Chapter 5: Marrow Cleansing Pill
Failed again!
For a long time, Lin Xuan has been silent, although the expression can not be seen on the joy and anger, however, the hands are gripped tightly, nails deep into the flesh, lips are also bitten.
But this situation did not last long. After a few minutes, Lin Xuan took a deep breath and sat down again without saying a word, and continued to work hard...
⋯⋯...
Early in the morning, the sun rises, the beginning of a new day.
The Flying Cloud Hall is magnificent, the area catches up with the stadiums of the Earth, it is the most important building of the Piaoyun Valley, on the first day of every month, the disciples of the Spiritual Dynamism Stage will gather here to receive what they need for their cultivation.
Despite practicing for most of the night again and only sleeping for less than three hours, Lin Xuan still came to the Flying Cloud Hall on time, in the spacious hall, there were already more than a hundred people standing here in shadow, all of them were Spirit Movement Stage disciples, but every one of them was deeper than Lin Xuan, and his arrival caused a flurry of discussions, and from time to time, there were cold words that cut through the air and came into his ears.
"See, that kid is the mortal who has no spiritual roots and still tries to cultivate immortality."
"Hmph, he doesn't look good either, it's a waste of pills for such a person to stay in the sect."
"Who says it's not, I heard that he's working hard, but how can an ordinary person with no spirit root be compared to us, three years of time, and he's still only stuck at the first level of the Spirit Movement Stage."
"I don't know the sky and the earth, he thinks he can break the iron law of the cultivation world that has remained unchanged for 10,000 years, mortal cultivation, doomed to not have any achievements."
⋯⋯
Sneering blank stares, Lin Xuan, however, looked unchanged, as if it was a mad dog barking, silently came to the back of the group.
An ancient bell rang out, the disciples hurriedly stopped talking and stood in line, an old man walked into the main hall with children, each child's hand held a disk, covered with a red cloth, yet there was still a burst of refreshing fragrance emanating from it.
"Master Ma!" The disciples bowed and saluted.
"Uh-huh." The old man arrogantly tilted his head, his power was not high, only the cultivation of the early stage of Foundation Establishment, but he was in charge of the sect's pharmacy, so it could be said that he had a high position of power.
Cultivation in addition to the qualifications and their own efforts, pills are also essential, and can even be said to be very important, cultivation if there are enough pills to serve, progress will be much faster, can be said to be a shortcut, however, the materials for refining pills are some precious exotic flowers and herbs, so the sect can only provide very few pills for the disciples.
According to the rules, disciples at the Spiritual Movement Stage could receive two marrow cleansing pills per month.
Marrow Cleansing Pill, as the name suggests, is able to ease the meridians and cleanse the marrow, dissolve the turbid qi in the body, and catalyze a little bit of spiritual energy, of course, depending on each person's qualifications, the amount of spiritual energy catalyzed varies greatly, this pill is only effective for Spiritual Dynamic Stage disciples.
After opening the incense hall and paying homage to the grandmaster, all the disciples lined up to receive the elixir from the old man's hand, each one of their faces showing expressions of cherishing and joy.
Soon it was Lin Xuan's turn, Elder Ma glanced at him with a look of contempt on his face, took a jade bottle from the disk, poured out two pills from it and threw them in front of him.
"Thank you, senior uncle." Before Lin Xuan's words fell, the corner of his eye suddenly jumped, looking at the two pills in his hand, this is⋯Waste Dan?
The path of Immortal Cultivation encompasses everything, including techniques, artifacts, alchemy, and talismans, each of which contains a huge amount of knowledge.
For example, alchemy, in addition to a variety of precious materials, exotic flowers and herbs, but also need to be three true fire to refining, while the fire, the dose of auxiliary materials, the opening time, the treasure tripod materials, are related to the success rate of alchemy.
Even experienced alchemy masters, there are often times when they miss, will be a pot of heavenly treasures, refined into useless waste Dan.
Waste Dan refers to the excessive content of impurities, that kind of pill, eat not only has no benefit to cultivation, but will damage the body, usually only to bear the pain to throw away.
Although the Piaoyun Valley such a small faction, distributed to the disciples of the pills, is only the lower grade, but the lower grade is after all a useful elixir, and the waste Dan....
The other party obviously intends to make things difficult for himself, Lin Xuan heart flashed a ray of haze, but on the surface, but not the slightest movement, this surnamed Ma's position of power, it is very unwise to offend.
"Senior uncle you took the wrong one, these two wasted pills, how can I take them?"
"What's not to take?" The contempt in Elder Ma's eyes showed through, a neglected low rank disciple was just that, he tilted his head and arrogantly said, "What, not satisfied?"
"Anyway, with your qualifications, taking spirit pills would just be a waste, the waste pills might even be just right, how about this, senior uncle I'm not being unreasonable, I'll give you a few more bottles."
Saying this, he took two jade bottles from the tray and threw them into Lin Xuan's hands.
"Other disciples only have two marrow cleansing pills per person, I'll give you two bottles, how's that, senior uncle is treating you favorably enough!"
"Thank you, senior uncle!"
Out of Elder Ma's expectation, the dissatisfaction on Lin Xuan's face completely disappeared, he received the pills and respectfully saluted, retreating.
"How come?" Instead, Elder Ma's face was filled with shock, dumbfounded and unable to speak.
Waste pills, simply put, are garbage, taking them is simply harmful to cultivation, not to mention two bottles, even if you take more, it's still worthless, how could Lin Xuan...?
It was a completely unexpected reaction. Originally, Elder Ma thought that if he treated him unfairly, Lin Xuan would make a fuss, and then he could use it as an excuse to expel him from the school for disrespecting his elders.
It wasn't that Elder Ma had a grudge against Lin Xuan, it was that this guy was naturally snobbish and looked down on mortals without spiritual roots, feeling that letting Lin Xuan stay in the sect was simply a disgrace, so he was making every effort to drive him out.
The plan can't be said to be seamless, but it's still very well thought out, according to the rules of the sect, lower ranked disciples can receive marrow cleansing dan, but he deliberately made things difficult by replacing it with a waste dan, such unfair treatment, not to mention Lin Xuan, a teenager, even if it's a well-read old fox, it's not necessarily tolerable, as long as he has a seizure, it's possible to take advantage of the situation.
However, Lin Xuan, although there is no spiritual root, just an ordinary person, but the mind is not stupid, even very smart, character and tough, can endure what people can not endure, speak and do things always think twice before acting, not impulsive, Elder Ma to give the abolition of the Dan, he is indeed angry, but very good will be this emotion hidden.
From Elder Ma's contemptuous eyes, Lin Xuan also saw a hint of teasing, there was a conspiracy, he immediately came to the conclusion that although he didn't know exactly what the conspiracy was, or why he was targeting himself, who had no grudges, but these could be investigated later, the priority was not to fall into the trap.
So not only did Lin Xuan not get angry, instead he received the ruined dan with a normal demeanor, and successfully escaped a persecution, Elder Ma's plan failed, and he failed to trap Lin Xuan, but instead, he himself was so angry that he couldn't speak.
