Chapter 311: Chapter 147: First-Grade Gang Force, Still Not Enough

As she spoke, Lu Danxi sat down at the stone table.

Zhang Su was a little surprised.

Lu Danxi spent all her days holed up on Danwu Peak practicing Alchemy. ’How is her information network so good?’

It had only been a day.

’Could the news have already reached Danwu Peak?’

As if sensing his confusion, Lu Danxi smiled and explained, "Zhang Su, don’t forget how many people come to Danwu Peak seeking medicine. You caused such a huge incident in the Five Elements Valley. How could the other disciples not talk about it? I just happened to overhear, and naturally, I found out."

She took a sip of her tea and continued, "And it’s not just me. The news about you is spreading throughout all of the Upper Sect Nine Peaks. A Named Disciple with Gang Force breaking the arm of an Official Disciple—that’s not something you see every day in the Upper Sect."

"I see..."

Zhang Su nodded.

"By the way, your Great Five Elements Divine Technique has already reached Perfection. You shouldn’t need any Five Elements Pills, so why have you come looking for me?"

Lu Danxi’s gaze fell on Zhang Su’s face.

Zhang Su pondered for a moment before speaking slowly. "I’m currently cultivating the Ice Evil Divine Technique and the Fire Evil Divine Technique. These two Inner Strength techniques can cultivate an extreme form of Inner Strength, but their Cultivation is slow. I need some medicinal aid to speed up my progress."

He didn’t hide anything and stated his needs directly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Danxi’s brow furrowed slightly.

"Ice Evil Divine Technique, Fire Evil Divine Technique? I’ve never heard of them. But I imagine they must be Fire Attribute and Ice Attribute Martial Arts. I have some Medicine Pills here that you can try."

She stood up and went back inside, rummaging through a pile of bottles and jars.

As she searched, she muttered to herself, "Ice Attribute... Fire Attribute... I remember concocting a few last time. Where did I put them...?"

After searching for a short while, she finally found two porcelain vials.

The two porcelain vials were small and pure white.

Lu Danxi walked back with the two vials and handed them to Zhang Su.

"These are the Fire Attribute and Ice Attribute Medicine Pills I concocted. You can take them and see what effect they have."

Zhang Su nodded, took the vials, and uncorked one.

He tipped a Medicine Pill out from one of the vials.

The Medicine Pill was no bigger than the tip of his little finger, crimson all over, with a faint luster on its surface.

A faint, spicy aroma wafted out, invigorating to the senses.

Zhang Su placed the pill in his mouth. It dissolved instantly, and a warm current rose from his abdomen, spreading to his limbs and bones.

He immediately closed his eyes and circulated the Fire Evil Divine Technique.

The Fire Evil Internal Force within him was originally very weak, no thicker than a single strand of silk.

The warm current from the pill surged into the Fire Evil Internal Force, which absorbed it and grew stronger, bit by bit.

He then tipped another Medicine Pill from the other vial.

This pill was also about the size of a fingertip, snow-white, with a faint luster on its surface.

A cool, medicinal fragrance wafted out, clearing the mind.

Zhang Su placed this pill in his mouth. It also dissolved instantly, and a cold stream of air rose from his abdomen, spreading throughout his limbs and bones.

He immediately circulated the Ice Evil Divine Technique, and the Ice Evil Internal Force within him absorbed the cold stream, slowly growing stronger.

The two medicinal powers, one hot and one cold, circulated within his body simultaneously, each following its own path without interfering with the other.

After about an hour, Zhang Su opened his eyes.

"How was the effect?"

Lu Danxi asked.

She sat on the stone stool, her chin resting in her hands, her large eyes fixed on Zhang Su as she awaited his answer.

"They had some effect, but it’s not enough. I need stronger Medicine Pills."

Zhang Su said truthfully.

Although taking the two Medicine Pills could increase the Cultivation speed of the two Divine Techniques, the improvement was not significant.

Before, it would have taken three years to reach Perfection.

After taking the pills, it would take about two and a half years.

The improvement was limited.

For Zhang Su, this improvement was far from enough.

He wanted stronger Medicine Pills.

"Stronger medicinal effects... I’m afraid that would require Elixirs."

Lu Danxi looked at Zhang Su with a complicated expression.

Though the difference in name is slight, the difference in effect between an Elixir and a Medicine Pill is like night and day.

Medicine Pills are made by grinding and mixing medicinal herbs. Their effects are limited, and they often come with side effects.

Elixirs, on the other hand, are refined using special techniques, and their effects are far beyond what a Medicine Pill can achieve.

Only those who can refine Elixirs are, at minimum, Innate Grandmasters.

Every one of the Elders on Danwu Peak who can refine Elixirs is a major figure.

"Danwu Peak has something called an Ice Marrow Pill and a Fire Marrow Pill. Their effects are extremely potent and should be a great help for your Cultivation of these two Divine Techniques. Moreover, since the Inner Strength cultivated by these two Divine Techniques is so extreme, you might also want to try the Extreme Yang Jade and the Ice Jade. Wearing these two types of Jade long-term can even subtly improve your constitution."

"But whether it’s the two Elixirs or the two Jades, they are all incredibly expensive. What’s more, you need to be an Official Disciple to exchange for them."

She looked up at Zhang Su, a trace of helplessness in her eyes.

"The two types of Elixirs... I can help you get them on Danwu Peak. And the two types of Jade... I can also use my status as an Official Disciple to exchange for them on your behalf. But the price..."

Lu Danxi let out a long sigh.

Clearly, even for an Official Disciple of Danwu Peak like herself, the price was exorbitant.

"The price?"

Zhang Su frowned and asked, "How much silver?"

"As for the two Jades, each piece costs one hundred thousand silver, so that’s two hundred thousand silver together. For the Elixirs, even I can’t get much of a discount on Danwu Peak’s Elixirs. A single Elixir costs one thousand silver."

After she finished speaking, even she couldn’t help but shake her head.

The price was just too high.

Zhang Su did a quick calculation.

’If I cultivate the Ice Evil Divine Technique and the Fire Evil Divine Technique, assuming a minimum of two Elixirs per day, I’ll need at least sixty thousand silver a month.’
