"It’s absolutely impossible for to lie," Wang Mu shook his head. "Otherwise, do you really believe that a little Qi Refining Realm Cultivator like could concoct such an Abnormality Spirit Pill?" It seed sowhat reasonable.
"Dongfang Mu has been dead for many years..." the old woman said slowly. "No one would believe what you are saying."
"That I don’t know," Wang Mu replied. "Senior Dongfang Mu said that this Elixir was originally nad ’Immortal Sorrow.’ It was an extraordinary dicine from a thousand years ago, requiring three special dicinal ingredients to craft."
"After he imparted the Elixir recipe to , he disappeared, and I do not know of his origins."
"Well, since the Spirit Pill is in your hands..." the old woman continued, "there’s no need to ask the second question. I will inquire with our ancient ancestor and see how she responds..."
Upon finishing, the old woman traced a few spiritual patterns in the air as if writing with her finger, which briefly materialized in the void. A short while later, "Our ancient ancestor says that you can have the Heavenly Heart Protecting God Pill," the old woman said with a slight smile, "but there is one condition."
"What condition?" Wang Mu let out a breath of relief.
"After this Elixir is given to you, you may use it however you wish, but you must not give it to a specific individual."
"Who?"
"The Yan Sword Immortal of your Sword Sect."
Wang Mu frowned. Damn. As expected, I knew it would be like this...
Wang Mu had anticipated this situation. At the sa ti, it also ant that the ancient ancestor of the Dan King Sect was almost certainly Mo Xilan from those years.
"How about it?" the old woman said, narrowing her eyes. "If you can accept this, the Elixir is yours. If not..."
"Then, I definitely cannot!" Wang Mu decisively replied. "To be frank, the reason I ca to the Dan King Sect to ask for this Elixir was specifically to have it for my sect’s Master Yan’s use."
"What is your relationship with her?" the old woman laughed. "Why would a little Qi Refining Realm Cultivator like you need to obtain this Elixir for a Sword Immortal of the Ascension Realm?"
"She is my ntor who passed on her teachings to !" Wang Mu exclaid. "She has granted a second life! Though I am but a tiny Qi Refining Realm Cultivator, can I not seek Elixirs for her? Senior, is there sothing wrong with that?"
Wang Mu’s emotionally charged voice resounded firmly, leaving the old woman taken aback. Anyone could hear the genuine emotion in his words.
"Granny, he’s right..." Chen Feng couldn’t help but sigh from the side. "Although he’s just a Qi Refining Realm Cultivator, it doesn’t prevent him from possessing the courage and determination to seek the Elixir. Such a compassionate and righteous person, couldn’t you consider allowing our ancient ancestor to make an exception..."
"Yeah, Granny!" Shen Jiao was also sowhat moved. "In the Cultivation World today, there are very few people who are so compassionate and righteous."
The old woman was silent for a mont. "The rules of the ancient ancestor are well established..." she then shook her head. "Our Dan King Sect does not concern itself with the affairs of the Cultivation World, but a rule is a rule."
This is troubleso, Wang Mu thought.
After a mont, the old woman suddenly said, "However... the ancient ancestor just ntioned that rules can be broken, but there is another condition..."
"If it can be done, I will certainly..."
"Didn’t you say that this Elixir was taught to you by the ancient sage Dongfang Mu?" the old woman asked. "Have him co to the Dan King Sect for a visit, or report his location to our ancient ancestor. If you do, she will make no rules; you can use the Elixir however you want."
"Otherwise, you might as well seek so other treasure. Our ancient ancestor will not give you the Elixir."
Hearing this, Wang Mu felt a relief wash over him. Everything was within his control.
He knew before coming here that the Heavenly Heart Protecting God Pill wouldn’t be so easy to obtain. Even though the Dan King Sect was secluded, it was still well-inford about the affairs of the Cultivation World. Yan Qingwu had failed her Crossing Tribulation, and her Primordial Spirit was damaged. Now, as a disciple of the Sword Sect, he was coming to the Dan King Sect to request this Heavenly Heart Protecting God Pill. It was quite clear who it was for.
Given Mo Xilan’s nature, she was definitely not going to provide it. The girl in the ga who could poison the heroines among her teammates had a petty nature and was distinctly jealous. Though it wasn’t fatal poison, it was obviously impossible for her to want to save these heroines.
But another identity could change things.
"Senior Dongfang Mu..." Wang Mu pondered for a few seconds. "He cos and goes without a trace, and even I can’t find him at a mont’s notice. But—I do indeed know his location..."
"Tell ," the old woman demanded succinctly.
"He said he would co to see when I reach Foundation Establishnt," Wang Mu considered. "I’m currently at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, so he should appear quite soon."
"I dare not lie about this under any circumstances. Otherwise, may my Divine Soul be utterly destroyed."
Such an oath, in the Cultivation World, counted as a powerful pledge bound to one’s Taoist Heart.
"Very well, the ancient ancestor is satisfied," the old woman smiled faintly. "When you achieve Foundation Establishnt, our Dan King Sect will send soone to find you. You do not need to show yourself. You just need to ensure that the ancient sage Dongfang Mu appears."
"At that ti, if he does not appear, then you never need to show yourself again."
The undertone of those words carried a strong intimation of Intimidation.
"Naturally!"
"By the way..." the old woman continued. "The ancient ancestor said that, except for our Dan King Sect, you must not tell anyone about this matter. This is especially true for anything concerning Dongfang Mu. If you dare reveal even a hint of this to the outside world, then forget the whole deal."
"No problem," Wang Mu nodded repeatedly.
As he finished speaking, a jeweled box flew in from beyond the heavens, landing before Wang Mu, accompanied by a Jade Scroll.
"Inside the brocade box lies the Heavenly Heart Protecting God Pill."
"This Jade Scroll is the Heavenly Saint’s Handwritten Notes of our Dan King Sect. Although it does not contain any Elixir recipes, it records many Alchemy Techniques and thods of Alchemy Dao Great Saints. It also includes accounts of various Divine dicines found between heaven and earth, encompassing ancient and modern knowledge. This will greatly assist in enhancing your proficiency in the Alchemy Dao."
