My Master Disconnected Yet Again (Part 4)

Epilogue 2: The Difference Between a Sword Cultivator and a Pill Cultivator

Compared to Lonemoon's new plane, the Invincible Sect really had nothing much to worry about. At the Sect's early stages, there was only Yu Hong and the other eight sisters. Now, all of them were immortal cultivators. Si Yu in particular was the quietest, but she was the most aware of them all. Naturally, her cultivation level was also the highest among them all. Now, she was already a Young Emperor, and was well on her way to becoming an Immortal Emperor. In addition to the fact that she was a body cultivator, she was much stronger than the other Celestial Emperors in the various continents.

As for Tian Yi, who had just ascended awhile ago, his luck seemed to get him to ascend straight to the Bo Sea continent. He took the token that Lonemoon had given him and found his way all the way to the Invincible Heavenly Palace. Yu Hong arranged for him to train under Boss Lan and Floaty, so that he could continue learning how to refine pills under them. After all, he had only just ascended. Everything he knew about pills in the lower realm was now obsolete. He had to relearn everything.

The good thing was that the Invincible Sect was extremely efficient. They had a constant supply of immortal herbs. What's more, Tian Yi was a natural pill cultivator – he picked things up very quickly. Boss Lan was extremely heartened that his progress was so good. After organising two lessons for him, he gave Tian Yi a few recipes and orders, then told him to train on his own.

Tian Yi was quite afraid of this process at first. All the lower-grade immortal pills required immortal herbs to refine them. He was only an Earth Immortal – it would not be nice for him to waste too much herbs. Yet, when he tried refining his first cauldron of first-grade pills, he caused ten explosions in a row. At first, he thought that he would be punished. However, all Master Lan did was hand him the key to the store room and say, "Here! Go and get your own immortal herbs. I'm too lazy to deliver any more of them to you." Then, he turned and called out to an immortal named Radish. Together, they went to water the immortal herbs.

Tian Yi was so guilty for being a burden. After pondering over this for awhile, he went to turn himself in to Master Floaty.

For some reason, he could not rest knowing that he was wasting so many immortal herbs. What's more, he had heard that the Invincible Heavenly Palace was the Heavenly Palace of the emperor of the Bo Sea. Ever since the emperor of the Bo Sea took his place, he never took in another disciple. Tian Yi himself had only been allowed to join the Invincible Sect because Brother Lonemoon had handed him that token. Although he had no idea where Lonemoon was now, he knew that he could not let Lonemoon down.

But the moment Floaty heard his report, he gave Tian Yi an immortal herb that resembled a dandelion. In a mysterious way, he said, "Why don't you put this in the concoction and see what happens? it will increase the pill's grade and protect the cauldron from exploding!" After awhile, he added, "It'll be alright as long as you don't let Radish catch you."

Tian Yi: "..."

(⊙_⊙)

No, he came to ask for forgiveness, not to cheat on his assignments! The immortal herb in his hands was without a doubt a top-grade immortal herb. It looked much more precious than the herbs in the rear mountain. Why was Floaty giving him this for no good reason! Were they used to being as wasteful as he was being?

Tian Yi had no other choice. He could only go back and tell the Managing Elder, Elder Yu Hong. She was the most senior in the sect, and she controlled everything that happened within it. Tian Yi was sure that he would not go wrong by reporting this matter to her.

Indeed, when Elder Yu Hong heard what he had to say, she frowned and tapped her fingers on the table for a long while. She looked to be in deep thought as she took one look at Tian Yi. After awhile, she retrieved a key and handed it to him, saying, "The sect is indeed lacking in lower-level immortal herbs. Why don't you use the fourth- and fifth-grade herbs first. You could even use the sixth- or seventh- grade ones if you want." With that, she dropped the key in his palm.
