My Martial Arts Level Never Drops

Chapter 372: Chapter 181: Contribution

”Is it for cultivating that ’Body Technique Leaf Skill’?”

Elder Gu asked, raising an eyebrow.

Qin Fang naturally nodded.

”Wind-Chasing Spiritual Liquid is sold at the Pill Pavilion. The people inside the Pill Pavilion are basically all disciples of our Guiyuan Lineage. Just go and ask.”

Elder Gu pointed him in the right direction.

Qin Fang was stunned at first, but understanding quickly dawned on him...

’...I’m such an idiot.’

’This ’Mirror Flower Water Moon’ wasn’t something I found by chance out in the world. I exchanged for it in the Sect’s Scripture Pavilion!’

’Since the Sect provided it, then naturally, all sorts of things to assist cultivation like Elixir Powders and Heaven and Earth Spirit Essences... they must have them!’

’...It seems I haven’t been in the Sect long enough. My mindset hasn’t shifted from that of a ’Loose Cultivator’ to a ’Sect disciple’ yet.’

’Looks like I need to adjust my thinking.’

He offered his thanks, chatted with Elder Gu for a while longer, and then took his leave.

He glanced at the sky. It had already grown dark, but Baichuan Plaza was still bustling.

Qin Fang naturally knew the location of the Pill Pavilion, and it wasn’t far from here.

The Pill Pavilion was a subordinate department under the Hundred Herbs Courtyard, a place that specialized in selling all kinds of Elixir Powders to the Sect.

Of course, the Hundred Herbs Courtyard wasn’t just the Pill Pavilion; it also managed places like the medicinal fields established by the Sect.

The Pill Pavilion was on the southern peak. Because the Pill Pavilion was here, the peak was named ’Pill Peak’. Crossing Baichuan Plaza, Qin Fang soon arrived at Pill Peak.

...Because it was already dark and the patterns on his Infinite Star Armor were black, he wasn’t as conspicuous as he had been during the day. Although he encountered many Inner Sect Disciples along the way, he didn’t cause another commotion.

The Pill Pavilion was also a large hall. As soon as he drew near, he smelled waves of medicinal fragrance.

The hall sat on a platform carved out of the peak. The ground was paved with neat white stone and lined with railings that connected all the way back to Baichuan Plaza.

The Pill Pavilion was one of the most popular areas within the Sect.

A large number of Inner Sect Disciples came here to purchase the Elixir Powders they needed for their cultivation.

...When it came to how much Elixir Powders could help a Martial Artist, few people had more of a right to speak on the matter than Qin Fang...

After all, his current level of cultivation was basically built up by relying on Elixirs and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures!

The time he had spent truly cultivating without consuming anything was very, very short...

’...I know my own situation best.’

’Others saw that I broke through the Divine Gate at such a young age and thought my Talent was extraordinary.’

’But in reality, without Elixirs, my cultivation progress would be excruciatingly slow!’

’...It’s just that the effects of the Eternal Dao Fruit seem a bit too heaven-defying, which is what allowed me to display a terrifying Talent far beyond ordinary people... and how I muddle-headedly became a Hall Master’s True Inheritance.’

’So...’

’Besides the Wind-Chasing Spirit Medicine, the supporting Elixir Powders for the ’Nine-Layered Abyss Water Armor’ and ’Celestial River Reversal,’ I also need some medicines to aid my True Essence cultivation... Although their effect probably won’t be as good as the Cold Cave on Old Ox Back, they should still speed up my progress a little.’

Hearing Master Gu describe the Five Realms today filled Qin Fang’s heart with motivation, but also a sense of urgency...

’...Right now, I probably haven’t even fully stepped into the First Realm.’

’From the description, what I obtained of the Profound Nether True Water Scripture is only the content for the First Layer of the True Essence Realm... There’s more content that I need to exchange for.’

’But the only prompt that appears on the panel is ’Profound Nether True Water Scripture’... I’ll probably need to cultivate it to Perfection, which should be equivalent to entering the Second Realm...’

’When the time comes to cultivate the content of the Second Layer... it should stack on top.’

There were three abilities of the panel that he currently understood.

The first was ’Eternal Dao Fruit’, which was self-explanatory.

The second was that every time he broke through a Small Realm, he would get one chance for an Epiphany.

The third was that the panel could possibly allow him to perfectly absorb the medicinal power of Elixirs...

Beyond that, he found it a bit confusing.

For example, when he cultivated the Pile Method, the description for ’Mental Pile’ only appeared after he reached Perfection.

Before that, it hadn’t displayed anything at all.

When his Body Refining entered the Inner Refining stage, the entry for Wild Bull Hundred Forgings appeared...

So, it seemed quite normal for things to change.

’...This Golden Finger doesn’t seem to be omniscient and omnipotent.’

It changed based on what Qin Fang currently knew and had learned.

Lost in thought, he had unknowingly walked into the Pill Pavilion.

The inside of the Pill Pavilion was a scene of bustling activity, and it was extremely bright.

There were no fire sources, but a soft white light emanated from the floor, the hall’s walls, and the dome, making it as bright as day.

Qin Fang looked around curiously and discovered a long counter inside the hall. The counter was suffused with a white light, clearly protected by an Array.

Behind the counter, quite a few disciples were responsible for serving customers, while outside, even more Inner Sect Disciples were consulting and purchasing the Elixir Powders they needed.

The place was very noisy.

When Qin Fang entered, no one had noticed him yet; everyone was busy with their own affairs.

Until...

”Could it be... Senior Brother Qin?”

Qin Fang heard the voice and turned to look, only to see an Inner Sect Disciple staring at him in surprise.

When he turned his head, the disciple’s eyes immediately lit up. He quickly bowed and said, ”Greetings, Senior Brother Qin!”

Qin Fang’s mind turned slightly, and he recalled, ”It’s... Junior Brother Song.”

He was actually an acquaintance—one of the three disciples from the Council Pavilion on his first day in the valley.

At that time, there were three disciples in total: one named Zhang, one named Li, and this one, named Song.

’His name seems to be... Song Shu?’

”Senior Brother Qin, you still remember me?”

Hearing Qin Fang call out his surname, the disciple was clearly a little excited, his eyes shining brightly.

Qin Fang nodded and smiled. ”Junior Brother Song Shu... that’s right, isn’t it?”

”Yes, yes... Senior Brother has a great memory!” Song Shu nodded hurriedly.
