Senior Brother, Shall We Call it Superb Strength Pill?

Éditeur: Henyee Translations

"Senior Brother! I succeeded! I made the pills!" Even though the voice was quite loud and wasn't that pleasant, but to Lu Changsheng, it sounded like celestial music.

He quickly left the disciples who were wondering what it was about.

He headed for the direction where the voice came.

Soon, he saw the young disciple.

"Junior Brother Li Chun, please accept my respects, Eldest Senior Brother." Li Chun knelt in front of Lu Changsheng, looking rather excited.

"You succeeded?" Lu Changsheng was in fact the same as he was, extremely excited. However, he still looked rather calm as if this matter wasn't a surprise at all.

"Yes, please take a look, Senior Brother!" Li Chun took out a pill, his hands were shaking.

The golden pill was the size of a lychee, it gave off a pleasant scent and spiritual air.

Lu Changsheng was greatly encouraged by this. He stopped himself from quickly asking Li Chun the efficacy of the pill. After all, there was a better way of wording things out.

"Let me ask you this. Are you aware of the efficacy of the pill?" asked Lu Changsheng, he pretended that he was testing Li Chun.

Li Chun took a deep breath and answered, "The pill helps improve one's strength!"

He looked quite excited.

"What? So it's a Strength Pill?" Lu Changsheng was surprised by the pill's simple effects.

This name immediately came into Lu Changsheng's mind.

"Right, Senior Brother! It's a Strength Pill!" Li Chun's innocent smile was blinding.

However, Lu Changsheng was very disappointed with the effects.

He thought his recipe could produce some precious pills.

In this world of cultivation, Strength Pills were far from being precious after all.

Lu Changsheng's silence concerned Li Chun.

Li Chun held back the smile on his face as he said carefully, "Senior Brother, please forgive my clumsiness, but the pill is far from being perfect. It can only increase one's strength by ten times."

Li Chun thought that Lu Changsheng was mad at him for the poor quality of the pill.

However, Lu Changsheng was very surprised at hearing this.

"How many times?"

"Ten times!" Li Chun scratched his head as he repeated once more.

Ten times?

Now, it was Lu Changsheng's turn to feel astonished.

By ten times!?

This was quite something.

A pill that could increase one's strength by two to three times was considered a rather normal pill here.

"Which stage does the pill apply to?" Lu Changsheng asked.

"I don't know this for sure. I'm at the Foundation Establishment stage, but after taking it, my strength increased by ten times," Li Chun answered.

This pill could increase a Foundation Establishment cultivator's strength by ten times?

Lu Changsheng was truly shocked.

Although most cultivators didn't emphasize on their physical strength, a Foundation Establishment cultivator could carry up to five thousand kilograms. This meant that an improvement by ten times would increase this number to fifty thousand kilograms.

A cultivator who reached the perfection level at this stage couldn't handle this weight.

In other words, a cultivator who just reached the preliminary level of Foundation Establishment could defeat a cultivator who had reached the complete level of the same stage.

That was beyond impressive and definitely deserved a patent.

"How long does it last?" Lu Changsheng asked.

"A day and a night."

Wow!

Lu Changsheng was deeply impressed.

He has been reading books on refining pills. Thus, he clearly knew that similar pills could only last about an hour. If the efficacy of a pill could last two hours, then the recipe would be considered to be very good. It was unbelievable that the prowess of this pill could last for a day and a night.

Unlike a turn-based RPG game, fights between cultivators usually wouldn't last for a very long time, they were often finished within an hour.

However, the efficacy of the pill could last for a day and a night. This was amazing in and of itself!

Incredible! Absolutely incredible!

I'm such a genius!

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

Joy seized his heart. Finally, he found something he was good at.

At last, he realized that he wasn't a good-for-nothing.

"Are there any side effects?" Lu Changsheng asked.

"Not really. The only thing is that I'm eating a lot. Usually, I only eat one bowl of rice for one meal, but after taking the pill, ten bowls of rice can't really make me full," Li Chun answered.

Great appetite?

That wasn't a big deal. This side effect wasn't a problem for a disciple in the Zenith Heaven, after all, it's such a wealthy sect.

"Good! Very good!" Lu Changsheng smiled. He grabbed Li Chun's arm and helped him stand up. He then asked the latter, "How many pills did you make?"

"With my limited materials, I only managed to make three. I took one and left one at my place. You're holding the third one, Senior Brother," Li Chun was overwhelmed by such an unexpected action by his Senior Brother, he answered honestly.

"Limited materials?" Lu Changsheng took out his token amulet and handed it to Li Chun. "Take this with you. Get more herbs from the Pill Hall and make more as quickly as possible. I need to use them." Lu Changsheng told Li Chun.

Li Chun nodded and then asked, "What shall we call it?"

Lu Changsheng thought to himself carefully, this was his first successful recipe after all.

"I have a name that you may like, Senior Brother," Li Chun suggested.

"Go ahead."

"Superb Strength Pill? What do you think?"

Lu Changsheng was really speechless.

This was such a bad name.

Superb Strength Pill?

This name didn't sound elegant at all.

After living here in the past three years, his experience made him realize that people in this world had no idea how to come up with a good name.

Take the top-level cultivation method in Zenith Heaven for example, it was called the 'Genuine Cultivation Method of Zenith Heaven'. Its inferior version was called the 'Low-level Cultivation Method of Zenith Heaven'. The sect called the cultivation method using the power of the wood element, the 'Wood Genuine Cultivation Method of Zenith Heaven'.

It was extremely straightforward and wasn't romantic or high-end at all.

Since most cultivators started cultivating when they were still very young. Most of them weren't interested in books in this world that admired physical prowess.

"We'll call it the 'Glazed Diamond Pill'." Lu Changsheng came up with a much better name.

"Glazed Diamond Pill! This name makes the pill sound so unique!" Li Chun sincerely complimented Lu Changsheng's naming skills

Lu Changsheng lowered his voice and said, "Junior Brother Li, go back and make more pills. If the other disciples ask you, you can tell them that you came up with the recipe on your own. Do you understand?"

Lu Changsheng's tone was very serious.

He wasn't trying to be humble. But it was mainly because the side effects of the pill still weren't that clear yet.

Lu Changsheng's way of thinking was still the same as before.

If the pill was truly good, then Lu Changsheng still had many other recipes that could bring him fame.

However, if the pill had some unknown side effects…

Then Li Chun could learn from this lesson and realize that refining pills was a very serious job. If he was punished, Lu Changsheng would ask the Penalty Hall to show mercy on him.

Lu Changsheng already thought of every possibility.

In short, Lu Changsheng didn't want any trouble.

He still had more chances in the future to gain fame after all.

"I'll keep it in mind. Do you have anything else to tell me Senior Brother?" Li Chun asked.

"That's all," said Lu Changsheng calmly.

"I'll try my best to produce more pills! Thank you so much Senior Brother!" Li Chun kowtowed to Lu Changsheng three times before leaving in high spirits.

He had no idea why Lu Changsheng needed so many pills.

However, Li Chun believed that his Eldest Senior Brother must have a reason for having him do this.

Lu Changsheng turned to look at the disciples standing in front of his palace.

On the square.

Liu Qingfeng's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He took a quick glance around and realized that he wasn't alone.

'Was Eldest Senior Brother going to starve them today?' Liu Qingfeng couldn't help but think to himself seriously.
