~Pill Cauldron Peak~

“What is most important to us pill-concocting masters is learning how to think out of the box. Pills don’t necessarily have to boost the strength of the person who ingested it. One example is my version of the Ten-Bull Strength Pill,” Wu Ming spoke with confidence in the Pill Cauldron Learning Hall, giving a complicated yet accessible lecture on the principles of pill concoction.

The disciples below at their desks furiously took down notes, thinking to themselves, It’s hard to hear these precious pill concoction principles in the outside world. Pill-concocting masters in the outside world placed enormous emphasis on passing down a legacy. As the saying went, “Teach the disciple well and the shifu starves.” As such, learning the principles of pill concoction in the outside world was fraught with challenges.

It was, however, different for Pill Cauldron Peak. They wished they could impart all of their knowledge, teaching the new junior disciples their own ideas without any other regard.

The pill-concocting masters in the outside world were particular about tradition and posited that the ways of the ancestors should not be changed. Hence, there were many challenges to letting the outside world understand the principles of pill concoction on Pill Cauldron Peak.

Seeing his junior disciples listen to the lesson with rapt attention, Wu Ming was inwardly very delighted.

The Dao-Seeking Sect’s intake for this cohort didn't just include Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, Man Gu, Tao Yaoye, and Li Haoran. It was simply because they had such remarkable talent and became the center of attention in the sect, causing others to subconsciously overlook the remaining new disciples.

Apart from the five of them, there were many disciples who had a Dual Spirit Root, Triple Spirit Root, or unique skills. They would become the backbone of the Dao-Seeking Sect in the future.

The disciples attending the class were those who had chosen to become disciples of the Pill Cauldron Peak. They had studied for more than a year but were still figuring out the way of pill concoction.

“Many cultivators have the habit of ingesting pills in the heat of battle to unleash strength several times their own. The sudden eruption of power can catch opponents off guard, thereby achieving victory.

“Victory may be a good thing in itself, but such a method causes the amplified strength to surge through the meridians. However, the meridians are only so wide, and this sudden force through the meridians can cause significant damage; in severe cases, it may even be detrimental to one's cultivation.

“As pill-concocting masters, our responsibility is to treat illnesses and save lives, so we must try our best to prevent such situations from occurring. To achieve that end, I have researched painstakingly and visited a good friend specializing in summoning arrays. At long last, I invented this version of Ten-Buffalo Strength Pill.

“The pill contains a miniature summoning array. After one ingests it, it will use their body as a medium to summon ten water buffaloes to aid them in battle.”

An adorable junior female disciple who had been listening intently asked, “Senior Brother Wu, where do the water buffaloes come from?”

Wu Ming smiled. “They're summoned from the spirit fields.”

The food served in the dining halls and restaurants were mostly grown from the Dao-Seeking Sect’s own spirit fields. There were strict requirements to the soil, fertilizer, and farming methods to obtain such high-quality produce.

The Blue-Eyed Water Buffaloes worked hard in tilling the spirit fields. They were an incredibly strong race and consisted of members from the Qi Training to Nascent Soul stages. There was even an old buffalo king at the Divine Transfiguration Stage—a truly terrifying force.

When Third Elder was young, he got carried away by his fervor and shoved the buffaloes in the spirit fields away, plowing through the night. These were the buffaloes from the Blue-Eyed Water Buffalo race.

The Blue-Eyed Water Buffaloes loved to lock horns with one another, so Wu Ming contacted them to see if they were willing to be summoned during battle. They readily agreed.

“As pill-concocting masters, all of you have to be like me and put yourselves in the shoes of those consuming the pills. Think about why they want to ingest the pills, whether there are side effects, and if there is a better solution.”

Wu Ming had written a paper on his results from concocting the Ten-Buffalo Strength Pill and submitted his draft to the leading publication Pill Fire. The person in charge was flabbergasted by Wu Ming’s out-of-the-box ideas and forwarded it to the leading publication in the field of summoning.

And it was successfully published.

Wu Ming was also aware of how ahead of his time his ideas were and that he needed to allow some time for cultivators to adjust, so he set a very low price for the Foundation Establishment Ten-Bull Strength Pill, only requiring a hundred contribution points.

To put that into perspective, even the youtiao in the dining hall cost one hundred and fifty contribution points.

Wu Ming was also thorough in his consideration. He stated the effects of the pill on the redemption list: ingesting this grants the strength of ten buffaloes.

~~~

Lu Yang fell into deep thought.

Even if I say that this pill is fake, it does grant the person who consumes it the strength of ten bulls. The description and its effects align perfectly.

But if I say that this pill is real, it feels like there's something off about it.

What exactly went wrong?

I can't figure it out.

The ten Foundation Establishment water buffaloes were strong and sturdy. In an orderly fashion, they charged toward the tiger demon in a display of power.

Faced against these fierce buffaloes, even if the Half-Step Golden Core tiger demon was at the Golden Core Stage, it still wouldn't dare to take a hit from the herd. No matter how much the tiger demon’s strength grew, it was still not a match for the buffalo demons.

Lu Yang couldn't help but be reminded of the saying again. Although the Pill Cauldron Peak isn't reliable, they have never gone wrong with their pill’s potency. The summoned ten buffaloes can definitely defeat the tiger demon.

Man Gu and Meng Jingzhou subconsciously relaxed.

The outcome was already determined; the tiger demon couldn't turn the tide.

With its eyes widened and hair bristling, it seemed that the tiger demon also knew that it couldn't defeat the ten water buffaloes.

If that's the case, then I'll drag someone down with me!

Just then, a loud crash reverberated through the air. The Mountain God Temple had collapsed. The temple was originally on the brink of collapsing, and the herd of ten water buffaloes took it down with one hit.

For a while, the smoke and pouring rain blended together, obscuring everyone's view.

The tiger demon seized this opportunity, leaping high up and dodging the buffaloes’ attack and springing right towards Lu Yang as swift as lightning!

This human must die!

As the water buffaloes were cumbersome and not adept at jumping, they couldn't react in time.

Man Gu and Meng Jingzhou cried out in shock. They had let down their guard and didn't have enough time to save Lu Yang.

Everyone except Lu Yang was panic-stricken. He remained composed as he had long guessed that the tiger demon would fight to the death and take himself down with it.

After all, a cornered beast is the most dangerous!

Lu Yang didn't dodge. Instead, he used the spell “To Inches,” shrinking himself and the sword.

The tiger demon missed, and Lu Yang appeared directly below it. He returned to his original size, and the cyan spirit energy in his sword concentrated at its tip.

“Break!”

Lu Yang unleashed the Breaking Word Mantra. His sharp Qingfeng Sword was unstoppable, piercing through the tiger demon’s thick hair and right into its abdomen with a squelch. The tip of the sword was covered in blood as it emerged from the other side of the tiger demon.

This was a sword technique he had learned at Heaven’s Gate Peak. Among all sword techniques, this possessed the strongest offense. Just this one blow drained half of his spirit energy. It was to be used with discretion.

During the battle earlier, Lu Yang had already identified the tiger demon’s weakness—only the center of its abdomen had the weakest defense.

Releasing the azure sword qi as fine as buffalo hair, they bloomed within the tiger demon’s body like countless long needles piercing through it. Crackling sounds like fireworks echoed from within the tiger demon, trailing up its spine and rushing toward the top of its head.

With blood flowing from its seven orifices, the tiger demon fell to the ground.

Exhausted and panting, Lu Yang leaned against the wall and signaled for Man Gu and Meng Jingzhou to assist Lan Ting in finishing off the remaining demon.

Upon seeing her husband dead, the female tiger demon became even more ferocious, intent on fighting to the death. Lan Ting could barely suppress this cornered beast.

Before Man Gu and Meng Jingzhou joined in the new battle, the water buffaloes turned to charge toward the female tiger demon. Unable to dodge in time, the female tiger demon was trampled into a bloody mess.

The battle was over.

Lan Ting’s jaw dropped and was reminded of the strange rumors her senior sisters had mentioned about the Dao-Seeking Sect. Initially skeptical, she now believed seven-tenth of it.
