The Thing That You and I Can't Figure Out

People looked up into the high sky and praised the kindness of Haotian. However, no matter how diligent and clever they were in cultivation, they never dared to think of flying into the sky. Because they knew, no matter how steep the way was, it could not be harder than going to heaven. No one had ever made it because the way from the earthly world to heaven was filled with difficulties.

The Divine Hall of Haotian was in West Hill, which was self-crowned as the only bright school that could understand the doctrine of Haotian in the world. However, no one ever heard that some Great Divine Priest could ascend to heaven and become immortal to be one of the members of Haotian.

There was a magic pill called the Heavenly Power Pill in West Hill. From only its name, the value of the magic pill could be known. It was deeply hidden in some unknown place, therefore it could hardly be seen in the world.

At this time, there were two Heavenly Power Pills in the china bottle in Chen Pipi’s trembling hand.

“They all call me the genius of practice that they’ve never met in hundreds of years, and gave me three Heavenly Power Pills when I entered into the sect. In the end, the old monks held a meeting for three days. Anyway, Brother Ye only had one pill that year. One I ate, one is for saving my life, and the last one is left for helping my Senior Brother enter into the next state. How could I simply give it to you like this?

“The Heavenly Power Pill can’t help people to ascend to heaven, but it can increase people’s life by 10 years and maybe make a cultivator enter into the next state directly. If I gave these two pills to the King of Great River Kingdom, he would give me at least 30,000 virgins in return, or even give his throne to me. If I gave the pill to the leader of the Devil’s Doctrine, perhaps he would gladly betray his school and join in West Hill.

“How valuable the Heavenly Power Pill is! I should give it to you just for healing?”

If dying Ning Que needed ordinary gold or treasures, or even his Psyche Power, Chen Pipi would never hesitate. But these pills were very important, and they were the most valuable pills in Haotian Taoism. If they were found outside Haotian, no one knew how many conflicts would be provoked, so he hesitated and struggled.

Drastic mental struggles lasted for a long time in his head. Then without notice, the fat lad, looking at Ning Que in a coma, sighed bitterly and said, “Those monks always said it was more important to save a life than building seven-story stone towers. Although I don’t know what importance there is in building those ugly stone towers, I believe that sentence makes some sense. However, I still think your life is not more important than this pill. Anyway, the pill can’t speak, and moreover, you just rascally entrusted your life to me before you passed out.”

That so-called reason was just an excuse to persuade himself. Chen Pipi opened the sparkling china bottle cap, and carefully dropped one pill into his palm with a sad face, then put it into Ning Que’s mouth.

The pill looked a little brown, with no gloss nor strange smell, which did not even induce hundreds of birds to celebrate. It just spread a slight herb smell, and looked so common.

“If you died earlier, the Heavenly Power Pill would be saved. If you didn’t come to the Academy, this pill would also be saved. If… you were not that boring to leave a message on the paper, I wouldn’t know you and this pill could be saved as well.”

Chen Pipi put the pill into Ning Que’s mouth, gave him some water, and helped him to disolve the pill while he pressed on his chest, complaining the entire time with a sad, pitiful look on his face.

“You are so smart and have good perseverance, moreover, you also have good comprehension. However, all the acupoints in your Ocean of Qi and Mountain of Snow are unactivated. You are so poor, or you are a lad that is cursed by Haotian.”
