Chapter 415: Distributing the Pills

Outside the pill-refining room, Bei Bei and the others were organizing Tang Sect disciples for training.

Just then, the door opened and Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong walked out.

Seeing several dozen disciples sitting cross-legged at the doorway, they were both startled, but quickly reacted, unable to help admiring Bei Bei's quick response.

Bei Bei hurried over and asked anxiously, "How did it go? Did the pill refining succeed?"

"It succeeded," Tang Wulin said with a wry smile, "but we had a mishap and only managed to refine twelve pills."

"That few?"

Bei Bei's brows furrowed instantly.

He immediately understood why Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong's faces looked so grim at the moment.

With such a small amount, how to distribute them became a major problem.

He took a deep breath and said:

"Anyway, let's go to the meeting room first; I'll have everyone summoned."

"Mm."

Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong followed Bei Bei to the Tang Sect meeting room, and shortly after, He Caitou, Xu San Shi, and the others entered.

While waiting for them to arrive, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong quickly discussed how to allocate the pills, soon devising a perfect solution, and their expressions relaxed considerably.

After everyone had gathered, Bei Bei clapped her hands to draw everyone's attention.

"You all probably know about Tang Wulin's pill refining; just now he completed his task, but there was a problem—he only managed to produce twelve pills."

Upon hearing this, the joy on everyone's faces faded considerably.

They all knew about Tang Wulin's pill refining; originally, hearing he had closed his cultivation, they felt happy, but Bei Bei's words now poured cold water on them.

Just the people gathered here already exceed twelve, not to mention the other Tang Sect members and Shrek's share—how should we distribute them?

Xuan Ziwen was the first to stand up and said calmly:

"I'm getting old; I only want to study soul devices and have no interest in pills. You figure out the distribution—I'll leave first."

He was certainly lying; he is still at the Soul Douluo level, which is also the fundamental reason he cannot craft a nine-level soul guide device on his own—if he could reach nine rings with the aid of the Primordial Chaos Creation Pill, he could become a true nine-level soul guide master.

In this situation, claiming he has no desire for the Primordial Chaos Creation Pill would be an outright lie.

But he also knows deep down that, for him, this is about as far as he'll go in this lifetime; even if he breaks through to Honored Douluo with the pill's aid, most of that energy would likely be wasted, so it's better to give it to these energetic, promising youngsters.

So he rose to leave.

Tang Wulin quickly called out to stop him.

"Hold on, Professor Xuan, don't go yet."

"Tang Wulin?"

Xuan Ziwen frowned in confusion, noticing that Tang Wulin's face showed no worry or difficulty, but looked quite natural.

Tang Wulin smiled and said:

"Professor Xuan, and everyone else, you've fallen into a misconception: why must a single pill be given to only one person? The medicinal ingredients I used are all of high grade and in great quantity, yet so much material yielded only these twelve pills, showing that the energy within a single Primordial Chaos Creation Pill must be enormous; thus giving one pill per person would actually be a bad idea, don't you agree?"

After hearing his words, everyone present fell into thoughtful silence, and Bei Bei was the first to rise.

"I support what Junior Brother said; no matter how many Primordial Chaos Creation Pills there are, it doesn't prevent us all from having a share."

Upon saying that, everyone fell silent.

Among those present, Tang Wulin is the provider of medicinal herbs, the pill refiner, and the provider of spirit metal; Xuan Ziwen is the creator of the pill furnace; Bei Bei is the senior brother of Tang Sect—it can be said that, under normal pill distribution, they would certainly receive a share.

Yet these three have all foregone their own interests for the sake of everyone else, so needless to say, the others would as well.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Bei Bei looked at Tang Wulin.

"Tang Wulin, take out a pill and let us try it first; we'll test its efficacy to decide how to distribute them in the future."

"Okay."

Tang Wulin produced a Primordial Chaos Creation Pill from the Life God Domain, and a rich medicinal fragrance immediately spread.

Next, he took a huge crystal bottle from the Storage Soul Conductor Device.

This crystal bottle prevents the medicinal potency from leaking; he had originally prepared it expecting to refine dozens of Primordial Chaos Creation Pills, but now it found another use.

He opened the bottle cap, extended his right hand, and as a soft azure light emanated from his right arm, clear water gradually filled the crystal bottle.

Then he dropped the Primordial Chaos Creation Pill inside.

After sealing the cap, the water inside the crystal bottle quickly turned brilliant gold, radiating a captivating light.

After waiting a full ten minutes to ensure complete dissolution, Tang Wulin opened the cap again and poured the water into the ten-odd small bowls Bei Bei had prepared.

As he poured, he shouted softly, "Drink quickly, don't let the medicinal power dissipate!"

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly picked up their small bowls and drank the contents in one gulp.

Naturally, the last to act were Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong; as the medicinal liquid entered their mouths, both felt a pure and vast energy begin to rise from within their bodies.

Indeed, it is no wonder that a pill refined from dozens of top-tier heavenly treasures is so potent—even a fraction of one pill's strength is terrifyingly powerful.

They quickly sat facing each other, palms together, circulating their soul power to begin digesting the pill's medicinal energy.

As their soul power merged once more, the divine power of life and death descended again, instantly suppressing the immense energy brought by the Primordial Chaos Creation Pill.

Before such a fundamentally opposing force, the pill's medicinal power could only be obediently absorbed by the two of them.

Soon, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong opened their eyes.

Thanks to their martial soul fusion, their absorption speed was the fastest among everyone.

They glanced at each other, both seeing shock in the other's eyes.

Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong's soul power levels were roughly the same, around sixty-two, yet after absorbing that amount of medicinal liquid, their levels each jumped five ranks to sixty-seven.

This is only about a tenth of the pill's energy; they could scarcely imagine how much their cultivation would increase if they consumed an entire Primordial Chaos Creation Pill.

Of course, the premise is that they can safely digest that energy without incident.
