Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 151: Sparkling Blue Water! The Perfect Cure!

After the news about Elder Wan Qiu succeeding in making the cure for the plague spread among the members of the Alchemy Hall, many of the disciples and elders from the Alchemy Hall had gathered in front of Elder Wang Qiuʼs room. Hoping to maybe get a look at the cure that they had been working overtime trying to develop over the last few months.

Even though many of them had helped in brainstorming and testing different methods for making the cure, the main people in charge of trying to create the final product was the most senior members of the Alchemy Hal.

Elder Wan Qiu was one of these senior members and had been the one to show the most promise in making a cure over the last few weeks. In the end she did not disappoint and managed to successfully make the cure for the plague.

The only problem left was finding out whether it could be mass produced and how they should go about it when it came to the Heavenly Sky Kingdom as a whole.

At the current point in time, the Heavenly Sky Kingdom would be quite desperate for a cure to the plague that was ravaging through the central regions of their kingdom.

The fact that there was still no news about the Heavenly Sky Kingdom successfully making a cure for the plague weighted heavily on the common population as people had started moving away from the central region where the plague was the worst and instead started to settle down in the cities and towns under the four major sects located away from the central region.

If they managed to get their hands on a cure, the Heavenly Sky Kingdom would be able to stabilize the current chaotic situation inside the central region and at the same time focus more on dealing with other threats such as the Azure Sky Kingdom and the Black Rose Sect.

But the Flying Sword Sect still had to decide on how to use the cure, be it holding it back and try to profit from the current situation or share it as quickly as possible to help as many people as possible. This could only be decided by either the Sect Master, Vice Sect Master or one of the Core Elders.

Arriving at the Alchemy Hall, Xuan Hao followed the elder and soon arrived in front of Elder Wan Qiuʼs room. Looking around at the group of people that had gathered in front of Elder Wan Qiuʼs door, Xuan Hao could not help but sigh when he looked at their happy expressions.

Even if he decided to share the cure, he would also have to consider what kind of response the Church of the Plague God would have upon finding out that their plague had been rendered useless.

Worst case scenario, they would try to get revenge on the ones responsible and Xuan Hao doubted that the Flying Sword Sect could resist if the Church of the Plague God truly tried to destroy it…

Thinking this far, Xuan Hao smiled a bit awkwardly as he followed the elder through the crowd of people and into the alchemy laboratory located inside.

”Ah, Elder Xuan! I heard that the Sect Master is in secluded cultivation and Zu Fei is… Zu Fei… Anyway! I finally managed to make a cure for the plague! See!” Greeting him the moment he entered the room full of excitement, Elder Wan Qiu began trailing a bit off upon mentioning Zu Fei, but her enthusiasm soon returned as she lifted a small potion bottle filled with a sparkling liquid with a deep blue colour.

”This is the cure…?” Staring curiously at the sparkling liquid in front of him, Xuan Hao had no clue how it would work when combating the plague.

”Yes! You see the green divine energy core that the plague forms inside the body of a host will need a constant supply of energy from the inside, so the cure will go in and block the paths for energy into the green divine energy core inside the host and slowly destroy it! While this process is not instantaneous, it will remove the green divine energy core inside the host over a few days or weeks in more extreme cases!” Flushing a bit in excitement as she was talking, Elder Wan Qiu put the small potion bottle down and walked over to a nearby table and soon came back again with the notebook of Lord Kubera that Xuan Hao still remembered looking through. Not that he managed to understand anything other than the last few pages…

”This Lord Kubera is amazing! He even wrote a detailed step by step guide on how to make a potion for directing the divine energy inside the host of the plague to locate the source of the plague!” Saying this, Elder Wan Qiu excitedly pointed at one of the pages in the notebook of Lord Kubera.

”So, this potion can locate the source of the plague? What is the source of the plague in the first place…?” Picking up the small potion bottle, Xuan Hao inspected the blue sparkling liquid a bit more closely.

”Hm, it should be able to locate the source of the plague in theory if used correctly… But even if that was the case, the source of the plague should be an artifact that the Church of the Plague God mentioned by Lord Kubera uses and it will most likely be guarded tightly!” Moving over to Xuan Hao and taking back the small potion bottle before shaking her head a bit helplessly, Elder Wan Qiu felt a bit hopeless in that regard.

”Indeed… We will not release the news of finding the cure yet, if the Church of the Plague God finds out that we managed to cure their plague so quickly, they will most likely not take kindly to us… Elder Wan Qiu, I will have to trouble you with announcing that the cure is not working as expected and that it might just have been a fluke earlier… At the very least, try to keep information about the cure inside the Alchemy Hall!” Putting on a serious expression as he explained their next course of action, Xuan Hao walked over to the place that Elder Wan Qiu had placed the cure and took it away.

Before he turned to leave, Xuan Hao had managed to ask about how he would use the potion to locate the artifact that was the source of the plague.

”For now, you can go back to how things were before.” With that, Xuan Hao left the Alchemy Hall and made his way back towards his pavilion with the cure to the plague in hand.

Dealing with the plague was yet another thing that was added onto his already growing to-do list…

Maybe the sect master would come out of his secluded cultivation having gained some sort of enlightenment that helped him reach the Domain Lord Realm in just a few days… If that happened, Xuan Hao would be able to hand over the responsibility of finding the source of the plague and dealing with it to him.

Wait… Maybe he should go and visit Shu Yao and see if she would be interested in dealing with it…?
