“Ah, what is all this…”
After leaving the North Sea, Jiang Liu looked at the Ink Blood in his storage space and sighed helplessly, shaking his head.
Although a level 87 Golden BOSS is powerful, with my disciples and me teaming up, defeating him wasn’t really a pressure.
Then, we took the Ink Blood and left effortlessly.
But now?
Though we acquired the Ink Blood, we ended up owing Molong Ji a favor.
Using the terminology of the Primordial, did I owe Molong Ji a cause and effect?
But there was no helping it, I had mentioned wanting the Ink Blood, and Molong Ji had actively given it to me—I couldn’t just refuse it, could I?
“Master, what next?
Should I, Old Sun, go find the Jade Emperor Old Man to borrow his Vermilion Pen?”
As Jiang Liu was silently contemplating, Sun Wukong suddenly spoke up and asked Jiang Liu.
“Wukong, the Jade Emperor’s Vermilion Pen isn’t so easily borrowed!” hearing Sun Wukong’s words, Jiang Liu shook his head.
The Jade Emperor, being the master of the Three Realms, isn’t exaggerating to say he manages myriad affairs daily; a Vermilion Pen, handling countless matters every day, lending it to Sun Wukong just like that?
Although the Jade Emperor indeed gives some face to Sun Wukong, his reputation is not so large as all that.
“What should we do then?
Master, do you have any ideas?” Sun Wukong naturally did not doubt Jiang Liu’s words and looked at him for guidance.
“This matter is really not easy to handle!” Jiang Liu shook his head, a troubled expression on his face.
If we were to ask outright, we definitely wouldn’t succeed, right?
But, should I offer compensation?
If the value is too low, the Jade Emperor wouldn’t even glance at it, let alone consider it—after all, as the master of the Three Realms, what treasures hasn’t he seen?
But if the value is too high, it wouldn’t be worth it for me, would it?
To borrow a Vermilion Pen and pay such a high price?
“What should I offer?” After pondering quietly to himself, Jiang Liu opened his storage space to look.
The best method, of course, would be to use something not too valuable yet rare as compensation.
But what is there that isn’t very valuable, yet is very rare to the people of the Journey to the West World?
Just when Jiang Liu was silently thinking about his problem, suddenly, flying mid-air, he sniffed slightly, smelling a scent of medicinal herbs.
Looking downward from his high perspective, he saw a large alchemy furnace in a mountain valley below, emitting a fragrance.
An old Zen Master with white, bushy beard was tending the furnace.
“Wukong, let’s go down and take a look!”
Because we were returning from the North Sea, to find a mysterious old Zen Master here in the wilds of Julu Continent, performing alchemy, sparked curiosity in Jiang Liu, prompting him to speak.
Immediately, the Journey to the West scripture-seeking team slowly descended.
Among the four major continents of Julu, the northern realm is the most chaotic, with countless demons and ghosts running rampant.
Here, a mysterious old Zen Master?
Obviously, this was no ordinary person.
This old Zen Master’s attention was entirely focused on the alchemy furnace in front of him, and although he noticed the arrival of Jiang Liu and his group, he did not even turn his head; his eyes remained tightly fixed on his furnace.
At the same time, he put his finger to his lips and shushed, making a gesture for silence.
With his mouth open, ready to greet and speak, Jiang Liu, seeing this, naturally had no intention of speaking and kept silent.
However, after landing, Jiang Liu couldn’t help but twitch his nose several times, feeling the scent of the medicinal herbs from the furnace becoming even richer, which made him very expectant.
What is being concocted in this furnace?
It smells so good?
Character Page.
While naturally curious about the situation inside the alchemy furnace, Jiang Liu was also curious about the identity of the old Zen Master, muttered to himself and pulled up the other’s character page to check.
Soon, a semi-transparent character page floated up in front of Jiang Liu.
ID: Mysterious Zen Master (Blue) (Alias).
Gender: Male.
Profession: Buddha.
Level: 86.
Equipment: …
“A pseudonym!?” Looking at the character panel in front of him, Jiang Liu’s mouth twitched slightly.
This situation reminded Jiang Liu of the time when Sun Wukong first brought Nezha to him, when Nezha had also used a pseudonym and a transformation technique, right?
At that time, there seemed to be a suffix indicating a pseudonym after the name?
Level 86 with blue quality?
That must be the cultivation level of a Daluo Golden Immortal, right?
In the Buddhist Sect, indeed, one should be entitled to the fruit position of a Buddha.
So, which Buddha used a pseudonym to appear before him?
After pondering in silence for a moment, an image reflexively popped into Jiang Liu’s mind.
Who among the Buddhist Sect has the strongest alchemy skills?
Naturally, it is the Medicine Buddha.
Moreover, more importantly, Jiang Liu had visited the Medicine Buddha Hall and had met the Medicine Buddha himself.
On the character panel, was the Medicine Buddha’s level also level 86 and blue?
“So, is this the Medicine Buddha?” After pondering silently for a moment, Jiang Liu had generally deduced the identity information of this mysterious Zen Master.
Thinking of this, Jiang Liu’s heart tightened slightly.
He remembered that Liaoxin had once told him that the Tathagata and the Medicine Buddha could hardly resist plotting against his healing potion, but for so long, there had been no definitive action, only a mention back at the Medicine Buddha Hall.
Could it be that the Medicine Buddha was finally making his move?
“All right, it’s done!” Just as Jiang Liu was deducing the identity of the old Zen Master and was on guard, suddenly, the alchemy Zen Master exclaimed joyously, interrupting Jiang Liu’s thoughts and attracting everyone’s attention.
The alchemy furnace suddenly opened and then, two elixirs bursting with golden light flew out from the alchemy furnace.
The old Zen Master looked very pleased, waved his hand, and the two elixirs directly fell into his hands, which he then stored in a most exquisite jade box.
After finishing the alchemy, the old Zen Master seemed relieved, and only then did he seem to have the inclination to focus on Jiang Liu and his companions.
After scanning Jiang Liu and the others, the old Zen Master spoke, “Little Monk, you have been watching for so long, are you also well-versed in the art of elixirs?”
“Well-versed is an overstatement, I have merely dabbled in it!” Hearing the old Zen Master’s words, Jiang Liu responded humbly, bowing his head.
“Hmm, neither arrogant nor rash, this temperament is quite good!” Seeing Jiang Liu’s demeanor, the old Zen Master was obviously satisfied, nodding slightly.
In the meantime, he presented the two elixirs in front of Jiang Liu, saying, “Since you also understand the art of elixirs, why not take a look at these two?
Evaluate them?”
Jiang Liu’s gaze fell on the two elixirs inside the jade box, naturally, the corresponding attribute information also appeared in front of him.
Transformation Dragon Pill (Consumable): Use level not below 60 and not above 70, upon consumption, gains 5 billion experience points, subsequent consumptions halve the effect.
Changing Marrow Pill (Consumable): Use level not below 70 and not above 80, upon consumption, can significantly increase personal aptitude, subsequent consumptions have no effect.
“Huh?” Observing the attribute information of these two elixirs, Jiang Liu was inwardly surprised.
The two elixirs looked similar, but they were actually different elixirs?
The Changing Marrow Pill can significantly increase personal aptitude?
This means that after consumption, cultivating the Green Lotus Taoist Scripture would yield more experience points, right?
Jiang Liu’s heart grew a bit eager.
And the Transformation Dragon Pill, with 5 billion experience points, was also a tremendous gain.
After all, the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill by the Supreme Elder Lord only provided more than 2.5 billion experience points.
In terms of the amount of experience points, the effect of the Transformation Dragon Pill was almost double that of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, and more importantly, it had absolutely no side effects.
However, the Transformation Dragon Pill was for levels between 60 and 70, but the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill was something even ordinary mortals could consume, which made its significance a bit different.
“Old Zen Master, truly skilled!” After pondering for a moment, Jiang Liu spoke, praising the old Zen Master.
“Oh?
What makes the skills so good?” Hearing Jiang Liu’s praise, the old Zen Master’s face carried a questioning expression.
“A single alchemy furnace, able to produce two elixirs with completely different effects, is truly a masterful feat, admirable!” Jiang Liu responded.
“Hmm, not bad at all, it seems that you indeed have a deep mastery in the art of elixirs, just a glance and you could tell the difference between the two pills!” Jiang Liu’s response pleased the old Zen Master, who stroked his beard and nodded slightly.
“Since you can see the difference between these two elixirs, then tell me, how effective are these elixirs?” With a somewhat testing tone, the old Zen Master asked.
“This elixir should be able to enhance cultivation levels, capable of instantly increasing them by a large margin, though its pharmacology is somewhat aggressive, only those above the Arhat Realm can withstand it, but at the Bodhisattva Realm, the effects seem minimal…”
Firstly, Jiang Liu pointed at the Transformation Dragon Pill, appearing thoughtful, and responded.
“And this elixir, it seems to change marrow, and more importantly, it works even on targets in the Bodhisattva Realm!” Following that, Jiang Liu pointed at the Changing Marrow Pill and answered.
“Good insight!
Just this insight is enough to show that your mastery of the art of elixirs is unmatched in the three realms!” Hearing Jiang Liu’s detailed explanation of the effects of the Transformation Dragon Pill and the Changing Marrow Pill, the old Zen Master loudly praised.
In the meantime, the old Zen Master took out a prescription from his own bosom, handing it over to Jiang Liu, and said, “Old Monk, I came across this prescription by chance.
Little Monk, shall we study it together?”
