Chapter 401: An Astonishing Battle
Qin Sang did not act rashly.
Without a doubt, he had sincerely hoped that Wandering Man would see his wishes fulfilled—he would heal his hidden injuries and achieve tremendous breakthroughs in cultivation—not solely because of their personal bond.
Unless Qin Sang, after forming his Golden Core, found the time and opportunity to focus on refining his pills, he would have been forced to enlist an alchemist to help concoct the Du'e Pill in order to reach the Spiritual Infant Realm.
Remuneration mattered little compared to whether that person possessed the necessary ability and could be trusted.
Finding an alchemist worthy of such a responsibility was no easy task; with treasured items so capable of swaying hearts, let alone a divine pill like the Du'e Pill, the stakes were extraordinarily high.
It was rare that Wandering Man possessed such remarkable talent in the pill refinement. Even in the early stage of the Foundation Building Realm, his aptitude had granted him a seventy to eighty percent chance of successfully refining the Dark Patterned Heyun Pill—a clear testament to his ability.
Qin Sang stepped back a few paces and stood motionless, quietly observing Wandering Man. His spiritual consciousness subtly lingered on Wandering Man, ready to intervene if his situation deteriorated, but for now, it had not come to that.
On the arduous path of immortal cultivation, every hardship served as a trial that tempered one’s cultivation, a truth Qin Sang had come to appreciate deeply.
The predicament facing Wandering Man might even become the opportunity for a transformation; had Qin Sang intervened directly, he might have deprived him of this chance.
Moreover, once he acted, he would have to contrive an explanation for how he managed to remain unharmed in the bitter cold; the secret of the Jade Buddha, no matter their closeness, could never be revealed.
Step by step, Wandering Man’s strides had grown shorter, and the intervals between his steps had lengthened, yet he pressed forward, drawing ever nearer to the Night Lily.
