Chen Jie increasingly felt that his master was a real treasure. If he were to raise an army and achieve great things in the future, then the Tai Sui would serve as his initial capital, while his master would be like the future bank president, specifically tasked with refining Tai Sui Pills alone!
Quick and of high quality, and with every ten pills refined, one extra could be produced.
It was his own master, the person he trusted the most.
Thinking about this, Chen Jie truly felt that acknowledging Doctor Bai as his master was an utterly correct decision.
Chen Jie, thinking this, poured out three Tai Sui Pills and handed them to Doctor Bai, saying, "Master, keep these three elixirs. When the time comes, give one to Uncle Zhong and Aunt Bai each. They are perfect for replenishing vital energy and prolonging life."
Doctor Bai responded, "Ah, no, no, I cannot accept them. Such elixirs are too precious."
"Master, please listen to your disciple. You know that I possess a Tai Sui; these pills are nothing in comparison. You must take them. You need to live a long and healthy life. I will need more guidance on refining Tai Sui Pills in the future. This elixir is a token of your discipleās respect. Please donāt refuse it."
"If you donāt accept them, then I will have no face to ask for your help in the future. You wouldnāt refuse to help your disciple, would you?"
"I... you child, I am of such an old age, what do I need such expensive elixirs for?"
Chen Jie said, "Master, thatās not right. Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. I will still need plenty of help from you in the future."
"Then Iāll accept them."
Doctor Bai nodded, but Chen Jie said, "Master, just eat them now. Iām worried youāll go home and feel reluctant to use them."
"..."
Chen Jie watched Doctor Bai, who truly seemed to be considering saving the elixirs for Chen Jie in the future, should he ever need them back.
But Chen Jie, seeing through his intentions and staring directly at him, left Doctor Bai with no choice but to say, "Fine, Iāll eat them."
As he spoke, he ingested the Tai Sui Pill and immediately felt a burning sensation in his stomach. Chen Jie then went behind Doctor Bai and used the Yang Chun Skill to help him assimilate the elixir.
Soon, the elixir was assimilated.
Doctor Bai suddenly felt all his chronic ailments disappear; he felt as light and fit as if he were in his forties.
Such were the wonders of the Tai Sui Pill.
This pill had hundreds of uses: it could help stabilize oneās realm, aid in recovery, heal injuries, and could even act as food to replenish energy in extreme environments.
It couldnāt be said to cure all illnesses, but there were definitely benefits to taking it, and no downsides.
Precisely because it was so accommodating, it had transactional value and could serve as a currency for high-end Martial Artists!
"Master, how do you feel?"
Doctor Bai moved his body a bit and felt his pulse, saying, "My vital energy is robust, and all my internal ailments have been swept away. I feel like Iāve rejuvenated by twenty years. Truly a Divine Pill."
"Itās shameful to say, but Iāve refined thousands of Tai Sui Pills, and today is the first time Iāve taken one," Doctor Bai remarked with emotion.
Chen Jie said, "Master, once I succeed, we should take a Tai Sui Pill each year to maintain our health."
Doctor Bai looked at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, even if you succeed, you shouldnāt waste resources like this. Taking such a Divine Pill once a year is too extravagant!"
Chen Jie replied, "Itās not extravagant if itās for my master."
Saying this, Chen Jie said, "Master, Iāve called Brother Hong in."
Doctor Bai said, "Hmm, letās not mention the Tai Sui Pill. This should remain between you and me alone. These two pills, I will tell Uncle Zhong and his wife that they are Blood Nourishing Pills you gave."
Chen Jie bowed and said, "Understood."
Soon Wu Hong was called in.
"Jiu Si, Grandfather, how is it?"
Hearing this, Chen Jie, as if presenting a treasure, took out a Jade Bottle from his pocket and then poured out three elixirs.
Instantly, Wu Hongās eyes were captivated by the three elixirs.
Chen Jie said, "Mission accomplished, refined two and a half Spirit Transformation Pills."
"So, these are Spirit Transformation Pills."
Wu Hong sighed, his master had once told him to faithfully serve as a constable for the court for twenty years, and he would have a chance to participate in the State Mansionās martial arts competition. The top five winners could receive Spirit Transformation Pills.
Wu Hong still had five years before he could compete.
He was confident in making the top five. By then, he would be able to enter the Energy Transformation realm and take his foster fatherās place.
Seeing the Spirit Transformation Pills ahead of the competition also filled his heart with desire.
As he fantasized about winning Spirit Transformation Pills in the future competition, Chen Jie had already handed a Spirit Transformation Pill to Wu Hong.
"Brother Hong, this oneās for you!"
"Ah?"
Wu Hong looked at Chen Jie in shock. Brother, can you just give away Spirit Transformation Pills like this?
One Spirit Transformation Pill equates to an Energy Transformation Master!
Such generosity was extravagant.
Chen Jie also had his own rationale. Thereās a saying, "Three stakes prop up a fence; a good man needs three supporters."
Eating one Spirit Transformation Pill could allow Chen Jie to enter the Energy Transformation realm; eating more would be wasteful.
It would be better to convert it into his own strength by giving it to someone he trusted.
Among those he trusted, the closest to reaching the Energy Transformation realm was Wu Hong.
Next were Xiao Hu and Zhou Chu.
After this incident, Zhou Chuās attitude towards him was uncertain, while Xiao Hu was loyal but still far from reaching the Energy Transformation realm.
Therefore, to convert it most quickly into useful power, it was best to give it to Wu Hong.
Although he wasnāt a member of the Fishing Guild Disciples or one of his subordinates, he had been very supportive as a brother; he was the one who introduced him to Martial Arts, helped him save Ruirui after entering the city, and aided him in escaping after the Peng Shizhong case.
