Chapter 1075: Open Your Eyes Wide and Learn

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

When Duan Muhong spoke, the entire Xuanling Pavilion went silent. All the gazes of the Gu Family disciples and the Great Void Sect disciples were fixated on him.

The Gu Family disciple who spoke first looked at the rather teenage Duan Muhong and did not turn furious. He rolled his eyes, “You are only in the Foundation Establishment Stage, how can you understand what Brother Liancheng is doing?”

“I don’t understand.” Duan Muhong answered honestly.

While his talent in pill cultivation was exceptional and he knew a lot of concepts, his cultivation was after all still very far away. He naturally couldn’t tell how Gu Liancheng’s powers work. At most, he could only make some guesswork.

As Duan Muhong replied in this way, everyone’s face revealed looks of disapproval.

The most senior disciple of the Great Void Sect here was a charming youth in white. He was Chen Xingyu. Beside him, a Great Void Sect cultivator shook his head, “The Celestial Sect of Wonders is really full of crazy people. Even a child doesn’t know when to speak.”

Duan Muhong was curious as he looked at the rest. After that, he turned to Yan Wuwei beside him, “But I can understand when Elder Yan explained it to me.”

As he spoke, everyone laughed while shaking their heads. But there were a lot of them who turned to Yan Wuwei too, “This fatty hasn’t even formed his Nascent Soul, but he can tell the method that Gu Liancheng used to cultivate the pills?”

Among the Gu Family disciples, someone creased his brows and looked at Gu Liancheng. That’s because they found out that when Gu Liancheng heard Duan Muhong’s words, his initial expression turned from a look of disapproval to a pensive one. He started to ponder seriously.

His look landed in the eyes of more and more people, which forced them to think about what Duan Muhong said.

The Gu Family disciples were all quite good in cultivating pills, especially Gu Liancheng. While he was only a junior disciple in the Gu Family, he would be an expert in pill cultivation in the Greater World.

Now that he removed all his bias and thought carefully, he felt something in his heart. As he went into deep thought, he kept on deducing the pill formula.

Gu Liancheng was the most impressive talent in pill cultivation in the Emperor Gu’s lineage and possibly the most outstanding one of all below the Immortal Soul Stage.

Duan Muhong’s words were targeted at the problem during his pill cultivation just now. Whether he was right or spouting gibberish, Gu Liancheng was the clearest about it.

After pondering meticulously for a period of time, Gu Liancheng shook his head, “The 70% illusory and 30% real method may be plausible, but because I used the Nanming Primordial Fire to cultivate the pill, it may affect the medicinal power of the pills if I retrieve the pills.”

“It may create more pills, but the medicinal power of the pills won’t be as good as it’s now. If I had to choose, the quality of the pills is more important than the quantity.”

Duan Muhong creased his brows, “You can don’t use the Nanming Primordial Fire.”

Someone from the Gu Family laughed out loud. Gu Liancheng did not do so but he tried to explain seriously, “Not only does the Nanming Primordial Fire have the ability to increase the success rate of cultivating the pills, it also increases the quality of it. Thus, when we use the Nanming Primordial Fire, it will be best to stick to the ratio of 60% illusory and 40% real in terms of power.”

“Of course, this is applicable for the Gas Revolution Pill. As for other pills, there will be corresponding changes, but it’ll involve more than just the changes of the illusory/real powers.”

After listening to Gu Liancheng’s explanation, everyone pondered before nodding their heads, “This is the case. Being greedy for the quantity of pills and neglecting the quality of the pills will not be a wise choice.”

“But this child is not bad, he has a talent in cultivating pills.”

“But he has to be less proud and impatient. Otherwise, it’ll be easy for him to tread on the wrong path. Such a talent will be wasted then.”

“Then it depends on how the Celestial Sect of Wonders is going to guide him. But from what it seems now, he is already on the wrong path. The Celestial Sect of Wonders has risen too faster, causing the entire sect to be impatient. This is also something inevitable.”

After hearing the commotion that was going on, Yang Tie, Tan Yunqing, Yan Wuwei and the rest remained calm. Whereas Ye Xinhui and the other third-generation disciples furrowed their brows. But they did not do so at their own junior Duan Muhong. Rather, they did it towards those who were involved in the commotion.

Gu Liancheng asked his own family members to stop, as he gestured at them. “Although you are not thorough enough in your train of thought, it’s rare that he has such a profound mindset. And don’t forget, he’s only in the Foundation Establishment Stage. When we were in the Foundation Establishment Stage, did we notice something like him?”

“During that time, if we managed to cultivate more than 5 pills out using the same amount of herbs, we would be elated.”

Everyone from the Gu Family quietened down and Gu Liancheng turned to Duan Muhong, “I remember that you are called Duan Muhong. Are you the Immediate Disciple of Tang Jun?”

Duan Muhong nodded his head and Gu Liancheng continued saying, “Duan Mu, maintain this open mindset that you have, but you must think deeper into things. Like this, your future will be very bright.”

A young man from the Great Void Sect looked at Duan Muhong and said, “You are talented, but your impatience cannot be tolerated. You are hungry for success and thirst for instant glory, which will only lead you on the wrong path.”

“Perhaps this is not your fault, because you were nurtured in such an environment. The closer you are to people who are like that, the more influenced you’ll become. It’s inevitable anyway.”

He looked at Tang Jun and shook his head. After that, he looked at Duan Muhong once again, “Some of them are already stuck in the abyss, but you still have the chance to escape. Take care of yourself.”

Yang Tie said quietly, “This comrade from the Great Void Sect, you have to be more prudent with your words.”

That young man laughed slightly, “The truth hurts. I admit that my words are indeed sharp, but I can’t bear to see someone with such a talent lose his way on the wrong path. If you think that what I’m saying is too hurtful, I can stop. But a person who resists the advice of others will only suffer himself.”

Tang Jun, who was originally staring at the crucible, regained his awareness. He turned over, “How can I address you?”

“My name is Chang Ling.” That young man laughed.

Tang Jun nodded his head, “Comrade Chang, you seem to be quite proficient in the art of pill cultivation?”

Chang Ling was not rushed as he said, “My Master is the Ming Qi Holy Man, and we are all under the Qing Ning Holy Man. As compared to my elders, my skills are only very bare. I shall not talk about how proficient I am, but I am sure I know the basic concepts.”

The Ming Qi Holy Man was in the same generation as Lin Daohan and Yan Mingyue. He even entered the sect much earlier than Yan Mingyue, Pang Jie and the others. It’s just that he always remained on Mount Baiyun to cultivate normally and rarely left the mountain. Even when he left, he did so to pick herbs. Thus, his reputation was not very great.

But in the Great Void Sect, the Ming Qi Holy Man was quite reputable. As the favorite disciple of the Qing Ning Holy Man, his pill cultivation skills were top-notch. In the entire Great Void Sect, he was one of the best and was highly rated by the Qing Ning Holy Man. The Qing Ning Holy Man even believed that he would be better than him.

But in the outside world, rarely anyone knew about the Ming Qi Holy Man. But his Master, the Qing Ning Holy Man, was a very notable person.

This elder had already become reputable during the Middle Ages. When the current age was entered, everyone recognized him as the top pill cultivator in the Great Void Sect. His pill cultivation skills were exceptional and it was difficult to find someone who could measure up to him.

Pill cultivation skills did not exactly rely on one’s powers. It didn’t mean that if one’s cultivation was high, his powers would be greater, thus his pill cultivation skills would be superior too.

Of course, some of the pill cultivation manuals required the cultivator to reach a certain standard first before they could be used.

But the more important thing laid in the understanding and intelligence of the cultivator in the art of pill cultivation.

Many of the special pill cultivation manuals and techniques were rooted in the cultivator’s own mantras and understanding. It was something that could not be taught and could only be developed by one’s own elf.

When one’s cultivation realm was low, the effect of his cultivation and powers would be great. The standards of Gu Liancheng, Tang Jun and Chang Ling were naturally greater than Duan Muhong. Even while Duan Muhong could grasp some concepts, he might be unable to exercise them. Or he would be unable to use them freely and achieve the desired effect.

And when one’s cultivation was greater, the influence would be lesser. Especially after forming the Immortal Soul, the effect of one’s powers on his pill cultivation skills was negligible. At this point, one’s standard depended on his research and understanding.

With the Qing Ning Holy Man as an example, even the Tai Yi Holy Man, Zheng Yi Holy Man and the rest above his generation could not match up to his pill cultivation standards.

In the eyes of many in the current age, the Qing Ning Holy Man was not just the best pill cultivator in the Great Void Sect. He was even the best in the entire Divine Lands.

Chang Ling’s words sounded humble, but it contained a hint of sarcasm. How could the people from the Celestial Sect of Wonders not detect it?

Even the innocent Duan Muhong opened his eyes wide and gripped his fist tight.

Tang Jun looked at Chang Ling quietly and nodded his head, “Oh, I have heard of the name of the Qing Ning Holy Man before. He must be a professional in the art of pill cultivation.”

“However, what you said earlier is still incomplete. While resisting advice is not encouraged, the advice has to come from someone who is good at it first.”

Chang Ling creased his brows as he heard his words. Tang Jun remained indifferent, “Comrade Chang, did you not grow up on Mount Baiyun since young? I wonder if you have lived in the ordinary world before? You need to know that many of the patients who could have survived were killed by quack doctors. Similarly, if I listen to bad advice, I may be harmed.”

Tang Jun came before everyone in the Great Void Sect and looked at Chang Ling. He revealed an intention to laugh, “To you, it may seem impatient. But to the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, it’s nothing. Greed for instantaneous glory? It’s not that we are doing that. It’s just that we can handle this glory, thus it naturally comes to us.”

Chang Ling’s pupils shrank, “You…”

Tang Jun laughed and turned around. He left Chang Ling behind and walked towards the crucible, “Open your eyes wide and learn.”
