Chapter 2827: Chapter 2827 - 26: Counterattack Against the Ancient Saints! Shuzhe Turns the Tide_2
Only a professional like Dan Saint Jiang Li Huo would possess so many Returning Heaven Sacred Pills at once.
"The three of you coming to support is already a big help. If you don’t accept these, it means you’re not treating me as one of your own." Seeing them being courteous, Wang Shouzhe straightforwardly forced the resources onto them.
Other First Grade pills aside, the Returning Heaven Sacred Pill was merely a burden for Wang Shouzhe.
Although it is a healing Sacred Pill, in terms of healing effects, it pales in comparison to his Life Mysterious Energy.
In the past, when he was merely in the Divine Power Territory, he healed the True Immortal Seed of Heavenly Rui Jiang’s by pretending the effects of the Returning Heaven Sacred Pill. Now, with Wang Shouzhe being at the advanced stage of the Transcendent Void Realm with the Daozi Bloodline, his healing power has become far stronger than before.
If it weren’t the case, how could Wang Shouzhe manage to heal Cai Youdao and Wang Chenlun?
Take Cai Youdao for example.
Cai Youdao, for instance, suffered Heavenly Dao backlash due to recklessly meddling with the operation of the Cycle River. If a mere ten or eight Returning Heaven Sacred Pills could heal his wounds, he might have sold the Seven-Colored Sacred Peak in fury to buy Returning Heaven Sacred Pills to heal himself.
However, this assumption doesn’t hold at all.
Of course, it’s not to say that the Returning Heaven Sacred Pills are entirely ineffective. If Cai Youdao had the money to take an Eleventh Grade Returning Heaven Sacred Pill every century, even under Heavenly Dao backlash, he wouldn’t have fallen to such a pitiful state in the True Immortal Realm.
With Wang Shouzhe’s healing power back then, it took some time to gradually stabilize his injuries, allowing Cai Youdao’s God Sense to recover to the level of a Sacred Supreme, barely regaining some aura of authority.
From this, it’s evident that the drug effect of the Returning Heaven Sacred Pill is about equivalent to the short-term healing effect Wang Shouzhe possessed when he was in the Divine Power Territory.
As for the effects of the Twelfth Grade Life-and-Death Taoist Pill, Wang Shouzhe doesn’t know, but it’s presumed to be stronger than his current short-term healing power.
However, if he devotes time for long-term treatment, the effect would surely surpass that of the Life-and-Death Taoist Pill.
Especially for severe injuries that reach the fundamental level, Wang Shouzhe’s Power of Life Origin holds a distinct advantage.
This can be inferred from the recovery effect of Cai Youdao.
Cai Youdao managed to keep his life under Heavenly Dao backlash thanks to a Life-and-Death Taoist Pill. However, while the Life-and-Death Taoist Pill preserved his life, it couldn’t completely heal his injuries, leading to his subsequent predicament.
Putting aside these digressions.
After being forcefully given these treasures, the three Sacred Supremes couldn’t help but have an even better impression of Wang Shouzhe.
Aligning with Wang Shouzhe indeed has many benefits.
He is meticulous, generous, far from the likes of the Ancient Saints factions with eyes on top of their heads.
At the same time, they had a bit of regret in their hearts. If they had known, they should’ve been more proactive earlier, perhaps joining forces to block Jiang Li Huo more forcefully might have earned them more spoils.
After distributing the spoils and gathering some goodwill, Wang Shouzhe didn’t let the Sacred Supremes leave. Instead, he ordered Wang Youping to prepare some top-notch ingredients and cook them into dishes, inviting the great figures and a few of the remaining card-playing friends to have a hearty meal.
At the banquet, amidst the clatter of cups and laughter, everyone’s attitude warmed significantly.
After eating and drinking, Wang Shouzhe ordered the dishes to be cleared away, replacing them with Immortal Tea. The group of great figures simply sat at the long table by the water platform, drinking Immortal Tea.
Everyone knew in their heart that this wasn’t over, and new trials awaited them.
Wang Shouzhe personally brewed a cup of tea for the Tianrui Saint Emperor, and with a casual smile, he said, "I heard the Ji Family and Jiang’s were pressuring His Majesty to cut off trade cooperation with our Shenwu Sacred Alliance? How does Your Majesty plan to respond?"
Upon hearing this, the Tianrui Saint Emperor’s once joyful expression instantly turned gloomy.
"This matter is also giving me a headache." He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, using the calming effects of the Immortal Tea to soothe his mood, although his tone remained quite heavy, "The Ji Family and Jiang’s, one holding the military equipment authority, the other controlling the supply of military elixirs, should be strengthening the human race’s army in unity to better address various crises. Instead, these profit-rich industry channels have become weapons for them to recruit lackeys and exclude dissidents."
Water Moon Sacred Supreme disapproved, "Saint Emperor, why bother with them? Without their military equipment and military supply elixirs, do you have no other means? Can’t we organize artifact refiners and alchemists to manufacture ourselves?"
"Water Moon Daoist, your Water Moon Heavenly Abode is a neutral and detached force with no standing army, so you naturally can speak like this." The Tianrui Saint Emperor was full of distress, "You don’t quite realize how enormous the cost of annual military supplies is for our Tianrui Sacred Dynasty and the various immortal dynasties under its command. Even a ten percent price difference results in a huge sum, and over time, that becomes astronomical."
"Indeed." Ancestor Si Dingsheng nodded, echoing, "The military equipment industry from the Ji Family and the military supply medicinal industry from the Jiang’s are vast and terrifying industrial clusters. They have such massive production capacity, allowing them to procure raw materials at low prices, and they further reduce production costs by mass training low-level artifact refiners and alchemists. Some raw materials they even produce themselves directly."
