Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Do You Want to Cultivate Immortality?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
For mortals to concoct pills, it’s absolutely absurd.
Pill making isn’t as simple as lighting up a fire and tossing ingredients into a pill furnace.
Even without cultivation, one needs a strong spirit, otherwise, it is impossible to make a pill.
“Oh, you’re talking about that.”
“When I was a kid herding cattle, I ran into an old man with a white beard who insisted I had an extraordinary physique. He said I was a once-in-a-million genius and forced a picture book into my hands.”
“I guessed that picture book is the problem. I became dazed after reading it and then I could make pills.”
Jiang Xiaobai spoke eloquently without blushing, he was adept at charming people.
“Where’s the picture book?” Ao Yan raised her eyebrows curiously.
“I lost it.”
“You!”
Ao Yan nearly vomited blood, she looked at Jiang Xiaobai as if he were a promising student who had disappointed her. She wished she could slap him to death.
She had carefully examined Jiang Xiaobai just a while ago, and he did not have a trace of spiritual energy on him.
So, what Jiang Xiaobai said might be true.
And Ao Yan roughly understood what the picture book Jiang Xiaobai mentioned was.
It might be an inheritance of pill making skills. But the young Jiang Xiaobai back then didn’t know what it was.
With that, the notion of mortals being able to concoct pills made sense.
Looking at Jiang Xiaobai’s confused face, Ao Yan suddenly felt a sense of regret.
It would have been great if the picture book was still around.
But she also understood that this kind of pill-making inheritance probably disappeared after being used once.
Then, Ao Yan began to size up Jiang Xiaobai again.
Did she just stumble upon a treasure?
Perhaps this was fate?
“This is quite interesting, I wonder what other special abilities you have.”
Then, Ao Yan closed her eyes and began to meditate.
The reason why she could obtain the top position in the Dragon Valley wasn’t only because of her bloodline, but also because of her endless cultivation efforts.
Otherwise, she couldn’t possibly be an unequivocal figure among the younger generation, and built a power that even surpassed Ao Tianheng by two realms!
In the early morning, when Jiang Xiaobai woke up, he found that Ao Yan was no longer in the room, so he got up and stretched his body.
He had a lot of things to do.
He managed to deceive his brother-in-law yesterday, which is part of his plan to secure his footing.
Jiang Xiaobai’s goal is simple, he needs to build a good relationship with his brother-in-law, as well as with Ao Yan, who is a decent woman. But his conquest shouldn’t be too aggressive.
Progressing too fast could lead to self-destruction.
While he didn’t expect his brother-in-law to follow his orders, at the very least, he should be on his side.
Of course, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t expect Ao Cheng to help him in times of crisis, as individual strength couldn’t stand against the entire clan.
What he needed now, was Ao Cheng’s help, which would enable him to do more.
Meanwhile, he had to deal with numerous troubles, both openly and secretly.
As he pondered, Jiang Xiaobai produced a round pill from his hand.
The pill exuded a formidable aura, and it’s much more powerful than any he had made before.
What he held in his hands now was a godly quality Tianyuan Hun Lingdan, the reward from yesterday’s system.
With the art of pill making from Laozi, he instantly recognized that this pill was primarily used for healing, and its effect was extraordinarily powerful.
Perhaps this might come in handy.
At this moment, Ao Yan suddenly entered.
“Come with me.”
Ao Yan said softly, her attitude towards Jiang Xiaobai remained aloof.
Jiang Xiaobai immediately got up, he knew that this trip was of utmost importance!
He followed Ao Yan out of the courtyard, walking down the mountain.
Off the mound, it’s then Jiang Xiaobai got a clear understanding of what the Dragon Valley looked like.
This place was the territory of a large clan, the first place Jiang Xiaobai entered after descending the mountain was a massive square. The bustling square was full of dragons.
There were numerous buildings in the square, he had no idea what they were used for.
Surrounded by dozens of mountains, dragon clans usually lived in different peaks based on their branches. Among them, a towering mountain stood out prominently.
And their destination was just there.
Following Ao Yan through Dragon Valley, Jiang Xiaobai stood out like a bare woman, exceptionally eye-catching.
No matter where he went, pairs of eyes were always watching him.
A dense mocking and contemptuous look lay at the bottom of their eyes.
Simply because he was the only mundane individual in Dragon Valley.
Soon, the two arrived on the mountainside of the tall peak, where Jiang Xiaobai saw a grand hall, and all the way up, there were small pavilions emitting a terrible aura everywhere.
This place should gather more than ninety percent of the strong people in Dragon Valley.
Right above the grand hall, a plaque hung with two golden characters on it.
Dragon Hall!
An imposing and primitive aura hit straight towards him, and only then did Jiang Xiaobai realize that this Dragon Hall was actually a magical treasure!
He couldn’t help but feel amazed. Dragon Valley indeed lived up to its name, epitomizing the words “wealth and extravagance.”
After entering the Dragon Hall, Ao Yan asked Jiang Xiaobai to stay put, and then she went out herself.
Jiang Xiaobai started observing his surroundings.
“Young man, come here and sit down, accompany this old man for a few drinks.”
A friendly voice passed over, and Jiang Xiaobai swiftly turned to look at a corner of the Dragon Hall.
He saw a short, plump elder with rosy and amiable complexion, white beard and eyebrows, waving at him.
He did not show any disdain or mockery towards Jiang Xiaobai. Instead, he was like a kind-hearted grandfather from next door.
So, Jiang Xiaobai went over to him.
“Your alcohol tolerance is quite impressive, kid. You drank a whole round yesterday and yet nothing happened.” The short and fat old man chuckled as he poured a glass of wine for each of them.
The aroma of the wine was strong, filling the grand hall.
But Jiang Xiaobai didn’t have the heart to savor it carefully.
“You’re joking, old man, how could my drinking capacity compare to yours?” Jiang Xiaobai laughed nervously.
He knew that the person in front of him, whether in strength or status within Dragon Valley, was far beyond his imagination.
He ought to be cautious when dealing with such an entity.
The plump elder nodded with a slight smile, drank up the fine wine in his glass, and made a comfortable noise.
“I’m not a man who likes to beat around the bush. Yan’er told me that you, with a mortal body, can concoct medicinal pills, and can even make a Lingdan that neutralizes fire poison?”
On hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai’s expression became more solemn, here it comes.
He nodded immediately.
“Indeed.”
Ao Yuanwu narrowed his eyes, “Do you know the function and significance of the pill you concocted?”
“I don’t know.”
“Let me make it clear to you, it’s very important, and for Dragon Valley, it’s exceedingly important.”
As he spoke, Ao Yuanwu kept observing Jiang Xiaobai’s expression.
He saw that Jiang Xiaobai didn’t appear overly surprised, but rather calm.
“We didn’t ask you to come this time just for the pill concocting matter, let me ask you, do you want to cultivate immortality?”
Only then did Jiang Xiaobai’s face show a surprised and shocked expression.
My goodness, just because of one Huaqing Pill, this old man wanted him to truly become a member of Dragon Valley?
It seemed unlikely, but all he could do now was to pretend to be shocked.
“Can I… cultivate immortality too?”
“Of course.” Ao Yuanwu replied with a smile, “As long as you’re willing, Dragon Valley can train you. After all, how can a pill concocting person have no cultivation?”
“I’m more than willing, a hundred times willing!”
Jiang Xiaobai scratched his head: “But I’ve heard that cultivating immortality requires aptitude. I don’t know if my aptitude is acceptable.”
“Give me your hand and let me see.”
Ao Yuanwu grabbed Jiang Xiaobai’s wrist and realized that Jiang Xiaobai actually had a top-grade spiritual root!
Spiritual roots are categorized into lower, middle, and upper, as well as divine, immortal, and ultimate levels.
The higher the grade of the spiritual root, the better one’s aptitude for cultivation!
With a top-grade spiritual root, Jiang Xiaobai, as an ordinary man, already had quite a good aptitude.
“Not bad at all. In future, you will cultivate with Elder Sanzhang.”
