Chapter 47: Pill Slave

Young Master Jiao's momentum climbed step by step. Meng Su's clothes moved without wind.

Just when Young Master Jiao's momentum reached its peak, a gentle female voice appeared in the hall: "What are you doing? This is the Xiuren Hall of the Dan Demon Sect, private fighting is prohibited. Those who want to fight privately, please go to the Life and Death Platform."

Everyone looked back, only to see a young girl, followed by four maids, walking slowly from outside.

The girl had a petite figure, big eyes and a beautiful nose, and was full of spiritual beauty, extremely beautiful.

Seeing the girl, everyone stepped aside one after another, giving way to the girl. The girl walked slowly to Meng Su and Young Master Jiao and stopped. Looking at the two, she said: "What's the matter? My words don't work? Still want to continue?"

Young Master Jiao smiled and bowed to Meng Su: "I didn't expect Little Pill Master to come

Meng Su looked at the young girl; although he did not know her, he knew from Gongzi Jiao that she should be a teacher who taught alchemy, but this teacher was shockingly young, probably only eighteen or nineteen years old. One should not judge a book by its cover. Meng Su also bowed and sat down.

Everyone hurriedly sat down.

The young girl and her maid walked to the podium and slowly glanced at the cultivators: "My name is Shi Xiaoxiao. My main purpose for coming here today is to sort you fellow Daoists into classes and categories. No matter how outstanding you are in your respective sects, or even if you are a Kirin Child, once you are here with me, you are all Alchemists. If anyone refuses to obey discipline, I will invoke the Demon Capital Code and expel you from the sect."

The cultivators were silent.

The young girl continued: "Now I will conduct a test to sort you into subjects. Please come forward one by one."

After the young girl finished speaking, the maid behind her took out a pill furnace. As soon as the pill furnace appeared, the temperature of the entire Great Hall suddenly rose. A faint divine sense transmitted from the pill furnace into the minds of the cultivators. This pill furnace was a Saint Treasure that had already birthed a simple artifact spirit.

Meng Su was sitting in the front row, so Meng Su was the first to walk up to the pill furnace.

The pill furnace did not react. The young girl found it very strange.

"Go back and walk past it again."

Meng Su was helpless and could only retreat and walk past it again.

The pill furnace still did not react.

The young girl found it very strange; she picked up the pill furnace to look at it, shook it, and then placed it back on the ground.

"Do it again."

Meng Su walked past it again, but the pill furnace still did not react.

The young girl was very surprised: "You step aside first, and let someone else try."

Gongzi Jiao walked up. When Gongzi Jiao walked past the pill furnace, the pill furnace transmitted a piece of divine sense: "Demon God peak cultivation, excellent aptitude, can become a First Grade Alchemist."

This divine sense was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears. Gongzi Jiao naturally heard it too; full of joy, Gongzi Jiao walked past Meng Su triumphantly, gave Meng Su a haughty look, and sat in his own seat.

Next, all the cultivators began to test, among whom three had excellent aptitude and could become Alchemists. But there were also those with poor aptitude who could only serve as Seed Alchemists. The so-called Seed Alchemists, to put it bluntly, were farmers who planted various medicinal herbs and raised some spirit beasts and other materials needed for alchemy.

Shi Xiaoxiao found a dozen or so cultivators with higher cultivation levels from the Seed Alchemist group to supplement the Righteous Demon Hall. Soon, all one hundred or so new Demon Cultivator talents were arranged, leaving only Meng Su.

Shi Xiaoxiao looked at Meng Su, sizing him up from head to toe. She said helplessly: "Which sect sent you as a new talent?"

"Fire Demon Sect."

"No wonder. The Fire Demon Sect's talent is withering and there is a gap in succession, so it is understandable. How about this: your cultivation level is too low, you don't have enough cultivation to enter the Righteous Demon Hall, and your alchemy aptitude cannot be detected, so you might as well be a Pill Slave first."

"What the hell is a Pill Slave?"

Shi Xiaoxiao smiled: "A Pill Slave is a laborer who helps Alchemists with chores; to put it clearly, it's a handyman."

Meng Su: "..."

Gongzi Jiao looked at Meng Su with schadenfreude.

Meng Su saw full malice in Gongzi Jiao's eyes.

Meng Su immediately raised his hand: "Report, I don't want to be a Pill Slave. My ancestors were farmers; could you arrange for me to be a Seed Alchemist?"

Shi Xiaoxiao looked at Meng Su in surprise; she had probably never encountered a student like Meng Su before. She thought for a moment and said: "Fine. Once you have grown the pill seeds well, perhaps I will transfer you into the alchemy group. Work hard."

Meng Su: "Thank you, teacher. Teacher is beautiful and kind-hearted. You will definitely find a good husband in the future."

Shi Xiaoxiao gave a faint smile, "Everyone disperse, return to your respective Cave Abodes."

Meng Su was led to his Cave Abode; the so-called Cave Abode was just a thatched cottage beside a medicine field.

The thatched cottage had three rooms: one was a bedroom, one held farm tools, and there was one for receiving guests. Meng Su did not know where a farmer like him would find guests to receive.

Meng Su was a very lazy person at heart, content with his lot, and had no great ambitions. The reason he had walked to this point today was entirely because he was forced.

In a pleasant mood, Meng Su looked at the vast medicine field before him, full of joy, and even hummed a little tune while walking. This was the life he wanted.

Generally, medicine fields were arranged in the places with the most abundant spirit Qi in the sect, so Meng Su's small plot of land was no exception. But this spirit Qi was of little use to Meng Su because Meng Su had a Reincarnation Seed, and since Meng Su cultivated Thought Power, ordinary spirit Qi was not of much benefit to him. However, abundant spirit Qi meant good air, and with good air, one's mood was relaxed.

Meng Su tidied up the things in the thatched cottage. Behind the house was a lush bamboo forest. There were various tools in the tool room; Meng Su picked up a sickle, ran to the bamboo garden behind, cut a few bamboo stalks, and made a reclining chair. After the reclining chair was finished, Meng Su lay on it and rocked back and forth, eventually rocking himself to sleep.

After waking up, Meng Su found a vegetable patch in the herb field, picked some vegetables, washed them in the mountain spring, and cooked a meal for himself. After eating, Meng Su discovered he needed to use the toilet. But after searching the entire thatched cottage, he couldn't find an outhouse. Helpless, Meng Su began to build an outhouse and dig a pit.

The pit was sited about thirty or forty meters away from the thatched cottage. After Meng Su finished, he suddenly discovered a cave behind it. The entrance was covered in vines and other plants.

Out of curiosity, Meng Su slowly walked into the cave. The cave was not large, with a depth of only twenty or thirty meters. At the end of the cave, Meng Su discovered a skeleton sitting in meditation. In front of the skeleton lay an iron box. Meng Su's mind immediately became active: "Martial arts manual? Treasure map?"

Out of politeness, Meng Su moved the white skeleton out of the cave, dug a pit, and buried it, then opened the iron box. Due to the long passage of time, the iron box was already covered in rust. Inside was a pill the size of a mung bean. This pill emitted faint wisps of fragrance; Meng Su picked it up to look at it and smelled it. It should have been a pellet for preventing insects and decay. It was certainly larger than this originally, but it had slowly evaporated until it was only this size. It was precisely the existence of this pill that had kept the contents of the iron box intact.

Inside the iron box was a book, but it was not some martial arts secret manual, nor was it a treasure map. Two words were written on the book: "Pill Scripture."

Meng Su took it in his hand and flipped through it; it was all insights on planting pills.

Under the book was also a letter. Meng Su opened the envelope and looked at it.

It turned out that this person was the first-generation Medicine King of the Medicine King Valley, who had followed the Reincarnation Demon Lord on many campaigns and established immortal merits. Later, during the Immortal Demon War, the Reincarnation Demon Lord was heavily wounded by Liao Liao. Liao Liao established the Demon Capital and sent people to win him over, but he was unwilling to come out of the mountains, so he sat and died here. In order not to let his skills be lost, he compiled this Pill Scripture and left it for those with affinity.
