Chapter 61: Bestowing Treasure
This time, Dragon Mountain Daoist went down the mountain and killed several Gang Yuan Realm experts, so the spoils of war he obtained were naturally not few.
Even Ning Qi rarely showed a look of anticipation.
That day, the Iron Ridge Three Fiends launched a night raid, leaving only the Flying Eagle, from which he obtained a Overlord Tiger True Intent Diagram that benefited him greatly, but not getting the other two True Intent Diagrams had always been a regret for him.
But this time, Dragon Mountain Daoist chased all the way to Cangzhou and slaughtered the remaining two fiends.
Perhaps this time there was a chance to gather all three True Intent Diagrams.
Dragon Mountain Daoist saw the disciples’ expressions and couldn’t help but smile.
He didn’t keep them in suspense, waving his hand, and the golden redwood wooden box immediately landed in front of the disciples, causing everyone’s eyes to light up and their hearts to race.
The news that the Wang Clan was using a Condensing Gang Pill as a compensatory gift had naturally also reached True Martial Mountain.
The wooden box opened, and a black pill the size of a dragon’s eye fell into everyone’s view.
Its color was crystalline and carried a strange fragrance, making people subconsciously swallow their saliva.
“This is a Condensing Gang Pill; I assume you all know its effects.” Dragon Mountain Daoist’s expression was calm; he had already decided in his heart who to give it to.
The disciples’ eyes showed some eagerness, then Luo Wentian stepped forward, a flash of reluctance in his eyes that quickly passed, and he said:
“Master, this disciple boldly requests that Master grant this Condensing Gang Pill to Second Junior Brother. His current cultivation has already reached the ninth layer of Inner Yuan; with the aid of the Condensing Gang Pill, there is a high probability he can break through to Gang Yuan Realm. As for the other junior brothers and sisters, their realms are still a bit lacking for now.”
Xiong Shi heard Luo Wentian’s words and immediately grew anxious.
“Senior Disciple Brother, how can you say that? Wouldn’t that shame me to death?”
“In the entire True Martial Sect, you have worked the hardest. If not for being held back by sect affairs, you would likely have already broken into Gang Yuan Realm long ago. Now with the Condensing Gang Pill available, it can perfectly make up for the time you lacked before. How could this junior brother have the face to claim this Condensing Gang Pill for himself?”
Ye Qinghe also said:
“Exactly, this Condensing Gang Pill belongs to no one but Senior Disciple Brother.”
Jiang Baishan nodded in agreement:
“Senior Disciple Brother, don’t refuse anymore. Master will hold the Heavenly Human Ceremony in a while, and as the eldest disciple of our True Martial Sect, you are our face. If you are not at Gang Yuan Realm, the people coming to observe the ceremony at True Martial Mountain beforehand will look down on us.”
At these words, everyone nodded in agreement.
Luo Wentian immediately hesitated. He had been the first to speak up and refuse precisely to set an example, so that the other junior brothers and sisters wouldn’t have any other ideas—after all, there was only one Condensing Gang Pill.
But he hadn’t expected that all the junior brothers and sisters wanted to give the Condensing Gang Pill to him.
This made him feel somewhat moved in his heart.
Dragon Mountain Daoist watched his disciples humbly yielding to each other, and his heart suddenly felt gratified. The matter with Qin Yun before had made him somewhat doubt his teaching, but now it seemed that perhaps people truly each have their own nature.
“Alright, this Condensing Gang Pill goes to Wentian. These years, you have indeed been delayed quite a bit in your cultivation due to sect affairs. As the eldest disciple of True Martial Sect, you must be able to hold the scene.”
Both emotionally and rationally, this Condensing Gang Pill should go to Luo Wentian. Everyone had seen his contributions over these years.
Although the others felt some envy in their eyes, they were still sincerely happy for Luo Wentian.
Dragon Mountain Daoist smiled and said:
“You all don’t need to feel discouraged. Although the Condensing Gang Pill is precious, in the future, as your master, I can go find a few more for you.”
The congregation quickly apologized, saying they dared not.
Only Ning Qi kept staring at the Condensing Gang Pill. He suddenly said:
“Master, may I study this Condensing Gang Pill for a bit?”
Everyone was immediately shocked and turned to look at Ning Qi in unison.
Luo Wentian was stunned for a moment, then said:
“Since Little Nine wants it, then just take it.”
Ning Qi smiled and said:
“Senior Disciple Brother, you misunderstand. I don’t want to consume the Condensing Gang Pill. I just want to see if I can reverse-engineer the Condensing Gang Pill formula from it. At that time, as long as we gather the materials ourselves, perhaps we can refine Condensing Gang Pills. That way, Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters can all have Condensing Gang Pills.”
Over these years, Ning Qi’s medical arts had progressed very quickly, and he had also delved into the Pill Way. However, the previous pills were basically all auxiliary in function, and the most important part still relied on one’s own cultivation. He didn’t want to spend too much time refining them.
But the Condensing Gang Pill was different; its effects were great, sparking his strong interest.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, almost suspecting they had misheard.
On the contrary, Dragon Mountain Daoist’s heart skipped a beat, a trace of excitement rising as he stared intently at Ning Qi and said:
“Little Nine, are you confident?”
Ning Qi humbly said:
“It should be no problem—quickly in one month, slowly in three months. However, this Condensing Gang Pill might be consumed in the process.”
Dragon Mountain Daoist stroked his beard and laughed heartily:
“No matter. If you can reverse-engineer the Condensing Gang Pill formula, it won’t be a problem for your master to find two more Condensing Gang Pills for you!”
Although the Condensing Gang Pill was precious, it wasn’t impossible to find.
But if they obtained the Condensing Gang Pill formula, then True Martial Sect’s foundation would truly surge greatly afterward. The probability of producing Gang Yuan Realm experts would greatly increase, and they could even use it to attract some Inner Yuan Realm Perfection experts to join.
Looking across the entire Great Yan Dynasty, the places capable of refining treasures like the Condensing Gang Pill numbered only a scant few forces.
Many people went to beg for pills and even needed to provide several portions of materials themselves.
Seeing Luo Wentian and the others still looking stunned, Dragon Mountain Daoist was in a great mood and couldn’t help laughing as he said:
“Your little junior brother’s attainments in the Medical Way and Pill Way are not low. The improved Body Tempering Powder in the sect previously came from his hand.”
Luo Wentian’s body shook, finding it somewhat inconceivable.
“This improved Body Tempering Powder actually came from Little Nine’s hand?”
He managed the sect’s affairs, big and small, and naturally knew how huge an elevation the improved Body Tempering Powder had brought to True Martial Sect.
Before, he had thought it was something his master had obtained from elsewhere.
Everyone widened their eyes and looked at Ning Qi.
Ning Qi merely smiled faintly.
Some things were destined not to be concealed forever. Now that his wings had gradually grown strong, he could slowly begin to showcase some of them. The people here were the closest ones, worthy of trust.
“Little Nine, you’ve hidden it really deeply!”
The congregation all exclaimed in admiration and laughed, their eyes then filling with excitement and anticipation.
Although they had unanimously decided to give the Condensing Gang Pill to Luo Wentian, who wouldn’t be moved by such a treasure? Everyone wanted to ascend another level on the peak of the Martial Way.
And now, the opportunity had come.
If Ning Qi could reverse-engineer the Condensing Gang Pill formula, True Martial Sect would no longer lack Condensing Gang Pills in the future.
Luo Wentian shoved the wooden box containing the Condensing Gang Pill into Ning Qi’s hand and patted his chest, saying:
“Little Nine, if there’s anything you need help with later, just tell your senior brothers and sisters!”
Ning Qi smiled and nodded.
Reverse-engineering the Condensing Gang Pill indeed required a large number of experiments, which would inevitably consume some medicinal herbs. Without the sect’s support, even with max level comprehension, he would be like a clever woman without rice.
The congregation was all invigorated.
Dragon Mountain Daoist waved his hand again, and several treasures immediately floated before the congregation.
There were Treasure Saber and Treasure Sword, as well as Treasure Armor. In addition, there were several treasures with varying uses—some obtained by Dragon Mountain Daoist this time down the mountain, others from previous accumulations—enough to ensure no disciple went empty-handed.
Dragon Mountain Daoist had never intended to favor one over the others.
Ning Qi’s eyes lit up as he looked toward those two True Intent Diagrams.
Sky Eagle True Intent Diagram and Mad Dragon True Intent Diagram!
