Chapter 847: Wen Ya Seeks the Pill

Hearing Long Er's slightly excited tone, Wang Jianqiang's heart stirred.

A look of hesitation appeared on his face, "Long Er, are you asking me to use the Perfect Spirit-Nurturing Pill to deliberately curry favor with Ya'er?"

"Isn't this asking me to scheme against Ya'er? How could I do such a thing?"

"My conscience does not allow me to do this; not just for Ya'er, but for you too, Long Er, I will never scheme against you."

A flash of being moved crossed Long Er's face, then she shook her head, "Daoist Friend Wang, you are just too upright. Sister Wen Ya already has a good impression of you; this isn't scheming. If it weren't for that old turtle... *ahem*, that old bastard the Sect Master blocking it, you two would already be Dao Companions."

"I am only asking you to add a proper catalyst."

"A catalyst?"

Wang Jianqiang was somewhat bewildered.

Long Er shook her head, "Daoist Friend Wan, stop digging for the bottom of the matter, just do as I say."

Wang Jianqiang couldn't help but ask, "How do I do it?"

A flash of wisdom shone in Long Er's eyes, "It's very simple, Daoist Friend Wan just needs to apply the same process you used when you sought to purchase the Perfect Spirit-Nurturing Pill from me to Sister Wen Ya."

Wang Jianqiang was full of confusion, "What process?"

"The cultivation method, have you forgotten, Daoist Friend Wan? It's that special cultivation method with three ways to cultivate," said Long Er.

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang's expression suddenly became serious, "Long Er, you don't think that I was lying to you back then, and only said that to entice you to help me cultivate, do you?"

"Wan can swear that I have never deceived you, Long Er, by a single word."

"If there is any falsehood, may every time I undergo Heavenly Tribulation in the future, a Heart Demon Tribulation descend upon me!"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Long Er hurriedly shook her head, explaining, "Daoist Friend Wan, why would you think that? I have always trusted your character, how could I doubt you?"

"I don't mean that you lied to me, but that I want you to use that method to lie to Sister Wen Ya."

"To cook the raw rice into cooked rice."

"How can this be?"

As soon as Long Er finished speaking, Wang Jianqiang immediately shook his head in righteous refusal, "Wan has never deceived friends, and besides, Wen Ya is your good sister, Long Er..."

"If I were to even deceive Wen Ya, how could I be at peace in my heart?"

"Wan cannot do it~"

Seeing this, while Long Er felt moved by Daoist Friend Wan's noble character, she sighed, "Long Er knows that Daoist Friend Wan is an upright person of noble character, and it is indeed difficult for you to go against your heart and deceive Sister Wen Ya."

"But, if you don't win Sister Wen Ya over, once she finds out about the relationship between us, I won't be able to explain it to her."

Saying this, Long Er took Wang Jianqiang's hand and said half-coquettishly, "Daoist Friend Wan, just treat it as helping Long Er, okay?"

"As long as Sister Wen Ya becomes yours, the relationship between us will be a matter of course."

"This..."

Wang Jianqiang was full of difficulty, his expression struggling for a moment.

"Daoist Friend Wang, I beg you," Long Er said in a sweet voice.

Wang Jianqiang sighed, "Then what about the Sect Master? I already promised the Sect Master back then..."

"You only promised the Sect Master not to become Dao Companions with Sister Wen Ya, you didn't promise him not to have contact with Senior Sister Wen Ya, what are you afraid of?" Long Er said righteously.

"This... won't the Sect Master cripple me?" Wang Jianqiang was somewhat worried.

"He dares!"

Long Er's beautiful eyes widened, "If he dares to cripple you, I will have Gui Shu suppress him."

Wang Jianqiang's expression stirred.

In Long Er's words, the two characters "Gui Shu" had been mentioned more than once.

It seems this so-called "Gui Shu" must be a hidden powerhouse within the Beast Taming Sect, whose status and strength are likely feared even by the Beast Taming Sect Master.

A look of hesitation appeared on Wang Jianqiang's face, and after thinking for a long while, he looked at Long Er with doting eyes, "Since that is the case, let's do as you say."

Hearing this, Long Er immediately showed a look of joy, "Yay, that's great, Daoist Friend Wan, you are so kind."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head helplessly, "Since you've put it this way, Long Er, even if it goes against my heart, I have to help."

Five days later.

Long Er rested briefly, then left Wang Jianqiang's residence with a face full of excitement.

She did not take away those Perfect Spirit-Nurturing Pills, but let Wang Jianqiang keep them for the time being.

Before leaving, she repeatedly urged him that when she "inadvertently" leaked this news to Wen Ya and brought Wen Ya to seek the Pill, he should "conditionally" gift these pills to Wen Ya, thereby taking the opportunity to win Wen Ya over.

In this process, everything must be natural; one cannot be careless, and even less can one be rushed.

Therefore, it would take some time.

In Long Er's estimation, this time would not be long, roughly between one to two months.

After Long Er left, Wang Jianqiang entered seclusion once again.

Now his cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and cultivation was useless before breaking through to Spirit Transformation.

He simply took out the Instrument Furnace and began accumulating Cultivation Points.

One month later.

In the Cultivation Room.

An Instrument Furnace floated in the air, and a scorching aura continuously diffused from it.

At a certain moment.

Wang Jianqiang hooked his finger, and a long sword flew out from the Instrument Furnace.

In his Soul Sea, on the Attribute Panel, the Cultivation Points increased by one.

Just as Wang Jianqiang was about to continue refining, his expression suddenly stirred; he took out a Sound Transmission Talisman to listen for a moment, and a faint arc lifted at the corner of his mouth.

Outside the residence of Wan Guiyuan.

Wen Ya's long hair, as if cast from ice crystals, shimmered with a brilliant luster under the sunlight.

She looked toward the woman beside her, who had short, jade-white hair and a heroic bearing, her face filled with trepidation.

"Long Er, do you think what we are doing is somewhat inappropriate?"

"Precious cultivation resources have always been a Cultivator's personal secret, and treasures like the Perfect Pill, which only exist in legends, are even more impossible to seek."

"Daoist Friend Wan is now only one step away from breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Stage, so he must cherish a divine medicine like the Perfect Spirit-Nurturing Pill, which enhances the cultivation of Spirit Transformation stage Cultivators, extremely highly."

"Back then, for Junior Brother Wan to be able to gift us the Perfect Spirit-Nurturing Pill he had on him was already a tremendous act of friendship."

"Now that Junior Brother Wan has had a stroke of luck and obtained more Perfect Spirit-Nurturing Pills, they should rightfully be kept as his own cultivation resources, yet we are insatiable and have come to his door to ask for pills."

"Will this make us appear too greedy?"
