"Nascent Spirit Pill!"
Zhu Yin's words greatly surprised Song Wen.
"Zhu Yin, are you playing tricks on ? I don't have any Nascent Spirit Pills," Song Wen said.
"I know you don't have one right now, but I believe that sooner or later, you will be able to refine this pill," Zhu Yin replied.
"You trust so easily?" Song Wen asked with so surprise.
"I trust my judgnt, and I never misjudge people," Zhu Yin said with a firm tone.
"Then what do I get in return?" Song Wen asked.
"Primordial Nascent Soul Pill!" Zhu Yin replied.
In the Chaotic Sea, most cultivators use the Primordial Nascent Soul Pill when forming their nascent soul. This pill increases the chances of success by 10%.
However, the Primordial Nascent Soul Pill has a notable flaw: a cultivator can only consu one in their lifeti, and the second pill is almost ineffective.
The Nascent Spirit Pill, on the other hand, is different. Although the effect of the second pill is weaker, it still retains half the potency of the first pill.
This ans that consuming two Nascent Spirit Pills can increase the chances of forming the nascent soul by 30%, and if combined with a Primordial Nascent Soul Pill, the chances rise to 40%.
"The value of one Primordial Nascent Soul Pill cannot be compared to that of an Nascent Spirit Pill," Song Wen said indifferently.
"What if I add two portions of the spiritual materials needed to refine the Nascent Spirit Pill?" Zhu Yin asked.
Song Wen looked at her in surprise.
"You've already gathered all the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Nascent Spirit Pill?"
"Not yet, but I'm only one herb short," Zhu Yin said, her tone quite pleased.
"Which herb is missing?" Song Wen asked.
"Purple Ginseng!" Zhu Yin replied.
"Purple Ginseng? I'm also short of this herb; perhaps we can cooperate," Song Wen suggested.
"Cooperation is fine," Zhu Yin continued. "I will give you one Primordial Nascent Soul Pill, along with two portions of the herbs for refining the Nascent Spirit Pill, in exchange for one Nascent Spirit Pill. How does that sound?"
"Are you so sure that I can refine the Nascent Spirit Pill?" Song Wen asked.
"Like I said, I trust my judgnt, and I never misjudge people," Zhu Yin replied.
"Alright, I agree to your terms," Song Wen said.
This deal posed no harm to Song Wen.
The difficulty of refining two Nascent Spirit Pills with four portions of spiritual herbs is far less than refining one with just two portions.
After all, the Nascent Spirit Pill was a new pill that Song Wen had never refined before. With two extra portions of herbs to practice with, the chances of success were certainly higher.
Zhu Yin smiled knowingly. "Then it's settled."
Song Wen nodded.
"As for finding the Purple Ginseng, I hope you can put in more effort. As a direct disciple of the Demon Lord, you should be able to easily obtain information on the Purple Ginseng," Zhu Yin said.
"I will certainly try my best, but you also need to do what you can," she added.
"Of course," Song Wen agreed.
...
After parting with Zhu Yin, Song Wen arrived at Wu Ji Island.
He first checked the quantity of various third-grade pills in his storage ring.
Then, he went to the spirit herb shop, spending 60,000 spirit stones to purchase ten bottles of Golden Jade Pills, totaling 100 pills.
These pills are used by Golden Core cultivators to improve their cultivation.
However, Song Wen was currently cultivating with Blood Spirit Pills and had no use for Golden Jade Pills. Moreover, he hadn't refined any in recent years, leaving him with none in stock.
What he needed to do next required these pills, but he didn't have the ti to refine them himself. Therefore, he had no choice but to buy so.
Song Wen took out his communication jade slip and sent a ssage.
[ssage to Chu Qian]
"Chu Qian, do you have free ti these days? I'm holding a spirit feast at the Listening Tide Pavilion and would like to invite you to join for so drinks."
Chu Qian quickly replied.
[Reply from Chu Qian]
"Senior Ji Yin, it's been a while since I could contact you. Since you have invited , how could I refuse? Please wait a mont, I'll be there soon."
Looking at the ssage, Song Wen's lips curved into a smile.
After putting away the communication jade slip, Song Wen made his way to Listening Tide Pavilion, where he booked a private room and arranged for a fine spirit feast.
Not long after, Chu Qian arrived as promised.
"Senior Ji Yin, where have you been these years? I've visited Ji Yin Island several tis but never saw you."
Song Wen smiled and replied, "I had so old matters to deal with, so I took a trip to the Eastern Region."
"Was the trip smooth? I heard most of the Eastern Region has already been occupied by the demon race," Chu Qian asked.
Song Wen replied, "It was fine. I didn't have any direct confrontation with the demon race."
"With Feng Ying and Yuan Hao, the two peak-level fourth-grade demons, stationed there, the demon race has already solidified their position in the Eastern Region. It will be hard for the human race to reclaim it," Chu Qian comnted.
"Indeed. Unless the four major human factions of the Chaotic Sea join forces, along with other human powers, and unite to launch an attack against the demon race, it will be difficult to drive them out of the inner sea regions," Song Wen said.
The two of them continued eating and chatting, drinking several pots of spirit wine, and the atmosphere beca more relaxed.
"Senior, I wonder what the purpose of this invitation is?" Chu Qian asked as they were finishing their al.
After eating enough, Chu Qian was the first to bring up the main topic.
"To be honest, I've been running low on spirit stones recently, and I've just refined so pills that I'd like to sell to you," Song Wen said.
With a wave of his hand, several jade bottles appeared on the table.
These jade bottles contained third-grade pills, and apart from the ten bottles of Golden Jade Pills he had just bought, the others were pills Song Wen had previously refined.
Chu Qian checked each jade bottle containing pills and then said:
"Senior's pills, as always, are of excellent quality. The Golden Jade Pills are priced at 4,000 spirit stones per pill. The Qi Spirit Pills are priced at... Is this price acceptable to you?"
Song Wen replied, "I'm very satisfied. Let's proceed with the transaction at the price you suggested."
After completing the trade, Song Wen asked:
"Chu Qian, I've heard that your father, Elder Chu Lingyun, holds great influence in the inner sect. Could you introduce to him?"
Chu Qian asked in return, "Senior, is there sothing you need from my father?"
Song Wen shook his head, "No, I simply wish to make acquaintance with him. It would be convenient for to know a Gold Core Elder in the sect for future dealings."
"Sigh!"
Chu Qian suddenly sighed, looking sowhat lancholic.
"Senior, you don't know... My father was injured by a cultivator from the Evil Cult. He's unable to et with you at the mont."
"What?"
Song Wen exclaid in surprise.
"Your father is a late-stage Gold Core cultivator. How could soone from the Evil Cult injure him?"
Chu Qian shook his head, "My father doesn't know the identity of the attacker."
"How is your father's injury?" Song Wen asked with concern.
Chu Qian's tone was heavy as he replied, "My father was poisoned by deathly yin qi. To fully recover, it may take so ti."
"If he was injured by deathly yin qi, the Corpse King Valley wouldn't be a suitable place for his recovery. He should be treated in a place with abundant righteous energy for a better chance of healing," Song Wen suggested.
Chu Qian agreed, "You're right, Senior. My father is not at the Corpse King Valley at the mont. He's currently on a small island."
Upon hearing this, Song Wen's heart stirred slightly.
If Chu Lingyun was recovering in the Corpse King Valley, Song Wen wouldn't dare do anything to him.
But if he was on a small island and not on Wu Ji Island, Song Wen had no more concerns.
