Chapter 278 Forum Turmoil
It turned out that after taking this elixir, Lianqiao and Hezong instinctively adjusted to a state where the medicinal power could be most easily absorbed, and quickly used the medicinal power to resolve all the negative effects caused by Wu Shaogan's training of them.
The effect was so good it was hard to believe—and unlike many recovery pills, it didn't cause any pain; instead, it was very comfortable, as if one had fallen into a deep sleep.
·
Lian Qiao gasped, unable to resist praising, "What a powerful pill!"
It has multiple medicinal effects!
Just one pill like this will allow you to fully recover!
Not only did he seem to have never had any injuries, but he was also full of energy, as if he could play several more games!
·
He felt the same way, and when he looked at Zhong Cai again, his eyes were filled with a burning passion—many times, it wasn't that they couldn't cultivate harder, but that their bodies couldn't support it.
But once you have this kind of pill, you can recover to your best condition in a very short time, and you can continue to cultivate diligently without any problem.
At the same time, you can prepare more when you are gaining experience in the outside world.
Although the two had indeed fallen into a dazed and confused state while healing, it was only because they were caught off guard and had never taken this kind of elixir before. If they had known the effects of the medicine before taking it, they would naturally have been able to stay conscious and endure it, just like with any other healing elixir.
·
Zhong Cai kept observing the expressions of the two people.
Wu Shaogan carefully observed the changes in the two men's auras, and as he did so, he told Zhong Cai all the results he had obtained.
Zhong Cai listened carefully and understood what was going on.
Wu Shaogan smiled slightly.
[This time the elixir was clearly a success. I wonder if A-Cai is satisfied with its effects?]
Zhong Cai touched her chin.
The result was even better than I expected, so I'm satisfied.
The two looked at each other, their eyes almost overflowing with laughter.
[Congratulations, A-Cai, your alchemy skills have improved again.]
Unfortunately, the technical complexity is still a bit low... Once the design is revealed, subsequent judgments aren't too difficult.
Wu Shaogan pondered for a moment.
【Ah Cai, you're getting a bit too Versailles-like.】
Zhong Cai suddenly heard this unusual term from her old man's soul, and couldn't help but laugh so hard that her shoulders trembled.
After laughing for a while, Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan leaned close together affectionately.
Before long, the two watched as Lianqiao and Hezong changed their postures and recovered smoothly, shedding their previous dusty appearance and becoming brand new.
After Lianqiao and Hezong opened their eyes, they looked at their own conditions and seemed to be caught in a complex or strange emotion.
However, they were top geniuses who could rival the bottom of the Sky Ranking, and they quickly regained their senses.
And then...
Lian Qiao blurted out, "What's the name of this pill?"
He Zong blurted out, "Master Zhong, is this pill for sale? If so, how can I buy it?"
Zhong Cai raised her eyebrows and answered frankly, "It hasn't been named yet."
·
There are too many inheritances on the top continent, and the alchemy classics are too numerous to list, so there are too many kinds of pills... Many pills with similar effects have already been given good names, and many are duplicates - often they just have their specific origins noted after the name to distinguish them.
Therefore, Zhong Cai didn't want to do anything fancy; he originally just wanted to call it "Qian Yuan No. 1".
Anyway, he will definitely continue to develop number two, three, four... in the future.
Unfortunately, if it were really named like that, it would seem a bit shabby—when the other Sky Pill Kings come out and create pill formulas with such high-class names, wouldn't he, the dignified tenth pill king, be laughed at for using a numbered formula?
After much deliberation, Zhong Cai decided to give up.
·
Lianqiao and Hezong were both stunned.
It hasn't been named yet...
Zhong Cai pondered, "This is the first relatively complete elixir formula that I obtained after Lao Wu and I moved to our new home, so let's just call it... Caixia Dan (Rainbow Clouds Elixir)."
The medicinal effects are quite multifaceted, and coincidentally, the colors of the sunset are also varied, so they can be considered somewhat related.
The name "Qian Yuan Dan" was reserved for other pills he could create in the future.
·
Lianqiao remained silent for a moment.
He Zong praised, "Caixia Dan, what a wonderful name!"
Zhong Cai was very pleased by his praise, and then remembered his previous question and gave him an answer.
“I’ll refine a batch of this recipe later and hang it on the Danwu Heavenly Canopy so that all alchemists can learn it. I can’t refine many by myself, and after a while, other alchemists will definitely have it.” Zhong Cai smiled and said, “But since you’re here with Old Wu to hone your skills, I can share some with you.”
Lianqiao and Hezong were both delighted to hear this, thinking it was even better.
They quickly replied, "Thank you, King Zhong Dan!"
He Zong praised again: "Zhong Danwang has such a broad mind! The Caixia Dan has excellent medicinal effects. If Zhong Danwang wants to have his picture taken and send it into the sky, after some evaluation, the price will definitely be very high!"
Zhong Cai listened to him say that and began to ponder it.
·
On the Danwu Sky Screen, the images of level 5 can be viewed from 1 to 10 o'clock. Even the images of martial arts cultivators using secret techniques and fighting fiercely with each other will only be available up to 10 o'clock.
However, these are all demonstrations of the power of secret techniques, or explanations of learning techniques that are not exclusive and can be traded among various factions.
However, if it is a secret technique created by a martial arts practitioner, and he wants to explain and teach it to other fellow practitioners in detail through a photograph, then it will not be priced at this price.
Basically, a level 5 secret technique would cost at least several dozen points—a rough price range is usually given when Danwu Tianmu conducts an evaluation.
Similarly, the formulas and ideas created by alchemists themselves, if they were to be made public, would not be cheap.
But exactly how much...?
I only found out after it was passed on.
·
The fight was almost over, so Lianqiao and Hezong didn't linger and said goodbye to the two.
Before leaving, Wu Shaogan said, "I'm going to accompany Acai for the recording. You guys can practice on your own for the next few days."
Lian Qiao and He Zong both said, "When is it convenient for Junior Brother Wu to let us know?"
Wu Shaogan had no objection to someone being willing to come and be his punching bag. Moreover, since A Cai had even developed a new elixir for him, he was even less likely to disappoint her and readily agreed.
Lianqiao and Hezong bid farewell again, leaving with a sense of excitement.
·
After everyone left, Wu Shaogan sat down next to Zhong Cai, hugged him, and kissed him a few times.
Zhong Cai asked with a smile, "What's wrong, Lao Wu?"
Wu Shaogan rested his chin on Zhong Cai's shoulder and nuzzled her head against it.
Zhong Cai softened her voice and asked, "Are you tired?"
Wu Shaogan said in a muffled voice, "A little."
Zhong Cai also rubbed her cheek against Wu Shaogan, and said with some annoyance, "It's because I didn't trust you to take that Rainbow Pill first, otherwise you wouldn't be so tired now."
Wu Shaogan let out a breath and said softly, "Actually, it's not so bad."
Zhong Cai actually knew that his old man Wu wasn't really tired. After all, he had been watching Wu for so many years, and he knew how much experience Wu had. But knowing was one thing, since Wu had acted like a child towards him, he naturally felt sorry for Wu!
So Zhong Cai turned around and hugged Wu Shaogan from the front.
Wu Shaogan hugged Zhong Cai tightly again.
With a flip, the two rolled into the depths of the ancient city, where they rested with their limbs intertwined.
·
Several hours later...
Wu Shaogan was indeed in high spirits.
Zhong Cai stretched, smiled at Wu Shaogan, and said, "Let's go! Come with me to record a video!"
Wu Shao chuckled dryly and replied, "Okay!"
·
The recording went fairly smoothly.
While refining the elixir, Zhong Cai explained each step in detail.
This includes the methods of controlling the wood and fire used, the order in which the medicinal materials are added, the temperature of the wood and fire, the processing methods for each medicinal material, the effects that will occur if the medicinal materials react accurately in the alchemy furnace, and what changes, sounds, and other reactions will occur in the furnace when the alchemy is successfully completed...
Zhong Cai was very rigorous in his alchemy.
Because his self-created elixir formula was incredibly clear in every aspect and he was quite skilled at it, the entire process of the elixir's formation proceeded without the slightest error, thanks to his explanation.
Finally, the recording was a complete success!
·
The process of taking the photo was personally handled by Wu Shaogan using Zhong Cai's disciple token. After Zhong Cai received the pill, she climbed into Wu Shaogan's arms and checked the image again with him.
There were indeed no problems.
Wu Shaogan gave Zhong Cai a thumbs-up and laughed, "Perfect!"
Zhong Cai said smugly, "Of course!"
Then, without hesitation, Zhong Cai uploaded the image directly to the Danwu Sky Screen.
As expected, just as described in the "annotation," the image did not immediately appear in the course section, but instead appeared as a blurry spot on the personal page, a sign that it was awaiting review.
But soon, Zhong Cai's eyes widened.
Two golden rays suddenly appeared on the blurry spot of light—indicating that two Pill Emperors were reviewing it.
Wu Shaogan also saw it, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and laugh, "Ah Cai is indeed receiving a lot of attention."
Zhong Cai also realized—that makes sense. If two Pill Emperors reviewed it so quickly, there must have been a "special reminder." Otherwise, the Pill Emperors wouldn't be so idle. There are only eleven in total, yet two of them happened to see it.
Wu Shaogan guessed, "It should be one of the leaders of the Xiao, Qu, and Zhong clans."
Zhong Cai felt the same way; it was because these three Dan Emperors who had recruited him in the past should be paying more attention to him.
Instead of waiting, the two bought some other "videos" to watch.
They are all working hard to learn and gain experience.
·
The Dan Emperors' review process is quite fast.
Aside from the fact that the "video" itself is four hours long, an eighth-level alchemist can refine a fifth-level pill in as little as two quarters of an hour.
About four and a half hours later, a reminder suddenly appeared on Zhong Cai's token screen.
Zhong Cai temporarily put down the video explaining some rare medicinal herbs and turned to her personal page.
Sure enough, the blurry light spots disappeared, and the "cover" of the image appeared—showing the image of the last bell taking out two top-grade and four superior-grade Rainbow Pills.
At the same time, there are two lines of small text below the image:
[Zhong Cai, the tenth-ranked Pill King on the Fifth-Level Pill Master Ranking, created his own pill formula, the Rainbow Cloud Pill.]
[Price not yet available]
Below that, there are two red text reminders:
[Estimated pricing range: Fifty to one hundred Danshu points.]
[Once priced, it can be immediately placed into the sky canopy.]
·
Zhong Cai looked at Wu Shaogan and asked with a smile, "Old Wu, how much do you think is appropriate?"
Wu Shaogan pondered for a moment: "If it were before, I would have suggested taking the middle number. But now..." He ruffled Zhong Cai's hair, "Let's go for good luck and go for 88 points. Cai's prescription is worth it."
Zhong Cai was immediately delighted; it was indeed a soul transfer. He quickly changed the second line of the description to:
[Price: 88 Danshu Points]
Then, Zhong Cai's soul released the "video".
And this video quickly appeared on the homepage of the "Online Classes" section—new videos always appear there first.
·
Zhong Cai leaned back, lazily snuggling into Wu Shaogan's arms, and yawned.
"Old Wu, how many alchemists do you think would be interested?"
Wu Shaogan said confidently, "There must be a lot."
Zhong Cai rolled over, still nestled in Wu Shaogan's arms, still looking lazy: "What do you mean?"
Wu Shao chuckled dryly, "I'm just curious about you."
Zhong Cai thought for a moment and said, "That's true. If it were me, I would be curious too."
The two chatted casually for a few minutes, hugged each other to recharge, and then continued "studying".
He was quite hardworking.
Of course, whenever we felt a little tired or bored from studying, we would exchange glances and "recharge" for a while.
·
Several similar posts suddenly appeared on the Danwu Sky Curtain "forum".
[Discussion] Has anyone else discovered the video of Junior Brother Zhong?
[Discussion] Junior Brother Zhong posted a video! It's a self-created elixir formula!
[Discussion] After more than a month of learning, I have become familiar with the sect environment and broken through a small realm. I have also refined several kinds of pills and created new pill formulas. What do you fellow disciples think?
[Discussion] Junior Brother Zhong...
[Discussion] Junior Brother Zhong's ranking last month...
All the posts were quite popular, but in the end, all the discussions focused on one particular post.
The floor with the longest title is the one on the highest floor.
·
The main post is from the person who posted it.
[Having been jolted awake: What do you fellow disciples think? I'm completely outmatched; I can only watch and dare not say anything more.]
[Three bombshells today: Even a normal alchemist couldn't do this. As far as I know, Senior Brother Yin Zhao and Senior Sister Lin Miaowan are both Sky-Piercing Alchemy Kings, and their alchemy skills are extremely high, but neither of them could do this.]
[Five Bombs: Senior Brother Yin and Senior Sister Lin both have a good relationship with Junior Brother Zhong. I heard they often visit him, and when other fellow disciples ask them, they are full of admiration. It's clear that Junior Brother Zhong is indeed... a bit abnormal!]
[Explosions galore: Are you guys really not afraid that Junior Brother Zhong will see you from the Sky Curtain? You're all so arrogant.]
[Bomb Five: It's not arrogance, just a faint sense of jealousy.]
[Today's Third Bombshell: ...and, fueled by a touch of jealousy, I used words perfectly suited to our current feelings to offer my deepest respect to Junior Brother Zhong.]
What followed was a series of repetitive, nonsensical ramblings... which then moved on to the main topics raised in several other posts.
[Whether you want to explode or not: I posted this thread, let's discuss it here.]
Yesterday, while I was looking for video courses, I unexpectedly discovered that Junior Brother Zhong had released a video of a pill formula, priced at 88 points! Among us level 5 pill masters, very few of these formulas can exceed 100 points; those are all extremely skillful.
Junior Brother Zhong seemed to have put together a deal casually this time, and it didn't take long. Eighty-eight points might not even be the highest price; its upper limit is most likely one hundred points... My curiosity got the better of me, so I bought the viewing privilege and watched the whole process carefully.
[My junior colleague exploded: I found out too, I bought it too, and I posted about it too.]
[Senior brother explodes: Still that foolish senior brother, he never gets to the point!]
[Just finished exploding: To put it simply, those pills are really good. After buying them, I felt they were very feasible, but I can't learn how to use them in a short time. I don't understand many of the alchemy techniques involved, so I need to study them more.]
[Refined Numb: Indeed, the level is very high. My master also bought some and has already refined it. At that time, he had my eldest brother's partner beat up my junior brother's partner. Now, my junior brother's partner has taken the Rainbow Cloud Pill and feels great.]
[I'm learning and practicing: Everything I've seen is great, and I've gained a better understanding of Junior Brother Zhong. I feel like everyone's brains are very different; I almost want to dig them out...]
[Eyes too sharp: Right now, it's like anyone can just grab a handful of soul essence here, and any alchemist would be somewhat interested. However, the price isn't cheap, and many fellow disciples can't afford to allocate their points.]
[Senior Brother's reaction: Envy, jealousy, and resentment! Even if it's a bit more expensive, there will definitely be a lot of people buying it! I can't even imagine how many alchemy points Junior Brother Zhong can earn!]
·
The topic mainly focused on alchemists, but the martial arts cultivators of the War God Temple somehow got wind of it and became quite interested in this kind of pill, even placing orders with many familiar disciples of the Spirit Immortal Sect.
Some Lingxian Sect disciples who were still clueless received the list, went back and inquired, learned about the situation, and found it interesting and had enough points, so they bought it and prepared to make a big splash.
Gradually, many alchemists learned it—but not every alchemist is exceptionally talented, and many alchemists, seeing that their fellow disciples still struggled to grasp many aspects even after purchasing it, gave up on trying it themselves.
Even so, given Zhong Cai's reputation, disciples continued to flock to buy the images of this formula.
·
As Zhong Cai browsed through the images of other alchemists, he noticed that his disciple token was constantly getting hot and trembling.
It's a bit noisy.
Zhong Cai looked impatiently at the place indicated by the token—that is, the personal page.
Then he was surprised to find that the balance of alchemy points displayed there would occasionally jump up and down!
In that instant, Zhong Cai leaped up and grabbed the arm of Wu Shaogan, who was practicing archery in front of him.
Wu Shaogan put away his great bow, looked at Zhong Cai, and asked, "Cai, what's wrong?"
Zhong Cai hurriedly pulled Wu Shaogan aside and made him look at the Tianmu page.
Wu Shaogan looked over and then froze.
"Thirty thousand...four thousand points?"
A quick calculation of income and expenditure reveals that over 20,000 of these were sudden increases.
In other words, the proceeds from selling "videos".
Zhong Cai had also figured it out, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "At least three hundred level-five alchemists have bought my pill formula?"
Moreover, during the short time the two were talking, several more alchemists made purchases.
·
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan looked at each other in bewilderment.
Although Wu Shaogan had great confidence in his daughter A Cai, and both of them knew perfectly well that the "videos" would definitely sell well, it was only when they actually saw the points increase that they felt a sense of reality.
The points came too fast!
And it's clear that this is definitely not the final result; there will likely be intermittent "revenue" arriving later.
·
After a moment of stunned silence, Zhong Cai suddenly felt a pang of regret: "Old Wu, it would be great if alchemy points could be converted into combat points."
Wu Shaogan rubbed Zhong Cai's face and said with a smile, "First of all, congratulations on the great success of A Cai Dan's prescription!"
Zhong Cai was forced into a somewhat comical expression, but he didn't care. Instead, he quickly pouted and, in that position, lunged into Wu Shaogan's arms—
Wu Shaogan caught him.
The two were very affectionate.
Wu Shaogan's entire focus was on Zhong Cai, and now a rare thought popped into his head—why not also send out a copy of the video of him beating up those senior brothers and sisters, and earn some pocket money?
But Wu Shaogan quickly gave up on the idea.
I should stick to playing solo from now on. My senior classmates always look so embarrassed; they probably still have some pride.
·
The two practiced their cultivation day after day in a joyful mood.
The arrival of both alchemy disciples and martial arts disciples added vitality to the small island.
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan got along very well with them, and both sides continued to make progress.
In this way, fellow students brought fellow students, friends brought friends... and Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan built up a large network of connections.
·
On this day, two senior brothers and sisters who were already very familiar with this place and could often buy pills from Zhong Cai came again.
But this time they didn't come to be "tested," but brought a message.
Zhong Cai asked in bewilderment, "What? A Battle King is going to celebrate... his fiftieth birthday?"
He Zong was also quite helpless: "King Zhong Dan may not know, but that Dou Wang does not only celebrate his fiftieth birthday, but he celebrates his birthday almost every year. Every time, he invites those Dou Wangs on the list of Cangqiong, or those who are close to Dou Wangs or were once on the list."
Lian Qiao pouted and said, "It's just to earn some money for gift money."
He Zong added, "Actually, the main purpose is to bring together the Fighting Kings so they can compete against each other."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Cai pressed further, "What are we competing in?"
Lian Qiao then said seriously, "To resist the falling star, we'll see who reaches the Broken Rock Mountain first."
Zhong Cai exclaimed "Whoa!"
That so-called "falling star," could it just be a shooting star?
What's this "climbing a rocky mountain" nonsense? Why would a bunch of fighting kings go mountain climbing?!
but……
Zhong Cai looked at Wu Shaogan and thought that since they were newcomers, they should probably be given some face.
After all, the invitation they sent was a direct invitation to the two of them, which was already very sincere.
Zhong Cai nudged her husband, Lao Wu, and whispered, "Lao Wu, what do you think?"
Wu Shaogan had no objection; he said, "Let him go."
Zhong Cai chuckled.
Since joining the sect, he hasn't left the house for a long time.
So Zhong Cai readily agreed, "Then we'll look forward to it! We'll definitely go!"
Wu Shaogan nodded as usual.
