Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 70: Chapter 64: Spiritual Peach (Request for Follow-up Read)

Ning Qi didn’t know how similar the Gang Condensing Pill Formula he deduced was to the original, but the result spoke for itself. Being able to refine the Gang Condensing Pill was all that mattered.

Without any hesitation.

Ning Qi began alchemy.

Batch after batch of medicinal herbs were consumed, and fresh Gang Condensing Pills came off the line.

Ning Qi was like an emotionless alchemy machine, with an astonishingly high success rate.

But don’t for a second think that refining Gang Condensing Pills is a simple task. In fact, even those forces that can refine Gang Condensing Pills have extremely high failure rates, and it’s normal to get just one pill from ten batches of materials.

The reason Ning Qi could achieve such a high success rate was naturally due to his extraordinary insight, allowing him to easily spot the common failure points and make improvements.

Not only that.

His Myriad Phenomena Strength was also crucial, allowing him to precisely adjust the heat as he wished, without the slightest deviation, precise like a machine.

It’s no exaggeration to say that if Ning Qi’s performance were known to others, he would be revered as a God of Alchemy Dao.

But Ning Qi remained calm inside.

After all, Alchemy Dao was an external path. He only invested effort in it to boost the Martial Path at certain times, aiding him in his quest for immortality.

A few days later.

The True Martial Sect’s related medicinal materials were exhausted, replaced by ten Gang Condensing Pills.

Looking at those pills exuding a unique fragrance, Ning Qi felt a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment welling up inside. ”Ten Gang Condensing Pills, I’ll give one each to my senior brothers and sisters, and the remaining three can be handed to Master as part of the True Martial Sect’s foundation.”

Ning Qi had made his arrangements.

As for himself?

No need.

So far, Ning Qi had never encountered any bottleneck in cultivation, breakthroughs always happened naturally when the time was right. Perhaps he would face challenges later, but definitely not now.

Moreover.

Given the abundance of Ning Qi’s Inner Strength, even if he really needed Gang Condensing Pills to condense Gang Qi, a single pill wouldn’t be enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.

He was about to advance to the Ninefold Realm, with a high chance of achieving the Gang Essence Realm before the Celestial Being Grand Ceremony. The process of deducing the Gang Condensing Pill Formula gave him several insights into advancing to the Gang Essence Realm, making him feel it wouldn’t be difficult to achieve that by the age of eight. ”Just in time for this year’s True Martial Peach Assembly, I can hand the Gang Condensing Pills and Sleep Dream Skill Sleep Dream Pills to the senior brothers then.”

Ning Qi’s mouth curled into a smile.

Last year at this time, the eight of them made an agreement, and strictly speaking, this year was considered the first official True Martial Peach Assembly. ...

The peach blossoms outside the Seeking Tao Institute were already in full bloom.

And then gradually withered.

The peach fruits that grew this time were fuller, refreshing the mouth with sweetness as they were eaten.

Not disappointing Ning Qi, Luo Wentian and the others arrived at Ning Qi’s courtyard right on time. ”I thought the senior brothers and sisters had forgotten.”

Ning Qi joked with a smile.

This year’s True Martial disciples were diligently practicing, and he originally thought some senior brothers might forget, but everyone showed up. It was clear everyone cherished this agreement.

Ye Qinghe lifted the Peach Blossom Brew in her hand and laughed: ”I definitely won’t forget. This time, I’m going to amaze you all. I brewed it myself!”

She patted her chest, full of enthusiasm.

Ning Qi chuckled silently, but one thing was true: this time, Ye Qinghe didn’t cheat by asking the White Ape for help.

All the True Disciples took their seats with smiles.

The White Ape poured Peach Blossom Brew for everyone one by one.

The seventh disciple, Song City, wore a mischievous smile and closed his eyes dramatically: ”I’ll go first!”

As the wine entered his stomach, he opened his eyes in surprise. ”Huh? Did Third Senior Sister perhaps have an enlightenment?”

Everyone exchanged glances in surprise, then drank it down in one gulp.

Though the wine was nothing special, at least it was drinkable.

In a sense, this was Ye Qinghe’s first successful creation.

Even Luo Wentian couldn’t help but give a thumbs up and say: ”Qinghe, you’ve made great progress!”

Ye Qinghe beamed proudly and said: ”Of course, this time I seriously consulted with Tiansheng. You’ll be blessed from now on; a true master brewer is about to be born. Isn’t that right, Tiansheng?”

She winked playfully at the White Ape.

The White Ape scratched its head and responded honestly: ”It’s all thanks to your own wisdom, Master Uncle.”

Everyone was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the White Ape.

Most of them had little contact with the White Ape, and since the White Ape rarely used the Abdominal Language Skill in front of others, they were unaware it could even speak!

Ye Qinghe burst into laughter.

It was precisely because the White Ape could speak that she improved rapidly in the art of brewing.

Ning Qi explained with a smile: ”No need for surprise, brothers. It’s just the Abdominal Language Skill. Tiansheng is very clever. After awakening its bloodline, it could speak using the Abdominal Language Skill, just not accustomed to it.”

As long as it didn’t expose the Stance Skill and other martial arts, it didn’t matter. Exotic Beasts would also try to learn human Slaughter Techniques, albeit not involving martial art cultivation—too challenging. Ning Qi had never heard of Exotic Beasts developing a cultivation system suited for their kind.

Everyone marveled in amazement.

The White Ape was a bit embarrassed under the scrutiny.

Ning Qi laughed cheerfully; he never intended to hide the White Ape. Its divine nature would eventually be revealed step by step, and it required a process.

Luo Wentian and the others didn’t dwell on it for long.

Today was the True Martial Peach Assembly.

An occasion for fellow disciples to bond and discuss anything.

Everyone unveiled what they had prepared: gourmet pastries from Qing State chefs available only once a year, admired famous paintings and calligraphy, shared strange tales and experiences, or discussed martial arts stories...

This year, their preparations made the event more lively than before, with everyone bringing something.

Everyone felt time flew by.

Ning Qi presented the Peach Fruits at the right moment.

He had reserved this batch long ago, the essence of the crop, each Peach Fruit full and gleaming, looking extremely appetizing.

Xiong Shi eagerly tested one, finding a lingering fragrance, and even felt a warm current flowing inside, his body more at ease.

He was shocked. ”Junior Brother, these peaches of yours...”

Everyone, witnessing this, ate the peaches, then looked at Ning Qi in astonishment.

Compared to the previous year, these peaches seemed to have gained some body-strengthening properties. Although negligible for those at their level, if at the Body Tempering Realm, they certainly would stabilize the physique and strengthen the foundation. Though not outstanding, accumulated over time, they were not to be underestimated.

These had reached some effects of Spirit Fruits!

Ning Qi smiled slightly: ”I casually used some medicinal herbs for cultivation when idle; unexpectedly, this year’s harvest had surprising results.”

He felt a strong sense of achievement. At this rate of transformation, in a few years, the peach trees outside the yard might bear true Spiritual Peaches.
