Chapter 322: Enticent
The mont she saw the pill, the only thought that crossed Real Person Yuyao’s mind was — this pill looks real!
Although Dan Yun had used “Flavor Dragon Spicy Strips” as supplentary ingredients,
if she really had refined a Supre Primordial Heaven-nding Pill that reeked of spicy strips, Yuyao would definitely have suspected sothing was wrong.
After all, she had once owned an Immortal-grade Primordial Heaven-nding Pill.
That pill had no strange sll at all, only a pure, soul-soothing dicinal fragrance.
And now, the feeling this Supre-grade Primordial Heaven-nding Pill gave her was exactly the sa —
except it lacked the heavenly phenona of an Immortal-grade pill; the dicinal fragrance wouldn’t coalesce into spirit beasts running around the pill cauldron.
Other than that, it was practically a trimd-down version of the Immortal-grade pill.
She picked up the Supre-grade pill and took a deep breath at the tip of her nose.
The rich scent flooded her nostrils, and she felt as though her very soul had lightened.
"You only managed to refine one Supre-grade Primordial Heaven-nding Pill from this entire batch?" She narrowed her eyes at Dan Yun.
Even though she was almost certain the pill was real, her doubts weren’t entirely put to rest.
What she needed was absolute certainty.
"Of course not just one," Dan Yun replied coldly, her voice indifferent. "One batch yields ten Primordial Heaven-nding Pills. Whether a Supre-grade one appears depends on luck. The rest of this batch are all Mortal-grade... what, does Real Person still want Mortal-grade pills?"
"Bring out the rest of the Mortal-grade Primordial Heaven-nding Pills from the sa batch. This Venerable One will take a look," Yuyao ordered.
Dan Yun didn’t say much else. She simply pulled out the other nine Mortal-grade pills from her storage ring.
A nearby disciple from Yaochi quickly stepped forward, took the pills, and laid them out one by one on the table in front of Real Person Yuyao.
The pill patterns matched perfectly — a key indicator that they ca from the sa batch.
Once Yuyao confird the pills were legit, she lifted one of them and scanned the hall:
"Mortal-grade Primordial Heaven-nding Pills may not enhance the quality of the Dantian, but they can stabilize cultivation realms and increase the chances of breaking through bottlenecks.
Here are nine Mortal-grade pills from the sa batch as the Supre-grade one.
Is there any disciple willing to test them?"
Testing pills, huh...
The disciples of Yaochi exchanged awkward glances.
They couldn’t help recalling what happened before Dan Yun was captured and brought to Yaochi Sacred Land.
At that ti, in order to refine Primordial Heaven-nding Pills, Real Person Yuyao had invited quite a few alchemists to research pill formulas.
Naturally, all kinds of "Primordial Heaven-nding Pills" were produced —
but whether they actually worked needed live testing.
At first, disciples were pretty enthusiastic about volunteering.
Until a few of them suffered Qi deviations from consuming faulty pills.
After that, whenever pill-testing was ntioned, nobody dared to step up anymore.
So Yuyao had to start calling on people directly by na.
And whoever got picked would look utterly miserable, as if being marched to the execution grounds.
Dan Yun’s pills shouldn’t cause Qi deviation... right?
So disciples secretly thought to themselves.
After all, this was the legendary Pill Saint.
But... they couldn't completely rule out the risk.
One bad pill, and years of hard cultivation could be ruined.
No one wanted to gamble.
But where so shrink back, others step forward.
From the crowd, a hand shot up high.
The person stepped forward, serious and upright.
"Disciple Zhang Zhiping volunteers to test the pill for Real Person!"
The crowd parted to let Zhang Zhiping through.
Yuyao had been rather annoyed earlier, but seeing this newly admitted disciple step forward so boldly, her mood imdiately improved.
She looked at him with increasing approval.
However, Zhang Zhiping had a Profound Water Spiritual Root — extrely valuable.
It wouldn’t do to risk him testing pills.
"I have so many disciples in Yaochi Sacred Land. Is their courage really inferior to that of a newcor?" Yuyao raised her voice.
"Those who dare to volunteer — when This Venerable One ascends in the future, I’ll prioritize bringing such devoted disciples to the Immortal Realm!"
Heavy rewards bring forth brave n.
And heavy bait brings eager volunteers.
As soon as she said that, several disciples imdiately volunteered.
Yuyao distributed the nine Mortal-grade pills according to the order of volunteering,
all the while observing both the disciples taking the pills and Dan Yun’s expression.
However, Dan Yun’s face remained calm and indifferent throughout,
her slightly pursed lips even carrying a hint of disdain.
After a while, all the disciples finished taking the pills.
Yuyao personally checked each one.
She found that their cultivation had indeed stabilized, their auras grew denser, and even so old internal injuries were healed by the Mortal-grade Primordial Heaven-nding Pills.
Exactly the expected effects for this grade.
This confird that the batch of pills had no issues.
Subconsciously, Yuyao glanced at Dan Yun again —
sowhat surprised by how honest she was.
She had half-expected the pills to be of lower quality.
At that mont, Dan Yun’s cold eyes t hers,
her red lips parting lightly as she scoffed:
"What’s the matter? The mighty master of Yaochi scared of being tricked by a re little alchemist like ?
If I really had that kind of ability, would I still be stuck here?"
Yuyao wasn’t embarrassed at all.
She simply put the Supre-grade pill back into its box and laughed,
"Better safe than sorry. This Venerable One didn’t make it to Mahayana Stage on talent and luck alone."
She was already preparing to use the Supre-grade pill to recover from her injuries.
Although the cultivation loss caused by Reincarnation Sword Intent was irreversible,
as long as her wounds stabilized, she might have a chance to rebuild in the future.
anwhile, Dan Yun was contemplating how to lend Zhang ngchu a hand regarding dual cultivation.
Suddenly, she heard Yuyao ask:
"Dan Yun, you’re the Pill Saint, one of the top dical cultivators in Cangyun Realm, and you possess Spirit Eyes.
Tell This Venerable One — could this Supre-grade Primordial Heaven-nding Pill fully heal my wounds and stabilize my cultivation at the peak of the First Tribulation Realm?"
Dan Yun’s heart stirred. Speak of the devil, and the devil appears.
Still, she kept her face cold and aloof, replying in a frosty tone:
"Real Person, don’t bother testing .
You never believed my words in the first place.
Why bother asking?"
"You only need to say it. Whether I believe it or not is my business," Yuyao said, lounging against a jade cushion,
casually fiddling with the pill box.
She believed she had grasped Dan Yun’s weakness and wasn't afraid of any tricks.
Besides, she had her own ability to judge right from wrong.
Dan Yun was silent for a while, as if accepting the situation, then let out a soft sigh and spoke bluntly:
"The force that keeps eating away at your cultivation is the Reincarnation Sword Intent.
The Supre-grade Primordial Heaven-nding Pill mainly heals Dantian damage.
It wasn’t crafted to dispel Sword Intent of this kind.
Even if you use the pill, it won’t completely remove the Reincarnation Sword Intent."
Yuyao’s face instantly darkened, her voice sharp:
"Didn’t they say the Supre-grade Primordial Heaven-nding Pill can heal any injury?!
Even dragging the dying back from the brink?!"
Dan Yun’s forehead shone faintly with a crescent light,
eting Yuyao’s angry, suspicious glare without the slightest fear.
She sneered:
"In this vast Cangyun Realm, besides you,
has anyone else ever been afflicted by Reincarnation Sword Intent?"
Yuyao was speechless, completely defeated under Dan Yun’s gaze.
In all of history, only Zhang Yibai had truly comprehended the Dao of Reincarnation.
She had no choice now but to believe Dan Yun — because of the Spirit Eyes.
"Then what’s the solution?" she asked.
"Profound Water Spiritual Root is the best healing cauldron," Dan Yun said lightly, her fingers brushing her ring.
"Yin and Yang rge, water and milk blend —
if Real Person can find a male cultivator with Profound Water Spiritual Root who still retains his virgin body,
using him as a healing cauldron combined with the Supre-grade Primordial Heaven-nding Pill...
perhaps you could completely purge the Reincarnation Sword Intent."
As soon as those words dropped,
Yuyao froze in place for a long mont.
Then, almost unconsciously, she glanced toward Zhang Zhiping among the crowd.
For so reason, after that glance —
she found him... increasingly pleasing to the eye.
