Chapter 72: Life-gathering Pill
Chapter 72: Life-gathering Pill (Seeking follow-up reading)
"Junior Brother Li, I really have an important matter that I would like to ask for your help."
Pang Bai said, "I am going to refine a furnace of elixirs, and I need a spiritual medicine called three-leaf purple spiritual ginseng. There just happens to be a place that has this spiritual medicine, but this spiritual medicine is quite special, and it is difficult for me to succeed, so I want to hire Junior Brother Li to help me in the form of a task."
"Senior Brother Pang also knows how to make pills?"
Li Qian was very surprised.
"Junior Brother Li, you are joking. How could I possibly make an elixir? But I can spend contribution points and ask the alchemists in the Alchemy Palace to help me make one."
Pang Bai touched his shiny bald head and said.
"Brother Pang, my strength is limited. I'm afraid I can't help you with this."
Li Qian flatly refused.
There are so many innate masters in the inner sect, why is Pang Bai looking for me?
There was no interaction between the two.
Moreover, he had rejected Pang Bai's invitation when he was on a mission before.
"Junior Brother Li, don't rush to refuse. In addition to the contribution points required for the mercenary mission, if you get the three-leaf purple spiritual ginseng, I promise to give you half of it when I refine the Life-Gathering Pill."
Pang Bai gritted his teeth and said quickly, "This Ju Ming Dan is not an ordinary elixir. It is very special. If a martial arts expert who has been seriously injured and used secret techniques has lost a lot of his life energy, this elixir can replenish a certain amount of his life energy. Senior Brother Li should know that this life energy is related to a person's life span. Excessive loss of life energy will lead to a significant reduction in life span."
He knew that Li Qian's master had also been seriously injured and would definitely need this kind of medicine.
So he concluded that Li Qian could not refuse.
"Brother Pang, why are you so anxious to refine this pill?"
Li Qian asked curiously.
If this Life-Gathering Pill really has such an effect, then it is definitely worth a try.
He also hopes that his master Zhou Buping can live longer.
However, he has always been cautious by nature, and with the system in place, he doesn't want to take risks easily.
So you must ask clearly where you need to ask.
"Junior Brother Li, you may not know that my father was once an elder of the Divine Sword Sect. He retired after suffering a serious injury more than ten years ago. His health has been getting worse in recent years. If he cannot make the Life-Gathering Pill, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for much longer."
Pang Bai sighed and said.
The materials needed for the Life-Gathering Pill are extremely rare. Over the years, he has used all his connections and channels and spent a lot of effort to gather the other materials.
Now only the last piece of three-leaf purple ginseng is left.
"Brother Pang, I have another question. Why did you look for me? There are many inner disciples in the Divine Sword Sect who are stronger than me. It can't be because my master was also seriously injured, right?"
Li Qian pondered for a moment and asked again.
He didn't believe that Pang Bai was so kind.
"Junior Brother Li, the reason I came to you is because you have the magic sword."
Pang Bai shrugged and said.
There were five people in total who were matched with the Divine Sword last time.
The two true disciples will never leave the Divine Sword Sect.
Chang Xiaoyao entered the Royal Divine Martial Academy.
Ji Ming, who is also a core disciple of Wu Qu Peak, happened to be injured and it is estimated that he will not recover in a short time.
As for the other people in the Divine Sword Sect who possess the divine sword, they are at least at the level of elders.
He is simply unavailable.
Most importantly, he was worried that if the news that he had collected the materials for the Life-Gathering Pill were exposed, it would attract the covetousness of certain bigwigs.
It was a pity that he did not match the magic sword during that trip to the sword tomb, otherwise he would not have needed to look for Li Qian at all.
"Looking for the three-leaf purple spiritual ginseng, what does it have to do with the magic sword?"
Li Qian was very surprised.
"Junior Brother Li, you don't know that the three-leaf purple spiritual ginseng is very peculiar. It is said that it requires a true image-level martial spirit or a divinely refined weapon to suppress its spirituality. Otherwise, it cannot be caught and will definitely escape underground."
Pang Bai sighed and said.
The true image level of martial intent is generally referred to as the standard of heavenly beings.
It has absolute crushing power against virtual and illusory martial arts.
The divine sword is a divine weapon, and even if it is attacked by true-image-level martial arts, the holder of the divine sword has a certain immunity.
"Can this three-leaf purple ginseng escape?"
Li Qian was very surprised.
"Junior Brother Li, this three-leaf purple spiritual ginseng only looks like ginseng, but it actually has nothing to do with ginseng. It is a very special insect plant. It usually grows in one place like spiritual herbs, migrating every once in a while. Once it is frightened, it will flee."
Pang Bai explained.
"Senior Brother Pang, I need to think about it. I will give you an answer in three days." Li Qian said after thinking for a while.
Because he was not sure whether Pang Bai was telling the truth.
He still needs to confirm it.
"Okay, Senior Brother Li, I'll come back in three days."
Pang Bai nodded.
He can still wait for three days.
But it won’t work for too long, because the three-leaf purple ginseng has the habit of migration.
After Pang Bai left, Li Qian went straight to the vegetable garden in the back mountain.
Master Zhou Buping is busy in the vegetable garden.
Looking at his master's back, Li Qian suddenly realized that he had become much thinner and his hair was almost completely white.
There is an air of old age about him.
If he had not been injured, with the master's cultivation level of a grandmaster, even though he is nearly a hundred years old, he is actually still in peak condition.
"Master."
Li Qian walked over.
Zhou Buping stood up, turned around and saw that it was Li Qian, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Master, have you ever heard of the Life-Gathering Pill?"
Li Qian asked.
"I've heard that the raw materials for this elixir are hard to come by, and they don't have many uses. The sect has made it before, but it was used up long ago. Why are you asking this?"
Zhou Buping nodded and said.
If the Divine Sword Sect still had the Life-Gathering Pill, it would definitely be given to a grandmaster-level elder like him.
"I heard that it can restore your life force, Master?"
Li Qian said.
"Yes, but collecting the materials for this elixir is too time-consuming and laborious. Even with the power of the sect, it is difficult to gather them in a short period of time. You just need to have the intention."
Zhou Buping waved his hand and smiled.
"Master, was there a retired elder named Pang on Wuqu Peak?"
Li Qian turned and asked again.
"Well, there was a young elder named Pang Changming in Wuqu Peak. He had matched the divine sword before, but he was seriously injured more than ten years ago and had to retire. It was a pity. If nothing had happened to him, he would have no problem becoming a top grandmaster."
Zhou Buping recalled for a moment and then nodded.
After the holder of a magic sword retires or passes away, the magic sword he holds will be returned to the sword tomb.
"Li Qian, don't think about the Life Gathering Pill. It doesn't matter if your master lives a few more or less years. On the contrary, it's your delay in cultivation that's the big deal."
Zhou Buping reminded.
He has high hopes for Li Qian.
Even if I cannot become a Martial Saint in the future, I can at least become a celestial being.
Become the second celestial being of the Divine Sword Sect.
"Master, I understand."
Li Qian nodded and left the vegetable field.
He decided to accept Pang Bai's employment mission.
Anyway, the deadline for his next mission is approaching.
Just kill two birds with one stone.
Not only can you complete the task, but you will also have the opportunity to get the Life-Gathering Pill for your master to restore his vitality. Why not do it?
When Li Qian returned to Chenzhongtai, he saw Liu Ming busy building a nest for the young eagle.
The young eagle placed next to it had already fallen asleep on its stomach.
"What a lucky little guy."
Li Qian fiddled with the young eagle's fleshy wings with his fingers.
The little guy just moved a little and went back to sleep.
If Liu Ming hadn't picked it up, it would have definitely died in the end.
