The two old men huddled together happily, talking about Nian Wanzhou as if they were talking about their own grandchild, their faces beaming with joy.
The Grand Elder decided to inform the Sect Master of this news, which was a good thing!
He happily took out the jade tablet, preparing to contact the sect leader, when he suddenly felt a surge of spiritual energy flowing through his meridians, clearing the previously blocked and uncomfortable areas.
The elder suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, and then exhaled a breath of stale air.
When he opened his eyes again, his vision was clear: "The Nourishing Pill you refined this time... is really powerful, Fourth Brother, it's already taking effect."
"So fast??" The Fourth Elder was extremely surprised and immediately used his spiritual power to sense the changes in him.
As expected, a gentle spiritual energy was repairing the Grand Elder's meridians within his body. The process was fast, but since he hadn't consumed many pills, the effect was still insufficient.
"If you eat the same amount as before, your meridians should be much clearer within a month."
The Fourth Elder's eyes shone brightly; he was so excited that he couldn't control his emotions.
Immediately afterwards, the elder slumped onto the soft couch, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat. This was a necessary process for unblocking the meridians, and the pain was indescribable.
Fortunately, it was a Nourishing Pill, which is mainly for gentle nourishment and health, and its spiritual energy was also very gentle. What disrupted the usual effects of the Nourishing Pill and cleared the meridians was that spiritual energy, the white spiritual energy contained in the spiritual plant.
About fifteen minutes later, the elder returned to normal, feeling relaxed and comfortable.
The Grand Elder let out a long sigh of relief: "Phew, we've finally made it through. For the first time in so many years, I feel so relaxed and full of spiritual energy."
"This is amazing, truly amazing! I originally thought this white spiritual energy would enhance the effects of the Nourishing Pill and nourish your body. I never expected this..." Elder Cheese felt like he was going crazy. This was simply heaven-defying!
"She can actually clear the meridians, my god... Wanwan, she's simply a miracle!"
It's normal for Danxiu to have medical skills, but they don't know a lot of them.
The medical skills of a medical cultivator are even more advanced. An ordinary medical cultivator needs to learn medical skills related to humans, demons, and spirit beasts, covering a wider range of conditions.
The Fourth Elder has devoted himself to cultivation over the years, focusing on refining pills for the First Elder and searching for ways to restore his body and cultivation. Therefore, his medical skills are also quite good.
"I just tried it, and there's a power in my dantian that seems to be able to expel those impurities from my body. I can even feel that my meridians are much wider than before." The Grand Elder's voice trembled with excitement as he burst forth with suppressed elation.
Before long, the expelled impurities appeared on the elder's skin, though not many.
But it's very conspicuous and smells bad.
"Hahaha! Now you can finally continue your cultivation in peace!" The Fourth Elder danced with joy, as happy as a child. "I'll go tell the others that you should rest and not waste your spiritual power. Remember that!"
"Just in case anything goes wrong!"
"Understood, you may go now." The Grand Elder was also very excited, but of course he knew he needed to continue observing and couldn't use his spiritual power recklessly.
"I'm leaving now." After the Fourth Elder left the room, the First Elder closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
He was once a Mahayana cultivator, but after that great battle, his meridians were severely damaged and he could no longer circulate spiritual energy. His body gradually deteriorated, and he could only recover slowly with the pills refined by the fourth brother.
His cultivation level dropped by a whole rank, and he is now a cultivator at the peak of the Integration stage.
However, despite having cultivation, he was unable to circulate spiritual energy, unable to personally teach disciples, and had to constantly endure the pain caused by the continuous influx of spiritual energy into his body.
This kind of life was actually quite agonizing for the Grand Elder.
However, he had already gotten used to it, so even though the spiritual power in his dantian had increased considerably, he did not feel gratified, but instead became solemn.
He didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.
After the Fourth Elder informed the Sect Master and several elders, everyone was unsurprisingly very excited. However, the Sect Master still asked everyone to calm down.
This matter must be kept secret; not a single word can be leaked. If it is leaked, the danger will only befall Nian Wanzhou.
She is only a little over a year old and cannot bear such a big risk.
This is no small matter in the cultivation world. A divine beast cub with pure and abundant spiritual power can not only clear up meridians blocked by many impurities after the spiritual plants it grows are refined into pills, but it also has the body of an immortal spirit.
If it falls into the wrong hands, who knows what terrible things might happen.
Therefore, they must take good care of Nian Wanzhou.
It wasn't just because of this situation; over the past few days, they've discovered...
This child is very persevering and energetic, just like one's own lively child. The elders all dote on her, though they don't express it.
"The eldest brother's meridians are fine now. Not only are his meridians fine, but his spiritual energy is also much purer than before. It seems the pills the fourth brother refined were quite effective!" The second elder was also amazed. "So, you won't have to endure that pain anymore."
The other elders nodded in agreement.
A glimmer of hope appeared in the sect leader's eyes. He calmly said, "Keep this a secret for now, and keep the situation with the eldest brother a secret as well. Don't let it leak out. The most urgent thing is not alchemy, but protecting the dragon cub. Don't let her talent be discovered, or it will harm her."
"Fourth brother, don't let her refine pills in front of others recently. Let her grow spiritual plants instead."
"Alright, Sect Master." The Fourth Elder was still somewhat disappointed, but the most important thing was the safety of the little boy and the health of the eldest brother; these things could not be compromised.
...
In the following days, the Fourth Elder did not force Nian Wanzhou to refine pills. He just looked lovingly at the little children helping Nan Yu, and the more he looked at them, the more satisfied he became.
When Nian Wanzhou noticed that the Fourth Elder was looking at her, she assumed that he wanted her to refine pills again, so she gave him a polite but awkward smile.
Then……
She ran away.
He went straight to train his body with the new inner disciples, humming and hawing as he worked out.
The sect tests are over, and the inner disciples have been decided. Not many people have chosen body cultivation. Those who have are mostly poor children with little talent.
Normal disciples would never choose to become body cultivators. They would rather be sword cultivators or saber cultivators who wield swords, or cultivators who can make money, such as alchemy cultivators, medical cultivators, or talisman cultivators.
Body cultivation?
That's something only the one who gets beaten up would choose. Only the weak would choose to cultivate their bodies instead of picking up weapons to fight back.
Therefore, there were only a dozen or so body cultivators, and they were all honest and simple-minded.
