Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens-Chapter 394 - 29 Jiang Li
Chapter 394 -29 Jiang Li
Medical Skill Sect, also known as Medicine Sect, where the leaders practice the grand path of medicine, save the world by healing, and impart medical knowledge. All physicians under the heavens are governed by it.
The grandteacher Shennong, emerged from Shennong Mountain, tasted hundreds of herbs, tested thousands of medicines, wrote the compendium of all medicines, thus comprehending the fragments of the heavens, founded the sect and took disciples from all over.
For a long time, Medicine Sect had its headquarters at Shennong Mountain. Later, the seventh generation Qingtian Emperor of the Tianli Dynasty sincerely invited them and built a medicine hall for them, widely accepting disciples which eventually led to their relocation.
Now, the headquarters is located in Tianli City, less than a hundred miles from the Citizen Registration Office.
Elder Jiang Li is one of the four elders of the Medicine Sect, in charge of the pill forging branch of the medical path, the most famous medicine fanatic. On the entire mainland, any physician who practices pill forging is essentially his disciple or grand-disciple.
Because of this, not to mention the Medicine Sect, even throughout the entire world, he holds an extremely high status, so much so that even Emperor Fusheng, inviting him as a guest, couldn’t persuade him to come if he decided not to – no one dares to utter any nonsense about it.

...
Because of his madness in pill forging, he is also jokingly known as Elder Yao Feng.
At this moment, Elder Yao Feng, his hair dirty and disheveled, stands in front of a cauldron, looking at a small bottle of pills.
In front of him stand three disciples, all white-haired, around the age of sixty. Should anyone else from the Medicine Sect be here, they would certainly recognize them as elders, holding very high positions.
“Please, teacher, name it!”
Elder Yao Yun, with a constipated expression, took a long time before finally bowing and making a fist salute.
Everyone knows the teacher inherently sucks at naming, yet he likes naming medicines… Anytime a new medicine is created, if they don’t come to him, he gets angry.
These past days, the three brothers have just tested a good medicine, and although they already have an idea, they still brought it over.
Facing the obedient acts of his three disciples, Jiang Li nodded in satisfaction, took out a pill, brought it close to his nose, and after a satisfying sniff, nodded again.
“This pill contains thirteen medicinal materials. Among them, Pei Xu Grass which weakens one’s body, depletes energy and blood. Hongying Grass causes one’s blood to stagnate; Luo Huan Grass causes one’s spirit to weaken, making them tired and wanting to sleep… These herbs, combined with the balancing properties of Cold Spirit Flower, after taking it, a cultivator below Life Sea 2-dan will immediately turn ashen-faced, looking like a corpse… Perfect for playing dead to deceive the heavenly law! Therefore, let’s name this pill[Face Green Pill]!”
Elder Yao Yun’s forehead veins involuntarily twitched a few times, and he hastily spoke up: “Teacher, since it can make one appear dead, why not name it Turtle Breath Pill or Soul Hiding Pill, which sound better…?”
“A bad name is easier to keep alive, the worse it sounds, the easier it is to remember. Alright, it’s called Face Green Pill! Don’t talk about other names anymore!”
Jiang Li waved his hand: “Is there anything else? If not, don’t disturb me continuing to forge pills. I’m currently testing the fourth method of processing Earth Nether Grass, Earth Nether Blue! Once I’ve tested all seven colors and see which effects are best, I’ll promote that one…”
Hearing their teacher’s name, Elder Yao Yun once again felt helpless.
Regarding the pills forged with Earth Nether Grass as the main ingredient, so far, three types have been designed, and teacher named them… Earth Nether Green, Earth Nether Purple, and Earth Nether Yellow!
Randomly naming them by color, isn’t that too playful? And most importantly… does it sound good?
Despite feeling frustrated, he knew that naming was the teacher’s hobby. As disciples, they had no right to deprive him of this, and immediately bowed: “Teacher, the properties of Earth Nether Grass are fierce, incompatible with other medicinal materials, perhaps… let’s not continue experimenting, I’m afraid it’s a waste of effort and time…”
“Shut up!”
Jiang Li waved his hand: “What do you know! There’s so much Earth Nether Grass. If it can be formulated into perfect pills, it could forge tens of thousands of high-grade medicines… With so many medicines, think how many people it can benefit, how many experts it can cultivate…”
“Yes…”
Seeing the madness in his teacher’s eyes, Yao Yun could only stop persuading, bowed again, and was just about to leave the room with his two junior brothers when a young attendant hurriedly walked in.
“Elder Jiang… Elder Brother Bian is seeking an audience!”
“Let him in! My Earth Nether Blue has just been perfected, let him find someone to test how the medicine reacts, this might also help improve it…”
Jiang Li’s eyes brightened.
This Bian Zhongwen, with average talent in pill forging, was suited for handling interpersonal relations, hence he was assigned to seek out Drug Testers using the weapon cauldron. Unexpectedly, his endeavor was hugely successful; within just a few years, he experimented with thousands of Medicinal Materials, yielding tens of thousands of results and evaluations.
Based on this, he successfully forged numerous precious pills, earning countless Merit Points for the Medicine Sect.
Not long after the attendant left, Bian Zhongwen entered, spotting Elder Yao Yun and others standing at the doorstep, and promptly bowed deeply before approaching.
“Elder Jiang…”
“Perfect timing, did you bring the testing experience for Earth Nether Yellow? Let me see, how was it recorded!”
Jiang Li casually waved his hand.
“Yes…”
Bian Zhongwen paused for a moment and then handed over a sheet of paper.
“Just this much?”
Jiang Li frowned.
He had provided the Earth Nether Yellow some time ago, and under normal circumstances, there should have been dozens or even hundreds of testers, each writing a piece, amounting to several dozen papers. Yet, why were there only a few brief lines?
“Reporting back to the elder, the potency of Earth Nether Yellow is too fierce. Many cultivators after consuming it couldn’t sustain physically and fell unconscious, therefore, hardly any left their experience…”
Bian Zhongwen was embarrassed.
He dared not say everyone was poisoned to death; otherwise, his worth would be null, potentially leading to his elimination.
Although the one before him cared not for the life or death of testers, with the massive gate teeming with strong individuals, a slight slip in words could lead others to tread over him.
“Oh, is that so…”
Jiang Li didn’t doubt him further, glanced at the paper in his hand, and immediately, his eyes filled with anger as he flung his arm.
“Is this the feedback you got from people testing the drug? Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!”
With that, he threw the paper, which struck Bian Zhongwen’s face.
Bian Zhongwen went pale and dared not move at all.
Elder Yao Yun and two juniors exchanged glances, curiously grabbed the paper, and also involuntarily twitched their eyelids after a glance.
It read two comments:
“This Earth Nether Yellow has a somewhat bitter taste, not very pleasant to drink. If a stem of Ice Licorice is added to improve the taste, perhaps it would be better…”
“This medicine is not refined smoothly enough, and its color is not quite appealing. If Ice Crystal Grass is added to make the surface of the pill more crystalline, perhaps it would look prettier!”
“…”
Not far away, two other elders likewise saw the contents.
They are often accustomed to reading testing feedback focusing mainly on personal experiences but seeing comments on the bitterness and unattractive appearance of the medicine was certainly a first…
