, the stronger its medicinal properties become. True Gathering Grass is cultivated in the herb gardens of various sects.
However, there are very few of these century-old True Gathering Grass left.
As for the deep mountains and old forests, it is true that there are True Gathering Grass, but let alone True Gathering Grass True Gathering Grass is over a hundred years old, there are very few even that are over ten years old.
Although Sun Ruoya does not have Martial Meridians, she is only fourteen years old this year and has already reached the Peak Martial Attendant cultivation level.
Without the Hundred-Year True Gathering Pill, there was no way she could have reached the Early-Stage Martial Warrior cultivation before the age of sixteen.
Extremes beget their opposites; although he lacks Martial Meridians, his cultivation is extremely slow.
However, if a martial artist without Martial Meridians can refine a Hundred-Year True Gathering Pill between the ages of thirteen and fifteen, their cultivation speed in the future can be comparable to that of a martial artist with three Martial Meridians.
Sun Haotian, the leader of the Diancang Sect, spent a full ten years searching for a single Hundred-Year True Gathering Pill.
Now that Sun Ruoya possesses this Hundred-Year True Gathering Pill, her cultivation path is bright.
"Congratulations, Junior Sister Sun! With this Hundred-Year True Gathering Pill, you will definitely become Initial-Stage Martial Warrior within a year..."
No, he will become Mid-Stage Martial Warrior...
"The most difficult part is transforming from Martial Attendant into Martial Warrior. I'm sure your cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds in the future," Shen Wenjing said sourly.
If he obtains this Hundred-Year True Gathering Pill, he will become Late-Stage Martial Master within three days.
Tang Tianshu could only sigh as he watched.
This century-old True Gathering Pill was given to me by my deceased master.
Although he is now Peak Martial Warrior, he belongs to a Martial Meridians.
The old Daoist was right. Even if he refined this Hundred-Year True Gathering Pill, it would still take him more than five years to become Early-Stage Martial Master.
Improving one's cultivation level would be good, but what I urgently need now is to join the Diancang Sect.
With his own cultivation and talent, who would take him in if he didn't show some real sincerity?
Moreover, giving the True Gathering Pill to Sun Ruoya can be considered as currying favor with the second-generation sect leader.
There is gain in loss.
To fish, you need to use bait...
"Although I am two years younger than Tang Tianshu, he has always called me 'senior sister,' so I will not refuse and will become his senior sister."
As a senior, I should also take care of my junior.
This herb garden is quite secluded and rich in True Qi, making it suitable for cultivation.
The work in the herb garden isn't too strenuous, so let Tang Tianshu look after it..."Sun Ruoya stared at the True Gathering Pill in her hand, reluctant to put it down.
Just as Tang Tianshu was about to thank him, Shen Wenjing stopped him, saying, "Junior Sister Sun, this herb garden is an important place for our Diancang Sect."
Tang Tianshu had just joined the sect and was only a menial disciple; he was really unsuitable to look after the herb garden.
"If all else fails, I can work in the kitchen." Tang Tianshu said with a smile.
"You're a new disciple, it's even more inappropriate for you to go to the kitchen. What if you poison someone..." Shen Wenjing sneered.
"Then, Senior Brother Liu, what do you think we should assign him to?" Sun Ruoya was already somewhat annoyed.
Shen Wenjing smiled and said, "Junior sister, don't panic. I know that Tang Tianshu gave you a hundred-year-old True Gathering Pill, which will indeed be of great help to you. If you want to help him, I, as your senior brother, will do you a favor."
In that case, Tang Tianshu, you will continue to look after the medicinal herb garden.
It's just looking after the herb garden in the Samsara Valley behind the mountain, what do you think?
The work there is easier; you don't need to fertilize or water plants. You just need to take the disciples to pick some common medicinal herbs every month.
In this way, you will have more time to cultivate your internal energy and improve your cultivation level.
"Thank you for your kind words, Senior Brother Shen," Tang Tianshu said, bowing slightly.
Sun Ruoya frowned. "Junior Brother Tang, let me remind you, this Samsara Valley is quite remote. Don't wander around the valley at night."
I'll go get you your waist tag. Later... I'll have Senior Brother Shen take you to the herb garden on the back mountain."
Tang Tianshu, not understanding why, could only bow and thank him...
After acquiring a waist tag and clothing, Tang Tianshu was taken by Shen Wenjing to the herb garden on the back mountain.
After walking for half an hour, they reached the back mountain. Shen Wenjing pointed to a valley and said, "This is the herb garden on the back mountain!"
Tang Tianshu looked around and immediately felt refreshed and relaxed.
This is no herb garden; it's clearly a huge garden.
In the valley, all kinds of colorful wildflowers compete for beauty.
Even from hundreds of feet away, the fragrance of flowers wafted over.
"Senior Brother Shen, look at all these flowers blooming in the valley. The soil here must be fertile. Why don't you plant some medicinal herbs here?" Tang Tianshu greedily inhaled the fragrance of the flowers.
Shen Wenjing smiled. "Do you know why this place is called the Samsara Valley?"
Why is the land here fertile?
Why didn't Junior Sister Sun come to see you off?...
Tang Tianshu shook his head blankly.
"Hehe," Shen Wenjing smiled mysteriously, "A hundred years ago, the Jin Country in the north attacked our Great Chu Country."
With the help of various martial arts sects, the Emperor of Great Chu massacred 500,000 Jin Country soldiers here...
That's why the land here is fertile and a hundred flowers bloom...
Tang Tianshu curled his lip.
"Junior Brother Tang, I heard that at night, the wind blowing through this valley sounded like the wailing of half a million surrendered soldiers..."
You wouldn't be too scared to stay here, would you...?
"No, no, I used to follow a wandering Daoist priest and did many rituals. I'm used to seeing dead people and hearing wails..."
Tang Tianshu looked relaxed.
"That's good. If we don't mention the war a hundred years ago, this place is indeed quite secluded and suitable for cultivation."
Alright, you can study and practice diligently here. If you need any Cultivation Method manuals, you can borrow them from the sect's library.
However, if your cultivation level is too low, you won't be able to complete some of the sect's tasks, and therefore you won't receive any silver.
I suggest you learn some Pill Refining Technique. Although there aren't many high-grade medicinal herbs in this Samsara Valley...
"But there are also some common herbs that can be used to refine into elixirs that promote longevity and improve health," Shen Wenjing reminded him.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Liu. I also studied Pill Refining Technique under my former master..." Tang Tianshu said, bowing.
"That's good, that's good..." Shen Wenjing nodded.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, he suddenly turned back and asked in a low voice.
"Now that we're all from the same sect, we should help each other."
My father is an elder within the sect. If you encounter any trouble, just ask me.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Liu," Tang Tianshu said, bowing slightly.
Shen Wenjing waved his hand, "It's my duty, it's my duty..."
Junior Brother Tang, I'm currently facing a bottleneck in my cultivation... I wonder if you still have any of those Hundred-Year True Gathering Pill left?"
"Senior Brother Shen, this Hundred-Year True Gathering Pill is extremely rare and hard to come by."
I really only have one Hundred-Year True Gathering Pill. If I had more, I would definitely eat them myself.
"The reason I kept this Hundred-Year True Gathering Pill is to offer it to our Diancang Sect in exchange for a qualification to join the sect," Tang Tianshu said sincerely.
"That's right, that's right. Then I won't disturb your cultivation any longer, Junior Brother." Shen Wenjing smiled mysteriously, turned around and left...
