Volume 1 Northern Beauty Chapter 29 Divine Pill or Worthless Pill

  "Because of a Dan medicine, otherwise except for your grandfather and your eldest uncle, the remaining Wu Shuai level can only be the current Wu Jiang or those who have just stepped into Wu Shuai!" Qing Yi said with a hint of bitterness.

  "What a powerful elixir! Mother said that this kind of elixir can instantly upgrade a martial general's level by several levels!" Qing Shui felt it was too unbelievable!

  "It's not just that, if you have good qualifications, you can be promoted from Martial General to Post-Heaven Peak in one go, but at the very least, you can be promoted from Martial General First Order to Martial General Tenth Order!"

  "What kind of pill is so against heaven?"

  The Qing Shui felt that it was too unbelievable, what kind of elixir could actually increase his cultivation by a whole level, which was a result that others could not achieve even after decades or even a lifetime of hard work.

  The alchemist is also too terrifying, this kind of elixir is also too against heaven and too destructive to balance!

  "The name of the medicine is 'Waste God Pill'!" The blue-clothed person's eyes were complex as he looked at Qing Shui, his heart seemingly thinking of something.

  "Mother, why is such a good medicine named 'Waste God Pill', it sounds like it's not a good medicine at all!"

  "It's a great medicine that can at least raise one's abilities by a level, and it could even be said to be of sacred quality. However, its drawbacks and side effects are also too terrifying for some people!" The man in green robes sighed and said helplessly.

  "Are there any drawbacks or side effects?" Qing Shui, although seemingly young now, has lived two lifetimes and understands many common things deeply. The more beautiful something is, the more it has a flawed side. He vaguely feels that there's something, but can't think of specific side effects.

  "Right, because those who take the Waste God Pill must be a Martial Artist at the 10th level peak, and cannot exceed thirty years of age. Depending on their innate talent and comprehension, after taking the Waste God Pill, they will at least advance to the various levels of Martial General or Marshal, but for their entire lives, they will never reach the 10th layer of Marshal, and from then on, there will be no further progress, let alone that crazy Innate Realm!" Qing Yi looked at Qing Shui as he slowly spoke, observing his expression.

  Qing Shui felt relieved upon hearing this, and his heart was a little more at peace. Otherwise, if there were no side effects, it would be too sad. Fortunately, this restriction made many people hesitant to take the risk, and at the same time, it limited the opportunities for many to take the Waste Removal Pill.

  A martial artist who has reached the peak of 10th level before the age of 30 will subconsciously rule out the idea of taking the Waste God Pill, not to mention its exorbitant price, but just the fact that it's a lifelong despair is enough. After all, people need to have dreams to live for, even if they can't be achieved, at least there's hope, although it's very elusive!

  Qing Yi saw Qing Shui's appearance and was also surprised, but then said:

  "Ascending to the Divine Realm is the dream of countless people on the mainland, and even if there's only a one in ten thousand or one in a hundred million chance, they wouldn't dare to touch that expensive Divine Elixir. Moreover, don't think that the Divine Elixir can be found everywhere; it's extremely rare and expensive, to the point where even with money, you can't buy it!"

  "What Mother meant was that someone in our household has taken the Waste God Pill." Qing Shui recalled that it was only when he asked about why there were no Martial Kings in the Qing Clan that his mother had said those words.

  "Except for your second uncle and grandfather, all the others including your eldest uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, and even your mother have taken the Waste Elimination Pill!" The green-robed man's words carried a sense of helplessness and a hint of inexplicable meaning.

  "Doesn't that mean you and your three uncles will never have the chance to set foot in Xiantian for your entire lives?" Qing Shui said with a tone of surprise, as if he was regretful and also found it difficult to accept.

  Qing Yi laughed, "Qing Shui, when your grandfather first came to this place, he relied on one person to take root here. After more than 20 years of hard work, he finally gained some reputation. Even we siblings are not bad, especially your second uncle who is already a level two martial general at a young age. As for me and your three uncles, we are still struggling to break through the gates of the Martial General!"

  Qing Shui saw Qing Yi stop and knew there was more to the story, so he didn't say a word and just quietly listened.

  Later, perhaps seeing the Qing family growing stronger, even several families in Baili City became uneasy. Especially when your grandfather broke through to Martial Master 10th layer, the several families in Baili City prepared to join hands and at least cripple your grandfather. They feared that the Qing family would affect their status in Baili City.

  "It's a good thing your grandfather received the news in advance and took out the elixir he had been treasuring for many years, but it was really hard to get your second uncle to take it. In order to leave some hope for the Qing family, a glimmer of hope that could once again step into the prenatal stage, but relying solely on your grandfather alone would not be enough to resist the joint forces of Baili City!"

  "So except for your second uncle, we all took the Waste God Pill and reached the Martial Marquis level. The several families of Baili City ultimately returned without success, but at the same time, the second generation of the Qing family, excluding your second uncle, didn't even have a glimmer of hope to set foot in the First Heaven. Therefore, this generation of yours will not take the Waste God Pill again, and your grandfather doesn't even have a few pills left in his hands. It's also impossible for three generations of descendants to take it."

  "It's indeed the Waste Pill, its miraculous aspect can be said to be that of a divine pill, but it is also a waste pill. Especially in large families, they would never give it to their junior disciples to take, because even if one reaches the Martial Marquis level through the Waste Pill, it's still far inferior to reaching the Martial Marquis level through one's own efforts, as they wouldn't be able to experience the epiphany and mental state brought about by breaking through each level."

  "So this kind of elixir is a divine elixir that even the most talented martial artists cannot obtain, not to mention those with poor innate qualities who have no hope of achieving it in their lifetime, and even the most powerful warriors are unable to attain it, yet people are willing to spend all their wealth to buy just one!"

  The saddest thing for a poor man is to struggle his whole life for things that others have had since birth but don't cherish. The saddest thing for a martial artist is to spend his whole life cultivating, yet not being able to obtain the power that others can get from taking a single pill that they don't even care about, while others wouldn't even deign to take this useless pill!

  "On the mainland, there are hardly a few people out of tens of millions who can set foot on the First Heaven, so the 'Waste God Pill' can still be said to be a divine medicine. Even in large families, it is extremely precious. In those days, your grandfather inadvertently obtained seven pills and has already taken four. The remaining three pills have been treasured like a precious gem!"

  "Mother, if you don't take the Waste God Pill, won't you and several of your brothers be like Second Uncle with a chance to set foot in the Prenatal Realm?" Qing Shui felt sad upon hearing that his mother had no hope of setting foot in the Prenatal Realm.

  Qing Shui's expression, Qing Yi saw it in her eyes, and she was very aware of his thoughts!

  "Foolish kid, it's not that easy to achieve Innate, but what Innate emphasizes is opportunity, peeping into the heavenly way. Without that kind of epiphany, great enlightenment, you can't enter Innate. Your grandfather has been stuck outside the Innate gate for sixty years and still can't break through!" Qing Yi sighed, mostly in dismay.

  "Sudden enlightenment, glimpse of the heavenly way?"

  Qīng Shuǐ recalled that he had once had an epiphany, deeply understanding the benefits it brought. One epiphany was at least equivalent to ten years of arduous cultivation, and if there was a bit of luck, one could benefit from it for their entire life. However, aside from epiphanies, insight into the Heavenly Way, or great enlightenment, were there any other ways to enter the Innate Realm? After all, epiphanies and insight into the Heavenly Way were matters of fate and opportunity, and most people didn't have an epiphany in their lifetime. Some people, like Qīng Shuǐ, had an epiphany when they weren't even at the peak of the Martial Sovereign's tenth level...

  Just as Qing Shui was about to ask his mother if there were any other ways to break through to the Innate Realm, he heard Qing Yi's voice.
