Chapter 423: Not at all desperate Wu Qun
Chapter 423: Not at all desperate Wu QunAlthough Luo Ying'er's words left Wu Qun feeling helpless, he noticed that since then, Luo Ying'er had indeed become more diligent.
Regardless of what the future holds, Wu Qun was extremely satisfied with the current Luo Ying'er.
He was also working hard to develop the Heavenly Medicine Palace, hoping that one day it could rival the Medicine King Palace.
Initially, Wu Qun was full of confidence, but all of that shattered when he visited the Medicine King Palace and saw everything with his own eyes.
First, there was the endless expanse of the Crystal of Xinghe... and the endless array of heavenly treasures...
To put it simply, Wu Qun possessed most of those heavenly treasures too, but he kept them hidden in his secret vault... unless faced with a life-or-death situation, Wu Qun felt he would never easily use those treasures.
However, when Wu Qun first visited the spiritual fields of the Grand Sky Sect, he couldn't help but ask... are we really living in the same world as the Grand Sky Sect?
Is it a distortion of human nature or a collapse of morality that allows the Grand Sky Sect's resources to be this abundant?
We collect heavenly treasures one by one, and obtaining a single rare herb excites us for half a year, bragging about it for three to five years.
We even invite friends and family to a spiritual herb gathering to admire it together.
But damn it, does the Grand Sky Sect produce spiritual herbs by the acre?
And what's more outrageous is that the Grand Sky Sect places no restrictions on these heavenly treasures... as long as you're a disciple of the Medicine King Palace, if you need anything, just go to Mu Bai and get it...
Moreover, Mu Bai's standard for distributing heavenly treasures is never just one piece, but a whole bundle...
You guys at the Grand Sky Sect bundle rare flowers like vegetables and distribute them, have you considered the feelings of other factions?
Originally, Wu Qun just wanted to see the Crystal of Xinghe, but the sight of those heavenly treasures left him utterly stunned...
With resources this absurd, how many years will it take for the Heavenly Medicine Palace to surpass them?
This arithmetic problem is too difficult, so much so that Wu Qun can't even calculate the time frame...
Perhaps it would take an era as a unit of measurement to calculate it...
If using heavenly treasures freely is already absurd to the extreme, then when Wu Qun saw the Crystal of Xinghe being cultivated towards the Fifth Grade, he was on the verge of collapse.
What happened to the promise that the Third Grade was the limit?
Wasn't it said that anything above the Third Grade was impossible to cultivate?
To Wu Qun's confusion, Mu Bai, serving as the tour guide for the Grand Sky Sect's spiritual fields, provided an explanation on the spot.
"Wu Qun, you may not know... the disciples of our Grand Sky Sect are actually under a lot of pressure... even I am constantly on edge, afraid of being surpassed... because you never know when a junior brother might suddenly surpass me..." ṛ????Ŋ????₿Ěŝ
"So, the disciples of our Medicine King Palace never set ordinary goals like becoming a Medicine Saint or surpassing a Medicine Saint, because such goals are too easily achieved and too easily surpassed by other junior brothers and sisters. So, we only set one goal for ourselves, which is to surpass the limits..."
"Only by constantly surpassing limits and challenging limits... can we pursue the path of the Medicine King Palace disciples... Our goal is not to pursue limits, but to let limits pursue us!"
Seeing Mu Bai's serious expression, Wu Qun knew that Mu Bai wasn't joking... he damn well meant it!
What... Mu Bai, do you hear yourself?
What do you mean by not setting ordinary goals like becoming or surpassing a Medicine Saint?
You consider these goals too easily achievable?
Did you consider the feelings of other alchemists when you said that?
Although Wu Qun wanted to say that Mu Bai's words were nonsense, every punctuation mark from Mu Bai was extremely serious.
Mu Bai said that Wu Qun, the Palace Master, might not know, but Senior Brother Xinghe gave our Muyue Nation a new life, and we must work hard, and Senior Brother Xinghe himself is a very demanding person...
The phrase Senior Brother Xinghe often says is: "If you really can't do it, go be lazy with Xiaoqi!"
Every time he hears this, Mu Bai is embarrassed.
Because Senior Brother Xinghe is implying that if Mu Bai doesn't work hard, he's only fit to be lazy with someone as useless as Mu Xiaoqi!
As for the useless Mu Xiaoqi... Wu Qun has met him...
Hmm... indeed very useless... a Seventh Grade peak alchemist... mainly skilled in refining Eighth Grade pills beyond his level, with only an 80% success rate!
You tell me, isn't that useless?
Wu Qun stated that compared to this useless person, let alone the disciples of my Heavenly Medicine Palace, even I, Wu Qun, don't deserve to be called useless.
Because although I, Wu Qun, am a Ninth Grade alchemy grandmaster, my success rate for refining Eighth Grade pills is also 80%... if I could refine Eighth Grade pills beyond my level with a 20% success rate when I was Seventh Grade, I could brag about it for a year in our Heavenly Medicine Palace with my fellow disciples!
So, isn't your definition of uselessness at the Grand Sky Sect a bit too outrageous?
It turns out that Mu Bai was not engaging in any kind of humblebrag, because Wu Qun witnessed Mu Bai pointing at Mu Xiaoqi and saying, Mu Xiaoqi, you waste! You're already at the peak of Seventh Grade, and you can't even produce a top-grade Eighth Grade pill beyond your level, with only an 80% success rate, how are you different from trash?
Hearing Mu Bai's insults, the other disciples of Muyue Nation all agreed that Mu Bai was right... Mu Xiaoqi is the disgrace of our Muyue Nation, should we petition the sect again to expel him from the Grand Sky Sect?
What do you mean petition the sect again? Because the people of Muyue Nation really did that before... regarding the request from Muyue Nation, even the Great Elder felt it was a bit too much, after all, Mu Xiaoqi also contributed to the research of the Crystal of Xinghe...
So the Great Elder said, maybe we should give Xiaoqi another chance...
Although Mu Xiaoqi stayed, he also became synonymous with trash, and if Xiaoqi's mindset was any weaker, he would have collapsed long ago!
But whether Mu Xiaoqi collapses or not, Wu Qun doesn't know, Wu Qun knows that he himself has already collapsed...
Is your Medicine King Palace really not humane?
When I heard Mu Bai say that becoming or surpassing a Medicine Saint was an ordinary goal, I thought it was outrageous, but damn it, now... Wu Qun thinks it's not outrageous at all, because there are about two hundred people like Mu Bai in the Medicine King Palace... and their goals are the same, not to surpass a Medicine Saint, but to surpass limits, to let limits chase them!
And Mu Bai also said that the new year is approaching, and although there are fewer people in Muyue Nation, they still selected about a hundred with decent talent to enter the Grand Sky Sect and the Medicine King Palace.
Regarding the so-called decent talent from Mu Bai... Wu Qun didn't want to comment.
When Luo Ying'er lost to Chu Xinghe, Wu Qun thought it was a loss to the Medicine Saint's inheritance, and as long as Luo Ying'er worked hard, there might be a chance to surpass in the future.
But now... Wu Qun knows, this damn thing has nothing to do with the Medicine Saint's inheritance...
Our Luo Ying'er, let alone competing with Chu Xinghe... if we were to challenge the Grand Sky Sect now, even the trash Mu Xiaoqi could rub Luo Ying'er into the ground...
To this, Wu Qun could only say, Ying'er... you don't deserve Mu Xiaoqi...
Of course, the Medicine King Palace doesn't only have disciples from Muyue Nation, there are still normal people.
Wu Qun wanted to see the normal alchemy disciples of the Grand Sky Sect... but after taking a look... Wu Qun could only say, I was wrong... the Grand Sky Sect doesn't have normal disciples at all...
Because under the cultivation and pressure from Muyue Nation, the alchemy abilities of those disciples have reached an unbelievable level.
They might still be quite a distance from the trash Mu Xiaoqi, but the distance between the Heavenly Medicine Palace disciples and them is immeasurable!
And what's more terrifying is that in the Heavenly Medicine Palace, disciples are given resources and quotas every month, and they rely on these quotas and resources to cultivate.
After all, the Heavenly Medicine Palace is in the business of selling medicine... the resources are absolutely maxed out.
Wu Qun always thought that our Heavenly Medicine Palace's resources were invincible.
Until Wu Qun inquired about the resource quotas at the Medicine King Palace, Mu Bai's words made Wu Qun understand... what true invincibility means.
"Huh? Palace Master Wu Qun, you're asking about the disciples' resource quotas? Hmm... I'm not too sure about the resource quotas for other palaces, but Senior Brother Xinghe instructed that we at the Medicine King Palace shouldn't bother with resource quotas, let them refine whatever they want, research whatever they want, no matter how outrageous, just let them refine freely, even if they keep failing, Senior Brother Xinghe will provide unlimited resources for their cultivation."
"What? Palace Master Wu Qun, you're asking about the Great Elder's opinion? The Great Elder never says a word about Senior Brother Xinghe's arrangements... not only is it like this at our Medicine King Palace, but all other palaces immediately execute any request from Senior Brother Xinghe, after all, the heads of each palace are quite busy... the Sect Master said that there's no need to report every little thing to the sect, just do whatever Senior Brother Xinghe says."
Wu Qun: "..."
Wu Qun wanted to know... who exactly is the Sect Master of the Grand Sky Sect? Is it Martial God Gu Mingchao?
With just one word from Xinghe, all resources are allocated, and the palaces have no objections... even if you fail endlessly, Chu Xinghe will still support you, no matter how outrageous your research is, Chu Xinghe will support it 100%.
Is this even a sect... Wu Qun suddenly had an idea... how about... I expel myself from the Heavenly Medicine Palace and join the Grand Sky Sect...
Because Wu Qun discovered that the available resources for the Medicine King Palace disciples have even surpassed those of him, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Medicine Palace.
If Luo Ying'er's previous defeat left Wu Qun somewhat despairing, at this moment, Wu Qun felt no despair at all.
In fact, he felt very calm.
Despair over what?
Is despair useful?
When you find that your opponent is twice as strong as you, and you can't defeat them, you feel very despairing.
But when you find that your opponent is a hundred times stronger than you, what is there to despair about... because you're not even qualified to be their opponent...
Not even being able to be an opponent, what is there to despair about?
