Chapter 13
Becoming A Permanent Disciple In Advance
“Burp–!”
Cheng Xu, who had eaten and drunk his fill, let out a burp. He was instantly refreshed and full of energy.
“Is there anything else that you need, Martial Nephew?” Perfected Dan Yang and the others looked at Cheng Xu expectantly. They had long since regarded him as a disciple of the Medicine Immortal Valley.
As for the attitude of the Yunzhong sect, what did it have to do with them?
“Nothing else, burp ~!”
Cheng Xu looked at the handsome old man in front of him and was secretly surprised.
He didn’t expect that the sect leader’s disciples were not only good at fighting, but also had such an outstanding image.
Given Senior Brother Tang’s handsome figure, the sect leader’s line of disciples should not only be talented but also good-looking.
“If that’s the case, then can you tell us what you’ve comprehended from the ancestral master’s stone tablet, Martial Nephew?” Perfected Dan Yang’s eyes glowed, and the other elders beside him also looked at him expectantly.
“Two Spells of Truth.”
“Spells of Truth?” Everyone was secretly surprised.
The mustached elder’s eyes lit up. “That’s right, that’s right. I remember Master once mentioned that the Grandmaster used Spells of Truth to suppress all the major sects of mini Southern Heaven.”
“Little Martial Nephew, quick, quick, quick, tell us what kind of two spells are these?”
Cheng Xu took a deep breath and said solemnly, ” I can only say that our ancestors were definitely geniuses blessed by the heavens. These two Spells of Truth are medicinal law incantations, and they are constructed with medicinal theory as the foundation. The higher one’s attainments in medicinal theory, the more powerful the power of the incantations can be unleashed.”
Everyone present gasped in shock. “No wonder the founding master established the sect through alchemy.”
“So there’s such a profound spell in the world!”
“It seems like it’s not that alchemists are not suited for battle, but rather that we juniors are too slow-witted.”
Cheng Xu added, “However, it seems that there are only two incantations in that stone tablet. They are the ‘poison’ and ‘Qi’ incantations. By the way, are you sure that the Grandmaster only left this stone tablet behind?”
“There’s indeed only this one piece. I’m afraid that the founder didn’t master the complete medicinal incantation back then,” said Perfected Dan Yang with absolute certainty.
“I see.” Cheng Xu couldn’t help but feel a little regretful.
“But even if it’s just two Spells of Truth, it’s enough to make the founder dominate the entire Southern Heaven. “I wonder if Martial Nephew can write down the incantation of the medicinal mantra?” Perfected Dan Yang asked excitedly.
For a moment, everyone looked at Cheng Xu with anticipation.
Cheng Xu smiled and nodded.
Firstly, the medicinal mantra was the inheritance of the Medicine Immortal Valley. Secondly, this group of Uncle Masters were also excellent alchemists, and could exert the power of the medicinal mantra, especially his master, Perfected Chi Yao.
If he could comprehend the medicinal mantra, not only would he be able to take off the label of being a weakling, he might even be able to soar into the sky and have explosive combat power!
His current strength was still very weak, and he would inevitably have to rely on the care of his Uncle Masters in the future.
But then again, even if he wrote down the incantation of the medicinal mantra, the Uncle Masters might not be able to comprehend it.
One had to know that he had crashed for more than ten days just to install two incantations!
If an ordinary person didn’t have any comprehension ability, it would be very difficult for them to comprehend the medicinal mantra.
In this way, under the silent anticipation of the crowd, Cheng Xu seriously engraved the two incantations of the medicinal mantra on a Jade slip and solemnly handed it to the sect leader, Perfected Dan Yang.
Perfected Dan Yang didn’t waste any words and made a copy for each of his senior and junior brothers on the spot.
“Martial Nephew, Martial Nephew, you really are my Medicine Immortal Valley’s lucky star! From now on, you are a disciple of the Medicine Immortal Valley.” Perfected Dan Yang was grinning from ear to ear. “As for the Yunzhong sect, the Uncle Masters will help you with it.”
“In the future, if you have any problems, just tell us directly. We guarantee that we’ll arrange everything for you!” The other elders chimed in.
Seeing this, Cheng Xu tried to ask, “If you want to put it this way… I really does have a matter that I need to trouble you with, Uncle Masters.”
“What is it?”
“I wonder where I can get Earth Spirit Essences?” Cheng Xu asked.
“Earth Spirit Essences? Isn’t that a material for forging? What do you want that for?”
Seeing that Cheng Xu was mumbling and didn’t want to say anything, the Uncle Masters didn’t force him.
“Earth Spirit Essences aren’t very common. We don’t have any in the sect, but I think there are many in the Scorching Sun Sect. I’ll leave this to Uncle Master. How much do you need?” Elder Ma patted his chest and promised.
“About ten should be enough.”
“How can 10 be enough? I’ll give the Scorching Sun Sect some profit when I place an order. I’ll give you dozens of them.” Elder Ma waved his hand, exuding the aura of a business big shot.
“Do you have any other requests?” asked Perfected Dan Yang.
“No.”
“How about this… I’ve decided to give you 10,000 contribution points, which should be enough for you to spend for a long time.”
As he spoke, he took out his elder’s token and transferred 10,000 contribution points to Cheng Xu, causing him to be stunned.
He had originally wanted to earn money through refining elixirs, but he did not expect to directly achieve financial freedom.
“That’s right, Martial Nephew, Uncle Master just took a look at the incantation gesture. I don’t think I’ll be able to comprehend the true meaning within it for a while.” Spirit Herb Hall’s Elder Feng muttered, “”Come, cast two incantations on us and let us feel it.”
“That won’t be good, will it?” Cheng Xu said hesitantly.
“It’s fine. Do you think you can hurt us?” Perfected Dan Yang waved his hand and said with a smile.
After that, the higher-ups of the Medicine Immortal Valley retreated a distance away and motioned for Cheng Xu to cast a spell on them.
Cheng Xu took a deep breath, focused his mind, and circulated the toxic word mantra before he spat it out.
“Poison!”
His voice was as deep as an ancient bell, reverberating throughout the entire library cave.
In an instant, the word “toxic” in ancient seal script appeared out of thin air above Cheng Xu’s head, exuding an uncomfortable and dangerous aura.
In front of them, the faces of Perfected Dan Yang and the others all turned pale and their lips turned slightly purple.
Since they wanted to feel the effect of the mantra, they didn’t put up any defenses.
Fortunately, their cultivation was profound, so the poison couldn’t hurt them.
“Eh?”
Cheng Xu, who had used the toxic word mantra, was also shocked.
It was because the moment he used the mantra with the word ‘poison’, there seemed to be a strange power in his body that seemed to amplify the power of the mantra.
“Could it be a sound card? That’s right, it must be a sound card!”
At this thought, Cheng Xu was overjoyed.
Then, he used the Qi word.
“Qi!”
Along with Cheng Xu’s low cry, an ancient seal character ” Qi ” suddenly appeared above his head.
The faces of the crowd, who were in the midst of circulating their cultivation techniques to neutralize the poison in their bodies, changed once more. The true Qi in their bodies began to surge uncontrollably, and at the same time, their old faces turned purple.
“Wow, this power is simply-!”
Perfected Dan Yang, who had just recovered, was secretly shocked.
“If Senior Chi Yao can understand these two incantations, with his attainments in medicine, I’m afraid even late-stage Golden Core realm cultivators might not be able to withstand it, right?”
At the side, Perfected Chi Yao’s eyes flickered. In the past, he had no interest in cultivation battles, but at this moment, he was very interested in the medicinal mantra.
After all, this was a cultivation technique that was built on the foundation of medicine. He was very curious about the working principle of this technique.
On Cheng Xu’s side, he was immersed in the sound card’s amplification of the mantra spell.
According to this logic, other sound-related spells might also be enhanced by the sound card.
Similarly, all eye-related and vision-related spells could also be enhanced by the graphics card.
After that, Perfected Dan Yang and the others left in a hurry and went back to study the two medicinal law incantations.
Cheng Xu and Miao Changsheng naturally followed Perfected Chi Yao back to the cave.
“Hahaha, you can now openly stay in the Medicine Immortal Valley.” Perfected Chi Yao was extremely excited.
“With the power of those two incantations, you’re basically in the bag for the test in half a month.” “But we can’t relax either. After all, Tang Xuan has already reached the Foundation Building realm,” Perfected Chi Yao muttered as he thought to himself.
“What? Senior Brother Tang has already reached the Foundation Building realm?” Cheng Xu was shocked by the news.
“Tang Xuan’s talent is not bad. He has been at the peak of the Qi Refinement stage for more than half a year. It’s expected that he will reach the Foundation Building real. But as long as you can raise your cultivation to the peak of the Qi Refinement stage, it’s not impossible to take him down,” Perfected Chi Yao laughed and said.
Cheng Xu secretly sighed with emotion.
Why did it feel like ever since he came to the Medicine Immortal Valley, the Medicine Immortal Valley’s disciples had started to show their strength?
“Alright, go back and cultivate. I’ve asked Changsheng to prepare your cave for you. I’ll take you there.” Perfected Chi Yao waved his hand, indicating for Cheng Xu and the other man to leave. “I have to study these two medicinal incantations.”
After leaving his master’s cave abode, Cheng Xu was not in a hurry to go to his own cave.
Instead, he went to the Merit Hall under Miao Changsheng’s lead and exchanged his contribution points for 100,000 spirit stones.
The exchange rate between contribution points and spirit stones was 1:25, so he only spent 4,000 contribution points.
In this regard, Cheng Xu could only say one thing, “The sect leader is generous.”
Then, he was brought to the immortal’s cave that his master had prepared for him. He could only say that being a direct disciple was indeed different. The living conditions here were much better than when he was in the Yunzhong sect.
After sending Miao Changsheng off, he upgraded all the other configurations except for the hard disk to Level 3. It cost him a total of fifty thousand spirit stones.
[ Motherboard: Cheng Xu (later stage of Qi Refinement stage) ]
[ CPU: Spiritual Sense (Dual-Core 1.6Ghz) ]
[ Memory: Perception (512Mb) ]
[ Hard Drive: Sea Of Consciousness (1024Mb) ]
[ Graphics Card: Evil Eyes Of 10,000 0.85 (1536Mb) ]
[ Sound Card: Integrated 3.0 ]
[ Network Card: Integrated 3.0 (30Mbps) ]
Among them, what surprised Cheng Xu the most was the change brought about by the CPU upgrade.
His spiritual power and spiritual will had greatly improved, and he had also gained the ability to split his attention.
The changes to the cultivation computer were more direct. It could perform two tasks at the same time, such as refining two furnaces of medicinal pills at the same time and reading and installing two tasks at the same time.
The entire experience was instantly different.
On top of that, the graphics and sound cards had also improved the power of the Evil Eyes Of 10,000 and the medicinal mantra.
However, after the pleasant surprise, a series of difficult problems followed. This was because every configuration from Level 3 onwards required 10,000 spirit stones and a special material to continue upgrading.
There was no need to mention the Earth Spirit Essences needed to upgrade the hard drive to Level 4. The other materials needed for the other configurations were:
[ CPU: Earth Spirit Milk ]
[ Storage: Golden Gilt Sand ]
[ Graphics Card: Rank Three Ghost-Eye Wolf King, Ghost Eye ]
[ Sound Card: Blue Conch ]
[ Web Card: Thunder Bamboo ]
Of the five upgrade materials, the graphics card’s upgrade materials were the most outrageous.
Not only was it a Level 3 demonic beast, but it also had to be a Ghost-Eye Wolf King. That was a demonic beast that was equivalent to an Golden Core stage cultivator.
The video card upgrade required the Ghost-Eye Wolf King’s third eye.
Then, there was the core spirit milk that the CPU needed. It was a priceless treasure, but at least there was still a chance to get it.
In comparison, the other three materials were much more approachable.
“Is it because of the Evil Eyes Of 10,000?”
After all, it was normal for an integrated graphics card to be a little more impressive after switching to a separate graphics card.
However, looking at it from another perspective, the graphics card and CPU, as the most expensive hardware of a computer, didn’t seem to be a problem.
He remembered that before he transmigrated, when the big bosses of the card bar worked, their budget was basically spent on these two types of hardware.
it seems like there’s still a long way to go in the future!
Cheng Xu sighed to himself, because he could feel that the materials needed to upgrade from Level 4 to Level 5 would be even more outrageous.
As for the materials for upgrading after Level 5, he would not consider them for the next few decades or even a century.
