Mustika Naga's
The Long Guan Difficulty

Inside the living room of the Outer Disciple, there appeared a young man lying down in pain. If he paid close attention, he was Wang Cao who was injured from Long Guan's punch.

Beside him, there was an elder who was treating him. Next to him was a couple who were sad to see Wang Cao's condition.

The woman's eyes looked swollen because she had just finished crying.

“After a few days of treatment, Wang Cao's condition will improve” Elder Wang Xuemien told the couple, who are known as Wang Cao's parents and are the elder brother of Elder Wang Xuemien.

The condition of Wang Cao who collapsed after arriving at the Sixth Hill. With the authority of Elder Wang then both his parents came to visit and see the condition of Wang Cao who was seriously injured.

After some time, Wang Cao opened his eyes, seeing his grieving parents he said in a weak voice.

“Dad, Mother why are you sad?”

Seeing Wang Cao's already human condition, Elder Wang Xuemien sighed saying.

“You should not move much first, your condition is still not possible to move. Your dantian was quite badly injured, although it was curable but it took a long time".

“What?”

Wang Cao, who had just regained consciousness from his stupor, was now struck by lightning.

“Must be.."

"Impossible.”

Wang Cao's head was almost about to break.

Wang Cao was previously a talented young man from the Wang Family, if he were to experience injuries to his dantian then it would affect his martial development in the future.

His cultivation path would be hampered even though he had recovered. The dantian that was once injured will experience a decrease in the ability to absorb Spiritual Energy, in contrast to normal Dantian conditions in general.

“Damn it!” maki Wang Cao in heart.

In his mind full of hatred looming over Long Guan's face, he would take revenge at any cost, he would also get Yu Nuan to treat his irritation. Thinking of this, his frowns seemed to hold back the anger.

At the same time, Long Guan was researching the materials and effects of the Sixth Hill Artificial Pill that became the source of the power of the Star Sword Sect.

It is also what makes the people of the Sixth Hill untouchable, besides mastering martial arts they also have reliable alchemists in refining herbal ingredients into medicine and Pills.

“From the ingredients and how to concoct them These Pills are not much different from the Tier Three Pills and the Universe Pills. But the content of this Pill is not perfect" said Long Guan slowly after feeling confident in his assessment.

Then he asked Yu Nuan and Yu Nuwa to name some kind of herbs. There were different names in the Spiritual Realm, yet they had the same shape and type. It was just that the quality of the herbs in the Spiritual Realm was very different from that of the Mortal World.

It was already afternoon, but Long Guan did not want to lose any time for free. He was still examining the Pill Gifting the Treasury Hall,

“Nona Nuan, please tell me what Pill is this?”

Deftly Yu Nuan mentioned the three types of Pills that she had separated.

He mentioned the Purification Pill, the Recovery Pill, as well as the Gold Jade Pill. Purification pills were useful for increasing the cultivation of a Cultivator in breaking through, Recovery Pills were useful for healing wounds, whereas Gold Jade Pills served to treat a hundred types of poison.

“There are several ways to get it, first we will buy it in the Herbal Hall located in one of the Sixth Hill, but considering our relationship is not good with Elder Wang Xuemin of course this becomes impossible. The next way is to look for it directly at Mount Five Fingers, the mountain is inseparable from Mount Jari Sakti. However this way is considered quite dangerous, the Five Fingers Mountain is not a friendly place for cultivators like us, at least those at the Fourth Universe Level who can enter it” Yu Nuan said while shaking her head.

He seemed pessimistic by this state, the dominance of the Sixth Hill in alchemy and medicine greatly determined the progress of the Sect as a whole.

“Oh, have you ever made Pil” asked Long Guan suddenly.

Faced with this kind of situation he was not worried at all, his expression remained calm as usual. Yu Nuan was surprised again and said.

“Previously on Sixth Hill my sister and I were never given the opportunity to enter the Hall of Purification, so I could only hear from a few disciples. Others I just read the general knowledge about herbs contained in Library” replied Yu Nuan helplessly.

If he remembered himself while still on the Sixth Hill, he felt sad. After he rejected Wang Cao who had expressed his feelings, the following days of emphasis on him really greatly influenced the development of his cultivation.

Despite being on the Sixth Hill, he and his sister did not get the resources to increase their strength. He was only given the task of collecting and filtering herbal ingredients.

“Alright if so, I will teach you and your sister to purify the Pill. I see your talent in mastering herbal ingredients is quite extraordinary, so you and your sister just need practice to unite theory with visualization”, said Long Guan lightly.

“Did I not hear wrong?” yu Nuan said in shock.

He was not sure Long Guan possessed such abilities, even though he had previously received alchemical records from Long Guan, he thought that because Long Guan did not understand the records, he said, it seems he mistakenly judged Long Guan.

While looking at the equipment left behind by his teacher, Long Guan felt that there was no problem with some furnaces and other tools in concocting Pills, all he needed right now were the ingredients.

“Lusa I will soon collect the ingredients!” long Guan said without hesitation.

In his heart he wanted to explore the Five-Finger Mountain opposite the Fifth Hill where he lived. Long Guan's gaze was fixed on the Five Fingers Mountain, his curiosity filling his mind. He sensed that behind the greenery scene, the spiritual aura in the Five-Fingers Mountain Range was denser than in the Four Gods Mountain.

“Alright if so, I will also prepare some herbs that I can collect on Fifth Hill, Yu Nuan replied with a casual expression.

Long Guan then asked Yu Nuwa to summon the eighteen disciples who had previously joined.

It did not take long, those who were previously resting after taking physical training immediately followed Yu Nuwa towards the Alchemy Hall that Long Guan had set up.

"Greetings brother Guan" said some students representing others.

"How are you guys doing?" long Guan asked watching those who were still sweating after the hard training given by Long Guan.

"We are fine, this kind of exercise makes us comfortable to sleep at night" one student replied with a loose smile.

Long Guan realized the effects of his training had not had a significant impact, because it had only been three days they lived it. Then Long Guan took out a bottle of Pill that contained the Purification Pill. Each of them got three grains, this made them surprised.

Usually they only receive one Pill each month, now they receive three at a time.

"Is this not a waste?"

Long Guan smiled lightly looking at their expressions, then said.

"Over these three days you've been training hard enough, so your energy needs have also increased by several folds. Tonight please cultivate quietly and I hope you do not disappoint me" Long Guan said steadily.

The eighteen disciples were of course very happy at this moment.

"Thank you brother Guan, we won't let you down" they replied in unison.
