Chapter 501: Ginger Is Hot After All

I wholeheartedly agree!As soon as he finished speaking, Marcus excitedly shouted. Although this promotional film cast him as the villain and might slightly affect his image, it ultimately secured his...As for the matter of improving one's cultivation, that's settled for now. Sistui Changkong then said to Ye: "Ye little brother, regarding my earlier proposal, I hope you'll reconsider joining our Xuanyuan Pavilion. You would be appointed as the Fourth Elder and be in charge of training for the Heavenly Soldiers plan."

Ye Bufan shook his head firmly and said, "We just talked about this, my aspiration is to be a simple doctor. Healing people is my lifelong pursuit. I'll pass on joining the Xuanyuan Pavilion."

Si Tu Changkong rubbed his hands and said, "Ye Xiaoxiong, our Xuanyuan Pavilion really needs talents like you right now. As long as you agree to join, we can discuss any conditions."

"Besides, the old man just helped you out, you should at least give him some face, right"

He has never been one to take credit, but now there's no other way. He is extremely optimistic about this young man before him, but the other party is unmoved and he can only use this matter as a bargaining chip.

Ye Bufan smiled and said, "Senior Situ, one thing at a time. As thanks for what you just did for me, I'd like to offer you two sets of houses. What do you think"

"You little punk, you're stubbornly refusing my old man, are you"

Ye Bufan said, “It’s your old man who made it difficult for us.”

Sistru Changkong let out a hum and said to Sima Wei, "Girl, go get me that box."

Sima Wei didn't know what the old man wanted to use the box for at this time, but she still ran out obediently and came back a moment later wearing a large wooden box.

This box is roughly a meter in each dimension, tightly bound and looking quite heavy.

Sima Wei said, "Grandpa Situ, what's in here It's so heavy!"

This wooden chest is indeed extremely heavy. If it weren't for her cultivation having reached the peak of the Xuan rank, she probably wouldn't even be able to lift it.

Si Tu Changkong broke into a sly smile and patted the box. "This is a big treasure, our Tianbing plan relies on it."

Seeing the old man place so much importance on this box, I couldn't help but probe it with my divine sense. In an instant, my heart was thrown into turmoil.

Situ Changkong extended a finger, and with a flick, the sharp sword qi instantly sliced open the lid of the wooden box.

Sima Wei, out of curiosity, lifted the lid and found a bronze ancient cauldron inside.

She reached out and took the cauldron. It didn't seem very large, but it was extremely heavy. It was covered in ancient patterns, looking like bronze at first glance, but a closer look couldn't reveal its material.

On the front of Yaoding, two extremely ancient characters were engraved. Although she didn't recognize these two characters, she could feel the desolate aura of ancient times.

Ye Bufan, with his divine awareness, saw the ancient cauldron differently from others. At this moment, it emanated a faint medicinal fragrance and spiritual energy that seemed to be tangible.

This is not only a medicine cauldron, but also a divine artifact. In his eyes, it's a priceless treasure.

He stretched out his hands and slowly caressed the delicate patterns on the alchemy cauldron, muttering to himself, “This is the Cauldron of the Divine Pharmacist.”

The Medicine God is precisely those two ancient characters, and they are also the name of this tripod.

Seeing his infatuated expression, Situ Changkong became even more pleased and smiled, saying, "How about it, Ye Xiaoyou, isn't this treasure of mine good"

He was being very cunning with his words, putting particular emphasis on the phrase "my treasure." It was a subtle way of implying that this thing belonged to me.

Ye Bufan only then woke up from his infatuation and looked at Situ Changkong, saying: "Senior, give me a price. How much would this cauldron cost to sell to me"

"No money needed, just join my Xuanyuan Pavilion and this cauldron will be yours."

Si Tu Changkong said, a sly smile appeared on his face, like an old fox, as if he had already grasped the vital point of this young man, knowing that he would definitely agree to half of it.

Ye Bufan sighed and couldn't help but sigh that the older generation is still more experienced.

This old man must have learned about his search for the medicinal cauldron from Sima Wei, so he specially prepared such a big treasure, completely coming prepared.

And this old geezer was quite patient. He first brought out the president's decree and then the Crane God Needle as payment, but he never revealed the Pharmacist Cauldron until now, all to negotiate with me in the end.

To become one of the three elders of Xuanyuan Pavilion, he must surely be no ordinary mind.

He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't bear to part with the medicinal cauldron no matter what. He could only say helplessly, "You win."

Situ Changkong burst into laughter: "That's right! It's great to join Xuanyuan Pavilion. From now on, we'll be family."

Sima Wei only then understood why this old man had just said that the Heavenly Soldier Plan relied on it, it turned out to be able to control Ye Bufan's treasure.

No wonder it was shrouded in secrecy on the way here, not letting me see what was inside. Now I see why they were afraid of me leaking the information.

Ye Bufan took the Yaoshending in his hand and said with an affectionate tone, "Go ahead, tell me about your Tianbing plan. What can I do to help"

Sithu Changkong's expression became serious as he said, "Regarding this matter, the three of us old fellows discussed it for a long time, and we had some ideas before this incident."

Currently, undercurrents are surging. Many countries are trying every means to strengthen their special departments. For example, the US is employing mechanical cyborgs, while China is opting for bio-engineered ones.

We have also conducted meticulous research on both approaches for a long time, and finally determined that neither is suitable for our Chinese culture.

As for us in China, both mechanical cyborgs and bioengineered humans lag significantly behind Western advanced nations in terms of technology.

"Just continuing down this path won't yield good results. It would only be about picking up the scraps left behind, a foolish act of sacrificing your own strengths to exploit others' weaknesses."

Sima Wei said, "Grandfather Situ, you're right. We definitely can't compare to Western countries when it comes to creating biohumans and mechanical modifications."

Sistuhe Changkong said: "Technology is just one reason. The most important thing is that these two methods completely violate the way of heaven and will never last long, nor achieve great success. Therefore, we in China disdain them."

Ye Bufan put down the Yaoshending in his hand and asked with interest, “According to your meaning, senior, what way is Xuanyuan Pavilion planning to take”

"Of course, it's about playing to our own strengths."

Master Situ Changkong said: "Martial arts is a treasure left by our Chinese ancestors. Although it has declined in recent years, it is not comparable to those from the West."

So the three of us old fellows discussed and decided that the Tianbing plan would be based on rapidly improving the cultivation levels of martial artists. We would use techniques and pills to quickly build a super-strong special team, which would be the guardians of our China, the Tianbing.

Sima Wei said, "Grandpa Situ, this method is not bad."

"The best solution, but implementing it is very difficult, otherwise it wouldn't have dragged on this long."

Our Chinese martial arts are the best, but even a random set of techniques requires ten or eight years of training to achieve any progress. Dan pills that quickly enhance cultivation are even harder to come by, sought after for thousands of gold coins and only possessed by some hidden sects.

Sistru Changkong said: "After a period of exploration, we were almost ready to give up this plan because it was an impossible task."

Until Lao Ye suddenly appeared, giving us hope again.

Looking into his gaze, Ye Bufan's scalp tingled. He couldn't help but suspect that the old man had some unusual hobbies. Xun said again: "This shielding formation and the Hongmeng Heavenly Killing Formation were both personally arranged by ancient powerful beings. They are incredibly powerful and designed to safeguard...
