C2410 A Recipe Worth Three Thousand Spirit Spring Water

This was the most important place in Medicine King Valley, it was the most secretive place in the mountain. The mountain stirred the earth fire, and the Earth Flame Essence was condensed here. It was precisely because of the essence of earth fire that there were no lights in this cave, but instead signs of light.

This cave was not only used to cultivate the Valley Masters of the Medicine King Valley. When they were refining rare pills, they would also borrow the Earth Flame Essence here to refine in the cauldron.

"ChangGeng, what happened to make your expression so unnatural?" While the old man surnamed Qong was lamenting about the mysteriousness of the abode, a white-haired old man sitting cross-legged in front of the cauldron slowly opened his eyes and spoke slowly.

This old man might be old, but he still looked like a child. Especially his eyes, when they were closed, they gave off the feeling of an old man in the mortal world, but when he opened his eyes, a fiery sharpness was released. The brightness of his eyes was even more terrifying than those of young men, showing just how profound his cultivation was.

This man was called Gui Yang, he was Pill King Valley's current head, and was Pill King Valley's number one cultivation!

"Lin Bai brought a pill formula …" After hearing what Gui Yang said, Qu Chang Geng gave a bow of respect and passed the pill formula to him, then said respectfully, "From what this subordinate has seen, this pill formula is extremely extraordinary, so in my opinion, the conditions we made with Lin Bai before might be a bit inappropriate, so I'll first arrange for them to rest, and let Valley Master make the decision."

"He brought a pill formula to our Medicine Valley. This young man is really funny …" Right after he finished speaking, the other old man sitting cross-legged next to the cauldron instantly revealed a mocking expression. He indifferently swept his gaze at Qong Chang Geng, and disdainfully said,

"My Medicine Valley doesn't have any pill formulas. Just the pill formulas of a mere Master have caused you to lose your composure so much that you don't even have the ability to make such a decision. Zhang Geng, I think you're living longer and longer, how can you take on such a heavy responsibility?"

The old man's name was Du Ruo, and he was an elder in the Medicine Valley who was on the same level as Qu ZhangGeng, and was also one of the strong competitors to the future head of Medicine Valley. Because of the competition, the two of them were originally as fierce as fire and water. This time, when Quang ChangGeng contacted Lin Bai, he actually didn't even manage such a small matter well. Naturally, he wanted to seize this opportunity to properly ridicule Quang ChangGeng.

Hearing this, Quang Chang Geng's expression immediately darkened, and after sweeping a displeased gaze at Du Ruo, he said indifferently, "I wonder what kind of conditions Senior Brother Du Ruo has reached with the Spirit Spring Sect's people?"

Just as Lin Bai expected, he wasn't the only one who came to the Medicine Sovereign Valley this time. Moreover, just before he arrived at the Medicine Valley, the envoys from the Spirit Spring Sect had already arrived. However, that person was the same as Lin Bai. He did not see the head of the Medicine King Valley and was instead approached by Du Ruo to negotiate conditions for an alliance.

"The sincerity of the Spirit Spring Sect is obviously much higher than that Lin!" Du Ruo coldly smiled when she heard that, and said, "The Spirit Spring Sect's people have already promised me, as long as my Pill King Valley is allied with them, they can provide three thousand bottles of spirit spring water to my Pill King Valley every year. Look at the Mortal Spirit Spring Sect, then look at that Lin guy, he wants to send my Medicine Valley off with just a pill formula, could it be that he thinks of us as beggars?! This kind of person, not only did you discuss this with him, but you actually came to disturb the Valley Master. If it were me, I would have chased him out of the valley a long time ago! "

3000 bottles of spirit spring water! Hearing Du Ruo's words, Quang ChangGeng's heart couldn't help but tighten. He instantly understood why Du Ruo had uncharacteristically belittled him like this in front of the Valley Master. So it turned out that he had actually made such a huge deal.

One must know that although the Spirit Spring Sect possessed a Spirit Spring Water Pulse, the amount of Spirit Spring Water produced was not too high after satisfying the needs of the sect. These three thousand bottles were probably more than half of what the Spirit Spring Sect produced in the past.

But now, the Spirit Spring Sect, in order to obtain the support of the Medicine Valley, had actually used most of the sect's profits to rope in the Medicine Valley. It could not be said that they had spent a lot of effort and resources, and the pill recipe that Lin Bai had taken out was not even comparable to the Spirit Spring Water.

Damn it, I should've gone to find Lin Bai earlier and snatched this opportunity to contact the Spirit Spring Sect from Du Ruo. If that's the case, how could I look at Du Ruo's face and mock him?

But he knew that even if he regretted it now, it would probably be too late. Moreover, as far as he was concerned, the difference between three thousand bottles of spirit spring water and the pill formula was extremely clear. As long as one had a good eye, they would be able to see the difference. This time, Lin Bai was destined to make this trip in vain, and the agreement between Medicine Valley and Spirit Spring Sect was definitely a foregone conclusion.

Even so, he still had a trace of hope in his heart. From what he saw, the pill formula that Lin Bai handed over was indeed extraordinary. If the Valley Master was able to see through it, things might even take a turn for the better.

"Chang Geng, why is this pill formula incomplete?" Just as Quang ChangGeng's expression changed, Guiyang's gaze swept over the recipe for a long time. He suddenly raised his head and asked in a deep voice. Within his voice, there was a clear trace of dissatisfaction.

"Junior brother ChangGeng, what are you doing?" Du Ruoruo heard this and was immediately ecstatic in her heart. How could she be willing to let go of this opportunity to ridicule Qu ChangGeng? She sneered, "It's fine if someone got rid of you with a Loser's recipe, but the recipe you gave is actually incomplete. You actually did something like this!"

It's over! When Quang ChangGeng heard this, his heart instantly went cold. He felt that his actions this time would likely truly disappoint the Valley Master. However, just as he was thinking about how to answer the Valley Master to calm the anger in his heart, he suddenly realized that the pill formula held in the hands of the Valley Master was trembling unnaturally, as if his heart was extremely agitated.

Could it be that the valley master saw that the pill formula was extraordinary and knew the origins of this mysterious pill formula? He no longer paid attention to Du Ruo's sarcastic remarks and instead respectfully said to Gui Yang: "This subordinate has already seen that this pill formula isn't complete, but from what I can see, this should be because Fellow Daoist Lin wants to hide it from us. Once our Medicine Valley has made an agreement with him, he will naturally provide us with the complete pill formula."

"What nonsense is this!" Hearing that, Du Ruo sneered, her face showed disdain, and scolded in a low voice: "He, Lin Bai, did not see the current situation, he is the one begging my Pill King Valley, not my Pill King Valley! It's fine if you take out a pill formula to deceive my Medicine Valley, but it's even an incomplete pill formula. Such a person, Junior Brother Zhang Geng, actually dares to argue on his behalf! "

"Shut up!" But contrary to Du Ruo's expectations, the moment he let out that sneer, Gui Yang's face fell. His eyes that were filled with a divine light glared at Du Ruo, telling her to swallow the ridiculing words that were about to leave his mouth. Then, he turned around again, looked seriously at Qu ZhangGeng, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure he has the complete pill formulas?"

There really is a turning point!" He only felt as if he had suddenly experienced an icy fire that was like drinking a tea from a lotus heart, the fire of hope in front of his eyes flickered. Although he couldn't be sure if Lin Bai had the complete pill formula, he knew that if he wanted to surpass Du Ruo by a head, he had to give Guiyang a definite answer.

Without any hesitation, Quang ChangGeng braced himself and spoke confidently, "With this subordinate's understanding of Lin Bai, I believe he definitely won't use an incomplete pill formula to confuse my Medicine Valley. He should have the complete pill formula in his hands!"

With this said, the atmosphere in the hall immediately became quiet. Gui Yang tightly gripped the pill recipe with both of his eyes tightly closed. The Earth Flame Essence inside the cave was constantly changing, causing his expression to be unsettled. No one could tell what he was thinking about.

What was so special about this pill formula? Why did it cause such a huge change to the head of the valley? And why did it even angrily rebuke him after he interrupted Qang Chang Geng's words?! Seeing Guiyang's gloomy expression, Du Ruoruo's heart suddenly tensed up. She couldn't understand what exactly was this pill formula. It was worth the Valley Master to be so solemn.

It had to be known that after he had talked with the people from the Spirit Spring Martial School and talked about the agreement to get three thousand bottles of Spirit Spring Water a year, Gui Yang had been praising him greatly and had expressed his desire to cooperate with the Spirit Spring Sect.

But at this moment, Gui Yang once again closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something. It was obvious that he had doubts about his previous decisions.

What was so special about this pill formula? Why did it have to change so much before and after the Valley Master's name? Did the Valley Master think that the value of this incomplete pill formula was above the three thousand bottles of Spirit Spring Water that the Spirit Spring Sect had promised?

"Chang Geng, have you told him about the Spirit Spring Sect's people coming here?" After a long period of silence, Gui Yang opened his eyes once again, and looked at Quang Chang Geng as he spoke indifferently. His eyes, which radiated divine light in all directions, stared at Quang Chang Geng, making him feel as if he had become a newborn baby under his gaze, with no secrets left in his body.

"No, I only told him that the Valley Master was refining a medicinal pill, and that I could not make a decision before the pill was completed." I didn't tell him anything about the Spirit Spring Sect coming here. Although he didn't understand what part of the pill formula was attracting Guiyang to him, but he still understood that the scales were slowly leaning towards his side, and so he replied immediately in a clear voice.

Moreover, at the same time the words left his mouth, he couldn't help but look in the corner of his eyes at the shriveled Du Ruo with pride. His eyes were filled with arrogance and ridicule, ridiculing Du Ruo for overestimating himself.

"Very good, you did well in this matter, Zhang Geng!" After a moment of silence, Gui Yang slowly nodded, and his face revealed a look of praise, showing his praise towards Qong Chang Geng. He then tightly gripped the pill formula, and lightly smiled as he said: "This young man surnamed Lin is truly interesting, not only did he bring a pill formula to my Medicine Valley, but the recipe he brought was even so unusual, he really tickled my Medicine Valley!"

It's over! With these words, Du Ruo felt as if someone poured a bucket of cold water over her head. The curiosity in her heart towards the pill formula deepened.
