"Excellent, that's great. Then I must ask Elder Xiao Ting."
Seeing that Xiao Ting not only did not directly refuse the pill trade but also offered to examine Lu Wanli, Lu Qian was very excited.
He was merely an ordinary elder at the peak of the Dou King realm. The possibility of him breaking through to the Dou Emperor realm in this lifetime was extremely low. If he spent resources on refining the Emperor Breaking Pill, there might be a chance, but he would rather pass those resources to his talented son or grandson.
No one knew his son better than the father. Although Lu Wanli had seemed normal on the surface recently, he knew his son was carrying a heavy burden in his heart.
After all, he had once been a Dou Emperor expert, but now he was only at the peak of Dou King and could not break through any further. There was no way he did not care.
"I will send him a message right away," Su Qian said.
As a three-star Dou Ancestor, he could transmit messages through the soul within Jia Nan Academy.
After inviting everyone to his courtyard for a chat, Xiao Ting took out the pills and handed them to Xun Er, Little Fairy Doctor, and Qing Lin.
"Elder, if I convert the merit I earned from refining pills in the Inner Court into fire energy, would it be enough for Xun Er and the other two to train permanently in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower?" Xiao Ting asked in a teasing tone.
Xun Er was currently refining the Fallen Heart Flame. Under the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, her training speed would increase and she would no longer have to worry about fire poison.
Little Fairy Doctor could also train in the tower without any restrictions. Fire poison was a kind of tonic for her.
Although Qing Lin's training speed was not as fast as theirs, she could still transfer fire poison through her Jade Snake Three-Flower Pupil.
They could continue training in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower for as long as they wished.
"If Xun Er and the others want to, there is no problem with them staying there," Su Qian replied with a smile.
"Brother Xiao Ting, aren't you worried about Cousin Xiao Yan?" Xun Er covered her mouth and chuckled while glancing at Xiao Yan beside her.
"No need." Xiao Ting shook his head. "Jade only becomes useful after it is carved. Brother Yan cannot rely on training alone. He needs more combat and pressure. I think he should join the battle system and lead more teams onto the battlefield."
Xiao Yan: ??
Don't make the discriminatory treatment too obvious.
"Elder Xiao Ting, have you now refine the Ancestor realm pill?" Hu Gan rubbed his hands together and asked, his eyes filled with unconcealed enthusiasm.
Originally, in this Black-Corner Region, only Han Feng could refine this Emperor Breaking Pill.
Han Feng, who had monopolized the production of 6th-rank pills in the Black-Corner Region, demanded extremely high prices.
For factions with only a temporary relationship, not only were the service fees high, but the rewards obtained were even higher.
Since Xiao Ting no longer needed payment, the full amount was converted into Jia Nan Academy internal merit points. This was a good thing for Jia Nan Academy elders and disciples, as they could now pay directly with merit points.
When Xiao Ting needed rare medicinal herbs or cultivation methods, he could exchange them using merit points.
The cost was at least 30% cheaper than if Han Feng had refined the pills.
"No problem." Xiao Ting's eyes lit up and he smiled. "If Vice Dean Hu Gan wants a breakthrough pill, just give me all the heavenly spiritual herbs. Once I become the person in charge of Purple Sky City, I intend to refine 6th-rank spiritual pills every day."
"It will take at least one month, at most three months. I am confident I can raise the success rate of refining this breakthrough pill to 99%."
"Then I will revise it for you."
Hu Gan licked his dry lips and immediately took out two pieces of rare medicinal herbs from his storage ring. "Then I will trouble Elder Xiao Ting. The rest will be settled with merit points."
"No problem," Xiao Ting readily agreed.
This Jia Nan Academy still had many traces of the Lei Clan.
In his hands, these results might have an even greater impact than any divine pill.
"Elder Xiao Ting, I am sorry to trouble you as well."
Wu Hao took out herbs for 2.5 people and handed them to Xiao Ting.
Xiao Ting accepted every request for 6th-rank pills that needed refining, such as the Emperor Extreme Pill.
If resources were insufficient, they could be supplemented with merit points. If both were insufficient, they would wait until sufficient resources could be secured.
During the conversation, Lu Wanli rushed over in a panic, anxiety written all over his face.
"Commander."
Lu Wanli first bowed to Wu Hao. He was Wu Hao's subordinate and was mainly responsible for defending Peace Town.
"Please immediately request Elder Xiao Ting to examine you," Wu Hao nodded lightly.
"Thank you for your help, Elder Xiao Ting." Lu Wanli approached Xiao Ting with an expectant expression.
"Teacher, did you find any problems with him?" Xiao Yan asked Yao Chen in his heart.
Ever since Yao Tian Huo arrived, these two old men had been hiding in the venerable's ring playing chess and did not want to talk to the venerable unless necessary.
"If you touch his body, you will definitely find the problem," Yao Lao's voice sounded.
At that moment, Xiao Ting removed his hand from Lu Wanli's wrist and said in a low voice, "Something is wrong. Vice Commander Lu's condition is very good right now. His cultivation should not have stagnated or regressed."
"After checking, I feel the same way," Elder Huo immediately said. "He has no problems at all, yet his cultivation level regressed and he can no longer break through the wall. It is very strange."
Hearing this, Yao Lao and Yao Tian Huo inside the bone flame ring also showed interest.
"Since it is too good, we need to change the method." Xiao Ting raised his hand and released Purple Beast Flame, smiling faintly. "As the saying goes, too much of a good thing is as bad as not enough. Sometimes being too good can disrupt balance and lead to troublesome situations."
The purple Sky Flame circulated through Lu Wanli's body.
Lu Wanli watched nervously, expectation in his eyes.
"I see." Xiao Ting quickly withdrew his hand and smiled. "This problem is not difficult to solve. Later, I will refine a 5th-rank Moon Spirit Pill for Vice Commander Lu to take. This way, his cultivation will recover, and he will even turn misfortune into fortune and break through to the third level of Dou Emperor."
Everyone immediately understood that he had found the problem.
"The Yang energy accumulated in his body is due to the medicinal effect." Before anyone could ask, Xiao Ting explained to everyone. "The people from Demon Flame Valley are very cunning. They left a hidden injury in his dantian. It is a Yin-attribute power that devours blood power."
"By coincidence, Vice Commander Lu consumed the core of the Yin-Yang Heavenly Spirit Flower, which suppressed the hidden injury and caused Yang-attribute power to accumulate."
"Taking the Moon Spirit Pill to neutralize the Yang Qi and heal the hidden injury will solve all the problems."
Hearing this, everyone nodded in understanding.
However, Elder Huo widened his eyes and asked, "The Yin-Yang Heavenly Spirit Flower—is that the seventh-grade spiritual item known as the supreme treasure in dual cultivation?"
"Hmm." Xiao Ting looked at Lu Wanli and said, "Consider this my reward. Vice Commander Lu, you may tell me where this precious treasure is located, right?"
"Of course," Lu Wanli immediately nodded. "It was at Yang Spring Valley. It was a place where conflicts often occurred between Jia Nan Academy and Demon Flame Valley. At that time, I discovered a place surrounded by cold air on the outside but filled with extremely strong Yang energy inside."
"I led my subordinates to investigate. Just as we approached the strange light source, an elder from Demon Flame Valley and a mysterious man suddenly attacked me."
"We repelled them, but I was injured in the process. At that time, I accidentally inhaled something through my nose."
Hearing this, Xiao Ting suddenly stood up and said, "In that case, those two know the location of the Yin-Yang Heavenly Spirit Flower and are obstructing you from finding it. The reason they have not picked it is probably because it is not yet ripe."
"To prevent someone from getting ahead of us, I'm going now!"
