This might be a possibility, what if it is also an auxiliary ingredient in the pill but used in large quantities.
It seemed he had to go to the core sect no matter what, he had to see their missions too.
Now the only thing he had to decide was what way he should take to enter the core sect, his cultivation realm wasn’t enough to enter it, asking his master could work, but it might raise unnecessary suspicions, chances were low but never zero.
The third option was through a partner, the best option was senior sister Xie, but if not her, then he had to find another core sect disciple, in fact, if he asked Elder Yan to introduce him to a partner, she would definitely find someone from the core sect to increase his cultivation realm quickly.
It seemed that these were the only options left, he would ask senior sister Xie one last time to become his partner seriously, if she declined it, then he would go to Elder Yan.
But before that, he would make sure to tell senior sister Xie some truth about him, of course not something which would jeopardize this mission.
When Xie Ruyue saw him looking intently at the beast core, she came near him, "Anything unusual?"
Lin Feng shook his head, "No, it is just how I imagined it to be, but that makes things even more interesting... why would our sect need these things that much? After all, the pills made from these are just as effective as other vitality pills made from herbs.
There is no need for the sect to actively pay more to get these cores."
Xie Ruyue wasn’t very knowledgeable about pills, so she didn’t know about it, but since Lin Feng was saying that, then it would be the truth, "I have a feeling that it is related to the treasure which our sect recently got hands on."
She could only think of this conclusion, after all, these missions became available in the sect after their mission in the Central Region.
Lin Feng smiled when he heard that, it was good that she reached that conclusion herself, "It might be... Senior sister, are you curious about it?" His voice was a little playful, indicating it as a joke.
"Aren’t you too, junior brother?" Since he wanted to even check the beast core, that meant he was curious himself too.
Lin Feng nodded, "I won’t lie, I am curious, senior sister... As an alchemist as well as for my future, I really want to know what kind of pill the sect is creating, and if this pill is their trump card, then I have doubt about them winning this war."
"Oh, why would you say that?" Xie Ruyue was surprised a little, not because he was curious about the treasure, almost all of the sect was curious about it. Who didn’t want to know what heavenly treasure they had gotten hands on, she was surprised for the fact if it was a pill, then why was it worse?
Lin Feng shrugged, "It’s simple, actually, pills are consumed by humans... and no matter how much of a change it will create, a human body will always have some limitations. This is a harsh truth which can’t be changed no matter what.
So if this pill is really the trump card of our sect, then it has also weaknesses which can be exploited easily.
If by any chance our enemies found out about it, then given how strong the Frozen Heart Sect is, it would be impossible to win against them."
Xie Ruyue had a knowing expression, it did sound a little worse than having some unique treasure.
Although Lin Feng wasn’t able to guess the specific pill, he could already guess one of the main usages based on these ingredients.
It was some strength-based pill which improved the strength of the cultivator by increasing blood qi in the cultivator.
There were many types of pills in this world which gave such effects, but all had one common problem, strain on the human body.
Cultivators could not casually absorb an extreme amount of external blood qi, as this blood qi would harm them by tearing their muscles and tissues.
Although such injuries could be quickly healed through the very same blood qi, the cycle repeated endlessly, leaving the cultivator’s body frail and weakened once all the blood qi was depleted.
They could not even stop the depletion midway, as these pills ignited a state where blood qi was forcefully burned to unleash explosive strength, and the process continued until every last strand of blood qi was consumed.
And once everything was depleted, you could only rely on your spirit qi, if anything was left, that is, because you might have used that while attacking your opponent and not to mention spirit qi and blood qi can be converted into each other.
And because of this your body would forcefully convert that qi into some blood qi to make sure your organs were working.
Lin Feng could easily find many ways to counter such cultivators, if it really was this type of pill, then he wasn’t the least bit worried about this war.
Of course, the strength of two sects joining together shouldn’t be taken lightly, but at least they didn’t have to worry much about this nasty trump card of the Yin Yang Harmony Sect.
But was it really a pill which was used to increase the strength of cultivators forcefully? He had to become sure of it first.
"But junior brother, a pill like this can be used by multiple cultivators at the same time, and it can really be very terrifying, no?" Xie Ruyue could imagine the prospect of the pill.
Lin Feng nodded, it was indeed true that it was quite terrifying, "That is true, senior sister, if our enemies weren’t able to find a way to stop it, then it is far more terrifying than a single unique treasure.
But if by any chance the Frozen Heart Sect were able to find something which could make it ineffective, then our losses would be immense too, since we would lose all of those cultivators in one swoop.
That’s why I said, it’s a little risky move, like a gamble... maybe this is the reason why our sect is hiding this as a secret."
