Counterattack System appeared when I'm already At The Mahayana Realm

Su Wei confidently smiled and said, ‘Your Majesty is jesting. There’s no elixir I,

Su Wei, can’t concoct.”

He continued, “The technique for refining pure blood pill is simple, but the tricky part lies in some unpopular herbs. For instance, the White Lingzhi Root, which grows under perpetual snow in the extreme north. This root blends in with snow – completely indistinguishable even with divine sense. The only way to find it is by digging into the snow with bare hands. I spent a year digging in the snow and still found none…”

“White Lingzhi Root.”

A portion of snow-white herb was placed before Su Wei.

“Also, there is the Flame Grass, that only grows when nourished with the blood of a Golden Crow. Now, only the sun possesses Golden Crow blood, so only there could you find Flame Grass. But at the moment you uproot the Flame Grass, a spirit of the deceased Golden Crow would emerge. Only by defeating this spirit could you…”

“Flame Grass.”

A red herb was placed before Su Wei.

“We need Earth’s Essence. This rare earth has the instinct to attract benefits and evade harm, making it very hard to find…”

A chunk of pitch black soil was placed before Su Wei.

“We need a complete shed skin from a dragon transforming Flood Dragon, which is tough to find…”

An entire shed skin of a Flood Dragon was placed before Su Wei, and Jiang Li urged him to continue.

Whatever else you need, just say it. The system store has everything.

“…There’s not much else, all pretty common. What kind of bloodline do you want to refine?” Su Wei thought he would have to prepare for a while, but he didn’t expect Jiang Li to have so many rare herbs on hand.

A flicker of surprise was visible on the girl’s face. She knew all the materials needed to make the pure blood pill. What her master referred to as common herbs were only traded through bartering or found in remote, uninhabited places, not something you could buy with spirit stones. Common, as in common in Alchemy Peak’s herbal storehouse.

“White Marsh blood.”

The pupils of Su Wei dilated instantly, as he understood Jiang Li’s meaning.

In this world, only one beast possessed the blood of the White Marsh.

The mixed-blood White Marsh Emperor.

The only use of a pure blood pill was to purify a beast’s bloodline.

Beasts were not like humans who relied on spiritual roots for cultivation. They depended on their bloodline, and the purer it is, the stronger they become.

Of course, the assistance of bloodline could only stretch until the Body Integration Realm. To break into the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, one must rely purely on themselves.

None of the existing beasts has reached the Transcendence Tribulation Stage.

“That’s problematic.” Su Wei seemed to be in a dilemma, “Pure blood pills

require a medicine primer. Depending on which bloodline you want to extract, a drop of the corresponding blood is needed, and it mustn’t be more than twelve hours since it was left the body.”

If it were Kunpeng, Qiongqi, Lu Wu, True Dragon, or Kylin, it wouldn’t be an issue. These pure-blooded beasts could all be found, and if Jiang Li approached them for some real blood, they would happily slit their wrists open and offer him a pool of it. The only problem was the White Marsh, there was no pure-blooded one in the Nine Provinces.

Jiang Li flipped through the system store but also found nothing.

He wore a strange expression.

A few days ago, the system issued a task.

[Task issued: In your pursuit of school credits, you carried out a school task.

You came to the Great Wei dynasty and ended up feuding with your peers in the process. Dealing with superior numbers, you unintentionally fell off a cliff, and accidentally stumbled upon a tomb. It belongs to a God-transformation stage cultivator. Please obtain the inheritance of this cultivator.]

[We do not recommend rejecting this task.]

[Rewards: A drop of fresh White Marsh blood, a Cultivation Technique to instantly increase explosive force, a large Replenishing Pill.]

It was a task ‘not recommended to reject’, which Jiang Li had never encountered before. He decided to go ahead with it.

However, this task was a bit of a hassle.

Obtaining inheritance wasn’t a problem for Jiang Li. The real issue was – who knows whose inheritance needed to be obtained?

There were countless God-transformation stage cultivators buried in the Great Wei and even Great Wei itself didn’t know it. Those cultivators died in secret and were buried, who would know of that?

Therefore, he instructed several leaders of the Imperial Palace to help him find the tomb of the God-transformation stage cultivator under the cliff. He would then inspect these tombs one by one.

At first, Jiang Li was merely curious, but now he was more puzzled. This task was too coincidental, to the point that he suspected the system could foresee his needs and issue tasks in advance.

But that’s not quite right either. Previous tasks didn’t provide many useful rewards. Did the system suddenly become smarter this time?

As Jiang Li was pondering, a call from the Remote Communication Talisman interrupted him.

Jiang Li answered and said instinctively, “Old Bai, what brings you here? I’m just at your Dao Sect.”

There was a moment of silence on the other end before the reply, “…It’s me, Pure Heart.”

“Oh, sorry, my mistake. I was lost in thought. What is it?”

Seeing that there were others around Jiang Li, Pure Heart made a sign.

Getting the hint, Jiang Li bid Su Wei farewell, announcing that he would find a way for the White Marsh blood issue and then flew out of Alchemy Peak.

“What’s the matter?”

“Master Hongchen has left home.”

“This is the letter left by her.”

Pure Heart showed the letter left behind by Master Hongchen to Jiang Li.

I’m going out for a while and will be back in a few days. Don’t worry, I have taken enough spirit stones with me – Red Dust.

Pure Heart explained helplessly, “Our master always wants to go out and have fun. We’re afraid she might stir up trouble if she goes out, so we’ve been stopping her. I guess our master grew resentful and didn’t want to push her way out, so she snuck away.”

For an Immortal to leave the sect they founded, even without their memories from when they were alive, it would be rather easy.

This was no small matter. Jiang Li had experienced the charm of Master Red Dust, which was beyond what any human could possess. It was something that could plunge the Nine Provinces into chaos.

“Hold on, I’ll ask an expert about finding people.”

Jiang Li disconnected from the Remote Communication Talisman and asked the Yin Yang Heaven Seal to use the karma of Red Dust to locate her.

“Master Hongchen? I have some impression of her.”

Master Hongchen had come to the Nine Provinces when the Yin Yang Heaven Seal was yet to gain wisdom but it still held a vague memory of her.

It looked down on Master Hongchen’s beauty, thinking that her charm could only affect humans. Could it make an Immortal Artifact fall in love too?

“Exaggerated. I don’t believe that anyone can possess beauty that would make anyone enamored.”

While saying this, it leveraged the power of karma. This time, the karma of the Yin Yang Heaven Seal worked, and it easily located Master Red Dust.

“She is in Feng City under the reign of the Great Wei dynasty.”

The Yin Yang Heaven Seal wanted to witness Master Red Dust in person, but Jiang Li didn’t dare to gamble on how strong Master Red Dust’s charm actually was. If the Yin Yang Heaven Seal fell in love and caused a mess, it would be a huge joke.

He told the Yin Yang Heaven Seal to obediently stay in Dao Sect and not spread any word of this.

Fearful of its past painful experience where it was almost smashed by Jiang Li, the Yin Yang Heaven Seal had to behave and stay in Dao Sect, continuing to compile the Spiritual Treasures cultivation method.

Curiosity was important, but life was even more so.

Once he knew the rough location, Jiang Li came to the airspace above Feng City. A sweep of his divine sense and he found Master Red Dust.

She was shopping..
