Chapter 471 - 240: Daoist Wu Wei’s Gift

’Elemental Fusion Vein Protection Pill...’

Jiang Che murmured the name of the Elixir Pill.

According to the letter, this was a special Treasure Medicine specifically refined for disciples who joined the Sect with prior training and were now switching to cultivate the "Myriad Phenomena Infinite Dao."

For a Martial Artist to switch their Cultivation Technique is an act that defies the natural order. Regardless of how high their Talent is, damaging their foundation and losing some of their total True Qi is unavoidable during the process of converting Exotic True Qi.

This Elixir Pill, however, could not only perfectly repair any foundational damage from the transition but also act as a catalyst, drastically increasing the speed of the True Qi conversion!

’It doubles the conversion speed?!’

Jiang Che’s pupils contracted abruptly when he read the final description of its effects.

He suddenly felt that this Elixir Pill looked familiar.

His memory instantly flashed back to the scene at the Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion on Duobao Peak.

Back then, behind the premium counter on the second floor, he seemed to recall seeing the very same Elixir Pill!

He carefully tried to recall the price...

’I think it was... five thousand points?!’

Jiang Che gasped.

Five thousand points!

To his present self, this was an astronomical sum!

After all, his entire net worth was only five hundred points, and the monthly "stipend" from the Sect was just one hundred points.

This single bottle of Elixir Pills was worth several years of savings for an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple!

’Daoist Wu Wei... He’s certainly generous.’

Jiang Che gazed at the Jade Bottle in his hand, his expression growing complicated.

’This Elixir Pill is good, but for me... it’s not all that useful!’

He had the [Skill Proficiency Panel]; as long as he grinded, he could improve without any bottlenecks.

Coupled with the Spiritual Qi-rich environment here and his Top-Grade Root Bone, even without this Elixir Pill, he was confident he could cultivate the Basic Chapter to Perfection within half a year.

As for doubling the speed...

Shortening the time from six months to three wasn’t particularly meaningful to him; he just had to finish within the one-year assessment period anyway.

’If I take this, at most, I’ll just save some time. But if I could exchange it for points...’

Jiang Che’s mind instantly started racing with possibilities.

Five thousand points!

If he could trade it for points, he could get Rejuvenation Pills, other Divine Weapons, or High Tier Ultimate Techniques. Any of those would boost his strength far more than simply speeding up his Cultivation!

’Maybe... I should sell it?’

But then his brow furrowed.

First, he wasn’t sure if the Sect permitted private trading of such a High-tier Elixir.

If selling the Elixir Pill privately was forbidden, getting caught would be bad.

Second, even if he could trade it, he didn’t know if he could be paid in points.

If he couldn’t get points for it, selling it would be pointless.

Most importantly...

’This was, after all, a meeting gift that Daoist Wu Wei had someone deliver specifically to me.’

’That Grandmaster is the Spirit Void Peak Master. If he found out that I sold his gift for points right after receiving it... ’

’If word of this got out, not only would I seem ungrateful, but it would also be a slap in the face to that powerful figure.’

In this Martial Arts World that emphasized respecting one’s master and their teachings, offending a powerful figure—even if that person didn’t target him deliberately, just making things a little difficult for him—would be more than he could handle.

’Forget it.’

Jiang Che sighed and suppressed the greedy impulse stirring within him.

’I should hold onto it for now.’

’If I ever run into a bottleneck in my Cultivation or urgently need to restore my foundation, this can serve as a safety net.’

Having come to this realization, Jiang Che was no longer conflicted.

He placed the Jade Bottle back into the wooden box and carefully put it away in his Storage Bag.

Although he couldn’t cash it in for now, having a hefty "five thousand points" weighing him down still made him feel a bit more secure.
