Chapter 27: The Opened Mind Dan

  Back to normal updates, one chapter at 8 am and 8 pm every day from now on, thank you for your support!

  "According to what was said, there will be a test tomorrow, but I don't know what the content is!"

  "Testing endurance, is it climbing mountains and holding rocks? Hehe, I'm the best at these physically demanding tasks!" The sturdy youth in linen clothes chuckled.

  "Shi Sheng, why don't you come over and chat?" A girl looked at Shi Sheng and asked.

  "Oh, you guys chat, I'm a bit tired!" Shi Sheng didn't have the heart to idle chat with them, at this moment he was thinking about how to quickly advance to the Sea Boundary, so that he could bring Lin Wan'er over as soon as possible.

  "What did the elder want with you earlier? You don't have any acquaintances in our sect, do you? If so, please take care of us from now on!" The silly young man chuckled.

  Shi Sheng was speechless, he had almost been killed just now, what relationship did they have? These people were indeed thinking, and before Shi Sheng could even speak, the figure of Xiao Lao appeared in the room.

  "Shi Sheng, come out for a moment!" said Xiao Lao, turning around and leaving without even looking at the crowd. Some people looked envious, while others showed surprise on their faces.

  "Isn't it going to test me again? Can't I just stay here and cultivate happily?" Shi Sheng muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare show it on his face, and followed out with a expressionless face.

  All the way, Shi Sheng didn't dare to speak, and followed Xiao Changlao's twists and turns, finally arriving at Lian Dan Pavilion. The disciple guarding the door respectfully asked for a greeting, and Xiao Changlao just nodded, then took Shi Sheng into Lian Dan Pavilion.

  The hall is quite spacious, with several corridors around it, each with a tightly closed stone door, but they don't seem to be ordinary residential areas.

  "Long time no see, Elder Xiao!" A young man in a grey robe hastened to greet Elder Xiao with a respectful bow.

  "Is Yao Changlao around?" asked Xiao Changlao directly.

  Before the young man could respond, a stone door creaked open with a loud bang, and a thick fragrance of medicine wafted out. Immediately after, a hearty laugh echoed forth. Shi Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly as he sensed that this fragrance was somewhat familiar. Upon taking a sniff, his spirits were greatly lifted.

  "Haha, the 'Jade Bone Pill' has finally been successfully refined!" A middle-aged figure wearing a dark robe and with a sturdy build walked out from inside the stone gate.

  "Jade Bone Pill? But Elder Yao doesn't have any internal injuries, what's the point of refining Jade Bone Pill? Could it be that one of our elders has suffered a severe injury?" Elder Xiao wondered.

  "Haha, that's not it. I exchanged a treasure with someone and they insisted on the Jade Bone Dan. I wasted a lot of materials and spent over three months in closed cultivation to finally succeed!" The middle-aged man called Yao Chang Lao laughed heartily, seemingly in a good mood.

  "What's wrong with Elder Xiao?" Elder Yao looked at Shi Sheng.

  "Oh, nothing much, just get him a Revival Pill!" Elder Xiao smiled.

  "Kai Nian Dan?" Yao Lao raised an eyebrow: "Xiao Lao, although this pill is not difficult to refine, it's not something that can be given to just any disciple. Does this person have some relation to you?"

  "What the Great Elder means." Xiao Lao shrugged his shoulders.

  "I see, then I won't ask any more questions. Here's a bottle of Kaixin Dan." As he spoke, Yao Changlao took out a pale yellow jade bottle and handed it to Xiao Changlao.

  "All right, then we won't disturb Elder Yao any further. Farewell!" The two Elders exchanged a few pleasantries before leaving with Shi Sheng and returning to their residence.

  Under the arrangement of Xiao Changlao, Shisheng had a separate room. Although it was not large in size and simply furnished inside, Shisheng was exceptionally delighted.

  "Thank you, Elder Xiao!" Shi Sheng said.

  "Don't be polite, you've followed Master Fu for so long, you should have a good grasp of the basics. Now that we have the Open Mind Pill, it won't take long before you can break through to the Open Mind Realm and ascend to the Spiritual Realm. This room will be yours to use for closed-door cultivation." Elder Xiao's expression turned serious.

  After a moment of contemplation, Shi Sheng slowly opened his mouth: "Elder Xiao, I'd like to ask, what's the use of that Jade Bone Pill, is it very valuable?"

  Xiao Lao was taken aback at first, then smiled: "This question is too far-fetched for you. That's a medicine for treating high-level internal injuries. Ordinary people can't use it, and not many have the ability to refine it. Moreover, the cost is too high. Unless someone has an urgent need to treat their internal injury, no one would use this kind of elixir. Why are you asking about this?"

  "Oh, I see that both of you elders attach great importance to the Jade Bone Dan. I was just casually asking, junior as I am!" Shi Sheng said nonchalantly.

  "Kai Nian Dan has been obtained, and you can consider yourself an official disciple of the Tian Xuan Sect from now on. Here are some sect rules, as well as things to remember for junior disciples, and precautions for taking Kai Nian Dan. Take a look at this booklet. After a few days when all the tests are completed, we will arrange your living quarters!" Elder Xiao threw down a booklet and left the room.

  Shi looked blankly at the back of Xiao Lao as he left, feeling a bit unbelievable. The contrast between before and after was too great. Previously, he had almost taken his own life, but now he was given such special treatment?

  Actually, Shi Sheng didn't know that this treatment wasn't just for him alone. Of course, children from some small villages generally rarely receive such treatment.

  However, some towns have certain privileges for the descendants of famous families. In fact, when they come here, they don't need to take any tests and can directly receive the Kai Nian Dan. Of course, this is also at a certain cost, almost like buying their way in.

  Shi Sheng gazed intently into the distance, a hint of uncertainty rising in his eyes. He thought back to that medicinal fragrance again, recalling that he had smelled it once before when he first visited Wang Bo's home. Shi Sheng felt certain that he wasn't mistaken.

  "Let's not talk about the effect of Wang Bo's Yu Gu Dan for now. According to Xiao Lao's words, Yu Gu Dan is not something that ordinary people can refine. Wang Bo is just a symbol doctor, how could he possibly refine such a high-grade elixir? Is it possible that some other elixirs have the same fragrance as Yu Gu Dan?" Shi Sheng was somewhat perplexed.

  After a moment's thought, Shi Sheng shook his head, took out a light yellow jade bottle, and his eyes sparkled with excitement.

  "Entering the sect is really different, I didn't expect that the opening elixir I've been thinking about day and night would be obtained so easily. If I were on Earth now, I should be considered a master of special functions. Without a complete cultivation system and alchemy assistance, it's already reached its limit."

  But in this world, it's different. I wonder what kind of feeling it will be when the cultivators of this world open their spiritual realm? Hehe, it won't take long before I become a true cultivator myself, and that will be my gift to this world!

  Shi Sheng picked up the small booklet and carefully read the precautions for taking the Kai Nian Dan. He then opened the lid of the jade bottle, tilted his head back, and swallowed the Kai Nian Dan in one gulp.

  The pill had just entered his mouth when it transformed into a stream of heat that spread throughout his body. Immediately afterwards, the strange power wandered around inside him for a while before shooting up towards the top of his head.

  That scorching hot current rampaged through his mind, Shi Sheng felt like his skull was about to explode with pain, beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down his forehead, his face turned pale, and his body trembled violently.

  With a sudden movement in his heart, Shi Sheng hastily used his mental power to resist the pain and control the heat flow, which slowly condensed. After a moment, the pain subsided, and a vague whirlpool slowly took shape in his mind. (End of this chapter, next chapter will be more exciting!)
