"This is the first time this junior has come into contact with someone from a sect. If there's anything I don't understand, I hope seniors will be magnanimous enough to forgive me." Miao Yi politely replied.
Everyone smiled again. Master Yuling said, "Bao Ning and Bao Xin were talking about you just now. I heard that your cultivation is already at Red Lotus Seventh Grade, but you're still a greenhorn?"
Miao Yi cupped his fists and said, "I am ashamed! When I was still a mortal, I met a man who was about to die and received some pointers. As a result, I lost track of time in the mountains and lost track of how many years had passed in the blink of an eye. I've been cultivating all this time, and only came out after using up all the cultivation resources he left behind. That's why I know almost nothing about the cultivation realm. This time, I came with Bao Ning and Bao Xin to broaden my horizons. I hope I won't be rude. "
Everyone sighed at his words. How lucky! Master Yuling asked, "Seeing that you're able to reach Red Lotus Seventh Grade at such a young age, your cultivation art must be extraordinary. May I know which sect's cultivation art you're cultivating?"
Miao Yi said, "I really don't know. The benefactor I met didn't mention anything about a sect. He only said that he was a loose cultivator who passed away after giving him some pointers. That's why I don't know what sect it is. I only learned about the Vitality Sect after meeting Bao Ning and Bao Xin. I only know that I'm cultivating a fire-type cultivation art. "
"Fire-type cultivation art? I'm sure a cultivation art of the five elements wouldn't be too shabby. " Master Yuling asked again, "I heard from Bao Xin and Bao Ning that you obtained a giant Blood Jade Branch and wanted to offer it to our sect. Is that true?"
Now they finally got to the main topic. It couldn't be helped. It was always awkward for guests to ask for something without even saying a word.
"At first, I didn't know what kind of transcendent artifact it was. I only found out after listening to Bao Ning and Bao Xin. Although it's a good item, I don't have any use for it. I don't know how to use it either. I heard that the Vitality Sect is a righteous sect that vanquishes demons. That's why I thought I might as well offer it to the Vitality Sect and use it to its fullest potential. I can also learn how immortal pills are refined. "
Miao Yi then summoned the Blood Jade Branch that was as tall as a man. Even though it was only as tall as a man, the branch was as wide as a man's arms. He placed it in the grand hall. He stretched out his hand and said, "This is it."
As soon as this item appeared, the entire hall was filled with a strange fragrance. Just taking a whiff of it refreshed one's heart and mind, and the entire hall was filled with a lively red light. There were also wisps of misty red clouds drifting within the main hall. It was a very illusory scene.
Everyone in the hall gasped. Even though they had heard Bao Xin and Bao Ning's descriptions, they were still shocked when they saw it with their own eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that he had to maintain his identity in front of outsiders, everyone would have squeezed over to watch. Thus, he moved his feet but forcefully held himself back. Only the sect master, Venerable Yuling, went up and walked a few rounds around it. He sniffed and reached out to touch it. Then, he said with a shocked expression, "It is indeed a Blood Jade Branch. It is simply unheard of for a Blood Jade Branch to grow so big. It probably cannot grow this big without ten million years."
He turned around and nodded to his Junior Brother, Reverend Yu Lian, and said, "Junior Brother Yu Lian. You're in charge of alchemy, so you're proficient in this field. Come and take a look at the medicinal effects. Junior Brothers, come and take a look. "
Two purple-robed old men, one with the dharma name of Reverend Yu Lian, and the other with the dharma name of Reverend Yu Xu, walked over and clicked their tongues in amazement.
Unexpectedly, after Reverend Yu Lian took a closer look, he suddenly pounded his chest and stomped his feet in grief, "It hurts so much! It hurts so much! "He pointed at Miao Yi and lamented," Brat, you're wasting a heavenly treasure. You're wasting God's gifts recklessly! "
What did he mean? Miao Yi was stunned. 'I'm giving you a treasure. Did I make a mistake? Do you have a conscience? '
"Junior Brother! Don't be rude! " Reverend Yu Ling scolded. He had the same thought as well. 'Did he make a mistake by giving you such a precious treasure?'
Reverend Yu Xu also glared at his Junior Brother. Everyone else in the hall was also looking at Reverend Yu Lian with dissatisfaction. They all felt that Reverend Yu Lian shouldn't have said such a thing. It was too rude of him.
Reverend Yu Lian also came to his senses. He simply shook his head and sighed, "What a pity. What a pity. Truly a pity."
Sect Master Reverend Yu Ling asked, "Why do you say that, Junior Brother?"
Reverend Yu Lian pointed at the Blood Jade Branch and said, "Senior Brother, take a closer look. Do you see that there are already clear meridians growing inside this Blood Jade Branch?"
Reverend Yu Ling and Reverend Yu Xu took a closer look and nodded. Indeed, that was the case. Miao Yi also took a closer look. There were meridians growing inside the body of this thing.
Reverend Yu Xu turned around and asked, "Junior Brother, is there a problem?"
Reverend Yu Lian then pointed at the branch and said, "Senior Brother, look at the protruding nodes on this branch. Do you see that there are already cracks on them?"
Reverend Yu Xu nodded and said, "That's right. What's wrong?"
Reverend Yu Lian immediately stomped his feet and said, "This Blood Jade Branch is about to sprout leaves. It's about to sprout leaves. Once it sprout leaves, it means that the stubborn rock has been enlightened. It means that it has innately developed spiritual intelligence. Once this Blood Jade Branch develops spiritual intelligence, its medicinal properties will increase tenfold. With its current medicinal properties, it can refine a million Basic Immortal Pills with the same spiritual herbs. Once it sprout leaves, its medicinal properties will be able to refine ten million Basic Immortal Pills! The worst part is that it will reach its breakthrough stage in ten years at most. It will be able to sprout leaves in ten years at most. It has lived for tens of millions of years, yet it can't survive these ten years. What a disaster! The heavens are blind! By plucking it ahead of time, it's over. It's all over. A rare treasure of heaven and earth in the universe will be destroyed in a day! How can I not be heartbroken?! "
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. 'Ten million Basic Immortal Pills?' Everyone in the grand hall stared at Miao Yi, each of them feeling sorry for him.
'What? It can refine a million Basic Immortal Pills? ' Miao Yi was a little confused. 'Didn't Bao Xin and Bao Ning say that they can refine a thousand Basic Immortal Pills according to the ratio? 'Goddamnit, how can they make a mistake between a thousand and a million? The difference is a thousand times. Are their eyes growing on their buttocks? Are they trying to bully me because I don't know anything? These two idiots aren't pretending to be weak, are they? '
The Great Hall Master Miao's heart trembled in pain. Initially, he thought that even though a thousand Basic Immortal Pills was a lot, the other four main ingredients used to refine the Basic Immortal Pills were about the same value as the Blood Jade Branch. Putting the other supplementary ingredients aside, the value of this Blood Jade Branch would at most be worth two hundred Basic Immortal Pills. It wouldn't even be enough to help him break through to Red Lotus Eighth Grade. He might as well give it to the Vitality Sect and make his own calculations.
This was how one should conduct oneself. One must give up something in order to gain something!
Who would've thought that it wouldn't be a thousand, but a million! This wasn't giving up, it was cutting a piece of his heart! The Great Hall Master Miao felt his heart clench in pain!
However, he immediately understood. Even the Sect Master, Reverend Yuling, had to send someone to look at it. How could these two ignorant fools, Bao Ning and Bao Xin, know anything?! These two bastards had calculated it based on the ratio of the Blood Jade Branch's size. They had absolutely no idea how to estimate the medicinal properties of this Blood Jade Branch.
'I've fallen into a pit! I've fallen into the biggest pit in the universe! I've fallen into the biggest pit in the universe! I've been through so much already, and this time, I've really f * cking failed miserably! ' Miao Yi screamed in his heart, 'Bao Ning, Bao Xin, you two bastards, get your asses over here! I won't beat you up, but I'll kill you!
No wonder that snake demon was guarding this treasure and refused to take it! ' The Great Hall Master Miao was close to burying his face in tears. Before coming here, he thought he had those two fools in the palm of his hand. Now, he finally understood who the f * ck was playing who!
Reverend Yuling saw Miao Yi looking like he was about to cry and sighed in his heart. Indeed, he felt that it was too much of a pity. Why would a cultivator care about waiting for another ten years? It was something that would pass in the blink of an eye. However, he still sighed and said, "Little Brother, you don't have to feel bad about it. You're still a greenhorn, so you don't know anything. Since you've already taken it, then so be it. Since it has already happened, there's no point in regretting it.
Don't feel bad about it! ' 'I feel bad about it too much!' 'Ask yourselves, is there anyone in this world who is more generous than me? Why should I feel bad about it? 'That's right, I'm a greenhorn, too greenhorn. I hate myself for being blind, so I wanted to kill myself just to apologize to the world!' Miao Yi's heart was filled with sorrow, but he couldn't hide it on his face even if he wanted to. It was too painful. The treasure that was so close to his mouth had flown away, yet he still had to pretend to be cooperative and nod his head in response to Reverend Yuling's words.
Reverend Yuling walked over and kindly patted Miao Yi's shoulder. "You really don't have to feel bad about it. If you didn't take it, then our Vitality Sect would have no fate with this treasure. So be content with what you have. It's better than nothing. This is all the will of the heavens!" He then turned to Reverend Yuling and shouted, "Junior Brother, this matter is over. Don't bring it up again."
Reverend Yuling sighed and could only nod his head.
The more the group comforted him, the more Miao Yi wanted to cry. He cursed them in his heart, 'You're all f * cking good people. You can just sit at home and reap such a great benefit!'
However, the Sect Master, Reverend Yuling, waved his hand and asked Miao Yi, "Little Brother, this is no ordinary treasure. It can be used to refine at least a million Basic Immortal Pills. If you convert it to other spiritual herbs, it'll be worth around two hundred thousand Basic Immortal Pills. If you sell it, it'll fetch a hefty price. Are you really willing to give it to us like this?"
The group sighed in their hearts when they heard this. It was supposed to be two million pills. If they gave it to the Purple Lotus Ninth Grade cultivators in their sect, they could instantly create a few Golden Lotus cultivators. Anyone would feel the pinch just thinking about it.
Miao Yi quickly composed himself and replied decisively, "I'm still a greenhorn. I don't know anything, and I don't know how to refine pills either. There's no point in keeping it by your side. This time, I've come out to witness the Demonic Phantoms wreaking havoc in the human realm. My abilities alone are limited. I might as well let the Vitality Sect make use of it! "
He wasn't a greenhorn like Bao Ning and Bao Xin. It would've been fine if he hadn't taken out such a treasure. But now that he had, how could he possibly take it back? He was a little worried about whether he could leave the Vitality Sect alive. Or rather, whether he could even leave this grand hall alive!
There was no way he wouldn't understand what was more important. That was why he might as well be a little more straightforward. Since he was already a bachelor, who wouldn't know how to say something nice?
At first, the group was still a little doubtful about Miao Yi's claim of being a greenhorn. But now, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Perhaps only a greenhorn like him could be so generous as to not take such a precious treasure seriously.
