Testing Su Yin
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After breakfast, Su Yin finally remembered the child that he had saved last night. He rushed over to take a look and he couldn't help but praise in his heart—he's recovering so fast!
Only a single night passed, yet his breathing and heartbeat had already stabilized.
He made a significant recovery overnight.
If this child that he rescued was an ordinary person, let alone recovering—it would be difficult to salvage him from the brink of death. But this child recovered so much in a matter of hours. As expected of a cultivator, his rate of recovery was truly astonishing!
"This further proves that cultivation is extremely important."
Thinking about this matter that had deeply worried him, Su Yin fell into a daze. "Since I already know how to distinguish medicine and prescribe medicine. Then, shouldn't I be able to… refine those pills myself"
He noticed that regardless of the grade, the pills he consumed yesterday had some problems with the ratio of its ingredients. In fact, some of the medicinal properties of its ingredients weren't mutually nourishing towards each other but were acting like suppressants instead.
In that case, if he refined pills with his own hands… wouldn't he be able to refine a pill with even higher purity than what he had previously consumed?
Although Su Yin didn't know whether the method of medicine differentiation and dispensing that he learned was of higher or lower quality compared to a real alchemist's techniques. He sure was certain that the techniques he knew weren't weak!
After all, it took him quite a lot of hard work to pass those nine assessments—with each one more difficult than the previous.
"I should gather the appropriate medicine first and cure this guy. Then, I shall find a place to test if I can truly refine pills…"
Su Yin's thoughts were mere ideas that still needed to be tested personally by him.
But he wasn't in a hurry at all…
Carrying a medicine-gathering basket on his back, Su Yin walked out of the mansion.
…
As soon as he left—the parrot, donkey, and the tortoise—convened once more.
"Those two people at the door have been hiding there since last night. They obviously do not have any good intentions. How about we just… kick them to their deaths?" The donkey looked over the two in worry.
They had already noticed the presence of Yao Zhan and Elder Mo Feng the moment they appeared. These three had thought that these people of the outside world would leave them alone after a while, but they hadn't expected that those two would stay overnight.
Furthermore, they clearly didn't have the intention to leave at all.
"This is such a large mountain forest, it's not like we own it. As long as they don't enter the mansion, they can hide wherever they want to. There is no need to pay attention to them!"
The parrot thought for a while and continued. "The most important thing that we have to do right now is to find a solution to the one that's already in the mansion. Otherwise, what do we do if the Master successfully cures him, and he tells the Master everything about us?"
"That's true…" The donkey nodded.
The three beasts thought that those people outside the mansion were probably too scared to come in, and that was why they remained outside for so long. But as for that ghost-like guy, he was now a resident of the mansion, and the Master also knows of him already.
As long as that guy woke up…
The three of them wouldn't be able to pretend anymore, right?
Furthermore, if that ghost-like guy complained to the Master and said that they were the ones who injured him—the three of them would be in trouble!
Compared to this issue, the matter about those mudskippers was trivial at best.
"Do you have a solution?"
"No!" The parrot shook its head with worry.
"Actually, it's not that difficult!" After a moment of deep thinking, the donkey suggested. "Our goal is to keep him from snitching on us. As long as he doesn't wake up, wouldn't it be fine?"
But the parrot was puzzled. "It's not like all of us here don't know about the effects of Master's medicine. No matter how heavy anyone's injuries were, as long as they were treated by the Master, then they would definitely wake up after only a few days!"
"Since Master is personally taking care of that guy, it would be hard for us to make sure that he never wakes up!"
"I know that Master's medical skills are brilliant, but it's not like it is truly impossible. Back then, Little Hei who had been working with me previously received some injuries. But every time his injury was about to get better, he would deliberately ram himself against the wall, and made himself bleed!"
"Every time that happened, the Master would let him rest, and just like that… Little Hei managed to retire for two whole months even though he only suffered a minor injury!"
With its lips pursed, the donkey continued. "What I am trying to say is that we can just beat that guy up before he wakes up. If we do that, then we can keep him asleep. In this manner, we won't have to be afraid of him snitching on us, and thus… We will be safe!"
"This… this isn't quite appropriate, isn't it?!" After a moment of astonishment, the parrot looked at Old Man who stood nearby.
The tortoise thought for a while before it nodded sincerely and said. "That is the best idea that I have ever heard in the hundreds of years that I have lived!"
"All right…"
Witnessing that both of its friends approved of the plan, the parrot was finally convinced as it nodded its head. "Let us do what you've said, but your hoof is too heavy. You always made a hole in the ground with every kick! It's better if Old Man does it."
"Didn't Old Man comprehend the Profound Truth of Lightning? As long as that guy shows signs of waking up, Old Man can just give him an electric shock. It's nice that his injury just happens to be internal. No one will possibly notice what we have done!"
"Okay, let's go along with this plan!" The donkey nodded.
Old Man didn't expect that he would be the one to do the beating.
It felt a little worried. "I've never hurt anyone before, I'm not good at it…"
"It's okay! Everyone has to start somewhere. Just try it once and you will learn! Try it a few times, and you will find it addictive!" The donkey persuaded.
The old turtle nodded and the three beasts quickly came to the Nirvana Demon King.
Taking a deep breath, Old Man suddenly opened its mouth.
"Roar of Lightning! Thunder and Lightning Strike! Triple Electric Arc!"
Click! Boom! Crackle!
Both thunder and lightning descended onto the Nirvana Demon King like a waterfall.
In an instant, the Nirvana Demon King who had absorbed Sage's Truth from the prescription and had made a slight recovery immediately felt as if he had directly teleported into the eye of a storm.
"What the f… what's happening?!"
The Nirvana Demon King's consciousness darkened, as he fainted once more in a daze.
What did I do? Why am I being treated like this? I can't accept this! I don't want to lie in bed anymore, I want to stand up…
…
"Is that the Little Uncle-Master that you were talking about?"
Outside Secluded Immortal Abode, Elder Mo Feng stared at Su Yin with a frown.
No matter what angle he used to look at the latter, he was just an ordinary person.
It has to be known that Elder Mo Feng was a powerhouse at Class 7 of the Immortal Temple Realm. His cultivation base was even higher than that of Elder Wu Yuan. But despite all of these, he could only tell that Su Yin was just an ordinary mortal…
His disguise was too good!
"That's him! He's the one that roasted Senior Azure while singing!" Yao Zhan nodded.
"You shall wait here. I'll go and follow him to check!"
Mo Feng took a closer look and after realizing that he really couldn't see through the other party's cultivation base. Mo Feng gave his instructions to Yao Zhan, and with a gentle shake of his body. He flew away.
It seems that the Sect Master had guessed correctly, this guy used [Firefly Silkworm Cloth] to cover up his cultivation base. I must find a way to find out his true cultivation level, otherwise, we will not have an idea on how to proceed.
The young man's speed was leisurely at best. He was gathering medicine as he strolled. After a while, Mo Feng's confusion was exacerbated.
Mo Feng had once disguised himself before, but those that had high cultivation bases would naturally be more perceptive of their surroundings and environment than mortals.
The way they carried themselves and the way they often acted would unwittingly expose their differences from ordinary people.
But no matter how Mo Feng observed this young man in front of him, the way he carried himself didn't have that hint of being an expert.
Just how… just how was he doing this?
"Could it be that he's not in a disguise? But he actually doesn't have any cultivation base at all?"
An idea came to Mo Feng's mind, but he hurriedly shook his head. "Impossible!"
A fierce fight happened between the ten major sects ten years ago for the sake of this young man that had an innate Dao body. Wouldn't it be a huge joke if he has no cultivation base at all after ten years of diligence in cultivation with his talent?
"Looks like I have no other choice but to test him using the demonic core…"
Flipping his wrist, a demonic core appeared in his palm.
Elder Mo Feng's eyes narrowed.
When he left the sect, the Sect Master had bestowed upon him a demonic core that he could use to test the cultivation base of others. At first, Mo Feng thought that he would never have to use it, but it seemed that it was a stroke of luck that he brought it with him.
With a will from his spirit, his vigorous true essence was injected into the demonic core.
