Chapter 424: Chapter 420: Seven Sects Martial Gathering
Seeing the Cloud-Returning Pill in front of him, Mu Ming was completely stunned.
After a long while, when Mu Ming returned to his senses, he dared to use his fingertip to gently touch it.
After touching it, he could finally believe it was real.
Clearly, there were only eight pills, but Mu Ming counted for a long time before confirming the number.
“Cloud-Returning Pill…
A Cloud-Returning Pill of extremely high quality…”
Shen Han turned his head to glance at Mu Ming, and at this moment, Senior Brother Mu didn’t even blink.
He just stared fixedly at the pills.
“This kind of pill, I fear only the Mansion Masters of Feixia Mansion and Chuixue Mansion can refine it…”
Seeing Mu Ming like this, Shen Han couldn’t help but smile.
“I didn’t expect Senior Brother Mu to have some knowledge of pills, able to discern the quality of pills.”
“To be honest with Junior Brother Shen, I once did odd jobs in the Pill-Refining Room of the mansion for over a year.
Every day I heard those Inner Sect disciples discussing, and often I could see the newly made pills.
Although I still can’t refine them, I have no problem understanding the grade of the pills just by looking.”
Having said that, Mu Ming’s expression became even more serious.
“If nothing unexpected happens, these eight pills of such quality, Junior Brother Shen, you must have spent all the contribution points you’ve earned on them, right?
This gift is indeed too precious.
Even if you give them to me, Junior Brother Shen, I wouldn’t dare accept them.
By showcasing your talents in cultivation at that competition, it’s clear you have a gift for practice.
Leaving Cangxuan Valley to join another sect might open up a whole new world for you.
You will find more use for these pills.”
As he spoke, Mu Ming took out a box and carefully placed the pills inside.
Pills of such quality can’t just be wrapped in paper…
“I, your Senior Brother, have about two years left before I leave Cangxuan Valley.
Once I return to my hometown, with the cultivation I have here, I already count as a strong person in the city.
Even if I use these pills, the improvement might not be significant.
Junior Brother Shen, if you aim to progress further in your cultivation, you should take these pills.
Even without a Divine Soul for now, keep them safe and use them later when you do.”
Hearing this, Shen Han didn’t say much more.
He silently took out another batch of pills and placed them on Mu Ming’s table.
Faced with yet another pile of Cloud-Returning Pills,
Mu Ming felt he really couldn’t keep his composure…
Have these pills recently been so unsalable that their price has dropped?…
Adding the two batches together, there were a total of sixteen pills.
With so many pills, even ten thousand contribution points wouldn’t suffice to buy them.
Mu Ming looked at the pills, then at Shen Han.
“Junior Brother Shen…”
“Please, don’t ask more, Senior Brother Mu. The origin of these pills is without any issue.
Neither stolen nor stolen, a total of sixteen, we’ll split them evenly between us.
If you, Senior Brother Mu, don’t want to take them yourself, you can sell them for contribution points just as well.
Once I’ve decided to gift them to you, Senior Brother Mu, there’s no reason for me to take them back.”
Seeing the pills in front of him and hearing Shen Han’s words, Mu Ming finally did not refuse anymore.
He took out another box and repackaged the eight pills Shen Han had given.
Mu Ming couldn’t bear to see such precious pills simply wrapped in paper.
Having accepted his own eight pills, Mu Ming still felt a bit like he was dreaming.
If these eight pills were sold, they could easily fetch over ten thousand contribution points.
With so many contribution points, he could even give up his odd jobs and start focusing solely on cultivation.
Thinking of this, Mu Ming shook his head and looked at Shen Han.
“Junior Brother Shen, there’s less than half a month until the Seven Sects Martial Arts Competition.
This year’s competition is being held right here in our Cangxuan Valley.
On that day, the disciples with status in the valley will probably attend.
That’s also the best day to escape.
Zheng Changnian, Ying Jiu, they should both be preoccupied with this competition.
Junior Brother Shen, you must seize that day.
Leaving Cangxuan Valley is the best choice for you.”
Mu Ming spoke earnestly, and Shen Han nodded frequently in agreement as he listened.
However, speaking of the competition, Shen Han looked at Mu Ming, and asked a couple more questions.
After a bit of idle chat, when Shen Han left, it was already 1:00 AM.
He returned to the quiet courtyard where he resided.
Throughout the process, the person monitoring outside didn’t notice a thing.
Perhaps in his eyes, Shen Han had never left the courtyard.
Shen Han didn’t intend to expose himself on purpose or to toy with him.
He decided to let him believe he was doing a good job monitoring and maintain it.
Back in his courtyard, Shen Han began to carefully plan his course of action.
Mu Ming was somewhat right; it would be hard for him to progress further in Cangxuan Valley.
This sect could no longer provide him with any meaningful growth.
At the book pavilion, he had almost completed reading all the third-floor manuals.
There were hardly any suitable ones left.
Furthermore, the mansion masters in the sect showed blatant favoritism towards Zheng Changnian.
They even went beyond reason in their bias.
Shen Han also heard that Zheng Changnian was particularly favored by the Valley Master of Cangxuan Valley.
Now, he had only seen the mansion masters’ bias towards him, and if it were the Valley Master…
Moreover, despite having defeated Guan Yutang, he remained highly regarded by many mansion masters.
And then there was Ying Jiu, who was the great-granddaughter of an elder.
Shen Han was acutely aware that he had stirred the nest of the descendants of Cangxuan Valley’s high-ranking members.
For him, leaving was indeed the best decision.
However, he needed to consider carefully how to leave.
The Divine Land is vast, and with so many sects, finding a suitable and powerful one wasn’t just a simple task.
His ability to extract insights allowed him exceptional understanding of cultivation techniques, unmatched by anyone.
But this insight was useless without cultivation technique manuals…
Without techniques, there was nothing for him to comprehend.
He understood that he needed a larger sect, a sect with a profound heritage, to head to.
The world wasn’t lined with luck.
Miraculously finding secret manuals upon falling off a cliff or discovering pills by wandering into caves.
Such occurrences were exceedingly rare.
Most resources were commandeered by the enormous sects.
Other sects merely sought survival in the gaps.
With this in mind, Shen Han’s thoughts turned to the Seven Sects Martial Arts Competition.
Shen Han had already gleaned from Mu Ming.
The Seven Sects Martial Arts Competition is a martial arts exchange gathering of seven sects from the Northern State, Northwestern Domain, and Northeastern Domain.
Across the Divine Land, even without considering the top-tier sects at the core, the Northern State, Northwestern Domain, and Northeastern Domain are weaker regions.
Over a thousand years ago, sects from these regions began uniting.
They voiced their opinions together to enhance their influence.
