After Master Zhichu left.
"Nephew Tianfan, if, and I an if, you happen to encounter the Demon-Wolf Horse again soday, could you get so of its fur for ?" Elder Yuan Chu hurried over to Ye Tianfan after seeing Master Zhichu leave and said.
"And for too, for too, ahem!" Elder Zhen Chu, seeing that Elder Yuan Chu had already placed an order, quickly placed his own. He then realized that he might have co off as a bit rude, so he coughed twice and pretended to be amiable as he said to Ye Tianfan, "I'm the sa as your Elder Yuan Chu. If, I an, if you co across a Demon-Wolf Horse, could you get a tuft or two of its fur for too!"
"..." Ye Tianfan looked at the two elders sowhat speechlessly and nodded helplessly, "This... all right, I'll try, but I can't guarantee I'll run into them or that I'll be able to get any!"
"No worries, no worries, don't feel pressured. I'm just saying, if you could, then get so." Elder Yuan Chu said with a smile.
Although Elder Yuan Chu said not to burden Ye Tianfan, deep down, he wished for Ye Tianfan to catch two Demon-Wolf Horses so he could gleefully collect their fur without any restraint.
Elder Yuan Chu knew this wasn't possible, but he couldn't help daydreaming.
Ye Tianfan saw Elder Yuan Chu's mischievous expression and knew he was up to sothing unseemly, so he quickly turned his gaze away.
As Ye Tianfan turned his gaze, he saw Elder Zhen Chu looking at him with the sa mischievous expression.
Ye Tianfan smiled at Elder Zhen Chu and said, "Of course, Elder Zhen Chu will also have so."
"Yes, yes, that's great, that's great. Hahaha!" Elder Zhen Chu laughed happily at Ye Tianfan's words.
Then, Elder Zhen Chu also began to daydream.
However, what he imagined was different from Elder Yuan Chu. Elder Yuan Chu imagined furiously collecting the fur of Demon-Wolf Horses, while Elder Zhen Chu fantasized about making a hundred arrays with the fur, using fifty and discarding fifty.
If using the blood of the Demon-Wolf Horse in alchemy could protect soone from evil, then creating magical treasures with its fur would have a similar effect.
However, the effect of the treasures wasn't as good as the elixirs made from the blood because pills are applied directly to the body, while treasures need constant spiritual power to wield and require 24/7 engagent; otherwise, if neglected, evil could invade again.
Refined arrays were better than treasures, not needing to be carried; once set up, they provided peace of mind, equating to the effect of elixirs made from Demon-Wolf Horse blood.
Yet, arrays had flaws, such as immobility, which was a major issue. Despite having effects like pills, an array remains an external tool. Leaving the array exposed one tovarious evils.
However, arrays have their rits, like supporting secluded cultivation without ntal bottlenecks, elevating one's state of mind smoothly until satisfied.
Magical treasures function similarly; if used continually, one will naturally apply them even in sleep.
If crafted as rings or necklaces and set to activate automatically, they would use one's spiritual power to function, needing no further interaction, given sufficient spiritual power.
Yet, pills reign supre in effect. Consud, they enhance the ability to fend off evil.
So, effects considered, pills are supre, followed by treasures. Though arrays have pill-like effects, their immobility renders them third best.
Yet arrays hold significant value for the sect, while treasures benefit individuals. In essence, treasures and arrays are equally valuable.
Upon agreeing with Elders Yuan Chu and Zhen Chu, Ye Tianfan apologized and left the tent, fearing that Yun Tian, the senior brother, would ask for items too.
Truthfully, Ye Tianfan worried too much. Though Taichu Peak disciples could practice various Immortal Techniques, Yun Tian hadn't practiced Artifact Refining, Array Practice, or Alchemy, focusing on Five Elents Immortal Techniques alone.
Practicing at Taichu Peak wasn't as specialized as the other peaks; one either focused on mastering one Immortal Technique or practiced a combination for synergy, only then could they surpass peers deeply practicing one.
Yun Tian understood, focusing solely on the Five Elents Immortal Techniques due to the extensive ti required for others like Artifact Refining, Array Practice, or Alchemy. Post Five Elents techniques, no ti remained for others.
Even with spare ti, Yun Tian wouldn't waste it.
Instead, he'd use any extra ti to advance in the Five Elents Immortal Techniques more pragmatically.
So Yun Tian didn't study Artifact Refining, Array Practice, or Alchemy, thus wouldn't ask Ye Tianfan for those items.
Although Yun Tian didn't practice these, he understood the principles and recognized various materials used for crafting magical treasures.
He could quickly identify materials and deduce the functions of a treasure.
Similarly, arrays could be judged by color and banner fluctuations to discern between Killing Arrays or Trapping Arrays.
However, pills were different, requiring deep imrsion and frequent contact with ingredients to discern the dication's scent and deduce its nature.
Yet, cultivators specializing in dicine are scarce, with only Taichu Sect and Shan Sect offering structured cultivation, while elsewhere, it's scattered self-study without formal guidance.
Hence, doctor-cultivators are exceedingly rare.
