Chapter 2749
“Mr. Chen, while you were in a coma, the Patriarch entrusted you with all the high-grade pills from our Jade Tripod Sect.”
“Ultimately, even the three precious pills from the Hidden Pill Pavilion were given to you, and it was only after that that you finally woke up!”
The Third Elder quickly addressed Kai in a concerned tone.
Three pills?
Kai tried to recall, as he had a lingering awareness of the changes in his body during his unconscious state!
The three powers within him had been growing tremendously; could this be linked to those three pills?
“Third Elder, what exactly are those three pills from the Hidden Medicine Pavilion?”
Kai inquired eagerly.
“I’m not certain either. These three pills have been around for a long time. Over the years, our Jade Tripod Sect has researched them numerous times, yet we’ve never been able to decipher their medicinal properties.”
“Currently, our entire Jade Tripod Sect is struggling to acquire any decent elixirs.”
“I’m honestly not sure how I’ll attend the upcoming Pill Master Meeting…”
The Third Elder expressed his frustration helplessly.
“Pill Master Meeting?” Kai echoed, surprised. “What’s that about?”
“Third Elder, it’s great that Kai has woken up, let’s not dwell on anything else,”
Liu Ruyan interjected quickly, preventing the Third Elder from elaborating further.
Upon hearing her, the Third Elder fell silent, respecting her cue.
“Miss Liu, I am incredibly grateful for your efforts in gathering so many resources from the Jade Tripod Sect to save me. If there’s anything you need, just let me know.”
“I’m now considered a member of the Jade Tripod Sect, so there’s no need to keep anything from me,”
Kai said, looking earnestly at Liu Ruyan.
“I merely wanted to spare you from worry. As for the Pill Master Meeting, it’s not a big deal; just don’t attend!”
Liu Ruyan replied with a gentle smile.
Hearing this, the Third Elder opened his mouth as if to protest but ultimately held back his words.
Kai noticed the Third Elder’s discomfort; however, in Liu Ruyan’s presence, the Third Elder clearly felt restrained.
“Having been unconscious for so long, I’d like to step outside for some fresh air!”
Kai announced.
“Mr. Chen, I’ll accompany you!” The Third Elder insisted immediately.
“Third Elder, don’t follow Kai around and say unnecessary things, understood?”
Liu Ruyan cautioned firmly.
The Third Elder nodded in agreement but still trailed behind Kai as they exited.
Just as they stepped out, Kai asked, “Third Elder, what was that Pill Master Association you mentioned earlier?”
The Third Elder glanced cautiously at Liu Ruyan, who had stayed back, and then whispered, “Mr. Chen, perhaps you don’t know. In Jialing County, which is over two thousand kilometers from our Jade Tripod Sect, an annual Pill Master Meeting is held!”
“As you might be aware, pill masters hold a prestigious status in this continent. Although there’s only one pill refining sect in our vicinity, there are dozens of such sects spread across the entire southwest continent!”
“Every year, these sects gather under the pretext of sparring, competing in their pill refining skills, showcasing their top-tier pills!”
“This event allows us to demonstrate our pill refining techniques, and it also facilitates cooperation and resource exchange between sects.”
“Furthermore, if a participant secures first place in the competition, the president of the Pill Refining Association rewards them with substantial resources.”
“Now that our Jade Tripod Sect has exhausted its supply of high-grade pills and has dwindling resources, I fear we won’t be able to participate in this Pill Refining Society.”
The Third Elder sighed softly, expressing his concerns.
After hearing this, Kai reassured him, “Third Elder, don’t worry. I will attend this Pill Refining Meeting and ensure our Jade Tripod Sect is not disgraced.”
Kai felt it was his responsibility since he had consumed all the high-grade pills from the Jade Tripod Sect!
Seeing Kai’s determination, the Third Elder smiled instantly. He was well aware of Kai’s pill refining abilities, especially with the Shennong Cauldron in his possession—a true divine tool for pill refinement!
