755: Chapter 225_7 755: Chapter 225_7 Indeed, I must find a way to recruit all three of these little ones into the Hundred Peaks Sect.
As Bei Yan thought this, he casually took out the jade bottle his master had just given him and poured out a Qi Zhi Pill.
Upon the round pill’s appearance, a faint yet invigorating scent that brought relief to the body immediately wafted through the air.
Seeing the pill’s multicolored hues, the Academy’s headmaster’s eyes widened in surprise and exclaimed, “Best Quality Pill!”
Meanwhile, Liao Youdi, not knowing what a Best Quality Pill was, looked intently at the pill as well, a streak of astonishment in her eyes, yet she didn’t react as dramatically as the headmaster.
Little Bei Yan presented the pill before Zhu Peng and said, “Little Zhu Peng, eat the pill first, it’s good stuff.”
“Okay, Zhu Peng loves to eat, Zhu Peng is hungry,” said Zhu Peng, taking the pill and stuffing it into his mouth.
But Little Bei Yan, full of puzzlement, turned back to the Academy’s headmaster with dissatisfaction and asked, “Headmaster, what’s going on?
Our Hundred Peaks Sect couldn’t possibly provide so little food to the academies, could it?
Why is the child still not full?”
The headmaster helplessly replied, “It’s not that we don’t let him eat his fill.
Just take today, for example; do you know how much he ate in one meal?
He ate an entire adult cow!
I’ve never seen anyone eat so much, and he’s just a child.
I really dare not let him eat more; I’m afraid it would burst him.”
“This…” Little Bei Yan turned to look at Zhu Peng, an entire cow, where on earth could Zhu Peng fit it all?
Zhu Peng, feeling Bei Yan’s gaze, said with a wronged look, “But Zhu Peng is really hungry.”
“You ate an entire cow and you’re still hungry?” Bei Yan said and then paused, slightly taken aback.
Looking at Zhu Peng, he wondered why there seemed to be no change in Zhu Peng after he had eaten the pill given by his master.
Was it because the dosage was too small?
Anyway, it’s a Qi Zhi Pill; it wouldn’t hurt to eat a bit more.
“Zhu Peng is hungry, aren’t you?
Here, Zhu Peng, eat these,” Bei Yan said, handing the entire bottle of pills to Zhu Peng.
Zhu Peng took the bottle and poured all the pills into his mouth, then started to chew noisily.
However, since the pills melted upon contact, he barely got to chew anything.
“Hungry, Zhu Peng is still hungry, too little,” he said.
The way he spoke, it was clearly unchanged.
Could it be that there wasn’t enough time?
After giving it some thought, Bei Yan decided to observe for a while longer.
Turning to the headmaster, he said, “Headmaster, look at the child, he’s so hungry.
Let’s not punish him for now; I’ll take him out to eat something.”
Naturally, the headmaster would not refuse such a request from a high-level cultivator like Bei Yan.
Soon, Bei Yan left the Academy with Zhu Peng.
In their Cultivation Realm, they really didn’t need to eat much, but the people from Four Treasures Peak maintained the habit of eating, and Four Treasures Peak also had a good store of vegetables and meat.
Bei Yan took Zhu Peng straight back to Four Treasures Peak, hoping to observe whether Zhu Peng’s spiritual wisdom would change after some time.
However, after one meal, he discovered there was no change in Zhu Peng’s spiritual wisdom.
Yet Zhu Peng had eaten all the food stored in Four Treasures Peak by himself.
Now, he truly believed what the headmaster had said, that Zhu Peng could eat an entire cow in one meal!
“How can there be no change at all?”
Bei Yan, looking at Zhu Peng who seemed the same as before without any change, was temporarily perplexed.
His master was a top-tier alchemy master, a reborn being of great ability.
The pills made by his master could let them break through from the Core Formation Stage to the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection directly.
A pill meant to bring Zhu Peng’s intelligence to that of a normal person should have been easy to make, so why was it ineffective?
After some thought, he decided to ask his master again.
This time, he took Zhu Peng with him directly to the Five-Element Pill Ground.
In the Five-Element Pill Ground, Cao Zhen looked at the child in front of him, clearly simple-minded, and was perplexed himself.
His pills, whose tradition stemmed from Zhang Daoling, had never failed before, whether it was any kind of pill, even those that deceived heaven and earth.
Even Yu Tuoyu’s pill that helped her recover after her Golden Core exploded had no issues.
So, why did the pill meant to turn a simpleton into a person with normal intelligence fail?
