Li Chonglou understood his meaning almost instantly and nodded in agreement without a second thought.
Since there were six of them, he figured half would be enough, let alone taking one, two wouldn't be a problem!
Li Chonglou also took the opportunity to state his needs.
"You need high-grade pills to treat internal injuries?"
Master Jianwen's expression grew peculiar after hearing this. He pointed to the bottle on the table and said, "The most effective one is right here."
Huh?
Li Chonglou didn't react for a moment. After a brief pause, his eyes widened.
"Master Jianwen, aren't these pills only for soul damage?"
What was this all about? Soul damage and internal injuries were different types, right? If Master Jianwen was telling the truth, didn't that mean his pills had changed their properties?
The herbs he had given were for soul restoration, weren't they?
Master Jianwen then explained, "You've misunderstood. I meant to say that it also has the effect of treating internal injuries."
At this point, Master Jianwen's face once again showed immense pride.
"This is a product of a new era, successfully fusing different types of herbs to create pills comparable to being all-purpose! I believe that as soon as I present it for appraisal, I will undoubtedly be recognized as the foremost Pill Master!"
Li Chonglou grinned, "Then I must congratulate Master Jianwen in advance."
He wasn't the only one happy at this moment; Li Chonglou was equally pleased! His original intention was to obtain medicine for treating internal injuries, which would allow him to avoid risks when attempting pulse confinement.
However, the quantity was a bit small.
Li Chonglou then asked Master Jianwen for some lower-quality, but larger quantity, pills for treating internal injuries.
As for the blood crystals, Master Jianwen, who usually demanded cash upfront, made an exception this time and allowed him to owe it.
"Shall I take out one now?"
Seeing that everything had been settled, Jianwen suddenly became nervous, fearing Li Chonglou might forget about the pills.
No wonder he was so accommodating; he was waiting for this.
Li Chonglou understood instantly and grinned, pushing the bottle towards Jianwen.
"Here you go."
About ten minutes later, when Li Chonglou emerged, his arms were full.
He then successfully left the safe zone and found Yi Hao, who was hiding in a cave.
"Guard the outside for me."
After giving the instruction, Li Chonglou went to the deepest part of the cave and sat down.
At this moment, he also felt a bit nervous. Old An asked in his mind, "Should be no problem, right?"
On the way, Li Chonglou had told him about his first attempt at pulse confinement, and Old An was no less nervous than him.
Li Chonglou shook his head, "It's hard to say. Although I succeeded once, it was right after a breakthrough, and the duration wasn't that long."
"Another thing is that this time, even my acupoints were affected."
Among the three people sent from above, at least two had issues with him or were biased. Li Chonglou could only destroy his meridians completely, which damaged many acupoints.
Theoretically, at the moment of meridian reversal, he would need energy from his acupoints more. Therefore, before he could actually start, he had to properly treat all his acupoints!
This was precisely where the pills would be useful.
So, Li Chonglou, who was sitting down, didn't immediately get to the main task. Instead, he took out the more ordinary pills and consumed them.
Although they were described as ordinary, their effect was surprisingly good. Less than ten seconds after they went down, Li Chonglou felt a warm current rise within his body, and everywhere it reached entered a state of gentle nourishment.
Li Chonglou still retained his inner sight ability. Under his gaze, the damaged acupoints were recovering at an astonishing speed.
"This is so potent? I haven't even used the main ones yet."
Li Chonglou was also taken aback, almost thinking he had taken the wrong pills and eaten the ones from the small bottle.
But then, he felt even more surprised. With this, his confidence soared!
What he thought would take several days only took less than half a day for Li Chonglou to feel that all his acupoints had recovered to their original state.
"No wonder those Pill Masters have such high status, that even experts at the seventh level are willing to be their followers."
If he had these kinds of pills readily available, perhaps he too would be happy to do such things!
"Alright, it's finally time to begin."
Li Chonglou straightened his expression, suppressing all the unnecessary thoughts within his heart. Whether he could return to the path of cultivation in the future depended on this attempt.
While the pills were excellent, this was likely the only chance. If he failed, Li Chonglou would face an even weaker body.
Thus, Li Chonglou soon entered a state of meditation, while Yi Hao guarded the cave entrance, cautiously observing the outside.
His caution was certified by Li Chonglou; he was a reliable helper. Therefore, the only request Li Chonglou had for him was to do his best to notify him if an enemy appeared, without engaging them in a deadly fight.
Meanwhile, at the General Bureau in Shangjing.
Since Li Chonglou's incident, Old Tie, a retired individual, had been visiting frequently. Without saying a word, he would sit in his office and drink tea.
Eventually, it stabilized to once every three days, and people outside were already speculating if the two of them were involved.
And at this very moment, Old Tie was sitting there as well.
He brewed a pot of tea he had brought himself, and didn't offer any to the other person. Each time, he would quietly sit there, finish his tea, and then leave.
This time, the man with white hair finally couldn't help but speak, "I say, Old Tie, it's no use pestering me. The matter of peak power isn't something I can decide."
Old Tie still remained silent, as if he hadn't heard.
But he was a master at the early stage of the eighth level, his hearing far superior to ordinary people, how could he not hear!
The man with white hair sighed helplessly, "Pestering me is less effective than going to the Elder Council to pester those guys. They are much more influential regarding peak power than I am."
Old Tie still didn't speak.
The man with white hair sighed again and leaned back in his chair.
This time, he was talking to himself.
"I also feel it's a pity about young Li. It's just that in this era, there's no shortage of geniuses, and the same goes for peak powers. Young Li's talent isn't even enough to catch their attention yet."
Old Tie suddenly gave a cold smile.
"Some people have long been blinded by power, unable to see even this clearly. Young Li's talent is no less than theirs!"
Hearing Old Tie finally speak, the man with white hair couldn't help but follow up, "Who are 'they' you are referring to?"
"Peak Power."
The man with white hair's expression changed instantly.
"You're saying it might be because of this?" m..oΓg
Old Tie paused his tea-drinking, but his subconscious action wasn't to respond, but to release his aura, probing the situation around them.
