Chapter 174

"Medicine Daoist, although these Fasting Pills may be different from the ones my grandfather, they shouldn't be worthless, right?" Zhou Yi asked uncertainly.

After seeing the expressions of the two elders, Zhou Yi was already certain in his heart that these pills were unlikely to be worthless, but he couldn't help but ask.

Medicine Daoist let out a bitter smile and said, "Elder Zhou, if these are worthless pills, then there would be no Fasting Pills in this world."

Zhou Wude also let out a sigh and said, "Yi, even though these are Fasting Pills, there are differences in quality. The Fasting Pills I concocted, although they also have the effect of fasting, swallowing one pill can only guarantee one day's worth of sustenance. But..." He glanced at the jade bottle and continued, "If one were to consume these Fasting Pills, it can guarantee three days and nights of sustenance. These Fasting Pills are undoubtedly top-tier."

A glimmer of excitement flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes. He understood the reasoning behind it. After his refinement, the combined vitality of those herbs undoubtedly far surpassed the pills concocted by Zhou Wude. The effectiveness of Fasting Pills should be differentiated by the amount of vitality in the pills.

"Elder Zhou, how did you refine them?" Medicine Daoist pondered for a moment and asked.

He was extremely curious. From the observations of the past few days, Zhou Yi's grasp of the path of pill refinement was indeed that of an outsider. Although he didn't know where he acquired a bit of knowledge, compared to the disciples in the Ling Yao Peak, he was still far behind.

However, to achieve such a level on his first attempt at pill refinement could only be described as a miracle.

Zhou Yi pondered earnestly and expressed his feelings during the process of pill refinement. Medicine Daoist's expression grew more and more amazed and serious, especially when he heard that Zhou Yi could sense the vitality within the herbs while using the wood-based cultivation method. His face instantly became radiant.

After a long while, Medicine Daoist let out a deep sigh and said, "Elder Zhou, I was initially worried that although you were interested in pill refinement, your achievements in the path of alchemy would be limited due to your Five Elements cultivation method. But now I finally understand that I was worrying for nothing."

He looked deeply at Zhou Yi and continued, "Elder Zhou not only has mastered the cultivation methods of both fire and wood elements but also possesses an astonishing talent in the wood element."

Zhou Wude's eyes lit up. Hearing his master's evaluation of his grandson, his heart was filled with pride, even more so than if he had received praise himself.

"Master, how did you come to this conclusion?" he asked in a deep voice.

Medicine Daoist smiled faintly and said, "According to ancient records, there are geniuses in this world who can sense the life force of herbs and plants. Such talent is extremely rare, even in thousands of years. If one can cultivate the wood-based cultivation method, they will undoubtedly be in their element. Especially when breaking through barriers, it will be a hundred times easier than for ordinary people."

In his gaze towards Zhou Yi, there was an intense sense of envy. He exclaimed, "Such wood-based talent is what all alchemists dream of. No wonder Elder Zhou chose the path of alchemy. Now it all makes sense."

Zhou Yi felt a cold sweat forming as he had no idea about the reason behind his talent. Even the ability to sense the vitality of herbs was discovered unintentionally. However, one thing he could be sure of was that this talent indeed had an unimaginably great impact on herb refinement.
