Chapter 2930: Chapter 53: Wang Shouzhe Convinces Taoist Master with Reason

...

Therefore, even for Wang Shouzhe, it was a headache, more monks than porridge.

But in any case, both Ruolan and Shou Ye must have one pill each.

The former is the matriarch of the Wang family, who has earned countless merits for the family and has saved the day numerous times in critical moments. There’s no way she would miss out on the Dao Yuan Pill.

And Shou Ye is on the path of alchemy; the stronger his bloodline, the higher-grade Dan medicine he can refine, laying a foundation for the family’s development. Relying on external supplies for high-grade Dan medicine is ultimately unstable and unreliable.

However, the pill for Ruolan could be slightly delayed. Wang Shouzhe had long decided to competitively buy one in the black market of the Southern Blaze Divine Continent. This one would be a gift from Wang Shouzhe, making it more meaningful.

The remaining two pills could only be placed in the family treasure house, marked with an astronomical merit points value, to see everyone’s own attitude.

As for the Old Ancestor Longyan, who has contributed the most to the family, isn’t there still a Primary Ice Spirit Root?

While Wang Shouzhe was pondering, on the other side, Taoist Master Taichu had already struck while the iron was hot, taking advantage of the heat to start a simulated refinement of the Primary Ice Dao Pill.

However, the Primary Ice Dao Pill only works on ice-attributed bloodlines, belonging to a niche category of Dao Pill, and its main material, Primary Ice Spirit Root, is far rarer than the Dao Yuan Pill. In his ten thousand years of life, this was only the second cauldron, and he failed directly on the previous one.

After carefully preparing for some time and optimizing the process to the best of his knowledge, Taoist Master Taichu then entered the alchemy phase with anxiety on the sidelines.

Whether by luck or due to an actual improvement in his alchemy skills, this cauldron of Primary Ice Dao Pill was eventually refined successfully.

Of course, only one pill was formed in the end!

In terms of value, this was not a loss.

In fact, because the Primary Ice Dao Pill belongs to a niche category of Dao Pill, its rarity makes it more valuable, and theoretically, there was a profit.

Before refinement, Taoist Master Taichu felt that at most he had a forty to fifty percent chance of success. Who would’ve thought that both cauldrons would turn out so smoothly?

This made Taoist Master Taichu itch in his heart and hands, wishing he had more Dao Pills to refine.

Wang Shouzhe also seized the opportunity, immediately inviting Taoist Master Taichu back to the Valley of Staying Immortals, treating him with exceptional respect, ”Senior Hongzhen is indeed the number one Alchemist of our East Xia God Continent. Shouzhe, on behalf of the entire Divine Martial Wang family, thanks Senior for your great kindness.”

As he spoke, he took out a vial of the Immortal Bloodline Talent Improvement Fluid Essence Version, handing it to Taoist Master Taichu, ”A small token of appreciation, not worth mentioning.”

”What is this?” Taoist Master Taichu asked with slight doubt.

”This is the Immortal-grade Bloodline Enhancement Fluid Essence Version invented by the Crystal Ancient Tribe. In terms of improving bloodline talent, it is a notch better than the Eleventh Grade Manifest Sacred Pill, yet slightly inferior to the Twelfth Grade Dao Yuan Pill,” Wang Shouzhe explained. ”It’s the supreme treasure our Wang family acquired while exploring the Realm of Ruin.”

”What? So it is such a rare treasure.” Taoist Master Taichu was shocked. ”In our long history, we have sporadically obtained some Blood Improvement Liquid from ruins, but they have been extremely rare in recent hundreds of thousands of years.”

Its effect may not compare to the Dao Yuan Pill, but it can be used without drug resistance stacking with Manifest Sacred Pills, Dao Yuan Pills, etc. Its overall value may not compare to the Dao Yuan Pill, but it is a priceless treasure.

”No wonder, no wonder many of your Wang family members have such high bloodlines; you did receive a legacy from the Crystal Ancient Tribe.” Taoist Master Taichu, snapping back from his joy, looked at Wang Shouzhe with slight suspicion, ”Aren’t you afraid that freely displaying this treasure will bring disaster?”

”Senior Hongzhen,” Wang Shouzhe said with a solemn expression, ”If it were someone else, would Shouzhe casually bring it out? But who are you? You are the selfless Taoist Master Taichu who has guarded the human race for ten thousand years. If even you would harbor malicious intent for this treasure, then what hope is there for our human civilization? We might as well let the Demonic Clan or Crystal Ancient Tribe destroy us early.”

Taoist Master Taichu glanced at Wang Shouzhe.

Although he knew Wang Shouzhe was flattering him, he had to admit that Wang Shouzhe’s words resonated with him deeply, making him feel quite comfortable.

Indeed, he had dedicated his life to diligently managing the Primordial Taoist Palace and guarding the entire East Xia human race, expending untold efforts, driven by an unwavering belief.

Over the years, he had suffered countless injuries, large and small, and during his last battle with the Nirvana Buddha Master, those injuries were considered minor.

”Even so, I don’t believe you’d be so kind, Shouzhe boy. If you use such a rare treasure as compensation, you must have some plot.” Taoist Master Taichu, though speaking skeptically, was quick to grab the Immortal Essence Version without any courtesy and started examining it closely through the bottle.

”Speak up, you smooth-talking pretty boy, what mischief are you up to now?”

Although he had long internally accepted it, he still harbored some resentment over his senior sister’s reincarnation being wooed by this wily boy.

He always felt that Wang Shouzhe was too glib and not cut from the same cloth as someone like him, an honest man.

”Don’t misunderstand, Senior. Shouzhe only thought that on this trip to the Southern Blaze Divine Continent, we should purchase as much Spiritual Medicine for refining various Dao Pills as possible. If Senior gets more practice, you might stabilize three pills per cauldron,” Wang Shouzhe said with great emotion, ”If so, we wouldn’t fear purchasing Void Dao Yuan Fruits worldwide at a premium. If forty Chaos Spirit Stones are not enough, we offer fifty or sixty! We can even trade two Twelfth Grade Dao Yuan Pills for one Void Dao Yuan Fruit.”
