Chapter 17 Entering the Qingyuan Sect, Establishing Momentum
When Peng Dashan, who was in the side room, heard Li Sui say that he wanted to recruit Lin Zhou, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
Given Lin Zhou's talent, it's not surprising that Sect Master Li was interested in him.
"Your subordinate is willing to join the Qingyuan Sect!"
Lin Zhou agreed without any hesitation.
"Haha, great!"
"Chief Peng, you have nurtured a remarkable genius for the Qingyuan Sect. This year, the sect can allocate one Spirit Blood Pill to the Medicine King Gang."
Li Sui smiled and nodded, then looked at Peng Dashan beside him and spoke calmly.
"Spirit Blood Pill!!"
Upon hearing this, Peng Dashan's eyes lit up.
This is a real bargain!
Only highly experienced senior pharmacists can refine the Spirit Blood Pill. The process is complex and requires the assistance of a certain spiritual or physical substance.
It is an extremely rare elixir controlled by the Qingyuan Sect. This elixir can help cultivators who have opened their meridians to save their lives when they attempt to break through to the Qi Master level.
When an ordinary martial artist reaches the peak of the Meridian Opening stage, attempting to break through to the Qi Master level is extremely risky. If the attempt fails, the internal Qi will become chaotic, easily leading to severed meridians.
However, with this Spirit Blood Pill, even if one fails to break through to a higher realm, one can still preserve one's meridians.
There is still a chance for a second attempt.
This is one of the elixirs that Peng Dashan needs.
This surprise came unexpectedly.
Fortunately, I had treated Lin Zhou fairly well before.
Liang Jingchun must be treated well.
"We'll have to investigate thoroughly later to see who Lin Zhou is close to within the gang."
At this moment, Peng Dashan's mind started to work. He knew very well that with Lin Zhou's talent, being valued by this Sect Master Li of Qingyuan Sect meant that his future achievements might not be as simple as just becoming a high-level pharmacist.
Although Sect Leader Li was only one of the many deputy sect leaders of Qingyuan Sect, he still wielded considerable power and was considered a prominent figure in Taihu County.
"Peng Dashan, once Lin Zhou has packed up his belongings with your gang, send him to Qingyuan Sect."
Li then gave the order.
"Yes, Sect Master, I will remember."
Peng Dashan said respectfully.
"This is my token. Keep it safe. Once you arrive at the Qingyuan Sect and show the token, someone from the Qingyuan Sect will escort you to my courtyard."
Li Sui took out an ancient-looking jade token, handed it to Lin Zhou, and then left the place with the bloodworm corpse.
After Li Sui left.
When Peng Dashan looked at Lin Zhou, a smile appeared on his face.
"Congratulations, young friend Lin, on your advancement to the Qingyuan Sect."
"On behalf of our guild, I support you with 1,000 contribution points."
"These contribution points can be exchanged for what Lin Xiaoyou needs as soon as possible."
Peng Dashan spoke in a very magnanimous manner.
He knew that if Lin Zhou were to achieve great success in the future, the good karma he had cultivated today would surely be of great use.
"Thank you for your support, Chief. Lin Zhou will never forget it."
"If you ever need Lin Zhou's help in the future, please ask as soon as possible, Chief."
Lin Zhou responded with a polite fist salute.
Lin Zhou knew that Li Sui was a deputy sect leader in the Qingyuan Sect, and the factional struggles among the other deputy sect leaders and other sects were probably even more intense than those within the Medicine King Gang.
We must quickly exchange the contribution points given by Chief Peng for the items he needs.
What Lin Zhou lacks most right now is the precious medicine needed for the mid-stage of Skin Refining.
They left the gang leader's courtyard.
Lin Zhou, clutching the contribution point tokens given to him by Peng Dashan, headed straight for the Medicine King Gang's exchange hall.
Exchange Hall.
It is located in the deepest courtyard within the guild, surrounded by numerous guards. It is a place of great importance to the guild, as the exchange hall contains a wide variety of herbs, weapons, and other valuables.
There were quite a few people coming and going in the hall. Many people, seeing that Lin Zhou was so young and dressed in the attire of a mid-level pharmacist, showed respect in their eyes and made way for him.
"Exchange for pills and medicine packs that can be used by those at the mid-stage of Skin Refining and above."
Lin Zhou got straight to the point.
"Pharmacist, please wait a moment, I'll get it right away."
Upon seeing Lin Zhou, the old man at the counter showed respect in his eyes and spoke.
He then produced a list for Lin Zhou to choose from.
Qi and Blood Pill, 10 contribution points.
Body Tempering Pill, eight contribution points.
Herbal Elixir, 8 contribution points.
Qingling Medicine Pack, 10 contribution points.
There are only three types of pills in total, and only one type of medicine packet.
The Qi and Blood Pill is the most effective, and it is the main pill that martial artists in the mid-stage of Skin Refining take to improve their realm.
It even has some effect in the later stages of skin refining.
After glancing at the Body Tempering Pill and the Herbal Spirit Pill, I realized that these two pills were inferior.
The price is much higher than what I used before.
The pills and medicine packets required for each realm are vastly different.
"Two hundred Qi and Blood Pills, two hundred Qingling Medicine Packets."
After Lin Zhou finished speaking, he handed the token containing four thousand contribution points to the person at the counter.
"This…"
The middle-aged man at the counter paused for a moment in surprise, then hurriedly turned around to prepare the medicine.
A moment later.
Lin Zhou left the exchange hall carrying a bulging cloth bag, attracting a lot of attention along the way.
"With these pills, I won't have to worry about the pills needed to cultivate to the late stage of Skin Refining."
Lin Zhou pondered this in his heart.
Although he possesses amazing talent, his own strength is still somewhat lacking. Even if he advances in the path of the pharmacist, his strength is insufficient. If he encounters an unreasonable martial artist, wouldn't he be killed with a single punch?
Without absolute strength, one truly feels insecure in such a chaotic world.
Especially when he thought about the strange bloodworm disease he had seen today, Lin Zhou's desire for strength became even stronger.
This world is probably much more complex than I thought.
It was evening.
Liang Jingchun hurriedly returned to his residence.
He was carrying several bags and gift boxes, and even his clothes had been changed into a brand new black outfit made of very high-quality fabric.
After returning to the courtyard.
Lin Zhou had been waiting for a while, and the main room was filled with food.
When Liang Jingchun saw Lin Zhou's intermediate-level pharmacist robes with his own eyes, he was somewhat prepared, even though the young gang leader had told him before.
But witnessing it with my own eyes now still leaves me deeply shocked.
In less than two months.
He had grown from a skinny, monkey-like disaster victim into the strong and heroic young man before us, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, wearing a pharmacist's robe, and possessing an air of refined elegance.
"Xiao Zhou, you really became an intermediate-level pharmacist, and were even recruited into the Qingyuan Sect by Sect Master Li?"
Liang Jingchun could hardly believe it; it all felt like a dream.
He was originally patrolling Anhe Street, but was taken away by Peng Rusong, the young gang leader who came in person. Peng Rusong was extremely polite to him along the way, which made Liang Jingchun look puzzled.
Even after Peng Rusong revealed Lin Zhou's situation, he remained somewhat dazed.
"Thank you so much for your guidance, teacher!"
Lin Zhou stood up and respectfully greeted the disciple.
"Come, sit down."
"You earned all of this yourself, Xiao Zhou."
"Let's have a good drink together today, master and apprentice."
"Once you reach Qingyuan Sect, you'll have to rely on your own hard work."
Liang Jingchun was filled with emotion.
I never expected that my disciple would gain power so quickly.
It also helped him out of a predicament.
Looking at the dashing young man before him, Liang Jingchun felt a complex mix of emotions.
