NOVPUB"I could get some Holy Pill Recipes or something like that... I’ll do the alchemy myself, and if I can produce Holy Pills, I should be self-sufficient for my cultivation needs."
Su Changkong quickly thought of earning cultivation resources through alchemy.
Su Changkong had a solid foundation in alchemy, and with his current terrifying potential of 150 points, he believed it wouldn’t be a problem to advance his alchemy skills further, to the point where he had a chance of producing Holy Pills.
The only thing he needed was the Holy Pill Recipe!
The Holy Pill Recipe was extremely precious; only the large sects and clans possessed recipes of such a level, and they were regarded as secrets not to be shared, as important as unparalleled techniques and ancient scriptures. Previously, Su Changkong had gone to the Pill Saint Residence at Heavenly Saint Mountain, hoping to obtain a recipe, but was told that the Pill Saint Residence simply did not have the authority to teach others their recipes.
But now that Su Changkong was a Guest Elder for the Jiang Family, he believed it wouldn’t be a problem to get his hands on a Holy Pill Recipe provided he requested it.
Although it was still a matter of owing someone a favor, compared to directly asking for Primordial Liquid, this favor seemed smaller and more acceptable.
"Let’s go see Jiang Yao."
Su Changkong made up his mind.
He immediately rose and visited Black Moon Cave Mansion.
Inside the Black Moon Cave Mansion, the full moon hung high, creating a beautiful night scene, tranquil as ever.
"Elder Su, it seems you’ve made quite some progress recently."
Jiang Yao welcomed Su Changkong, saying with a beaming smile.
Jiang Yao was aware that not long ago, Su Changkong had most likely achieved a breakthrough.
"Mm, there has been some minor progress."
Su Changkong nodded slightly.
Had it not been for the True Soul Banner with the soul of a True Beast given by the Jiang Family, Su Changkong’s advancement in the Five Animal Frolics would certainly not have been so smooth!
Then, without beating around the bush, Su Changkong stated his intent: "Mountain Leader Jiang, I am here to request some Holy Pill Recipes to study alchemy..."
"Elder Su understands alchemy as well?"
Jiang Yao was slightly surprised but not too shocked.
Saint Warriors lived long lives, often surviving for hundreds of years, and many Saint Warriors spent time studying other professions such as artifact refining, formations, alchemy, and so on. However, most only dabbled—it takes a tremendous amount of time, effort, and resources to achieve great success in any one field.
Holy Pill Recipes were incredibly valuable to any power.
However, Jiang Yao readily agreed: "No problem, the Holy Pill Recipe can be given to you. I’ll have Old Liu deliver it to your Cave Mansion within three days."
"Thank you, Mountain Leader Jiang."
Su Changkong expressed his gratitude.
Jiang Yao agreed so readily to give Su Changkong the Holy Pill Recipe largely because not only was Su Changkong a Guest Elder for the Jiang Family, but he had also sealed a Mighty Divine Mountain Oath of Blood. By giving the recipe to Su Changkong, the Jiang Family wouldn’t suffer any loss, and Su Changkong wouldn’t betray them due to the oath.
Having achieved his goal, Su Changkong bid farewell and left.
Watching Su Changkong’s departing figure, Jiang Yao murmured softly to himself, "He wants to rely on alchemy to support his cultivation?"
Jiang Yao could guess why Su Changkong wanted the Holy Pill Recipe, and he understood Su Changkong’s choice to earn cultivation resources through alchemy rather than directly demanding them from the Xia Yan family.
Relying on refining a large amount of Primordial Liquid to grow Divine Patterns was too extravagant, even for Jiang Yao, who was among the Jiang Family’s elite with exceptional talent and a limitless future—his annual share of Primordial Liquid provided by the family was limited.
To garner more resources for cultivation, Jiang Yao chose to oversee Skyfire City and Heavenly Saint Mountain, where he held the position of Mountain Master.
The resources required to nurture a Divine Seed to its ultimate potential increased geometrically, and Jiang Yao had brought the Divine Patterns of his three Divine Seeds to their limits, an endeavor that consumed a vast amount of cultivation resources!
To forge a Divine Body and achieve Great Achievement, the cultivation resources needed were hundreds or even hundreds of times more than those required for a Saint Warrior with Divine Seeds!
This was why only Ancient Holy Country could give birth to a large number of top-tier powerhouses—abundant resources breed true dragons.
Su Changkong returned to Floating Cloud Cave Mansion, and a day later, the white-haired Old Liu arrived.
Inside Floating Cloud Cave Mansion, Old Liu, with a serious expression, took out a thick book and said, "Elder Su, this is the Pill Book that the Mountain Master ordered the Pill Saint Residence to prepare. It contains some entry-level Holy Pill Recipes. After you have memorized it, you should destroy it, and remember not to disclose it to anyone."
"More than one Holy Pill Recipe?"
Su Changkong’s eyes lit up. One Holy Pill Recipe was precious enough, but now he had received a book of Holy Pill Recipes!
"Mm, rest assured, I will not reveal them to anyone."
Su Changkong nodded. Even without the Mighty Divine Mountain Oath of Blood, the Jiang Family had done nothing wrong to him, and he would never dream of leaking their Pill Recipes.
Old Liu then said, "Elder Su, if you have any other needs, you can contact me at any time."
Old Liu was one of Jiang Yao’s trusted confidants, and although he didn’t understand why Jiang Yao valued Su Changkong so much, he knew that the decision for Su Changkong to become a Guest Elder at the Jiang Family was not Jiang Yao’s to make alone, but a decision made by the Elder Council of the Jiang Family.
To become a Guest Elder for the Jiang Family was a testament to one’s abilities; Old Liu had also received instructions from Jiang Yao to fulfill Su Changkong’s requests within his capabilities!
Old Liu handed the Pill Book to Su Changkong and took his leave.
Su Changkong was eager to peruse the Pill Book in his hands that recorded the Holy Pill Recipes.
